After being forced to marry a tyrant: I overturned the original plot

Qin Xin not only had experience this time, but was also well prepared.

She changed into a maid's clothes, tidied her hair, and gave Shuang'er some instructions.

"Same as last time, you know?"

“…I understand.”

Shuang'er's big eyes were full of confusion. Is the Queen... addicted to being a thief?

But she didn't steal anything...it was really strange.

System: You don’t have to interfere in these matters…

It expressed disapproval of Qin Xin's behavior of asking for trouble.

Qin Xin: Yes, so I’m leaving it to you.

System: ...Qin Xin, you can't always force me to break the rules!

Qin Xin: That’s easy, just unbind me. You want to stay with me and expect me to complete tasks, but you are not willing to help. You are wishful thinking.

This time, Qin Xin did not block the system——

It's still useful.

The system was so angry that it wanted to go offline, but failed.

Maybe he was afraid that if he went offline, he would be finished along with Qin Xin, his troublesome host.

Following the system's resentful instructions, Qin Xin perfectly avoided all the guards.

And under the "warning" issued by the system for the purpose of "self-protection", he avoided the fatal mechanism.

Qin Xin raised the corners of his lips and thought to himself: How dare I come to this dangerous place without any way out?

Gu Fei is her way of survival outside, and the system is the life-saving talisman she carries with her.

Of course, the person she should rely on the most is herself.

Having suffered many hardships at the hands of his master over the years, he had already mastered the skills to save his life and escape.

Qin Xin followed the same route as the mute woman, so she felt relaxed. She glanced at the house opposite.

Sure enough, the mute woman was not there.

Qin Xin became alert and approached the dark room. He took a thin, rotating copper wire and fiddled with the lock on the locked front door.

After a "click", the lock opened.

She held the lock to avoid making any noise that might alert the guards outside.

Master, Master, what kind of legendary figure is he, who can make a copper wire that can be like a “master key”?

Putting away his emotions, Qin Xin tiptoed into the house.

Take out the tinder and blow it up.

I looked down and was shocked.

It turned out that there was a big pit just before entering the door.

The trap is set here, and anyone who comes here for the first time will definitely be in trouble.

Fortunately, she valued her life and did not move her limbs until light was available.

After walking around the big pit, Qin Xin walked to the middle of the room and looked around.

It was empty, with only two boxes...

Her eyes fell on the place where the box was placed instead of the chair, and she moved closer in confusion.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he retracted it. To be on the safe side, he took a wooden stick and gently touched the box.

"Shhhh-"

Two hidden arrows were shot out from behind the screens on both sides of the box.

Qin Xin's eyes narrowed, and not only did he move far away and quickly move away, he also kicked the short arrow that was about to fall into the big pit at the door.

The movements are done in one go.

Qin Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

so close.

The Duke of Ningguo is really meticulous in his thinking. He has set traps everywhere. It is obvious... that there are many "shady" people imprisoned inside.

Qin Xin looked at the box and suddenly remembered the mud on the bottom of the mute woman's feet...

As soon as she opened her eyes, she squatted in front of the box and gently pried it open with a stick. This time, it was fine. Inside were dazzling jewels.

It does look expensive, but...

Mostly a smoke screen.

Seeing that there was nothing hidden in the box, Qin Xin knocked the floor gently with the stick again.

is empty.

That is to say-

There is a hidden world underneath!

Who would have thought that the black room was just a trick? And underneath was the secret room of Liu Qingzang?

Qin Xin bit her lip, feeling that she had gained a lot today.

——Sister System, there are no guards down there, right?

Qin Xin felt that there probably wasn't one, otherwise there wouldn't be any need to set up guards outside, traps in the yard, and hidden weapons in the house.

Seeing Qin Xin eager to try, the system said in a desperate tone: No.

Qin Xin: Okay, sister.

Then he moved the box away, and sure enough, the two wooden boards opened, revealing a staircase large enough for one person to go down.

Pitch black.

Qin Xin used a fire stick to look around and found that the steps were not deep.

She bent down and walked down.

A long and narrow tunnel was dug underneath.

Qin Xin held a fire starter, pulled out a dagger from his boots, and walked forward slowly.

Until there is no road.

She saw a stone door.

I followed the example in TV dramas, knocking a few times here, pressing a few times there, rotating a few times, and even kicking a few stones in front of the stone gate away...

No one opened the door.

"..."

How should I put it? It's a bit embarrassing.

She pursed her lips and was thinking of a way to get in. The system saw that she was far away from the door and seemed to be defending against hidden weapons...

I couldn't help but say angrily: Why don't you just push it directly!

Qin Xin: “…”

How come there is such a primitive method?

So what is this door for?

To fool smart people?

Qin Xin pushed the stone door open without much effort.

Come to think of it, the mute woman is older than her, so she could push her away.

The moment the stone door opened, a faint fragrance wafted from inside.

Qin Xin's nose twitched. It was the incense coming from Ningguo Duke Liu Qing.

In other words, he had been here too.

Qin Xin walked in and couldn't help frowning as she looked at the dark room that was decorated so exquisitely and warmly.

This makes it seem like a hidden beauty in a golden house...

Although it was a dark underground room, it was brightly lit and there were flowers.

Walking further in, Qin Xin passed the screen and saw a woman chained to the bed.

Her hair was scattered and her appearance was completely ruined. Only the white hair in her hair could tell that she was not young. The knife marks on the woman's face shocked Qin Xin. How much hatred must the person who did it have...

That's why he cut the face so hard that it is unrecognizable.

Qin Xin bit her lip and clenched the fire lighter. The woman's hands and feet were tied and she had her eyes closed.

It seemed as if he heard some noise.

She said in a hoarse voice: "Mammy, you are here again..."

The nanny is... a mute?

Qin Xin didn't dare to say anything, and the woman didn't open her eyes, but continued.

"Yesterday I heard from Liu Qing that you were injured. Are you okay?"

Not hearing a response, the woman smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Look at me, I forgot you can't speak anymore... Who are you?"

As she spoke, the woman opened her eyes. When she saw a young and pretty girl, she didn't get nervous or panic. She just hesitated for a moment and asked.

When the woman raised her eyes, Qin Xin found that her eyes... looked a little familiar.

Before she was disfigured, she must have been a beauty. Her figure, temperament and eyes could not deceive anyone.

"I... am a maid who accidentally came here. Senior, who are you? Why are you trapped in this dark room?"

The woman remained calm, and had the dignified and elegant temperament of a lady from a noble family.

"You came here on purpose. You are definitely not a maid in the Duke's Mansion. Who are you?"

Still very smart.

Qin Xin thought, that’s right, how could a maid escape through all the traps and get here?

Flashing the dagger, Qin Xin raised the corner of his lips slightly and looked at the woman. She was indeed wearing the Yunmian brocade undershirt and a fox fur coat on the outside.

It must be fear of the cold.

"If you are a good person, then I will be the one who saves you."

The woman looked back at Qin Xin's clear eyes calmly without reacting.

Then Qin Xin continued:

"If not, I might be the one to help you out."

What a clever girl.

Save the good and kill the bad?

No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like he wants to help her.

That's a fresh way of saying it.

The woman chuckled.

"The world outside has changed a lot, hasn't it? Are all the girls out there as interesting as you now?"

She looked at Qin Xin.

"You don't have to save me, but you can help me pass a message to someone."

Qin Xin stared at the unrecognizable face and asked persistently.

"Then can you tell me who you are? Why did Duke Ningguo lock you up?"

"My last name is Liu."
