MTL - Portable Space: The Peasant Princess-Chapter 851 Good acting (2)

 Chapter 851 The play was well performed (2)

 The people outside the door saw his cowardly look, with disdain in their eyes.

“We are here to search various courtyards on the order of the city lord, and we also ask the people in the courtyard to cooperate.”

Mu Qing pretended to be flattering and smiled, but then felt a little embarrassed: "This...here, gentlemen, our wife is not in good health, you see..."

A strong man led by him raised his voice and said, "What? Do you still want to disobey me?"

Mu Qing hurriedly nodded and bowed, and said with a flattering face: "Don't you dare! Please, please!"

After Mu Qing finished speaking, he stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.

The people snorted coldly and then stepped into the courtyard.

When Mu Qing saw a few people entering the courtyard, a cold light flashed through his dark eyes. He tried his best to lower his murderous intent and stepped forward with a smile to guide the way for them.

At this time, Mo Xue had already lit up all the lanterns in the courtyard, while Lu Yuan was waiting in the courtyard holding a pale and weak-looking Gu Panxia.

After the strong men came in, they first looked at Lu Yuan and Gu Panxia up and down, and then turned to look at Mo Xue.

Gu Panxia was supported by Lu Yuan, and from time to time he covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed lightly.

She was wrapped in a thick cloak, her face was pale, and she looked like she was about to die soon.

“You guys came here late at night, what’s the matter?”

Lu Yuan looked at those people in panic, patting Gu Panxia's back from time to time.

"Recently, thieves have sneaked into Nancheng. We have been ordered by the city lord to search various courtyards and arrest the thieves. Have any of you seen the people in this painting?"

 A strong man opened the scroll in his hand and put it in front of several people.

A few people came forward and seemed to look at it seriously for a while before shaking their heads.

“Gentlemen, we have never seen these thieves before.”

"Haven't you seen it?" The man holding the scroll frowned, but looked at the people who had entered the house to search. When they saw them coming out, they shook their heads, and then put away the scroll.

"Since you haven't seen it, forget it. If you do, remember to report it. You will be rewarded in due time."

A few people nodded in fear, and Lu Yuan nodded even more: "Don't worry, gentlemen, if we see this thief, we will definitely report it to you."

The man was very satisfied to see that they were sincere and a little afraid of them.

He turned around and walked out of the courtyard with a few people. Mu Qinggong sent a few people off and didn't lock the door until they reached the next courtyard.

Mo Xue was the first to burst out laughing.

Gu Panxia and Lu Yuan also looked at each other and smiled.

She stretched out her hand to push Lu Yuan and chuckled softly, "I didn't expect that your master and servant have such acting skills."

Hearing this, Mu Qing, who had just returned, coughed slightly in embarrassment.

Lu Yuan looked at her steadily and said with a smile: "My wife's acting skills are not bad. She is pretending to be sick. If I hadn't known about it in advance, I would have thought she was seriously ill."

The smile on Gu Panxia's lips froze, and she snorted lightly: "That's right, don't even look at where this girl is from."

Although she has been in this world for a long time, she is still a modern person. Although she is not an actress, this little drama still does not trouble her.

"Okay, I guess no one will bother me anymore, so you can go back to your house and rest."

 Lu Yuan finished speaking to Mo Xue and Mu Qing, then took the lead back to the house with Gu Panxia in his arms.

“Miss Mo, please rest early!”

Mu Qing bowed to Mo Xue, then turned and returned to his room.

Mo Xue watched him enter the house, curled her lips, and then returned to her house.
