Chapter 12: Hide
Ignoring Xiaoshuang's obstruction, the man went straight into the house to check.
The furnishings in the room are very simple, with an unobstructed view and 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 this just now, anyway, she subconsciously pulled Si Yan and hid behind the door.
After all, he also saved himself once, so he should repay the favor.
But soon, Shen Li realized that his decision was not very wise, the space behind the door was limited, especially with a big man like Si Yan, the two of them could only cling to each other so as not to be exposed.
Shen Li tugged at the hem of her skirt, trying to shrink her presence, when she suddenly felt like she was being pushed.
She looked up and saw Si Yan frowning, his expression a little disgusted.
Shen Li tilted his head to look at him, speechless, what else should he pay attention to at this time, if it weren't for him, he would be so embarrassed?
The footsteps outside were getting tighter and tighter, and they were already walking a door away from them, and two more steps would make it highly likely that they would be discovered.
Si Yan looked calm, and took out a dagger from his waist, as if he was ready for a fight.
But just as the man wanted to go further, the courtyard suddenly became noisy.
"Who are you who dare to trespass into the room of the official family."
Xiao Ting's questioning made the people who were originally unscrupulous in the courtyard confused.
The person closest to her explained.
"Madam, we are also cooperating with the government in investigating the case."
Xiao Ting glanced at him suspiciously, and then said unhurriedly.
"What kind of case is being investigated, but let's talk about which yamen you belong to!"
At this time, the people who were pouring incense outside basically came back, and the people in the courtyard and the people who were originally searching in the room were all driven out.
A group of big men looked a little helpless surrounded by all the ladies.
When the two parties were confronting, Si Zhong walked over from outside the courtyard, he first glanced at the group of men, made a look, and then walked towards Lu Xiangwan.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Lu Xiangwan had never seen this group of people, and naturally she didn't know that they were Si Chong's subordinates, so she pulled Si Chong's arm and pointed at the group of people and said.
"As far as they are, they said that the government was investigating the case, and they dared to enter the wing room to search for people, and they didn't know what the way it was."
Not to mention the long ruggedness, and they don't wear official uniforms, who knows where they came from.
After hearing this, Si Zhong raised his face and said menacingly.
"What a big boldness, why don't you get out of here and collide with the nobles?"
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to comfort Lu.
"Don't worry, I'll take them to find out their identities, you guys go in and rest."
……
house.
Shen Li was still in his previous posture, and after hearing the crowd outside, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he heard a cold voice coming from above his head.
"Don't let go yet."
Only then did Shen Li realize that he was still holding Si Yan's arm.
She hurriedly let go, her face was calm as usual, but when she caught a glimpse of Si Yan sorting out her clothes with a dark face, she still couldn't help but slander.
Didn't he just grab his clothes, just look innocent and damaged, I don't know what she thought she had done to him.
Thinking of the scene in the carriage last time, Shen Li reasonably suspected that this person had a habit of cleanliness, she pursed the corners of her mouth, and in a blink of an eye, she looked well-behaved and sensible.
Shen Li turned sideways and asked Si Yan.
"Isn't it time for you to go?"
In the next second, Shen Li didn't hear Si Yan's answer, but was startled by a scream.
"Miss!"
