A flash of time, Daisy had been under house arrest for half a month.
She had figured out Sister Fen's daily routine and wanted to get the key to that room during Sister Fen's nap.
Sister Fen's lifestyle and habits were very disciplined and regular.
She ate meals on time every day, went to bed before eleven at night, and had a habit of napping after lunch.
Daisy found an opportunity. When a maternity hospital came to examine her that morning, she deliberately refused to cooperate.
While Sister Fen was telling her off, she quietly stole the key from Sister Fen's pocket.
She thought Sister Fen wouldn't realize the key was missing before she woke up from her nap.
After getting the key, she cooperated with the obstetrician for the examination. The fetus was all normal.
Looking at the fetus, which was slightly larger than a sprout, she felt the joy of being a mother for the first time.
She no longer hesitated or struggled with whether to keep the child.
Although she was confined here now, she was free to move around the house. Sister Fen took very good care of her diet and daily life, and she actually looked better, with color in her face.
After lunch, she estimated that Sister Fen was already napping. She walked out of her room, saying she wanted to take a walk after the meal.
The two maids following her were also sleepy at the door, looking like they wanted to doze off.
Daisy said to them, "You two go take a nap too. I'll walk by myself. I can't leave this house anyway, so you don't need to follow me all the time. If you keep following me, I'll tell Sister Fen that you two are clumsy at everything and have her fire you all."
"Miss Daisy!"
"Don't follow me, do you hear me!" Daisy's attitude was firm.
The two maids looked at each other aggrievedly and had no choice but to stop following her. However, they still stood at the door of her room, not daring to go back to the maids' quarters to rest.
Daisy first pretended to stroll from the second floor to the first floor, then walked a few steps in the garden behind the house, and returned to her room. She went up to the second floor, confirmed no one was watching her, and quickly used the key to open the room where the landline phone was kept.
The two maids were at her door. They couldn't see her anywhere on the first or second floor and thought she had gone to the garden.
One maid yawned, covering her mouth, and said, "It's really unnecessary for us to follow her around all day in this house. Actually, she can just call us if she needs anything. She's annoyed, and we're tired too. What is Sister Fen thinking?"
"Shh, keep your voice down," said another maid. "Who told her she's carrying the young master's child? Sister Fen has to be cautious."
"Alas, you mean the young master is really gone?" The yawning maid became sad and said, "The young master is so handsome and charming, and he's also very gentle. The last time he stayed here, I accidentally spilled a cup of water on him, and he didn't blame me at all. Instead, he comforted me."
"Who can say otherwise? Heaven has no eyes," said another maid. "I'm hoping the young master will come to live here again for some time. Even if I don't have a chance to talk to him, just seeing him every day makes my little heart race."
The yawning maid covered her chest and said, "I feel the same way."
Daisy entered the locked room and found nothing special. The furnishings were ordinary.
Instead of being decorated luxuriously like the outside and other rooms, the furniture and furnishings could be described as simple or rustic.
There was a bed, a cabinet, and a desk. The chairs were also old-fashioned, but not antiques.
Daisy looked and touched the material of the furniture. It should have been there for quite some years.
In this room, it felt like time had gone back twenty or thirty years. She didn't think much of it, only that rich people nowadays liked to be nostalgic in their mansions.
She saw the landline phone that connected to the outside world was on the desk, and it was connected to the wiring port inside the wall, which could directly make calls to the outside.
Daisy quickly picked up the handset and found that she could indeed make calls directly. However, when it was time to dial, she hesitated. Who should she ask for help?
If she called the police directly, the police might find that Wu Xiufang would still find a way to handle it.
What about calling Susu? But she felt that even if Susu wanted to help her, she couldn't fight against Huangfu's family, and it might make the problem worse.
Daisy felt that the only person who could help her was Qin Tianyi. She dialed Tianyi's mobile number.
...
At this time, Tianyi was in a meeting at the group. A department head was giving a report.
His expression was serious, and he was listening attentively. At this moment, the mobile phone placed beside him vibrated. He intended to hang up directly, but he saw it was a landline number, and it was somewhat familiar.
As he was wondering, he remembered that this was the landline number Susu had given him.
He immediately picked up his phone and walked out of the conference room, wondering if it was Daisy.
As soon as Tianyi answered, he heard Daisy's voice.
"Mr. Qin, can you help me?"
"Speak," Tianyi asked. "Where are you now? Susu has been worried about you."
"I know. I'm not in any danger now, but I've lost my freedom. Huangfu Shaohua's mother has confined me to a villa. I don't know the exact location. What should I do now?"
When Tianyi heard this, her current situation was similar to what he had guessed.
"Don't worry too much for now. Wu Xiufang is focused on the child in your belly, so she should be taking good care of you."
"Mm-hmm, that's right," Daisy said. "But I don't want to be without freedom like this. What does she think of me?"
"Okay, I know about this. You haven't had any news, and suddenly you contacted your mother to report that you are safe. I know there's a problem, and I'm already investigating. Please endure it a little longer. I will definitely find a good way to help you."
Daisy felt that she had found the right person and said, "Mr. Qin, thank you. I don't have time to talk to you further, I have to hang up."
"Okay, take care of yourself."
Daisy put down the handset, still feeling very nervous.
To calm herself down, she sat down and unconsciously pulled open the drawer on the left side of the desk. She found a red booklet inside.
She picked it up and looked at the cover page. It was originally a bright red, but the cover had faded due to being kept for a long time.
Daisy casually flipped through it, and a few yellowed old photos fell out.
As she put the old photos back, she saw a page that read, "After my mother left, my grandmother's health deteriorated day by day. My grandmother said she would entrust me to a distant relative and asked me to obey them well in the future and be their daughter..."
Daisy saw that the handwriting was delicate, but it looked like a child's writing.
She wondered curiously if this was Wu Xiufang's childhood diary.
Daisy looked at the time. She didn't have time to read the text in the booklet carefully, so she simply put the booklet in her pocket and quickly left the room.
She pretended to be leisurely and slowly strolled back to her room. The two maids saw her return, and one of them quickly asked, "Miss Daisy, where did you go? Why did you suddenly appear on the second floor? I didn't see you come upstairs."
