Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Fight Fire with Fire: She Wakes Up in the Blood Coffin (4)

Cao Shiyu’s scant drowsiness was swept away as she opened her mouth to loudly scream.

What place was this? Why was she here?

She reached out, trying to push something away, but found her hand smeared with something sticky. Not knowing what it was, she brought it to her nose and smelled it, feeling like it was the fishy scent of blood.

This time, Cao Shiyu was even more terrified and shouted for help at the top of her lungs.

The place where she was locked was not only small but was also tightly sealed. She simply couldn’t push it open nor could she get out of this cramped space…

The servants, not seeing Cao Shiyu come downstairs by eleven in the morning, found it very odd. Although Cao Shiyu usually didn’t wake up early, she had never been this late to appear.

Especially since Miss Cao Shiyu had a notoriously bad temper, no one in Qingmu Garden dared to provoke Cao Shiyu.

Not to mention the servants found it odd that Cao Shiyu hadn’t appeared; even Du Qingyu noticed something was amiss, “Hasn’t Shiyu gotten up yet?”

Normally, one could hear Cao Shiyu nagging about the children not being obedient early in the morning, yet today it was strangely quiet, not at all like Cao Shiyu’s character.

“Exactly, where is Miss Cao? Sleeping until high noon, acting as if she’s some precious lady,” Xia Yu remarked with sarcasm, never hiding her dislike for Cao Shiyu.

Relying on the fact that she had borne a son for Ye Qilan, she really treated the Ye Family as her own home.

Ye Ling also fanned the flames, “It’s all because Grandpa spoils her too much. If this continues, all of us in the Ye Family will have to walk on eggshells around her. So what if she gave birth to a son? It’s not such a big deal; she’s not the only woman in the world capable of having children.”

Grandfather Ye shot a glare at Ye Ling, who snorted reluctantly and closed her mouth unwillingly.

“Go upstairs and see what’s going on,” the elder Ye commanded the servants.

The servants understood and went upstairs, knocking on the door to Cao Shiyu’s bedroom. The door was slightly ajar, seemingly with no response from Cao Shiyu.

Hesitating for a moment, the servants pushed open the door, only to see inside the room that the baby was alone, lying in the crib, contentedly sucking on its fingers, very cute and adorable.

But Cao Shiyu was nowhere to be seen.

The servant picked up the baby, turned around to leave, but then saw a line of words written on the back of the door, “Cao Shiyu is in the storage room.”

The servant was baffled, having no idea why Cao Shiyu would run off to the storage room. Even less clear was who would play such a prank, and what kind of game they were playing now.

Holding the child, the servant went downstairs to report back to the elder Ye.

The elder Ye didn’t think much of it and immediately ordered people to search the storage room for Cao Shiyu.

Before long, everyone heard the servants’ screams from afar, getting closer.

The elder Ye’s heart tightened, knowing something had happened, otherwise, the servant wouldn’t emit such a terrible scream. He handed the child to Mu Ge, “You take care of the child; I’ll go see what happened.”

It wasn’t just the elder Ye who was worried; the other members of the Ye Family present were also concerned about what might have transpired.

As the crowd moved out of the living room, they saw a servant stumbling towards them, stuttering, “Master, something terrible has happened, there’s so much blood, blood everywhere…”

Ye Ling, being timid, heard ‘blood everywhere’ and immediately decided not to join the excitement, thinking Cao Shiyu must have been killed in the storage room. She hid behind Xia Yu, “Mom, let’s not go, okay?”

If Cao Shiyu really had been killed in the storage room, wouldn’t they be tainted by the aura of a dead person by going there now?

“Speak clearly, what blood?” the elder Ye asked gravely.

“There’s so much blood over there, and, and a blood-soaked coffin, I think I heard someone crying for help…”
