Chapter 740 The decision was made
Ning Peilan pretended to be embarrassed and frowned.

"Do you know where the private documents of your father-in-law and your husband are hidden?"

"I... don't know..." Tong Mingli shook her head with a bitter face.

"Hey, then you talk so lively."

"I really don't know where the secret documents of their father and son are hidden, but there are other breakthroughs."

"What breakthrough? Your mother-in-law?"

"My mother-in-law keeps most of my father-in-law's private documents. My husband's, she definitely won't touch her. But before I marry in, think about it, who will take care of my daily life?"

"Oh, Lanzhu!" Ning Peilan was ecstatic. She never mentioned Lanzhu, but Tong Mingli took the initiative to mention it. It's wonderful, "Do you know where all the secret documents in her hand are hidden?"

"do not know."

"Hey?!"

"Lanzhu has been serving my husband for many years. I can't get involved in the secret shared between them, but no matter how favored she is, she is still a servant. She didn't even earn her aunt, so she has a chance."

"what chance?"

"Liang Dashi's mansion is an old house, and the population is small, there is no manpower to maintain the house. Many good houses in the past are now abandoned there. Except for the main house where the masters live, the houses where the servants live are not rich at all. Lan Zhu is very respectable in front of my husband. She occupies a room all by herself, but how big can that room be? Actually, it’s not that big, it’s just a room in the wing room, not even a suite. She has important secrets in her hands. Where can things be hidden? Are they hidden outside the house? Are they not afraid of being chewed by mice?"

"I understand what you mean. Lanzhu, as the housekeeper, must have several account books in her hands. At the same time, she is your husband's most trusted confidant now. Maybe she really keeps something important. Liang Zhongshan used to If you are unmarried, those important things can still be placed in his room, but now that he is married, and he wants to maintain a good image in front of your wife, those terrible things must be moved, and the safest and safest place is naturally Lanzhu's. In the room." Ning Peilan was about to applaud, but she immediately calmed down again, "Mingli, do you know what your idea means?"

"I know." Tong Mingli nodded firmly, "I'm going to sneak into Lanzhu's room to look for those things."

"Is there a chance?"

"It might have been difficult to say before, but these days are good opportunities." Tong Mingli smiled slightly, "Aren't you guys in a lawsuit? Don't my husband and the others try to erase the traces of behind-the-scenes instigation? Liang Zhongshan is deeply favored. I can't come forward to do it, it's all up to Lanzhu, now that this lawsuit is over, Lanzhu will definitely be busy for a few days, this is our best chance, if I miss this time, I really don't know how long it will be next time."

"But you young mistress sneaked into the servant's room, it's easy to be seen."

"Don't be afraid, Liang's mansion has a small population and there are not many servants. The mother-in-law is very strict. She is not allowed to desert when she should be on errands. The small courtyard where Lanzhu lives is relatively close to my main house. It was originally for the convenience of serving, but Now that my husband and wife are separated, she doesn't come into the main room very often, but she still has to come back to sleep after she has served my husband at night. I know when there will be no one in her small courtyard, and I will sneak over at that time. "

"Have you thought about it? This is the time when the risk is the greatest!"

"I know there are risks, but no one else can do it but me, and I will definitely find out."

"Look for it, you don't want to take it away right away, or if Lanzhu finds something missing, she will definitely find it on your head after searching around. Liang Zhongshan personally forced you to ask, can you still hold on?"

"Then what should I do?! I really didn't think about it!"

"No matter what you find, don't mess it up. Remember everything you see in your mind, and restore everything you have touched. Just leave quietly, write to me, and we can discuss it."

"That's... that's fine! Yes, you can't be so hasty to scare the snake away, otherwise I will be exposed. Once they change the place where the documents are hidden, I really can't find them."

"That's the reason, you must be patient and don't be impulsive."

"Okay, I'll take it down."

"Then... that's the decision?"

"It's decided like this. If there is anything you need to pay attention to, just say it, just don't persuade me that it is too risky, otherwise I will be hit by you a few times, and I am afraid that I will lose my temper."

"I won't say anything about being discouraged. I just ask you to be careful, the good days are yet to come, and you must not fall into the hands of their family so early."

"Don't worry, you won't be caught."

Tong Mingli squeezed Ning Peilan's hand and shook it vigorously.

"It's getting late, the girls must have packed up, and it's time for me to go back, just in time to see their family jumping."

"Don't gloat too much, be careful not to be caught by them and make you suffer."

"How can I be so stupid! Don't worry! I'm going back, and I'll come out to chat next time."

Tong Mingli stood up as she spoke, and opened the door by herself without letting Ning Peilan see her off.

Bai Kou had been waiting outside the door, and when she saw Tong Mingli coming out, she immediately led her to the nearby ear room, where hot water for washing her face and some simple cosmetics had been prepared, and Tong Mingli quickly finished her makeup. The carriage from the Wangfu also drove over, the hatchback just connected, picked up the young mistress and left.

After seeing off the guests, Bai Kou went back to that room to meet Ning Peilan.

Ning Peilan waited for Bai Kou to come in to listen to the letter, and recounted the content of the previous chat with Tong Mingli in a selective way.

Bai Kou was also happy to hear that Tong Mingli offered to go to Cha Lanzhu.

"I hope she can pay attention to safety, don't rush to scare the snake, and don't say anything when she finds out, just leave quietly."

"Well, I've told you all these words, and it depends on whether she can really hold her breath."

"I didn't expect her to take the initiative to mention Lanzhu, but you still use words to guide you well. You can't speak directly as a witness, which inspired her to do some indirect things secretly, which is much more useful than directly asking her for help."

"It's because she has a good brain, so she immediately thought of Lanzhu. Anyway, she doesn't plan to live with Liang Zhongshan anymore. They make her uncomfortable. She also wants to vent her anger. She won't be able to have children in a few years. Just reconcile, when she was still young, she could still marry well."

"Yes, that's right."

Bai Kou smiled slightly, keeping a secret, and did not tell Ning Peilan that Liang Zhongshan was about to die.

Since Princess Cheng doesn't know about this, don't tell her. I didn't tell her at the beginning, and now it's too late to let her know. Let her and Tong Mingli figure out how to get away with Li in a few years.

However, the problem of heirs after Liang Zhongshan fell ill is what we really need to guard against. If heirs are raised before his death, Tong Mingli will not be able to remarry. Remarriage, remarriage is prevalent among the middle and lower class people, and the imperial court also encourages it. Have more children. Population is tax.

But if you want Tong Mingli to get away, you can't let the Liang family get a child out.

Ning Peilan's girl came in at this time to report that the packing was done, and Ning Peilan was exhausted after a day out by herself, so she went back first in a sedan chair, and Bai Kou stayed behind to do the final cleanup, supervising the four girls to clean up the place thoroughly.

When Bai Kou returned to the mansion, Gu Yun had already arrived home. When he left the mansion school, the news hadn't reached the ears of his classmates, and it would be lively tomorrow.

Bai Kou also told Shi Zi about Tong Mingli's reaction when she learned about this, especially when she offered to search Lan Zhu's room, which also surprised Gu Yun.

"She actually proposed it? It seems that she really doesn't want to endure the Liang family."

"I hope she moves smoothly. Although she said that Lanzhu's room is very close to the main room where she lives, after all, it was the young mistress who sneaked into the servant's room. If someone finds out, her situation will be ugly."

"Tong Mingli shouldn't act impulsively, besides, she knows the benefits and risks, so she must be cautious."

"I hope, these few days are the best chance. They want to erase the traces of Yang Siyuan looking for someone to cause trouble for you, so as to avoid being exposed in the court. It's all up to Lanzhu to run errands for him, it's easy when she's not at home."

"So, in order to cooperate with her actions, I have to delay this lawsuit for a longer time?"

"Not only will it take a few more days, as long as the villagers show signs of being ordered by someone in the courtroom, you must firmly seize the opportunity and clamor to find those despicable people, although you may not be able to find additional ones. There is conclusive evidence, but at least it can make them feel restless."

"And Yang Mi, have you heard any new gossip about Erfang recently?"

"Not yet, I will pay close attention."

"Well, let's wait and see."

Gu Yun scratched his face and glanced at Bai Kou, who got up decisively and left.

"It's almost time to set the meal. I'll go to the small kitchen to see if they're ready."

Gu Yun could only pouted to watch Bai Kou go out.

Tong Mingli had already returned home when they were having dinner in the Zhongming Courtyard. Liang Zhongshan actually came back earlier than her, and ordered the kitchen to prepare good wine and food, just waiting to make love with Tong Mingli, and Lanzhu served beside her.

Halfway through the food and drink, Liang Zhongshan mentioned the matter of Gu Yun's complaint, Tong Mingli just had an expression of just remembering it, and said that after the sisters' party was over, she heard about it from Ning Peilan during the time between tidying up.

"Princess Cheng told you? I thought you would hear something from Bai Kou. After all, she is the first-hand news."

"That's not true. Except for welcoming guests, Bai Kou didn't show up in front of us the rest of the time. It was all served by the four girls in the tea room. Princess Cheng and I took care of seeing off guests after the show, and then the girls Go and pack our belongings, she and I went to drink tea in another room, at this moment her servant sent a note, saying that Gu Yun has sued the villagers and wants to file a lawsuit with them."

Tong Mingli left Bai Kou completely, Liang Zhongshan didn't suspect anything, after all Bai Kou was serving Gu Yun, how could he gossip in front of other female relatives.
