Chapter 405 Discovering the Darkroom
Xu Haitang's courtyard has always been guarded by many people, and no one can enter except her.
Of course, except Nangong Yu.
After all, he is the future head of the Nangong family.
The servants originally pretended to stop him, but when they saw Nangong Yu's cold eyes, their legs went weak and they quickly gave way.
The young master has always been gentle and refined. Who has ever seen him so cold?
Lu Zichun followed behind Nangong Yu, and next to him was a man in black who was good at using unconventional methods.
I have to say, Xu Haitang's yard is really big.
Lu Zichun was stunned.
The ingeniously designed pavilions and ponds, the magnificent buildings, the colorful and exotic flowers and plants...
The specifications, construction, and style are almost catching up with the Young Master’s Mansion.
No, it's even worse than that. Even the standards for the head of the family are not this high!
It took them nearly an hour to walk from the front hall to the outside of the bedroom.
After the trip, all three of them were a little tired.
Lu Zichun even said bluntly: "Young Miss has to ride in a sedan chair every day when she goes back to her bedroom to sleep, right?"
Nangong Yu was a little embarrassed.
He knew the elegance of Nangong Haitang's courtyard.
In the first year she came back, her family spoiled her almost to the sky in order to make up for it.
Needless to say there are gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins.
He even bought the entire street next door to build a garden for her.
Looking back now, it was indeed a bit too extravagant.
Even princesses don't have so much luxury.
Soon, everyone arrived in front of Xu Haitang's bedroom.
Two tall white marble pillars support the majestic and broad eaves. The gate is vermilion and carved with lifelike patterns.
A row of servants stood at the door.
Seeing Nangong Yu, the group quickly knelt on the ground and saluted.
"I've met the young master."
Nangong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
So many people are sent to guard just one bedroom. Is there something fishy going on?
Nangong Yu's heart sank, and he said coldly, "Open the door."
The servants turned pale with fright in an instant.
"Master, we don't have the key. How about we wait for the young lady to come back and open it for you?"
Nangong Yu looked at the man in black beside him.
The man walked forward, took something out of his sleeve, and started unlocking the door.
The kneeling servants were so frightened when they saw this that they almost lost their souls.
One person spoke boldly to Nangong Yu.
While speaking, he kowtowed on the ground.
"Please forgive us, Master. If the young lady comes back, she will definitely beat us to death!"
Seeing this, the others also slammed their foreheads against the hard marble floor. For a moment, there was only a dull "bang" sound and blood flowed everywhere.
Nangong Yu said in a deep voice: "Stop right there, I will take care of you, don't be afraid!"
"no no!"
The man cried out loudly, blood flowing down his cheeks, looking very miserable, "If the young master insists on opening the door, please give us some mercy and let us die! We would rather die in your hands. We would rather not..."
This group of people were all shaking like quails, and you could tell at a glance that they were truly scared to the core.
Nangong Yu’s expression became increasingly cold.
The servants shouted in unison.
"Please, Master, kill us!"
Lu Zichun, who was standing by, also felt very uncomfortable watching this.
How bloody and ruthless is Miss Nangong in her daily life?
That's why these servants were scared like this.
Nangong Yu's voice was hoarse.
"I am the young master of the Nangong family. What I said means what I meant. No one dares to touch you. Nangong Haitang, the same goes!"
Nangong Yu looked at Lu Zichun standing aside.
"Check how many servants the young lady has beaten and killed."
Lu Zichun nodded. "Yes, sir."
Seeing this, the servants finally felt relieved.
The master of the Nangong family has always been gentle to his servants.
You know, it's not easy for a top family like Nangong to train a servant.
All of them are family-born children, and their ancestors have lived in the Nangong family for generations.
I have learned various etiquette, talents and skills since I was a child......
How many evil things did Nangong Haitang do without telling them?
"Master, the door is open."
The voice of the man in black interrupted Nangong Yu's thoughts.
He clenched his fists and walked in slowly.
At first, he didn't even dare to look around, for fear of seeing something he shouldn't see.
All investigations were completed and nothing unusual was found.
Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that Haitang......"
The next moment, Nangong Yu’s eyes widened, and the unfinished words were stuck in his throat.
The man in black didn't know what he pressed, but the screen in front of the three people suddenly flipped over, the floor moved, and a dark hole appeared out of thin air.
Nangong Yu's hands trembled slightly.
The Man in Black has been in this business for a long time and knows that the bigger the secret, the sooner one will die.
He bowed and said, "I will not go down with you two adults. I will be outside. Call me anytime if you need anything."
Lu Zichun nodded, "Thank you, brother. Young Master, I won't follow you either--"
Nangong Yu pulled him down.
"Sir, you won't kill me to silence me, will you?"
Lu Zichun swallowed and looked at the dark and long stairs, feeling a little scared.
Nangong Yu's voice was unusually impatient, "No, wait, what are those white things?"
Lu Zichun walked forward with a hunched back, his heart sinking.
"It's bones. There are also ink lines, hoes and other tools next to them. They might be the workers who dug this secret room."
It was pitch black all around, and even a grown man like Lu Zichun felt a little scared. He really admired Miss Nangong for her courage.
Nangong Yu pursed his lips and said nothing.
My heart was beating faster and faster.
He had a premonition.
What you see next will overturn all your cognition.
After they walked up the last step, their eyes suddenly lit up, so bright that it hurt.
After getting used to the light, the two looked at the scene in front of them, unable to utter a word. All they felt was shock, astonishment, and a hint of fear.
Nangong Yu's lungs seemed to be pierced and even breathing was painful.
-
Wei Linglong didn't go anywhere these days. Every day she was called to the courtyard by the eldest lady to learn the rules.
She didn't know what had suddenly stimulated the eldest lady, and she asked her trusted maid to instill in her some things about sex and childbirth every day.
Lifelike pictures, lifelike statues, and all kinds of cool clothes...
Wei Linglong blushed with shame every day.
This evening, the nanny beside the eldest lady brought another brocade box.
Wei Linglong knew what was inside before she even opened it. She lay on the bed and said breathlessly, "Aunt, please tell my mother that I am not feeling well today and cannot go to her yard. When I recover, I will go and apologize."
"Madam, don't forget to take the medicine sent from the kitchen."
The nanny politely left.
When he walked out, he glanced at the beautiful woman lying on the bed and sighed slightly.
This little princess is also a miserable person. She has no mother, married from such a faraway place, and has a bad relationship with the young master.
The nanny took Wei Linglong's words back and reported them to the eldest lady verbatim.
The eldest lady looked at the newly painted nail polish and said casually, "Okay, let her rest today. I only realized it later. Her mother passed away, and no one must have told her these things. No wonder she and Yu'er don't live in harmony..."
"Yes, our eldest lady is truly kind-hearted, like a fairy descending from heaven."
the other side.
Wei Linglong, who was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, immediately got up from the bed as soon as the nanny walked away, and looked very energetic.
She lifted the veil and changed into a casual dress.
"Que'er, I'm going out."
Que'er was also worried that her princess would get sick from being bored, so she said worriedly, "Then Your Highness must come back soon."
Wei Linglong nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back soon!"
After saying that, Wei Linglong went to find the leader of her secret guards and asked him to use Qinggong to take her out.
It was dusk and almost evening.
Wei Linglong came to the teahouse holding "Lan Yu"'s cloak.
The people in the teahouse hurriedly sent someone to inform Nangong Yu.
I was afraid that if I was a moment late, this little beauty would run away.
That young master will skin them alive!
