Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 831 Another visit to Ashou’s family

Shen Luoxin peeled a melon seed and ate it, and realized that this was the enthusiastic Aunt Xue that Ji Wuyan mentioned before. She was indeed very enthusiastic. Her words became more familiar, and she smiled and thanked her while apologizing, "Okay! Thank you for your concern, aunt. It happens that the elders in the family like to eat melon seeds. I will definitely come over to visit you in the next two days... I was really embarrassed just now because I was in a hurry. It hurt. Are you there?"

Aunt Xue was already enthusiastic and liked these pretty and lovely little girls. Seeing how "obedient and obedient" this girl was, she naturally felt a little more fond and pleased. She waved her hands and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter." The skin is rough and the flesh is thick, so pinching it twice won’t do anything. Go back quickly, girl, and don’t stay here any longer.”

Shen Luoxin nodded and said hello, said goodbye to Aunt Xue and walked towards the entrance of the alley. After not taking two steps, Aunt Xue called out to her again, "Hey, girl!"

"Remember, don't go to A Shou's house. There will be no good in it! Madam, I met a girl about the same age as you before. She was pretty, but polite and gentle, but she said yes very well. I don't want to go, but as soon as I turned around, I saw her coming out!" Thinking of the baby from before, Aunt Xue shook her head repeatedly and warned her, "Go back well, don't imitate her. Do you know?"

This girl who "promised well and came out as soon as she turned around" was obviously Ji Wuyan.

Shen Luoxin knew it in his heart. He pursed his lips and snickered, while nodding in agreement, "Yes, don't worry, aunt. I won't imitate her. Since I agreed to aunt, I will go back now. Thank you for reminding me!" After that, he waved his hands, bid farewell to everyone with a gentle smile, and walked out leisurely.

With this lesson in mind, Aunt Xue stood there for a while and watched Shen Luoxin leave. The younger lady beside her nudged her in the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Why are you still worried? You are not my wife." Whoever reminded me has done my best to be kind and righteous.”

Aunt Xue smiled, did not explain, put half a handful of melon seeds in the other person's extended hand, said, "I remember there is still some life in the house," and went back.

She was not worried about the person in front of her, but suddenly thought of the girl before, and felt a little sad - the little girl smiled with crooked eyes, very soft and endearing, but she didn't expect that such a little girl could stand calmly, neither humble nor overbearing. In the courtyard, I was exchanging greetings with Guan Cha. I didn't know how he was doing now, whether he was sick or not. It would be a pity if it were true...

But then she paid attention to it for a few days and never heard any news about it, so she was relieved - the girl looked like a respectable daughter of a wealthy family. If she was really infected with the epidemic, there would be no news about it. It doesn't matter if there are none. I guess there is no problem.

She is such a lovable little girl, and her face is also a blessing.

……

Shen Luoxin walked out of the alley, turned a corner, and then took another alley, avoiding the women in twos and threes, all the way to the back door of Ashou's house.

There is also a seal on the back door. After these years of wind and sun, the writing on the seal has faded and faded, giving a sense of right and wrong. Shen Luoxin raised his hand and touched it lightly, but he didn't break the seal after all. She is only eighteen today. According to the eldest lady of the Xue family, two or three days ago, a dark shadow fell on the Ashou family in the middle of the night. I don’t know if this dark shadow will come again. If I rashly break the seal, Maybe someone will find out soon and alert the snake. It's just that although the courtyard wall doesn't look high, it's still a bit difficult to climb over. Looking around, he didn't see anything that he could use to stand on tiptoe or use his strength. Shen Luoxin was troubled for a moment, wondering whether he should try to avoid danger and break in, or whether he should go out and look for big rocks and move them in two. , two black shadows suddenly fell down behind him. Shen Luoxin was almost frightened and jumped up instantly. He subconsciously blocked it with his hands, "You, you--"

The other party landed on the ground, cupped his hands, and saluted. His voice was as smooth as an ancient well, "Girl, you want to come in. I can take you in."

There was no malice at all, and he claimed to be a subordinate. Shen Luoxin instantly remembered that Ji Wuyan had said that he had arranged two secret guards for herself, but too much time had passed and she had forgotten about it. Then he put down his arms angrily and asked with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "You...are you the secret guards arranged by Wuyan?"

The other party's expression did not change at all, and he nodded and said, "Yes. If the girl wants to go in, my subordinates must have some skills. It will not be difficult to bring the girl in, if the girl doesn't mind."

It was a clear day and the two brothers were all wrapped up tightly. Only their eyes were still outside. What else could I care about?
It's just that I don't know what's going on here. My previous speculation has not been confirmed. If there are really things left by the epidemic patients, it is really irresponsible for me to take these two buddies in rashly.

Having made up her mind, she shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, please help me find some big rocks. I can just dig them in myself... Also, you can leave after you find the rocks." "You don't have to protect me during these days," she warned one by one, and then said, "Also, when you go back, tell Wuyan that I won't go to Ji's house these days. I... I have some things that I need to check carefully, so I live in my own home, so please don’t worry.”

The secret guard did not question any of her orders, he just nodded and said yes. After a while, he moved a few large square stones, built them up, and then stepped back to confirm, "Do you have any other orders, girl? If nothing happens, I will Then he left."

She raised her foot and stepped hard to make sure that the base was solid, reliable, and high enough. Then she thanked the two secret guards, "Thank you, brothers. Please go back. Thank you for taking care of me these days."

The secret guard then jumped away.

Shen Luoxin used these big rocks to climb over the fence and landed in the backyard.

The backyard was deserted and dilapidated, with old farm tools stacked everywhere and a broken fishing net that was obviously no longer usable. The weeds half as tall as a man had withered and lay scattered there, with no trace of human life at all.

It's not that I have never lived in a small courtyard. The home that Xu Siniang and hers lived in was not much bigger than this place, but it was clean and warm, unlike here... Come to think of it, life in the Ashou family was really difficult.

Shen Luoxin pushed aside the weeds blocking the road and prepared to go to the front yard to take a look. His eyes casually swept across the backyard, and there was a flash of light. She subconsciously turned her head and looked slightly startled.
