Second Madame's tone was full of despair and helplessness. She seemed to be out of her wits and in a mess.
She wasn't like First Madame, who was born in a rich and powerful family. Even without Duanmu Yulong, she still had the support of her maternal family.
Duanmu Feiyu was her support. Now that Duanmu Feiyu was dead, her position in the Duanmu Family would be even lower.
The maid comforted her for a while, but it was useless. Instead, she cried even more sadly.
This maid was called Yiyi, Second Madame's trusted aide. She had been by Second Madame's side for many years and was highly regarded and trusted.
Yiyi saw Second Madame crying in despair. After a moment of contemplation, she suddenly thought of something and immediately came up with an idea.
"Madame, this servant has thought of a person who can help you!"
Second Madame raised her head and looked at her with teary eyes. She asked, "Who can help me now?"
Yiyi said with a solemn expression, "Madame, have you forgotten? Your adoptive father is still in Central Continent City. He will definitely support you and help you solve this disaster! "
"Adoptive father?" Second Madame was stunned. She quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded, "That's right! I can still ask adoptive father for help!
Although I have rarely contacted him after marrying into the Duanmu Family, he has many tricks.
But he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He can definitely help me get rid of that bitch!
The only person who can threaten me is First Madame. Regardless of whether Feiyu was killed by her or not, she won't let go of this opportunity.
I can't just sit and wait for death. I must take this opportunity to take the initiative and topple First Madame as soon as possible. Only then can I get rid of my worries … "
Second Madame had someone to rely on and her backbone, so she quickly calmed down.
She thought for a moment and then had Yiyi bring a pen and paper. She began to write a letter to adoptive father.
After she finished writing the letter, she handed it to Yiyi and instructed in a serious tone, "Yiyi, immediately arrange for reliable people to send this letter to the underground Ghost City in Central Continent City …"
"As you command!" Yiyi took the letter and quickly bowed before leaving the room.
Second Madame looked out the window with a gloomy expression. A cold light flashed through her eyes.
"Adoptive father's hands and feet are crippled and his strength is constantly declining. He has been hiding in the underground Ghost City like a crazy drunkard, muddling through his days.
But after all, he is experienced and good at using all kinds of sinister methods. He can definitely help me get rid of First Madame … "
Second Madam was only the daughter of a small family back then. Apart from being a bit beautiful and scheming, there wasn't much else that stood out about her.
Her adoptive father, Huo Yan, had contributed a lot to her being able to climb up the social ladder and successfully marry into the Duanmu Family.
…
Many people in the Duanmu Family thought that after Second Madam woke up, she would definitely make a big fuss and cause chaos in the residence.
Duanmu Huang and the other elders had already made the necessary preparations.
However, in the next two days, Second Madame didn't cause any trouble.
She had stayed in her room, waiting.
. of's''s's's's's, the's's's' ''s's..
Late at night on the third day, the maid Yiyi quickly walked into the second madam's room and respectfully reported the news.
"Madame, Grandfather Huo has arrived. He's waiting for you in the secret room."
Hearing this, Second Madame's spirit was suddenly shaken. Her eyes flashed with hope.
"Adoptive father is finally here. Yiyi, come with me to the secret room!"
Second Madame took Yiyi out of the room. They entered a secret passage that led to the palace's underground and hurried to the secret room for practice.
Not long after, they reached the end of the passage and came to the door of a stone room.
"Yiyi, guard outside the door."
Second Madame instructed. She raised her hand to push open the stone door and entered the dimly lit secret room.
This secret room wasn't big. It was only ten meters in radius. There were many Tianyuan arrays set up inside, which were very hidden and confidential.
The secret room was empty. There was only a white jade table and two stone stools.
As soon as Second Madame entered the secret room, she saw a black figure sitting in front of the stone table.
It was an old man in a black robe. He wasn't tall or sturdy. In fact, he looked very thin and weak. His waist was bent, and he looked a little sloppy.
Under his loose black robe, it was obvious that he was missing a left arm and a right leg.
His long, messy hair covered half of his face.
Half of his face was exposed. There were two raised scars. In his deeply sunken eye sockets, there was a flickering eye.
The black-robed old man sat quietly by the stone table. He was looking down at his right hand.
In his skinny palm, there was a finger-long dark red flame snake. It was spiraling and dancing in a lively manner.
Second Madame walked to the old man and bowed respectfully. She called out, "Adoptive father."
The black-robed old man was her husband, Huo Yan.
Huo Yan didn't look up. He was still staring at the flame snake in his palm. He said in a low and hoarse voice, "Shutong, if I remember correctly, you haven't contacted me for ten years, right? Could it be that you only think of this old man when you're in trouble? "
Hearing this, Second Madame was a little embarrassed. She quickly bowed and explained with a smile, "Adoptive father, you've misunderstood me.
Shutong knows that you don't like to deal with people. You just want to spend your days in peace, so Shutong doesn't dare to disturb you … "
Without waiting for Second Madame to finish speaking, Huo Yan interrupted her and said in a low voice, "No need to explain. If I blame you, I wouldn't have come today."
Hearing this, Second Madame was relieved. She quickly asked, "Adoptive father, does that mean you agree?"
Huo Yan said in a calm and indifferent tone, "Of course! I can help you deal with First Madame and help you secure your position as Madame.
However, I also need you to do something for me. "
Second Madame nodded without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, Adoptive father. As long as it's within Shutong's power, I won't refuse."
Huo Yan turned over his palm. The flame snake in his palm disappeared and was replaced by a scroll.
He put the scroll on the stone table and said to Second Madame, "Adoptive father has always wanted to deal with an old matter. Now, there's finally some progress.
The person in the portrait has come to Zhongzhou City. You have to find a way to find this person and capture him for me! "
Second Madam hurriedly reached out to pick up the scroll and unfurled it. When she saw the person in the portrait, she was immediately stunned.
That was because the person in the portrait was a little boy who was a little over ten years old.
Although the boy was young, he was very handsome. There was a majestic aura between his eyebrows. It was obvious that he came from a noble background.
Moreover, although he was a human youth, he had long dark red hair. There was also a red flame mark on his forehead. It was quite exotic.
Although Second Madame was puzzled, she didn't say anything.
She stared at the portrait for a moment, then solemnly put away the scroll.
