Chapter 349 The Imprisoned Liu Se
Hu Xiner held her breath and walked carefully through the corridor. The further she went in, the more different the decorations around her became.
The originally rough stone walls gradually turned into wood, but there were still no patterns on them.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a faint light finally appeared in front of them, and Yin Li's expression became increasingly heavy. Hu Xin'er didn't ask any more questions, as she thought Yin Li might not want to say anything.
She secretly raised her guard and was prepared to see bloody and dark scenes.
The cartoonist's developmental thinking gives her a richer imagination than ordinary people.
Even if what she saw was a vampire nest or a skeleton cave, she didn't think she would be too surprised.
But when the scene at the end of the corridor appeared before her, she was still surprised.
At the end of the corridor, there were no bats, corpses, skeletons, or sea of blood as imagined... but it looked like a house belonging to a lady from a noble family!
The candlelight on the shelf illuminates the entire room brightly.
The bed is decorated with hollow frames decorated with flowers and birds, and a gauze curtain is hung diagonally with golden hooks. The faint smell of incense is light and pleasant. It is the Yunluo incense that is worth a thousand gold and is also the incense commonly used in Lanxin Garden.
Next to the bed is a rosewood dressing table, and not far in front of it is a round wooden table.
A woman was sitting at the table with her back to the corridor, drinking tea, and on her wrists were a pair of shackles!
She had her long hair tied up and was wearing a light purple dress. Judging from her tall posture and elegant temperament, she was a beauty.
At least that's what it looks like if you look at the back.
Hu Xiner frowned, her mind full of thoughts.
What kind of person would be imprisoned in a dark cave and yet be treated so well?
Could it be someone like Old Master Liu’s concubine?
It's impossible. The first and second houses simply don't have the ability to restrain Old Master Liu. No matter who he likes, there is no need to imprison him here.
Is he a spy or a spy? No, people like him should just be thrown into jail, unless...
As Hu Xin'er thought about it, she was embarrassed by her own wild thoughts.
It's impossible that Old Master Liu, at such an old age, is still writing about a tragic love story, imprisoning a substitute lover underground and engaging in a forbidden love affair, right?
She tried hard to get her mind back to normal reasoning. Could this woman be related to the Lu family's tragedy?
Could it be that the evidence is in her hands?
At this time, the woman seemed to hear footsteps and turned her head to glance at them indifferently. She was not surprised at the appearance of Hu Xiner and others. She just raised her index finger to her lips and made a gesture of silence.
When Hu Xiner saw her face clearly, her pupils constricted as if struck by lightning!
Because this mysterious woman actually looks very similar to her!
It’s just that due to her age, her face has some traces of time. The fine lines at the corners of her eyes and the loss of collagen make her not as cute and lovely as Hu Xiner.
Her originally round almond-shaped eyes should have added a bit of childishness and innocence to her whole person, but the coldness and fatigue in her eyes completely covered up this layer of childishness, leaving only indifference.
She was indeed a beauty, but according to common sense, she should have been dead.
"She..." Hu Xin'er turned her head stiffly.
Yin Li seemed to have anticipated this situation. He sighed slightly and whispered in her ear, "Yes, she is your mother, Liu Se!"
Hu Xiner opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Liu Se, is this the original owner’s mother?
But didn't she run away from home? Hadn't the Liu family been searching for her for so many years?
Why was she imprisoned here? This is the Liu family's basement!
Moreover, the note clearly stated that the truth behind the Lu family tragedy was inside the basement, but now it seemed that it was just Liu Se’s prison cell!
Could it be that Liu Se holds the key clues to the Lu family tragedy?
Or, does she have something to do with the Lu family tragedy?
Or is she actually the real murderer of the Lu family tragedy? !
Oh my god, it can’t be so bloody, right?
Thinking of this, Hu Xiner took a breath of cold air, and the hundreds of melodramatic and abusive love stories she had read in her previous life flashed before her eyes.
If the mood could be embodied like an anime scene, then right now there must be heavy rain, lightning and thunder overhead.
Her whole body was petrified in the spot amid the mournful sound of the erhu.
It's over, these were the only three words in her mind.
"I should have thought of this earlier." As her thoughts gradually diverged, she couldn't help but shed wide-noodle tears. "Amnesia, falling into the water, a handsome man falling in love with me, a complex royal family struggle... Isn't this just a script for a sadistic ancient novel?"
Ten thousand alpaca horses galloped through her heart.
She was wrong, she was really wrong. Even when Yin Li suddenly confessed her love to her and she discovered the true function of the magic pen, she only thought that this might be a Mary Sue script.
However, she overlooked one thing. It's not just Mary Sue stories that are melodramatic, there are also sad stories!
If the truth of the matter was really as she imagined, then her mother had joined forces with the prince to kill the Lu family, and she could only be pregnant with Mu Qing's child and become one of Mu Qing's enemies!
"No!" Hu Xiner shook her head vigorously, throwing away her 180 ways of tragic love death.
She mustered up her courage and was about to ask for the truth when she suddenly heard some noises.
Yin Li reacted very quickly and immediately pulled Hu Xiner, who was still in a daze, into the dark.
He seemed to be very familiar with this place, so he hid in the blind corner without any hesitation.
Just when the two had hidden their tracks, a clicking sound was heard from the opposite wall, and a secret door opened.
The man who came out had a hunched back and was full of literary grace, with an infinite tenderness in his eyes and brows.
Hu Xiner clenched her fists tightly to prevent herself from making any sound. This person turned out to be Old Master Liu!
It was Old Master Liu who personally imprisoned his daughter in this place!
Old Master Liu was leaning on a cane, and there were no other servants around him except Butler Liu.
Butler Liu opened the food box in his hand, took out the dishes and placed them on the table one by one.
Old Master Liu rambled on, "Se'er, Daddy is a little late today. The eldest wife is arguing endlessly about Qingyi's matter, and it's giving me a headache."
"You are so old, why do you care about them?" Liu Se continued to drink tea calmly.
Old Master Liu was choked, but he wasn't angry: "Xin'er is pregnant, don't you really want to go out and see?"
"Then let me out." Liu Se's eyebrows did not move.
Old Master Liu felt both distressed and disappointed with his daughter: "Dad didn't want you to stay in this hellish place? It's just..."
Liu Se turned to look at him and said word by word: "I want to go out."
Anger suddenly surged in Old Master Liu's eyes: "When you can completely give up this thought, I will let you out!"
