As Lord Pei spoke, he walked towards the inner room as if he was being led by Master Ji.

Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Master Ji had to come in and shouted to the inner room: "Xiao Jing! Are you there? Come out quickly, Lord Pei is here, come out and greet him."

This is a cylindrical room with a partition, and there is a large screen separating it from the couch in the inner room.

You could vaguely see inside, and at this time the adult outside could see the person inside stood up and walked out.

When the little girl came out and saw everyone, she immediately looked scared.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaojing, don't be afraid!"

Master Ji hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Qin Qiong: "This is Lord Pei from Beijing, a guest in our house. He has official business and was afraid that bad guys had broken into our house. So he came in to take a look. It's okay, don't be afraid."

At the same time, he blocked Lord Pei's gaze with his body, looked directly at Qin Qiong, frowned slightly, and tried to get some answers from Qin Qiong's expression.

But before Qin Qiong could figure out how to express his feelings, Lord Pei had already turned to their side.

She said to Qin Qiong in a voice that sounded apologetic, "Miss, I'm sorry to frighten you. Have you been alone in the room this whole time?"

"Ling'er went to the kitchen to help me cook something." Qin Qiong lowered his head and said softly, "Uncle, is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing serious. Just a few wanted criminals escaped from the prison. So, we are looking for them...Miss, have you been staying in the room all the time? Have you never gone out?" Lord Pei answered Qin Qiong without waiting for Master Ji to speak.

"Fugitive! Oh my God! How scary!... But why did he come to our house?"

Qin Qiong hurriedly said to Uncle Ji: "Uncle! Ah Fen and the others are still in the Buddhist temple, go and check them out quickly, don't scare them."

"Miss, don't worry. We have been there. Both young ladies in the mansion are safe. The bandits always hide everywhere and can get into any place. So, we are looking around the mansion, fearing that someone in the mansion might be hurt. Miss, is it convenient for you..."

The man still seemed to answer kindly.

"You mean the fugitive might have run into the backyard! Oh my God! I was just taking a shower...Oh! No"

Qin Qiong took a step back and covered his mouth as if he had said something wrong.

After hearing this, the two grown men were a little hesitant.

"Then search it quickly. I have been in this room with Ling'er since I got up this morning. I ate and took a shower... Then I got hungry again, so I asked Ling'er to go to the kitchen to make snacks and sugar water for me. I have been sitting in the inner room the whole time and have not left."

Qin Qiong said in a very realistic and fearful tone: "Look quickly, don't scare me, if there is another person in the room... Oh my God! Uncle, look quickly, I'm scared to death!"

At the same time, Qin Qiong shouted for Master Ji to find it, but he held Master Ji tightly and refused to let go. Master Ji couldn't leave, so he looked at Master Pei apologetically and asked him to check it himself.

"Don't be afraid, Miss. I'll help you take a look." Lord Pei said, and he really walked towards the bathroom inside.

"Yes, yes, take a look at them all, take a closer look, and also under the bed..."

"I have to check the box too. I haven't been back for two years..."

"Over there, that closet over there..."

"Oh, and look outside the window! Take a look outside the window too."

"Inside, there is also a window inside..."

Lord Pei originally wanted to take a look at the inner room. If a living person was hiding, it would be easy to find him.

But as soon as I walked into the inner room, the young lady said it was under the bed. When I thought about it, it made sense. Someone could hide under the bed. Although it seemed unlikely, I bent down and took a look under the bed.

Come together, the little girl called the box again. When she thought about it, it made sense. The box was a possibility, so she opened two large boxes on the pit at the foot of the house.

Just after I finished watching, someone called out "closet" again. I thought, yeah. The closet is the place where you can hide.

After searching all these places, the little girl seemed to remember something and called out to the window again.

At this time, he no longer had any interest, but he still opened them one by one to take a look, and then closed them again.

The little girl shouted again that there was a window inside, and he remembered that he had not yet looked into the clean room inside. He walked over, opened the window and looked inside, then nodded to the little girl to indicate that everything was fine.

I looked around the room again. The bathtub had just been used, and there were water stains all around. A woman's long gown was spread out on top of the tub, still wet, and dripping with water as it dried.

The clean room was not big to begin with, so he could see everything at a glance. He walked around for quite a while and actually felt a little tired.

He smiled and comforted the little girl who was holding Master Ji and seemed still scared: "It's okay, I've checked. There is no outsider in this room. Close the door and don't come out... But it's better to be careful and don't go out these few days."

"Okay, okay... But, will it run to the small house where firewood is stored at the back? I remember when we played hide-and-seek before, I hid there and was never found..." Qin Qiong said in a low voice.

"Master Ji? That is..."

"Oh, this is a small row house at the back for storing sundries. However, it is next to the back wall of the outer wing, and no one usually goes there. If Xiao Jing hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought of coming to this place... I, I'll take you there to have a look, please!"

Master Ji quickly straightened his clothes and bowed, then patted Qin Qiong gently on the shoulder and went out with the adult.

Qin Qiong watched them go out and closed the door before returning to the clean room in the inner room.

At this moment, Yang Sanzheng had a look of enduring humiliation and bearing a heavy burden on his face. He lifted the wet clothes covering him and the edge of the bathtub, climbed out of the bathtub, and shook off the water stains on his sleeves vigorously.

Qin Qiong ignored him, turned back to the living room, sat down and sipped his tea.

Yang San followed him out. Seeing Qin Qiong sitting in the host seat on the left, he became even angrier.

But then he remembered that he was the owner of the house, so he sat down next to him with a grumble. He picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup, and drank it in one gulp.

After that, neither of them spoke and just sat there.

Qin Qiong tilted his head and listened to the noise outside. Yang San glared at Qin Qiong every three seconds, looking at him sulking.

The noise outside gradually died down. After a while, a woman came from outside the door with a lunch box to greet me.

Qin Qiong answered, walked to the door to take it, and asked the old woman if she knew where Ling'er had gone. The old woman said that Ling'er had gone to the warehouse with a few women.

The government is conducting an inspection today. The freight team and warehouse are all under inspection, and no one can leave. I had no choice but to go home to deliver food.

Qin Qiong nodded to show that she understood. She returned to the room, took out the food from the lunch box, divided it into two portions, placed it on the table, and started to eat.

Yang San was obviously angered by her action. He pointed at her and seemed to be so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"You, how could you do this! Do you know that you are...very rude, and shameless, and..."

"If you dare say another word, I will strip you and throw you out," Qin Qiong shouted without even raising his head.

"..."

Yang San looked at her with wide eyes, having never expected that she would speak to him like this.

"Eat! My second uncle asked me to take care of you. I can't let you starve. Eat quickly!"

Yang San scared her at first, but maybe she adjusted her mindset immediately. She was also hungry, so she really sat down, picked up the bowl and started eating.

After eating for a while, he suddenly remembered something and said angrily to Qin Qiong in a low voice: "You still know that your second uncle asked you to serve me, and you dare to be so rude. Do you know that I am..."

"It's taking care of! Not serving! Get it clear! It's you who is hiding from the government, not me!" Qin Qiong interrupted him directly.

"You are eating my food, drinking my tea, and being protected by me. I am your savior. As a person who has been rescued, you must be aware of the need to be a rescued person. Understand!"

“……”Yang San.

Qin Qiong looked at Yang San and said, "A normal person should be grateful to the benefactor who saved him. He should always remember the kindness he showed you. Whenever he has the chance, he should think about how to repay him. He should be respectful to his benefactor every second, not only in his heart, but also in his words, actions and in his future interactions. He should always be humble and grateful, and have the determination and philosophy to live by himself if he cannot be grateful."

"Do you understand?!".
