"So what other surprises do you have that I don't know about?" Bring them all out! Let the sudden wealth come even more fiercely!
She always felt that there was something even more magical in Helan Ruizhe's secret room.
He gave her a "watch it" look and twisted the button again. A door opened in the wall behind the table. Behind the door was a staircase, the same passage as when they came down.
"Go up and you'll find the exit, which is a secluded alley outside the East Palace wall." Helan Ruizhe told her, "Any minister or prince of high status would build a secret room in their mansion when they built it, which of course also serves as an escape route."

Jin Suting's expression was puzzled. Helan Ruizhe always acted like he liked her very much, but the stronger and more passionate his love was, the more uneasy she became.
