However, with her elder brother around, Shen Jiao is unlikely to escape this time.

Shen Qingye said, "I'm afraid only Yu'er would think that way. If only that little ingrate would be less of a worry. Alright, alright, I'll take Yu'er's advice and go for a nap. Yu'er, don't be too sad. Even if Shen Jiao doesn't acknowledge you as her sister, you still have your second brother."

"Yes, Second Brother, go quickly."

Shen Qingye returned to his room, intending only to take a short nap, but he passed out as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Shen Yu bent down and gently called her second brother, but received no response. She immediately tiptoed out of the room and closed the door.

She listened intently, holding her breath. There were hardly any servants in the courtyard, and there was basically no movement.

They quickly determined the direction from which the cries for help were coming.

The cries for help were intermittent and very weak.

He silently followed the sound.

To her surprise, the sound was coming from the room next to hers!

But there are no houses next door at all; apart from some ornamental flowers and plants, there's no way anyone could live there.

Shen Yu looked around twice before finally fixing her gaze on the wardrobe in the corner.

She slowly approached.

"Help, help me..."

He murmured, a slight chill running down his spine.

Yes, the sound source is right here.

Shen Yu clenched her fist under her sleeve and subconsciously looked around. Apart from her, there was no one else.

She placed her hand on the metal ring on the wardrobe, opened it forcefully, and her expression suddenly froze.

There was a girl inside, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

To be precise, it should be called—

Human pig.

Chen Yu was terrified. In a panic, she stuffed the rag that had fallen on the ground back into the pig's mouth, slammed the wardrobe shut, and ran away.

This scene was also witnessed by a pair of eyes in the shadows, who soon disappeared.
