Chapter 319 It's time to take action
The mysterious man slowly walked towards the light, and Ming Nanjin could see clearly that this man was the housekeeper who had taken care of his mother Bei Ming Nanling in the Bei Ming family.
"Who are you?" Ming Nanjin looked at the person in front of him cautiously and asked puzzledly.
The old butler nodded slightly, his face full of the vicissitudes of life. He slowly said: "Child, I know you have been looking for the truth of the past."
Ming Nanjin looked confused and asked, "Who are you?"
The old housekeeper sighed and said, "Child, I was the housekeeper who took care of your mother, Bei Ming Nan Ling."
Ming Nanjin suddenly realized what was going on and asked anxiously, "Grandpa Butler, please tell me quickly, what happened back then?"
The old butler took a deep breath, and his eyes seemed to travel through time and return to the past.
"Back then, your mother, Bei Ming Nanling, was the apple of the Bei Ming family's eye and was the apple of everyone's eye. But she fell in love with Ming Desong, your father. Your mother insisted on eloping with your father, despite the Bei Ming family's objections. At that time, the entire Bei Ming family was turned upside down." The old butler's voice trembled a little, as if he was still frightened by the memory of that past event.
"What happened next?" Ming Nanjin asked.
"After they eloped, there was no news of your mother. The Bei Ming family also sent people to look for her everywhere, but they found nothing." The old butler sighed and continued, "Later, Bei Ming Mo began to become arrogant and bloodthirsty in the entire family. He dismissed all the old butlers and servants. This castle was the oldest house of the Bei Ming family at that time, and it is also the place I have been holding on to. I always feel that one day, I will be able to wait for someone to solve the mystery of that year."
Ming Nanjin clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with anger: "Bei Mingmo, that bastard!"
The old housekeeper patted Ming Nanjin's shoulder gently and said, "Child, don't be impulsive. What happened back then was far more complicated than you think."
"How complicated is it?" Ming Nanjin asked.
The old housekeeper was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts: "Bei Ming Mo's change is not without reason. After your mother left, the family fell into chaos, and various forces fought openly and secretly for power and interests. Bei Ming Mo gradually lost himself in such an environment. He believed that only by mastering absolute power could he control everything. As for your mother's affairs, he has always been brooding over it and believed that it was a shame for the family, so he was full of hostility towards everyone related to your mother."
Ming Nanjin frowned: "My mother had already left, so why was Bei Mingmo unwilling to let her go?"
The old butler shook his head: "I don't know that either. But I think they must have lived an anonymous life in order to avoid being hunted down by the Bei Ming family."
Yan Zeyu couldn't help but interrupt: "Is it possible that there are any clues left?"
The old housekeeper thought for a while and said, "Maybe we can find some clues in the room where your mother used to live. But that room is in the main house of the Bei Ming family, and it has been sealed off by Bei Ming Mo."
Ming Nanjin's eyes were firm: "No matter what, I'm going to give it a try."
The old housekeeper said worriedly, "Child, that's too dangerous. Bei Mingmo is now extremely sensitive to anything related to your mother. If he finds out about you, the consequences will be disastrous."
Ming Nanjin gritted his teeth and said, "In order to find the truth, I am not afraid of anything."
Jiang Shiwen also said: "We will accompany you and find a solution together."
The old butler looked at their determined expressions and nodded: "Okay, since you have decided, I will do my best to help you. But you must be careful."
So, with the help of the old housekeeper, Ming Nanjin and his friends began to plan how to sneak into the main house of the Bei Ming family and find the room where their mother once lived.
After several days of preparation, they finally found a suitable opportunity. While Bei Ming Mo was out discussing business and the guards at home were relatively lax, Ming Nanjin and his team quietly sneaked into Bei Ming's home.
Along the way, they avoided the patrolling guards and carefully approached their mother's room.
Finally, they arrived at the door of the room. Ming Nanjin gently pushed the door open, and a stale smell came to her face.
The layout of the room remains the same as it was back then, as if time has stopped here.
Ming Nanjin searched for clues everywhere and found a yellowed diary in the drawer.
He opened the diary, which was written in his mother's familiar handwriting, recording every detail of her relationship with his father, as well as her aspirations and fears for the future.
Just as Ming Nanjin was immersed in his mother's words, footsteps were suddenly heard outside.
"Oh no, someone is coming!" Yan Zeyu said in a low voice.
They hurriedly hid in the closet, not daring to make a sound.
Two servants came in, chatting while they cleaned the room.
"I heard that the master's temper has been getting worse recently. I wonder what he is worried about."
"It's all because of that missing woman. The head of the family couldn't let it go and thought she was still alive."
Ming Nanjin and the others were terrified as they listened in the closet.
They finally breathed a sigh of relief after the servants left.
Ming Nanjin put the diary away and continued to look for other clues in the room.
Under the bed, he found a locked box.
"What could this be?" Jiang Shiwen asked.
Ming Nanjin shook her head: "I don't know, but it feels very important."
Just as they were about to find a way to open the box, there was a noise outside.
"Oh no, maybe Bei Ming Mo is back!"
There was a hint of cleverness in Ming Nanjin's eyes. It was time to take action.
