Chapter 474 There is another man behind the screen

Xu Yanqing obviously thought about this problem. He didn't want to cause trouble to Gu Xiyan, so he pointed at the screen and motioned for him to hide.

 Then he took a look at Gu Xiyan's men's clothing and seemed a little worried.

Gu Xiyan glanced at herself and remembered that she had just changed into men's clothes and Xu Yanqing was here again. What a coincidence.

Xu Yanqing thought she was afraid that Zhou Mu would find out that she was Mr. Yan, so he made a quick decision and took her sleeves and hid behind the screen.

Gu Xiyan's reaction was half a beat too slow, and she didn't scream secretly until she and Xu Yanqing hid behind the screen.

Originally, she had nothing to do with Xu Yanqing, but hiding like this made her feel guilty.

　　It's over, it's over, Zhou Mu's internal power is so deep, he wouldn't have noticed how many people were in the house long ago, right?

At this time, Zhou Mu had already stepped across the threshold. He glanced briefly at the room, and his eyes finally settled behind the screen.

Hu Die also followed in at this time. She stared at the screen, secretly thinking that the smart Xiyan would not do anything stupid, so she and Mr. Xu hid behind the screen, right?

 Zhou Mu’s inner strength is so deep, why didn’t he find someone behind the screen? And there’s more than one?

Hu Die was thinking wildly when Zhou Mu asked, "Where is Xi Yan?"

Hu Die scratched his head and thought in a hurry: "I was talking to Su Mei just now. Maybe she followed Su Mei to the granary? How about I take His Highness to look for it?"

Zhou Mu looked at Hu Die with an unpredictable look in his eyes.

Hu Die forgot to breathe for a moment and did not dare to look at Zhou Mu because of her guilty conscience.

“Go and help me look for it, I’ll wait here.” Zhou Mu said, then he found a stool and sat down.

Because his aura was too strong, Hu Die responded in a hopeless manner: "Yes, I'll look for him right away."

When she finished her reply, she secretly thought that it was too bad.

Xiyan is in the room and was talking to Mr. Xu just now. How will she cover them when she leaves?

Zhou Mu saw Hu Die standing motionless and curled his lips indifferently: "Aren't you going yet?"

Hu Die quickly glanced at the screen and wondered, could she leave? She was afraid that as soon as she left, Zhou Mu would find the two people hiding behind the screen and become furious. What would happen if he attacked Xi Yan in anger?

 Xiyan has a baby in her belly!

Then, she suddenly had another sudden thought. She held her stomach and sat down on the nearest stool: "I suddenly have abdominal pain. Why don't you, Your Highness, go and look for it first? I'll wait for a while and then come back."

Zhou Mu watched Hu Die's performance with an indifferent expression, which almost made Hu Die unable to continue acting.

Hu Die didn't understand what Zhou Mu wanted to do for a moment. She really hoped that Zhou Mu would go away quickly.

"Since you feel uncomfortable, just rest here for a while." Zhou Mu opened his lips calmly.

Hu Die saw that Zhou Mu was sitting still and showed no sign of getting up, so he quickly asked: "Your Highness, aren't you going to find Xi Yan?"

Haven’t you always been nervous about Xi Yan? Why is Zhou Mu not anxious at all today?

Zhou Mu didn't answer but asked instead: "Xiaodie, you usually follow Su Xiyan wherever she goes. How can you sit still now?"

Hu Die was stunned for a moment, and then complained incessantly.

 It’s over. Zhou Mu’s internal energy is so powerful. Did he know that Xi Yan was behind the screen?

She blushed and didn't know how to answer the question.

Gu Xiyan, who was hiding behind the screen, also had a grimace.

Originally, there was nothing between her and Xu Yanqing, but hiding like this made her embarrassed to see Zhou Mu.

 She glared at Xu Yanqing in anger.

Xu Yanqing also regretted it and knew that he had done something bad.

Zhou Mu stayed away for a long time, probably because he knew Xi Yan was there. He only prayed that Zhou Mu didn't find him, otherwise how would Xiyan explain to Zhou Mu?

 He felt pain in his heart when he received Gu Xiyan's fiery eyes.

 A man should take responsibility if he does something wrong. He couldn't let Zhou Mu misunderstand Gu Xiyan. "Shall I go out and explain?" Xu Yanqing asked Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan glared at Xu Yanqing. If the situation wasn't wrong, she almost wanted to hold her head and cry. Why does she recite time like this? After finally deciding to confess to Zhou Mu, he actually did it to her like this.

Even Hu Die was very clear-eyed. Zhou Mu must have known that Gu Xiyan was in the room, but he didn't know if he noticed that Xu Yanqing was there as well.

Hu Die was the most restless and kept looking at the screen.

 Zhou Mu's peripheral vision never glanced at that location, which made Hu Die even more aware that he was unfathomable.

The atmosphere in the room became stiff for a while. At this moment, Su Mei suddenly came. When she saw Zhou Mu sitting there, she was a little surprised.

Invited Zhou Mu over so quickly?

She stepped forward and saluted Zhou Mu, and when she was about to ask Gu Xiyan where she was, she saw Hu Die winking at her.

She didn't understand what happened. Hu Die glanced at the screen, Su Mei looked at the screen, and then an idea suddenly occurred to her.

So Gu Xiyan is hiding behind the screen, and Zhou Mu still doesn’t know that Gu Xiyan is Mr. Yan?

Of course Su Mei didn't know at this moment that things were worse than she imagined because there was another man behind the screen.

Gu Xiyan felt that she was finished. She should check the almanac before going out today.

The most important thing is that she should not listen to what Hu Die said about dying early or late. If she had told Zhou Mu one day later that she was Mr. Yan, or directly revealed that she was Mr. Yan, the current situation would not have happened. .

Xu Yanqing also regretted it.

If he had not come to the grain store and had not pulled Gu Xiyan behind the screen on his own initiative, he would not have put Gu Xiyan in such a helpless situation.

Zhou Mu didn't leave after sitting down, it must be because he knew Gu Xiyan was here.

Just die, he will take care of the trouble he caused!

While the room was completely silent, a man suddenly came out from behind the screen, it was Xu Yanqing.

Suddenly, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on Xu Yanqing.

Xu Yanqing said nonchalantly: "I just made a mistake, I thought I caught a thief."

Su Mei:? ?

 Hu Die:? ?

Zhou Mu looked calm and looked at Xu Yanqing without saying anything.

"I just saw a sneaky man in the house. He wanted to run when he saw me. I was anxious and followed him..." Xu Yanqing looked behind the screen.

At this time, he felt that the fact that Gu Xiyan was Mr. Yan could not be hidden, but he could no longer damage Gu Xiyan's dignity.

 So I can only survive with a broken arm and try to make the plot go in a simpler direction.

At this time, Gu Xiyan also realized that Xu Yanqing was paving the way for her to confess and be lenient.

 “Man?” Su Mei didn’t react for a moment.

When she saw Hu Die wink at her, she suddenly remembered that Gu Xiyan had been changing into Mr. Yan's men's clothes before.

Today was originally to confess her identity as Mr. Yan to Zhou Mu, but something unexpected happened like Xu Yanqing, and Zhou Mu came uninvited.

 Zhou Mu glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the figure hiding behind the screen.

Xu Yanqing said he saw a man, so it was a man hiding behind the screen? However, he felt that it was clearly Gu Xiyan behind the screen, and his intuition could not be wrong.

Xu Yanqing's statement was just to excuse Gu Xiyan.
