Chapter 381: Yama's Life-Calling Guillotine
"nonsense!"
When Tu Huan heard the older woman's urgent words, she couldn't help but move her body and prick up her ears to listen carefully.
A faint, desperate sigh.
The young woman said dejectedly, "If this is exposed, my child and I will die. Mother Wang, I really don't know where I can go."
Tu Huan suddenly realized that the woman who gave her advice late at night was surnamed Wang.
"Women already have a hard time living in this world, and I... I'm in this situation too. Others are pregnant, and their status is elevated by their children. But what's in my belly? This is the guillotine of the King of Hell!"
A suppressed sob sounded in Tu Huan's ears.
She felt uncomfortable hearing this.
She heard the woman surnamed Wang patting her gently, and sighs were heard continuously.
Tu Huan was a little anxious. "Don't just cry, what happened?"
Although she had vaguely guessed the other party's identity, she didn't know the inside story without close observation. Even someone in the corner could hear it, so how could she hear it all? She was stuck in the middle, unable to sleep.
This girl is pregnant, yet so unhappy.
Tu Huan felt that this was definitely not as simple as Han Qiguang and Xie Yuchuan understood.
At this time, I don’t know whether Han Qiguang has returned.
She listened first before speaking.
Perhaps because her desire to understand was too strong, the young woman finally stopped complaining and remained quiet for a while.
"Girl, drink some water to moisten your throat."
"Okay, thank you, Mother Wang."
"Well, it's my blessing to be able to serve you, young lady. If you hadn't protected me that day, I would have been beaten to death by the people in the mansion, and I wouldn't have been able to survive these days. So, Miss Yu, you are still young and have a long life ahead of you. Don't be foolish here. When you have children in the future, maybe life will be better."
Tu Huan couldn't help but open her eyes when she heard the sound of drinking water. She stood up and took two sips. She also grabbed a handful of candy beans from the snack box on the table and continued listening.
"If I could really look forward to that day, that would be fine. But I'm afraid I, Yu Ji, won't be lucky enough to see that day."
"No, Miss Yu has a kind heart, is blessed with a long life, and will be rewarded."
"Mother Wang, I want to turn over and sit up. Can you help me?"
"Be careful, come, I'll support you."
After a lot of panting and struggling, the pain in my ear finally healed.
Tu Huan understood. The younger one, named Yu Ji, was pregnant now. She might be the "wife and children hostages" held by Wan Lichun in Yu Mansion as Han Qiguang mentioned. The older one should have been a servant in Yu Mansion. He must have received Yu Ji's favor and saved his life, so he stayed by Yu Ji's side to serve her.
She had the system search everyone in the mansion during the day, and after a round of searches, she found that there were more than one or two pregnant people in the mansion. Including the master and the maids, there were more than a handful of people who knew the month of pregnancy and those who didn't even know they were pregnant. It was said that there were many secrets in the mansion. To be honest, if Tu Huan hadn't used the power of technology, she would have had no idea.
On the surface, this mansion is well-behaved and upright, and looks extremely wealthy.
The Yu family is indeed a prominent family in Yucheng.
Tu Huan took a look around and was deeply touched.
The voice in her ears was unfamiliar, but she tried to find it among the faces she had seen before. It seemed to match vaguely, but there was also a feeling of difference.
Soon, the voice beside her gave her the answer.
"Maybe I slept too much during the day and my body is tired. Now it's late at night and I can't sleep."
Tu Huan heard the young woman say this.
There was a picture that flashed across Tu Huan's memory.
"Girl, let me peel some fruit for you."
"Thank you, Mama Wang. Please prepare two of these so we can eat together."
"That won't do. Master Wan had to work so hard to send such a valuable item here. He brought it here personally. If it had been brought here by someone else, as in the past, the Madam might not have let it go."
"What he gave was also stolen from others, what's the difference?"
Tu Huan raised her eyebrows, now she was sure.
This girl named Yu Ji is Wan Lichun's woman.
She opened her eyes, sat up straight, and immediately opened the system interface. "Tongzi, help me determine the exact source of this sound."
She was not satisfied with just listening to gossip from a distance, so she planned to go to Yu Ji and see it with her own eyes.
System: [OK, host, please wait.]
Soon, the system found Yu Ji's specific location and sent the coordinates to Tu Huan, and asked kindly:
[Does the system need to assist the host to reach the coordinate location? ]
"good."
*
It was a cold and gloomy house surrounded by stone walls on all sides, with only a few oil lamps on the wall. From what one could see, the space was not small, but it seemed long and narrow and cramped. The cold stone walls even reached above one's head, making one feel very depressed.
At least that's how Tu Huan felt when she was sent here by the system.
She looked at the place illuminated by the lights, where there were simple tables, chairs, benches, and some daily necessities. It didn't look like a normal house at all, and there wasn't even a window. But after walking a few steps inside, she saw some seemingly valuable things piled up in the suddenly open living space.
Tu Huan couldn't help but frown, "Where is this place in the Yu Mansion? Why is it like this?"
The system replied: [Underground of Frost Courtyard, right below the host's villa.]
"Huh?" Tu Huan was stunned. "Under my house? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
[The host has not made such a request before.]
Tu Huan: “…” It was definitely intentional!
[It is located deep underground and is one of the hidden rooms in the Yu Mansion.]
Tu Huan was even more surprised. "One of the secret rooms? Does that mean there are other secret passages in the Yu Mansion?"
Yes, there are authentic ones.
Tu Huan looked back at the two short dark red wooden doors behind her when she came in. The system reminded her in her ear that the doors were wrapped in iron sheets and locked.
"So Yu Ji and the servants who take care of her are imprisoned underground every day?"
The system does not express an opinion on the relationships between humans.
Tu Huan suddenly appeared in the underground secret room, and the master and servant living in the room were completely unaware.
Tu Huan saw a young woman with a bulging belly, sitting on the bed by the wall. In front of her was the woman who was sitting on the edge of the bed taking care of her. The master and servant were chatting casually.
Tu Huan could see that although the furnishings in the basement were simple, the things used by the young woman all looked like fine items. The brocade quilts and gorgeous clothes, as well as the bowls, chopsticks and tea sets on the table all looked quite exquisite.
Those daily necessities seemed somewhat out of place with the other regular items in the basement.
It seems that the other things were brought in later.
Tu Huan frowned deeply. How could a pregnant woman live in a place like this?
