Zhen Wanwan put the pendant away and looked at Lü Yunshen curiously. She had never seen this person before, nor had she heard Zhu Yuan mention him.
It's always best to be cautious in everything.
"What's your name? Which of my husband's subordinates do you work for?"
Lu Yunshen breathed a sigh of relief. Zhen Wanwan's question meant she believed him.
Thinking about this made him angry. As a member of Zhuyuan's think tank and a friend, how could Zhuyuan be so wary of him?
Even his own mistress was unwilling to introduce him. Luckily, he was clever enough to find some evidence to prove his identity.
"My name is Lü Yunshen. I am currently serving in the military camp and rarely leave the camp, so I have not yet met Madam."
Zhen Wanwan responded with an "oh," and the wariness in her eyes lessened a little.
In this situation, she naturally hoped that someone she knew could take them out.
Didn't you see that Old Master Cui and Old Madam Cui already need to support each other to walk?
"So you came here specifically to pick me up?"
Lu Yun Shen nodded calmly. He had learned from various sources that Zhu Yuan respected his wife.
He finally got a chance to curry favor, how could he possibly let it go?
"Indeed! This place is enclosed and poorly ventilated. Please, Madam, come with me and leave as soon as possible!"
Zhen Wanwan hummed in agreement, not wanting to stay there any longer.
Let's go!
It must be said that with Lü Yunshen leading the way, their journey was much smoother, and they did not encounter any obstacles when they turned corners.
Most importantly, she felt that the air was much more comfortable.
Zhen Wanwan didn't say anything, but kept the matter to herself for the time being, planning to ask about it after they went out.
After about two incense sticks' worth of time, Zhen Wanwan and the others finally saw light, which meant they had finally entered the city!
Cui Jinyi felt a surge of excitement, and at the same time, she couldn't help but look at Zhen Wanwan's back.
From the conversation between Zhen Wanwan and Lü Yunshen just now, Cui Jinyi vaguely guessed that Zhen Wanwan's identity must be extraordinary.
However, there are still some things she doesn't understand, and she can only wait to find the answers in the future.
For now, she needs a place to settle down; her grandparents can no longer cause any trouble.
Once outside the secret passage, Zhen Wanwan realized that this place was unfamiliar and different from the places she had left before.
Seeing Zhen Wanwan's question, Lü Yunshen explained, "This secret passage was later modified by the Prince of Anqing. It has many mechanisms inside, and each exit is different."
"A secret agency?" Zhen Wanwan gasped. How come she didn't know about this!
She's watched a lot of TV dramas; those traps and mechanisms are incredibly dangerous if you touch them!
A cold sweat broke out on her back. Ignorance is bliss! She knew nothing and just barged in like that. How could she be so reckless…!
Lu Yunshen was completely unaware of the reason behind it; he only assumed that Zhu Yuan had already informed Zhen Wanwan about the mechanism.
Little did they know that Zhen Wanwan had made it through danger without incident thanks to the all-powerful exploration device in her hand.
"Indeed! Madam, do you know that the mechanism of this secret passage was built by the Cui family patriarch? Who in the world does not know his mastery of mechanisms?"
Lu Yunshen sighed, "It's a pity that his descendants are now dead... I'm afraid the Cui family's secrets will never reappear in the world."
In a corner where no one was watching, Cui Jinyi's eyes kept changing, and her hands clenched into fists!
Unexpectedly, this secret passage was actually the work of the Cui family. Old Master Cui's eyes flashed, for the Cui family patriarch they were talking about was his father's master.
Master Cui had no children and only his father as his disciple. The two depended on each other for survival, and Master Cui treated his father as his own son.
Because these descendants all followed the surname of the ancestor Cui, they were once extremely popular.
However, this popularity, in the chaos of the times, led to the tragic massacre of their entire family.
The family was reduced to just the two old men and their daughter, Cui Jinyi.
When he heard someone mention Old Master Cui again, Old Master Cui's eyes were filled with sorrow.
"What's wrong?"
