The carriage finally arrived at the city gate.
The Saint Kingâs aura in Yu Wanâs body was temporarily hidden. The guards guarding tne City (lid not notice anytmng, Dut even so, tne guaras or tne Sorcerer Clan were much stricter than before.
A guard blocked the carriageâs path. âWhoâs sitting inside?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Second Madam lifted the curtain and looked at the guard angrily. âYou donât even recognize the Wen Manorâs carriage?â
The guard was stunned. He was in a hurry to stop the carriage and really didnât notice the emblem on the carriage. He retreated to confirm and hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed. âSo itâs Mrs. Wen. I was careless. Please donât take offense.â
âIâm going out of town.â
âUhâ¦â The guard looked at the Second Madam strangely. âMay I ask why youâre leaving the city?â
The Second Madam said indifferently, âI heard that there are a lot of new things from other villages and want to go shopping. Why? Am I not allowed?â
The guard hurriedly said politely, âNo, no. How would I dare to obstruct Mrs. Wenâs whereabouts? However, there have been many disasters in the clan recently. After all, the outsiders are all people from the countryside. Iâm afraid itâs not safe. Please think twice, Mrs. Wen.â
Dawa lifted the curtain and said angrily, âWhatâs not safe with me accompanying her?â
The guard was stunned again. âLord Wen is here too?â
Dawa said sarcastically, âIf Iâm not around, I wouldnât even know that the people of my Wen Manor would be stopped when they leave the city. I wonder what their expressions will be when this matter reaches the ears of the Sorcerer Queen and the Great Elder.â
When the guard heard this, he immediately panicked. He hurriedly cupped his hands and apologized. âLord Wen, please forgive me! I was only following orders. It was the Sorcerer Queen who ordered everyone who left the city to be investigated strictly. Lord Wen, you must also know that there are spies in the clan. Not only did that group of spies barge into the palace, but they also once kidnapped His Highness, Ye Yang. Although His Highness has been found, if the spies are not caught for a day, the Sorcerer Clan will not be at peace for a day. I hope Lord Wen can understand our difficulties.â
In other words, even if they were willing to let them out of the city, they had to do a routine inspection.
This was the Wen Manorâs people. It was the Sorcerer Queenâs maternal family. It was impossible for them to do this if they did not have the Sorcerer Queenâs instructions. However, it was not entirely true that the Sorcerer Queen was targeting her maternal family. However, the Sorcerer Queen was indeed angry and would not let go of any small flaw.
âThen search,â Dawa said.
âSorry!â With that, the guard walked towards Dawaâs carriage.
Dawaâs coachman was Zhou Yuyan, who was disguised as a man. On the other hand, Mu Qing was sitting in the carriage dressed as a woman. Mu Qing lowered his eyes, not letting anyone notice his strange pupils.
The guard glanced at Mu Qing.
Second Madam said unhappily, âWhy are you staring at my maidservant?â The guard said, âAh, Mrs. Wen, this maidservant is a little unfamiliar.â
As the mistress of the Wen Manor, even if she and Wen Xu were not on good terms and were living a widowâs life, her status in the clan was still very outstanding. She had attended many important occasions and had always brought Hong Yu along. The guard had seen Hong Yu before and felt that this maidservant did not look like her.
Mu Qing clenched his fists quietly.
The Second Madamâs hand gently rested on his.
The Second Madamâs hand was a little warm and soft, with the gentleness of a woman. She was not as strong as a man, but at this moment, she could inexplicably calm people down.
Mu Qing felt that he was no longer nervous. However, Dawa felt uncomfortable.
âlânat was not a real maidservantâ. He was a DOY! HOW could wanrou toucn a boyâs hand?!
Dawaâs eyes widened, making the guard suspect that he was hallucinating.
What did Lord Wen Xu see? Why did he look like he wanted to eat someone?
Second Madam said calmly, âI have so many maidservants. I can bring whoever I want. Do you even care about this?â
âNo, no!â The guard was embarrassed.
âGuard, are you looking for me?â In the carriage behind, Yu Wan lifted the curtain. She had disguised herself as Hong Yu. Beside her sat Yan Jiuchao, Zhou Jin, and the unconscious Sorcerer King. The coachman was Shadow Thirteen. When the guard saw the familiar face, he smiled awkwardly and walked towards Yu Wan.
Yu Wan lifted the curtain and openly let him check. The guard looked in and met Zhou Jinâs eyes as expected. The guard was in a daze.
âTheyâre all maidservants and stewards of the manor.â
Such a thought appeared in the guardâs mind. He walked to the third carriage in a daze and lifted the curtain to take a look. âYes, itâs indeed the steward..â
