Lin Ze observed these spirit cards, but did not find any clues.

"President Mu, what's the problem?"

Mu Jingchen moved his eyes to the top spiritual position, and analyzed: "Generally, the ancestors' spiritual positions enshrined at home are arranged in order of seniority from top to bottom, but when I checked Tian's family tree just now, I found that the generational arrangement of two spiritual positions was incorrect. .”

He stepped forward, picked up the two spirit tablets with disordered generations, and put them back in their original places.

Boom_

With a mechanical sound, these spirit tablets moved down by one centimeter in sync, as if they were embedded on the table.

Lin Ze was surprised: "The mechanism is really here!"

Mu Jingchen touched the spirit card that had turned on the mechanism before, and turned it gently.

Sure enough, the wall behind the tablet table moved slowly, revealing a dark secret passage.

Seeing this situation, Lin Ze immediately said: "I'm going to wake up my brothers and go to the secret road together to save Madam!"

Before Mu Jingchen could speak, he had already trotted out of the room.

Looking at the secret path where he couldn't see his fingers, Mu Jingchen couldn't wait any longer.

It was almost dawn, and Liyue had been missing for more than ten hours, and he couldn't wait to know her safety.

So, he picked up the candle on the table and entered the secret passage alone.

……

the other side.

Huangfu Liyue leaned against the iron fence, wondering if Jing Chen already knew that Cheng Cui had brought her to this ghostly place.

If he knew, he must have been on his way to find her.

While meditating, she heard footsteps behind her.

Judging from the time, it should be that Cheng Cui came back from collecting herbs.

She immediately pretended to be weak and kept yelling that her stomach hurts.

Cheng Cui put the boiled medicine outside the fence, and said impatiently: "Stop screaming, the medicine has been cooked for you, hurry up and drink it!"

She reached out to the fence and motioned for her to be untied.

Cheng Cui was a little annoyed, but she still passed the candle and burned the rope in her hand.

Thinking about it, she was locked up here, unable to play tricks.

After her hands were free, Huangfu Liyue stretched out her hands from the iron fence, picked up the medicine bowl, and drank it in an extremely uncomfortable position.

Cheng Cui watched her from the sidelines.

Watching her take a bowl of medicine, she immediately asked, "How is it? Is your child okay?"

Huangfu Liyue exhaled, stroked her lower abdomen and said, "My body is weaker than expected, and a dose of medicine may not have much effect."

Cheng Cui's expression changed immediately.

"What do you mean? Deliberately tricking me?"

"you misunderstood."

Her voice became weaker, and she said slowly: "I have been locked up here by you, how dare you play with you, you are also a mother, you should be able to understand my feelings, I just want to keep the child in my stomach."

Seeing her earnest words, Cheng Cui said, "Tell me, what else do you want me to do?"

"One bowl of medicine is not enough. If possible, can I trouble you to cook another bowl in two hours?"

Huangfu Liyue raised her eyes, her eye sockets were slightly red, as if she was really afraid of losing her child.

Cheng Cui had never seen her like this before, and thought she was really worried about the child in her belly, so she didn't doubt it in her heart.

Besides, mother and baby must be perfectly healthy before she gets what she wants.

So she complied.

"It's okay to cook medicine, but if you dare to play tricks with me, I will make you and your child die a miserable death!"

Huangfu Liyue said weakly: "I can't even get out of this door, how can I play tricks? Besides, Scutellaria baicalensis is only a medicine for preventing miscarriage, so what tricks can I play?"

Cheng Cui thought about it carefully, yes, it's just a bowl of medicine, she can't play tricks.

"Okay, you have a good rest, until I get what you need from you, I don't want any more problems with your body."

Leaving these words, she left here holding a candle.

When the footsteps disappeared, Huangfu Liyue's expression returned to normal.

The reason why she proposed to drink another dose of medicine was to provide Wu Guixiang with an opportunity to help her find a way out.

It's just that she didn't know if Wu Guixiang could be trusted.

……

At this moment.

Wu Guixiang was wandering back and forth in her residence.

She still can't digest the information that Huangfu Liyue told her before.

Although her mother-in-law was usually a little bit cruel to her, she couldn't imagine that her mother-in-law would do such an outrageous thing.

This deepened her fear of this mother-in-law.

"Guixiang, why are you wandering back and forth? You haven't told me what you saw when you went out. Is that girl still here?"

"what?"

Tian Jingui put his hands on her shoulders, and she almost cried out in fright.

Tian Jingui questioned: "What's wrong with you, you seem to have seen a ghost, what did you see?"

"me……"

She hesitated and couldn't tell why for a long time.

Everyone knows her husband better than she does. If Huangfu Liyue told him what Huangfu Liyue said, he would definitely say that Huangfu Liyue was trying to deceive people, and he would never believe that his mother was a vicious person.

Seeing her hesitating, Tian Jingui urged, "What did you see, tell me!"

After hesitating, she tentatively asked, "Jingui, what will you do if you find out that Mom has a problem?"

"Mom has a problem? Are you confused!"

As she expected, he couldn't listen to anything bad about his mother-in-law.

Therefore, no matter what she said, he would not believe it.

"Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything."

Tian Jingui was in a hurry, and asked: "I asked you what you saw when you went out before, why did you gossip?"

"I did not see anything."

"Then you should have said it earlier, wasting my tongue!"

After speaking, he returned to the bed and lay down lazily.

Wu Guixiang hesitated to speak.

Looking at such a husband, I feel that life is becoming more and more hopeless.

She couldn't help but think of what Huangfu Liyue said before.

If the mother-in-law is arrested, the whole family will be involved.

If she wanted not to be implicated, she could only rely on herself.

At this time, Cheng Cui came to the door holding a candle to check if they were staying here.

Seeing that they were all there, she raised her foot and prepared to leave without saying a word.

Wu Guixiang seized the opportunity and walked to the door.

"Mom, where are you going?"

Cheng Cui replied angrily: "It has nothing to do with you, just stay here."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Wu Guixiang plucked up the courage to stop her.

"mom!"

"what happened again?"

"I'm really bored here, my back hurts from lying down, and I want to go out to get some air."

Fearing that Cheng Cui would not agree, she added: "I heard that mood is also very important if you want to conceive quickly, so I want to go out and relax."

These words really hit Cheng Cui's weakness.

Cheng Cui thought about it for a while, and said, "I'm just going to pick some herbs, you can go out with me."
