Gao Wen carefully checked the corridor. Her gut feeling told her Ye Xin might be at home. When she recalled Liang Zhou and the master’s words, she felt that Ye Xin’s life here should be very terrible.

Due to the party, most of the helpers were helping out in the garden so there were not many people in the house.

After observing for a moment, Gao Wen boldly inspected the room one by one.

The Mu family house was very big, and there were many rooms.

Gao Wen began to sweat. Not only did she have to check so many rooms, but she had to be on guard against the servants as well. After a while, she had yet to encounter a room that she could not enter. Even what seemed like Mu Chen’s study was unlocked. Hence, when she finally encountered a room with a locked door, she felt it was strange.

Based on the room’s location, it could be a guest room or a storage room. Apart from it being locked, there was nothing strange about that room.

Gao Wen was still deciding on what to do when the sound of knocking rang from the other side of the door, accompanied by a voice.

“Open the door! Let me out!”

Gao Wen’s heart almost leaped out of her chest at this moment. She knocked on the door softly and asked in a hushed voice, “Xinxin, is that you? Xinxin?”

The knocking stopped immediately.

Realization dawned on Gao Wen. She looked at the door anxiously, wondering how to unlock the door. Her daughter was locked up in the room! She looked around anxiously before she saw an open storage room where the helpers kept miscellaneous items.

Based on the layout of her own storage room, she actually found a set of keys. She gripped the keys tightly as she poked her head out of the room to check that the coast was clear. Then, she quietly walked back to the small room and tried to unlock the door with one key after another with trembling hands.

Click!

Gao Wen paused as joy almost drowned her. She gently twisted the knob and pushed the door open.

Ye Xin, who was in the room, looked as though she had seen a ghost. She asked frostily, “Why are you here?”

Gao Wen hastily closed the door behind her and leaned against it before she said in a low and hurried voice, “Xinxin, let’s leave with Mommy. Mommy will bring you home. Let’s leave this place.”

Ye Xin retreated to the desk behind her, panicking. “No, no, leave! Leave now! I’m not Ye Xin; I’m Song Ning! You’re not my mother! Leave now! Otherwise, I’m going to call for help!”

Gao Wen’s eyes were brimming with tears. “Xinxin, why? Why are you pretending to be Song Ning? Do you know how dangerous this is? No one in the Mu family is easy to deal with. How long do you think you can keep this a secret? Why did they lock you up? How can they lock you up? Xinxin, listen to Mommy. Let’s leave!”

As Gao Wen spoke, she walked toward Ye Xin.

Ye Xin stretched her hand out to stop Gao Wen from approaching. “Stop right there! Don’t come over!”

Gao Wen stopped in her tracks and looked at her daughter. “I know you’re Xinxin. I used a strand of your hair and did a DNA test with it. Mommy knows you’re suffering here. Let’s…”

Ye Xin interjected vehemently, “You’re wrong! I’m not suffering. I’m Song Ning, the Young Madam of the Mu family! My husband, Mu Chen, loves me very much, and Grandma loves me very much! You’re mistaken! I’m not Ye Xin! Get out! Leave!”

Gao Wen pointed at the door and asked, “Then why did they lock you up?”
