Yu Chaoyun’s eyes were dark, but her face was still as gentle and respectful as usual. She advised, “Let’s not be anxious. Our Yu Family isn’t the only one involved in this matter.”
As she spoke, she carefully paid attention to the reactions of Eldest Madam Yu and Madam Yu. She saw Eldest Madam Yu stagger back to her seat.
That’s right. Madam Yu’s eyes widened as if she had just woken up from a dream, and she told herself not to panic.
This matter hasn’t reached a dead end. Our Yu Family isn’t alone and helpless.
The reactions of the two elders confirmed some of Yu Chaoyun’s guesses. Her heart sank again.
Yu Chaoyun bit her lip again and said gently, “Besides, there’s still my Uncle.
With him around, my Eldest Uncle will definitely be fine.”
Madam Yu took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
Yes, she couldn’t lose her composure because of Gu Yanfei.
She was the British Duchess, and she still had the British Monarchy.
The British Monarchy had a large number of troops under its command, so the Emperor would definitely give them face!
Yu Chaoyun picked up the tea that had just been served by a servant and tried the temperature of the tea. She thoughtfully handed it to Madam Yu and said, “Aunt, drink some tea to moisten your throat. ‘
“Are these Embroidered Uniform Guards looking for something?” She carefully probed and looked out of the hall through the window.
Seven or eight Embroidered Uniform Guards were busily using their scabbards to strike and probe everywhere. They carefully searched every place they passed, including pavilions, flowers, wood, and artificial mountains...
Looking at the Embroidered Uniform Guards’ posture, it seemed like they wanted to dig three feet into the ground.
This residence was only their Yu Family’s temporary residence in the capital. Other than her and her uncle, there was only her aunt. Then what else could the Embroidered Uniform Guards find?
Madam Yu also followed Yu Chaoyun’s gaze and looked out of the hall. Her pupils constricted slightly. She also realized that the Embroidered Uniform Guards seemed to be looking for something.
Madam Yu and Eldest Madam Yu didn’t speak. Occasionally, they would look at each other uneasily.
Yu Chaoyun asked carefully, ‘Will my Eldest Uncle be alright?”
Madam Yu raised her eyelids, and her cold eyes met Yu Chaoyun’s probing gaze. Of course, she understood what her niece was thinking. She sneered and said, “Yun’er, don’t forget that your surname is Yu.
“If the Yu Family is in trouble, you will be punished together!”
“I’ve taught you since you were young. You have to remember at all times that no eggs are perfect when the nest is overturned.”
‘You’re not married yet!”
Madam Yu’s words were like knives stabbing at Yu Chaoyun. Yu Chaoyun’s expression instantly turned ugly, and her lips turned pale from her biting.
Yu Chaoyun wanted to defend herself, but under Madam Yu’s clear gaze, any defense seemed so weak.
Another series of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall. A square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guards quickly ran towards He Lie, who was standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He shouted excitedly,
“Commander, it’s done!’
“Second Lady Gu has already calculated it!”
Upon hearing the Embroidered Uniform Guards mention Gu Yanfei again, Madam Yu almost jumped up from her chair, but she could only sit still and try to calm down.
The square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guards who came to report whispered into He Lie’s ear. He Lie nodded slightly and suddenly turned to look at Eldest Madam Yu and Madam Yu. He happened to look at Madam Yu from afar.
Beads of sweat appeared on the back of Madam Yu’s neck and soaked through her inner clothes. A thought that made her tremble came to her mind. Could it be...
Eldest Madam Yu also thought of the same place as her. She called out in a trembling voice, “Second Sister!”
The two felt a chill run down their spines, and their limbs went numb.
After He Lie instructed the square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guards, the square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guards shouted, “Leave four people to guard here. The rest of you, follow me!”
The Embroidered Uniform Guards, who were originally searching the courtyard, heard the commotion and came over. They all followed He Lie towards the northwest of the residence.
Madam Yu, who was in the back hall, lost her composure and stood up from her chair. Her body hit the coffee table beside her, but she didn’t notice it.
He Lie and the others didn’t care about what the Yu Family thought. They went all the way to a rockery in a small garden on the northwest side of the Yu Residence.
The square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guards shouted, “Search carefully. Don’t miss a single corner. Second Lady Gu said that the secret room is in the rockery.”
The Embroidered Uniform Guards were all experts in searching. They immediately spread out and landed in a corner to search the fake mountain.
“Found it! Found the mechanism!’
“There’s a secret door here..”
