Chapter 2656 Prime Minister Jin is not a stepping stone

After all, it was still spring. After staying in the dark and damp tree hole for a long time, Shi Li gradually felt her body begin to feel cold, and the damp and cold water vapor invaded her body through her thin clothes.

She could only curl herself up as much as possible and rely on her body temperature to resist the cold, but her hearing was still excellent.

A rustling sound coming from outside immediately made her alert. She subconsciously held her breath and dared not move.

She had a bad feeling that the person who came was not the one she hoped for.

She had been missing for so long that the people outside must have started searching for her vigorously, so it was impossible that only footsteps were heard without other shouting.

Shi Li thought calmly, hoping that this hidden tree hole would not be discovered.

But things went against their wishes. The other party came prepared and wandered around here for a long time. Finally, they found this tree hole. They pulled aside the weeds and dead branches that were blocking the view and saw Shi Li.

Seeing the triumphant smile on the man's face, Shi Li wanted to punch him.

It would be of no use to her to show off her bravery. She could only lower her eyes to hide her anger, and then pretend to be surprised, "Master Xiao Zhong, why are you here?"

Shi Li tried to deceive Zhong Shanlang into letting him down.

But Zhong Shanlang was not fooled. He roughly pulled Shi Li up and carried him out of the cave.

"Miss Shi, I've been wandering here for a long time and finally found you." There was a crazy expression on Zhong Shanlang's face.

This time he gave it a try, knowing that this was his last chance, so he no longer hid in front of Shi Li and walked out with big strides.

As he walked, he kept muttering: "When we appear in front of everyone like this, I will be the only one who can be the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Sure enough, until now Zhong Shanlang has not given up his dream of using her as a springboard to save twenty years of hard work.

Shi Li felt so angry that her teeth were itching, but for now she could only pretend that nothing had happened and said nothing as if she was frightened.

Although one is weaker than others, he who knows the times is a hero.

"Miss Shi, everyone out there is looking for you, just accept your fate."

Zhong Shanlang felt that he had secured victory this time, so he became more carefree and spoke with great pride, "In the future, I can earn you a title of Consort of Imperial Consort, which won't be a disgrace to you as the daughter of the Prime Minister!"

If she could beat this man, what Shi Li wanted to do most now was to spit in his face. She was really impressed by how shameless a person could be.

Zhong Shanlang carried her in his arms as he walked through the dense forest. In the middle, he could faintly hear Shi Li's cries, but Zhong Shanlang deliberately avoided them.

He wanted more people to see how close Shi Li and he were, so that the marriage could be confirmed.

On the way, he kept threatening Shi Li not to call for help, and Shi Li agreed. She would not do anything that might hurt herself, even without Zhong Shanlang telling her.

No matter how much Zhong Shanlang planned, he would never have expected that the biggest difference between Shi Li and the other women here was that she didn't care about her reputation at all.

An hour had passed since Shi Li disappeared, and Prime Minister Shi had arrived in person, bringing with him many palace guards.

This time it wasn't because he cried that he came, but because the emperor heard about the incident and sent people here on his own initiative. In addition, Lu Shenyuan also came and led people to go into the dense forest to search.

Just as everyone was about to disperse, they heard footsteps coming from the dense forest.

Then, in full view of everyone, Zhong Shanlang walked out holding Shi Li.

Just now he had deliberately pulled his clothes and Shi Li's clothes a few times, creating an even more misleading and suspicious illusion.

"Master Shi, I found Miss Shi."

Seeing that there were indeed so many people outside, especially Prime Minister Shi and Lu Shenyuan, Zhong Shanlang was very proud, but he pretended to be a gentleman hypocritically and said with embarrassment: "I am worried about Miss Shi's safety, it's really not intentional..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Shenyuan had already walked up to him in three or two steps, grabbed Shi Li into his arms with one hand, and then kicked Lu Shenyuan several meters away.

Zhong Shanlang didn't expect Lu Shenyuan to take action directly. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. Then he coughed and said, "Ahem... I didn't mean it... Now that Miss Shi's reputation has been damaged, I am willing..."

In fact, no one cares what he says.

Prime Minister Shi didn't even give him a second glance. Instead, he rushed to Shi Li, looked at her with heartache, and then started crying again in front of everyone.

Everyone could only pretend not to see it.

Shi Li: ...

She didn't know how to comfort her old father and could only smile awkwardly.

"Father, I'm fine."

Then, she raised her head and looked at Lu Shenyuan, with a hint of uncertainty in her heart.

She doesn't care about her reputation, but what about Lu Shenyuan?
