Zhou Shiyue looked at Lu Zhaoling and always felt that she seemed a little strange.

"What bad things are you going to do later? Why don't you go to bed?"

Lu Zhaoling was just about to deal with him when there was a light knock on the door.

Qingbao's voice came in.

"Miss, it's already three o'clock. Are we going out?"

Lu Zhaoling: “…”

The amount of help.

Zhou Shiyue raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"Where are you going?" he asked outside.

boom.

Qingbao didn't stand steadily and hit his head on the door.

She was totally shocked.

"Your Majesty?"

As soon as the door was opened, Prince Jin was seen sitting there, looking as comfortable and relaxed as the owner of the house.

Qingbao even wondered if he was a little sleepy. Could it be that it was already dawn?

She turned her head and looked outside. It was indeed still dark.

In the middle of the night, the prince actually appeared in their young lady's boudoir!

Qingyin packed up her things and came over. Seeing her standing at the young lady's door in a daze, she also came over. "Is the young lady up or not asleep yet?"

Then she also saw Prince Jin. "Your Majesty?"

Zhou Shiyue nodded and looked at them again. The two maids were still carrying cloth bags.

"Where are you going?"

Qingyin and Qingbao both looked at Lu Zhaoling.

They don’t know where they are going, but the lady said she was going out to do something bad. Is that okay to say?

Lu Zhaoling sighed.

"I'm going to dig for silver."

Zhou Shiyue's eyes lit up, "Rob the rich to help the poor? Which family do you want to dig? I can give you a few suggestions. The family of the Minister of Works..."

"stop."

Lu Zhaoling interrupted him immediately.

"I'm not some female knight. Why would I rob the rich and give to the poor? I'm going to look for my mother's dowry."

That’s right, Lu Zhaoling had thought about it before. She would definitely go and get the things that Lu Ming had hidden. They were all her mother’s things. Why would she leave them for them to enjoy the good life?

After asking about the academy today, she also knew that it would cost a lot of money to support two sons. Where did Lu Ming get the money?

It's wishful thinking to want to continue spending the wealth left by her mother.

"Your mother?"

"Don't you know that the current Mrs. Lu is not my biological mother?" Lu Zhaoling didn't believe that Prince Jin had not investigated her.

After she fainted on the first day and he sent her back to the Lu family, he should have sent someone to investigate her background.

With his ability, if he really wanted to check, this would be easy to find out.

Others don’t know because Lu Ming is a low-ranking official and his words don’t count, so no one cares.

If you really want to check, what can't you find out?

"I haven't really checked this. How many wives Lu Ming has married has nothing to do with me?" Zhou Shiyue said as a matter of course, "But you do look different from the other members of the Lu family. You are more pleasing to the eye than them."

It must be her mother's credit.

Anyway, he was too lazy to take another look at Mrs. Lu now.

"Is it a lot of silver? I'll help you move it."

"You are really free." Lu Zhaoling shook his head and sighed.

It was indeed quite idle. It was late at night and there was no one else around.

But the Prince of Jin insisted on following and would not leave him behind.

In the end, Lu Zhaoling took him with her.

However, thanks to him, Lu Zhaoling didn't have to climb the wall by herself. She was lifted up by him and jumped up and down and finally reached the outside of the wall.

She glanced at his legs and said, "Take it easy."

"know."

Isn't she here?

After coming out, Lu Zhaoling saw Qing Feng and Qing Lin guarding outside.

This guy climbed through the window with two lookouts.

"I've seen Miss."

Lu Zhaoling was quite speechless. Well, why are you being polite in the middle of the night under someone's wall? It was not polite to begin with.

"Walk."

Qingyin led the way and brought them to the old house where Lu Ming had been before.

Looking at the lock on the door, several people did not consider unlocking the door, but climbed over the wall. Lu Zhaoling was still dragged over by King Jin.

After entering, he listened for a moment, "No one is around."

Qingbao took out a tinderbox and lit a fire.

Everyone looked at this dilapidated house and were wondering why Lu Ming didn't move the things back to the Lu Mansion but left them here?

Isn't it safer to hide it under your own nose?

"Miss, this is it."

Qingyin took them into the utility room in the corner of the backyard.

"I saw Lord Lu standing in front of that broken wooden cabinet before. I don't know where he touched, but the cabinet moved to the side and a secret door appeared. He entered the secret door and took out the silver not long after." Qingyin said in a low voice.

"Lu Ming is not a pauper?" King Jin was very surprised. "I thought he had been poached by you recently and was almost begging for food."

"He's supporting his two sons to study, why would he beg for food?" Lu Zhaoling sneered, "I heard that the academy is very expensive. He can afford to support two sons, do you think he's poor?"

"That's true. I heard that your eldest brother has been in the limelight recently."

He heard about it too?

But what is “big brother”? Why does it sound so weird?

Lu Zhaoling corrected him, "His name is Lu Anrong, please just say his name from now on."

"It seems that not only the relationship between father and daughter is weak, but also the relationship between brother and sister is weak." Zhou Shiyue patted her head and said with emotion, "Luckily, you just came to me as soon as you returned to Beijing. Otherwise, you would be no different from an orphan even if you had a bunch of family members."

thank you.

Lu Zhaoling slapped his hand away. "Can you please stop getting in the way?"

Qingyin and Qingbao had already checked the cabinet back and forth. Qinglin was guarding outside, and Qingfeng was on guard to protect the safety of Prince Jin and Lu Zhaoling at any time.

"Miss, I didn't find the mechanism."

The two maids gained nothing.

"It's all my fault. I didn't try to look carefully that day. At that time, Master Lu had his back to me and his movements were so fast that I didn't see where he touched."

Qingyin felt a little guilty.

"My king, take a look."

Prince Jin walked over, and thinking of Lu Ming's height, he bent his knees and lowered his body a little.

After seeing his actions clearly, Lu Zhaoling understood and her mouth twitched, "Prince Jin, how presumptuous you are."

"If you're looking at the blocked area at the door, it should be here..."

He looked at the area on his chest, where there were some jars and cans.

But Qingyin and Qingbao have already checked these and found nothing abnormal.

Prince Jin lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something.

He took a step back, "Fire stick."

Qingbao handed over the fire starter, and King Jin shone the fire on the ground. Sure enough, he saw a bulge where the foot of the cabinet was.

He raised his foot and kicked.

With a click.

The cabinet slowly moved away, revealing a secret door.

Qing Yin opened her eyes wide, "I was wrong. I only thought about the movements of his hands, but I didn't think that he kicked with his feet."

When Lu Ming kicked her, she probably thought it was a step forward and didn't pay attention.

"Wait here, I'll go in and take a look first." said King Jin.

However, Lu Zhaoling vaguely felt that there seemed to be something inside that was attracting her.
