Marriage in crisis

The old woman paused, turned her head to look in their direction, then turned around and continued walking forward, apparently delivering tea, coffee and other things to the study.

I let out a breath softly.

I secretly felt lucky that it was an old lady and she didn't react so quickly, otherwise it would have been really bad!

When the old woman turned a small angle and disappeared from sight, the two of them quietly continued to move forward quickly and followed behind the old woman.

I was in a state of tension the whole time. You know, there are quite a few rooms here, and you never know when someone might suddenly appear from any of them.

Until turning the corner, Chi Xi leaned out the camera, and we all saw that the old woman raised her hand and knocked on the door of the study twice, then pushed it open and walked in.

The moment the old lady entered the study, the two of them quickly turned to another corridor, hid in the corner, and waited for the old lady to come out.

The soundproofing of the rooms here seems to be quite good, and you can't hear any movement in the study.

After about 3 minutes, the old woman walked out with the tray and returned the same way.

Chi Xi and Chen Lang looked at each other, then quietly approached the study. Chi Xi took out a small object from the small pocket on his arm, held it in his hand, then lay on the ground and slowly opened the door of the study.

I held my breath and stared at the screen, afraid to make any noise, which would ruin all my efforts.

The door was pushed open a little, and the sound of voices from inside could be faintly heard, but it was not very clear.

Chi Xi held his breath and paused the action of pushing the door, but the voices inside did not stop.

Chi Xi put his hand on the ground again and opened the door a little bit more imperceptibly.

This time, the gap in the door was about two fingers wide.

Chi Xi was just about to put the things in his hand in, but at this moment, he heard a slight "hush" sound from Chen Lang.

She immediately turned around vigilantly, and saw that Chen Lang had quickly flashed back and gave her a signal.

Chi Xi rolled on the ground and returned to the original corner.

Then the sound of footsteps could be heard.

The two held their breath and leaned out with their cameras.

The camera shook and the old lady appeared again. This time, she was holding a kettle on her tray.

It seems that she was sending water inside.

Sure enough, she staggered to the door of the study, knocked, and went in. This time she didn't have time to close the door.

Then I heard a female voice inside say, "Put down the water and go take a rest! I don't need anything here."

"Yes, Miss!" The old lady responded, but still reminded, "It's late at night, drink less coffee."

Then she walked out.

But she closed the door tightly.

I looked at the scene and couldn't help but sigh. Why did this old lady close the door so carefully?

When her footsteps gradually faded away, the two of them came to the door again. Chi Xi tried it with his hand, but this time, he found that the door was closed tightly. Chi Xi turned half a circle on the spot to express his annoyance.

Chen Lang went back to the same place, checked the situation outside, and kept watch on Chi Xi.

Chi Xi had no choice but to take a deep breath, gently put his hand on the door handle, then bit his lip and gently pressed it down. The door made a "click" sound, the sound was not loud, but it scared me enough to sweat instantly.

Chi Xi did not shrink back, but stood there, put her ear against the door, and listened carefully to the movement inside. After 5 seconds, she continued to press down, and the door latch opened.

She made a naughty gesture and made an OK gesture to Chen Lang.

He just let go of the handle, then lay prone on the ground again, carefully placed his hands on the ground, and gently pushed the door inwards little by little.

This time, she opened it three fingers wide and exhaled. The voice inside came out. It was Rong Yingluo's voice, "...You have been doing this for so many years, and you only tell me this? I know what you said. I want to know what I don't know!"

I listened carefully to what was said inside, and Shen Kuo told Xiao Qiu to turn up the volume.

Xiao Qiu did as he was told.

The next second, Rong Pengcheng's voice became louder, and he only said one sentence, "This is the rule of the Rong family. Each region is independent and reports to Grandpa individually. You know this. This is the authority of the head of the family."

"But I am the head of the family now!" Rong Yingluo's voice was a little angry.
