Along the way, the Shangshu Mansion was decorated with carved railings, paintings and buildings, as well as flowers and trees, all showing its splendor and luxury. However, when we reached the Jinyuan Garden, the scene took a sudden turn, and we saw a depressed and dilapidated scene.

After passing through the overgrown courtyard and pushing open the wooden door covered with cobwebs, a strong smell of smoke and dust hit my face, mixed with the scent of wood and mildew, which was a bit choking.

Yunran took out a silk scarf and covered his mouth and nose, and patrolled the room where the mechanism might be. After about an hour of burning incense, he finally found the entrance to the secret room behind a mural.

The light in the secret room was very dim, so Yun Ran took out a luminous pearl to illuminate it.

After seeing the whole secret room clearly, Yun Ran couldn't help but sigh, it was more like a study than a secret room.

Several rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged, and each floor is filled with books. There is a pair of rosewood tables and chairs beside it, and a pot of long-dried flowers on the table.

Yun Ran shuttled among the bookshelves, randomly picked up the books on them and flipped through them. The books covered a wide range of topics. Collection of classics and history, Qi Men Dun Jia, astronomy and geography, astrology and hexagrams, military strategies, landscape travel notes, medical skills and alchemy, as well as some celebrity biographies and Yuefu poems.

These books have been dusty for many years, and the pages have turned yellow.

Among the many volumes, Yunran found a book with a blank cover. After opening it, he found that it was a handwritten note with beautiful handwriting, and Lin Qianqiu's name appeared frequently on it.

Yunran read a few pages carefully and found that they were actually notes recording a series of events such as Bai Ruoxi and Lin Qianqiu's meeting, acquaintance, and love.

Yun Ran decisively put the notebook into his pocket.

Later, some scrolls were found in the secret compartment of the cabinet, all of which were portraits, including a young Lin Qianqiu, a self-portrait of Bai Ruoxi, and some characters Yunran didn't recognize.

Yunran picked out some of Lin Qianqiu's paintings and threw them away, then took out the sky silk sack he carried with him and packed all the remaining scrolls into the sack.

In addition, Yunran also put an ordinary-looking simple wooden hairpin into his sleeve.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Lin Qianqiu strode into the secret room, "Lin Wanyue, you don't know how to go and greet your grandmother first? What kind of behavior can you do without rules..."

The unfinished words turned into an exclamation. Lin Qianqiu stepped on something, slipped, and sat down on the ground.

Lin Qianqiu was embarrassed and angry, and angrily looked at the thing that tripped him. Unexpectedly, he saw a portrait of himself when he was young. His expression paused slightly, and his eyes were a little complicated for a moment.

Yunran glanced at him coolly, "I've done so many evil things that I can't bear to see them anymore. Why don't I throw you to death?"

Lin Qianqiu's face, which was originally red from embarrassment because of the slip, quickly turned green. He glared at Yun Ran and cursed: "You rebellious girl! You are evil! Did you throw these paintings on the ground?"

Yunran glanced lazily at the paintings in his hand, "That's right, I shouldn't have thrown them on the ground, I should have burned them directly."

"you!"

Lin Qianqiu was so angry at her that she almost vomited blood. His face turned blue and white, as if there was a puff of smoke floating on his head.

Thinking of the purpose of his trip, he tried to suppress the anger swirling in his heart and patiently showed a fatherly attitude.

"Ahem! How have you been recently? Has King Qin bullied you?"

Yunran looked at him as if he was mentally retarded, "What? Did you get your brain pinched by a door just now? Or was you kicked by a donkey while walking? How about I give you a pig brain?"

Lin Qianqiu: "..."

This rebellious girl! What an injustice! Is she just here to defeat him?

"Rebellious girl! Is this the way you should talk to your father?"

Yunran glanced at Lin Qianqiu, who was blowing his beard and staring, and smiled coldly. His cool voice was a little careless, "You'd better not talk to me about your attitude. Otherwise, I can't help but want to give you away." Go down and see your father."

Lin Qianqiu: "?!!"

What did she say to that rebellious girl? !

Is she threatening him? !

Does she still want to kill her father? !

This treacherous and evil obstacle! How could he be born with such an evil deed!

Lin Qianqiu's nose was almost crooked with anger. He took several deep breaths to calm down the overwhelming anger in his heart.

"You are my daughter after all. Even though you are ignorant, I, as a father, cannot ignore you."

"When you got married, I originally prepared a medical hospital as a dowry for you. However, due to the negligence of the housekeeper, this hospital was omitted from the dowry gift list. I just thought that I would provide it to you now."

"Although you have married into the prince's palace, time has changed and people have changed. The King of Qin is no longer the King of Qin back then. The glory of the past is no longer the same. Your life must be very difficult, right?"

"As a father, I can't bear to see you suffer. In addition to the medical clinic, I also built a rouge shop for you."

After Lin Qianqiu finished speaking, he looked at Yunran with a slightly raised chin, as if to say: Are you touched? Are you grateful? Why don't you quickly thank your father for your gift?
