The tears rolled down from Jiang Yuyan’s eyes and as it dropped on Lu Feng’s hand. Adjusting the quilt on him, she wiped her tears and stood up to leave the room. San Zemin and the butler were standing outside.
"Don’t tell him I was here and don’t let him know whatever happened today. You were the one to bring him here." Instructing, Jiang Yuyan left the apartment. Her driver, who was standing outside of the apartment along with the Butler’s two men, followed her.
When Jiang Yuyan reached home, it was still dark, and the sun was about to rise soon. The butler of the mansion, Xu Dui, was present outside of the mansion the moment Jiang Yuyan arrived. He bowed to her and the next moment one servant with the huge bowl in his hands came to her.
"Hands!" the butler said, signaling at the bowl.
Jiang Yuyan understood and cleaned her hands with the water in the bowl while the butler gave her a white napkin to wipe her hands. Jiang Yuyan didn’t know what was going on, but she understood butler was aware of where she was and why she was out till late.
"Follow me!" Saying, the butler turned and Jiang Yuyan followed him.
Butler took her at the backside of the mansion and they stopped at one door. Pressing the number on the security lock, he asked Jiang Yuyan to follow him inside. Behind the door, there was a huge room which was neat, clean and arranged just like the other rooms in the mansion.
Jiang Yuyan thought about why the butler brought her here, and just then he spoke. I have arranged everything for the third young mistress here. It won’t be good if the young mistress goes to the fourth young master like this."
Jiang Yuyan observed herself in the huge mirror of the dressing table. She was in a messed up condition. Her clothes were messy with the stains of blood and dust on it. Her face looked tired, and her hair loose and messy.
Jiang Yuyan understood what the butler said was right. She shouldn’t go to Lu Lijun like this or he may think where she was to come back in such a condition.
As Jiang Yuyan nodded, the butler informed, "The third junior master used this room before, now it’s yours."
Jiang Yuyan got to know one more thing about Lu Qiang, but at the same time, she thought if the butler knew about Lu Qiang’s other side too and the answer was clear- yes.
She remembered Lu Qiang’s words when he once told her that the butler Xu Dui had information about everything in the mansion and the family. He was like a storage box of all the secrets, and now Jiang Yuyan finally believed it.
"I would like to show the young mistress something but before that, it would be better to change into fresh clothes. I will wait outside," the butler suggested.
Once Jiang Yuyan was ready, she informed the butler who was waiting outside of the room. The butler went to the one door in the room and Jiang Yuyan followed him. The door opened in front of the staircase.
"This staircase will lead the young mistress to the second floor." Saying it, the butler stepped to climb the stairs and Jiang Yuyan followed him. The place was brightened up with the lights."
Both reached the end of the staircase which ended at one small floor which ended up to the wooden wall which had two security locks at either side. The butler pressed the numbers on the security lock and the one single door size part of the wall turned at a nineteen-degree angle to make space and the butler led her way inside.
To Jiang Yuyan’s surprise, she entered inside Lu Qiang and her bedroom on the second floor.
"What was the other lock on the wall? Where does it open?" Jiang Yuyan asked.
"That opened in Young mistresses’ previous room." Jiang Yuyan felt her mind heavy with the realization of so many things and not a word could come out from her throat.
"The password on every security lock is young mistress’s birthday. If there is something young mistress needed the help with, this servant is always there." Informing the butler went back through the way they came.
Jiang Yuyan realized, when she started living in this room after the wedding, there were few times when Lu Qiang suddenly appeared in the room which surprised her but she never thought about it thinking it must be her illusion and she never asked him.
Jiang Yuyan looked at the bookshelf, behind which there was a secret passage. Something clicked in her mind and she went to the bookshelf. She saw, inside the bookshelf, there was a hidden tiny lock and pressed the numbers of her birthdate.
When she went back into the secret passage, she went towards another lock on the wooden wall and the moment she pressed the numbers, the door in the wall shifted back. She entered inside and as the butler said; it opened in the room where she used to stay before the wedding.
Jiang Yuyan remembered her first day in the Lu Mansion when she locked the door and went for the bath, but when she came back, Lu Qiang was already in the room that surprised her. Now she realized how he came inside her room.
The information on these secret things and how her memories with Lu Qiang connected to it was making her feel like crying. She felt her head hurting with so many things going on in her mind and she couldn’t get what exactly to think about.
