Chapter 2094: Secret Passageway
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After night fell, a huge thunderstorm suddenly rained down.
Fairy Huanghe had been tossing and turning in bed, so she was jolted awake by the thunder.
She opened the window and looked outside at the pouring rain.
It was as if rain was smattering down through a hole torn open in the pitch-black night sky.
A familiar scream suddenly entered Huanghe’s ears, shocking her.
!!
Her maidservant pushed open the door and took the towel from the rack to wipe the rain from her body. “My lady, it is a chilly night. Why are you just standing at the window with all the wind and rain?”
Huanghe quickly walked for the door. “That seemed to be Senior Sister Lingfei’s scream.”
“Yeah, I heard the people from Madam’s courtyard say that Fairy Lingfei’s condition has worsened.” The maidservant quickly grabbed a nearby umbrella and opened it while following Fairy Huanghe out the door.
“Yunxue, Yunxue, quickly bring a cape over for her ladyship.”
“My lady, you are still going out when it is so late.” The maidservant called Yunxue hastily ran over with a thick cape. She helped the other maidservant drape the cape around Fairy Huanghe’s shoulders.
Fairy Huanghe did not say anything, merely pressing her lips together as she strode out the door.
Yunxue also quickly took an umbrella and opened it as she followed along. The three of them hurried with uneven steps through the downpour for Madam née Feng’s courtyard.
*Creak.* The courtyard door opened. Fairy Huanghe hastily walked inside ahead of the maidservant that had been holding the umbrella for her.
Yet there was no one in the courtyard at all.
While standing in the empty courtyard, Huanghe scanned the surroundings in astonishment.
“It couldn’t be that Senior Sister Lingfei couldn’t make it past tonight, right?” Huanghe muttered to herself.
Even though Lingfei had a fiery temper, she had long regarded her as a sister after so many years together!
Master, Master was so heartless…
“My lady, there is no one here. How about we head back first?” Yunxue did not have much courage and held Huanghe’s hand when she mumbled this.
The other maidservant did not say anything. She just stood beside Huanghe and did her best to block the strong wind and heavy rain for her with the umbrella.
However, just two oilpaper umbrellas were unable to block this torrent.
The three of them had come all the way from another courtyard, so their clothes had already gotten wet.
“I’m going in to take a look. You both wait here.”
“Yunxue, you wait at the door. I will accompany her ladyship inside.”
“Changfeng, my lady, you both be careful!”
Fairy Lingfei ran toward the corridor with long strides. She searched through each room along the several-dozen-meter long corridor for Fairy Lingfei.
Changfeng’s entire body had gotten drenched from the rain, and she was shuddering. She gritted her teeth as she pointed out, “My, my lady, there is something off around here.”
There was indeed something off. They did not see even a single maidservant inside Master’s courtyard.
Where had everyone gone at this time!?
The two of them exchanged glances, and they kept their guards up as they continued walking toward the rear.
After entering the most remote room in the rear courtyard, Fairy Huanghe halted and fixed her gaze behind the bookshelf.
Over there…
There seemed to be a passageway. The person who last went in was careless and did not fully shut the passageway.
That was why the empty crack right now was particularly apparent.
Fairy Huanghe’s eyes glinted sharply.
“My lady.” The maidservant held her arm nervously.
Huanghe took in a deep breath and hardened her heart.
“Let’s go.” Huanghe stepped quickly into that passageway with Changfeng.
