How could Madam Ye Young Master surrender so easily? She was thinking about how to escape.

She was quiet for a moment, then her face suddenly turned ugly. She said anxiously, "Ah Qian, please stop the carriage. Mother has a severe stomachache and needs to go to the toilet!"

Ye Qian saw through her tricks. He gritted his teeth and said, "Stop playing tricks. I won't believe your lies. If you have anything to say, let's go to the Ministry of Justice and talk about it!"

Madam Ye's heart was beating fast with anger, and in order to escape, she had spoken without thinking.

She asked angrily, "What? Do you really want me to pull the carriage? Ye Qian, I can't afford to lose face. Stop now! Do you hear me? I'm telling you to stop!"

Ye Qian could no longer bear it: "Driver, stop!"

Madam Ye's expression finally softened considerably. She said in a serious tone, "There happens to be a dim sum shop outside. I'm familiar with the owner. I'm going to her house. Please wait for me at the door for a moment!"

Ye Qian didn't believe her, so he asked two maids to follow her at all times.

However, after just a short wait, two maids came running out of the back hall of the pastry shop, their faces filled with panic, shouting, "Master, the Madam has run away!"

Ye Qian asked in shock: "How could it be? I was standing guard at the door the whole time and didn't see her!"

The nanny explained, "The back hall of the pastry shop is connected to the clothing shop next door. In the blink of an eye, the lady disappeared!"

Ye Qian subconsciously ran towards the entrance of the clothing store and didn't see her at all.

He said angrily: "She actually escaped!"

The owner of the clothing store said in panic, "Master, we really haven't seen Madam Ye. Why don't you look somewhere else?"

Ye Qian didn't believe that a living person could disappear out of thin air. He asked in a deep voice, "Did anyone suspicious leave your shop just now?"

The shopkeeper shook his head firmly: "We only saw one male guest!"

Just then, the owner of the pastry shop came out with a worried look on his face and said, "Master, my husband's clothes that were hung out to dry in the backyard are gone!"

Ye Qian suddenly clenched his fists. She was smart enough to disguise herself as a man and escape.

He immediately ordered people to search the surrounding area and reported the case to the authorities.

At this time, Madam Ye changed her clothes with the little beggar, painted her skin black with mud, and ran out of the city in broad daylight.

She came to the back door of the Buddhist temple and walked in quietly.

Ye Qian searched for several days without any results, so he had to give up.

Lin Yiwan also learned about the disappearance of Mrs. Ye, but did not blame Ye Qian.

She knew very well that she was his biological mother and he would always feel sorry for her.

But she couldn't guess where Madam Ye could hide, after all, she rarely interacted with others.

Time flies, the severe cold is over, and it is the spring outing and Buddha worship day.

Lin Yiwan started preparing early because on this day she and Lin Su would relight the eternal lamp for the deceased Madam Lin.

The two brought the children to the main hall and first worshipped Buddha and chanted scriptures devoutly.

It was not until the time came to light the eternal lamp that Lin Yiwan let the children leave.

Because they had to kneel for too long, she was worried that the children wouldn't be able to bear it.

She and Lin Su first watched the monk chanting, and then suddenly felt an earthquake.

Her expression suddenly changed, and she immediately reached out to pull Lin Su.

Lin Su was so frightened that her whole body was shaking violently. She asked in panic, "What's going on? Why is it shaking suddenly? Is there an earthquake?"

Lin Yiwan was also unaware of the situation outside, and she subconsciously dragged Lin Su to hide under the altar.

Unexpectedly, in a flash, a huge rock fell from above her head, and she and Lin Su were smashed into a black hole.

Lin Yiwan protected her head the moment she fell to the ground. After everything around her became quiet, she opened her eyes and looked around carefully.

Lin Su's muffled groaning startled her, and she immediately crawled over and asked worriedly, "Mom, how are you?"

Lin Su used her hand to sit up with difficulty. She said in a hoarse voice: "My ankle hurts so much. I'm afraid I twisted it when I fell just now!"

Lin Yiwan reached out and touched it, and sure enough, it was swollen a lot.

She quickly took out the ointment and applied it to Lin Su, allowing her to barely stand up.

She asked anxiously, "Where on earth is this place? How could we have fallen here?"

Lin Yiwan also felt strange. She felt around the wall but didn't find any mechanism.

Lin Su's face turned pale immediately: "We won't be trapped to death here, right?"

Lin Yiwan comforted him, "Don't overthink it. The noise of the incident in the main hall was so loud that the children would have heard it. They will definitely go find Father and Ah Yan to rescue us. We just need to wait!"

Lin Su had just calmed down when she felt a puddle of water suddenly appear under her feet.

She asked in confusion, "Where does the water come from?"

Lin Yiwan's heart sank immediately. She saw a small hole at the bottom of the dark room with water flowing in.

The water flowed very fast and reached their ankles in an instant.

Lin Yiwan quickly reached out to pat the wall and shouted, "Is anyone there? Come and save us!"

Lin Su also followed her and took pictures. Even though both of them had their voices hoarse, there was still no movement outside.

The water level was getting higher and higher, reaching the knees of both of them.

Lin Su's tears rolled down her cheeks. She trembled and said, "Wanwan, are we, mother and daughter, going to drown in this stone chamber?"

Lin Yiwan quickly calmed down. She thought carefully about how this incident happened. It seemed that this was definitely not an accident.

Thinking of this, she ordered Lin Su: "Mother, let's knock on the stone wall separately. There is absolutely no 100% secret room. There must be a turning point that we haven't found yet!"

After hearing her words, Lin Su immediately knocked on the wall.

Lin Yiwan also knocked, but did not find a way out.

After a moment, Lin Su screamed, "Wanwan, here, mother hears something's wrong here, come here quickly!"

Lin Yiwan walked to her side and listened attentively.

She subconsciously reached in and pulled, and more water suddenly rushed in.

The two were so shocked that they quickly stepped aside and saw that the water level in the room was rising rapidly, visibly to the naked eye.

Lin Su blamed herself endlessly. She raised her hand and slapped herself hard, saying, "It's all my fault. Originally, it was just the small hole at the bottom that let in water, but now it's opened up so big. We'll be drowned soon!"

Lin Yiwan quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, mother. The more your life hangs by a thread, the more you need to stay calm. Since you are the inlet, then I should be the outlet!"

Without hesitation, she quickly took out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed it hard at a stone.

No matter how sharp the dagger is, it can only remove some stone chips.

Lin Yiwan subconsciously shook her head: "This is not right, it shouldn't be like this!"
