Chapter 134: Exploring the Ancestral Hall at Night
At this moment, the third watch has passed, and it is the time when the wind is high and the moon is dark.

Half an hour ago, after listening to Xiao Chan sing several times, Ye Chu had already fallen asleep contentedly.And just now, even the night watchman who patrolled according to the usual practice wandered around the mansion carelessly before going to rest.

Following that, the entire Ye Mansion was also plunged into darkness.

However, in this darkness, there is a separate courtyard in the back house, where candlelight still flickers.

That was the room where Aunt Zhao lived.

Tonight, Ye Rong did not spend the night with Aunt Zhao, but left her alone in the vacant room.

In the room, the tall candles were almost burnt out.

At this time, Aunt Zhao was sitting quietly by the bed, her eyes were cold and cold, which was quite different from her usual image.If Ye Rong were here, he might be scared to death.

Looking at her body again, I don't know when she got up, she has already changed into a set of night clothes.And that tight-fitting outfit also fully highlighted her plump figure.

Today is a special day for the entire Ye Mansion.

Of course, apart from reuniting with the Qin family and establishing contact, there is actually another reason, and that is the ninth day of March, which is the death day of Ye Rong's original wife, Ning Yao.

Since Ning Yao died of illness, for so many years, every year on the ninth night of March, Ye Rong would silently mourn his deceased wife in the main room of the back house until dawn.

Except for Steward Liu and her, almost no one in the house knew about this matter, even Ye Chu was not very clear about it.

But tonight, Aunt Zhao's gloomy face was not because of this matter, but for another purpose.Otherwise, she wouldn't be dressed like this.

Two days ago, she had no choice but to kill a nun in Cijing Nunnery.Although she dealt with it seamlessly afterwards, upon careful consideration, she found that there were still loopholes.

After all, Wen Lan sneaked into the Ye Mansion in broad daylight, so it was hard to guarantee that no outsiders would find out.Once the people from Cijing Temple noticed it and followed the leak, they could easily lock it on her body.

She knew very well that in her capacity, she couldn't hide all this from Mrs. Jingguan.

At that time, her double-faced identity will be exposed, and she will have to tear her skin apart.

Not to mention this, the more serious consequence is that the ten-year layout of the hidden prince will be destroyed in an instant.And she will inevitably become the abandoned child of both parties immediately and be silenced by them.

Therefore, she must take advantage of the time when Master Jingguan has not left seclusion to try her best to find such things hidden in Ye Mansion and return her life to the master.

In the past ten years, Aunt Zhao has searched every corner of Ye Mansion no less than a hundred times.Even some places in the courtyard that she considered suspicious were dug up under the pretext of planting flowers and trees.

Even Ye Family's Ancestral Temple, which is easy and difficult to access, she took the opportunity to go in secretly to check it several times, but still found nothing.

Such a result sometimes made her wonder if what the master said was actually in the Ye Mansion.

But Huangtian paid off, and Aunt Zhao finally found something in the ancestral hall this evening.

It was getting dark at that time, and Aunt Zhao took advantage of the time when everyone in the house was waiting in the front yard for the master to return, and sneaked into the Ye family ancestral temple again.

In her mind, if what the master said was true, then that thing was probably hidden somewhere in the ancestral hall.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the door, she found a series of footprints on the ground.Without thinking about it, she knew it was left by Ye Rong and his son at noon.

However, every once in a while, Ye Rong would go in and clean the ancestral hall in person, and would never let the ancestor's spiritual position be dusted, let alone leave such clear footprints.

And the most critical point, these footprints were obviously left when they left!
This shows what?
Obviously, there must be another world in the Ye Family Ancestral Temple.And these footprints were left by Ye Rong and his son when they went in and came out again.

It's a pity that before Aunt Zhao could find the source of the footprints, Ye Rong and his son had already returned.In desperation, she had to leave.

And tonight, she was going to visit the ancestral hall again, and she was determined to find that secret room.Otherwise, if the master cleans up the ancestral hall tomorrow, it will take a lot of effort to find it later.

Her time is really running out now!

After reconfirming that the night watchman had fallen asleep, Aunt Zhao finally left.

And just after she left the room, the candles just burned out, and the entire Ye Mansion was completely plunged into darkness.

At the same time, Mrs. Jing Xiao, who had been hiding in the other courtyard, was stunned when she saw Aunt Zhao leaving the residence in night clothes.

"Hmph, I didn't expect my senior sister and I to miss it. You really have a problem!"

After all, Master Jing Xiao covered her face with a mask and quietly followed.

The Ye Family Ancestral Hall is located at the back of the main residence of the Ye Mansion. Under normal circumstances, outsiders are not allowed to approach women.

After tapping Ye Rong's sleeping point, Aunt Zhao went straight to her destination.

Soon, she came to the gate of the ancestral hall.

Even though she knew no one was around, Aunt Zhao still looked around cautiously.Then he took out the key he got from Ye Rong, and opened the door swiftly.

Pushing open the door, Aunt Zhao entered the ancestral hall with just a flash, and then the door was closed tightly again.

Zhao Man couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief as he opened the fire folder he carried with him and took a photo of it on the ground.

Fortunately, the footprints are still there.Fortunately, today is the death day of that bitch.Otherwise, how could these footprints remain until now.

Thinking of this, Zhao Man actually felt very uncomfortable.

It would be unreasonable to say that she had no feelings for Ye Rong over the years.Even having children, the fake show has already been done for real.

Although Ye Rong loved her very much, he was still no match for Ning Yao, who had passed away many years ago.Some clues can be seen from the fact that she is still living in another courtyard.

In fact, if Ye Rong really wanted her to live in Ning Yao's room, she would refuse.After all, Ning Yao's death was also caused by her, and she didn't want to blame herself.

But all these years, Ye Rong didn't even have this intention, how could she not hate her!
Following these footprints, Zhao Man quickly found the place where the footprints disappeared, and in front of him, it was a wall blocking the way.

"It seems that the secret room should be behind this wall."

Zhao Man swung the Huozhezi around and said thoughtfully.

Then, she began to search carefully on the wall.Knock here for a while, press there for a while.

Unfortunately, after half a day, Zhao Man still couldn't find the switch.

"Is the switch located here on the spiritual tablet?" As he spoke, Zhao Man looked at the rows of spiritual tablets in the center, but happened to see an unmarked tablet at the back.

Just when she was about to check it, there was a slight sound from outside the door.

"Who?"
