After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 381: The King of Hell's Guillotine
"nonsense!"

When Tu Huan heard the older woman's anxious voice, she couldn't help but move her body and prick up her ears to listen carefully.

A faint, desperate sigh.

The young woman said in frustration, "If this is exposed, my child and I will die. Mother Wang, I really don't know where I can go to survive."

Tu Huan suddenly realized that the woman who gave her advice late at night was named Wang.

"Women have a hard life in this world, and I... I am in this situation. Others are pregnant, and mothers are honored by their children. But what is in my belly? This is the guillotine of the King of Hell!"

A suppressed sobbing sound rang in Tu Huan's ears.

She felt sad just hearing that.

She heard the woman surnamed Wang patting her gently, and she could hear a series of sighs.

Tu Huan was a little anxious. "Stop crying, both of you. What happened?"
Although she had vaguely guessed the other party's identity, she didn't know the inside story without close observation. Even someone in the corner could hear it, so how could she hear it all? She was stuck in the middle, unable to sleep.

This girl is pregnant, yet so unhappy.

Tu Huan felt that this matter was definitely not as simple as Han Qiguang and Xie Yuchuan understood.

At this time, I don’t know whether Han Qiguang has returned or not.

She listened first before speaking.

Perhaps because her desire to understand was too strong, the young woman finally stopped complaining and remained quiet for a while.

"Girl, drink some water to moisten your throat."

"Okay, thank you, Mother Wang."

"Well, it's my blessing to be able to serve you, young lady. If you hadn't protected me that day, I would have been beaten to death by the people in the mansion. I wouldn't have survived these days. So, young lady Yu, you are still young and have a long life ahead of you. Don't be foolish here. When you have children in the future, maybe life will be better."

Hearing the sounds of drinking water, Tu Huan could not help but open her eyes. She stood up and took two sips. She also grabbed a handful of candy beans from the snack box on the table and continued listening.

"If I can really look forward to that day, it would be great. I am afraid that I, Yu Ji, am not lucky enough to live to see that day."

"No, Miss Yu has a kind heart, is blessed with a good fate, and will be rewarded."

"Mother Wang, I want to turn over and sit up, can you help me?"

"Be careful, come, I'll help you."

After a lot of panting and tossing, my ear finally got better.

Tu Huan understood. The younger one, named Yu Ji, was pregnant now. She might be the "wife and children hostages" of Wan Lichun who was held in Yu Mansion by Han Qiguang. The older one should have been a servant in Yu Mansion. He must have received the favor of Yu Ji and saved his life, so he stayed by Yu Ji's side to serve her.

She asked the system to search everyone in the mansion during the day. After a round of searches, she found that there were more than one or two pregnant people in the mansion. Together with the master and the maids, there were more than a handful of pregnant women, some of whom knew the month of pregnancy and some who didn't even know they were pregnant. It was said that there were many secrets in the mansion. To be honest, if Tu Huan hadn't relied on the power of technology, she would have had no idea.

On the surface, this mansion was well-behaved and upright, and looked extremely wealthy.

The Yu family is indeed a prominent family in Yucheng.

Tu Huan took a look around and was deeply touched.

The voice in her ear sounded unfamiliar, but she tried to find it among the faces she had seen before. It seemed to match vaguely, but it also felt a little different.

Soon, the voice beside her gave her the answer.

"Maybe I slept too much during the day and my body is tired. Now it's late at night and I can't sleep."

When Tu Huan heard the young woman say this, a picture flashed through her memory.

"Girl, let me peel some fruit for you."

"Thank you, Mama Wang. Please prepare two of them so we can eat together."

"That won't work. This valuable item was sent here with great difficulty by Master Wan. He brought it here personally. If it was brought here by someone else like in the past, the Madam might not let it go."

"What he gave was also stolen from others, what's the difference?"

Tu Huan raised her eyebrows. Now she was sure.

This girl named Yu Ji is Wan Lichun’s woman.

She opened her eyes, sat up straight, and immediately opened the system interface, "Tongzi, help me determine the exact source of this sound."

She was not satisfied with listening to gossip from a distance, so she planned to go to Yu Ji and see it with her own eyes.

System: [OK, host, please wait. ]

Soon, the system found Yu Ji's exact location, sent the coordinates to Tu Hua, and asked kindly:
[Does the system need to assist the host to reach the coordinate position? ]

"it is good."

*
It was a cold and gloomy room surrounded by stone walls on all sides, with only a few oil lamps on the wall. From what one could see, the space was not small, but it seemed long and narrow and cramped. The cold stone walls even extended above one's head, making one feel very depressed.

At least that's how Tu Huan felt when she was sent here by the system.

She looked at the place illuminated by the lights, with simple tables, chairs, benches, and some daily necessities. It didn't look like a normal house at all, and there wasn't even a window. But after walking a few steps inside, she saw some seemingly valuable things piled abruptly in the bright living space.

Tu Huan couldn't help but frown, "Where is this place in Yu Mansion? Why is it like this?"

The system replied: [Underground of Frost Courtyard, right below the host's villa. ]

"Ah?" Tu Huan was stunned. "Under my house? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

[The host has not made such a request before. ]

Tu Huan: “…” It’s definitely intentional!
[It is located deep underground and is one of the dark rooms in the Yu Mansion. ]

Tu Huan was even more surprised. "One of the secret rooms? So there are other secret passages in the Yu Mansion?"

[Yes, there are authentic ones. ]

Tu Huan looked back at the two short dark red wooden doors behind her when she came in. The system reminded her in her ear that the doors were wrapped in iron sheets and locked.

"That means Yu Ji and the servants who take care of her are locked up underground every day?"

The system does not express an opinion on the relationships between humans.

Tu Huan suddenly appeared in the underground secret room. The master and servant living in the room were completely unaware.

Tu Huan saw a young woman with a bulging belly, leaning against the bed by the wall. In front of her was a woman sitting on the edge of the bed taking care of her. The master and servant were chatting casually.

Tu Huan could see that although the furnishings in the basement were simple, the things used by the young woman all looked like fine items. The brocade quilts, gorgeous clothes, and the bowls, chopsticks, and tea sets on the table all looked quite exquisite.

Those daily necessities seemed somewhat out of place with the other regular items in the basement.

It seems that the other things were brought in later.

Tu Huan frowned deeply. How could a pregnant woman live in a place like this?
