It was also because he had to teach his brother how to read in the afternoon. Otherwise, he could have hired a carriage to go to the county in the afternoon.

Usually, Sifu would have to practice for a few days to memorize a batch of words. He would probably be able to finish teaching today’s batch in the afternoon. Tomorrow, the two could pretend to walk around the town and return to the shop before dark.

Then, they could naturally go to the county to ask around tomorrow.

“Sounds good.” Jiang Yue had no objections.

“Those two midwives must have inquired in the county,” Xue Yan continued, “Wei Zizhan’s mother died from giving birth to Wei Zizhan, but because of this, Master Wei vented his anger on Wei Zizhan and did not like him.

“Obviously, Master Wei still liked Wei Zizhan’s mother very much. At that time, when Wei Zizhan’s mother died, no matter how stingy Master Wei was, he would have given Wei Zizhan’s mother a funeral.

“Then the people around at that time must have known about this. This can also be considered as evidence. Let’s see if anyone knows where Wei Zizhan’s mother’s grave is.”

Although it wasn’t hard evidence, it was still something that could perhaps lead them to something bigger.

That way, he can find out what happened clearly and make sure that he knew everything before presenting it to the palace.

When the time comes, they will be able to react to unexpected situations with

ease.

Jiang Yue had the same intention. She planned on finding as much evidence as she could and make it so that it would be impossible for the others to argue against. She said, “Of course, we’ll ask around tomorrow.”

The two of them whispered their plans as they returned to their shop.

In their shop, there were still a few customers eating rice noodles. In the huge hall, each customer sat at their respective tables, making the shop look empty.

When Sifu saw them return, he asked them to go to the back for lunch.

Now, not only did Yunxin and Taozhi help out in the shop, but there were other relatives and friends helping around as well now. When selling dried rice noodles and breakfast, there was no need for Sifu to do it himself any longer.

After having lunch with the others, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan came to the front hall again.

Only then did Sifu and Dagui go to the back to eat.

After Sifu had his lunch, there were no more customers coming to eat the rice noodles. However, there was a bun shop that came to buy dry rice noodles. Sifu was busy with these matters and recorded the bill before practicing writing again.

Unknowingly, the sky turned dark.

There was nothing much to do at night, and the weather was cold. After Xue Sifu and the others had dinner, they washed up early and went to bed.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s rooms in this shop were also adjacent. Xue Yan knew that Jiang Yue was going to secretly send a letter to the county at night, and he knew that Jiang Yue would not leave through the main entrance. She would probably use the window again, so Xue Yan gently pushed open the window on his side and looked at the window of the room next to him.

The reason why he was so quiet and tried not to make a sound was because the room next to his was Sifu’s. It would be bad if his Sifu heard them trying to sneak out.

Jiang Yue was very good at listening to the slightest sound. She happened to walk to the window and was about to push it open. Right then, she heard a very soft sound from the window next door. Knowing that it was Xue Yan, she did not show any expression. Instead, she continued to push the window open as quietly as possible.

She first glanced over at Xue Yan’s side and saw Xue Yan standing in front of the window looking at her. Only then did she take out the rope she had prepared from her space, hook one end of the rope to the window, and then go down along the rope.

When she landed steadily on the street below, she shook her hand and loosened the end that was hooked onto the window frame.

She caught it nimbly and went around to the back of her shop. She jumped over the wall and entered the courtyard. She silently led the horse from the barn into her space. She couldn’t bring anything else into her space, but she could still bring a horse.

Then, she jumped over the wall and went to the county.

Even though Jiang Yue had already disappeared, Xue Yan was still standing by the window and watching the night sky.

Even though there was no expression on his face, he had an inner turmoil thinking that he could not continue like this..
