Li Xueluo was almost suffocated by Duke Lu.

His body kept twisting and struggling, and his hands were flailing around randomly.

She now thought of saving herself, so she kept groping on the bed, hoping to find an object that could deal a fatal blow to the Duke of Lu.

Just as she was groping around, she accidentally touched a mechanism beside the bed.

With a loud bang, the wall inside the bed cracked, and a secret passage appeared in front of Duke Lu.

Duke Lu was completely stunned, and he loosened his hand that was pinching Li's neck.

Li Xueluo was free and kept breathing in the fresh air.

"What's here?"

Duke Lu pointed at the secret passage and asked Li Xueluo.

"You...you, what you saw is a secret passage."

Li Xueluo knew that the secret passage had been discovered by Duke Lu and she had no secrets left, so she simply went all out and confronted him directly.

"Someone...someone come"

The Duke of Lu roared.

"The little one is here"

Two servants came in from outside in a panic.

"Tie this bitch up"

Duke Lu pointed at Li Xueluo and said.

The two servants who came in looked at each other, thinking they had heard wrongly.

"What are you still standing there for? Tie up that bitch for me?"

The two servants were sure they had heard correctly, and hurried forward to tie Li up with ropes.

"Ouyang Ze, you old bastard, let me go, let me go"

Li Xueluo completely lost control and no longer cared about her image as the mistress of the house, and started cursing.

"Shut her mouth"

The servant quickly brought a piece of cloth and blocked Li Xueluo's mouth. The world suddenly became much quieter.

"Paths"

Qianmo just jumped out from the darkness.

"Light a candle and follow me down to take a look."

"Yes"

Qianmo quickly lit a candle and jumped down the dark secret passage first.

"You two should keep an eye on her. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible."

"Yes"

After instructing the two servants, Duke Lu followed Qianmo into the secret passage.

The secret passage was narrow and dark, with faint light flickering on the walls.

Duke Lu and Qianmo walked along the winding passage, and the ground creaked with every step.

It was eerily quiet, with only the sound of their breathing echoing in the air.

As he went deeper into the secret passage, the Duke discovered a door in front of him.

He pushed open the door and was shocked by the sight before him.

In the corner of the secret room, he saw a familiar figure.

That was his long-missing wife. Her face was haggard and her eyes revealed endless sadness.

Both his legs and hands were broken, and his eyes were blind, but his face could still be recognized. It was the long-missing Wang Leyao.

Wang Leyao felt someone coming in, as if she was used to it.

He said weakly, "Li Xueluo, what are you going to do to me now?"

"Every time the one in the palace is unhappy, I ask you to torture me. Don't you know that over the years, whenever you torture me, it is also the happiest time for me, because I know that the one in the palace is unhappy again."

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

Wang Leyao felt that something was wrong when no one answered her for a long time.

"You are not Li Xueluo, who are you?"

Duke Lu walked forward quickly with trembling hands and hugged Wang Leyao tightly in his arms.

"who are you?"

Wang Leyao was trembling all over and asked again with a slightly hoarse voice, as she was trembling with fear.

"Le Yao...it's me. You have suffered a lot over the years." Duke Lu's voice was choked with sobs.

"Are you Ouyang Ze?"

"Yes"

"What are you doing here? You are as vicious as that Li, you both want me dead."

"Are you here today to personally send me off?"

Duke Lu let go of the hand that was holding Wang Leyao, placed his hands on her shoulders, and carefully observed the woman who had made him feel guilty all his life.

"Let me go...you bastard"

However, her hands and feet could not move, and the only part of her body that could move was her mouth.

"Le Yao, I don't care what misunderstandings you have about me. I will take you out now and explain to you later."

"I'm not leaving. If you want to kill me, just kill me right here. There's no need to move around and waste space."

"How could I bear to kill you? I came to save you. I really didn't know that you were imprisoned here by that bitch. If I had known earlier, I would have let you out long ago."

"I won't believe you. You and them are birds of a feather. Stop pretending."

"Le Yao...what do I have to say so that you can go out with me? Don't you want to see your daughter?"

"daughter..."

When Duke Lu mentioned his daughter, Wang Leyao no longer rejected him and began to think about what the man in front of her said.

After a long while, Wang Leyao spoke in despair.

"I'm sorry Ling'er. If I go out like this, it will only cause trouble for Ling'er. Just kill me. Don't let Ling'er know how humble her mother's life is."

"Wang Leyao, I know you hate me, but you can't impose your hatred for me on the child. The child has done nothing wrong to you. She just wants to have a mother by her side. Can't you fulfill her little wish?"

Wang Leyao remained silent and no longer argued with Duke Lu.

Seeing that she agreed, the Duke of Lu bent down and picked up her in tattered clothes without caring whether she agreed or not.

Wang Leyao was surprisingly quiet this time. She let Duke Lu hold her and walked out of the secret passage.

“Hmm…Hmm…Hmm.”

"what sound?"

Wang Leyao could hear other voices nearby.

"Take the cloth off her mouth"

"Yes"

The guard came forward and took away the cloth from Li's mouth.

"Wang Leyao, you bitch, if I had known this day would come, I should have killed you with a single blow."

"Are you Li?"

"It's me, your aunt."

"Why don't you just die? You are living a miserable life, worse than a dog."

Li Xueluo kept abusing and insulting Wang Leyao.

"Someone... shut her mouth again."

"Yes"

The servant came forward and covered Li Xueluo's mouth again.

"Le Yao...I'll take you back to your yard first and give you a bath. I'll explain to you what has happened over the years?"

"Yeah...Okay."

When Duke Lu saw that Wang Leyao agreed, he picked up Wang Leyao and went straight back to the courtyard where Wang Leyao used to live.

Duke Lu called the maid to carefully clean Wang Leyao's body. At the same time, he sent someone to the Regent's Palace to report the news.

Ouyang Miaoling, who received the letter from the State of Lu, was extremely excited for the original owner.

Her mother is still alive and well.

Ouyang Miaoling didn't even have time to say a word to Nangong Mingxuan before she took Siyu back to the Duke's Mansion.

"Daddy...where is my mother?"

As soon as she saw Duke Lu, Ouyang Miaoling asked anxiously.

"Your mother is in the room. Please wait here. When she has finished cleaning up, she will call you in."

"Your mother has suffered a lot over the years. Let's give your mother some time to slowly accept it."

"Okay... Daddy, I'll listen to you."

Just then there was a voice at the door.

"Daddy...Daddy"
