The dim back

Zhang Yulu was very surprised. When she just walked back to Yiren Villa, she saw Zhang Fengxue running out from inside.

Zhang Fengxue grabbed Zhang Yulu's hand and said, "Sister, I don't know why, but my father insisted that I go to Yujiabao to be a mistress. How could Yu Cailian be the mistress?"

Zhang Yulu found it incredible: "Father treated you like a treasure, how could he sacrifice you?"

Zhang Fengxue also felt very excited: "This is what I don't understand. My father clearly didn't agree before and hoped that I could marry a better family through formal matchmaking, but today he said that he can fulfill my wish and let me get along well with Yu Cailian in the future."

Whenever Zhang Yulu thought of Yu Cailian's scheming, she felt nervous.

Zhang Yulu, even though she knew that she was not her father's biological daughter, she still cared about her sister.

Zhang Fengxue saw Zhang Yulu standing there hesitantly, and pulled Zhang Yulu inside.

Zhang Fengxue opened a cabinet in his room, took out a box, and said to Zhang Yulu carefully, "Dad secretly gave me a box and told me not to tell anyone, including you, but I always feel that there is something wrong with this box."

Zhang Yulu suddenly understood: "Could this be the box everyone asked me to find? What's in it?"

Zhang Fengxue shook his head: "This box is locked. My father told me that the key is in the right place. Even if someone gets it, there is no way to open it."

Zhang Yulu looked at the lock and knew it was a combination lock: "I didn't expect people nowadays are so smart that they can think of a combination lock. What is the combination?"

Zhang Fengxue thought of a solution: "Blacksmith Zhang in the west of the city may be able to open it. Let's go and take a look."

Zhang Yulu thought it made sense: "Then let's go and take a look and see what clues it can give us."

The two sisters came to the blacksmith Zhang's house and saw a dark-skinned, burly man who was knocking on the iron sheet and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Yulu said seriously: "We want you to help us open a lock."

Blacksmith Zhang looked at the box in Zhang Yulu's hand, then at the lock, and said, "I'm sorry I can't do this. This is a thousand-year-old lock. My master once told me that any lock in the world can be opened, but this lock must never be opened."

Zhang Fengxue was a little anxious: "What is in here? Why can't outsiders see it?"

Zhang Suojiang sighed: "Since you don't understand what I said, there is no need for me to explain it to you. You two should just wish for the best."

Zhang Yulu always felt very strange: "Logically speaking, we have the same surname. Does that mean we are from the same clan?"

Zhang Fengxue also felt strange: "So you are from our Zhang family, then why are you here to unlock the door now?"

Zhang Yulu felt that things were definitely not as simple as she thought: "What secret does this lock hide?"

Zhang the locksmith coughed and said, "You should ask your mother. She was really blind to choose your father just because she was pregnant with you at that time. She found a random man and married him. She thought your father was an honest man, but she didn't expect that he was actually a bandit."

Hearing what Zhang the locksmith said, Zhang Yulu felt a little embarrassed: "How could you say such a thing? I felt my heart pounding these past two days. It turned out that this was what was waiting for me. What does this have to do with my mother?"

Zhang the locksmith began to tell Zhang Yulu: "Your mother is a person who is refreshing no matter what she says or does. It is because her family has this craft passed down from generation to generation. The person she liked at first was me. Who knew that after all these twists and turns, it would end up in your father's hands?"

Zhang Yulu looked at Zhang the locksmith in front of him in shock: "But my father is very good to me, not like what you said, you are clearly trying to sow discord."

Hearing what Zhang Yulu said, Zhang the locksmith coughed and said, "I have said what I should say. If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do. As for this lock, I will not open it no matter what you say."

Zhang Fengxue was a little anxious: "I don't know why my father asked me to protect this box. The things inside should be very important. Since no one can help but open it, it is just like trash."

Hearing this, Zhang the locksmith told them: "You two sisters are still young. Some boxes cannot be opened. It is impossible to bring disaster to you."

Zhang Yulu began to analyze: "The reason why Yiren Villa is so well-known must be that it has something special. The secret must be in this box."

Zhang Fengxue recalled a legend: "There is one thing I forgot to tell you. My father told me that if this box is opened, the villa will be razed to the ground."

Zhang Yulu only now realized the importance of the matter: "No wonder Lin Xuefeng made such a request. It seems that he hates us. Could it be that he has already known that the Lin family's massacre was related to my father?"

After hearing all this, Zhang the locksmith began to tell the two sisters: "Brother did something extreme at the beginning. It was because the villa was not making enough money at the time that he robbed the Lin family's property. He entered the Lin family and started burning, killing and looting, leaving one person alive."

Zhang Yulu finally understood: "So, Lin Xuefeng was pretending to get close to me just to avenge his family."

Zhang the locksmith nodded: "You may be thinking too much. I'm afraid Yujiabao is also involved in this matter."

Zhang Yulu finally understood: "Everything happened in a flash. I really felt like I had no strength left. Let's just forget it."

Hearing what Zhang Yulu said, Zhang Fengxue had her own thoughts: "Father has always disagreed with my marrying into Yujiabao. I think they must have had a dispute back then. What happened that made Father suddenly change his mind?"

Zhang Yulu looked at the box and said, "It may be related to the things in this box. Thinking back to the time when she robbed the Lin family, the Queen Mother also wants to get this property now. I think this thing must be very important."

Zhang the locksmith told Zhang Yulu: "Your words surprised me. Logically speaking, things are relatively simple. If there are some things that should not be done, then don't do them."

Zhang Locksmith's words were meaningful. Zhang Yulu sighed, "Why do you treat me like this?"

Zhang the locksmith looked at Zhang Yulu pitifully and said, "No one knows who your biological father is. But I have a clue for you. He should be the prime minister of the current dynasty."

Zhang Yulu was surprised: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't have any evidence, or you will be held accountable."

Zhang the locksmith shook his head: "Your mother told me this herself when she was drunk one time."
