Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Shen Nanqiao felt that the shock he had experienced that day was greater than that he had experienced in the previous half of his life combined.

In the backyard of the Shen family where she had lived for more than ten years, there was a secret room that she had no idea about.

She had been to Aunt Ma's bedroom several times in the past. She had the impression that this aunt was a vegetarian and chanted Buddhist scriptures, so she would not allow anyone to approach the Buddhist shrine easily.

What I never expected was that it was to hide the secret room behind.

The Buddhist shrine was open to one side, and from the outside, one could only see a small corridor. From the shadows inside, one could tell that the space was not small.

What is hidden?

Shen Nanqiao held his breath and subconsciously clutched the corner of Ning Su's clothes.

"Do you want to go down?" Ning Su leaned over to her ear and whispered, "I can make some noise to lure her away."

Shen Nanqiao was torn between conscience and desire in his mind. He saw Aunt Ma had packed her valuables and was about to go inside.

Will this lead to the Shen Mansion?

Do you want to escape yourself or help others escape?

Why would she run away for no reason? Didn't I just give her the power to run the household?

A series of questions flooded into Shen Nanqiao's mind, making it difficult for him to judge for a moment.

"If you stop her now, you have a good reason." Ning Su calmly gave her advice, "She is a concubine, so how much is her normal monthly allowance? But the valuables in this bundle are worth hundreds of gold, which means that the amount of money she has hidden is quite suspicious."

Shen Nanqiao shook his head.

"When my mother was alive, she was very lenient with her subordinates. Aunt Ma was her maidservant who came with her as a dowry, and she usually gave her a lot of money as a reward." She paused, "Before my mother passed away, she made arrangements for everyone. Aunt Ma also received a sum of money, which is enough for her to live the rest of her life in peace."

"So she had so many opportunities, why didn't she leave all these years?" Ning Su pointed out the problem directly, "Shen Mingde never took her seriously, what reason did she have to endure it?"

"Maybe... it's really to take care of Shen Hong?" Shen Nanqiao took a deep breath and found that he had gradually accepted the fact that Shen Hong might not be his mother's son.

"So, now that she has finally gained control of the family and may even be able to get close to her son, will she leave?"

An idea flashed through Shen Nanqiao's mind.

"So, she's trying to help others escape!"

Before she finished her words, Ning Su had already put his arms around her waist and jumped down lightly from the eaves.

Aunt Ma had already entered the small secret room in the house. Ning Su took off the hairpin on Shen Nanqiao's head and gently opened the bolt. The two of them flashed into the house and carefully locked the door from the inside.

Aunt Ma has disappeared.

Ning Su stepped forward, stood in front of Shen Nanqiao, and entered the secret room first. Then he stretched out his other hand and turned around to hold hers.

"Follow closely."

Shen Nanqiao didn't hesitate at all, and quickly followed, holding the hem of her skirt.

The secret passage is much longer and narrower than it appears from the outside. It looks simple from the outside, but it is a different world inside.

There was also a place similar to a small Buddhist temple inside. A red plum blossom exactly the same as the one in Shen Nanqiao's boudoir was inserted in the white jade cup, and the carved incense burner next to it was still emitting a lingering fragrance.

"Spearmint," she exclaimed in a low voice, "that was my mother's favorite scent when she was alive."

Next to the Buddhist hall there is a carved white jade bed that can only accommodate one person. There are also bed curtains and drapes on it, and it is spotless.

Shen Nanqiao's heart was in his throat, and some answers were about to come out.

Ning Su pulled her and walked quickly forward in the secret passage.

The tunnel was endlessly winding and was actually much longer than Shen Nanqiao had imagined.

They had already turned two or three corners. Based on her familiarity with the terrain of the Shen Mansion, she knew that if she walked a little further, she would be out of the mansion.

Did Shen Mingde know that there was such a secret passage in his backyard?

No, he shouldn't know that he was in charge of the Ministry of Rites and would never dare to break the law knowingly. However, it was impossible for Aunt Ma to carry out such a big project in the backyard on her own.

Shen Nanqiao's mind was full of thoughts, but Ning Su in front of her suddenly stopped and quickly covered Shen Nanqiao's mouth with his hand, blocking the exclamation that she almost blurted out.

She calmed herself down, hid in the shadow behind Ning Su, and subconsciously looked ahead.

He saw Aunt Ma with her back to him, supporting a middle-aged woman and walking slowly forward.

Because of the distance, I could only see her profile, but the charm of her eyebrows and eyes was still there, and her plain clothes and skirt could not hide her former elegance, and it was obvious that she was a beauty.

There was a small door in front of her, which should be the exit of the secret passage. If her estimation was correct, she could go out from here and directly reach the corner of West Market Street.

The area is usually sparsely populated and peddlers rarely pass by.

It seems that the people who dug the tunnel had taken great pains to consider it, probably to save their lives.

What kind of emergency prompted this man to use this secret passage?

She was just pondering when she heard the woman speak in a low voice.

"Aqi, you go back. I can walk the rest of the way by myself."

Aunt Ma's voice was tinged with tears.

"Miss, please take care of yourself."

While she raised her hand to wipe her tears, Shen Nanqiao also saw the woman's front.

She was struck by lightning and froze there.
