Mo Qing immediately cupped his hands and said, “Yes.” With that, he walked in with his sword.

Shen Miao looked at Mo Qing’s back and was a little dazed. In her previous life and this life, no matter what her identity was, Mo Qing had always been so careful and loyal.

The tearoom was very large and was divided into three rooms by screens. Mo Qing checked carefully and confirmed that there were no assassins hiding inside. Then, he cupped his hands at Shen Miao and said, “Miss, if there’s anything you need, just call me. I’ll wait outside.” With that, he walked out.

After Mo Qing left, Shen Miao walked to the table in front of the tea room. There was a blue tea set on the table that looked priceless. Shen Miao glanced at it and walked on. She walked past the first and second screens and arrived at the third room at the end.

In the third room, the walls were filled with calligraphy and paintings. Looking carefully, one could tell the calligraphy and paintings were from famous artists. Shen Miao scrutinized them one by one, as if she was admiring the works. When she walked up to a painting, she stopped.

It was the painting of a banquet by a painter called Liu Yuan from the previous dynasty. The painting depicted the grand evening banquet in the official mansion of the previous dynasty. The maids were beautiful, and the wine and food were bountiful. The guests all had a joyful smile on their faces. The characters were lifelike, and the ink brush was exquisite and elegant. Among the paintings, it wasn’t the most outstanding one. However, Shen Miao was in a daze, looking at it, as if she was attracted by the scene in the painting.

She stared at the painting for a long time. A moment later, she finally reached out to touch the paper. She ran her finger extremely carefully across the paper until it stopped at the collar of the fat official.

The collar was also very exquisite. Even if it was a painting, when one touched it, they seemed to be able to feel the buttons on the collar.

In fact, Shen Miao did feel a button.

Shen Miao pressed the button down, and a soft clicking sound was heard.

Followed by the sound, the wall that was filled with art works suddenly split into two, revealing something that looked like a secret room. From the outside, one could only see a long corridor with torches illuminating it.

Shen Miao heaved a sigh of relief and walked in without hesitation.

…

In the innermost part of the secret room, there was a coffin. The lid of the coffin had been lifted, revealing the things inside. There were two people standing in front of the coffin. One was dressed in purple, and the other was dressed in white. They were Xie Jingxing and Gao Yang.

Xie Jingxing was holding a bright yellow cloth bag in his hand. It was unknown what was in the bag, but it looked heavy. Gao Yang smiled and said, “Prince Yu, that old dog, actually hid this thing here. If not for the massacre of the Chen family last night, we would probably have to go through a lot of trouble to find this thing.”

“That’s why I told you to wait and see.” Xie Jingxing said, “Let’s see if there’s anything else around.”

Gao Yang nodded and looked around. “Speaking of which, Old Dog Yu didn’t even leave a guard here. This place must be very secret. I’m afraid no one else knows.”

“The Fu family is paranoid.” Xie Jingxing said lazily, “If it were you, wouldn’t you hide it?”

“Of course I will hide it.” Gao Yang waved his fan and smiled extremely gently. However, the words that came out of his mouth were very terrifying. “If I were Old Dog Yu, if anyone finds this place, no matter who it is, they must die. Old Dog Yu did a pretty good job in making this place a secret.”
