His steps were steady, with no intention of falling at all. It was obvious that he said this just to prevent Shen Qiqi from being so nervous.

Although she was extremely interested in doing this kind of thing, it was her first time doing it, so Shen Qiqi said it was impossible not to be nervous.

Although she tried to calm down, her trembling hands still pretended that she was completely betrayed.

Mu Chengze patted her hand and lowered his voice: "Don't be nervous, just treat it as if you were going inside for a stroll. We will come out later."

If they hadn't gone straight in to find evidence, why would they have bothered?

Although it was too high-profile to break in, it wasn't a big deal. The worst they could do was make them go through two more circles.

Although he wanted to comfort people, his words really had no effect. Shen Qiqi was still exhaling until he got on the carriage.

"Where's my cousin?"

"Your cousin is a man. Unlike us, it would be okay if he comes in."

Seeing her looking out, as if she wanted Gu Tingshu to come in, Mu Chengze hurriedly pulled her over and put the curtain in place.

"He's following behind. Don't worry, it won't happen."

Shen Qiqi knew their abilities and knew there would be no danger, but she still couldn't help but worry.

"Cousin, have you ever done anything like this before?"

Mu Chengze shook his head. It was enough to experience this kind of thing once. If it happened again, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be furious.

I have never experienced it before, so I just went in hastily. What if this is exposed?

The closer to Qingzhou, the more Shen Qiqi felt that this matter was unreliable.

She held her satchel with both hands, her palms so nervous that they were sweating.

With her appearance, she might be suspected later.

Mu Chengze thought for a while, took out a silver needle, took her hand and pricked it gently.

"hiss--"

The fingertips hurt, and Shen Qiqi wanted to pull her hand back, but Mu Chengze held it tighter.

Mu Chengze grabbed her hand, squeezed out several drops of bright red blood, and then took a handkerchief to wipe it clean for her.

When she pulled her hand back to check, he put away the handkerchief and said slowly: "Are you still nervous now?"

Now I just feel the pain, so I don't have to worry about being nervous.

Shen Qiqi shook her head, looked at the red dots on her fingertips, rolled the handkerchief a few times, and then put it into her palm.

Although this is not a good method, I have to say that it is indeed useful.

Not only is she not nervous now, but she is also looking forward to it.

"Cousin, what should I do later?"

"You don't have to do anything later, just follow me in and remember not to look up."

"Also, no matter who calls you, you can't walk away without me speaking. You must stay within my visible range."

He warned him over and over again, and Shen Qiqi listened carefully and nodded from time to time, as seriously as a student studying.

The carriage moved very quickly. In less than half an hour, they had arrived at the city gate. When changing the sedan chair, Mu Chengze whispered another instruction.

"Walk with your chest hunched over and a wider swing in your stride."

Although makeup can change her appearance, her figure and demeanor are not comparable to those of ordinary maids. If she doesn't pretend better, those old ladies who have been in the backyard for many years will know it at a glance.

Hearing this, Shen Qiqi's originally straight back drooped. She raised her eyes and glanced at Mu Chengze, frowning, as if to say: Look, I did a good job!

There was a smile hidden in Mu Chengze's eyes. It would be great if such a cute girl was his biological sister.

The time and place were not right at this moment, otherwise he would have to praise her, it would be better to praise her to the sky, so that she would be in a good mood for several days in a row.

After he got on the sedan, Shen Qiqi could only follow him.

Perhaps Shao Fuyin had told him that the sedan bearer was walking so fast that she had to trot to keep up.

Although Qingzhou is not a big place, it still takes a long time to get from the city gate to Shao Mansion. The weather was so hot right now that Shen Qiqi almost couldn't breathe.

She gradually couldn't keep up with her pace. Mu Chengze, who was sitting inside, finally couldn't bear it any longer. He punched the sedan with his fist and said in a pinched voice, "Where are you chasing the soul?"

"Are you running so fast that you won't be able to catch your meal?"

What he said was really unpleasant. The four bearers blushed and wanted to say a few words, but they were worried about her identity.

It doesn't matter if they offend her, but if they offend the governor of Qingzhou, they will not have a good life.

Fearing that the people in the sedan would make trouble again, the bearer could only slow down.

Shen Qiqi finally had a chance to breathe. She leaned against the window and exhaled in small mouths.

When passing a water stall, Mu Chengze stopped the sedan chair and asked Shen Qiqi to buy a bowl of water.

He said he was thirsty, but he didn't touch the water after buying it. He just said that he didn't want to drink it anymore and gave it to Shen Qiqi to drink.

Worrying about the presence of outsiders, what he said did not sound pleasant. Knowing that he bought water for herself, Shen Qiqi didn't care.

She drank all the water, and her throat, which seemed to be on fire, felt much better.

"Girl, let's leave quickly. If it's too late, the little one will suffer."

After being stopped again, the red-faced bearer finally couldn't help it and said cautiously.

"After I carry the girl into the house, I have to go back to do hard work, otherwise there will be no food for today."

Shen Qiqi originally thought that they were all from the Shao Mansion, but from what they heard, that was not the case.

So she took two steps back and struck up a conversation with the bearer who spoke.

"Brother, from what you say, you are not from the Shao Mansion?"

The bearer took a deep breath and said, "Oh, how can we be so lucky to work in Shao Mansion?"

"We are all countrymen who transport stones outside the city. The bearers of the Shao Mansion felt that the work of carrying the sedan was tiring, so they asked us to help."

This kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice anymore. It would be fine if they paid me wages, but over the years, they haven't even received half a copper.

For every day of work that is missed, the whole family will go hungry for a day. I don’t know when this kind of life will end.

"Okay, girl, let's go quickly while we still have some time. We can go work for a while after we drop the girl off."

Now they can work for a while and earn a copper every copper.

Shen Qiqi didn't expect that they were not from the Shao Mansion. Even the bearers carrying the sedan chair would use their power to bully others, which showed how virtuous their master was.

Mu Chengze also heard what they said, and immediately stopped delaying and let them carry him to the back door of Shao Mansion.

There were a few people sitting crookedly at the back door, dressed in short coats, and it was obvious at a glance that they were the original bearers of the sedan chair.
