First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 432 A big drama

Seeing Wei Ling's pair of black and white eyes staring at him without blinking, Su Jixiang immediately laughed.

"Why late? It's never too late for my husband to go!" Su Jixiang slapped his thigh and said, "Let's go now!"

"Madam, you are so kind to me!" Wei Ling's face suddenly lit up with smiles. Su Jixiang shook his head helplessly, burned the secret letter, and then dragged Wei Ling along to change his clothes. He couldn't wear all those colorful clothes when traveling at night.

As soon as they put on their nightgowns, both of them instantly became more energetic, and they both remembered the time half a year ago when they went hand in hand to look for treasure in Phoenix Mountain!

Although today's incident was not as serious as that one, both of them had gossipy expressions on their faces.

There is a curfew in the capital at night.

The Five Cities Military Commission would patrol the night. After dark, the streets and alleys seemed even more desolate and deserted than the capital during the day. Only a few specific streets and alleys were bustling with activity. These were the official venues for the Imperial Music Bureau and prostitutes, known in the capital as the Eight Great Alleys.

Although they could travel at night with their official status, they had to undergo inspections at every checkpoint, which was too troublesome. However, the spies sent by Wei Ling had already figured out the patrol routes and checkpoints of the Beijing Military Commission and had passed them on to Wei Ling long ago, so it was not difficult to avoid these patrols.

"This capital city is really not comparable to our Mang City." Su Jixiang looked at the dark and empty streets in the capital city at night and couldn't help but curl his lips and said.

"Indeed!" It must be said that after only a few days in the capital, Wei Ling did not feel any special feelings towards the place where he grew up. Instead, he missed Mangcheng a little.

The night in Mangcheng is now extremely prosperous. Su Jixiang has specially set up a night market. Even at night, there are crowds of people and the lights are as bright as day. It is not difficult to find something to eat at night. If you want to walk around by yourself, you can go out to the night market. If you don’t want to walk around by yourself, there are special takeaways.

Even people from many other tribes and cities and counties didn't want to leave Mangcheng after living there for a while, because it was so prosperous and convenient!

The public transportation carriage also has a special line around the city that is open twelve hours a day, so no matter how much fun you have, you can take a carriage back to your home.

Moreover, the county magistrate's runners patrolled the city day and night, which had reduced the crime rate in the city to the lowest level.

Today, Mangcheng can basically be said to be a prosperous city where people can leave their doors unlocked at night.

The address Liu Juan gave was not difficult to find. It was the second house after entering Huaishu Hutong.

Wei Ling brought Su Jixiang closer to the courtyard. It was a house with three entrances and three exits. Having such a house in the capital was considered a decent life.

Wei Ling brought Su Jixiang into the yard, where lights were on in the side rooms of the main courtyard.

The door creaked open from the inside, and two men in cloaks walked out of the room.

Both of them were thin, and one of them was holding a lamp.

Then a man followed out.

Seeing this, Wei Ling quickly pulled Su Jixiang, and the two of them hid in the dark corner of the moon gate.

"You really can't come tomorrow?" The man grabbed a cloaked man and asked expectantly.

"I really can't come tomorrow. But I've ordered a cake from Jixiangzhai, and it will be delivered tomorrow," the man said.

As soon as he said this, Wei Ling and Su Jixiang looked at each other. Wow, they were really caught up by those two onlookers!

The woman's voice was so sweet, it was none other than my uncle's new wife, Ruan!

"Girl, let's go early. This time it's Commander Xiao's post, everything is easy. If the post is changed later, it will be difficult for us to go back!" said another person standing aside. It sounded like an older woman.

"Yeah." Ruan nodded.

The man followed them closely and accompanied them to the door. "Mrs. Ruan, how many days will it take for you to come?" He asked while pulling Ruan's sleeve at the door.

"It'll probably take about three to five days," Ruan said. "The old man has just found a doctor to help me with my pregnancy and has also made an appointment to take me to the temple to pray. It'll definitely take some time to go back and forth."

"Then I'll wait here for you to come back." The man spoke very obediently. Ruan nodded and reluctantly got on a carriage parked in the backyard.

The carriage moved slowly in the night and soon disappeared.

The man watched the carriage leave until it disappeared into the darkness, then he turned around and closed the back door.

As soon as he turned around, he ran impatiently to the last of the three courtyards, opened a small corner door, and a young woman walked out of the door.

"Oh, they're finally gone!" the woman complained.

"Thank you for your hard work, my lady!" The man supported the woman and said with a smile, "It's really unfair for you, the wife, to hide in the woodshed!"

"How dare you say that!" The woman spat at the man. "Once we get that woman's money, let's get out of here. She makes me sick just looking at her. She's pregnant, and she's still flirting with other men out there. She doesn't even mind her weight!"

"Hehe." The man laughed awkwardly.

"But then again, you're not going to acknowledge this child, are you?" the woman turned around and glanced at the man, asking sternly. "I'm warning you, if you dare acknowledge this child, I'll fight you to death!"

"How could that be!" the man said with a smile, "I'm just after her money. Who knows if the child is really mine? Maybe it really is that old man from her family!"

"Haha. I'm glad you know!" The woman sneered and was supported by the man into the main house in the front yard. As she entered the house, she continued, "I've already asked someone to look at this house. We've already found a buyer for this house. Time is running out. Hurry up and urge that bitch to give her the money. We'll leave after we get it!"

"I understand. This is natural." The man responded repeatedly and accompanied the woman into the house.

Soon, the lights in the room went out, and I guess the two people went to bed.

Seeing that the show was over, Wei Ling and Su Jixiang left the yard with Su Jixiang.

"Do you think the child in Ruan's belly is from your Wei family?" Su Jixiang asked curiously.

"I'm afraid only Ruan herself knows about this." Wei Ling touched his nose.

"Are you going to tell your uncle about this?" Su Jixiang asked again.

Wei Ling frowned. He was also thinking about this matter. Should he tell his uncle?

"Maybe he can find out himself..." Wei Ling thought again and again, then said, "Don't worry about this for now, I'll take care of it."
