However, since Gu Shi kept urging them to leave, he had piqued Gu Yiyi’s curiosity. She wanted to know who was actually locked in the dungeon.
“Xiao Qing, my father must have taken a lady back to the manor and locked her in there. Let’s go and take a look.” The more Gu Shi urged them to leave, the more curious Gu Yiyi got. She insisted on going into the dungeon.
Gu Shi simply could not stop her…
Gu Yiyi kicked open the dungeon door.
In a dark corner, a lady with her face covered by her hair could be seen crouching on the ground, ragged and dirty.
Gu Shi’s heart skipped a beat. The color drained from his face. His image was completely ruined.
In fact, Gu Yiyi knew that Gu Shi would never take a lady back to the manor forcefully. It was just her casual remark.
Now, seeing the poor lady crouching in the corner, Gu Yiyi turned her head stiffly.
“Father, did you really do this? What kind of a monster are you?”
There was no wonder that the back hill was a forbidden place. It turned out that someone was hiding his shameful affair.
“I didn’t do anything to her. She is the one who refuses to leave. I am innocent. Do you believe me?” Gu Shi’s lips trembled.
“Father, do you think she is a fool? Why does she want to stay here and refuse to leave?”
Gu Shi wanted to say that Gu Yiyi was right. This lady was a fool. However, he could not say a word before his daughter.
Feng Ruqing walked slowly toward the lady. Her fingers brushed the lady’s hair gently. A face full of scars appeared before her eyes, it was extremely hideous.
However, Feng Ruqing did not seem to feel disgusted.
‘Qing Han led me to this place. Besides this lady, there is nothing else in the dungeon. Apparently, this lady is not the one who has called out to Qing Han.’ Feng Ruqing sank into contemplation.
The lady raised her head, her face was full of anger.
Seeing the lady’s face, Gu Yiyi sucked in a breath of cold air. Simply no one knew how much struggles this lady had gone through.
Now, if someone told Gu Yiyi that her father had taken this lady back into the manor by force as he could not stand the loneliness, Gu Yiyi would not even doubt it. However, her father would never disfigure the lady’s face.
Lost in thought, the lady stared dazedly at Feng Ruqing. Suddenly, the lady seemed to have felt that was something different, her grubby hands quickly held onto Feng Ruqing’s arms.
As this lady had not left the dungeon for a long time, her hands were covered with dirt, leaving fingerprints on Feng Ruqing’s sleeves.
“Xiao Qing!” Panicking, Gu Yiyi wanted to walk up to Feng Ruqing but Feng Ruqing stopped her.
Feng Ruqing was still calm and composed. She did not seem to feel the slighted bit disgusted. She lowered her eyes to stare at the lady before her.
“You want me to bring you out of here?”
The lady nodded desperately. Her eyes were not as gloomy as before and were now sparkling like stars.
“Did the people here scar your face?” Feng Ruqing continued asking.
The lady nodded. Her eyes were filled with resentment.
Seeing this, Feng Ruqing and Gu Yiyi’s turned to look at Gu Shi.
“I did not do this. It was the former manor master! I only know that she is here after taking over this chief manor. I asked her to leave, but she refused. I did not force her to stay here.” Gu Shi’s face was ghastly pale.
Feng Ruqing tilted her head and looked at the poor lady.
