Wang Gongzi and I looked at each other and walked over together.

Wang Gongzi protected me behind him, took the lead and walked down, I followed closely behind.

We walked down the stone steps one by one.

The steps were a bit narrow, Wang Gongzi's back almost blocked my entire body, I could only pinch his clothes and move forward.

After walking for a while, the front became open.

Just as I was about to step out, Wang Gongzi reached out and pulled me back behind him.

A voice rang out: "It's really you, you bastard."

It was Wang Daren, his furious voice contrasting greatly with his usual demeanor.

I hid behind without making a sound.

Wang Gongzi didn't take his words to heart: "Bastard? I'm a bastard, what about you? What about the thing inside that coffin?"

"You..."

Before Wang Daren could retort, Wang Gongzi continued: "Unfortunately, your precious dead son even had his name taken by me. Even in death, you dare not mourn for him, and you still can't even enter the ancestral grave."

"You..." Wang Daren, angry and trembling, "Bastard, I knew you were here for revenge. I shouldn't have been softhearted and left you back then."

I listened to Wang Daren's words silently, furrowing my brows, feeling something strange.

Wang Gongzi remained composed: "Revenge? Heh, yes, I'm here for revenge. Your precious son brought you wealth, alive he supplied you with gold and silver medicinal herbs, dead you have to toil for his ghost marriage."

"How dare you compare yourself with my eldest son, you lowborn offspring!" Wang Daren furious.

The more I listened, the more wrong it felt, why would Wang Daren despise his other son so much, even after the death of his eldest son?

Wang Daren's insults continued: "You, a lowly woman, just like your mother, both born of lowly origins."

"Shut up!" Wang Gongzi spoke sternly, "You are not worthy to mention my mother."

Seemingly hitting a nerve with Wang Gongzi, Wang Daren looked pleased: "What's the matter? Are you afraid, afraid I'll reveal your identity? Let me tell you, you shouldn't think that you'll be the only heir in the future. If it weren't for Yue Zhi's early departure, you wouldn't have the chance to live until now."

I frowned, my mind a mess, a guess on the verge of emerging.

"You, a lowly woman, just like your mother, born lowly." Wang Daren's words rang out the next moment.

A shocking secret exploded in front of my eyes.

The conversation we had in the inn this afternoon flashed in my mind.

The faint strangeness that had been bothering me suddenly became clear.

Why did Wang Daren dislike the younger son of this pair of twins so much, even after the eldest son's death?

Why did Wang Daren go all out, using the younger son as a shield for the eldest son, to protect the eldest son's life?

Why did the Wang Gongzi always try to protect those concubines with all her might?

I almost bit my tongue, because she was not really a Wang Gongzi, who would have thought that the famous "Sai Pan'an" Wang Gongzi of the Wang family was actually a woman.

So everything she couldn't do, had to do, had to say, had to hide, all made sense at this moment.

Just because she was a woman.

This news was like a lock, unlocking all the hidden doubts and strangeness in my heart.

I looked at the slightly trembling figure in front of me, without time to think, I felt a surge of courage in my heart, rising straight to the top of my head, and I spoke out loud.

"Wang Daren, you have been cruel for nearly twenty years, do you really think that with Bao Lian Xuan, you can have heirs again?"

"Who?" Wang Daren did not expect someone else to be here, and was surprised, taking a few steps back.

I walked out from behind Miss Wang.

The layout of the secret room also became clear to me.

On both sides of the secret room were placed two coffins, the one on the right was very small, the coffin slightly damaged, while the one on the left was extremely extravagant.

Further away on the stone platform, lay a person, motionless, it was Elder Sister who had been changed into a bright red wedding dress.

Elder Sister, I tightened my grip on the sleeve.

"Third Miss of the Liu Family?" Wang Daren recognized me, but didn't expect to see me here, he laughed angrily, "Well, you both have come together, Liu Han really gave birth to a good daughter."

Miss Wang dragged me aside, I didn't move, just looking coldly at Wang Daren.

After a while, he realized what I had said, his face flushed.

"What nonsense is this? What Bao Lian Xuan?"

I sneered, "Do you remember the maid Mei Xiang?"

He widened his eyes, "You..."

I guessed right, as long as they found the real Mei Xiang, they would soon recognize my identity, but to keep the secret, Bao Lian Xuan would definitely not disclose this to others. Wang Daren's initial question probably just felt familiar to me.

Miss Wang also regained her composure, stepping forward, "You did not expect, the capital has long had its eye on Bao Lian Xuan, thanks to you leading the way."

Wang Daren could no longer remain calm, his face trembling.

"Bao Lian Xuan sent people to try to capture Third Miss Liu, those people have been taken care of by me, and now, they are locked up in the capital's prison.

"Father, you and I can settle our accounts together now."

Wang Daren completely collapsed, roaring, he rushed towards us.

Miss Wang pushed me aside, kicked Wang Daren in the chest, causing him to fall to the ground.

Miss Wang rushed over, grabbed his collar, lifted her fist and started hitting.

"My mother's account, my account, the account of those women who died in my room, the account of Liu Xiangrou, the account of Liu Xiangying, and the account of the children in Bao Lian Xuan, I will settle them all with you."

Liu Xiangrou, the name of the second sister.

I quickly ran to the side of the second sister, she was breathing steadily, just in a state of unconsciousness, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I pulled the already somewhat crazy Miss Wang away.

Miss Wang also gradually regained her senses, stepping quickly to check the coffin of Wang's wife.

"Yes, this is the coffin." Miss Wang gently touched the coffin, and said nothing more.

"Wang Gong... No, Miss Wang, you..." I tried to comfort her, but fell silent when my gaze fell on the dilapidated coffin.

Miss Wang's hand slowly brushed over the coffin, then she shifted her gaze to me, and said, word by word, "Qingyun, my name is Qingyun."

Qingyun, Qingyun...

I looked up, the wind favoring force, sending me up to Qingyun, these were the words of Xue Baochai!
