Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the castle.

However, this is not the main entrance to the castle, but a low bush on the side.

Tian Li originally thought that the place where the crystal slippers were hidden was extremely hidden and remote, but now she found that Lin Weixue was actually leading her around in a circle just now.

Their real destination is the castle.

At this time, the two of them were bowing and hiding behind a low tree. Lin Weixue pointed to the hidden window above and motioned for her to climb up.

Although the path is remote and sparsely populated, the trail is straight and the line of sight is unobstructed, but there is a good chance of spotting anyone passing by.

The coming of night has reduced this risk a little.

You go up first, and I'll hold you up below.

Lin Weixue lip synced to Tian Li.

The breeze of the night passed through the hall, but Tian Li felt a chill down her spine. She stood up straight, and Lin Weixue whispered in her ear: "Offended." Immediately afterwards, Tian Li felt that her feet were light, and her vision was much higher.

The moment her fingertips touched the window, she hurriedly searched for the fulcrum. After having a focus point, she wasted all her strength before she slowly pulled her body to it with her arms.

Ignoring the ashes of her skirt, she quickly poked her head down, of course, she didn't forget the movements around her. Seeing that no one was coming, she dared to whisper to the forest eaves snow below.

Tian Li stretched out her hand and pulled him up.

It wasn't until the other party came up that she relaxed and pinched her arm, and secretly vowed to exercise diligently when she had time.

Looking around, the room was pitch black, and there was even a thick layer of earth ash.

In fact, Tian Li felt it when she touched the ash just now, the temperature in the house was low, and it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time.

There was no light in the room, Tian Li's eyes seemed to be blindfolded, except for the vague outline of Lin Qingxue's figure that could be felt around her, she couldn't see anything that was a little away from her.

Tian Li turned around, wanting to open the window behind her, so that the moonlight could also shine in. As soon as she put her hand on the edge of the window, Lin Xiaoxue stopped: "Don't open it!"

Tian Li's hand paused.

"Close the window." He said.

Tian Li hesitated for a second and gently closed the window, leaving only a small slit.

Now she froze in place and didn't dare to move, she couldn't see it at all.

"Sorry, forgot you couldn't see."

There was a rustling sound behind him, and after a while, a faint light reflected on the wall. Tian Li looked back and saw that Lin Weixue was carrying something similar to a portable lamp in her hand, although it was not very bright, it could be illuminated from a distance.

The light of the fire shone on his well-defined face, which made his handsome face a little softer.

Lin Weixue said softly: "The light is not very bright, if you can't see it, you can pull me."

Now is not the time to pay attention to the difference between men and women. Tian Li was not squirming either, she walked behind the other party and gently grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Although a small lamp could not shine farther, the light of the fire cast a blurred outline on these dusty objects.

The room was very large, and the style of the dress was also according to the style of the aristocratic bedroom.

I just don't know who the owner of this bedroom is.

"This is Cinderella's biological mother's room." Lin Weixue suddenly spoke.

"How do you know?" Tian Li looked at his back.

"I went to see Cinderella the other day, she told me. She said that it was supposed to be her mother's room, but her stepmother, now the hostess of the castle, ordered the bedroom to be cordoned off and driven out of the castle. Only when her father comes back will bring her in. ”

Tian Li sighed: "It's really a cloudy and uncertain hostess, Shen Linling is still locked up by her until now, and she hasn't been released."

"By the way, what are you looking for?"

She followed Lin Weixue to explore the different things in the house, watching the other party repeatedly groping for something on the wall or ornaments.

"Cinderella said that her father's chamber was in the castle and that there was more than one entrance, so she gave me the location of her mother's room, which was here."

"I didn't expect you to have a lot of words." Tian Li asked.

There must have been a lot of deduction progress. That's what she didn't say.

I didn't say the latter sentence, but it sounded a little bit different. Lin Weixue paused for a moment in her inspection, and then replied, "If you go and ask, she will say it."

Tian Li focused on Lin Weixue's sentence "There is more than one entrance to the secret room". Since Cinderella's mother is the wife of a wealthy merchant, in line with the idea of husband and wife, there is a high probability that the entrance to the secret room will also be set up in the wife's bedroom.

After searching for a long time, there was really no clue, Tian Li asked casually, "If it were you, where would you set it?" ”

Lin Weixue thought, "If I love my wife very much, I will set up the mechanism in a place where our memories exist." ”

"If you look at the things here, do you feel that there are a lot of things missing?" Tian Li casually pointed to the huge sandalwood cabinet next to her, and a layer of black ash had accumulated on each layer of cabinets.

But the sandalwood cabinet was almost empty. According to the financial resources of a wealthy businessman, it is impossible to buy such a large cabinet without having enough things to put on them.

With Tian Li's reminder, Lin Weixue also began to think back to the situation when she was exploring just now.

He was just blindly groping for the only remaining things, intending to find the mechanism in a hidden corner, but there were so many things in this room, even the wall above his head could become a clue, and groping for it in this way was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"A lot of things here should have been taken away, and in order to hide people's eyes, that's why they will be sealed." Tian Li continued.

"On the other hand, do you think the mistress of the castle hates Cinderella more now, or does she hate Cinderella's mother more?"

"You mean—" The snow in the eaves of the forest suddenly opened.

The current hostess hates Cinderella's mother, not only stealing Cinderella's biological mother's things, but also bullying her daughter.

Love the house and the black, hate the house and the black. Cinderella is nothing more than a victim of the implication.

"The entrance might be on something Cinderella left behind?"

Tian Li said softly.

With a clue, the goals of the two are obviously much clearer. There were so many things taken from the house that the two quickly locked onto a few things about Cinderella.

Surprisingly, there was indeed something about Cinderella in the house. For example, a worn-out bear doll, a yellowed mural hanging on the wall, or some girlhood clothes in the box.

A mural infested with faint traces attracted Tian Li's attention. This mural depicts a girl in a skirt, and the girl in the mural has dazzling blond hair and a smile that is so bright and moving.

Although the girl was only a few years old, Tian Li recognized the girl in the painting as Cinderella at a glance.

Tian Li said to Lin Weixue, "Take the lamp and take a closer look." ”

Lin Qingxue brought the lamp closer to the mural.

The area next to the painting is stained with traces that resemble a red liquid.

He asked uncertainly, "Is this blood?" ”
