The faces of everyone changed dramatically!
Only the little Bama pig, nibbling at Ye Han’s neck, was imrsed in the delight, oblivious to the footsteps outside.
Fei’er turned pale with fear. Her face was filled with panic!
She instinctively grabbed Su Pan’er’s hand.
The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, almost at the doorstep!
Su Pan’er quickly scanned the furnishings in the house - a bed, a table, a few chairs, a few winnowing baskets, and wicker baskets filled with herbs. Where could they hide?
"Sister Pan’er..."
Not only was Fei’er anxious, but Ke’er also frequently looked at the house entrance, anxiously whispering.
"Ke’er, cry out loud. Hurry!"
Su Pan’er hurriedly whispered into Ke’er’s ear, grabbed Fei’er without thinking, picked her up and tossed her next to Ye Han, quickly covering them with a quilt.
Almost imdiately, the bamboo door was kicked open from the outside!
Several soldiers rushed in.
In the house, everyone seed to be imrsed in sorrow. The young man was lying on the head of the bed with a look of grief, and the lady doctor seed to be comforting him. The little boy was wiping his tears and crying loudly.
"Uncle! I want my uncle, woo woo woo..."
Had the person already died?
They looked at each other.
Then they shouted, "What’s going on? Is soone dead?"
"Nonsense! You’re talking nonsense, my dad is not dead, my dad is not dead! You’re talking nonsense..."
Qin Yi, who was lying on the head of the bed, suddenly jumped up and was about to rush at the n at the door.
"Stop it! Your dad is still breathing, huh? Stop making a fuss, those are officials, co back..."
Su Pan’er struggled to hold Qin Yi’s arm and kept nodding and bowing to the soldiers: "Gentlen and officials, don’t take it to heart. The elder is seriously ill, and you still ntioned death, so... Gentlen and officials, please forgive us, please forgive us!"
"You still dare to speak! It’s all because you, the so-called doctor, are incapable. Otherwise, my dad wouldn’t... I am going to fight you!"
Qin Yi suddenly burst out and threw a punch at Su Pan’er, hitting her shoulder.
"Oh! I tried to save people out of kindness, and you dare to hit ? Fine! I will beat the hell out of you..."
Su Pan’er didn’t back down either, and the two of them imdiately started fighting.
Ke’er next to them started crying even louder.
The soldiers who had rushed into the house looked at each other, apparently not expecting such a scene.
"What’s all the noise about? What’s the commotion? If Lord Yan cos, you guys will get your just deserts!"
After watching for a while, reviewing all the details of the scene, they swaggered out.
As soon as they left, Qin Yi and Su Pan’er, who were originally "passionately" fighting, imdiately stopped. Su Pan’er was still grumbling, "You wait, if you don’t pay back today, I will make you pay..."
Ke’er next to them gradually put down her hand, still yelling dryly, constantly peeking out of the door.
The door, kicked open by the soldiers earlier, was left with a big hole, through which the movents of the tents outside could still be vaguely seen.
Qin Yi quickly lifted the quilt, revealing Fei’er who was hidden beneath.
Fei’er lay sideways on the bed, motionless.
"Fei’er, Fei’er!"
Su Pan’er called out to her twice persistently, but Fei’er didn’t respond.
Had she been suffocated?
All three of them widened their eyes, and an unsettling thought kept flashing in their minds. Su Pan’er extended her trembling hand, slowly approaching Fei’er’s nostrils, and then finally exhaled a long breath!
"It’s okay, she just fell asleep due to exhaustion. This child really..."
The scene was so tense, yet she managed to fall asleep. She must have been exhausted!
At this mont, Ye Han slowly opened his eyes.
Ye Han was clearly aware of everything that had happened earlier. Although he couldn’t move, his consciousness and thinking were clear. Even though he woke up, he didn’t make a sound.
Qin Yi found himself awake, and gently tugged at the corner of Su Pan’er’s clothes.
Su Pan’er quickly realized the situation, and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She continued to mutter curses under her breath, letting the people outside the door hear, the words never ceasing.
As lively as it was here, it was even more so elsewhere.
Su Sikong and the village chief were accompanying a group of officials in ordinary clothes.
Despite not wearing their official uniforms, their stride and deanor revealed their exceptional status.
These people were searching for soone much more carefully than others, not willing to overlook even the smallest clue.
As night fell, the man leading them, a man with a stern countenance, looked increasingly displeased. After hearing that the soldiers were setting up camp behind the village, he, along with a few others, were welcod into the Su Family residence, where they were properly settled by Su Sikong and his companions.
Su Sikong wore a broad smile, flattering and fawning.
Networking among them.
The stern-faced man, who hadn’t spoken a word, impatiently interrupted him.
"I hear your wife is of unparalleled beauty, a real stunner. Now that we are idle, why not invite her to et us?" he suggested.
Su Sikong felt a chill in his heart!
This was not good!
These people had co from the Capital City, and had never t Yue’er, so how could they know about her? And how could they know about her beauty? Who could be behind this?
For a mont, his mind raced with countless thoughts.
While anxious, he managed to maintain a composed face, his smile only growing wider!
"My daughter is of average appearance, surely she would only disappoint you. There are dozens of beautiful won waiting outside the door at your disposal. Sir, what do you think..." he said.
His words imdiately made so of the people in the room stir with interest.
The stern-faced man’s eyebrows, however, furrowed even deeper.
He seed unimpressed, but responded, "Since it’s a gesture from Deputy County Magistrate Su, let them co in."
Su Sikong visibly relaxed, and swiftly exited the room, returning shortly with a group of garishly made-up won who naturally snuggled into the arms of the n in the room.
He had hired these won at a high price. Not only were they quite attractive, but they were also particularly good at reading moods and flirting.
They quickly shed with most of the people there.
This should solve the problem.
Su Sikong wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead.
Only the stern-faced man remained grim, not saying a word. His mood seed to affect those around him, making the party less enjoyable.
Just as Su Sikong was feeling as if the air had beco stifling, there was a knock on the door.
"Enough!"
The stern-faced man glowered, "Don’t forget why we are here. Once we finish our task, what kind of beauty can’t we have? Co in."
His words imdiately silenced the room, the laughter ceasing abruptly.
The door was pushed open, and the commanding officer and two deputy commanding officers walked in.
"All of you, leave!"
The stern-faced man waved at the girls. The girls turned their heads towards Su Sikong, who gave a nod. The won then filed out of the room.
"You leave too!"
The stern-faced man glanced at Su Sikong.
Su Sikong quickly nodded and bowed as he withdrew.
As soon as he stepped out, he found himself surrounded by the girls.
"Lord Su, Lord Su..."
"Lord Su, what shall we do now!"
"Lord Su, it’s not that we didn’t try our best, you saw..."
