The door opened easily. Perhaps it was because no one would come here under such circumstances that the host let down his guard.
The interior and exterior of the house formed a stark contrast.
The outside of the house was magnificent, but the inside was dark.
Ning Yue took out a flashlight to illuminate the room. At this moment, she realized that there was another door behind the door. She opened the door and saw the locked woman the secret guard had mentioned.
That person was especially excited to see the light and screamed loudly.
Her scream made the three of them feel their ears sting.
âPlease calm down. We didnât mean to hurt you.â As Ning Yue spoke, she shone the light down. If the strong light from this flashlight shone directly on oneâs eyes, it would cause harm.
After Ning Yue finished speaking, the person shouted even louder.
âYueyue, if it really doesnât work out, letâs knock her out,â Gu Yu said.
After he finished speaking, the person miraculously fell silent.
Seeing this, Ning Yue placed the flashlight high up so that she could see her surroundings clearly.
She saw a disheveled old woman. The old womanâs eyes were fixed on the flashlight.
She sat on the ground, her hands dangling from the chains. Her head was raised high.
When she saw the old womanâs face, Ning Yueâs heart suddenly ached.
She clutched her chest. She couldnât tell what it was like. Just as she opened her mouth to ask, tears fell uncontrollably.
âThisâ¦â Gu Yu was also very surprised. He didnât expect to see this person here.
âWho is she?â Ning Yue asked.
Actually, when she saw this face, Ning Yue already knew who this person was. However, shouldnât this person be far away in the capital? Why was he here?
âSheâs General Ningâs mother, Matriarch Ning,â Jiang Ying said.
âNo, no! That old woman is enjoying a wonderful life in the capital. How can she appear here to suffer?â
How could this person be Ning Fengâs mother?
Jiang Ying looked at Ning Yue with a complicated expression. If he hadnât gotten someone to investigate the matter between the Generalâs Residence and Ning Yue two days ago, he would probably have been shocked by the scene before him.
No, no, no. He was already shocked.
Everyone knew that the old generalâs wife had passed away. Why would she appear here?
âNing Yue, this person is indeed your grandmother, the current matriarch of the generalâs residence. You should call her Great-aunt.â
Jiang Ying told Ning Yue about the past of the generalâs residence in detail.
Ning Yueâs eyes widened.
The piece of cloth her grandfather had taken out yesterday said that her biological mother was Liu Yun. At first, Ning Yue thought that her grandfather had made a mistake, or that there was some misunderstanding. Now that she heard Jiang Yingâs explanation, she seemed to understand something.
âGrandmotherâ¦â Ning Yue called out.
When An Ning heard this call, she looked at Ning Yue with empty eyes.
âGrandma, Iâm sorry. Yueyue was late. Iâll bring you out now.â
Ning Yue took the backpack from Jiang Yingâs back and took out a master key. She stepped forward and unlocked An Ning.
Gu Yu watched all of this in shock. When had his disciple become a locksmith?
An Ning, who had been very excited when she saw the lights, suddenly fell silent after Ning Yue unlocked the locks. She looked at Ning Yue in a daze.
Ning Yue hugged An Ning. She could sense that An Ning was not used to this hug. Her entire body was stiff.
She examined An Ningâs body and found that other than some malnutrition and a strained ligament in her arm, there was nothing wrong with her body. Ning Yue heaved a sigh of relief.
âAre you Yunâerâs child?â An Ningâs words were intermittent.
Ning Yue took out a water bag from her backpack and carefully fed An Ning.
âGrandmother, youâve suffered,â Ning Yue said.
As An Ning had been sitting here for a long time, her legs had weakened a little. She couldnât even stand properly, let alone walk.
