Chapter 1947 The Regent Princess is about to faint again

Sure enough, before noon, a team of heavily armored imperial guards broke into the Shi family.

The leader of the group was a middle-aged man with a fair face and no beard. The leaders of the imperial guards all respectfully called him "Eunuch Zhao".

Although the Shi family was well prepared, they were also shocked by the scene.

My father's face became even more serious, then he forced a smile and walked forward respectfully to greet him.

"Mr. Shi, I'm sure you know why I'm here. Just hand him over quickly so that we can save trouble."

Eunuch Zhao glanced at his father arrogantly, put his hands behind his back and raised his head, not taking him seriously at all.

My father lowered his eyes and endured it for a while before he could continue speaking.

"Eunuch Zhao is right. Gu Jinning did come to my house yesterday, but this morning his servants and bookboys came to me in a panic, saying he was missing. At first I wondered how he could be missing, but then I learned that such a big thing had happened in the capital."

"Humph! Mr. Shi did a great job!"

The eunuch was just pretending to be powerful, and he didn't show any good face at all. He looked around at the harsh imperial guards and said, "You see, I am here to arrest someone by order, and you can't stop me!"

"I dare not stop him. I really don't know where Gu Jinning is now." The smile on my father's face almost froze, but his back was still straight.

Eunuch Zhao looked him up and down, and finally sneered, "If that's the case, Mr. Shi, don't blame me for being rude! Search!"

At his command, the leader of the imperial guards immediately led his men straight in.

Such a scene would be considered a great humiliation for any noble family. But given the current situation, my father could only endure it.

When the imperial guards searched the house inside and out, Eunuch Zhao was not in a hurry at all. He ordered someone to bring in an armchair. He sat on the chair and leisurely drank tea, talking to his father from time to time.

"I heard that Madam Shi and the young mistress of the Gu family are very close. They knew each other very well when they were still waiting to be married?"

"Before my wife married into the Shi family, she did have one or two close friends."

"Oh? The two families are so close, have you ever thought about arranging a marriage for your children?" Eunuch Zhao didn't know whether he had heard some rumors or was just guessing. He squinted his eyes and asked casually.

The father's heart tightened, but he remained calm, "No, my daughter is still young. My wife and I want to stay for a few more years, and we don't want them to marry far away."

Eunuch Zhao seemed unconvinced. He smiled without saying anything and drank a cup of tea slowly. Just then, the leader of the imperial guards returned empty-handed.

"Eunuch Zhao, we didn't find the person, but we found the servant and the book boy. They were locked in the woodshed." The leader signaled his men to bring the trembling servant and the book boy up and make them kneel on the ground.

Eunuch Zhao did not rush to ask questions, but nodded and said to himself: "It seems that the person is really not here..."

"Please ask Madam Shi and the young master and young lady to come out and talk." He changed the subject, put down the teacup and suddenly attacked.

There is no way to avoid this.

Shi Li had been mentally prepared when the imperial guards were searching everywhere just now, so he remained calm and did not panic when he was called over.

Shi Xuan, who was standing aside, looked a little pale, but still remained calm.

As soon as Shi Yu walked into the room, he rushed to the front and subconsciously put his two younger sisters behind him.

But Eunuch Zhao just glanced at him, and his eyes moved back and forth between the two sisters Shi Xuan and Shi Li with interest.

Finally, it stopped on Shi Xuan.

"Is this the eldest daughter of the Shi family?" He pressed the corners of his lips, seeming to like Shi Xuan very much.

"Yes..." Shi Xuan answered hesitantly, lowering his head and not daring to raise it.

But Eunuch Zhao refused to let her go and continued to stare at her and ask, "Did you see the young master of the Gu family yesterday?"

In an instant, everyone present became nervous.

His eyes were focused on Shi Xuan.

She was very nervous, but she also remembered what her mother had told her, so she mustered up her courage and raised her head, "Yes, he came to my house yesterday and we had dinner together."

"Oh? What do you think of the young master of the Gu family?" Eunuch Zhao continued to persuade.

Shi Xuan may have talked too much and was less nervous, so he answered: "He is very handsome, but I didn't have the chance to talk to him."

Eunuch Zhao asked a few more questions, and Shi Xuan answered them one by one. Since they were all true, Eunuch Zhao could not find any fault with them.

After some questioning, his eyes fell on Shi Li.

"What do you think of what your sister said? Do you like the young master of the Gu family?" Eunuch Zhao smiled like a kind elder.

But Shi Li felt as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

After calming down, Shi Li answered calmly: "I think what my sister said is right. The little princess of the Gu family is pretty, and I like her."

"Oh?" Eunuch Zhao seemed a little bored. "You like me after just one day of knowing me?"

"He's good-looking, of course I like him! I'm going to look for a good-looking husband in the future!"

Shi Li raised her head and said deliberately.

Eunuch Zhao looked at her steadily for a while, and finally laughed.

"Okay, if you meet a good-looking young man in the future, I will give him to you as my husband!"
