Li Nian stood at the door, staring at them with a puzzled look.
"What brings you here in such a threatening manner? What are you doing here?"
Su Jingming spoke first: "I'm here to look for my sister. Someone said that Xiao Yunchen brought her to your Xiao family's courtyard."
Li Nian glanced at the seven or eight people behind Su Jingming. Some of them had unfriendly expressions, with a half-smile on their lips. Some of them had a leisurely attitude, as if they were enjoying a good show.
It is obvious that these people came prepared.
Li Nian didn't know the specific situation in the house, so he could only try to delay time.
She remembered that when she left the banquet, Xiao Yunchen was still chatting with others.
She opened her hands, clung to the door frame, and raised her head slightly. "What evidence do you have for what you said, Master Su? If my second brother really brings your sister back to the courtyard, I, as the eldest sister-in-law, will definitely beat him up on the spot."
Li Nian straightened his back, trying to look more imposing. "But I was just in the courtyard and didn't see Princess Su."
A girl dressed as a maid stepped forward and said, "I saw with my own eyes that Lord Xiao and Miss Su were walking towards us together."
Li Nian looked at the maid coldly. It was she who said that Her Royal Highness the Princess called her and took her to that strange courtyard.
"Really? You'd better think carefully before you speak. If you lie, can you afford the consequences?"
"Madam!" Su Jingming said coldly, "I respect you as the Crown Prince's wife, so I ask you kindly. If you insist on obstructing me, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Li Nian raised his chin unwillingly, "Mr. Su, what do you mean? I said I haven't seen it, and that's it. Do you still want to force your way in?"
The person behind Su Jingming looked at her and said loudly, "The Crown Prince's wife is really eloquent."
The man turned to Su Jingming and said, "Brother Su, why bother talking to her? Just go in and search. If it's any later, I'm afraid that Commander Su will be completely taken advantage of by Xiao Yunchen."
Li Nian was slightly startled and quickly asked the system: [Where is Sisi?]
System: [She and Xiao Yunchen have both been drugged and are currently working hard in the house to earn health points!]
Li Nian: …
If these people really broke in at that moment, wouldn’t the two of them be seen naked?
We have to delay time and stabilize these people first.
[System, quickly tell Sisi about the situation outside and ask her and Xiao Yunchen to prepare.]
Li Nian steadied her voice and tried to address the group calmly, "Master Su, I understand your anxiety, but please don't be hasty. To barge into the Xiao family compound based on a maid named Jin Ping's one-sided account is a disrespect for the Xiao family. If word gets out, it won't benefit your sister's reputation."
"Reputation?" Su Jingming sneered, a hint of sinisterness flashing in his eyes. "My sister's innocence is the most important thing. What is your intention in stopping her like this?"
He raised his voice and shouted, "I'm asking you again, will you give in or not?!"
Li Nian was about to speak when he saw that they were trying to force their way in.
Suddenly, Xiao Yunchen's slightly hoarse voice came from behind him: "Brother Su, why did you bring so many people to my yard?"
Li Nian's heart suddenly relaxed. He loosened his hands that were clinging to the door frame and turned around to retreat into the yard.
At the doorway of the house, Xiao Yunchen, dressed in an official robe, stood upright. His jade-like face still had a faint pink tint that had not yet faded, and his lips were bright red.
With such a handsome appearance, everyone present could tell at a glance what kind of erotic affair he had just been engaged in.
Su Jingming shouted sternly: "Xiao Yunchen! Hand over my sister!"
Xiao Yunchen walked over slowly while tidying up his untidy clothes. His movements were elegant and calm, without any panic or nervousness.
"Brother Su, this is very strange. How would I know where your sister is?"
Su Jingming frowned and snorted in his heart.
He wanted to see how this guy would argue after being caught red-handed!
Su Jingming raised his foot and was about to rush into the house.
Xiao Yunchen's face darkened and he stretched out his hand to block it.
"Brother Su, don't go too far. My wife is sleeping in the room. It's really inappropriate for you to barge in like this."
"Mr. Su, are you looking for me?" The woman's charming voice sounded.
Li Nian raised her eyes to look at Li Sisi who was standing at the door. She saw her half leaning against the door frame, her hair loosely tied in a bun, a few strands of hair hanging down from her forehead, and the hair on her right collarbone twirled between her two delicate fingers.
Her tone was as charming as a seductive demon: "What do you want from me? To chat or to talk about anything? Or do you want to adopt me as your godsister? Otherwise, how could you be looking for a sister and find yourself in my husband's room?"
Li Nian: …
Wow, she even got to act.
Your throat is about to smoke, right?
Xiao Yunchen's face darkened and he quickly walked over and pulled the man into the house.
Li Sisi's unconvinced voice rang out: "What are you doing?! I'm helping you clear your name! Otherwise, he'll misunderstand that you're hooking up with his sister!"
Xiao Yunchen coaxed softly, "I, your husband, will take care of this matter myself. Madam, please rest in the house first."
Li Sisi snorted softly.
Then, Xiao Yunchen opened the door again, walked out, and closed the door again.
Su Jingming didn't expect that Li Sisi was here too.
According to the plan, Li Sisi should be in another courtyard!
There, they prepared five strong men!
Now that Li Sisi is here, could it be that the person in that courtyard is...
Thinking of this, Su Jingming didn't care about anything else and walked out of the yard.
Li Nian suddenly remembered the sound she heard in that yard.
At that time, I just felt that the voice sounded a little familiar. Could it be that the woman was Su Muyan?
She hurriedly asked Xiao Yunchen, "Is Princess Su's cousin also in this team?"
"Yes, why do you ask that?"
After hearing this, Li Nian became more certain of his guess.
"I think I know where Su Muyan is." She explained to Xiao Yunchen in detail what she had encountered.
Xiao Yunchen looked grim.
His tone was gloomy: "This Su family is really a thief with unyielding intentions."
It was the first time that Li Nian saw Xiao Yunchen with such a gloomy expression, and he became even more certain that this guy was far from being the upright and dignified gentleman in the original book.
Seeing that Xiao Yunchen's face was still flushed, Li Nian hurriedly said, "Go back to the house quickly."
Xiao Yunchen: ...
He really needed to go back to the house.
Li Nian returned to his room and sighed helplessly and deeply.
This capital city is simply a den of dragons and tigers, ahhhh——
I really want to find Xiao Yunyu!
Then he thought that Su Muyan had reaped what she had sown this time and could only marry her cousin.
I don’t know if the children they give birth to will be deformed?
Marriage between close relatives...
Judging from their conversation at that time, it seemed like her cousin had liked her for a long time, right?
Childhood sweethearts, secret love come true?
Hehe, she can follow the relationship progress of those two people with Sisi.
Well...how about writing a storybook based on their prototypes, that would be pretty exciting too!
Suddenly she remembered the last time Xiao Yunyu wrote to her asking her to take charge of the accounts.
I held my forehead with my hand because of the headache.
Xiao Yunyu is busy fighting now, so she can only take care of the finances for him temporarily.
Alas! Some are busy.
