Thinking that the visitor might have bad intentions, Wen Meijiu wanted to leave Prince Wang in the space and go out to deal with it alone.

But after thinking about it, she rejected this decision.

It’s unknown when Prince Wang will wake up. If he wakes up before she comes back, it will be troublesome.

Also, Zhi Zheng personally handed Prince Wang over to her. If Zhi Zheng came back and didn't see Prince Wang, it's hard to say whether he would become suspicious of her again.

To be on the safe side, Wen Meijiu finally decided to take Prince Wang outside with her.

After collecting the things in her hands, she quickly left the space with Prince Wang.

Putting Prince Wang between his parents, Wen Meijiu still felt that it was inappropriate at first glance. Prince Wang's clothes were too eye-catching and totally out of tune with the attire of the family members on the kang.

He quickly took out a set of his father's clothes, regardless of size, and Wen Meijiu stripped Prince Wang of his coat, threw it into the space, and put it on him randomly.

At this time, the people outside obviously couldn't wait any longer and kicked the door again and again, and each kick landed on Wen Meijiu's heart.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper was outside pleading for mercy, fearing that no one would help compensate for the damage to his things.

"Sir, please calm down. I will help you shout. This family must be sleeping too soundly."

"Stop talking nonsense and knock on the door."

"Miss Wen, open the door. There are police investigating a case."

The shopkeeper knocked on the door for the other party, with a much gentler force than before.

Wen Meijiu uttered a sigh, quickly jumped off the kang and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a lot of people rushed in, pushing the warm wine into the corner.

Wen Meijiu could see clearly from behind that the person was the same person he had seen on the street outside Prince Wang's mansion, the Red Guard.

She breathed slightly and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on her back. It was just as she thought. Fortunately, she had made preparations in advance.

Those red-robed guards all looked ferocious, with fatigue and anger on their faces. Compared with the last time, there was a much more sinister aura coming from them.

As soon as they came in, they rushed to the kang, holding a portrait in their hands. They tilted their heads to look at it one by one, not even sparing the youngest Lanling.

"Sir, I didn't lie to you, did I?

This family are all honest people, they are not the fugitives you are looking for."

Fugitive? Wen Meijiu muttered to herself, and unconsciously worried about Prince Wang's identity.

"Why are you sleeping like dead pigs? Who opened the door?"

One of the red-clothed guards noticed something was wrong and turned around to ask the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was also frightened. He turned around in a circle and finally saw the warm wine in the corner. He was overjoyed.

"She, she is Miss Wen."

Everyone turned around and saw that there was another person squeezed in the corner.

Wen Meijiu forced a smile and smiled at them.

"Hello, gentlemen."

"She's so pretty!"

A voice came from among the crowd, deep, long and malicious.

Wen Meijiu knew that someone was doubting her identity. A beautiful woman, who brought her family out to escape famine, and everyone was asleep except her. It looked a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.

Following the source of the sound, a path quickly appeared in the crowd, allowing the man to pass through and come to Wen Meijiu.

Wen Meijiu calmed down, bowed politely to the Zhu Yiwei standing in front of him, and said slowly:

"You are too kind, sir. There are many people who are stronger than me."

The red-clothed guard reached out and pinched Wen Meijiu's chin, pulling him closer to his eyes, staring at Wen Meijiu's face inch by inch, trying to see something from it.

Wen Meijiu didn't give him a chance. Instead, she stared at him with a sullen face and anger in her eyes.

After he finished reading, Wen Meijiu asked coldly:

"Sir, please respect yourself. This is in public."

The red-clothed guard seemed to be intrigued by Wen Meijiu's words. He tightened his grip and suddenly put his mouth close to her cheek.

Subconsciously, Wen Meijiu wanted to take out a dagger and stab it into his chest, but in an instant, she gave up the idea. What if the other party was testing her?

Thinking of this, Wen Meijiu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Sir, our family is weak and small, and we had to rush here yesterday. Please show some mercy."

The shopkeeper looked at Wen Meijiu pitifully and said quickly:

"Sir, her father's legs are disabled, and her brothers and sisters are young. She really depends on this girl for everything."

The other party thought that Wen Meijiu was so scared that she had difficulty breathing. She was just a little girl. He was just overthinking it.

He let go, and with a dangerous smile on his face, he hooked his finger back and said:

"withdraw."

A group of people were about to follow him out, but the guard in red seemed to remember something and immediately stopped where he was.

A large group of people following behind him almost pounced on his back, but fortunately they stopped in time.

"wrong."

He turned around suddenly, pushed through the crowd and ran towards the kang.

"One, two, three, four, five," she turned around, looked in the direction of Wen Meijiu, and shouted, "Why are there six people, boss?"

The shopkeeper was also frightened and hurried over to count them, and found that there were indeed six people.

There were five people registered in this room last night, how come there are six today?

The shopkeeper couldn't think of anything either. He was so scared that his face changed. He quickly looked towards Wen Meijiu for help.

With one more person in the house, how could Wen Meijiu not think of this?

She had already thought it through when she left the space.

Wen Meijiu walked to the shopkeeper calmly, smiled, shook the shopkeeper's hand, patted the back of his hand and said:

"Boss, you forgot, didn't I tell you that my boyfriend had something to do and wouldn't arrive until midnight? Didn't you notice it at night?"

The seemingly gentle girl held the shopkeeper's hand with great strength. Even if the shopkeeper was dumb, he could feel that this was a combination of soft and hard tactics.

The shopkeeper moved his fingers and felt something hard stuffed into his palm. With years of experience, he knew it was silver.

The shopkeeper understood what he meant by putting his hand into his sleeve. Even if he didn't help to smooth things over, he would probably be implicated, after all, this was his territory.

So, he laughed and said:

“Yes, Miss Wen did say this.

It's my fault, sir, I forgot to tell you."

The red-clothed guard was obviously not so easy to appease. His eyes swept across the faces of the many people on the kang again and stopped on Prince Wang's face.

"Bring me the portrait."

He stretched his hand back, and his subordinate quickly handed the portrait to him. The portrait was of Prince Wang.

Wen Meijiu's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward to protect Prince Wang who was lying on the bed, blocking the sight of the red-clothed guard.
