If it was a coincidence that Xining Jingtian found them, how should she explain Bei Lizhong and Nangong Xiu who had been following her.

Before everything was clear, Su Qingcheng didn't want to have anything to do with the two of them.

It seems that I will keep my distance from them in the future...

After thinking about it, the carriage returned to Xining Mansion. As soon as she got off the carriage, she met Ye Tantai who was about to come out of Xining Mansion.

The two looked at each other and looked away in perfect agreement.

Ye Tantai has been busy in the secret room of Xining Mansion all day today, looking for any clues about Su Qingcang.

But the strange thing is that when we were in Dongling, the intelligence clearly said that Su Qingcang came to Beiyuan. Su Yizhi also said the same at the time. For some reason, the Xining family had no record at all.

Even if Su Qingcang sneaked in quietly like them, after such a long time, people from the four major families are not vegetarians, so it is impossible that no news has been revealed.

I was just afraid that Su Qingcang would encounter some danger.

When he was about to share these things with Su Qingcheng, he found that she was not in the house.

Ye Tantai saw the letter she left on the table and was worried about what might happen if Su Qingcheng went to Yao Mansion. He was about to go find her when he happened to meet Su Qingcheng who was coming back.

Ye Tantai spoke first: "You are back. Do you want to have dinner together?"

Su Qingcheng nodded.

Only then did he remember that Su Qingcheng's throat seemed to be unable to speak.

There are thousands of words in my heart, but I don’t know how to speak them.

He walked carefully to Su Qingcheng and followed her. She was the one who was most distressed when her child was gone.

The two of them were walking on the stone road in Xining Mansion one after another. Su Qingcheng saw his cautious look and didn't know what to do.

If it were in the past, Ye Tantai would definitely stick to her immediately when he saw her.

She didn't think about how to face Ye Tantai.

But she felt at ease only if she stayed with him.

Even if the two of them didn't talk, Su Qingcheng felt at ease being able to be quietly by his side.

You don't have to think about those intrigues, and you don't have to think about whether you approached her with a purpose, that's enough.

"I've been checking up on my father-in-law today."

After hearing this, Su Qingcheng looked up at him, with some hope in her eyes. She also wanted to know where Su Qingcang was now.

Maybe this will unlock the secret about my mother's life experience.

Ye Tantai continued: "But I have gone through the correspondence between the four major families, and there is no news about him. Have you ever heard of any contact between your father-in-law and the Beiyuan people before?"

Su Qingcheng shook her head, but she immediately thought that if her mother was from Beiyuan, then her father might be with her mother's clan?

Is this why he came to Beiyuan this time?

But didn’t the Queen of Dongling say that her mother might be from the Beiyuan royal family?

Could it be that the father and the empress are together?

Impossible, impossible...

Su Qingcheng immediately denied the idea, it was true. It's too outrageous.

Considering that Su Qingcheng could not speak, Ye Tantai specially brought her a portable brush and paper and handed them to her when he came out of the study.

"Just write down what you want to say on it."

Su Qingcheng was moved. Although he didn't know sign language, he still considered everything for her.

She wrote: "Will my father be with my mother's family?"

Ye Tantai tilted his head and looked at it, and said, "It's not impossible. But I've searched for a long time, but I haven't found any information about your mother. Do you know your mother's last name?"

Only then did Su Qingcheng realize that she, a daughter, didn't even know her mother's full name.

"I don't know. My father has never said anything. Since my mother passed away, he has never mentioned my mother's affairs to me."

"So, your mother is probably an important person in the royal family, so her affairs are kept secret so well." Ye Tantai said.

What he actually wanted to say was whether her mother was the twin sister of the empress who had never appeared in Beiyuan.

But considering that Su Qingcheng couldn't accept it, she still didn't say anything.

"Do you still remember that Yu Lan said that she came out with the Imperial Master?" Su Qingcheng wrote on the paper.

"Well, I remember, is there any relationship between this?" Ye Tantai asked.

Su Qingcheng didn't know why she remembered this incident. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that none of this was a coincidence.

"Can you take me to the secret room of Xining's family?" Su Qingcheng asked.

Ye Tantai nodded, he couldn't wish for Su Qingcheng to rely on him.

Although the secret room of Xining's home was heavily guarded, Xining Jianai and Xining Jingtian were not here now, so it would not be difficult for him to bring Su Qingcheng in.

Su Qingcheng followed him to the back mountain of Xining Mansion. This was her first time coming to this mountain.

Although I have lived in Xining Mansion for so long, I have always looked at this mountain and never thought that the secret room of Xining Mansion would be inside this mountain.

"Where do you go in?" Su Qingcheng looked around curiously.

Ye Tantai looked at the towering mountains and said: "These mountains are all secret rooms of Xining Mansion. They are hollowed out and full of mechanisms. You will know when you go in."

Su Qingcheng had worn the clothes of a maid from Xining Mansion before, so she wore the same outfit this time.

She followed Ye Tantai, lowering her head to avoid looking into the eyes of the guard at the door.

The guard stopped him first and said, "Master Ye Sheng of Xining, you are not allowed to bring maids in here."

Ye Tantai said: "I don't feel well today. She is not an ordinary maid. Brother Jingtian is not here. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. She is here to nurse me back to health."

The guard hesitated for a moment, considering that Xining Mansion did have to deal with a lot of things every day, and Xining Jingtian had not appeared for several days.

For the sake of Ye Tantai's safety and the affairs of Xining Mansion, they finally let him go.

Su Qingcheng followed him obediently. Unexpectedly, it looked like a mountain on the outside, but inside it was a maze with layers of traps everywhere.

It looked like there was no way to go. Ye Tantai fiddled with the wall a few times, and another road appeared.

What's more coincidental is that this is a trick that was recorded in the books she read in her previous life.

How could it be such a coincidence?

The layout of the books the old man gave her was exactly the same!

She was still thinking at that time that she had never seen such a layout of institutions in Nanye or Dongling, and thought that these things did not exist in the world and were simply recorded in books.

I didn't expect to see him in the secret room of Xining's house.

The methods of setting up various mechanisms, the direction of Feng Shui, and even the placement of keys...

She suddenly discovered that the book was like a large map of the Xining family's secret room.

There are four such books in total. Could it be that the other three correspond to the Beili, Nangong and Dongyun families?
