This news really shocked Bai Heran, Bai Jinghong's father?

Could it be that Duan Tiande is here?

She was very confused. It would be fine if Bai Jinghong was in Lancheng. After all, she was raised in the deep boudoir since she was a child. Except for the female family in the capital and the male guests who had many contacts with the Bai family, almost no one from the outside world had seen her, so even if she changed her name and ran to Lancheng, no one knew her.

But Duan Tiande is different. The Duan family in Dezhen is famous, and Duan Tiande is not a big girl who never goes out of the gate. Even if the prefect of Lancheng was bewitched, there would not be no one in the big Lancheng. How could Duan Tiande be rampant?

She thought that she might have a wrong idea, so she asked the people around her with a gossip: "Does the new wife's father also live in the house?

Why have you never seen it before?"

The maid she asked giggled, "You have only been here for a few days, so of course you have never seen me before, not to mention that the new lady's father doesn't live in our mansion.

The master kept the husband around him as his staff, so he usually stayed in the yamen and had a house outside, but he would come back and forth to visit his new wife a few days later.”

"That's true, no wonder I haven't seen it before."

Bai Heran nodded. It seemed that he was still smart, otherwise how could he be an aide?

Bai Jinghong indeed brought a helper, but he didn't know what the helper's real identity was.

The meal was finished quickly. Even if the servants wanted to gossip for a while, they finally knew their identity and did not dare to delay it. After they finished eating, they hurried back to their yards to do their own things.

Bai Heran followed the people in the same yard and asked more questions as he walked: "Mrs. Xin must have a good relationship with her father and daughter, right?

The new lady is so beautiful and needs to be loved by the master. Her father must be very happy. After all, the daughter is the beauty of her parents."

The servant walking together nodded, "It's really good. Every time the husband comes to visit the new wife, the father and daughter will close the door and say thoughtful words for an hour or two.

I heard that the new wife lost her mother when she beat her young and her father raised her, so her relationship was naturally excellent.”

Bai Heran nodded and didn't ask anything else, but how he thought about why he thought something was wrong.

It would be fine if the so-called father was Duan Tiande, but if it weren't, then the two of them would talk for an hour or two behind closed doors, which would be unnatural.

Is it a communication of how to deceive Wei Jingtong and how to make money in Lancheng?

Or are there other actions?

Yugu's yard has arrived. Compared to the high-gate and rich people in the capital, the people in Lancheng are relatively casual, and the mansions are not so particular, and not even every courtyard will be named.

At least she didn't see a yard with a separate name in the Wei Mansion. People distinguished between which yard and which yard was directly said to be the old lady's yard, the master's yard, or the new lady's yard.

Unlike Beijing, every small courtyard will be named for the sake of its good name.

Bai Jinghong had already come out of the house now, and Wei Jingtong followed her out, carefully supporting her.

Bai Jinghong was looking for someone and was asking the tall girl who was guarding: "Where is the new Xiaoju?"

Bai Heran quickly walked two steps to her and bowed: "Madam, I'm going to have a meal."

Seeing her come back, Bai Jinghong was obviously relieved, "It turns out that he is going to eat, just eat, just eat."

Bai Heran pretended not to understand, "Where did the madam think I've been going?"

"I thought you...forget it, no matter where you go, you can come back.

In the future, just follow me. I will ask people to bring more food. Just eat with me! If the master is here, you can bring the food to your own house... Hey, you don’t have a house yet, right?

It’s better to live in the wing room, it’s convenient for me to ask you.”

Bai Jinghong pointed to the wing room, which was the east wing of her main room, which was the best room in this courtyard besides the main room.

Bai Heran was flattered, "I dare not want such a good house. I just need to live in a side room with my sisters in the backyard. That is where the servants live! If the wife needs to watch the night, just wrap a quilt next to her bed."

Bai Jinghong laughed, "I don't need a servant to watch the night in front of the bed. The master is here every night and there is no need to guard it.

If you let you live in the east wing, you can live with peace of mind. It’s not that you want to live well on purpose, but it will be more convenient when I call you."

Wei Jingtong lowered her face, "You can live wherever you want. The servants just need to be obedient, do you understand?"

Bai Heran nodded immediately, "I understand, I must be obedient."

She lived in this yard, and a maid took the initiative to prepare bedding for her. Some maid even brought snacks and fruits into the house to please her, and quietly told her that it was deducted from the old lady and the young lady's case.

Bai Heran knew that the old lady was in a bad situation now, but she didn't expect that she would be so bad that she would be deducted from her food by a slave.

There is also the eldest lady, who is said to be the legitimate daughter left by Mrs. First, after the wife died, the eldest lady lived a very miserable life and was in a bad state.

She had never seen the young lady, but it was said that her mother's death had caused her strong stimulation. Now she was not very clear about her mind. She either cried or laughed every day, but Wei Jingtong didn't care at all, which was very sad.

Wei Jing accompanied Bai Jinghong to sit in the yard for a while, and soon returned to the room. After Bai Heran settled his room, the two of them had been in the room for a long time.

The servant in the yard said with envy: "The master is so nice to treat the new lady. He is unwilling to leave for a moment. If he hadn't been with official duties, he would have been with the new lady for twelve hours a day!"

Someone immediately responded: "That's not the case. Otherwise, people still have to be good-looking. Only when they look good can they have a good life, and only when they look good can they keep a man's heart tied to themselves."

Some people sighed in a low voice, "The old lady was also beautiful in the past, but when she got older, she was... but who could not get older?

People are going to grow old!"

The people in the yard were silent, all women, and when faced with this topic of aging one day, everyone was sad.

Bai Heran had no intention of sighing that she was getting old, so she stood back to Bai Jinghong's door, thinking silently that no matter whether Wei Jing stayed overnight tonight, she must find a way to touch the house and see who the person in the dark room was.

It was said that it was all in Bai Jinghong's yard, but in fact, there were a lot of things in the mansion. Because I was busy holding a banquet, almost half of the servants in the mansion were busy with the banquet.

Although the mansion has already gained experience in holding banquets frequently, there are still some things that need to be prepared immediately, such as dishes, snacks, etc.

So people are busy, and the servants in the small yard are busy.

Bai Heran is the most leisurely one. He just stands at the door and doesn’t have to pay attention to anything.

The hidden whistles hidden around the courtyard are also very leisurely. In broad daylight, the people they want to guard against cannot enter the mansion in broad daylight. Moreover, even if they break through, they can see any abnormalities in such a bright day at a glance.

Therefore, the secret whistles are not very vigilant during the day. Even if the ninth prince is hidden in the dark room in the house, this is Bai Jinghong's house. Bai Jinghong is the man of the King of Gebu, so the guard is not very strict.

It was dark and someone came to change to Bai Heran and asked her to go to bed. They took turns to watch.

But Bai Heran shook her head and did not agree, because the reason was that the new wife did not speak, so she did not dare to change places.

Others had no choice but to let her stand here.

However, some people also reminded her: "If you hear nothing happening later, then you will hear that the lady and the master are asleep, so you can't just stand here and get the house to watch.

There is a quilt in the small grid in the outer room. You can hold a bed and sit outside the screen in the inner room. You can sniff for a while, but you can't sleep too well, so as not to hear what the master and wife need."

Bai Heran nodded, "I understand, this is called a vigil."

Seeing that she understood the rules, the maid stopped talking and went to do her own business.

Bai Heran waited for more than an hour, and finally, at about the end of Hai, the movement inside gradually disappeared.

She thought that she must have fallen asleep, so she gently pushed the door and entered the room.

As soon as he entered the room, he heard Wei Jingtong's snoring, and Bai Jinghong asked, "Who is it?"

She hurriedly said, "Sister Xiaoju, come in and watch the night for the wife and the master."

"It's Xiaoju! Just rest outside. If you can sleep, just sleep for a while. There is nothing to serve inside."

"Madam, do you want to take a shower?"

Bai Heran asked in a low voice.

Bai Jinghong sighed, "No, if I take a bath, he will definitely wake up. If I wake up, I will have to toss again. I feel disgusted."

She stopped asking any more questions and retreated to the outside room to prepare to sit, but when she retreated halfway, she "accidentally" knocked down a chair.

A clanging sound in the quiet night not only woke Wei Jingtong who was already asleep, but also shocked the surrounding whistles and raised their vigilance. Two of them had even approached the room.

Wei Jingtong woke up and rushed out: "What sound?

Who is it?"

At the same time, he stretched out his hand and took the beautiful concubine into his arms.

Bai Heran knelt down with a plop, his whole body trembled, his voice trembled, and he begged while kowtowing, "Good your life, Master, please spare your life! I didn't mean it. I was not familiar with this room and didn't know there was a chair here, so I tripped.

I didn't mean it, please spare me this time! Woo..." She really started crying.

This cry was for crying to the outsider's secret whistle. She had to let the outside know that it was just a little maid who accidentally knocked over the chair, not that something really happened in the room.

Sure enough, when he heard her voice, Bai Jinghong scolded Wei Jingtong for not being surprised, the secret whistle outside quickly retreated.
