In the chief manor.
Gu Shi narrowed his eyes and scanned the girl standing in front of him.
"You want to go to the back hill?"
Feng Ruqing slightly nodded. "Yes."
At that moment, Gu Shi was so scared that his heart was about to stop beating. But he pretended to be indifferent.
Did Feng Ruqing know that a woman was imprisoned by him in the back hill? Did Feng Ruqing come to expose his secret?
What to do
If his secret was exposed, his reputation that he had built his whole life would completely be damaged.
"Ahem." Gu Shi cleared his throat. He was embarrassed. "Lady Xiao Qing, there is really nothing in the back hill behind my manor. I am not lying to you. There is really nothing there."
The more he explained, the more he felt guilty.
Gu Yiyi was suspicious. "Father, are you really hiding a woman in the back hill? Otherwise, why is the back hill a forbidden area? I havent been there in the past few years. Are you really hiding a woman there?"
She really had not been to the back hill. Furthermore, she did not have much interest in the back hill. But now that Feng Ruqing had mentioned it, she, too, wanted to follow along.
Too bad that her father was petty and did not allow anyone to enter the back hill.
Was he really hiding a woman?
If Gu Shi did not know that Gu Yiyi was just making random guesses, he might have thought that she had found out his secret.
His heart trembled after hearing what she had said.
"Yiyi, you know that this is a rule that has been passed down from the former manor masters. How could I not follow the rule when I am the manor master of Tian Shen Manor?"
Gu Yiyi did not really care about it. "You are not the kind of person that would follow the rules. When you first served as the manor master, you took out the grave of the former manor master. I dont believe that you would follow Tian Shen Manors rules."
It was ridiculous. Her father was not someone who would obey the rules.
