The Elders come knocking for Shen Lie
When Jie Ying saw that Shen Lie had fallen asleep, she felt sleepy as well.
Just as she was about to sleep on Shen Lie's chest, she heard a knock at the gate and this startled her.
She tried to shake Shen Lie to wake up but he was sleeping like a dead person.
Even the 3 maidens that were below the bed were all startled that there was actually someone else that was looking for Shen Lie in his isolated abode.
Jie Ying felt like she had to hide somewhere so that she would not be seen together with Shen Lie.
When she saw the gap that was below the bed, she thought that it may be a good idea for her to hide under the bed for the time being…
The knock was accompanied by several more knocks before a beautiful voice said, "Shen Lie, are you there?"
All of a sudden Jie Ying had turned ashen as she had recognized the voice as that of Elder Hua Zixia.
She thought panicky, "Why is she here in this place?"
