Lin Mengya stared at the key to the secret room in her hand.
The key was black and had a texture similar to jade, but it was harder than jade.
There was a delicate plum blossom on the handle, which was very familiar to her.
As for how she came down and how Baisu arranged the rest of the things, she had forgotten all about it.
Now, she focused all her attention on the key in her hand.
"Baisu, I'm really a descendant of the Gong Family."
Baisu understood her master's worries. Therefore, when she found the key to the Gong Family with the help of the things left behind by Madam Gu, she finally felt relieved.
There was nothing more reassuring than knowing who he was.
Compared with her, her master had no one to rely on.
But she could rely on her.
"Congratulations, Master. If Madam and Old Grandma knew about it, they would be very happy."
Yes, even though her maternal grandmother fled home and her mother died young because of this, this place was the root that she could not get rid of since she was in her mother's womb.
"Let's go and find the legendary secret room."
She breathed a sigh of relief. Now, she finally felt at ease.
Why did her grandmother leave so decisively yesterday? Today, she would find the most suitable answer.
"Okay."
Baisu followed behind her master, but in front of them was a mansion that was as grand as the imperial palace.
After searching for a long time, they almost lost their way.
In the end, he relied on his trembling legs to return to the Patriarch's bedroom.
"It's not a good thing to have such a big yard. Why did the Gong Family build such a big yard?"
Lin Mengya leaned on the table and looked like she had nothing to live for.
Baisu was much stronger than her. Seeing the fatigue on her master's face, she couldn't help feeling sorry for her.
"How about I go and find it for you?"
Lin Mengya waved her hand. Since it was a secret room, the entrance must be in a very secret place. Ordinary people would not be able to find it.
Or they could ask their great-grandfather tomorrow. After all, he knew the old house of the Gong Family better than they did.
"Well, let's wash up and go to bed. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
Lin Mengya dragged her legs and threw herself on the big bed.
Baisu immediately went outside to fetch some hot water. She thought that she should ask her master tomorrow to find more servants to serve her.
It wasn't that she was lazy, but the courtyard was just too big.
"Aiya!"
Just as he was thinking, a cry of surprise came from inside.
Baisu put down the basin and ran into the room immediately. She found that her master was nowhere to be found.
"Master! Master! "
Baisu screamed twice, but there was no response. Thousands of possibilities flashed through her mind, and the long sword that never left her body was also placed horizontally in front of her chest.
Could it be that a thief had kidnapped his master?
However, after a short while, her master walked out of a brass mirror and floated down.
Baisu widened her eyes in astonishment.
Was she … Was she seeing things?
Master had actually walked out from the mirror!
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't be nervous. It's me."
After comforting Baisu, Lin Mengya looked back at the brass mirror with a complicated expression.
She was surprised that he was able to discover this mechanism.
When she was at home, Long Tianhao also got her a mercury mirror that was as tall as a person.
But the place where this mirror was placed was a little strange.
It was inlaid on the wall of the bedroom, and almost half of the wall was occupied by this mirror. Unless the master of the bedroom was a narcissist, no one would like such a big mirror.
But why this mirror …
Lin Mengya reached out her hand, and touched a hard and cold surface.
It was indeed a mirror, but why did she feel that this mirror was a little unusual?
The large round mirror was decorated with yellow rosewood, and it exuded a sense of elegance and luxury.
According to her eldest brother, the Yu Family did not dare to live in this courtyard, but they had changed a lot of the furnishings.
Lin Mengya moved the lamp closer, and she found something unusual about this mirror.
Rather than calling it a mirror, it would be more appropriate to call it a door.
The position and size of this mirror looked too much like a door.
Lin Mengya thought for a while, and began to examine the mirror carefully.
It was inlaid on the wall so tightly that there was almost no gap.
She looked around again unwillingly, and this time, she looked at it centimeter by centimeter. She even moved a chair over, and did not let go of the dust on it. She could see clearly where the dust was not cleaned.
Finally, she found a shallow mark on the top of the mirror.
If her fingers were not more sensitive than ordinary people, it would be difficult for her to find that small, rectangular mark.
She gently knocked on it, and the sound was nothing special.
Then she scratched around with her nails, and found nothing.
She had a flash of inspiration, and pressed down a little harder.
Immediately, after a slight sound, a small groove suddenly appeared on the wall next to the mirror.
This time, Lin Mengya was immediately stunned. What was this? An unexpected gain? Or was it dark under the lamp?
No matter what it was, Lin Mengya felt that the traps of the Gong Family were always unpredictable.
After carefully examining the groove, Lin Mengya found that there was only a small black flat surface inside, and there was even no place to insert the key.
Did she make a mistake?
It should not be!
Unwilling to give up, she reached out her hand and carefully studied the inside of the groove.
It felt like a wall, but why was there a small dent?
The sensitivity of her slender fingers helped Lin Mengya a lot again.
After hesitating for a moment, she pressed down again.
But this time, it was not as easy as before. So she involuntarily increased her strength.
Finally, the brick in the groove was pushed by her.
At the same time, the small wooden block that she had pressed down just now arched up again.
Lin Mengya looked at the two mechanisms of the Gong Family, and her heart was extremely complicated.
She did not know who designed this thing, but one thing was for sure, this guy must be crazy!
When she stood on the chair again, Lin Mengya could see that the small wooden block that automatically bounced up had turned to one side.
A dark hole appeared in front of her.
This time, almost without any hesitation, she inserted the key into the hole.
When only the top of the plum blossom was left, the mirror suddenly split into four parts, and then shrank.
Lin Mengya stared at the revealed space under the mirror without blinking.
Why was it another mirror?
No!
She reached out her hand doubtfully, but her hand went through the 'mirror'!
It was a mirror painted on it!
On the other hand, the raw material of the Painting Mirror was actually extremely fine, yet extremely flexible and tough silk.
Under the dim light of the candle, the painted mirror could indeed be mistaken for the real one.
She tried again with her hand, and then gently exhaled.
The Elder Master was so good at playing!
She separated the silk thread and stepped out with one foot. Unexpectedly, there was a staircase inside. She did not expect it and almost fell over.
Nevertheless, in a panic, she went through it.
She could not help but exclaim. When she held the wall to steady her body, Baisu had rushed in.
A burst of joy surged in her heart. Finally, she found it.
"Come on, let's go and have a look together!"
She took Baisu's hand, and under the girl's almost surprised gaze, they went through the 'mirror' together.
"This thing is so magical!"
The lanterns in their hands lit up the tunnel which was as wide as two people.
Turning around, Baisu let out a heartfelt exclamation as she looked at the threads that had become airtight again.
"The people of the Gong Family really have a different way of thinking from ordinary people."
While Lin Mengya sighed with emotion, Baisu also looked at her master beside her.
Yes, her master's words made sense.
This passageway led underground. After a few steps, they came across another door.
The door was made of very hard rock, but this time, she quickly found the key to open it.
Because the keyhole was right in the center.
And this time, she inserted the seal key into the keyhole without hesitation.
Now, she finally understood the thinking of the Gong Family's mechanism.
Without the seal key, she could not get the key to the upper door.
If one didn't have the key with this seal, they wouldn't be able to open the door below.
If either of the two keys was lost, the door would not be easily opened.
But in fact, the seal key was the most important.
That was to say, the most important key was actually in the hands of the master of the Gong Family. It was just that others did not know.
The door was opened, and Baisu walked in first.
Soon, they found the oil lamp inlaid on the wall beside the door.
There was still some lamp oil and wick inside. When the oil lamps around the door were lit, they turned around and looked inside the door.
However, he did not expect to see two mountains of gold and silver ingots piled up in front of his eyes!
Lin Mengya and Baisu were stunned on the spot. This … this accident was too exciting!
Lin Mengya finally stopped looking like an infatuated fool. She immediately realized that these things must not be shown to the world! Otherwise, the Gong Family would face endless greed.
Desire was not something that could be satisfied for a day.
Therefore, she had to make a small change in her previous plan.
At least this treasure house must not be known to outsiders.
It seemed that her brothers had to be wronged as free labor.
At least, she had to secretly forge a "secret room" on the surface. Only in this way could the Gong Family develop steadily.
"Baisu, invite Third Brother and Fourth Brother here. Remember, do it quietly, and don't disturb others."
