Shen Yaowei perked up. She looked around to make sure no one was looking at them and asked, “Where did you hear this name?”

Gang Ye raised his finger and pointed at Baili Hui, who was in the cage. “General Baili once loved someone and died of illness. His lover back then was called Shanshan.”

Shen Yaowei didn’t expect that to be the reason. She looked at Baili Hui with a complicated gaze. “To mistake his own sister for his former lover… Could Baili Se look so much like Shanshan?”

“There’s a portrait of the person you love in General Baili’s room. You’ll know as long as you take a look.” As Cang Ye spoke, he turned around and walked out of the dungeon.

Shen Yaowei thought for a moment and quickly followed Cang Ye.

After leaving the dungeon, Shen Yaowei and Cang Ye went straight to Baili Hui’s residence.

However, when they arrived at Baili Hui’s room, they realized that it was empty.

There were portrait marks on the walls of the room, but the portrait had disappeared. No one knew where it had gone.

Helpless, the two of them could only find a cleaning nanny to ask about the whereabouts of the portraits.

The nanny in rough hemp clothes was over 40 years old. When she heard that the two of them were curious about those portraits, she said frankly, “The General treasured the portrait of Madam Shanshan the most when he was alive. Because the General doesn’t have many portraits of Madam Shanshan, he has always cleaned the portraits himself. We can’t even enter the General’s room casually. Later, after the General passed away, Miss Se said that she wanted to put away all the portraits that the General valued, so she took down all the portraits.”

When Shen Yaowei heard this, she frowned. “Nanny, after so many years in the residence, you should have seen Madam Shanshan in the portrait, right?”

“I’ve indeed seen her a few times. Madam Shanshan is a great beauty. She’s devastatingly beautiful. Speaking of which, Miss Se actually looks very much like Madam Shanshan. When Miss Se was adopted, we even secretly agreed. Perhaps the general agreed to adopt her because Miss Se looks like Madam Shanshan.” Seeing that Shen Yaowei and the other woman were really interested in the portrait, the nanny reminded them kindly, “Actually, if you want the portrait, you can go to the study to look for it. If nothing goes wrong, Miss Se should have placed the portrait there.”

Shen Yaowei thanked the nanny and went straight to the study with Cang Ye.

After the two of them arrived at the study, they began to split up and search.

However, they searched until the sun set. Their stomachs were rumbling and their mouths were dry, but they still didn’t find anything.

She quickly asked the servants in the residence to prepare desserts and tea. Shen Yaowei sat on the left side of the soft couch in the study and took a sip of tea.

There was a small yellow rosewood table between Cang Ye and Shen Yaowei. He sat on the soft right side and picked up the dessert to take a bite. As if he felt that it was too sweet, he raised his head and drank a cup of tea to suppress it.

“Bill Se really knows how to hide. We’re about to turn the study upside down, but we still haven’t found anything.” The more Shen Yaowei spoke, the more indignant she became. She looked at Cang Ye tentatively and asked, “Do you think there’s a secret passage or a secret room here?”

Cang Ye put down the remaining half of the pastry and added some tea to his and Shen Yaowei’s cups. “You can try to find it. Perhaps you can make a new discovery.”

He had just mentioned it casually, but he didn’t expect Shen Yaowei to really jump off the couch and go straight to the desk.

Shen Yaowei touched the four legs of the table, but she didn’t trigger any mechanisms.

“It’s impossible for you to find it like this.” Cang Ye stood up helplessly and reminded Shen Yaowei..
