Mi Xaing 'er stared at Yun Jingting. "I want to ask you something …"
"Okay …"
"You said that you would fully support me no matter what I do. Then, do you think that I didn't do anything wrong when I protected Xiao Qingshan and got into so much trouble?"
"That's right." Yun Jingting's lips curled up slightly, revealing a few white and neat teeth. "I believe you. If you think that Xiao Qingshan is worth saving, then there must be a reason. Not only do I not blame you, but I also think that you're very good …"
Ah …
Very good!
No matter what his daughter-in-law does, it's all good!
No one else can do that!
Yun Jingting sighed softly. "Xiang 'er, in this chaotic world, everyone wants to protect themselves. It's very rare for you to have the courage to stand up for someone else. You can even treat an outsider like this. If anything happens to me in the future, of course, you won't leave me alone!"
He took half a step back and tilted his head slightly. The moonlight illuminated half of his face. "I thought that a husband and wife should never leave each other!"
He did not say anything else. "Let's go. Don't let Mom wait for too long!"
He turned around and entered the room.
Mi Xaing 'er stared at his tall back. She suddenly felt that this man was very good too.
She walked slowly behind Yun Laohu and entered the room. She looked up and saw that Tang Xiling was sitting upright on the old-fashioned wooden armchair in the living room. His eyes were slightly downcast. He did not even bat an eyelid when he heard the noise.
Fu Bowen, on the other hand, was very obedient. He sat on the stool in the corner with his hands on his knees and his shoulders slightly raised. His big eyes were darting around as he looked at this and that. He looked very smart.
Although Yun Laohu was very "donkey" in front of outsiders, he was very polite and considerate in front of his daughter-in-law and mother-in-law.
Seeing that Tang Xiling did not say anything, he did not sit down either. His hands hung by his sides as he stood quietly by the side.
The lights in the room were dim.
It shone on everyone's faces and added a touch of gentleness.
For a long time, no one spoke.
Mi Xaing 'er could only cough lightly. "Mom, didn't you say that you had something to say to Yun Jingting?"
Tang Xiling lowered her head as if she did not hear anything. No one could see the expression on her face, let alone know what she was thinking.
Silence
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Mi Xaing 'er was a little impatient. "Mom, say something!"
Yun Jingting turned to her indifferently. "Don't be anxious. Mom will speak when it's time."
That's good.
Take your time
Mi Xaing 'er looked away. "Fu Bowen, where did you hide Doctor Xiao? How did you know that there's a tunnel in the side room? Don't try to lie to me. I've been in this house for 18 years, and I didn't even know that there's a tunnel. How did you discover it in just two days?"
Fu Bowen took a quick glance at the Tang Xiling, then straightened his neck and explained, "Sis, if you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do. I'm innocent."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Anyway, no matter how you ask me, I'll still say the same thing. I discovered it when I was playing by myself!"
Mi Xaing 'er knew that although this child was young, he was very strong-willed. If he did not want to talk about it, no matter how others asked, it would be useless.
She glanced at her mother from the corner of her eye and went straight to the point. "Mom, don't tell me you told him this secret?"
Tang Xiling did not answer. She stood up and went back to the bedroom in a daze.
This …
What's going on?
Did her illness act up again?
Mi Xaing 'er did not have time to argue with her. She was thinking about Xiao Qingshan. "Little Six, bring me over to take a look!"
Fu Bowen agreed clearly. He jumped down from the stool, lifted the curtain, and went out.
Mi Xaing 'er followed behind him.
Yun Jingting stood at the same spot. "Xiang, do you need me to go?"
He felt that this "tunnel" was a secret of the Mi family, and it was not convenient for him to "spy" on it.
Mi Xaing 'er had long regarded him as the most reliable person. "Of course you'll come! Do you even need to ask?"
When Yun Laohu heard this, she was elated. "Aye …"
She lowered her head, stepped out of the room, and strode beside Mi Xaing 'er.
In the dark …
He stretched out his large hand and held the girl's arm. "Don't walk so fast. Be careful not to fall!"
She turned and smiled sweetly. "Okay!"
The three of them went to the backyard, entered the side room, and turned on the lights …
Mi Xaing 'er looked around. The room was empty except for a big kang bed. There was an ordinary mat on the kang bed. At a glance, she could not see anything unusual. "Little Six, where's the entrance?"
Fu Bowen climbed onto the kang bed and rolled up the mat. There was a layer of felt underneath. When the felt was removed, a wooden plank was revealed. The plank was only big enough for one person to pass through. "Sister, this is the entrance. Go ahead, I'm going back to accompany Mom!"
He turned and ran off.
Mi Xaing 'er looked at his back and muttered softly to Yun Laohu, "Why do I feel that this child is a little spy? He's always chattering with my mom. I don't know what they're talking about. Also, the entrance to the tunnel is so secretive, yet he found it himself. Nonsense! Anyway, I feel that it's quite strange!"
Yun Laohu smiled faintly and did not say anything. She stretched out her hand and opened the wooden plank.
A gust of dark water rushed towards him, and the smell was a little choking. He turned his head slightly and waited for a while before looking into the tunnel. When he saw that it was dark inside and he could not see anything, he raised his voice and shouted, "Hey, Doctor Xiao, are you there?"
There was no reply.
He looked up at Mi Xaing 'er. "Why don't I go down and take a look first?"
Without waiting for her reply, he nimbly jumped into the tunnel.
Mi Xaing 'er looked at his back and felt an inexplicable sense of excitement. What kind of secret was hidden inside?
