Bai Yingying didn't dare look at He Yuzhui and spoke in a vague tone.

"It's just a key!"

"you..."

He Yuzhu was so angry when he saw Bai Yingying's expression.

I wanted to scold her, but when I saw her big belly, I swallowed the curse back.

The room fell silent for a moment. He Yuzhu digested his previous emotions and said with a trembling voice:

"Yingying, just tell me the truth, otherwise I really doubt that we disappeared for no reason that day."

"I really mean it, it's a key."

Bai Yingying reached out and grabbed He Yuzhu's arm, and said in a very affirmative tone.

"Okay, even if it is a key, what does it open? Tell me the truth."

"This is...."

"Don't tell me it's the key to your Bai family's basement."

"Why can't this be the key to our basement?"

"Because these mysterious methods are simply not something that ordinary people can use."

He Yuzhu's face looked very ugly, and there was some anger in his tone.

This Bai Yingying simply treated him as a fool and was unwilling to tell him the truth.

He Yuzhu looked at Bai Yingying's belly with gloomy eyes, and he suddenly began to doubt Bai Yingying's motives for marrying him.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time, and then Bai Yingying's straight shoulders collapsed.

She remembered what He Yuzhu had told her about the dangers of reading letters during the day when they were having dinner that night. She felt anxious for a moment, but finally compromised:

"Okay, I'll tell you."

"Say it, I'm listening."

He Yuzhu didn't care about Bai Yingying's emotions. He leaned against the head of the bed with his arms folded, waiting to listen.

"This is the key to an unknown underground palace, which our Bai family's ancestor accidentally obtained."

After a while, He Yuzhu, who was still waiting to hear what was to come, spoke up:

"Go on!"

"That's all!"

"Finished?"

"Well, several generations of the Bai family have been searching for this underground palace, but unfortunately there is no clue at all."

Seeing that He Yuzhu looked unconvinced, Bai Yingying hurriedly explained.

"Then how do you know this is the key to an underground palace?"

He Yuzhu now didn't dare to believe Bai Yingying's words and asked.

"That's what our ancestors said when they brought it back."

Bai Yingying touched her belly with her hand and said with a relaxed look.

"This...besides you, the Bai family, who else knows about this?"

He Yuzhu thought of the piece of wood that was sent with the letter at noon, and asked helplessly.

He couldn't tell whether Bai Yingying's words were true or false, but for the sake of the child in her belly, He Yuzhu didn't want to really turn against her.

"I don't know this either."

Bai Yingying shook her head and said innocently.

After the two events today, He Yuzhu secretly made a decision. He glanced at Bai Yingying and asked in a very serious tone:

"Yingying, do you want something in this underground palace?"

"I don't want it. If we take out the things left by the Bai family, it will be enough for us to live for several lifetimes."

Bai Yingying was brought up in pampered condition, and even after returning to her biological father, she never suffered. She didn't care about money at all.

This key has been the obsession of the Bai family's ancestors, but now the development of things has gone beyond her control, and she also wants to throw this hot potato away.

"I decided to give this thing away."

"To whom?"

Bai Yingying didn't expect that He Yuzhu would have this idea.

"Give it to Xu Changping, if he wants it."

I don’t know why, maybe it was because Xu Changping came to the rescue both times when he encountered accidents, He Yuzhu inexplicably believed that Xu Changping would be able to deal with the person behind the scenes.

"Even if I give it to him, the people behind it won't know about it!"

Bai Yingying stared at He Yuzhu and said.

He Yuzhu rubbed his forehead and prepared to tell Bai Yingying his thoughts.

"Let me ask you, how long has this thing been in your Bai family's hands?"

"It has been passed down to me for exactly five generations."

Bai Yingying blurted out without thinking.

"Before I took out the hide inside, did anyone come to you?"

"That... really isn't the case. Are you saying the problem lies with that piece of animal skin?"

Bai Yingying hesitated for a moment, then immediately realized what He Yuzhu meant, and said in great surprise.

"That's what I doubt."

He Yuzhu didn't play any tricks on her and just nodded in response.

"Then why don't we just hand over the hide?"

As soon as Bai Yingying finished speaking, she slapped herself on the mouth.

Since they don't want to stay, it would be better to give them to Xu Changping than to the person who harmed them behind the scenes, and they can get some benefits.

"If Xu Changping doesn't accept it, I plan to find a way to hand over the hide."

He Yuzhu glanced at Bai Yingying and said solemnly.

"Then do as you wish."

Bai Yingying didn't have any good solution and sighed helplessly.

"Since you agree, I will deliver the things to Xu Changping now without further delay."

He Yuzhu was very clear that the means of the person behind the scenes were not something they could deal with. It would be a loss if they risked their lives for something they didn't know.

He even suspected that the other party had come to their house to search, but because they didn't find the animal skin scroll, they attacked them.

He Yuzhu had a premonition that if he didn't get rid of this thing, they would face new danger tomorrow.

Boom boom boom.... Boom boom boom...

"Who!"

Xu Changping, who was sitting in the study studying, heard a knock on the door and walked out.

"Brother Xu, it's me. I have something to talk to you about."

He Yuzhu put down his hand that was knocking on the door and answered.

When Xu Changping heard He Yuzhu's voice, he was very confused. These two people were still not sleeping even after the poison was cured. He didn't know what they were doing in the middle of the night.

Pulling the door open from the inside, Xu Changping looked at He Yuzhu with a puzzled look on his face, and said puzzledly:

"Brother He, is there anything else going on so late?"

"Brother Xu, I came here to give you something. Can we go inside and talk?"

"Brother He, please come in quickly."

Xu Changping didn't know what He Yuzhu was going to do, so he had to welcome him into the house.

"This is?"

Xu Changping closed the door and turned around to see the ebony block he had put together on the coffee table.

"Brother Xu, to be honest, there is a piece of animal skin inside this thing."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he took out the animal skin that he had previously stored in the system space from his shirt pocket and placed it on the coffee table.

Xu Changping looked at He Yuzhu in astonishment, wanting to know what on earth he was trying to accomplish by saying this.
