C122 Basement
"Butler, do you know what's the point of this basement?" Soong Shiyan asked curiously as she stood in front of the basement door and looked at the butler beside her.1
"That year, after the Young Master witnessed the death of the Madam, he left behind a very serious shadow in his heart. Shortly after the funeral, we lost sight of him. All the servants searched the Huo Family for an entire two days before they found out that he was hiding in the basement with the door locked, not allowing anyone to go in, and was unwilling to come out. Every day, when it was time to eat, the servants would bring the food to the door. The young master did not eat it either. Helpless, the old tutor could only ask the doctor to give him nourishing water after the young master fell asleep. Young Master has lived like this for three months, without any sunlight or people. " The butler sighed as he reminisced.
Soong Shiyan's heart ached when she heard this. It was as if something had blocked her chest, preventing her from breathing smoothly. He clearly knew that his father had sent someone to kill his mother, but he didn't dare to say a single word at such a young age. He could only keep this matter to the bottom of his heart. He was alone. Not only did he live in this darkness, he also lived in endless self-blame and fear. At that time, the lentinus edodes must have been despairing ah!
"Butler, you can go first. I'll go in alone." Soong Shiyan said to the butler.
The butler knew that Soong Shiyan's mood was heavy, so he nodded and left, leaving Soong Shiyan standing alone on the spot.
Soong Shiyan stood in front of the basement door and let out a deep breath. Then, she resolutely opened the door and walked in.
The basement was filled with the smell of time. Soong Shiyan touched the wall and turned on the lights. Under the orange light, she carefully looked at the small basement.
There was a small bed, and beside it was a small cabinet. There were countless sealed cartons in the corner, and the floor was covered with thick carpets filled with dust. Although there were many things piled up in the basement, it still looked empty. Soong Shiyan walked up to the cabinet, stretched out her hand and touched the dust. The cabinet was tightly locked, and the lock was already full of rust. Soong Shiyan took out the key that Huo Mingshen left for her and slightly trembled as she opened the cabinet.
Inside the cabinet was a pile of neatly stacked photos. Soong Shiyan held the photos in her hands and looked them over carefully. The little boy in the photo was a young mushroom. He was white and tender, with red lips and white teeth. His eyes were like stars, shining brightly. He snuggled close to the woman's bosom, the smile on his face innocent and innocent. And the woman in the photo was the mother of the mushroom — Lin Wan. As her name implied, her smile was tranquil and graceful, and her entire body emitted a sense of elegance and gentleness. As for the man in the suit in the photo, his face had already been cut off. Without a second thought, Soong Shiyan knew that the man whose face had been cut off was Liu Mo's nominal father, Huo Chenglieh.
Soong Shiyan's fingers rubbed the photo, and a thin thread of heat rose in her eyes. The mushrooms of that time were carefree and carefree, and they lived happily ever after. Even if Huo Chenglieh was putting on an act, a mushroom that did not know the truth would definitely think that he was the happiest person in the world. Not only did he have such an illustrious family background, he also had a pair of perfect parents. However, after experiencing such a tragic accident, he had lost his mother, and after seeing his father's true appearance, he was helpless and in pain. He no longer trusted anyone. Thus, he gradually sealed his heart, not allowing anyone to approach him.
