Chapter 175 Secret passage, escape
When Yuan Bohan heard Yuan Xiao's words, his expression changed immediately, and he said, "Why didn't you see me?"

"Last night, the old lady was carried back to the house. When she woke up in the middle of the night, she turned away the serving maid and refused to let anyone in. There was nothing unusual when she was serving in the morning, but the old lady didn't leave the house today, and she didn't even have breakfast. It was settled in the back room, and no maidservant was allowed to serve, and when the maidservant entered at noon, she found that there was no one in the room, and the maidservant outside also said that she had never seen the old lady go out before!"

Yuan Xiao was anxious and ashamed at the same time. There are so many of them, but they can't look down on De Ling. It's really embarrassing!
Yuan Bohan heard Yuan Xiao's words, his face was extremely gloomy, he stood up, and said coldly: "Yuan Yin, please go down, strengthen the guard inside and outside Yuanmen!"

"Yes!" Vowel replied respectfully, her face was also very ugly. In De Ling's yard, not only was there someone watching her on the bright side, but also guards in the dark. And in such a cage-like yard, De Ling unexpectedly It disappeared into her room like air. Could it be that she really grew wings and flew away?
Yuan Bohan followed Yuan Xiao to De Ling's courtyard. He left angrily last night. He thought that he would not step into this courtyard in this life except after De Ling's death. Unexpectedly, only one day later, he came again. To this yard, and the reason is that his mother disappeared today!
"The head of the house!" The servant girl next to De Ling searched De Ling's yard upside down, especially De Ling's dormitory, and finally found the problem.

"There is a secret passage under the old lady's bed, and the old lady should have left through this secret passage!" A maid said respectfully.

"Secret passage?" Yuan Bohan heard her words, his face was covered with dark clouds, and he said in a cold voice: "When you usually clean up the house, don't you find this secret passage?"

Yuan Bohan's questioning immediately made the maids present feel ashamed, but they didn't check it seriously, so such a big mistake happened.

"It's the servant girl's fault!" Yuan Xiao said with his face turned blue and white, lowering his head and blaming himself.

"Huh!" Yuan Bohan snorted coldly, and walked towards Deling's dormitory. When he saw a dark and dark passage under the bed and didn't know where it led, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Well, he really underestimated his mother. He thought that she would be safe and sound if she was locked in the yard, but he didn't expect to have such a hand!
It seems that this secret passage has been dug for many years, and his mother has always left behind!He didn't escape when he was under house arrest, how did he escape now?

"Master, the slave has already sent someone down to look at it." The maid who reported just now said.

Yuan Bohan nodded, and stood by the bed with his hands behind his back, staring at the secret passage with deep eyes, and remained silent, while the maid in the room stood aside respectfully, feeling the bursts of cold air emanating from Yuan Bohan's body, They all gritted their teeth, not daring to say a word, and the atmosphere in the room became oppressive and heavy.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a faint light in the dark passage. After a while, a maid came out with a candle in her hand. Seeing Yuan Bohan beside the bed, she hurried out and panted slightly: " The head of the family, this secret passage leads to a private house not far from the Waiyuan gate, and the servants did not find the old lady."

When Yuan Bohan heard this, he clenched his hands into fists subconsciously, leading to a private house outside Yuanmen?This courtyard is located in the middle of the Yuan Gate. The Yuan Gate is so big that it would not take a day or two to dig a passage from here to the outside of the Yuan Gate!good very good!
Yuan Bohan walked into the secret passage with a gloomy face, Yuan Xiao saw Yuan Bohan's actions, and immediately stopped him: "Master, this is dangerous!"

"Dangerous?" Yuan Bohan smiled sarcastically, "I want to see what the danger is!" After speaking, he jumped down the tunnel.

Yuan Xiao was helpless, looking at the maid who came out of the secret passage just now, and the maid said in a low voice: "Sister Yuan Xiao, don't worry, I checked just now, there is no danger in the secret passage, and the private house is also guarded, there will be no danger." dangerous!"

Yuan Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her words.

It took almost half an hour to walk through this secret passage before coming out. If it was an ordinary person, it would probably take more than an hour to walk. There are no special houses.

This place has already been guarded by Yuanmen's guards. The head of the guards saw Yuan Bohan coming out of the secret passage, and immediately came to Yuan Bohan's face quickly, and said respectfully: "The master!"

"What did you find?" Yuan Bohan asked in a cold tone, with a vile aura that made people's hearts tremble.

"Back at home, the younger ones searched the yard, but found no trace of the old lady, but from the signs that the house was cleaned, it can be seen that this room is often inhabited, and the younger ones have already asked the nearby people, saying that this private house There is an old couple who have lived here for more than 20 years. The two couples are usually loyal and get along well with the neighbors. However, the old couple loves to grow flowers and plants, and often transports a lot of soil from the house, which makes many people think strangeness."

"Love to grow flowers and plants?" Yuan Bohan sneered when he heard this sentence, his mother also loves to grow flowers and plants!This hobby has lasted for more than 20 years!

"Destroy this place! At the same time, send more people to find my mother!" Yuan Bohan ordered coldly.

"Yes, master!" The guard responded after hearing Yuan Bohan's order, and after Yuan Bohan left, he sent someone to destroy this secret passage that was extremely threatening to Yuanmen.

When Yuan Bohan returned to the yard, it was already two hours later, Huo Zhirou looked at the dinner in front of him, and sighed softly.

"Miss, you can have dinner first, don't wait until Yuan Dang comes back to see Miss, you will definitely blame the servants for not having dinner!" Chun Xiao looked at Huo Zhirou sitting at the table with her chin propped up, looking at the meal in front of her and sighed Lian Lian's appearance made a sound to persuade him.

Hearing Chun Xiao's words, Huo Zhirou frowned and asked, "Chun Xiao, where do you think Bo Han is going? He's not recovering from his illness, and it's late at night, so there's no sign of him yet?"

Hearing Huo Zhirou's question, Chunxiao replied dryly, "Miss, even you don't know where the head of Yuan's family has gone, so how could the slaves know? Miss, Yuan's family is no better than Huo's family. Yuan Dang's family is usually very busy, and now he must be busy with something that has delayed his return."

Huo Zhirou nodded when she heard what Chunxiao said, and said, "That's true!"

"Miss, do you want to have dinner!" Chun Xiao said again.

Huo Zhirou nodded and was picking up her chopsticks to eat. When she heard footsteps outside the house, she immediately turned her head to look. When she saw Yuan Bohan returning, she stood up and said with a pleasant smile on her face. :"You're back?"

Huo Zhirou's excited appearance made Yuan Bohan's heart flutter. The smile on Huo Zhirou's face was like the spring sunshine warming his chill. He held Huo Zhirou's hand, looked down at the untouched meal on the table, and asked softly, "Why haven't you eaten dinner yet?"

"Isn't this waiting for you to come back to eat together?" Huo Zhirou said coquettishly.

When Yuan Bohan heard Huo Zhirou's words, the smile on the corner of his mouth grew stronger. At this time, Huo Zhirou was like a husband who was a woman waiting to go home, which made Yuan Bohan more and more looking forward to their big marriage.

"In the future, if I come back late, don't wait for me. If you want to eat, you won't starve to death. I will take good care of you when you come back!" Although Yuan Bohan was happy in his heart, he did not allow Huo Zhirou to spoil his body like this.

When Huo Zhirou heard Yuan Bohan's words, her mouth pouted, and seeing Yuan Bohan staring at her with warning eyes, she didn't dare to resist, so she pulled Yuan Bohan to sit down, and said to him: "Eat first! "

"En!" Yuan Bohan nodded, although he didn't have any appetite at the moment, he couldn't make Huo Zhirou worry.

After dinner, Huo Zhirou asked, "Bohan, what happened?"

Huo Zhirou is not stupid, when Yuan Bohan came back just now, she felt that Yuan Bohan was not in a good mood.

Yuan Bohan heard Huo Zhirou's question, hugged Huo Zhirou on his lap and sat down, resting his chin on Huo Zhirou's shoulder, said in a faint voice: "She's gone!"

"Her? Who?" Huo Zhirou frowned when he heard Yuan Bohan's words.

"My mother! I didn't expect that there was a secret passage under her bed leading to the Yuanmen, and she left the Yuanmen through this secret passage. I really underestimated her!" Yuan Bohan said with sarcasm, De Ling's escape really cut off their mother-child relationship!
When Yuan Bohan came back just now, he was called by the elders. After knowing this, the elders were very angry, and said that De Ling had seriously violated the rules of Yuanmen when he dug the secret passage. The old lady of the door!
At that time, Yuan Bohan's heart was already cold, and he didn't say anything anymore. This mother hid too many secrets. I don't know what will happen to the mother and son when they meet again one day in the future?Yuan Bohan didn't even dare to think about it.

Huo Zhirou gasped when she heard Yuan Bohan's words, "Your mother left quietly? Why?"

Huo Zhirou didn't understand, even if the mother-child relationship between De Ling and Yuan Bohan had been worn down, but De Ling was Yuan Bohan's biological mother after all, and she was also the old lady of Yuanmen. Have you severed her relationship with Yuanmen?Is it true that you don't even want this son anymore?

Yuan Bohan heard Huo Zhirou's puzzled words, smiled coldly, and said, "Why? She doesn't want to be the old lady of Yuanmen anymore, she can still be her eldest princess! This status is also extremely noble!"

When Huo Zhirou heard Yuan Bohan's words, her eyes shrank. She almost forgot the identity of Princess De Ling. Thinking of the recent court making things difficult for Yuanmen, she nervously grabbed Yuan Bohan's hand and asked in a low voice. Said: "Did your mother intervene in the court's actions against Yuanmen recently?"

Yuan Bohan didn't expect that Huo Zhirou would think of this, his deep eyes looked straight into Huo Zhirou's eyes, and asked seriously: "Rou'er, do you really want to know?"

"Nonsense!" Huo Zhirou rolled his eyes at Yuan Bohan, "Do you still think I'm an outsider?"

Yuan Bohan smiled lightly, how could he treat Huo Zhirou as an outsider?If it was an outsider, he wouldn't have taken her to the secret door of Yuanmen to meet Si Rongxue, touched her head, and said to her, "Forget it, since you want to know, I'll tell you, yes, She did intervene!"

When Huo Zhirou heard this, he took a deep breath, De Ling, why is she like this?
