The maid suddenly slowed down and said in a low voice, "Everyone, the Yin Sha Hall is just around the corner."
She, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said this sentence, making one wonder if she had other deep meanings.
Xia Yuanqiu also slowed down his pace, and lightly brushed the people behind him with his hand. Everyone, together with her and the two maids, disappeared, as if no one had ever appeared in this long alleyway.
The moment the maid spoke, Xia Yuanqiu knew that she had made up her mind to help them.
She deliberately told her that the Yin Shatang was just around the corner, and she wanted her to do it quickly before it was too late.
Sure enough, after the two maids entered the space, they found that the place outside of them was not the eerie Wangchuan. There were no evil spirits hiding in the dark to watch them, and there was no cruel and vicious Lord He Gu. Kneeling down on the ground, he kowtowed to Xia Yuanqiu and cried, "Please help me, girl!"
Xia Yuanqiu stretched out his hands to help the two of them up, and said: "Don't worry, speak slowly!"
The thick powder on their faces was wetted by tears, and the black eye sockets were also lightened by the washing of tears. They looked like the clowns she had seen in the 21st century, very funny and pitiful.
The maid said: "My name is Lian'er, and she is Xiang'er. We used to be maids who served Guzhu Han, but since Guzhu Han married Guzhu He, he has gradually mastered the real power in the valley. Let the wife rest well, so that he can share some of the burden for her."
"But later, the child was born and was taken care of by a nanny, and someone from Guzhong came to sue Guzhu Han, saying that Guzhu He used his power for personal gain, amassing money recklessly, and disregarding human life. Unexpectedly, in just over a year, all the important positions in the valley were replaced by his people, and even the guards who usually guarded the safety of the valley were handpicked by him. Now, everyone only recognizes He Qiguang, but not She is the Han Valley Master."
"She broke up with He Qiguang, and wanted to drive him out of the valley, but who knows, He Qiguang shamelessly threatened her with the newborn child of Lord Han Gu, forcing her to abdicate on her own initiative, and——"
Xia Yuanqiu saw that maid's expression was sad and terrified, as if she had thought of something terrible, so she didn't dare to say any more.
Xia Yuanqiu stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder, and said softly: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, don't be afraid, now that we are here, everything will be fine."
The maid seemed to have courage again, she slightly raised her head, looked at Xia Yuanqiu who was half a head taller than her, and said: "Even if I am afraid, I will speak out, so that He Qiguang's evil deeds will be exposed to the public."
She took a deep breath and glanced at Xiang'er. Xiang'er nodded to her, as if encouraging her, hoping that she would tell the truth.
Lian'er finally opened her mouth and said: "For the sake of his daughter's life, Guzhu Han had no choice but to agree to his unreasonable request and surrender the position of Guzhu to him. With my special ability, I recruited female ghosts for him, and then let the female ghosts go on the bodies of us maids for his entertainment."
That painful memory seemed to be found in the tenth hell. Lian'er burst into tears. She suddenly raised her hand and rubbed her face with her sleeves. When the sleeves were put down, her face was wrinkled and sallow. , as if the essence of the body was sucked dry by evil things.
Xiang'er also rubbed her face with her sleeve, and then her face was revealed, just like Lian'er.
