Chapter 113 has finally been found!

Wei Ziming hadn't expected her to know about this. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he roared, "You bitch, you think you can escape? Dream on!"

Seeing Wei Ziming's face contorted with rage and madness, Ying'er lowered her eyes and continued, "All I want now is to return to my hometown and live out the rest of my life in peace."

On her way here, she had already figured it out: no matter what the outcome, she was destined to be a pawn.

Rather than that, I might as well fight for my future. Fortunately, I formed a good relationship with that woman.

Thinking back to what she had just witnessed, she clenched the handkerchief in her hand, feeling a sense of relief.

Fortunately, heaven had eyes, and when she came out, she saw Geng Er and the others leading the blindfolded woman into the eldest young master's bedroom.

Pei Yanzhi said coldly, "I keep my word. Lead the way!"

No matter what conditions this person offers, he will agree to any condition as long as he can find Shu'er.

The Wei family watched helplessly as Pei Yanzhi disappeared into the depths of the corridor. The entire Wei residence was surrounded like an iron barrel, and even if Old Madam Wei wanted to leave, it would be impossible.

Wei Ziming sat on the stool, his face pale from excessive blood loss, his eyes slightly closed, the unease in his heart growing stronger.

If he is indeed found, who knows what awaits him next.

Wu Yang followed closely behind Pei Yanzhi. Seeing his lord's robes fluttering and his steps hurried, he couldn't help but pray in his heart that Lady Ji must be inside, she absolutely must be inside.

Ying'er pushed open the door and stood to the side. Pei Yanzhi glanced at her and then walked in.

But as soon as he entered, he glanced around and frowned. The room was empty; anyone hiding inside would have nowhere to hide.

Wu Yang led a few men inside and searched the area before reporting back, "My lord, no one is here."

Ying'er panicked: "I clearly saw Geng Er bring people here, how is this possible? How is this possible?"

Pei Yanzhi's patience had completely run out, and he coldly ordered Wu Yang: "You'd better not lie to me, or you will surely die. Go and bring Geng Er here."

Wu Yang led his men away to carry out the order.

In her panic, Ying'er knelt on the ground: "I did see Geng Er bring that lady here. Could it be that he has moved her to another place..."

But as he spoke, his voice grew weaker and weaker, and he knew in his heart that this was impossible.

The mansion is now completely surrounded; how can they possibly move her elsewhere in full view of everyone?

Pei Yanzhi sat down expressionlessly, coldly looking at the kneeling woman, and said indifferently, "Tell me the whole story of what happened that day."

Ying'er shrank back in fear, carefully recalling the cause and effect before saying, "I saw my husband a few days ago, and the eldest young master seemed to have become a different person. I had never seen him before. He hadn't entered the backyard for several days, and he rarely went out to drink at brothels anymore."

"Until that day, I secretly followed Guard Geng to a library and saw that woman."

After speaking, she paused for a moment, then carefully looked up at the man above. She noticed that his expression softened slightly when he heard that he had seen a woman.

She noticed it in that instant, and was shocked to think that the legendary Marquis of Yan was so fond of a woman.

He continued, "The woman seemed to have a fever. When she saw me enter, she made the same deal with me."

Pei Yanzhi coldly asked, "What deal?"

"She told me that she is actually from a good family, but was forced into this situation by the eldest son. She also has a fiancé waiting for their wedding this month, and if they miss the auspicious time, the marriage may be in jeopardy—"

Pei Yanzhi listened silently.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Ying'er raised her eyes to observe carefully. When she saw the man's fingers suddenly tighten, she quickly continued, "She also said that if I were to do this, I would not only be helping myself, but also helping her."

Pei Yanzhi's eyes flashed with regret, realizing that even while ill, he had to fight for his own survival.

He said in a hoarse voice, "So, she's the one who made you pawn that earring?"

In this way, everything makes sense.

Ying'er nodded quickly, "My lady said that if we just send this thing to the largest pawnshop in Yang County, the matter will be half successful."

After she finished speaking, she mustered up her courage and asked, "May I ask, my lord, how is my maidservant?"

Pei Yanzhi glanced at her indifferently and said condescendingly, "She's imprisoned. If you help me find her, both of you can live."

Ying'er was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed several times.

"Thank you, Lord Xie! Thank you, Lord Xie!"

Wu Yang brought Geng Er inside, shoved him to the ground, and reported, "When I went down there, this kid was about to run away. If he hadn't done anything wrong, why would he run away?" He then kicked Geng Er hard.

Geng Er stumbled and fell to the ground, where Wu Yang pressed him down to kneel.

Pei Yanzhi coldly looked at the unassuming man: "Where did Wei Ziming hide the person?"

The whole room suddenly became heavy, and Ying'er and Geng Er were so oppressed by the atmosphere that they could hardly breathe.

Ying'er rushed over, crying out loudly, "Geng Er, won't you tell me? Do you know who this is?"

"Do you want to implicate your elderly mother and your eldest brother, and have your whole family suffer the fate of being torn apart by five horses?"

Upon hearing the word "old mother," Geng Er was terrified. Torn between the debt of gratitude for her birth and the duty of a servant, he found himself in a dilemma.

Pei Yanzhi raised his hand, and Wu Yang pulled Ying'er, who was throwing herself at him, away. At this moment, the room was completely silent, except for Ying'er's sobbing.

He said, "I promise that I will only hold you accountable for your crime."

Geng Er suddenly looked up and met those unfathomable eyes. After a long while, he finally spoke, "I believe in the Marquis."

After saying that, he pointed to the antique shelf behind him and said, "The person is in the back; there is a secret room inside."

Pei Yanzhi stared intently at the dark room separated by only a wall. He didn't know if he would go in and find that it wasn't her, or if there was no one there at all.

What should he do?

These past few hours have been filled with ups and downs, and he could hardly imagine what lay behind the door.

He whispered, "Go, open it."

Wu Yang stepped forward and circled the display shelf, feeling around for the mechanisms inside. Soon, he heard a soft "click" and the display shelf slowly moved.

A gap opened up in the middle, slowly moving away to reveal a dark and secluded entrance.

Pei Yanzhi was about to step forward without thinking, but Wu Yang hurriedly advised, "My lord, let me go in and scout ahead first."

He waved his hand, and Wu Yang stepped aside.

Pei Yanzhi drew his weapon, and with a wave of his hand, the lock on the door fell to the ground.

It had been so long, so long that he felt he would never see her again in this lifetime. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Looking at the dark and damp entrance, I bent down and stepped into the darkness.
