MTL - Help! The General’s Gone Mad With Pampering Me-Chapter 12 hide
Chapter 12 Hiding
The man ignored Xiaoshuang's obstruction, and went straight into the house to check.
The interior furnishings are very simple, with a clear view and no one.
But it is not guaranteed to 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 what she did just now, anyway, she subconsciously dragged Si Yan and hid 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 had to 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 a time like this, if it wasn't for him, why would she be in such a mess?
The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and it seemed that they had already reached the place where they were separated by a door. With two more steps, they were very likely to be discovered.
Si Yan looked calm, and 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.
explained the person closest to her.
"Madam, we are also cooperating with the government to investigate the case."
Xiao Ting looked at him suspiciously, and then said calmly.
"What case to investigate, but tell me, which yamen are you from!"
At this time, most of the people who were offering incense outside have come back. There is a crowd of people in the courtyard, and all the people who were searching in the room were kicked out.
A group of big men seemed a little helpless surrounded by ladies.
When the two sides were confronting each other, Si Zhong walked 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.
"Only they, saying that the government is investigating the case, dare to enter the wing room to search for people, and they don't know why."
Not to mention the long and rough ones, 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 soon, 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 house.
Shen Li still maintained her previous posture, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the crowd outside dispersed, when she heard a cold voice above her head.
"Not yet loose."
Shen Li realized 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 still couldn't help but slander.
Didn't he just grab his clothes, with such an innocent and damaged look, 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 habit, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and in a blink of an eye she looked well-behaved and sensible again.
Shen Li turned sideways and asked Si Yan.
"Shouldn't you go?"
In the next second, Shen Li didn't hear Si Yan's answer, but was terrified by a scream.
"Miss!"
