The Farmer’s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket
Chapter 1263: The Two MeetChapter 1263: The Two Meet
However, when Duan Wan approached the house where Zhilan and Huilan were locked up, the sound of people searching for intruders suddenly came.
Duan Wan’s expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly ran away.
Fortunately, she was very familiar with the Duan residence and knew where to hide. She quickly shook off the pursuers and hid. Then, she crawled into the fake mountain in the backyard of the second branch.
She did not know what went wrong. She thought that she had been very careful along the way and should not have been discovered.
She wondered if the old woman in charge regretted helping her and went to tell on her again.
However, Duan Wan knew that at this moment, she could only hide quietly and not make a sound, let alone be taken away. Otherwise, Second Uncle and Second Aunt would definitely not be negligent this time and would definitely let her and Old Master Zheng get married.
Fortunately, this courtyard belonged to the second branch. Those people would not come here to search. She was safe for the time being.
When the search outside was not so strict, she would go somewhere else.
Duan Wan exhaled and sat on the ground, hugging her legs, feeling sad and regretful.
As expected, she still couldn’t do it. She couldn’t even do such a small thing. Not only did she fail to save Zhilan and Huilan, she even lost herself.
If Gu Yundong and the rest knew about it, they would probably not be willing to care about her anymore.
She missed Eldest Brother so much. If Eldest Brother was around, how would Second Uncle and the others dare to treat her like this?
Her parents had already left. She was so afraid that her brother had also left, leaving her alone. She could not protect the family business, or the servants around her, or even herself…
The more Duan Wan thought about it, the sadder she became. Her tears fell without warning.
Just as she was about to wipe her face, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
Duan Wan quickly held her breath and did not dare to move.
However, the voice outside was getting closer and closer. It was her cousin, Duan Wen.
“Young Master Dou, Young Master Dou, where did you go? My father said that a thief has entered the residence. Be careful. The thief might harm you. It’s better to go to the front hall first.”
Duan Wan shrank her neck, afraid that her cousin would find her hiding place.
Except…
Young Master Dou??
Duan Wan had just furrowed her brows when someone suddenly came in from outside the rockery.
She suddenly widened her eyes. The person who entered was also stunned for a moment. He did not expect there to be a maidservant crying with red eyes.
However, Duan Wen’s voice soon sounded again. “Young Master Dou…”
Dou Fukang couldn’t care less and quickly went in. He even said to Duan Wan, “Please move inside.”
Duan Wan was a little stunned, but she subconsciously moved inside.
Fortunately, this rockery was big enough. Dou Fukang had shrunk his entire body into it, and there was even a fist’s distance between them.
Duan Wan did not even dare to make a sound as she tightened her grip on her legs.
What’s going on? Why is this person in here? Will he turn me in?
Wait a minute, Duan Wen called him Young Master Dou outside just now…
Duan Wan looked to the side. This person was indeed dressed in luxurious clothes and looked very noble.
Could it be that the person in front of him was the young master of General Dou’s family that everyone had mentioned?
Seeing that she was looking at him, Dou Fukang hurriedly whispered, “Shh, don’t make a sound. I won’t tell anyone that you’re slacking off here.”
Duan Wan was wearing the clothes of a maidservant and was hiding here alone. Dou Fukang naturally thought that she was a maidservant of the Duan family and might have suffered some grievance.
Hearing this, Duan Wan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but she slowly turned her head and buried her face.
