It was already an hour later when Huo Juan came out of the study. He glanced at the empty sofa and asked, "Where is Su Yusheng?"

Nanny: "Miss Su said she is homesick and wants to go home for a few days."

Huo Juan nodded and went to the army again without thinking too much.

On the other side, Su Yusheng did not go home, but sat in Gu Yao's car.

Gu Yao asked: "Sister Yu Sheng, is there something wrong with calling me out in such a hurry?"

Su Yusheng grabbed her with frightening force: "Yao Yao, you must help me this time."

Gu Yao was startled, "Sister, I'm driving. Don't get excited. Talk slowly when you get to the place."

They found a random cafe, and Su Yusheng directly told her what she had heard about Shen Geng's disappearance.

When Gu Yao heard this, she felt secretly happy. Sure enough, the bitch will be punished by God.

Then she changed her mind and asked, "Sister Yu Sheng, what do you mean by telling me this?"

Su Yusheng clenched and opened her fists repeatedly: "What if I want her to never come back?"

Gu Yao was shocked: "You...you want to?"

Su Yusheng's eyes flashed with malice: "Yao Yao, I know you are related to the Qinghu Gang, can you help me?"

Gu Yao denied it, her eyes flickering: "You... what did you say? I don't know the Qinghu Gang."

Su Yusheng's expression was sincere: "Yao Yao, think about the humiliation Shen Geng has suffered for you, don't you hate it?"

"I……"

She was persuasive: "The Gu and Su families are cooperating. As long as you do this favor for me, I will ask my father to put pressure on the Gu family. Are you still afraid that you will not have any shares in the Gu family?"

This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for Gu Yao, and she said with a heart: "Okay, I'll help you."

-

Shen Geng had been staying in the woodshed, and someone brought hot food in. This time the meal was no longer sour. Shen Geng guessed that Mrs. Chu was helping him.

After eating to replenish some energy, she heard that there was no movement at the door. Today, all the guards at the door were called to drink tea by Mrs. Chu.

Shen Xian climbed out of the window. The window was not low, but fortunately she still had some skills on her body, so it was not difficult for her.

This place is very big, and the layout is like a maze. People who are not familiar with it have no idea how to get around. It didn't take long for Shen Geng to get lost.

She looked up at the sky. The door was high and the wall was deep, the sun was blocked, and everything was gloomy.

If she failed to follow the direction of the sun, she could only follow her feelings. After walking around a rockery, she stopped and saw a fork in the road in front of her. She chose the left.

A large plum forest appeared in front of us, and the large red plum trees were blooming as brightly as blood. The red plum blossoms blooming this season are so weird no matter how you look at them.

Taking a step forward, Shen Ji couldn't help but shiver. The temperature here was completely different from the temperature just now. It was very cold. Looking closely, the ground was covered with artificial snow. No wonder plum blossoms were growing there.

As she walked through the plum forest, a very exquisite small house appeared in front of her. The appearance of the house was very exquisite, and the carved beams and paintings could not be exaggerated.

There is a cross iron frame in the open space in front of the house. The iron frame is covered with rust. You are stroking the cold iron frame with your fingers.

The moment her skin touched the iron frame, it felt as if she had been pricked by a needle. She felt inexplicable discomfort and withdrew her hand, feeling a sense of suffocation for no reason.

She staggered back a few steps, looked at the small house in front of her, and then at the endless red plum trees behind her, feeling panic rising from the soles of her feet to her head.

Strange, why does she feel familiar here? It's obviously my first time here.

Shen Xian looked at the iron frame again. This iron frame seemed to have been here for many years, and she couldn't tell what it was used for, but she felt that this iron frame was used to tie people up.

A strange picture floated in her mind. She seemed to see a little girl being tied to this iron frame and being severely tortured. The blood flowed down the iron frame and dripped on the snow, like a blooming flower. A red plum blossom.

Her steps were a little soft, and everything in front of her became unreal. The house in her eyes became different from now. The house was covered with thick snow, and a woman sat in front of the window. She looked out, with a look in her eyes. Unconcealable sadness.

Shen Xian wanted to reach out, but the woman disappeared like a bubble, as if it was an illusion.

The sadness in the woman's eyes made her heart feel uncomfortable.

Shen Xian looked at Hongmei, and she seemed to see a sea of ​​fire, with the fierce light and the sound of wind.

She felt that this place was originally a sea of ​​fire, and there shouldn't be red plums here.

Shen Xian felt that she was crazy. She shook her head desperately to shake away the shadows in her mind.

The small house is still a small house, and the plum garden is still a plum garden, without the woman and without the raging fire.

Shen Ji felt that everything here was very strange. She quickly returned to the fork in the road. This time she took the right side.

As I was walking, I heard the sound of opera that had been sung all night last night.

Following the voice, Shen Geng arrived at a very elegant small courtyard. If the courtyard just now was coquettish, then this courtyard was elegant.

The surrounding corners are full of orchids, full of life.

The sound of opera came again, and this time it reached her ears particularly clearly.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a stage set up under the flower vines over there. At this moment, a woman in costume was singing gracefully in the middle.

Through her movements, expressions, and the words she barely heard, Shen Ji guessed the general content of the play, about a man who abandoned his wife and children after becoming the number one scholar.

The play is over, the song is over.

There seemed to be a faint hint of the ending tune that the woman had just finished singing in the wind, and it continued to sing.

"Does it sound good?"

Shen Xian looked around and determined that the woman was talking to him.

She didn't answer, but the woman said to herself: "It must be pretty good. In so many years, you are the first person to hear me finish singing."

She slowly walked off the stage and approached Shen Geng: "Who are you? The new lady?"

The woman in front of her was dressed up for singing, and her true appearance was covered up by thick layers of makeup.

Shen Xian felt that if she took off her opera costume, she would have a very good-looking face.

"I'm not the madam... I'm the new maid. I accidentally got lost." She lied casually.

The woman looked at her, but Shen Xian found that her eyes were not on him, but on the orchid behind him.

"That's it." She spoke in a very soft voice: "That's right, I'm just saying, how can anyone want to listen to me singing?"

Shen Geng comforted: "No, you sang very nicely."

"Really?" Her expression lightened up for a moment, and she seemed very happy.

Shen Xian asked tentatively: "Do you know the way out?"

She said happily: "I know, come with me, I will take you out."
