299 SHE HID HIM HERE!? edited (1/2)

This afternoon, as usual she made an excuse saying she wanted to take a nap and didn't want people near her. Thus, out went Aunt Hu, Yoona and Yu Yan and in came the last stack of the letters.

From what Senja had read so far, she could gather information about the person Senja had hid.

His name was Gong Xu and it seemed this Gong Xu guy was the one who had saved her when Carye had tried to sell Senja off in the black market five years ago.

Senja knew about this from Elder Dam. If it wasn't for Senja's father that took Carye's side at that time, that woman and her daughters would have seen the last of their days in the Black Sword Clan Mansion by now.

All the while a few questions kept nagging at Senja: Where had she hid the man? If it wasn't inside her room, then where?

Then there was Senja's father. Even though Senja was his own daughter, his infatuation towards Carye had apparently turned him blind. Xiao Tianyao had cautioned her about him as well. All in all, Senja's father wasn't the right person to take refuge with. Her grandfather was the only one that she could rely on.

Senja couldn't imagine how Elder Dam's granddaughter had lived in this atrocious environment, add to it the fact that Elder Dam was away from home because he was still active in the military then. No wonder, the former Senja had disappeared. Senja had a gut feeling that the girl must have run away.

**Who could live with people as vicious as them? If I were Senja, I would have run away as well! ** Senja was pouting in annoyance as she read the last four papers. ”How shortsighted of Elder Dam to leave his granddaughter with them? Couldn't he see that they would bury his dearest granddaughter alive?!” Senja mumbled about her grandfather's lapse of insight.

It had been a while of reading now and Senja stretched. By now, she had pretty much gotten the big picture through the other Senja's perspective when she glanced at the letters that she had yet to read scattered on the floor.

On one of the sheets, she saw something that answered her question.

(They think I like reading, so they don't object if I spend the whole day inside the library.)
