Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 305 - 303

Chapter 305: Chapter 303

Xiao’er was startled, who could approach her so stealthily without making any noise!

She opened her mouth to bite the person’s hand and simultaneously thrust her elbow backwards.

"Don’t be afraid, it’s me!" A deep and slightly magnetic voice sounded from behind her.

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao’er sighed in relief.

Shangguan Xuanyi withdrew his hand that covered Xiao’er’s mouth, but his other hand pulled her close, not letting go.

Xiao’er turned her head and glared at him fiercely with a stare that could kill, "Didn’t you know that scaring people can make them drop dead from fear?"

Especially since she was currently spying on someone, which wasn’t completely honest business, she felt guilty.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were so timid." Shangguan Xuanyi chuckled quietly.

This girl always boldly stirs up trouble, recklessly jumping into everything – it’s good for her to learn fear for once.

Xiao’er rolled her eyes at him: "So now it’s my fault for being timid?"

"It’s good you know! Didn’t you say that curiosity could kill a cat? I know you’re pretty skilled, but there are many in the world who are more skillful than you." Shangguan Xuanyi reminded her earnestly, nodding his head.

Upon hearing this, Xiao’er fell silent. She was indeed too overconfident; there really are others better than her.

She nodded and agreed, "I understand, I’ll be more cautious next time."

This warning was indeed timely. Even though she possessed special skills and had Bai Tian and the others on standby, such skills were not omnipotent. Bai Tian as well as the others had their own matters to attend, so she still needed to make herself stronger.

It seemed that she needed to train herself in internal energy and lightness skills.

A critical moment shouldn’t be missed – she would never be a burden to anyone!

What she wanted was not protection, but to fight shoulder to shoulder!

Xiao’er recalled her previous suspicions and said in surprise: "If you’re here, what is Li Yunning doing in the guest house? Wasn’t she supposed to seduce you?"

After hearing her words, dark clouds covered Shangguan Xuanyi’s face, even the eve of a tornado didn’t look this terrifying!

Seducing him? Where did she learn this one!

"Where did you learn such obscene language?" Shangguan Xuanyi’s voice sounded cold and desolate.

"That’s not important now, Li Yunning is up to something, we have to find out what she’s planning." Seeing that he was about to throw a tantrum, Xiao’er quickly changed the subject.

She tried to escape from the rockery and follow, but she was still held by him. Only then did Xiao’er realize how close they were standing, her face unconsciously turned red, and he knew it too.

"Don’t change the topic! Where did you learn such language?" What is of utmost priority

"Brother Shangguan, release me first." The most important thing right now was for him to let her go.

"Where did you learn it?" Shangguan Xuanyi didn’t budge, he stubbornly demanded an answer.

"Jin Ping Mei, Chapter 13. Haven’t you read it? I can lend it to you, you know nothing about it!" Xiao’er admitted defeat. Alright, being hugged by a handsome guy was also a kind of pleasure, she should treasure it, let him be as he is.

But it was necessary to irritate him with words!

Shangguan Xuanyi was staggered by her words. How dare she read such worthless books? And even dared to lend him one! How audacious she was!

"Did you finish it all? Hmm?"

"Of course!" Xiao’er responded in a very annoying manner. "We should go see what Li Yunning is up to."

"In the future, you are not allowed to read such books!" Shangguan Xuanyi pointed a finger at her head and gave her a light tap as a warning.

"Ah!" Xiao’er immediately jumped up, not from pain, but from surprise!

Fortunately, Shangguan Xuanyi tightened his grip on her, otherwise her head would have collided with the ceiling.

This was the first time she had been hit in her life!

"Brother Shangguan, how can you hit me!"

"It serves you right for reading such inappropriate books! Let’s see if you dare to read them again!" She won’t learn a lesson if she doesn’t get scolded!

And to call this a slap? He even found it hard to exert his strength!

"I won’t read them again!" Xiao’er sincerely promised.

"Can we go and see what Li Yunning is up to?" She had read everything that she’s got and won’t read again; it’s not as if she had nothing to do!

Xiao’er was anxious in her heart, and she felt that there was something going on with Li Yunning!

It was just that Shangguan Xuanyi was not on the same wavelength as herself at this time. She really wanted to tune in to the frequency!

After hearing her promise, Shangguan Xuanyi finally said: "No hurry, let’s wait a bit more."

"Wait for what? Do you know what Li Yunning wants to do? Did she calculate against you and you saw through it, and now you’re calculating against her?"

"Yeah, wait till the situation becomes irreversible." Shangguan Xuanyi didn’t want to let Xiao’er out of his arms. In addition, he didn’t want her to see things that she shouldn’t see.

Xiao’er looked forward to the upcoming show even more.

"Someone’s coming." Shangguan Xuanyi pulled Xiao’er into a cave in the rockery.

"Did Xiao’er call me over for something?"

"I am not sure, Young Mistress Rui’an didn’t say."

"Then hurry up! Xiao’er doesn’t like to be kept waiting!" Mrs. Liu couldn’t think of any reason why Xiao’er would call for her after using the restroom.

Could it be... Xiao’er was at that age, she might be getting her first period. Perhaps she found blood on her pants and didn’t know what to do.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu quickened her pace as if her feet were taking wind.

After the two left, Shangguan Xuanyi pulled Xiao’er out.

Xiao’er was going to go out and stop Mrs. Liu just now. However, Shangguan Xuanyi shook his head at her.

"Let’s go, check it out."

Xiao’er figured out that the maid was there to catch Mrs. Liu’s adultery. Shangguan Xuanyi must have had the same thought.

After all, Li Yunning was calculating against him. Although she didn’t dare make a big deal out of it, the people in Marquis Shengping’s mansion had to know!

The two went to the guesthouse, but did not find Mrs. Liu catching anyone in the act.

All the doors were closed.

"Darn it! My mom has fallen into a trap!" Xiao’er was now genuinely panicked! She was afraid that Mrs. Liu had been taken advantage of!

The mastermind was probably on her way there now with reinforcements.

With time pressing on, whether Mrs. Liu was taken advantage of or not, once she was seen in the same room with another man, that would already be a scandal that she couldn’t wash clean even by jumping into the Pacific Ocean!

A group of chattering women’s voices was getting closer.

She had to find her quickly!

Xiao’er approached the nearest room, wanting to see if Mrs. Liu was in there.

"Not this one." Shangguan Xuanyi closed his eyes and tried to hear if there was any noise.

Xiao’er quickly moved to the second room, opened the door, and found nobody!

Third room, nobody!

Fourth room, nobody!

...

Suddenly, she saw a faint shine at the entrance of the middle room out of the corner of her eye.

At the same time, Shangguan Xuanyi also spoke: "The middle one!"

A group of people were already at the front gate.

Both of them ran over at the same time. Shangguan Xuanyi kicked open the door.

The two of them quickly entered, with Shangguan Xuanyi closing the door behind them.

At the same time, a line of people turned into the guest house.
