The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

Tang Xing ran into the third room of the Tang family. Before the doorman could see his face clearly, he had already turned a corner and disappeared. Lin Tang was horrified and shouted loudly, "Hurry up, someone broke into the mansion..."

Tang Xing didn't dare to rush into the inner house. He ran to the hanging flower gate, sat down on the ground and gasped for breath. "Uncle Lin, please stop shouting. I have something important to tell Sixth Brother. Please help inform him."

Lin Tang had already followed him and pointed at him angrily, "You kid, even if something big happened, couldn't you tell me? You scared me... Never mind, I'll report it for you."

He went to the second gate and called the maid who was in charge of the etiquette room. After giving her some instructions, he returned to the gatehouse.

In the reception hall in the front yard, Tang Bo'an's expression became solemn when he heard his announcement. "Go back first. Remember, you know nothing. You came to me today just to inquire about the placement of Thirteenth Sister's body. Don't alert the enemy."

"I understand. It's almost the end of the year and the shop is busy. I've been eating and sleeping in the shop these days. If Sixth Brother needs me in any way, just let me know."

After everyone left, Tang Boan hurried to find his father. Tang Shiyan knew the seriousness of the matter and took him to Fushoutang to find the old man.

The old man slammed the table so hard that the cups jumped up and spun around on the table.

"How courageous! The spies are even planted right under our noses." The old man's eyes were sharp and he made a quick decision.

"Today is the 26th, the day for our three brothers to have a dinner together. This year's dinner will be held at the Marquis' Mansion. Bo'an, you and Zhong Bai will split up and search the study and bedroom of their two families. Make sure to find the letter they mentioned before the dinner is over."

"Grandfather, what if..."

"If..., our Tang family will disappear from the world! The current emperor is very afraid of the remnants of the Lingnan King. If we get the news from outsiders, whether it is true or false, it will be the death warrant of our Tang family."

"My grandson understands that even if we have to turn both houses upside down, we must find the letter."

Tang Boan pushed the door open and went to discuss the route of action with Tang Zhongbai.

In the evening, the guard leader Tang Lu led a team of people to escort the old man to the marquis's mansion for a banquet.

The banquet was held in the central hall of the front yard. The fire was burning brightly and the smell of sandalwood was wafting. The three brothers took their seats according to their status as the eldest and the youngest.

Before entering the house, the old man gave Tang Lu a look. Tang Lu understood and took his brothers and the old stewards of the Marquis' Mansion and the Second House to the side yard to drink.

As soon as it got dark, Tang Bo'an took Tang San and Tang Si and dressed them in convenient clothing and headed straight to the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion. He was quite familiar with the Marquis' Mansion and quickly found the old Marquis' study.

The management of the Tang family's main and second houses was always lax. As soon as it got dark, the servants would run away without a trace. Because the old marquis was entertaining guests in the front yard, there was no one in the yard where the old marquis lived. It was as quiet as an ownerless house that had been silent for many years.

This was a good thing for the three of them as they were rummaging around.

"Tang San, you are responsible for searching the bookshelf. Tang Si, you are responsible for finding the bookcase and antique shelf."

"Yes."

Tang Boan started knocking on the walls around him. Every family with a certain status would have secret cabinets and rooms in their study and bedroom to keep important documents and valuables.

The three of them searched for nearly half an hour, turning everything upside down. They found two or three in the secret chamber, but they couldn't find even a cover.

"My Lord, what should we do?"

"Let's go to the dormitory."

There was a layer of dust on the table in the dormitory, and it seemed that no one had lived here for a long time.

Tang Boan pondered for a while, looking around the room. The room was covered with dust and spider webs formed around the gauze curtains.

"Let's go, the secret letter won't be hidden here."

Those spies are not stupid. No one lives here all year round. The old marquis would not be stupid enough to hide the letter here. It is either his study or his residence.

Where will it hide?

Tang Boan frowned and thought. His great-grandmother had been dead for many years, and his favorite concubine was Aunt Xue. He had lived in her courtyard most of the time over the years. Could it be possible?

"Go to Jinxiuyuan."

The three of them lay on the roof of Jinxiu Courtyard, lifted up the tiles and looked inside. Aunt Xue and several maids were sitting in the house playing cards.

"Nine o'clock, I win again. You guys have bad luck." The person at the top was dressed in purple, with her black hair casually draped. The light made her skin look white and translucent. Her eyes curved into crescent shapes when she smiled. She was in her forties, but looked like a young woman.

Tang San put the tile back in place and whispered, "How do we lead them away?"

"I heard that Aunt Xue has a beloved son who has been bedridden for many years. Is it okay if we use the name of his sudden worsening illness?" Tang Si asked Tang Boan.

"can."

The most important thing now is to find the letter, and there is no time to worry about anything else.

"Okay, I'll do it." Tang Si said.

In order to take care of her beloved son more conveniently, Aunt Xue arranged her son to live in the side yard so that she could be by his side immediately if there was any trouble.

Tang Si walked away, the side yard was brightly lit. He heard the flirting and panting of men and women playing in the house.

Tang Si's face darkened and he cursed, "Bah, rotten man."

He lifted the tiles and saw a man and a woman in disheveled clothes doing something unspeakable on the couch. Tang Si blushed and threw a stone at the back of the sick man's neck. The man felt a pain in the back of his neck, his eyes rolled back, and his whole body shook violently.

The woman under him saw that he was not moving, and she scolded with a sweet smile: "What's wrong, you can't do it again. Sir, do you want me to help you?"

The man fell off the couch with foam coming out of his mouth, and lay on the ground twitching.

The woman turned over and saw this scene, she screamed in fright.

In an instant, the maid rushed into the room, helped him pull up his trousers, and asked someone to call Aunt Xue. The room suddenly became chaotic.

Tang Si was stunned watching from the rooftop. His original intention was to knock the man unconscious so that the woman would think he was sick and lured Aunt Xue here. Did he hit her too hard and caused her old illness to relapse?

He put the tiles in place and quickly returned to the roof of the main house.

These have nothing to do with him. A sickly person like him who can barely breathe does such a thing. If he really gets sick and dies, it won't be his fault.

Aunt Xue's room was cleared out in a flash. The three of them quickly entered the room, locked the door from the inside, divided the work, and began to search.

What disappointed the three people was that they still didn't find anything in Aunt Xue's room.

When they left, they only heard Aunt Xue yelling in a rage, "Drag this slave out and beat her to death."

There was a burst of crying and begging for mercy, followed by chaos.

Tang Bo'an and Tang San looked at Tang Si, who spread his hands and said, "It has nothing to do with me. He just happened to be ill."

The three returned home disappointed with nothing, but Tang Zhongbai and Jiang Muxia had a great harvest.

The two of them went straight into the butler's room and easily found a letter from the master of the second branch of the Tang family under his mattress. They also found a box of expensive gold and silver jewelry from the room of Tang Jing's mother's personal nanny.

The two men simply tied up the steward and the nanny, secretly threw them to the gate of the palace, and watched the guards drag the two into the palace.
