Chapter 230

What justice does grandfather want to recover for his aunt?

And... Why did grandfather mention him in front of his late aunt?

Is it because my grandfather mentioned the Wu family foundation just now—— He is the grandson of the Wu family and is naturally closely tied to the foundation of the Wu family.

That's a reasonable explanation

But Wu Tsung still vaguely felt that there was a trace of unusual emotion in his grandfather's hazy tone.

He subconsciously wanted to hear more to distinguish, but there was no sound in the inner room for a long time.

When the old man's voice sounded again, it had become particularly calm and distant.

"I remember when you were eight years old, when you saw that I was injured, you held me and cried. You also asked me when the war outside would be over, and asked me if I could stop going out and close the door... No more questions..."

"After that, once you woke up from a dream in the night and it was snowing heavily, so you ran outside the courtyard where your mother and I lived and stayed all night without letting anyone pass..."

"The second time I stayed there all night to beg your mother and me to promise you to marry Dingchen... That time, I was softer than your mother."

The old man spoke slowly about his daughter's childhood and life.

Although Wu Tsui didn't hear what he wanted to hear, his mood became heavy with these words.

Grandfather was always dignified and calm in front of people. He was like a mountain. No one could shake a penny, but he was less human.

Although he also knew that his grandfather was not as cold as it seemed, he was really like the father of an ordinary family tonight. He missed his early dead eldest daughter and slowly recalled the things before her death. He really saw him for the first time.

It can also be seen from these words that Grandpa must have loved his long aunt who died early.

However, this kind of love is mostly buried deep and easy not to be revealed——

Just like coming here, you will only choose the night that no one knows.

So after about half a column of incense, Wu Jun just left.

After a while, the gate was locked again from the outside, and the silence and darkness were restored everywhere.

Wu Tsung came out of the side room silently.

Just for a moment, he wanted to stand up and ask his grandfather all the confusion in his heart on the spot.

But it's just a moment's impulse.

If Grandpa really hid something from him, he would not tell everything truthfully because of his words at this time.

There will also be trade-offs here, even if you are your own grandparents and grandchildren.

He still respected and was willing to trust his grandfather, but he had to keep his thoughts.

He had to find out what he could find out before he really alerted his grandfather - at least, he had to find out whether there were any so-called secrets in the Qizhen yard tonight.

Only when he knew more about it and explained it to his grandfather and faced his grandfather's reaction could he have more ability to distinguish.

Thinking of this, the boy went into the inner room.

The torch in his hand lit up again, and he saw the picture hanging on the wall almost at a glance.

Think this is my aunt?

Just now, my grandfather should be talking to himself to this portrait.

Wu Tsui subconsciously looked at the portrait. Under the dim lights, on the yellow paper, the girl in the age of cardamom was dressed in pink and green clothes, fresh and beautiful.

She leaned against a cane chair, behind which was a clump of thick green plantains, holding a book in her hand, with a smile between her eyes and eyebrows.

Wu Tsui was distracted for a moment, and a strange feeling slowly rose in his heart.

In this inner room, the furnishings of the owner were obviously preserved. On one side was the woman's dressing table. In addition to the dowry and other things, there was also an expensive and rare mercury mirror on the table.

The boy moved his eyes to the mirror and looked at the reflection in the mirror. The feeling became stronger and stronger——

He seems to have something in common with the person in the painting.

However, there is nothing too strange about the resemblance between aunts and nephews.

Thinking like this, but his eyes still involuntarily fell back on the portrait.

The next moment, he took two steps forward and raised his hand to pinch the edge of the right half of the drawing paper.

Really wrong

Just now he noticed that the edge of the drawing paper seemed to be different from other places. At this time, there was an obvious sense of wear and thinning.

Wu Chiu held the edge and slowly lifted the drawing paper.

The next moment, the eyes can't help changing slightly.

... there should be an organ here!

He touched the wall brick that was obviously going to sink down, and sure enough, he noticed the trace of mechanism art.

The mechanism on the wall is mostly the entrance to the basement.

Wu Tsui didn't hurry to do anything. He just put down the drawing paper and turned out of the house.

He knocked quickly at the hall door.

This light and fast knock on the door was slightly awakened around the silence, but it did not have much penetration and would not spread too far.

Xiao Qi, who had been guarding in the dark outside the hospital, heard the code agreed in advance and immediately turned into the hospital.

"Childe -"

"Come with me."

Wu Tsui took the man into the inner room and opened the mechanism behind the portrait.

Xiao Qi was a little surprised.

Childe secretly explored his house and found a secret room—— This is the "surprise" of a big family. You know, when he was picked up and adopted as a child, he knew clearly where there were mouse holes and ant nests in that family's home.

Just because I knew it clearly enough, when I was beaten by the couple many times and wanted to escape, I could run along the dog hole.

"Stay here. If anyone comes, hide immediately." Wu Chiu ordered, "if you don't see me out in a quarter of an hour, follow me in."

Now we can't rule out whether Sui Shan colluded with others and set this trap to deliberately lead him in——

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to check it immediately, but first brought Xiao Qi over for contingency.

Although it is unlikely that someone in the Wu family can reach out to the Qizhen courtyard, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.

"Yes."

Xiao Qi responded. Seeing that the mechanism was closed in front of him, he immediately summoned up his spirit and paid attention to the movements around.

In the narrow corridor at the entrance of the secret room, Wu Tsung was on alert and went deep step by step.

The line of sight gradually widened, and even a candle lamp remained in it.

Looking around at the furnishings and realizing the usefulness of the secret room, Wu Tsui stopped.

This is not so much a secret room as a residence.

There are not only tables and benches, but also a bookshelf behind the book case with pen and ink, which is densely lined with books.

Quite a bit of concise elegance.

There is also a six fold green bamboo screen——

There was obviously someone behind the screen.

Even long breathing sound

Is a living, sleeping person.
