C8 He Snuck into the Marquis' Mansion

Just as he was about to step out of the room, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked back into the room. He had a nagging feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't come up with an explanation.

After hesitating for a moment, he left.

Seeing the door slowly close and the footsteps outside the door gradually go further and further away, Lianshuang crawled out from under the bed.

At this time, she did not care about her unkempt hair and dirty face. She ran to the vase with the fastest speed, grabbed the bottleneck with both hands, and twisted with all her strength.

As the vase rotated, the bookshelves were moved away and a deep tunnel appeared in front of her eyes.

Lianshuang's expression was thoughtful for a moment, then she took the candlestick from the table and lit it up, and headed towards the tunnel.

The moment she stepped into the tunnel, the bookshelf behind her closed again.

The cave was pitch black. The dark flame hit the damp stone wall. It was a strange feeling. Although the wind blew in, the candle flame kept swaying.

"Wuuu -" Lianshuang walked step by step towards the deeper part of the cave. The intermittent crying sound drifted into her ears and her pace unconsciously increased a little.

In the damp cell, the four children curled up in a corner. The sound of breathing was followed by a heavy sound.

The clothes that were covered in blood were messy and wrapped around their bodies. With the help of the light from the fire, Lianshuang discovered that the wounds on their bodies had festered and inflamed.

Lianshuang came here to see if she could find any evidence that Shen Wanjun had participated in the kidnapping of children. She did not expect that there would be a cell with four children hidden in it.

She looked around carefully. She had not achieved her goal, so she should leave as soon as possible and not be discovered.

When her eyes fell on the children in the corner, her heart started to struggle again. Should she save them or not?

With her own strength, it was simply impossible for her to escape with them.

But if they were to be left alone here, what awaited them in the next second might be death.

Lianshuang's heart was struggling nonstop. In the end, she could not bear to leave them behind.

Gritting her teeth, this was the last time her heart softened. She persuaded herself like this.

Clenching the candle in her hand, she turned her head and quickly ran deeper into the cave. She was not sure if there were any other passages other than Shen Wanjun's study.

However, Shen Wanjun was a cunning person. This secret room was probably not only used to imprison children, it might also have other uses.

He hid these children here. If something were to happen to them, the secret room would be in his study. Wouldn't he be setting a trap for himself?

Thinking of this, Lianshuang's footsteps quickened. She believed that there must be another exit.

After walking for an unknown period of time, Lianshuang vaguely saw a faint light not far away.

She found it. A trace of gratification flashed across her eyes. She did not dare to delay and quickly turned around to run back. If it was late, Shen Wanjun would have discovered her. Not only those children, but she would also be killed to silence herself.

The cell lock was very firm. Lianshuang used a stone to smash it but could not break it open no matter what.

Under extreme anger, she had an idea and pulled down the hairpin in her hair bun.

The sharp hairpin was inserted into the lock. Lianshuang carefully twisted the hairpin in her hand. Slap -

It was finally opened.

"How are you?" After throwing down the lock in her hand, Lianshuang went forward and gently pushed the child lying on the ground.

At this moment, a black shadow behind her slowly enveloped her and did not have time to dodge. Lianshuang only felt her throat tighten and her breathing was instantly snatched away.

Her small face turned red and Lianshuang continuously struggled.

"I, came, came to save you." The intermittent syllables were squeezed out from her throat and it was a very blurry sound. Lianshuang was not even sure if a very thick person could understand it.

After a moment, she felt the strength of the hand at her throat loosen a little.

"I am here to save you." Lianshuang repeated what she had said just now and finally let go of the hand.

"You really have bad intentions." Lianshuang did not have a good voice and turned around to glare at the boy who almost strangled her just now. She patted the dust on her clothes and stood up from the ground.

The burning pain in her throat made Lianshuang very angry, but she did not have time to get angry.

Suppressing her voice, she stopped looking at the boy and squatted down to help a little girl walk out.

Lianshuang did not hear any movement behind her and her footsteps stopped, "Don't you plan to leave?" Her cold tone and not a trace of emotion could be heard, but it made the boy behind her frown.

After saying that, Lianshuang no longer paid attention and started to move with difficulty again.

It was not that she was weak, but the girl she was holding on to was really too heavy.

After getting the girl out, it was as if all the strength in her body had been used up. She simply sat down on the ground and did not care about what was happening under her butt.

When she saw the boy easily support the other two children out, Lianshuang had a thought in her mind. If she had known that he would easily bring them out, she would have also thrown this girl to him.

"Let's go." As she said it, Lianshuang got up and patted her skirt elegantly. She did not care about the girl who was dragged out by her after so many hardships.

The boy's face stiffened for a few seconds. He looked at his two sides and then looked at the girl lying on the side, his heart filled with regret.

Why did I impulsively pinch her neck just now? Now he wanted to pinch his own neck.

Helpless, he carefully supported the person beside him who had collapsed. He bent down and wanted to pull the person on the ground, but before he could touch the girl on the ground, the three of them fell down together and pressed down on the girl.

"Hiss -" This time, the pressure woke up the person on the ground.

"Get up!" After the girl woke up, she glared at the boy who was pressing down on her with an angry expression. Her widened eyes seemed to spit out raging flames.

The boy's expression sank when he saw the girl's eyes. He swiftly got up. His expression was just like a thousand year old ice.

Lianshuang sensed the activity behind her. She turned around and looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"If there is any deep hatred, we will settle it in the future. If you do not want to be caught again, then quickly leave." Lianshuang frowned and did not wait for the two of them to reply before she started walking again.

She had already saved them. If they still wanted to die, she would not stop them.

When Shen Wanjun came back from Shen Wanliang's place, the secret chamber was opened wide. His heart seemed to have stopped beating. When he regained his senses, he rushed in like a gust of wind. He looked very nervous.

Looking at the empty cell, Shen Wanjun's face was extremely gloomy.

Who could it be?

On one hand, he was furious, and on the other, he was deep in thought.

It was a small matter to rescue a few children, but the person who came was able to barge into his study without alerting a single soldier of the Marquis Estate. He actually knew that there was a secret chamber here, which made him very uneasy. He had a feeling that something even worse was about to happen.
