Chapter 23 Trespassing

Sun Lurong became slightly alarmed: "What? Is there no such thing?"

Sheng Yun paused for a moment, then immediately changed her tune: "Ah, yes~ I'll go to the teahouse right away!"

Having said that, he quickly urged the coachman to turn around.

Inside the carriage, Sheng Yun patted her chest, thinking how close she had come to disaster! This was the first time Shu Wan had used her as a cover. If she had been exposed, she would have truly let down the Wei family after using Shu Wan as a cover for the past two years.

The farm was cramped, so Wei Shuwan ordered the carriage to stop at the entrance of the farm and took only Ziqiao and Miaoxiang to her benefactor's farmhouse.

The farmhouse gate remained tightly shut, the chains still in place as when she last visited.

Wei Shuwan, holding the cold iron chain, asked, "Is there any way to open it?"

"Yes!" Zi Qiao said confidently, then took a slender hairpin from her hair and squatted down to examine the lock.

However, after fiddling with it for a long time, with a thin layer of sweat beading on her forehead, Zi Qiao still couldn't open the lock.

She stood up and shook her head: "Miss, this lock is not an ordinary lock; it is not easy to open."

Even though this path was blocked, Wei Shuwan was not in a hurry to give up. She continued to wander around the perimeter of the farmhouse and soon discovered that the window at the back was also a breakthrough point.

The window wasn't large; a grown man wouldn't be able to climb in, but for someone of her size, it shouldn't be difficult. Furthermore, her training in soft dance in Jiangzuo gave her even more confidence.

"You two, lend me your shoulders!"

Zi Qiao knew what she was going to do. She looked at the window and said, "Miss, why don't I go in first and help you from inside?"

Wei Shuwan thought that Zi Qiao had some martial arts skills, so she nodded and allowed her to go first. Miao Xiang squatted down at the base of the wall, and Zi Qiao easily jumped through the window by simply using her shoulder for leverage.

Wei Shuwan then waited for Zi Qiao's response, but after waiting for a while, she didn't hear any movement from inside, so she could only call out softly, "Zi Qiao?"

There has still been no response.
