Sun Qiuguo has been here several times before, but the old lady didn't want to see him.

"Old madam, what Sun said is related to the uncle. It's extremely urgent!!!"

Sun Qiuguo shouted directly at the door. Although the old lady was older, her cultivation was much stronger than him, so she would definitely be able to hear her.

"Steward Sun!"

Aunt Rong was a little angry and unhappy that Sun Qiuguo disturbed the old lady's Qing Dynasty in such a arrogant way.

The old lady's voice came from the inner hall: "Mother Rong, let him come in..."

"Yes."

The old lady spoke in person, and no matter how dissatisfied Nanny Rong was, she could only let her go.

Sun Qiuguo entered the inner hall and saw the old lady holding rosary beads and kneeling in front of the Buddha statue to chant sutras.

The old lady stopped chanting and said, "Steward Sun, if your uncle has anything to tell you, please tell me."

Sun Qiuguo said hurriedly: "Reporting to the old lady, something went wrong during my practice. Now my situation is critical. I'm afraid I don't have much time left. He wants to see you one last time."

"Nonsense——!"

Mrs. Ye said angrily: "Do you think I will believe you if you tell such a low-level lie?"

She had only seen Tian'er half a month ago. Everything was fine. How could she suddenly go crazy?

"To be honest with you, madam, the uncle had a problem a few months ago, but he didn't let outsiders know about it. He has been suppressing it, but now he can't suppress it anymore..."

Sun Qiuguo's appearance was indeed that of someone who had been on the road all night. Under normal circumstances, he would not dare to see her in this appearance.

Mrs. Ye recalled that one day a few months ago, she suddenly felt uneasy and the prayer beads broke for no reason.

Mrs. Ye clenched her rosary tightly, her voice trembling: "This matter...is it serious?"

"Old madam, how dare I lie to you with such a thing..."

……

On the official road outside Yunzhou City, a carriage came at full speed. The driver was Sun Qiuguo, the chief steward of the Ye Mansion.

When the city guards saw the carriage, they immediately moved the fence, and there were even soldiers on horseback riding ahead to clear the way.

Sun Qiuguo drove the carriage and arrived at Ye Mansion without any hindrance.

Countless people are curious, why is the chief steward of the Ye Mansion so impatient?

Before the carriage stopped, a figure jumped out of the carriage. The spies outside the Ye Mansion couldn't even see the person's face clearly. They could only judge from the clothes that she was probably a woman.

"This breath is..."

Ye Long was practicing in his room and suddenly felt the aura of a first-class master.

It was not surprising that a first-rate master would visit Ye Mansion, but he was very familiar with this aura, and asked doubtfully: "Mother is back?"

Ye Long suddenly couldn't sit still, and flew away with the breath, found the backyard construction site, and saw a hole in the distance.

This hole was something that Ye Yuntian spent half a month digging. Although he didn't go in, he ordered people to ask the workers who dug the hole.

The workers said that it was just an ordinary cave with nothing inside. It seemed that the spring veins were dug out, drying up the hot spring water in the backyard.

Ye Long saw Sun Qiuguo and the old lady entering the cave, and quickly shouted: "Mother!"

It’s just that Mrs. Ye didn’t seem to hear it, or maybe she heard it but ignored it.

Ye Long was about to follow, but was stopped by Jiang Nianqiu at the entrance of the cave.

"Second Master, please stop."

Ye Long warned in a cold voice: "Get out of my way!"

If he hadn't seen that the other party was Ye Yuntian's favored maid, he wouldn't have even bothered to say a warning.

"My uncle has ordered that you cannot go in for the time being..."

"You are looking for death!"

Ye Long's eyes were cold, with a hint of murderous intent, which scared the maid and said quickly: "Second Master, don't you want the old lady to come back?"

"What do you mean?"

"The uncle is trying to persuade the old lady to come back. Please don't go in and cause trouble to the uncle."

Ye Long frowned, how could that bastard do such a thing with his temperament?

But...

What if it’s true?

Jiang Nianqiu took a few peeks and was relieved when she saw that the second master had calmed down. The second master was really determined to go in, but she had no ability to stop him.

……

The cave leads diagonally underground, with several oil lamps hung at regular intervals on the walls, illuminating the darkness with weak firelight.

The light is a little dim, but it is enough for lighting.

"Steward Sun, are you sure you didn't lie to me?"

Mrs. Ye was only concerned at first but became confused. When she came to her senses, the cave revealed a weird atmosphere everywhere.

Sun Qiuguo didn't dare to look back, for fear that the old lady would see the flaw in his expression, so he bit the bullet and said: "Old lady, the uncle likes to practice in dark caves in recent years. We don't dare to move him easily after he has a problem. ."

The sound of gurgling water came to my ears, the underground cave was connected to the underground water veins, and the clear spring water turned turbid and yellowed due to the soil.

As it went deeper, the water level rose and submerged her calves. Mrs. Ye finally saw Gu Hao. He was lying on a raised rock. His body was cold and breathless, as if he was dead.
