Chapter 6 The Uninvited Guest

With Xiang Toon's soft scream, Shen Lili's body fell down along the door frame.

The panic-stricken Xiangchun hurriedly pulled her to evacuate, but realized that the door was about to be opened. In desperation, Xiangton took out a pack of powder mist medicine from his waist and pointed it at Bai Ji who had just opened the door to check the situation. Throw away.

Bai Ji quickly covered his eyes with his left arm to prevent the medicine from getting into his eyes. When he saw the picture clearly, there was no one at the door, only the plum blossom trees in the courtyard, which were about to be defeated, were shivering in the cold wind.

Xiang Toon dragged Shen Lili, who was unconscious, and hid under the eaves beside him, not daring to take a breath, for fear of disturbing the patrolling soldiers nearby.

She looked down at the reckless young lady, and couldn't help muttering, "I told you not to act tonight, but you just didn't listen!"

"This has made me look like this, how can I mess around in the rivers and lakes in the future!"

Complaints are nothing but complaints, she still carried Shen Lili on her back, crossed the wall, and escaped successfully.

Bai Ji returned to Lu Chaoyan's side, bowed his head and remained silent.

From the corner of his eye, Lu Chaoyan glanced at the swaying candles blown by the wind, got up after a while and said, "It's getting late, you should also go down and rest."

Before leaving, Bai Ji observed Lu Chaoyan's face again to make sure he was not angry before he dared to back down.

He took off his clothes and lay on the bed looking at the curtains. He seemed to have some answers in his mind, but he couldn't figure out why a lady from a great family would run to Gongsun's mansion in the middle of the night.

This is not the behavior of a woman who has not left the court!
That's it.

He closed his eyes, wanting to put everything behind him and sleep comfortably.

Not long after Xiang Toon stepped into Shen's residence, another man in black jumped into the courtyard and went straight to Shen Binghe's courtyard.

She wanted to chase after him, but there was Shen Lili behind her. She couldn't ignore her young lady, so she had to take Shen Lili back to the room first.

"Miss, this servant is going to check on the situation first, so you can have a good sleep."

After covering her with the quilt, he went straight to Shen Binghe's room without delay.

Shen Binghe was not in the mansion tonight, because there were some mistakes in checking the books during the day, so he stayed in Buzhuang and informed the mansion not to wait for him.

But now who is coming to Mrs. Shen in the middle of the night?

Xiang Toon's sneaky cat was at the door and heard whispers from the room. She was sure that it was Cui Ying who was beside Mrs. Shen talking to a man, but the man's voice was very strange and she didn't recognize it.

"Aunt Cui, the situation is urgent, please take the young lady to evacuate!"

The man's tone was full of urgency and worry, but who was the lady he was talking about?
And why are you so nervous?
"I see. This matter has to be decided by the young lady. If the young lady agrees to evacuate, I will notify you. Not everyone can enter the Shen residence. Without an order, don't bother the young lady again!"

"Understandable."

Xiang Toon was thinking about who this person was with her head down, when she heard the sound of the door opening, she hid quickly.

The man looked left and right and disappeared into the courtyard after confirming that no one was there.

Cui Ying came out with the leftover soup Mrs. Shen drank before going to bed, gently closed the door and turned to leave.

Madam Shen's dowry maid, Cui Ying, has always been Madam Shen's most trusted person, how could she meet a strange man?
Besides, the relationship between the two is still superior and subordinate. Could it be that Cui Ying has a huge background?
Thinking about it, Xiang Toon was afraid that this matter would be extremely detrimental to the Shen family, so he had to inform Shen Lili as soon as possible.

Following all the way, seeing the man turn around and enter a carpenter's shop, Xiang Toon looked up and down a few times, thinking about coming back tomorrow to find out the bottom line, and quietly retreated.

"My lord, this princess and my wife are about to arrive in the capital, so my lord should make plans earlier."

Xue Ping looked at Meng Wanzhou, who was immersed in the chessboard, and reminded him in a low voice.

"Do you think Fifth Brother will have an idea for this princess?"

Although Meng Wanzhou knew that he and Meng He were just an alliance, the relationship between the two brothers was not good and he didn't care about anything.

Xue Ping looked at Meng Wanzhou who was holding a black chess piece and didn't know what to do. This chess game seemed to be in the current situation, and the chess piece in Meng Wanzhou's hand was Na Tuya.

"Although King Qingping has a close relationship with the prince, he still has to be on his guard. Although this princess is not of royal blood, she is considered the most favored princess among the many princesses. If she gets married with her, it will make the prince even more powerful."

Thinking that the power of the grassland should not be underestimated, Xue Ping naturally wanted to remind his prince not to be careless and let others take advantage of it.

Undecided, Meng Wanzhou suddenly dropped a chess piece and said, "This king will not let the princess go to another family. If she has eyes but does not know Mount Tai, then let her come and go."

If that Tuya doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, then get rid of her, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by others and cause unnecessary trouble in the future.

"King Qingping can't relax his vigilance either."

Meng Wanzhou's head is still in severe pain, how could Hao Duanduan slip into the water?

Moreover, someone tampered with his wine, and besides Meng He, he couldn't think of anyone who could approach him with such resentment towards him.

He lightly held his forehead with his left hand, and Xue Ping retreated knowingly upon seeing this.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

Early in the morning, Shen Lili's cries like ghosts and wolves came from Shen's residence.

The busy maids and buddies in the mansion seemed to have gotten used to it for a long time, and Shen Lili's shouting did not affect them at all.

Xiang Toon sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Shen Lili who was rolling around on the bed hugging the pillow, with a look of lovelessness.

Knowing that she was in such a mess last night, Shen Lili wished she could slap herself to death.

"Miss, it's better to get up quickly. This servant has something important to tell you."

"I won't listen! I won't listen! I won't listen!" The crazy Shen Lili couldn't listen to what Xiang Toon said at all, and still didn't care about the eyes of the other maids, acting like a monkey on the bed, acting weird and ridiculous.

In the courtyard, a maid walked through the crowd, over the flowers, and came to Shen Lili's boudoir.

"Miss, Madam has an order, tell Miss to wash up quickly and go to the hall to meet guests."

It's a maid in Mrs. Shen's courtyard. She speaks decently and has a good posture. The toon looks a little embarrassed.

"Who are you seeing?" Shen Lili threw down the pillow, sat up "swish", and looked at the maid standing by the bed with a dazed expression.

The servant girl shook her head slightly, and said in a soft tone: "I have little knowledge, I have never seen this person before."

"That's all. You go back and tell your mother, and you'll be there in a while."

He didn't know who he was going to see, and he didn't even know the maid next to his mother, so he was afraid that Madam Shen would be in a hurry, so he asked the maid to return to her life first.

Xiang Toon originally wanted to tell Shen Lili what happened last night, but she didn't know how to speak. After all, Shen Lili was raised by Cui Ying and had deep feelings. She was afraid that she would not believe what she said.

After Shen Lili was fully dressed, she hurried to the lobby. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Lu Chaoyan sitting in the lobby.

"Why are you here?!"
