The path that Wen Rao and Jin Xi were taking happened to be patrolled by the housekeeper.

The butler saw two suspicious-looking mud men at a glance.

The butler asked in a vigilant voice, "Who is it?"

"Don't go!"

When Wen Rao heard the housekeeper's call, she immediately pulled Jin Xi away.

She wasn't afraid of being embarrassed or anything, but she was mainly afraid that the housekeeper would tell Zhan Yan.

If Zhan Yan knew about this, he would definitely blame her for a long time.

Maybe she won’t be allowed to investigate in the future.

"Catch up with them! Stop!"

The housekeeper saw Wen Rao and Jin Xi running very fast and became more and more suspicious.

Just looking at their backs, they look familiar.

"Mrs. Zhan, there is a mountain road ahead. If we go up the mountain, it will be dark when we get down."

Jin Xi reminded Wen Rao in a deep voice.

Wen Rao could only accept her fate and stopped.

The two turned around and looked at the butler who was chasing them with his men, and smiled awkwardly at the same time.

His face was covered with mud, and only his teeth were white.

It was broad daylight, and the housekeeper couldn't help but shudder when he saw it.

"you……"

"Butler, it's me, Wen Rao, and Jin Xi."

Wen Rao spoke, but even though it was a familiar voice, the butler didn't dare to recognize it.

"Zhan...Mrs. Zhan...what are you doing..."

It took the housekeeper a while to come back to his senses.

"We accidentally fell into a mud pit. Butler, please take us back from the backyard. Don't let my parents-in-law and Zhan Yan know about it."

Wen Rao gave detailed instructions to the housekeeper.

The butler sighed.

He can't make the decision for Mr. Zhan.

Seeing the housekeeper's expression, Wen Rao knew that she couldn't escape today.

The butler will definitely tell you.

She didn't blame the butler, it was also his duty.

"Go back and change your clothes first."

The butler had not yet recovered from the shock.

After all, it was the first time I saw Wen Rao in such a miserable state.

I'm afraid even if Mr. Zhan came he wouldn't be able to recognize that this is his wife.

He looks like a clay figure.

Wen Rao nodded and walked back with Jin Xi.

But, whatever you fear is bound to happen.

Just as I entered the yard, Zhan Yan came back early.

Wen Rao happened to bump into Zhan Yan.

Wen Rao nervously hid behind the housekeeper.

"Housekeeper, wait until I change my clothes and take a shower before you talk.

If Zhan Yan sees me like this, he will go crazy."

Wen Rao quietly asked the housekeeper to talk about it later.

The butler sighed and remained silent, which was considered as his agreement.

Wen Rao breathed a sigh of relief and continued to hide behind the housekeeper pretending to be dead.

"Butler, they are..."

Zhan Yan passed by the butler and saw two clay figures behind him, which were actually moving. He couldn't help but look shocked.

“Uh… this is…”

"Are they here to beg? Take them to wash up."

Zhan Yan's first reaction was to regard Wen Rao and Jin Xi as beggars in trouble.

After all, this situation is not uncommon in Qingshan Pavilion.

When Qingshanguan opened its doors, one of the things it did was to help the homeless.

As long as they are willing to earn money with their own hands, Qingshanguan will give them a chance to start over.

"Uh, yes."

Zhan Yan felt strange about the housekeeper's hesitant attitude.

He was about to leave, but his eyes fell on Wen Rao's feet.

Wen Rao's shoes were covered with mud before, but after walking for a while, some of the mud fell off, revealing the brown toes.

Zhan Yan recognized at a glance that these were the couple shoes he and Wen Rao wore.

His cold eyes suddenly fell on Wen Rao's face.

Then it fixed on her eyes.

Wen Rao felt uncomfortable being stared at by him and she avoided him with her eyes flickering.

The next moment, Zhan Yan walked up to her without caring that she was covered in mud, and raised his hand to wipe the mud off her face.
