Chapter 232 Backyard Cellar

Old Master Lin ignored her and just sat on the armchair with a gloomy face, closing his eyes and resting.

Old Madam Ye winked at her and pulled her sleeve, signaling her to hurry up.

Only then did Ye Mingya reluctantly follow them to rest with the old housekeeper.

"Miss cousin, this is still your room."

Old Madam Ye stood at the door and looked at the furnishings in the room. It was still the same as before, and she couldn't help but wet her eyes again.

Everything seemed like a dream. More than half a century had passed, and the house she had lived in in the Lin family was still the same.

And her mother's old house in Tongnan was gone.

Several brothers were not in Tongnan either.

Old Madam Ye walked in slowly.

Looking at the rouge and powder she used in the past on the dressing table, they were still the same.

The old housekeeper said softly, "Miss, every day, Master Lin asks the servants to clean this room carefully."

Old Madam Ye smiled bitterly, feeling mixed emotions. The

old housekeeper said softly, "Miss, please take a rest. If you need anything, just let me know."

After that, he left and

went back downstairs.

He walked to the side of Grandpa Lin and asked softly: "Grandpa, what should we do now? My cousin came to ask for medical advice, which was really sudden. Could it be the work of the Pei family or the Di family?"

Grandpa Lin smiled coldly: "It is definitely not the work of these two families, otherwise why would they go to such great lengths? And my cousin may not be willing to compromise for them and come to me. I am afraid it is the girl beside her who is causing this. She will only do anything for the sake of her relatives with the surname Ye."

The old housekeeper thought for a while and said: "My cousin's granddaughter was once engaged to the boy from the Di family, but when the boy from the Di family could not stand on his legs, the Ye family unilaterally broke off the engagement. Now that the boy from the Di family can walk again, she regrets it and wants to be with him again."

"But the young man from the Di family probably has no place for her in his heart, and prefers the girl from the Pei family. Old Master, do you think it is possible that the granddaughter of my cousin knew in advance that the young man from the Di family and the girl from the Pei family came to Courtyard No. 8 and did not go back, so she asked her grandmother to come forward to save them on the pretext of seeking medical treatment? Didn't Miss Pei also say that she could cure my cousin's illness?"

Listening to his well-reasoned analysis, Old Master Lin nodded unconsciously.

"That's right, my cousin will only come to me for the Ye family. Alas! How can she hurt me like this!"

Old Master Lin slammed his fist on the table, and the cup on the table jumped up and rolled to the ground, making a harsh breaking sound.

"Old Master, what do you think we should do now?" The old housekeeper asked softly.

Old Master Lin snorted coldly: "What else can I do? My cousin has come to me begging for help, how can I refuse? Besides, if she can't help the granddaughter surnamed Ye to do what she wants, won't her situation in the Ye family be even more difficult? Since the death of the Ye family, she has been isolated."

The old housekeeper nodded unconsciously and agreed: "That's true, so should we release the girl from the Pei family? She has been locked up for these days, and I don't know..."

Old Master Lin sneered again: "If she is dead, she is not her anymore."

The old housekeeper was stunned when he heard this, but then he thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

Old Master Lin waved his hand impatiently and sighed: "You go and do your work, I'll be quiet. From now on, no one is allowed to open the door, including Old Man Di."

The old housekeeper agreed and left.

Master Lin sat on the armchair, closed his eyes and pondered for half an hour, then he got up and went out.

The old housekeeper hurriedly followed him: "Master, what are you

doing..." Master Lin glared at him fiercely: "I'm going to take a walk in the backyard, why are you following me? Go and take care of my cousin, and do your best to meet your instructions, as long as they don't go out."

The old housekeeper hurriedly agreed.

Master Lin came to the door of the cellar in the backyard alone.

The dumb guard saw him coming, then took out the medicine spoon from his body and opened the cellar door.

Master Lin raised his thumb to him, then took out a small wine jar from his body and handed it to him. When

the dumb guard saw the wine jar, his eyes lit up, he took it with both hands, and thanked him babblingly.

Old Master Lin waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

Dumb carried the wine jar and left.

Old Master Lin walked into the cellar.

Pei Zhiwan heard the footsteps, and she and Di Chen were originally lying together with their eyes closed to rest.

Since being locked up here, she had nothing to eat or drink, and had nothing to do but sleep.

She opened her eyes alertly.

Di Chen also moved his body, opened his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Someone is coming."

Subconsciously, he pushed Pei Zhiwan behind him, trying to protect her.

Pei Zhiwan felt warm in his heart.

These days, they have been spending their days together in the cellar, and they have talked a lot.

She talked about her childhood, of course, those were all the childhood of the original owner.

He talked about his childhood.

Pei Zhiwan knew for the first time that although Di Chen seemed cold and decisive, he was actually very sensitive and even soft.

He also longed for the love of his father and mother, but his parents died in a car accident, leaving him and his sister without parents and family warmth. Although their grandfather tried his best to protect them, there were always times when he was not around, and they were bullied by their uncles, brothers, aunts, and sisters-in-law.

Once, Di Chen fell ill with a high fever.

His aunt actually used cold water to cool her down, which was a deadly and stupid method. If not done properly, it could kill people or even leave them with brain damage.

Fortunately, he used all his strength to push his aunt down, climbed out of the cold well water bucket, and struggled to crawl to his grandfather's study, where he fainted and died. He saved his life.

He was only six years old that year.

From then on, he knew that only by becoming strong and risking his life could he scare those who wanted to bully him and protect himself and his sister. Otherwise, they would be fish on the chopping board and be at the mercy of everyone.

After the high fever, everyone said that Di Chen had changed.

He became as scary as a devil, and no one dared to mess with him.

Only Di Chen himself understood.

Why did he think so?

Even though he was as scary as a devil, he was still plotted by Di Huainan. He almost became a cripple in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, or even a short-lived cripple. The position of the heir to the Di family that originally belonged to him was also taken away by the evil man.

Fortunately, he met Pei Zhiwan.

The more Pei Zhiwan understood Di Chen, the more she felt that she was very similar to herself.

In adversity, he either died or forced himself to become strong and make all those who wanted to harm him jealous.

But at this time, Pei Zhiwan was not worried about who came in the cellar, because she had already made plans in her mind and knew that things were done.

She subconsciously held Di Chen's hand, motioning him not to be nervous.

Di Chen's body stiffened, and then he understood that she was comforting herself, and held her hand tightly with his backhand.

The two of them faced the footsteps that were getting closer and closer.

"You two little kids are really strong."
