Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Seeing his cowardly look, the people outside the door showed disdain in their eyes.

"We are here to search various courtyards on the orders of the city lord, and we also ask the people in the courtyards to cooperate."

Mu Qing pretended to smile flatteringly, and then felt a little embarrassed: "This...this, gentlemen, our wife is not in good health, you see..."

One of the leading warriors raised his voice and said, "What? Do you still want to disobey me?"

Mu Qing hurriedly nodded and bowed, and said with a flattering face: "Don't you dare! Please, please!"

After Mu Qing finished speaking, he stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.

The few people snorted coldly before stepping into the courtyard.

When Mu Qing saw several people entering the courtyard, a cold light flashed through his dark eyes. He tried his best to lower his murderous intent and stepped forward with a smile to lead the way for them.

At this time, Mo Xue had already lit all the lanterns in the courtyard, while Lu Yuan was waiting in the courtyard holding a pale and weak-looking Gu Panxia.

After the warriors came in, they first looked at Lu Yuan and Gu Panxia up and down, and then turned to look at Mo Xue.

Gu Panxia was supported by Lu Yuan, covering her lips with a handkerchief and coughing lightly from time to time.

She was wrapped in a thick cloak, her face was pale, and she looked like she was about to die soon.

"You guys came here late at night, what's the matter?"

Lu Yuan looked at those people in panic, patting Gu Panxia's back from time to time.

"Recently, thieves have sneaked into Nancheng. We have been ordered by the city lord to search various courtyards and arrest the thieves. Have any of you seen the person in this painting?"

A strong man opened the scroll in his hand and put it in front of several people.

Several people came forward and seemed to watch it seriously for a long time before shaking their heads.

"Gentlemen, we have never seen these thieves before."

"Never seen it?" The man holding the scroll frowned, but looked at the people who had entered the house to search. When they saw them coming out, they shook their heads, and then put away the scroll.

"Since you haven't seen it, forget it. If you do, remember to report it, and you will be rewarded in due time."

Several people nodded in fear, and Lu Yuan nodded even more: "Don't worry, gentlemen, if we see this thief, we will definitely report it to you."

The man was very satisfied to see that they were sincere and a little afraid of them.

He turned around and walked out of the courtyard with a few people. After Mu Qinggong sent a few people away, he didn't lock the door until they reached the next courtyard.

“Pfft——”

Mo Xue was the first to burst out laughing.

Gu Panxia and Lu Yuan also looked at each other and smiled.

She stretched out her hand to push Lu Yuan and chuckled softly, "I didn't expect that your master and servant have such acting skills."

Mu Qing, who had just returned, coughed slightly in embarrassment when he heard this.

Lu Yuan stared at her steadily, and said with a smile: "My wife's acting skills are not bad. She is pretending to be sick. If I hadn't known about it in advance, I would have really thought that she was seriously ill."

The smile on Gu Panxia's lips froze, and she snorted lightly: "That's right, don't even look at where this girl is from."

Although it has been a long time since she came to this world, she is still a modern person. Although she is not an actress, this little drama is not a problem for her.

"Okay, I guess no one will bother me anymore, so you can go back to your house and rest."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking to Mo Xue and Mu Qing, he took the lead back to the house with Gu Panxia in his arms.

"Miss Mo, please rest early!"

Mu Qing bowed to Mo Xue, then turned and returned to his room.

Mo Xue watched him enter the house, curled her lips, and then returned to her house.
