Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Shen Liu didn't say anything, but stretched out his arm and happened to grab Xiaolan's hand. Xiaolan was a little surprised and looked at him speechlessly.

At this time, she could already hear the sound of the door opening outside. Xiao Lan was slightly startled, then she quickly broke free from Shen Liu's hand, then she quickly ran to the door and left the room.

Before leaving, Xiao Lan took a special look back and saw Shen Liu still standing there in a daze, not moving at all.

Xiao Lan knew that it was useless to urge Shen Liu any further. She could only take things one step at a time. Xiao Lan thought to herself that if Shen Liu just walked out of the inner room like this, she would never forgive him in her life.

Two servants and two maids were standing outside the door, and the maids were holding tea and fruit. The four were surprised to see Xiao Lan in the room.

When facing Xiao Lan, several people acted as if they were facing a great enemy. The two little girls were the smartest. When they saw that things were beyond their expectations, they wanted to take the tea tray and leave.

Xiao Lan quickly stopped them and knocked over the tea tray they were holding. "What are you still standing there for? Go and invite Sixth Master, Third Madam and the others over!" Xiao Lan angrily asked, "Is this how you, the Shen family, entertain guests? You tricked the guests into this haunted house and locked them up?"

Xiao Lan spoke with confidence and without any sense of guilt, which stunned the two little girls. They quietly stepped aside, and the two servants seemed to be frightened by Xiao Lan's bold words.

Seeing this, Xiao Lan wanted to walk out openly, but the two servants reacted at this time and stretched out their hands to block Xiao Lan's way. "Girl, you can't leave yet."

"Why are you stopping me?" Xiao Lan asked.

"...This is where the Sixth Master handles military affairs...The Sixth Master's rules are that anyone who dares to trespass here...will be killed without mercy!"

It seems that things are worse than she thought. Shen Liu's personal maid wants to kill her. But why? She has no hatred or resentment towards this little girl, and she doesn't even know her... In this situation, Xiao Lan can only hope that Shen Liu will come to save her. Before leaving just now, Xiao Lan specifically told Shen Liu that he... should come to save her...

The two servants stopped Xiao Lan from leaving. If it was someone else, the servants would not be polite and would tie her up first. However, from Xiao Lan's behavior, she seemed to be very calm and not sneaky, and she was very imposing... All these factors made the two servants afraid to act rashly, and one of them turned around and asked the two girls to report the news.

"She sneaked into Sixth Master's study. Shouldn't she be tied up first?" a little girl said bravely.

Another little girl also quickly echoed.

The two servants were somewhat moved by what the two little girls said, and their eyes gradually began to turn unfriendly when they looked at Xiao Lan.

"I am a distinguished guest in your house, how dare you disrespect me!" Xiao Lan shouted coldly. If she was really tied up by two servants, even if she had nothing to do with the final result, she would still be extremely embarrassed.

Why hasn't Shen Liu come yet? Such a long time has passed, he won't not come...

"Stop!" At some point, Shen Liu appeared on the path on the other side of the rockery. Behind him were several young counselors. Xiao Lan knew one of them. He Ming was in charge of the serious matter.

It seems that there is indeed a tomb passage in the inner room. Shen Liu finally came to rescue her. Xiao Lan thought that he came just in time.

At this time, Shen Liu and his men slowly walked over.

"Sixth Master," the two servants and two little girls hurriedly saluted Shen Liu, and one of the servants came to report, "... this girl, she... she broke into your study without permission, and was discovered by us..."

The two servants did not know Xiao Lan. Just now, they saw that Xiao Lan was dressed extremely luxuriously and behaved in a graceful manner, so they did not dare to look down on her. Now, after hearing Shen Liu's words, they dared not neglect her even more.

"Is this how you treat our guests? Who said you want to tie up Miss Xiaolan?" Shen Liu asked.

The two little girls and two servants knelt down in a hurry, not daring to look up or speak. The two little girls who had threatened to tie Xiao Lan up were even more silent.

Shen Liu saw two servants and two little girls pacing back and forth, and then slowly said to Xiao Lan, "Xiao Lan, tell me what's going on."

After hearing what Shen Liu said, Xiao Lan's heart gradually calmed down. Shen Liu finally obeyed her wishes and pretended to have just arrived, instead of having seen her in the study just now. "I don't know what's going on..."

Xiao Lan then recounted her experience in detail.

"That little girl pushed me in the door, locked it and ran away. I called for a long time but no one answered. I was just thinking of taking a break before calling for more help when someone came..." At this time, Xiao Lan pointed her finger at the four people kneeling on the ground, "It was them. They opened the door and said I broke into the study without permission. They also said it was a capital crime and they would catch me and kill me immediately."

In the process of narration, Xiao Lan naturally ignored the fact that she had married a concubine, and she insisted that she had been staying in front of the window. By saying this, she naturally ruled out the possibility that she had sneaked a peek at the letter on the desk, and of course she could not have foreseen Shen Liu.

Of course, there were some flaws in what she said, such as when the four people opened the door, they saw that she was not in front of the window at that time, but are these important? Xiao Lan believed that under this situation, these four people would definitely not have the courage to accuse her or anything.

At this time, Third Grandma and a few maids also rushed over. Seeing that Xiaolan was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just don't understand. My two girls are obviously fine. Why would you say they fell off the rockery?" Xiao Lan pretended to be confused.

"Third brother, what's the story behind that little girl Xiaolan was talking about?" asked the third grandmother of the Shen family.

"Cai Yi? Is there any evidence that what you said is true?" Shen Liu asked Xiao Lan. At this moment, Xiao Lan had completely lost the aggressiveness she had just shown in the study. Could it be because she was in front of others?
