Chapter 12
Regardless of Xiaoshuang's obstruction, the man went straight into the room to check.
The interior furnishings are very simple, unobstructed, and there are no people.
But you can't hide in any corner.
...
Shen Li pressed Si Yan behind the door of the inner room, barely daring to breathe.
She didn't know why she did that just now, anyway, she subconsciously dragged Si Yan to hide behind the door.
After all, he also saved himself once, so he should repay his favor.
But soon, Shen Li realized that her decision was not very wise, the space behind the door was limited, especially with Si Yan being such a big man, the two of them could only stick close together so as not to be exposed.
Shen Li grabbed the hem of her skirt, trying to reduce her sense of existence, when she suddenly felt pushed.
She looked up and saw Si Yan was frowning, with a disgusted expression on his face.
Shen Li tilted her head to look at him, her face was speechless, what should she pay attention to at this time, if it wasn't for him, why would she be in such a mess?
The footsteps outside were getting tighter and tighter, and it seemed that they had already reached a place separated from them, and there was a high possibility that they would be discovered in two more steps.
With a calm face, Si Yan took out a dagger from his waist, as if he was ready to fight.
But just when the man wanted to continue walking in, the yard suddenly became noisy.
"Who are you, you dare to break into the official family's wing?"
Xiao Ting's questioning made the unscrupulous people in the yard lose their balance.
The person closest to her explained.
"Madam, we are also cooperating with the government in investigating the case."
Xiao Ting looked at him suspiciously, and then said calmly.
"What kind of case are you investigating, but tell me, which yamen are you from!"
At this time, most of the people who were offering incense outside had come back, and all the people who had been searching the room were kicked out.
Surrounded by all the ladies, a group of big men seemed a little helpless.
When the two sides were confronting each other, Si Zhong came over from outside the courtyard. He first glanced at the group of men, winked, and then walked towards Lu Xiangwan.
"Mom, what's the matter?"
Lu Xiangwan had never seen this group of people before, so she naturally didn't know that they belonged to Si Zhong. She took Si Zhong's arm and pointed at the group of people.
"It's just them, who said they were investigating the case by the government, but they dared to enter the wing room to search for people, and they don't know why."
Not to mention the rugged looks, and not wearing official uniforms, who knows where they came from.
After hearing this, Si Zhong scowled and said aggressively.
"It's so courageous, get out of here quickly, can you bear the burden of offending a nobleman?"
After speaking, he did not forget to comfort Mrs. Lu.
"Don't worry, I'll take them to find out their identities, you go in and rest."
……
In the room.
Shen Li still maintained her previous posture, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard the crowd outside dispersed, when she heard a cold voice above her head.
"Not yet loose."
Only then did Shen Li realize that she was still holding Si Yan's arm.
She hastily let go, her face was as calm as usual, but from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Si Yan straightening her clothes with a dark face, and she couldn't help but slander.
Didn't he just grab his clothes and look so innocent and damaged, those who didn't know thought she had done something to him.
Reminiscent of the scene in the carriage last time, Shen Li reasonably suspected that this person had a cleanliness fetish, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and in a blink of an eye she looked well-behaved and sensible again.
Shen Li turned to ask Si Yan.
"Should you go?"
In the next second, Shen Li didn't hear Si Yan's answer, but was terrified by a scream.
"Miss!"
