Chapter Forty-Seven: The Secret of the Yuan Mansion

After Yuan Liwan fed the Gongsun clan to drink the medicine, she returned to her room, thinking that this Gongsun clan was quite capable of pretending. Although I can't hear the truth of the lie from them, I still feel good that I can torture her.

By the way, the antler fern in the firewood room, I don't know how it has been lately, it should be almost ripe, right? Thinking of this, Yuan Liwan walked towards the firewood room.

Yuan Liwan, who came to the firewood room, walked straight towards the plant, and it was really mature. Now take it off and take it back to the Hou Ye's Mansion, I'm afraid it's not fresh anymore, and it can't be used. The green snake can only be brought back to the medical space first, and when he returns to the Hou Ye's Mansion, it can be used to treat Bai's condition.

"Green Snake Baby, go ahead. Bringing the staghorn fern to the medical space will be of great use in the future. Yuan Liwan summoned the green snake and let it crawl towards the herb. While crawling, he still spits out its tongue.

The green snake pulls up the herbs from the ground and packs them into the medical space. Yuan Liwan took back the green snake, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly saw that there was a hole in the cellar where the antler fern was picked up.

"This, a basement? The Yuan family actually has such a hidden basement, and it is hidden in a place where few people come to the firewood house. Yuan Liwan looked at the hole in front of her and sighed in surprise.

This basement is definitely not simple, and there must be some secrets hidden in it. But now is not the best time to act, so let's wait until the night when everyone has gone to sleep, and then find out.

Immediately, Yuan Liwan returned to her room, ready to explore the secrets of the basement at night.

Finally at night, Yuan Liwan estimated that everyone should be asleep, so she wore a set of clothes that were dark and not easy to be found, and secretly went out and walked straight towards the firewood room.

After entering the firewood room, close the door and check the location, it turned out that there was a short and fat vase in the position of this hole, so Yuan Liwan turned half a circle.

A door opened on the wall opposite the door of the "squeak" firewood room, and Yuan Liwan was also surprised. Although I have seen many novels and TV plots in the 21st century, they are all played out this way, and there is a door when you turn the mechanism. But now that I see it, I'm still amazed.

Yuan Liwan didn't think much about it, and walked in. The door was closed and the vase was restored to its original state, so as not to be seen by others.

Entering the door, there is a long passage, and there are permanent lamps on the wall, it seems that people often come and add oil.

Cautiously walking into the basement, Yuan Liwan was once again amazed by the surrounding environment. Although there is not a lot of space here, there are golden pictures everywhere, and there are several chests in the middle of the place.

Unable to control her curiosity, Yuan Liwan approached and opened the box. That's right, this box contains nothing else, but gold and silver treasures, whole boxes of gold and silver jewelry.

"How can the Yuan family have so many gold and silver treasures? Yiyuanzhen's official position shouldn't have such savings. Yuan Liwan was full of curiosity, "Could it be that Yuan Zhen he..."

With a questioning mood, Yuan Liwan closed the box, continued to look for other clues in the secret room, and finally found an account book in a desk drawer.

The truth is really just like Yuan Liwan's guess, according to the records in this account book, these ill-gotten gains were obtained by Yuan Zhen sitting in the position of Shangshu for so many years.

Yuan Liwan also didn't expect that Yuan Zhen had obtained so much money that did not belong to him by virtue of his position for so many years, and he dug such a basement in Yuanfu and hid it in such a secret place.

Just as Yuan Liwan was thinking about how to deal with this matter, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and she was in the passage, and she was about to enter this room.

Yuan Liwan was completely flustered, didn't know where to hide, and stood in place in a daze. At this moment, a pair of hands covered Yuan Liwan's mouth from behind to prevent her from making a sound, pulling her behind a screen.

Yuan Liwan's eyes widened in horror, wondering who would appear here at this time and help her with such a posture. Just as she was thinking. The owner of the hands spoke in Yuan Liwan's ear.

"Don't make a sound, someone's coming." Saying that, Huo Hengyao took his hand away from Yuan Liwan's mouth. Hearing this voice, Yuan Liwan was completely relieved. Turning his head, he looked at Huo Hengyao, who he hadn't seen for several days. There are doubts in the eyes, but there are also happiness.

The two hid behind the screen and saw that it was Yuan Zhen who came in, Yuan Zhen checked the box, glanced at the ledger again, and confirmed that there was no problem, and then left in a hurry.

It turned out that there were so many gold and silver treasures hidden in the house, and Yuan Zhen would be afraid, so he had to come to confirm every night to sleep with peace of mind. Since he was afraid, he dared to embezzle so boldly at that time.

After watching Yuan Zhen leave, Yuan Liwan and Huo Hengyao came out.

With the question just now, Yuan Liwan asked Huo Hengyao why he was here.

Huo Hengyao explained, "It's not because I've been worried about you after the incident that day, so now I take advantage of the night to come to see you, but I didn't expect to see you sneaking out and walking towards the firewood room." That's why I followed you all the way. Fortunately, I came with you, otherwise how would you deal with the situation just now? ”

"Alright, let's get out of here first, and then let's talk." Huo Hengyao pulled Yuan Liwan and said.

"Okay." Yuan Liwan also agreed.

The two left the firewood room and quietly returned to Yuan Liwan's room.

"What should I do about this?" Yuan Liwan looked at Huo Hengyao and asked him at a loss and in embarrassment. "I didn't expect that Yuan Zhen hid such a secret room in this mansion in this Yuan Mansion, and he embezzled so much money."

"Don't worry, Wan'er, don't make a big deal about it yet." Huo Hengyao knew that this incident also made Yuan Liwan very embarrassed, and Yuan Liwan was also a member of the Yuan family after all, and now saying it was nothing more than letting Yuan Liwan cause trouble.

"Besides, we slipped in by mistake this time to find out what we saw. It's not fair to say it, and no one believes it. Huo Hengyao touched Yuan Liwan's hair and said gently.

In fact, Huo Hengyao had already thought of the next plan in his heart, "Wan'er, if there is nothing to do in the past few days, you can leave the Yuan family and return to the Hou Ye's mansion." Recently, I will also strengthen the training in the army, and use my military exploits to exchange the emperor for the conditions to protect you, so you don't have to worry about this matter anymore. Huo Hengyao looked at Yuan Liwan gently, talking about his next plan.

Yuan Liwan was already happy in her heart about this matter, and she was glad that Huo Hengyao thought about herself everywhere and thought about everything. Thank you again for the original mother's request for this marriage.

"Okay, everything is up to you, thank you for thinking about me in everything." Yuan Liwan leaned shyly on Huo Hengyao's arms and said softly.

"What? Do you know now that it's good to be a husband? Huo Hengyao saw Yuan Liwan's appearance, and said with a rare joke.
