General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

Chapter 996: Discovering a Secret, A God-given Opportunity (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios      Editor: Atlas Studios

The Saintess returned to the Cheng family the next day.

Cheng Qingxue was still secretly recuperating in the Holy Mountain and had not been brought back.

Cheng Lian missed her youngest daughter, but when she heard that her youngest daughter had yet to recover from the poison and had to soak in the medicinal spring every day to recuperate, she could only endure it.

The Saintess was here to get the medicinal wine.

Cheng Lian told her about Cheng Sang.

“Cheng Sang is pretending. She hasn’t recovered at all. I heard it with my own ears. She still addresses the girl as Weiwei. That girl has also admitted it! Hmph, how dare she fool the Cheng family like this! I want to see what the elders will say this time!”

Although Cheng Lian wanted to reclaim power, it was not urgent now.

Moreover, it was meaningless for them to claim that Cheng Sang was pretending now.

In the past, Xie Yunhe was on their side. Now that that girl had confirmed that she was Xie Yunhe’s biological granddaughter, Xie Yunhe would not let her be chased out.

It was fine if she really wanted to shake that girl’s position as the young master, but it would require the Saintess to spend some effort.

The Saintess was not in the mood to deal with her for the time being.

She wanted to capture Wei Xu.

“Did you hear me?”

Seeing that her daughter had no reaction, Cheng Lian couldn’t help but feel a little suffocated. “When you weren’t at home, your father had a grudge against me. I was alone, and that girl even threatened me that if I dare to publicize this matter, she would expose me for framing Cheng Sang. What a joke. Cheng Sang walked to the abandoned mine herself. She has arms and legs. She was curious but I was blamed for luring her away. She even said that there was a man living in the mine!”

“What man?” the Saintess asked.

Cheng Lian didn’t mind. “That mine has been abandoned for many years. It’s

haunted and dark. How can anyone live there?”

In Cheng Lian’s opinion, a lunatic’s brain was abnormal, and what she said was not trustworthy.

Perhaps Cheng Sang had bumped into a ghost, but she mistakenly thought that she had bumped into someone.

Thinking of this, Cheng Lian felt her blood run cold.

The Saintess secretly remembered this.

When she went to get the medicinal wine, she bumped into Xie Yunhe. She asked about the abandoned mine, “Dad, do you know why that mine was abandoned?”

Xie Yunhe said, “The mine was not dug properly and was not stable. Too many accidents happened, and many mining slaves died. We couldn’t dig anything out, so we sealed it. Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

The Saintess said, “I’m just asking. Why did I hear that it’s haunted?”

Xie Yunhe sighed. “Too many mine slaves died. There are indeed many vengeful souls.”

It seemed that her father did not know either.

It would be fine if Cheng Sang was talking nonsense.

What if it was not nonsense? Who was living there? What secrets were hidden?

The Saintess should not be distracted by other things, but for some reason, she had an intuition that this matter was not simple.

She decided to take a look.

Since she was doing an investigation, she naturally could not go openly.

The mine door that Wei Xu had kicked down had long been repaired, and the defense was tighter than usual.

However, to an expert like the Saintess, these defenses were almost useless.

She easily infiltrated the mine.

She had only come to the mine a few times, let alone wander around.

It was Cheng Lian who drew her a map.

She followed the map to the entrance of the abandoned mine.

However, Cheng Lian had never entered the mine and did not know the way inside.

The Saintess entered from the entrance and walked through several forks, reaching the end of each.

Finally, an hour later, she discovered something strange.

She heard the sound of running water and saw the arrows and hidden weapons scattered on the ground. Most of them were rusty, and it was obvious that there had been a mechanism here.

Soon, she touched a hollow wall.

There was indeed another universe here.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t find the entrance.

Suddenly, footsteps and conversation came from 30 feet away.

She quickly turned into another passageway.

The people who came were two mine guards. One of them was carrying a food box.

She quietly followed the two of them and saw that they had arrived at the end of the passageway just now. The guard who did not carry the food box took out a strange key from his waist and pressed it into a groove on the wall. With a rumble, the stone door hidden in the mud wall opened.

The two of them entered the secret room.

Not long after, the two of them came out with empty food boxes.

The Saintess followed the two of them and shot off the key with a silver needle.

The key fell into the soft soil. There was no sound.

The Saintess waited until the two of them had completely left the mine and were sure that they could not hear the rumbling of the stone door before getting up and going to tne secret room.

The food was placed on the stone table untouched..

The man had long rested and was lying on the cold bed, breathing evenly..
