After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Mingjia's life has been leisurely and fulfilling recently. Every day when she opens her eyes, she goes to the study to copy books. During lunch, she is always sent to the study.

However, Xiao Qingshan has been too busy recently, and all the trivial matters of the entire Xiao family have fallen on Mingjia.

Mingjia will still go back to the backyard to be with Mr. Dong for dinner. Although Ms. Dong is still in confinement, with the blessing of Mr. Ye, her body has recovered well.

"Jiajia, have you stayed up late these days? Look at the green color under your eyes!"

In the past two days, Xiao Qingshan was busy with government affairs. Master Yang suddenly arranged many errands for Xiao Qingshan for some reason.

Mingjia was busy copying books, and on the night of the Lantern Festival on the 15th, Mingjia issued a death order to the servants of the Xiao family, and no one was allowed to mention anything about the Song family in front of the Dong family.

Therefore, Mrs. Dong has been taking care of her baby with peace of mind, unaware that everyone in the government office is extremely busy.

"Well, I borrowed some books from Uncle Yang and agreed on a time to return them. I want to make a copy of them before returning them."

Dong Ming felt distressed to pick up some food for Mingjia, hoping that Mingjia would eat more and replenish her body.

"Mom, this is your confinement meal, don't give it to me!"

Mingjia put down her chopsticks and reminded Dong that Dong's confinement meal originally only consisted of brown sugar millet porridge with boiled eggs and some greasy soup.

Mingjia only saw that Dong had eaten a meal, so she suggested adding some green vegetables, but they were all vegetables with less salt.

Dong's confinement meal is definitely not as sumptuous as that of modern mothers, but it is still extremely rare.

Even so, it was still too indifferent for Mingjia. Mingjia would only have dinner with Dong.

Mrs. Dong naturally knew Mingjia's taste, so she asked Mrs. Shui to go to the kitchen and order two dishes with strong flavor that Mingjia loved.

"Mom, I ate it in the study at noon! You don't have to give me more food!"

Mrs. Dong ignored Mingjia's obstruction and motioned to Mrs. Shui to go to the kitchen and add some food!

"As a mother, I don't know about you? Although you don't take the imperial examination, you love books as much as your brother. You can't eat strong dishes when you eat in the study."

Mingjia smiled. Her love for books was fundamentally different from her brother's love, and the ways of realizing them were naturally different.

However, Mingjia will not continue to block her mother's concern for her, she will just wait to eat the food.

Mingjia accompanied Mr. Dong to eat slowly and chat slowly until Xiaotao came to report that Master Yang had sent a servant to look for Master Mingjia.

Ming Jia was full already, so she quickly put down her bowls and chopsticks, said hello to Mrs. Dong and went out.

The visitor was brother Jinyan, whom Mingjia was familiar with. After explaining his purpose, he took Mingjia towards the Song family.

Mingjia was following Jinyan at first, but after walking in the wrong direction, Mingjia began to slow down, and finally almost walked back backwards.

Jinyan was walking in front, and when he heard the footsteps behind him, something was wrong. When he turned around, he found that Master Mingjia had already stood there and stopped taking a step.

"Master Mingjia, my master is waiting for you in front!"

Jinyan walked back quickly and persuaded Mingjia to take two steps quickly, but Mingjia looked in the direction of the Song family and swallowed.

"Brother Jinyan, don't tell me that... something was found in the Song family's yard!"

Mingjia asked cautiously, her tone revealing her inner fear. Mingjia was already planning to buy a house and move out with her family.

Jinyan was stunned for a moment, knowing what Mingjia was talking about.

"Master Mingjia is joking. I came to you not to find anything, but because it is too clean and I found nothing!"

It turned out that after Song Shaowu tortured and killed Bizi and the beggar, Yang Tingxuan wanted to search the Song family on the grounds of searching for evidence.

As long as it is not a major crime involving rebellion, it is difficult for a son's crime to affect his father. Therefore, even though Song Shaowu has been detained, Song's position as staff officer is still there.

"My lord expelled the Song family from the Song family for two hours, and then personally led people to search the Song family, but they searched inside and outside several times and found nothing!"

Time was tight, so Jinyan explained to Mingjia while walking, but Mingjia also understood.

Several houses of the Song family are connected to the south of the government office. As soon as Ming Jia entered the courtyard, he saw a group of people rummaging around in the yard.

"Uncle Yang, please ask Brother Jinyan to find me. Do you think I can discover hidden secret rooms if I understand the structure of a house?"

Ming Jia walked to Yang Tingxuan and couldn't help but joke.

Yang Tingxuan was really out of ideas, so he wanted to try his luck with Mingjia. Mingjia's way of thinking was actually very different from his own.

"Mingjia, come and give me some different ideas..."

Yang Tingxuan turned around and looked down at Mingjia. He was a little stunned for a moment. Mingjia looked a little out of sorts!

Ming Jia also noticed Yang Tingxuan's condition immediately. Not only his eyes were blue, he even grew a beard.

In ancient times, civil servants usually started growing beards when they were over thirty-five years old. Yang Tingxuan was just about the right age, but he didn't have one when he and Ming Jia last met!

The two people, one large and one small, looked at each other. They both felt that the other's condition was not good, and neither of them spoke to care about the other.

"Uncle Shen Qi, I found some hidden compartments before, but have you sent people to look for them?"

Ming Jia lowered her head and narrowed her eyes slightly, and began to recall several places that Shen Qi had mentioned to her.

Yang Tingxuan must have sent people to search places like this, and he even went to check them personally just now.

"There are hidden compartments, but no account books! We only found a few letters from home!"

Different from Mingjia's reminder, Yang Tingxuan also knew that this must be wrong. Family letters were always open and read for convenience, so why should they be placed in a secret compartment.

Mingjia hasn't learned anything from Xie Boyuan about the settings of institutions or the Feng Shui layout of a house, but she is quite good at drawing floor plans of houses.

Yang Tingxuan found the original drawings of the government office for Mingjia, and Mingjia tried to look for them.

Mingjia looked at the drawings for a while, then walked around the Song family's house with the drawings, but found nothing.

"This is a government office after all. The construction time was when Staff Song came to Dianzhou to take office. It would be difficult for Staff Song to secretly build a large secret room in his own home."

Yang Tingxuan didn't get anything from seeing Ming Jia. He didn't know whether to comfort Ming Jia or tell Ming Jia that this was the wrong way to find him!

Ming Jia stood in the yard of the Song family, looking at the drawings thoughtfully, and then looked up at the house.

"Uncle Yang, I have two ways to find things. One is more violent and the other is more metaphysical. Which one do you choose?"

Yang Tingxuan looked at Ming Jia who suddenly raised her head and smiled at him, her heart trembled, and she had a bad premonition.

But Yang Tingxuan could probably guess what kind of violent method Ming Jia was talking about, and it was nothing more than demolishing the house.

But Yang Tingxuan couldn't come up with any method in metaphysics.

"Then try metaphysics!"
