Chapter 116: True and False Ledgers

To be honest, Du Hua was not quite delicious when he ate this noodles. After all, he had already eaten real delicacies, so how could he think this noodles with some fishy smell were delicious?

What you eat is just a thought.

Moreover, he not only ate the noodles and eggs, but also drank the last soup in one go. After putting down the bowl, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Yueniang looked at his movements and a smile flashed away from the corner of her mouth.

The fish has been hooked!

"Master, I think you are really hungry. Fortunately, I remember to deliver food to you, otherwise I think you will be hungry to work tonight."

Du Yueniang smiled and joked, and reached out to take out a clean handkerchief from her arms and handed it to him to wipe his mouth.

"Haha, it's true, but I haven't had a midnight snack for many years. I realized I was overeating after eating."

After Du Hua wiped his mouth, he touched his somewhat swollen belly, and felt a little satisfied. However, after saying that, he yawned involuntarily.

"Master, you're a little sleepy. Why not take a break soon."

Du Hua shook his head, "It's strange to say that why I was so sleepy tonight? Maybe I drank too much at the dinner just now and now I'm overeating. I'm so sleepy that I'm so sleepy. However, I haven't finished my business yet, so I can't go to bed now."

Du Yueniang got up and walked to Du Hua, smiled tactfully at him, and said.

"Why let me press your head for you and refresh yourself."

Du Hua did not refuse. He really felt that his eyelids were about to close. Press the head to be sober.

Seeing that he nodded in agreement, Du Yueniang walked directly behind him, stretched out her hands, and pressed her head, with her movements very gentle.

But the moment she raised her hand, Du Hua felt that he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance from her body and came from his sleeve. He took a deep breath and felt that the fragrance was very strange, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Yue Niang, have you changed your incense? Why does it taste different from the previous one? But it smells very nice."

After hearing this, Du Yueniang showed a meaningful smile on her face, but she said as if she was a little surprised.

"Is that? I don't know. These were all purchased by the servants for me. Maybe they have changed into new incense. But how about it, do you think I feel comfortable pressing it?"

Du Hua half-closed his eyes, his face was a little confused, but he enjoyed it very much.

"Comfortable, comfortable, really makes my head feel like it's starting to flutter. I don't even know that you have this skill."

Du Yueniang said with some contempt in her eyes.

"Master, I'm afraid I still have a lot of things you don't know."

For example, how much I hate you and An Qinru, how much I want to kill you to avenge Feng'er, for example, if you have a few more days now, you will be unable to protect yourself...

"Is that right? That's okay. We will have to spend the rest of our lives in the future. I will definitely know it slowly."

The more Du Hua said, the lighter the voice became, and slowly, his mind seemed to be stirred into a paste. He had no consciousness and his whole body began to flutter.

It seemed as if someone had been murmured in his ear: Go to sleep, go to sleep!

Slowly, his consciousness was emptied bit by bit, and he finally fell into a head and leaned over the table.

Du Yueniang stopped the movement in her hand and poked him. She found that he was not awake and did not make a sound. She just gave Su Muwan standing next to her.

Seeing this, Su Muwan nodded, walked over with a slight step, and began to search the bookshelf.

Du Yueniang also first explored Du Hua, but found no evidence in him, so she turned to help Su Muwan.

Su Muwan and Du Yueniang searched and searched the bookshelf, on the desk, and even found the account book.

I didn't find any mechanism. This is really strange. According to Du Hua's cautious nature, where would Du Hua hide these evidences?

Su Muwan pinched her chin and glanced at the entire study room, thinking about where else could be where Du Hua might store the evidence.

When she came, she had thought about it for a long time. The entire prefect's palace was very cautious in the study, and Du Hua would work here on weekdays, so the most likely evidence was that he hid it here.

At this time, Du Yueniang suddenly had an idea and walked to the desk again, lifted the carpet below, then squatted down, and carefully searched for the suspicious place.

At this time, she suddenly saw a floor tiles that looked brighter than other colors, which was obviously an effect that would be achieved by touching them frequently.

She stretched out her hand and carefully lifted the floor tiles with her fingernails. Sure enough, there was a world below!

An open space was dug under the floor tiles, and there was a wooden box inside. Maybe it was because Du Hua was a little hasty when he put things in, and now the box has been opened.

Seeing that she had gained something, Su Muwan was puzzled by how she knew that the things would be put there, but she hurriedly walked over and took the wooden box in her hand.

The top of the inside is a thin booklet. Su Muwan opened it and searched it quickly. She saw that the date I wrote down recently was this morning, and there was still some of the ink traces.

I guess this must be the account Du Hua just recorded for himself!

Below this book, there is another one. You don’t need to read it. You know that this book should be the fake account for Shangguan Qian. In addition, it is the letter that Su Muwan wants the most.

She hurriedly opened one of the letters and wanted to confirm it, but when she looked at the handwriting on it, she recognized that it was indeed written by Shangguan Qian to Du Hua.

After all, the princes are often asked to do some calligraphy and painting together in the palace. As Shangguan Yu's princess, she naturally has seen all the prince's handwriting.

The reason why she was so impressed by his handwriting was because she found that Shangguan Qian's handwriting was a bit inconsistent. Although she looked roughly introverted and gentle, she felt that it was very consistent with his image as gentle as jade.

But if you look closely, you will find that the starting and stopping strokes in some parts are slightly sharp, with clear edges and straight edges, which is very inconsistent with the overall feeling of the characters.

People say that the word "is like the person". This sense of incongruity and difference is indeed a true portrayal of Shangguan Qian himself. It looks the most restrained, but in fact the ambition is hidden in it.

If Su Muwan could recognize this handwriting, I think there would be many people in the court who could recognize it, so these few letters are enough.

In addition to correspondence with Shangguan Qian, there are also letters with Xin'an Prefect Zhang Xun. Compared with the evidence of collusion between officials and bandits that Su Muwan has always longed for, it is also included.

But before there was time to read these letters one by one, Su Muwan stuffed everything in the box on her body and put the box back in the distance.

Close the floor tiles as it is, cover the blankets, and restore everything to its original appearance.

After everything was packed, Su Muwan was about to call Du Yueniang to leave, but saw her standing beside Du Hua, with a complicated expression.

Su Muwan's eyes were sharp and she saw a cold light under her sleeve. She knew that she must be holding a sharp weapon in her hand now. Although she didn't know when she took it, she had already had the intention of killing her when she saw her.

Su Muwan naturally couldn't watch her kill Du Hua at this time. Then something happened and when someone heard it, the two of them would definitely not be able to get out of the study.

She hurriedly walked to the side, grabbed Du Yueniang's other sleeve, frowned, shook her head very seriously, and made a "no" lip shaped in her mouth.

Du Yueniang naturally knew the power of this. She just couldn't suppress the resentment in her heart. Seeing her movements, she glanced at Du Hua again, took a deep breath, and put away the dagger in her sleeve.

He turned around and took a piece of clothing onto the couch and covered it on Du Hua.

He opened his mouth and said in a voice that outsiders could hear, "Master, are you asleep?"

Then he lowered his voice and said softly: "Wan'er, since the master is asleep, let's leave and don't disturb him."

These two sentences were naturally spoken for the guards outside. After that, she pushed open the door of the study, and Su Muwan followed her and walked out.

After Du Yueniang went out, she explained to the guards in her voice, with a very gentle expression on her face.

"The master has drunk too much tonight and is asleep now. Please move lighter and don't wake him up."

The guard who had left the door looked inside and saw that Du Hua was indeed lying on the table, covered with a piece of clothing, moving as he breathed, and it seemed that he was asleep.

"Don't worry, ma'am, we understand."

The guard closed the door and said to her respectfully.

Du Yueniang nodded and then took Su Muwan away directly, and walked slowly, afraid that the guards would see some clues.

It was not until the two of them were a little far from the study and the guards could no longer see the sight of them, and then they began to take big steps and hurried back.

Halfway through, he met Qingfeng who came to pick them up. As soon as the three of them met, he couldn't help asking.

"Master, Mrs. Du, how about it? Have you succeeded?"

Seeing Su Muwan nodding, Qingfeng smiled on his face, which was enough to be considered as a painstaking design for the three of them.

"Don't worry, Du Hua will at least sleep until tomorrow morning, and we would have left the prefect's mansion at that time."

"By the way, master, I have already discussed it with Brother Mo Yan at the back door in the evening. They will answer us at the back door in a while."

After hearing this, Su Muwan didn't relax her expression, but instead asked.

"Have you discussed how to get us out? Is it safe to do this?"

Su Muwan was afraid that the noise they would make would be too big and attract the attention of others, which would be a bit unfavorable.
