"you!"
Mo Shixi was caught off guard and turned her head, and her heart sank when she saw Huan Rongxing's dark expression.
She stared at the door. Through the crack in the door, she could hear footsteps coming and going outside the door. If she listened carefully, she could also hear the sounds of vendors selling goods across the street.
What a lively scene of life!
That was still the freedom she dreamed of, just one step away. Could she be so resigned to her fate?
Mo Shixi was reluctant and took a step towards the door. She heard Huan Rongxing's threatening tone behind her saying, "How dare you!"
There was nothing she dared not do, but the fact that she couldn't escape easily even if she got out of this door prevented her from taking this step.
"Brother Huan."
Mo Shixi didn't speak anymore, her mouth was pursed tightly, and her eyes looked at Huan Rongxing beggingly as if they could speak.
Huan Rongxing strode over, took off his black cloak and placed it on her body, then picked her up by the waist, cutting off her last hope of escaping.
"Let me go, let me go."
After being picked up, Mo Shixi waved her arms and kicked her legs randomly, trying to get out of the man's arms. Her face turned red, like a living shrimp still struggling for its fate before being put into the pot.
Huan Rongxing's face was as dark as water. He suddenly closed his palms and hugged the woman in his arms tightly. He took bigger steps and soon returned to the familiar master bedroom.
Mo Shixi was hit on the bed and bounced up slightly.
"Shi Xi, why are you running away?"
Why? Don’t you know why?
Mo Shixi cursed, but she was already very tired and didn't want to say a word to him, so she turned her head and faced the wall and ignored him.
The air is filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and the silence becomes more oppressive.
Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted the silent struggle between the two.
"Sir, Mr. Qin and Miss Ruan are clamoring at the door and insisting on coming in. The guards can no longer stop them."
Before Huan Rongxing spoke, Mo Shixi blinked thoughtfully.
Qin and Ruan? Such a familiar last name.
There is a high possibility that it is Brother Qin and Miss Jiaxin. They must not know what Huan Rongxing did.
He then heard Huan Rongxing say, "I understand. Lead them to the study. I'll be there later."
As long as she exposes Huan Rongxing in front of the two of them, she will definitely have a chance to leave here and return to the peaceful mountains.
Thinking of this, Mo Shixi's eyes lit up, and hope arose in her heart again. She couldn't help but turn around and look at Huan Rongxing, looking forward to when he would leave to meet the guests.
But who would have thought that Huan Rongxing did not leave directly. He picked up Mo Shixi again and walked to the inner room.
He didn't know where to press the door, and there was a creaking sound of the door opening. He carried the person into the space that suddenly appeared, and then the door closed.
Mo Shixi's mind became confused. The secret room was not bright. The dim light was a silent space, which was a bit scary.
The point is, there is no way out after the door is closed.
She now had a very bad feeling in her heart.
Huan Rongxing controlled Mo Shixi's struggling movements and walked all the way in, finally stopping on a big bed.
Mo Shixi was thrown onto the bed again.
She struggled and knelt down on the bright red mandarin duck brocade quilt, looking unhappy.
"What are you going to do? Brother Qin and Miss Ruan are here. Even if you want to trap me here, you won't be able to trap me for long."
"Really? Do you believe him that much?"
Mo Shixi simply didn't know what he was going crazy about. No matter what he said, he would be twisted into trusting or liking Qin Songyun.
The anger of both of them was uncontrollable. Huan Rongxing still cared about Mo Shixi, but his expression was stiff and he refused to say anything soft.
But Mo Shixi had nothing to think about and just broke up with him, adding salt to his wounds with every word she said.
Huan Rongxing looked ugly, clenched his fists and had bulging veins. After enduring it for a long time, he still did nothing and walked out the door.
Mo Shixi didn't know how to hold back and scolded him angrily, using all the vicious words she could think of.
It stands to reason that people outside the secret room should be able to hear such a loud sound, but Qin Songyun and the two of them, who were talking to their trusted brother Huan, did not notice it.
In the study.
Qin Songyun: "Miss Mo has disappeared since her wedding day. We have searched everywhere but can't find her. I wonder if we will encounter any danger. Brother Huan, should we report her to the official?"
Ruan Jiaxin also agreed: "Yes, Miss Mo is powerless. We must find her as soon as possible to prevent her from being in any danger."
To a certain extent, Ruan Jiaxin and Mo Shixi can be regarded as love rivals, but now that their love rival has disappeared, she can't sit idly by.
On the contrary, Huan Rongxing, who used to take great care of Mo Shixi, was unusually calm: "No need. I found a farewell letter in her room. There was something going on in the mountains, so she left first."
Qin Songyun: "No way, Miss Mo disappeared on the sedan chair!"
Someone raised a question, and those who couldn't speak in the secret room said "huh huh" in agreement, but unfortunately no one knew.
Qin Songyun and Ruan Jiaxin were fooled by Huan Rongxing with some random reasons. After all, they were the elder brothers they had always trusted. They could only leave with their doubts that were not completely resolved.
After walking out of the mansion, Qin Songyun still felt that something was not right, so he simply told Ruan Jiaxin a few words and then flew in from the side wall.
The maids and servants in the house searched everywhere. Even the door of the bedroom where Huan Rongxing lived was pushed open and searched, but found nothing.
"Did I misunderstand Brother Huan?"
Qin Songyun questioned softly. He couldn't find anything suspicious, so he finally put aside his doubts about her, closed the bedroom door, and left the mansion.
But he didn't know that after he left, a person's hopes were completely shattered.
Mo Shixi was very happy when she heard the nearby door being pushed open and even the sound of searching.
As the locations were searched to no avail, she could only call for help silently, making the doubtful person doubt herself until she left.
The sound of the door being closed was heard, and a crystal tear flashed from the corner of Mo Shixi's eyes.
She wanted to speak loudly or make some noise to alert people outside, but she couldn't.
In the dark secret room, there was only a large red wedding bed, inside which lay a graceful and beautiful girl wearing a dark cloak.
The mixture of deep ink and bright red looks extremely charming.
As I got closer, I felt like something was stimulating my brain.
Because the girl was not sleeping peacefully on the bed, her hands and ankles were gently tied to the four square shelves of the bed with bright red silk strips.
Even the mouth was stuffed with a short piece of red silk.
Mo Shixi felt very ashamed when she thought of how after she cursed happily, a tall man knelt down on top of her body, pulled out a few bright red silk strips from under the bed, and carefully wrapped them around her limbs.
Tears fell unconsciously.
"Shixi, what's wrong?"
A ghostly and scary voice appeared in her ears. Mo Shixi's body couldn't help but trembled, and her face instantly turned pale.
