When Du Tao came out of the secret passage, he was sure that Duke Lang and Prince Min would not be able to walk out. The secret passage was too complicated. Without water and food, those three would perish in the secret passage sooner or later.
In his plans, Du Tao would enter the secret passage and drag the corpses out. He would fake the fact that Duke Lang and Prince Min had conspired to kill Tang Pei. That way, he could perfectly remove himself from this matter.
He had calculated everything, but he had not expected an accident at this time. The courtyard door kept shaking. It looked like if he didn't open it, it would be broken.
Du Tao suppressed his anger and spoke in a low voice.
"Open the door!"
He wanted to see who was so bold to come looking for trouble!
The courtyard door was pulled open.
Du Tao strode out and said to Shen Xu.
"I don't have your concubine here. You're in the wrong place."
Shen Xu did not believe him.
