This was not the first time Chu Ci came to the study, but he had never found a secret door in the study.

She got up and curiously walked towards the secret door.

There is a step inside. Looking down, it seems that there is no end in sight, and it is pitch black, as if it is about to swallow people up.

Chu Ci felt a chill on his back, swallowed his saliva, and plucked up the courage to go down the steps.

It was very deep and wide below. If she remembered correctly, it should have reached directly under the hall.

Ruan Yulin built such a dark cellar under the hall, and the entrance is in the study. What is the purpose?

Chu Ci looked around with a flashlight and found the light switch. There was a click. When the entire room was illuminated and she could see the scene in front of her clearly, she was stunned.

The ground was filled with U.S. dollars and gold bars, sparkling and very eye-catching.

The walls are covered with famous calligraphy and paintings, and the antique shelves are filled with priceless collections.

Why would Ruan Yulin put a lot of cash here?

Chu Ci found a drawer, she opened it and saw a mutilated photo inside.

To be precise, it was deliberately cut into pieces.

There are three people in the photo. They are wearing small suits. The one who is about ten years old should be Ruan Yulin.

This is a family portrait of the second elder of the Ruan family and Ruan Yulin, but now the heads of the second elder have been cut off, leaving only Ruan Yulin.

What was originally a happy family portrait now looks scary.

Who cut off the second elder’s head?

Chu Ci thought about it carefully and found that since she returned to the Ruan family, she had never seen a photo of the two elders of the Ruan family at home.

It's scary to think about it.

Why did Ruan Yulin do this?

Suddenly, Chu Ci heard Uncle Zhong's voice above his head: "Miss, you are back. The second lady has been in the study the whole time."

It turns out that the sound in the hall can be heard in this dark cellar.

"Tang Qing didn't come to see her?"

"No."

"I'll go upstairs and take a look."

Chu Ci quickly put down the photo, quickly returned to the study, and closed the secret door.

Chu Ci was still undecided when Ruan Yulin opened the door and walked in. She put down the book in her hand calmly and said, "Sister, you are back. How is the Ruan Sen matter resolved?"

"The man has been completely ruined. The second uncle's lineage has been cut off. The two families are now fighting each other." Ruan Yulin took off his coat and walked to Chu Ci: "What book are you reading?"

"Zizhi Tongjian." Chu Ci picked it up from the bookshelf just now.

Ruan Yulin nodded: "Yes, read more books and cultivate your character. You, your temperament is not calm enough."

"Sister, I want to know how you asked Ino to attack Ruan Sen, and what happened in the hotel that night?"

This doubt has been lingering in Chu Ci's mind for several days.

"You want to know?" Ruan Yulin smiled softly: "Xiao Ci, do you know why Ino is willing to work for the second uncle? Do you think she really wants to marry the Ruan family? Or test me?"

"Then what you mean..." Chu Ci suddenly realized: "Yinuo also came here for the treasure. The Yi family and the second uncle must have reached some kind of agreement, so they joined forces with the intention of finding the treasure from you, but they didn't know

, in fact, there is no treasure at all.”

"Yeah." Ruan Yulin sat down: "It's a pity that I broke my roots after accompanying my wife and broke my roots. At that time, I took a call and went out. When I came back, I found Ruan Sen sneaking into the room and talking to Yi

The promise was evil and such a tragedy happened."

As soon as the front foot left, Ruan Sen entered with the back foot. The door of the room was closed. If it was Ruan Sen, then Ino would definitely not open the door. So how did Ruan Sen sneak in?

Ruan Yulin didn't say this, but Chu Ci was filled with doubts.

The thing seemed simple, but it seemed that someone was manipulating it. Chu Ci thought of what An cellar had seen, and she did not ask further questions. She was not stupid, so how could she not know that Ruan Yulin was manipulating it.

It's just that she didn't want to believe it before. Ruan Yulin was indeed cold-tempered, but the Ruan Yulin she knew shouldn't be so cruel.

Compared with Ruan Yulin, she does lack a bit of courage.

Seeing Chu Ci staring at him, Ruan Yulin frowned: "What's wrong? Are you worried?"

Chu Ci pursed his lips and said: "Sister, I have been back to Ruan's house for so long, and I have never seen photos of my parents at home, nor have I gone to worship at their graves. I want to burn some paper money for them and tell them that I am back.

, to comfort their spirits in heaven and let them rest in peace.”

"My parents didn't like to take pictures when they were alive. After I came back from Germany, there were no photos at home." Ruan Yulin looked as usual: "If you want to pay homage to your parents, then go ahead tomorrow. I really didn't think carefully enough about this matter."

"Okay." Chu Ci wanted to see something from Ruan Yulin's face, but found nothing. Could it be that she was too sensitive?

"By the way, sister, I want to visit a friend. Something happened to her before and she committed suicide. I'm a little worried about her."

It has been a long time since she visited Lin Lin. Although Lin Feng helped take care of her, she still felt uneasy.

Chu Ci originally thought that Ruan Yulin would not agree, and was thinking about how to persuade Ruan Yulin, but Ruan Yulin readily agreed: "Go ahead and come back early."

"good."

Now that Ruan Yulin is showing off in men's clothing, Chu Ci can only put on women's clothing.

Lin Lin also knew that she was a woman and it didn't matter what she wore.

Chu Ci changed into some casual clothes and drove out.

Tianfu Garden is right next to Yujingyuan, and Chu Ci also plans to go to Yujingyuan to surprise Tang Qing.

But facts have proven that you should never try to surprise others, because reality will probably slap you back, and it will be very painful.

When Chu Ci arrived at Tianfuyuan, he stopped the car and was about to go find Lin Lin, but he met Tang Qing and Mu Qingwan for a walk in the community.

The street lights elongated the figures of the two people, overlapping them together like glue.

Mu Qingwan had a faint smile on his face. The two of them didn't know what they were talking about. They looked very affectionate.

This scene stung Chu Ci's eyes. Even though she knew that Mu Qingwan was blind and that she needed to be led by someone, the two of them might not be who she thought they were, but she still felt uncomfortable when she saw it.

.

The two of them walked towards Chu Ci, and Tang Qing didn't see Chu Ci at all.

Mu Qingwan's eyes were unfocused. Suddenly she let out an ouch, grabbed Tang Qing's hand, and fell into Tang Qing's arms: "My ankle is sprained. It hurts so much."

Tang Qing frowned: "I'll help you sit next to me

Tang Qing tried to push him away from his arms, but Mu Qingwan held him tightly and wouldn't let go.

Tang Qing didn't show any pity for her, he just opened Mu Qingwan's hand, only held her hand and helped her to the bench next to her.

But from Chu Ci's point of view, the two people's posture just now had been very intimate, hugging each other.

The cold wind blew, and Chu Ci's heart was even colder than the wind.

She turned around to leave, but Lin Lin's voice sounded not far away: "You're here."
