There was only one oil lamp that was lit in the huge cell. Ye Mo used the dim light to observe the stone wall in front of him. However, he couldn’t figure out how he could open it.
He muttered to himself in his heart, Could it be it needs to be opened from the outside?
Thinking about this made Ye Mo feel irritated again. He opened his mouth and cursed loudly to show his anger!
He was helpless and had no choice but to lean against the wall. There was a small crack behind the stone wall. Perhaps he could rush out when the stone wall was opened?
Time passed second by second, minute by minute. Ye Mo kept standing and he gradually started getting tired. However, he forced himself to focus and fought against the tiredness…
Usually, slaves who were to be sold by their masters would be kept in the firewood room.
Shuixin was put in the firewood room after she finished receiving her punishment. However, the servant didn’t lock the door.
Shuixin sat on the floor and hugged her bent knees with both her hands. She looked at the full moon outside the window and was lost in thought.
The servant who had executed the punishment took it easy on her but the areas around the corners of her mouth were still bruised.
A long time passed before Shuixin stood up to massage her slightly numb legs. She lightly pushed open the firewood room’s door and went towards the cell.
The extremely tired Ye Mo suddenly heard the trembling sounds behind the wall.
He immediately pulled himself together, held the prison quilt wrapped around him tightly with both hands, and exposed his knees so that it would be easier to rush out…
At the same time, Ye Mo’s heart started to beat faster and he felt extremely nervous. If he couldn’t get out, then he could forget about trying to escape in the future.
Actually, even if he could rush out of this cell, he still wouldn’t be able to get out of the residence! It was just that he wasn’t willing to think about this.
Just as Ye Mo felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, the stone wall opened.
In a split second, Ye Mo broke into a run and rushed out…
However, he hadn’t even taken two steps when he heard an upset voice sound out. “Tsk…”
Shuixin was still in a sea of darkness as she still hadn’t lit any lights. Some light came through when the stone wall was opened slightly. Before she could see clearly, a person came rushing out.
The two of them bumped straight into each other.
After Shuixin saw clearly who had bumped into her, she felt very surprised that Ye Mo had actually taken off the binds.
She disregarded the accident as it was more important to do the right thing right now.
She saw that Ye Mo looked as though he was about to knock her out, and she quickly and quietly said, “I am here to let you go. You should calm down.”
Otherwise, even if he knocked her out, he still wouldn’t be able to escape the building. Shuixin understood this fact much more clearly than Ye Mo.
Ye Mo heard what she said and frowned, feeling slightly doubtful.
However, he saw that she didn’t scream even though she saw that he had taken off the binds. He suppressed the volume of his voice and asked, “Why do you want to let me go?”
“Don’t ask so many questions for now. Here are some clothes, quickly put them on.” Shuixin handed a long gown to Ye Mo.
In response, Ye Mo took it without any hesitation. At the same time, both of them turned around and faced each other back to back.
She waited until he put on the long gown. Shuixin then walked down a familiar path as she carefully led Ye Mo towards the door in the backyard…
After they exited the residence and walked a long distance, the sky started to turn bright.
Ye Mo wanted to thank Shuixin properly at this time. However, when he looked sideways at the girl who was not too far from him, he became dumbfounded.
This girl… Wasn’t she Wang Xiangyun’s servant girl?
Ye Mo had seen her once during Ming Yan’s wedding.
Ye Mo then stopped walking, suppressed his anger, and asked with a frown, “Why did your lady kidnap me? And you, why did you let me go? What are you guys trying to do? Tell me!”
