delicious little cook

Chapter 741
"So, even Princess Cheng doesn't know about the lawsuit?"

"It is said that King Cheng didn't let her know that she was pregnant. She was already weak and easily tired. When she was a little energetic, she had to take care of housework and the general affairs of the Pomegranate Club. King Cheng didn't want her to worry about it. How can I tell my wife about everything outside, the princess knows that her husband is considerate, so if the prince doesn't tell her, she won't ask."

"So that's the case, but it's also true. When you are outside, you will only talk to your family. You always report good news and not bad news."

What Tong Mingli said was reasonable, Liang Zhongshan had no choice but to believe it.

Seeing that she had fooled her husband, Tong Mingli was temporarily relieved, and the couple spent the night lovingly.

The next day, Yingtian Mansion, who had received the will, sent officials to Hedong Village to summon all the defendants to the court. They had to walk for a long time on the road, and there would definitely be a night of trouble when they arrived at the place. In order to make everything go smoothly, Yingtian Mansion sent most of the officials to Run this leg.

After Tong Mingli assisted her mother-in-law with the housework, she went to her own house, and saw a rough girl walking hurriedly with her head down, without noticing that the young mistress was nearby, and went straight to the small courtyard behind the main house where Lanzhu lived. Going there, Tong Mingli asked her dowry girl to follow her to take a look. The small courtyard where Lanzhu lived was actually the courtyard where her close maid lived, but Lanzhu lived in a single room, and others could only share it with multiple people, so Tong Mingli was confident that she could touch it. Lanzhu's house inspection.

After a while, the girl who pretended to go back to the house to buy clothes returned the favor, and the package was delivered directly to Lan Zhu's house.

Lan Zhu went out with Liang Zhongshan in the morning. Last night when the husband and wife were talking, Liang Zhongshan ordered Lan Zhu to go out to do some errands in front of Tong Mingli. Judging from the journey, Lan Zhu would not come back until the afternoon after running errands.

Since the previous package was delivered directly to the house, it meant that Lanzhu didn't lock the door before leaving. It seemed that she knew that there was a package arriving today, so she didn't lock the door on purpose. This just gave Tong Mingli a chance.

Thinking of this, Tong Mingli couldn't sit still, but she continued to hold back, called her confidant girl to give instructions, and then found other things to distract her.

The dowry girls are naturally towards their own young lady. They are anxious to see that the relationship between the young lady and the uncle is not good. When they first heard that the young lady asked them to drag the girls in Liang's mansion for a while, let them not go back to this little girl too soon. The courtyard came to take a lunch break, and they obeyed the unprecedented strange order without hesitation.

The maids take turns to go to the kitchen to eat. In addition, the master and the young mistress are separated again. The girls who belong to the Liang family in the main house are a little slack. During the meal time, she ran away without a trace, and Tong Mingli simply let it go if she couldn't correct it, but she didn't expect that it would be convenient for her to do things now.

So lunch time is a good time to do it. Tong Mingli waited patiently until her food was delivered to the room, and then, as usual, left two confidant girls to wait on the meal, and the rest of the dowry girls went to eat first. Run away.

Tong Mingli ate something casually first, and when the outside was completely quiet, she immediately went out, leaving a confidant girl behind, and only took the other person away, and under the guidance of the girl, she passed the path specially for the servants, and it was very easy. The land is in the small courtyard next to the main courtyard.

Everyone went to eat, the small courtyard was empty, Tong Mingli and the girl entered the courtyard gate, first bolted it from the inside, and then the girl pointed out that Lanzhu's room was in the middle of the courtyard and guarded the courtyard gate, Tong Mingli was alone One person entered the house and searched.

The door of the room is still unlocked. When you open the door, you can see the bottom wall directly. On the left is the bed, on the right is the screen and wardrobe placed against the wall, next to the wardrobe is the washbasin, and under the window is a large table. There are dowry, needlework, household account books, study room and an unopened package. The thing is quite big, like a big box for tea sets. It is wrapped layer by layer with unmarked oilcloth, which is tighter than ordinary packages. Tong Mingli glanced at the original packaging method and guessed that it might be a precious item that had been transported over a long distance.

The package was not opened, Tong Mingli couldn't tell whether it was Lan Zhu's own package or Liang Zhongshan's, and it was just handed over to Lan Zhu for collection.

If it was collected on behalf of others, it can only show that Liang Zhongshan has too many secrets from his wife, and in his heart only Lan Zhu can be trusted.

Tong Mingli was very entangled with the package, after much deliberation, she still took out a handkerchief to rest her hands on, picked up the package and weighed it, and found that it was quite heavy, so she carefully put it down again.

Looking at Lanzhu's house at a glance, everything is on the bright side. Tong Mingli opened every cabinet and drawer, but all of them were Lanzhu's personal belongings, clothes for four seasons, and her jewelry. In the dowry, there was a locked eight-treasure box next to the bed. Tong Mingli pushed it, and heard the sound of coins colliding inside. Knowing that it contained Lanzhu's private money, she stopped messing around.

No matter how you look at this room, it doesn't look like you can hide things. Tong Mingli is in trouble. If she is not in Lanzhu's room, where will she hide the important things?Could it be the beauty?
But Tong Mingli couldn't get in that courtyard, there were people there all the time, there was no chance to sneak in, not to mention that there were so many people living in that courtyard, if she really hid something, she really didn't know whose house it would be hidden in.

Tong Mingli's gaze returned to the package on the table again, thinking that Lanzhu, as Liang Zhongshan's confidant, had sent and received countless things through her hands, but her own wife, sitting in the main room, had never seen any of them. I don't know what private activities my husband has outside.

Beauties are also divided into grades, Lan Zhu is a useful assistant, and other beauties are playthings. Tong Mingli repeatedly speculated that it is impossible for Lan Zhu to hide the items handled by the beauties in the yard of the beauties. It is too dangerous to be out of control. It is hidden in her own room, but she has a secret corner that is not easily found by others. The place is so safe that Lanzhu can rest assured that she will not lock the door when she goes out, so that others can enter her room to put things.

Tong Mingli paced back and forth in this not-so-spacious room. There were no decorative paintings on the walls, and the wardrobe was too heavy to be moved at will. The table was also empty, with charcoal for heating. There is a basin under the bed, and the height from the ground is only enough to reach into the broom and mop. Obviously, things cannot be placed under the bed.

As for the only large moving object in this room...

Tong Mingli glanced at the screen standing in the corner, which was placed next to the wardrobe closet against the wall, moved out when needed, and moved back after use, so as not to take up too much indoor space, after all, the room is small.
