Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 51 Caught

Shen Lanze left Lord Jiang's mansion and walked aimlessly on the street alone.

At this moment, the streets of the capital are very lively.

There were many pedestrians coming and going, some dignitaries in fancy clothes, some wealthy businessmen and celebrities in casual clothes, some entered the restaurant, and some went to the brothel.

Shen Lanze's downcast eyes moved slightly, and he looked up at the sky.The moon is still so round tonight, but it lacks the brilliance of the stars.

Moreover, there were no clouds to cover it, and the entire night sky looked extraordinarily deep and gloomy, as if it would collapse at any time.

Suddenly a familiar figure in front of him attracted Shen Lanze's attention.

He couldn't help thinking to himself: Why did Xu Beiting appear here at this time?Also sneaking around seems to be afraid of being discovered by others.

This made him feel a little doubtful, and after careful consideration, he finally decided to follow.

Xu Beiting came to Xuening Hall, looked at the closed gate, and came to a corner of the wall.

He was about to climb over the wall, but failed several times. He stood there thinking for a while, and began to dig through the grass to find a place like a dog hole.

Suddenly, a pair of shoes blocked his way.Looking up along the shoes, there was a handsome fair face with a slight smile on his mouth.

I saw Shen Lanze leaning on the wall with his arms folded, his cold gaze made Xu Beiting feel as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and couldn't help shivering.

"Why are you here?" Xu Beiting slowly stood up straight and asked.

Shen Lanze looked at him with great interest, and said in a cold tone: "I should ask you this, right? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"I... I lost something, can't I stay here?" Xu Beiting recalled the past, and swallowed the words again.

No, he can't tell Shen Lanze about Miss Lu. He has to rely on his own ability to rescue Miss Lu. Only in this way can he prove that he is no worse than Shen Lanze.

"What did Nan Zhidu say to you yesterday?" Shen Lanze saw the two of them talking, so he could guess something, and it was nothing more than asking about Xue Ningtang.

Lu Nanzhi is good at everything, but sometimes his temper is too stubborn.

"What did I say to Miss Lu, there should be no need to tell you?" Xu Beiting said bluntly.

Shen Lanze saw the person who turned around but was about to leave, and said again: "Lu Nanzhi is very dangerous now, if you know something, you'd better tell it quickly."

"How could Miss Lu be in danger? Isn't he at home?" Xu Beiting pretended to be ignorant, as if surprised by what he meant.

Shen Lanze stared at his face for a long time before continuing: "She's missing."

"What are you talking about! How could such a good person disappear?" Xu Beiting showed an unbelievable expression.

Shen Lanze looked at him in shock and didn't speak, turned and left.

Xu Beiting looked at the people who had left, and started searching again.

Shen Lanze felt that Xu Beiting seemed to know something, otherwise it wouldn't be just a surprised expression, there should be a trace of worry.

It seems that we will have a good chat with him tomorrow.

Xu Beiting really found a dog hole to get in. Looking at the huge courtyard, he couldn't help sighing. No wonder some people said that the Xuening Hall looked ordinary on the outside, but it was actually worth thousands of dollars inside.

It is heard that Xue Ning Hall is divided into two attics, one is a place to receive female guests, and the other is a room for accommodation.

Xu Beiting crossed and looked at the two paths in front of him, not knowing which way to go.

At this time, a group of maidservants came with their clothes in their hands, scaring Xu Beiting into hiding behind the big tree.

He secretly followed a few servant girls to a courtyard, and after checking that there was no one around, he sneaked in.

Looking inside through the gap in the window, I found a delicate-looking girl sitting in the room.

The young girl was dressed in a blue dress, with picturesque eyebrows and creamy skin, resting her cheeks on her hands and looking at the moonlight outside the window.

"Princess, they have been starving for a whole day, and that girl is very stubborn, she refuses to say anything." The servant girl behind her reported.

Liu Qingyan withdrew her gaze and frowned slightly: "If you starve her for two more days, I won't believe her if she doesn't say anything."

The servant girl said worriedly: "Miss, if the Duke finds out about this, I'm afraid you will be punished again."

Liu Qingyan waved her hand indifferently, "Just don't let my father know."

"But..." The servant girl hesitated to speak.

Liu Qingyan snorted coldly, her eyes flickered fiercely: "It's just a country girl, dealing with her is as easy as crushing an ant to death, even if my father knows it, it doesn't matter, I'm doing it for the good of Xue Ningtang."

Speaking of this, Liu Qingyan's eyes showed a soft look, and in an instant, the eyes became ruthless again.

"If so, what if the girl keeps refusing to say anything?" the servant girl asked again.

Liu Qingyan smiled gently, "I have a hundred ways to make her speak, such as destroying her innocence, or scratching her face."

The servant girl looked at the ruthless person and felt a cold war in her heart. No one knew better than her how ruthless the princess was.

When a servant girl accidentally spilled the tea, the princess made her kneel on the ground with boiling hot water. Finally, the servant girl couldn't hold on and was beaten to death by the princess.

The servant girl suddenly thought of something and then said: "Princess, this servant girl heard that Mr. Shen is not with Miss Ruo, but has entered the capital with a group of fleeing people and lived together."

"A person fleeing famine? But that's right, with his current status, he only deserves to be with those people," Liu Qingyan always hated Shen Lanze's rejection of her, and she couldn't forget it all these years.

She has been looking forward to the day when Shen Lanze can kneel in front of her and regret it.

The night wind blew past, rustling the leaves.

Xu Beiting didn't expect this woman to be so vicious, and was about to continue looking for Lu Nanzhi when he bumped into a maid who was walking towards her with tea.

"Ah! There are thieves!"

The little maid screamed in fright, and the tea in her hand fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

Xu Beiting wanted to escape in a panic, but the door was pushed open, and the maid beside Liu Qingyan flew out, stabbing Xu Beiting with a dagger in her hand.

Xu Beiting quickly dodged, although he avoided the fatal knife, his arm was scratched.

The pain made Xu Beiting frowned, and blood flowed down his arm on the ground.

Liu Qingyan walked out wearing a veil, making it impossible for people to see her true face, but her beautiful eyes revealed a strong killing intent: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"I, I broke in unintentionally, and I couldn't find a way out." Xu Beiting explained tremblingly, his right arm was still bleeding, and now his whole body was weak, and he was almost unable to stand still.

Liu Qingyan sneered, raised her left foot and kicked Xu Beiting.

boom!
Xu Beiting's center of gravity lost his balance, and he fell to the ground, exhorting in pain.

Liu Qingyan stepped on his injured arm again and crushed it fiercely.

"what!!!"

Xu Beiting cried out in pain, he had no strength to resist at all, the pain made him clench his teeth.

"Dare to lie in front of this princess, it seems that you think your life is too long."

This person is obviously lying, Liu Qingyan hates others to lie to her the most.

The servant girl looked at his face and suddenly remembered something, walked up to Liu Qingyan and whispered something in Liu Qingyan's ear.

When Liu Qingyan heard this, a bright smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
