Elder Zhao stared at the old prosthetic limb and was in a daze for a long time.
"This thing is very ingenious. It should be made by a famous craftsman. I wonder if there are any skilled craftsmen in the aboriginals who specialize in this? "
After Lin Mengya flipped through the paper, she asked the question she had in mind.
Perhaps she could find out the identity of the corpse from this.
Elder Zhao let out a soft sigh before mentioning it.
"There is indeed a family in the aboriginals who can make this. Not only that, they are also very good at mechanisms, secret tunnels, and even the Five Elements Yin-Yang Illusion Formation."
Speaking of this, he frowned slightly.
"But they have always been used by the Elders Guild. Every year, other than a fixed quota, no one is allowed to order items from them privately. Even I only have one chance every year. "
Mechanisms, an unknown secret room, and an exquisite prosthetic limb.
It was obvious that it wasn't a simple matter to put all of this together.
From the traces in the tunnel, it was obvious that this place had existed for a long time.
One had to know that Elder Zhao was only Elder San Hui now.
Before he was promoted, no one in the Zhao family had the right to order these things from that family.
However, they did exist.
Lin Mengya keenly captured the key point.
"It is also possible that this was done by someone else in the Elders Guild?"
Even though he did not want to admit it, he had to accept this possibility.
Zhao Yixuan narrowed his eyes and thought of all the contributions he had made to the Elders Guild over the years. He could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
That person looked like him when he was young and was imprisoned in the basement of his study. Before today, he did not even know the secret hidden in this secret room.
This made him feel that he was being feared and even schemed against.
It was as if there were spies everywhere watching him, causing him to develop a sense of distrust towards everyone.
Perhaps the skeleton in the secret room was him, and this was just a dream he had before he died.
Lin Mengya quickly realized that Elder Zhao seemed to be in a trance.
She immediately knocked on the table hard.
With a thud, Zhao Yixuan suddenly woke up from his trance.
"This is …"
He looked at his hands.
At that moment, he actually felt that all his hopes had turned to dust.
Thinking back, he felt that it was a little strange.
No matter how much the skeleton resembled him, it wasn't him.
So what was going on with him?
Lin Mengya noticed that Elder Zhao's expression was not right, so she quickly examined him.
Other than that, there was nothing special about him. It was just that his spirit was unusually dispirited.
Could it be that he was frightened by the corpse?
After thinking for a while, she wrote seriously, "Actually, it's just a corpse. It's already dead, so there's no more danger."
Elder Zhao was stunned for a moment before he realized that the other party thought he was afraid.
"I'm not afraid, I'm just …"
Lin Mengya looked at him with sympathy.
"Yes, you're not afraid. You're just finding it hard to accept. It's okay. I'm a professional doctor. I won't laugh at you. "
Elder Zhao …
He pinched the space between his eyebrows. He was sure that this girl was here to piss him off!
In the end, the prosthetic leg was kept safe by Elder Zhao.
Actually, the mechanisms in the secret chamber were not that tight.
It's just that as
In the Zhao Family, Elder Zhao would not easily touch the memorial tablets of his ancestors.
But for an outsider like Xu 'er, there was nothing to be afraid of.
There were indeed a few secret compartments in the study, but they were designed to be well hidden. At least, Lin Mengya would not be able to find them in a short time, so it was considered safe.
The two of them had a tacit understanding. Zhao Yixuan planned to investigate the origin of the prosthetic leg, while Lin Mengya chose to remain invisible and continue to inquire about related matters in the house.
This house had only been built for more than ten years, but the living person hidden under the study had passed away in recent years.
So, before this, something unusual must have happened in the Zhao Family.
She wanted to pick out something related to the secret chamber from these things. Perhaps, she could find out the reason for the existence of the secret chamber.
After she sneaked out of the study, she was about to return to her room when Xu 'er called out to her.
"Mute Slave, where did you go just now?"
It was almost dusk.
The other party's face was hidden in the shadows of the corridor. For some reason, it seemed to be smeared with a touch of gloomy coldness.
Mute Slave was the new name that Madam Duan "gave" her yesterday.
It sounded like an old-fashioned name from a feudal society.
However, the other party felt that it was a great honor for her.
Lin Mengya stood still and gestured in the direction of the backyard.
Xu 'er walked over slowly and said with an indifferent attitude, "Madam Duan praised you not to let you play tricks in this house. If I can't find you next time, I'll definitely let you know how powerful I am. "
Lin Mengya hurriedly shook her head.
Xu 'er glared at her fiercely and then let her follow her.
In the front yard, lanterns had been lit.
Compared with the desolation a few days ago, the Zhao Family had now regained its vitality.
A dignified Madam Duan stood in the middle of the crowd.
Compared with Aunt Fang, who always had a sense of beauty and elegance with a sense of distance, Madam Duan was more like a gentle white lotus.
It had only been a few days, but she already seemed to have the aura of a mistress of the house.
Lin Mengya only took a glance and then lowered her head.
A fake was a fake after all.
The architectural style of the Zhao Family and the Huo Family seemed to be incompatible with Madam Duan.
It was just that no one had noticed this subtle change yet.
Buildings were also like people.
After living for a long time, the temperament would also be similar.
On the other side, Madam Duan smiled and held her niece's hand. Amidst the compliments of the crowd, she asked about her niece's well-being.
"Are you tired from the journey? Look at you, why are you still like a child? "
"Aunt, I'm not tired. By the way, I asked you to prepare a room for me. Have you prepared it for me?"
The girl's voice was crisp, with a bit of a girl's coquettishness.
Madam Duan scratched the tip of her nose.
"It's all ready. Girl, why are you so mysterious?"
"It's to treat my savior's injury! Aunt, you don't know, I was almost kidnapped by bandits on the way. Fortunately, my savior appeared in time and saved me. And he was seriously injured to save me. I can't bite the hand that feeds me. "
Madam Duan immediately asked with concern, "What? You met bandits? Are you hurt? Really, why didn't Big Brother send more guards for you? "
"Well, aunt, I was careless. By the way, please help me choose a suitable person to take care of him. It's not convenient for a girl to take care of him. "
When she spoke in a coquettish voice, it was really unbearable.
Lin Mengya only felt goosebumps all over her body.
"Can't we talk nicely? Why do you have to drag out the ending to act cute? It's better to listen to the sheep. At least it's more natural. "
Madam Duan naturally agreed and asked Xu 'er to make the arrangements.
But in the blink of an eye, this task fell on Lin Mengya's head.
She pointed at herself. Xu 'er immediately said impatiently, "It's you. Remember, take good care of Miss Ru Xuan's savior. And don't mention this to anyone."
Lin Mengya felt that this matter was a little too sudden.
A while ago, Madam Duan used words to tempt her to seduce Elder Zhao.
Why did she ask her to take care of someone now?
She glanced in the direction of Madam Duan.
She only saw a slim figure in pink, acting coquettishly in front of Madam Duan.
"What are you looking at? Can't I order you apart from Madam? Let me tell you, you'd better know your place. Don't always have wishful thinking! "
Xu 'er warned her with her arms crossed.
Lin Mengya nodded. She looked obedient, but in fact, she was disdainful.
Madam Duan, for some reason, wanted to give her the cold shoulder. She wanted to make her worry about gains and losses, so that she would be easier to control.
She turned around and left.
She was curious about who would save such a pretentious person.
Duan Ru Xuan's savior was placed in an inconspicuous yard in the backyard.
It took her a lot of effort to find such a place.
To put it nicely, it was quiet, but to put it bluntly, it was a ghost place that even dogs would hate.
It was rare for Madam Duan to make such arrangements.
Lin Mengya felt that it was an enemy.
As soon as she walked in, she heard a hoarse and unpleasant voice coming from inside.
"Who's there?"
She almost jumped out of her skin.
This commotion was a little too unpleasant to listen to.
Lin Mengya walked closer and knocked on the door.
This time, it was still the same voice, but this time, it sounded a little impatient.
"Didn't I say that no one is to disturb me? Or do you want to die? "
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and became alert.
This was a troublesome guy.
Lin Mengya was thinking if she should just leave, when she remembered that Xu 'er was obviously trying to catch her in the wrong. She made up her mind.
Even if she wanted to leave, she could not let the master and servant catch her in the wrong.
As long as this "guest" made a fuss, she would be in the right.
Thinking of this, she suddenly opened the door.
"Get out!"
The sudden roar caused her to tremble with fear.
It was too dark in the room. She could only see a figure sitting on the bed.
She thought of Duan Ru Xuan's words that the man was injured.
Although he was hot-tempered, she was a responsible doctor!
Unexpectedly, when she walked to the table, the man raised his walking stick beside the bed angrily.
"Get out …"
The last word was suddenly stuck in her throat.
Lin Mengya wanted to avoid the man's anger, but the next moment, the voice suddenly became low and magnetic.
"Ya 'er! Why are you here? "
She was so familiar with this voice!
Lin Mengya threw herself on the bed, and a pair of strong hands caught her in an instant.
But when she saw the man's face clearly, she suddenly pulled herself out and looked at him angrily.
Long Tianhao was not only full of scars, but also half of his hair was gone.
Damn it! Where was her handsome husband?
