He then turned to the military officer in the lead and said," Sir, my lady is here. This means that the person you are looking for is not in the room. Please leave."”
The man glanced at Mrs. Yang, pushed her aside with his saber, and took two steps forward.
"Young Lady, don't make things difficult for me. I'm only following orders.”
"Am I making things difficult for you or are you making things difficult for me? I'm just an unmarried girl. If I let you search my room, will my reputation be ruined?”
Wen Yuanyuan's face was cold as he continued,"You can go in if you want, but you have to step over my dead body first!”
The military officer clearly did not expect to meet such a tyrannical person. He immediately lost his patience and said to his subordinates behind him,"This woman is not cooperating with the search. I'm afraid she's in cahoots with the spies. Men, capture her and bring her back to the camp!”
Hearing this, Wen Yuanyuan's face suddenly turned cold. She looked at the two officers who were rushing towards her and suddenly pulled out the sword of the nearest officer and placed it across her neck.
"Whoever dares to take another step forward, Mrs. Yang, just wait to collect my corpse!”
Hearing this, Granny Yang was shocked.
Thinking about it, Miss 'reaction was so big, could it be…Thinking about it, he looked at Wen Yuanyuan, and when he saw the latter nod his head, his heart immediately tensed up.
However, it was the nanny beside the wife of the High Duke who calmed down after a moment of panic. She stepped forward and knocked away the two approaching military officers, blocking in front of Wen Yuanyuan.
"Do you know who my Miss is? This old woman is telling you, if anything happens to my young miss today, none of you here can live!”
The leader was also a person who was used to being arrogant. Facing Mrs. Yang's threat, he snorted disdainfully. Just as he was about to say something, a black tiger-striped token suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Do you recognize this item?"
That person first squinted at Granny Yang, then looked at the token casually. After a moment, his eyes widened." You…"
Nanny Yang looked at Wen Yuanyuan behind her and nodded slightly. She took a step forward and said in a low voice,"Milord, my family's young miss has not married yet, and a young lady's reputation is extremely important.”
The man hesitated. Someone had seen the man escape into this inn. He had come to search under military orders. It would be fine if he found him in other rooms, but if he didn't find him in other rooms and happened to be hiding in this one, he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility if he didn't search and let the man escape.
However, this little girl had such a powerful background. The other party had already revealed her identity and threatened her with her life. If he really killed her when he barged in, just as this old woman had said, he and his subordinates would not be able to live!
With military orders in front and his life at stake, it was really difficult.
Mrs. Yang was used to reading people's expressions and naturally saw that the other party had loosened up. She immediately took out a gold ingot from her sleeve and stuffed it over.
He said meaningfully," This old servant is not an unreasonable person. Your Excellency also has his own difficulties. How about this? This old servant promises that if today's matter has any trouble in the future, it will be on us. When we return to the capital, this old servant will also tell the old general about tonight's matter truthfully.”
His words were neither light nor heavy. While giving the other party a reassurance, they also contained a warning and threat to make him know his place.
The older the ginger, the spicier it was!
Granny Yang's kindness and intimidation made the other party have scruples. After checking the other rooms, they quickly left the inn.
However, Wen Yuanyuan stopped them before they went downstairs and threw the sword in his hand over." Here you go!”
That person was speechless.
How embarrassing!
Only when she could no longer see the figure did Granny Yang heave a sigh of relief. However, when she thought of the uninvited guest in Wen Yuanyuan's room, she raised her voice again.
"Miss, please wait here. This old servant will go in and take a look first.”
Hearing this, Wen Yuanyuan felt warm in her heart. She grabbed Nanny Yang," I'll go with you."”
"No…"
"Don't worry, granny. If my guess is correct, that person has already left.”
"Ah?"
He left?
Wen Yuanyuan only smiled when she saw her doubtful gaze. She turned around and walked into the room first.
Just now, when Nanny Yang was talking to the military officer, she vaguely heard a slight sound in the room and guessed that the person had left.
As expected, the window in the room was wide open, and the bed curtain was half covered. There was no one inside.
Even so, Mrs. Yang was still worried. She checked every place in the room where someone could hide, even under the bed. Only when she was sure that the person had left did she feel slightly relieved.
He walked over and closed the window. With lingering fear, he said,"Fortunately, that person was tactful and did not hurt Young Lady. Otherwise, this old servant would not know how to explain this to Furen after returning.”
Before she left, Madam had repeatedly instructed her to take good care of Young Miss. If anything happened to Young Miss, she would be too ashamed to face Madam even if she died.
"But Miss, you were too bold just now. What if you hurt yourself?”
Thinking of the scene of Wen Yuanyuan holding a knife to her neck, Granny Yang felt a wave of fear. If she had reacted slower by half a beat, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Wen Yuanyuan smiled at her. Since she dared to do it, she naturally had a plan in her heart. Moreover, at that time, she had no other choice but to remind Granny Yang.
However, the ending was rather unexpected.
She had seen the token that Granny Yang had taken out in her previous life, but it was a few years later. At that time, Granny Yang had used it to protect her.
The black tiger-patterned token was the symbol of her maternal grandfather's status as the Defender General. However, she never thought that she would see this token so early in this life.
While Wen Yuanyuan was thinking, he heard Nanny Yang say,"It was Furen who had the foresight to give this old servant this token before leaving. Otherwise, I really don't know how I would end things today.”
"By the way, Miss, you don't know yet, right? Your maternal grandfather is the Defender General. This token is the symbol of the old general's status. Although our High Duke's Public House has a remarkable status, in terms of weight in the army, the old general still belongs to us.”
This was also the reason why she didn't mention the Duke of Wen's Mansion and took out the token.
Wen Yuanyuan's eyes flashed. How could she not know that she had a grandfather who held a high position in the military?
It was precisely because she had such a strong external family that in her previous life, no matter how much the old lady hated her and abandoned her, she did not dare to chase her out of the High Duke's Public House.
And later on, he found her a marriage with a family like the Marquis of Wuan.
If it wasn't for her maternal grandfather, the old lady would have sent her to the manor after her mother passed away and let her fend for herself!
