ng Qi couldn’t be sure, so he moved a little forward.
He soon realized that the people outside were no longer trying to open the door, and the noise stopped.
ng Qi hesitated, unsure whether he should open the door.
At that mont, soone on the other side of the secret chamber spoke, "There’s really soone outside, it’s a young lady."
Young lady?? ng Han hurried towards the person. This person was looking outside through a hole in the wall. The hole was very small, about the width of two fingers, located at the top of the secret chamber.
There were more such holes, at least a dozen in the secret chamber. Originally, this whole chamber was directly under the woodshed, but it is slightly larger than the woodshed.
A small door was opened from the furthest corner of the woodshed, leading to the entrance of the secret passage. Going down the passage leads to this secret chamber.
However, the woodshed is positioned quite high, so part of the chamber extends to ground level.
The chamber initially didn’t have these small holes; after all, it’s for storing things, not for residing in. This ti when ng Pei returned, he slightly modified the chamber by digging over a dozen holes in the part at ground level.
This way, when hiding inside, one wouldn’t suffocate from lack of airflow if staying for a long ti.
The holes can ensure air circulation and also allow observation of the outside through them.
From the mont they heard noise from the entrance of the passage, the other escorts in the chamber were already looking outside through various holes.
When ng Han approached, the escort imdiately stepped aside, allowing her to see outside.
ng Han stood on a stool, squinting her eyes to search around. The next mont, her eyes suddenly lit up, she jumped down excitedly from the stool, and ran towards ng Qi, "It’s Ying Xi, the young lady standing outside is Ying Xi."
Ying Xi???
Facing ng Qi’s puzzled expression, ng Han’s tears couldn’t be held back, they fell uncontrollably as she grabbed ng Qi’s hand and said, "Ying Xi is Sister Yu’s maid, if she’s here, Sister Yu must be here too and if Sister Yu is here, my cousin must have co as well. No wonder they know the location of the entrance; Eldest Uncle must have told them."
ng Qi was dumbfounded, he had just been thinking about ng Yunzheng, and now, now he turned around, and he was here?
ng Han couldn’t wait to rush to the entrance of the passage and said to Uncle Gao, "Quick, quickly open the door."
Uncle Gao also heard what ng Han said, although he wasn’t familiar with ng Yunzheng, the latter had visited the escort agency several tis.
Moreover, Uncle ng highly praised his nephew, often citing his great achievents. As a result, ng Scholar’s deeds were well-known among the escorts in the agency.
Upon hearing that the person outside was him, Uncle Gao hesitated for a mont, then unlocked and pushed the door open.
Outside, they were just pondering how to inform the people inside of their identity when they heard the sound of the passage door opening.
ng Yunzheng and Shu Yu both turned their heads to look, and saw ng Han climbing out from the passage first, looking at them with surprise and delight.
"Sister Yu, it’s really you!!"
She burst into tears, rushed to Shu Yu in a few steps, and hugged her tightly.
Shu Yu was almost knocked over, fortunately, ng Yunzheng supported her from behind.
She sighed helplessly, how after all this ti, does this young girl still express excitent in such a fierce way?
She reached out and patted her back, "Alright, alright, we’re here, stop crying."
