Minghui and Nanping had dinner, disguised themselves and changed into night clothes, and waited in the house.

The summer days were long, and they were waiting for it to get completely dark.

When the lanterns are held, the lively street market during the day is not quiet because of the night, and the shops are hung with lanterns, and the city of Qinzhou, which is far away from the capital, has its own prosperity.

Minghui sighed, although the curfew in Baoding Mansion is not strictly controlled, there are also patrols in the city, in addition to pharmacies, pawnshops, longevity shops, and only restaurants and Hualou casinos, which dare to light up after the curfew.

But in Qinzhou City, even if there are not many customers, each shop will light a lamp, and if you are reluctant to use lamp oil, you will light a small lamp, and let people know that his shop is not closed, and you can still come in to buy things.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, that's what it means.

Taking advantage of the night, Minghui and Nanping came out of the window and quietly came to the Qinzhou Yamen.

When Minghui arrived here, she found that the back door of the yamen and Sister-in-law Tang's shop were only separated by an alley and a wall!

If you open a door on the wall, you can walk directly into Sister-in-law Tang's back kitchen when you walk out of the back office.

At noon, Minghui only knew that all the streets of the official school were only separated from the yamen by one street, but she didn't expect that Sister-in-law Tang's shop was only separated from the back ya.

Lean it against the wall, and you might even hear the voices inside.

However, at this time, Minghui didn't have time to think about it, let alone eavesdropping, to see that there was no one around, she and Nanping climbed onto the wall of the back office one after the other. qs

It is said that Lord Huang's wife is here, and the old lady and her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law are all at odds, and they are noisy all day long, which makes Huang Tongzhi anxious, and he doesn't want to be laughed at by his colleagues.

It may be that there are a lot of things to be cleaned up, in the small courtyard where Lord Huang's family lives, the lights are bright at this time, and there will be quarrels from time to time, and the contrast is obvious, there is another slightly larger courtyard, the yard is quiet, if it weren't for the light in the window, and the shadow in front of the window, Minghui would even think that there was no one living in this courtyard.

The family is quiet? Don't have cats, don't have dogs, have few people, and children don't cry?

Minghui carefully recalled her previous life, she lived in the Wei family, and she also lived in the back office at that time, was the Wei family like this at that time?

She couldn't remember, or, she was so distracted that she hadn't paid attention to what was going on around her.

The Wei family is a scholar and lives in the back office, so it is not difficult to guess which house Lord Wei and Wei Qian live in.

Minghui glanced at Nan Ping and signaled the soldiers to divide into two ways, Nan Ping didn't want to, she didn't worry about Minghui acting alone, but Minghui had already left first, and she plunged into the night with a flash.

Nan Ping sighed, the Wei family is deserted also has the advantage of being deserted, there are not a few lights, and there are not a few people, which is convenient for night pedestrians.

Nanping turned around and approached another place where the lights were on.

Minghui went to Wei Qian and Xiao Li's bedroom first.

The people in the house obviously haven't slept yet, the window is half-raised, hanging with bamboo curtains, and the faint yellow light shines through the bamboo curtains, sprinkled in the flower bed in front of the window, where a few bushes of purple jasmine are planted, purple and red, and the fragrance is overflowing.

Minghui bent down and hid under the window, listening intently, there was a woman's suppressed sobbing sound in the room, the voice was very low, and it was impossible to judge the age.

Then, she heard another woman's voice, half blaming and half distressed: "You, you are already a mother, and you still can't think about it, he is still very good to your mother and daughter."

This voice was a little old, the speed of speech was very slow, and it carried a bit of majesty, and Minghui thought of Lord Wei's wife, Li.

Since this is the Li family, then the one who cried quietly is her daughter-in-law Xiao Li.

Xiao Li finally stopped crying, but there was still crying in his voice, and he could hear that he was trying his best to endure it: "He went again today, he stayed inside for half an hour before he came out, the students in the official school have all gone back, he is still outside, I can't compare to that woman, that woman is older than him, and she has been married and had children, but that's it."

It's just a village woman."

Minghui was stupid, what did she hear?

The secret is out?

No, this matter was obviously not a secret before, the Li family knew, and the little Li family also knew, everyone was just maintaining a superficial peace and joy.

"Look at your point!" Li's voice raised a few points, but it wasn't really high, if it weren't for Minghui's good ear, she wouldn't be able to hear it clearly, even so, the displeasure in her tone could still be heard, "He just had a meal, and he didn't live there, let alone take them into the mansion, how many times did you make trouble for this?" The old man complained a lot, and I have embarrassed you with my old face!"

There was a rustling sound made by the friction of the fabric, and it was thought that Xiao Li knelt down for Li.

"Auntie, I know that with you, the mother and daughter will not enter the door, but my heart is just not steady, after all, the eldest sister is not a son, in case that woman gives birth to a son to him, then in his eyes, there will be no mother and daughter for us."

Li snorted coldly: "Talking about some bastard things all day long, not to mention such a market village woman, it is a yellow flower girl, he doesn't dare to bring it into the door, let alone give birth to a son, but it's you, the eldest sister doesn't need you to bring it, you take care of your body, take advantage of your youth, and add a few younger siblings to the eldest sister, this is what you should do, as for that woman, you can't compare, and you can't compare, and now that it's under our noses, he won't do anything."

Xiao Li whimpered again: "The rest of my niece's life is tied to my aunt, and my aunt must be the master of her niece."

"If you've always been like this, don't blame me for giving him a few concubines." Li said coldly.

Xiao Li was startled, and there was a sound of the cup breaking in the room, thinking that she was in a panic and accidentally knocked over the cup.

Then, there was another sound of rustling, and the sound of the door opening came, and Li went to the outer room and called the maid from the outside room to come into the house to clean up.

Seeing that the Li clan was about to come out, Minghui was worried about being seen, so she took the first step to hide in the shadow of a tree.

Li snorted and returned to the hall, the maid rushed to the front and pushed the door open, Li said angrily: "The master is still in the study, go and call him back, what time is it, he is not sleeping yet!"

Then, the maid trotted to the study, and then, Minghui saw that the light in the study went out, and Lord Wei walked out of the study, followed by the tall and thin figure he saw during the day, obviously, before that, both father and son were in the study.
