“Madam, why did you come personally?” Lu Xing quickly got up and helped her sit on a chair.

“I’m here to look for Magu. Do you have any news about her?”

“No, Magu didn’t come back after she left last night.

“Today, I went out during the day to look for her, but there were no signs of her at all.” At this point, Lu Xing thought of what happened during the day and asked, “Did something happen in the residence? I saw that the first household’s people were also looking for Magu.”

Mrs. Lu did not hide anything and told him about the dead maidservant in the residence and the old madam’s suspicion that Magu did it. She added with a frustrated expression, “It doesn’t help that Magu’s nephew, Xiao Xu, has been missing for a few days.”

“Could it be that Magu sent Xiao Xu on another errand?”

“That’s possible. Since you haven’t slept yet, let’s go to Magu’s house and see what’s going on.”

“I’ll go by myself. It’s late at night; you should go back and rest early.”

“No. Let’s go. I’ll feel uneasy if I don’t go there personally.”

“Alright then.” Lu Xing nodded and pulled a small carriage. He brought her to Scholarflower Lane in the southern part of the city.

When they arrived at No. 4, their hearts sank when they saw the locked door.

“Open the door; we must see it clearly today.”

Lu Xing nodded, then removed a hairpin from his head. He went forward and fiddled with the lock a few times before opening it.

After entering the house and lighting the oil lamp, Lu Xing scanned the room and frowned. “It looks like Magu didn’t pack up and leave.”

The old lady ignored him and looked around the room carefully.

After confirming that Magy didn’t run away, not only did she not relax, she became even more uneasy.

After all, she had just asked Magu to tamper with the wood of Gu Chengrui’s restaurant.

She feared Magu was caught, as she would be in trouble if she confessed something.

“Madam, we should leave. We cannot let the people in the residence discover anything unusual.” Lu Xing urged her at this moment.

“Okay, let’s go.” Mrs. Lu nodded, turned around, and walked out.

When she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of the secret room Magu had mentioned and immediately returned.

She fumbled around the bed and quickly found the mechanism.

Then, the two of them moved the bed to the side.

When she saw the empty secret room, Mrs. Lu’s eyes went black, and she almost fainted.

Seeing this, Lu Xing also knew the implications. The problem was, he wasn’t sure if this meant Magu had confessed or if she had escaped with the things.

Then, he helped Mrs. Lu sit on the bed and said, “Madam, you have to hold on.”

“Quick, take me back to the other side of the secret room.” Mrs. Lu urged him, immediately stood up, and walked out.

Seeing this, Lu Xing could only blow out the lamp and chase after her.

After the two returned to the small courtyard, they quickly descended the tunnel and came to the other end.

This time, Mrs. Lu couldn’t care less about her family’s ancestors and re-lit an oil lamp in the middle of the room.

She lifted a black cloth and went inside the secret room.

When she saw the empty room, her vision turned black. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground stiffly. This gave Lu Xing a ma.s.sive fright.

Of course, when he saw the empty secret room, his legs also went weak and buckled.

What was supposed to be here were more than half of their branch’s a.s.sets, but now…

He picked up the oil lamp and carried the old madam out of the dark room.

He carefully placed her on a mattress in the ancestral hall, rekindled the oil lamp, and walked out while carefully examining the place..
