Mingshu and Si Chu came out of the back courtyard one after the other, keeping a distance between them. As they did, they could hear a stream of cursing from ahead.
The two exchanged a glance and saw the same seriousness reflected in each other's eyes.
"Bang" ——
Suddenly, there was a loud crash as if a stool had been kicked over.
Someone cursed loudly, "Where is everyone?! How can such a big inn have no one around? Damn it!"
Mingshu took a deep breath and saw Si Chu gesturing to her. He was signaling that he would go out and take a look first, and she should act according to the situation.
Mingshu nodded her head. As Si Chu turned to lift the curtain, she hurriedly squeezed past him and tightly followed behind him.
What a joke. How could she let her baby face danger alone!
Si Chu paused, giving her a cool, sidelong glance. She pretended not to notice.
Just as Mingshu emerged and stood up straight, she saw the scene in the inn's hall and suddenly froze.
