Yu Zhi's mind was occupied with finding threads, and the more clueless she became, the more irritable she became. The night was already very late, and Yu Zhi still didn't sleep with her eyes closed. She opened her eyes and meditated for a long time, then slowly sat up and got dressed.

, and got out of bed lightly.

"Where to go?" Wen Jiuxiao's voice came from the darkness.

Yu Zhi paused for a moment and said, "People have three urgent needs." He opened the door and went out.

Wen Jiuxiao, who was drowsily asleep, woke up instantly when he heard the sound of the door opening. When he chased out the door, Yu Zhi had long disappeared. This woman who was full of lies dared to run away under his nose, and finally

What's deplorable is that I didn't take him with me.

Where did Yu Zhi go? She visited Duke Bai's house at night. She already knew that there was something wrong with Duke Bai. If she went there a few more times, she might be able to find some clues.

The entire Bai Guogong Mansion was silent, with only candles still lit in some places. Yu Zhi also met the servants on night watch. Judging from their footsteps, they were all ordinary people. They also met night guards, loose and loose.

, walked around for a while and then went back to the house to sleep. It was heavily guarded, and there were really no martial arts masters.

Of course, it’s just that Yu Zhi didn’t encounter it. After all, the Duke’s Mansion is quite big, and it’s impossible for Yu Zhi to visit every place.

The first thing she went to was Bai Youfu's courtyard. She was familiar with it once and got familiar with it the other time. She had come back once before, and it was much smoother this time. The square where Bai Youfu lived was naturally dark, but there was a little light across the courtyard. Yu Zhi touched it

He walked over, lay down on the ridge of the roof and gently peeled off the tiles.

I saw a young woman doing needlework under the lamp, and there was a little maid beside her, yawning constantly, "Girl, it's getting late, go to bed, it won't be good if you're exhausted."

The young woman didn't even raise her head, "You go to bed first. I'll embroider this handkerchief and ask someone to send it out to sell tomorrow."

The maid was very frustrated, "I don't know when the eldest son will come back. Alas, if he were in the palace, the girl's life wouldn't be so difficult. She would have to make embroidery to supplement her living. The Duke's palace, even this little monthly routine

All the money is deducted."

"Ma'am, this is just to show your anger."

"But miss, you didn't do anything. I heard from the girl guarding the gate of Madam's yard that Madam wants to kick out all the concubines of the eldest son. She said that the eldest son was seduced by these people." The maid lowered her voice and finished speaking.

Realizing that something was wrong, he quickly explained, "Girl, I'm not talking about you. You were snatched into the house by the eldest son."

"You can just say these things in front of me. If you don't want to die, just keep your mouth shut." After a pause, he hummed: "Where did the concubine come from? All the women in this yard have to fight for it.

They look like black eyes, but they are just bed-warming girls."

The maid also understands that the eldest son is not married, so how can he support his aunt?

"Girl, if Madam really chases me away, can you leave?"

The young woman bit off the embroidery thread and said, "Let's go, why don't you go? I didn't enter the house voluntarily."

"Your family..." The maid was very worried.

I heard the young woman say: "If I don't go home, if I go back, I will be sold out again by my evil brother. I have hands and feet, and as long as I work hard, I can always support myself. I can take advantage of what I have to eat now."

I will embroider some more handkerchiefs and save some more money so that I can settle down when I get out."

The maid was very envious, "Young girl is capable, but slaves are not good enough. They don't know anything and are still slaves. This is what they will do for the rest of their lives." The conversation changed and she lowered her voice again, "Girl, do you think the eldest young master can come back again?

?”

"Then who knows? We can't worry about it. Trouble will come from the mouth, so don't say a few words." She now hoped that the madam could really kick her out.

Yu Zhi knew clearly that this was Bai Youfu's woman, who had been snatched into the house by him. Yu Zhi walked around the yard and found nothing. Just as he was about to leave, there was a rustling sound coming from the rockery.

Yu Zhi only hesitated for a second and then passed quietly.

"Yu'er, good Yu'er, I miss my brother so much." This was obviously a man's frivolous voice.

"Take it easy, you dead man, you are so brave. If the eldest son finds out, huh." This is the coquettish anger of a woman.

"Death under the peonies, even a ghost can be romantic... Don't worry, the eldest son doesn't know where he is yet. He won't know. Hurry, good Yu'er, give me a kiss..."

Then there is the kind of voice that would be blocked if the author wrote it.

Yu Zhi's head is covered with black lines. Is this because Bai Youfu's woman couldn't bear the loneliness and hooked up with someone? If it were anyone else, Yu Zhi would have sympathized with him. But Bai Youfu, Yu Zhi just wanted to say, he deserves it!

Yu Zhi was going to visit the huge Duke Bai's mansion tonight. She couldn't distinguish the various courtyards clearly. She could only go where there was light, and then judge which master's courtyard it belonged to.

Mrs. Bai has gone to bed long ago. Mrs. Bai is coming out of the Buddhist hall. The maids and women are holding lanterns. They all smell of incense. Yu Zhi is very disdainful and does not discipline the children properly. Praying to gods and Buddhas is of no use. Buddha

If it could really manifest itself, it wouldn't bless such a beast.

The last courtyard that Yu Zhi went to was very remote. It was so remote that Yu Zhi didn't even want to go there. Such places were usually guest courtyards, or guest courtyards for poor relatives who came to visit for the autumn breeze. Either way, they were used to punish disobedient and make mistakes.

of the concubine.

But who let there be lights here? Yu Zhi took the opportunity to turn around.

As soon as the tiles were lifted, Yu Zhi was shocked. Who do you think she saw?

Duke Bai! Yu Zhi saw Duke Bai. She actually saw him in this remote and dilapidated courtyard!

There was another person in the room, a young man. His name was Bai Guogong's father!

He, he, he...Didn't Duke Bai just have a son in vain? No, he also has a son, who I heard is stupid, but no matter how he looks at the man in the room, he doesn't look stupid!

Yu Zhi's heart was pounding, and something flashed through her mind. She intuitively told her that she seemed to have discovered some big secret. She lay on it, not daring to move or even look down.

My ears can hear their voices.

"Runze, you haven't been very peaceful recently, so you shouldn't go out. You should stay indoors and study. If something goes wrong, just... keep Qingshan here, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood..."

"Dad, isn't it true that the second brother has been exiled? Is someone deliberately targeting our family?"

"When you are an official in the government, who doesn't have three or five political enemies? Don't be afraid. Dad is also planning for a rainy day. I hope I overthink it. Okay, you can go and rest."

Yu Zhi suddenly remembered Wen Jiuxiao's suspicion. Could this be the son of Bai Guogong and Yao Yapo? If true, why did he raise his good son as a fool? His wife couldn't bear it? Yu Zhi always felt that this was not the reason.

But no matter what the reason was, tonight's harvest was huge. At least she knew that Duke Bai also had a very healthy son, oh, the eldest son. But she didn't know what he was planning to hide this son? Look at these two

When getting along with others, Duke Bai valued his son very much and ordered him to study hard.

Ha, as expected, as long as Yu Xiaozhi takes more walks, he will discover something. Such good luck!
