When Yu Qiaoqiao came to deliver cakes, she was also driven out by Gu Baizhou. Only Lord Gu could see him when he came.

"What's going on? Has the Seventh Prince agreed to give you a position?"

"No." Gu Baizhou clenched his hands, "Father, Wang Fei is already pregnant with his child, why is he still unwilling to help me."

Lord Gu was also puzzled by this. The Seventh Prince had been bedridden for many years and was in poor health. Their mansion had sent out a Crown Prince's wife to bear children for him. The Seventh Prince could not help but be grateful.

"I feel like our plan has failed. Perhaps the Seventh Prince doesn't care at all whether Wang Fei is pregnant with his child." Gu Baizhou muttered to himself.

"Impossible. If the plan failed, the Seventh Prince would not have cared so much for Yu and even gave his personal maid to Yu Wangfei." Marquis Gu immediately retorted.

"That's why he doesn't even want to give me a small official position!"

After thinking for a while, Lord Gu seemed to understand something: "The royal family values ​​the prince the most. Perhaps the Seventh Prince treated you this way because he was worried that the baby in Yu Wangfei's belly was a girl."

He could only think of this reason, otherwise he couldn't understand why the Seventh Prince valued Yu Wangfei but not the child in her belly.

"Now we can only wait until the child in Yu Wangfei's belly is born, then we will have the capital to threaten the Seventh Prince."

There was nothing else he could do. Gu Baizhou sighed and accepted his fate.

Because of what happened during the day, Yunhua could see that Yu Wangfei wanted to go out to find Chu Yuheng, and seemed to have something to say to Chu Yuheng.

So after nightfall, Yunhua took the initiative to send a carrier pigeon to Chu Yuheng.

Chu Yuheng's mouth curled up unconsciously when he got the news. He quickly dealt with the things in his hands and sneaked into Fangfei Garden at night.

Yu Wangfei, who was sleeping, suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance. She pulled the quilt up shyly.

Seeing this, Chu Yuheng directly lifted her quilt and lay down beside her.

"How did you come."

"I knew you wanted to see me, so I came."

"Nonsense, I don't want to see you." Yu Wangfei turned his head away.

Chu Yuheng didn't expose her and hugged her waist from behind: "I've been busy these days and I'm not at home. If you want to see me in the future, tell Yunhua and I'll come over when I'm free."

"It's not that I want to see you, I just want to ask you what happened to the shop deeds I gave you."

Although Yu Wangfei said this, Chu Yuheng still felt that it was an excuse for her to see him.

"Don't worry, we've let the specialists do it." Chu Yuheng said with a smile, "But I came here today because I need your help with something."

Since receiving the imperial edict, he has started to investigate the case of embezzlement, but the most critical list of personnel has been lost inexplicably. According to the report of the spies, it was said that Lord Gu secretly took the list out when he was investigating the personnel list in the Ministry of Revenue.

Although he was very skilled in martial arts and could enter and leave Fangfei Garden at will, he could not go to Lord Gu's study to look for the list at will.

Because there were no guards guarding Yu Wangfei's Fangfei Garden, he could easily climb over the wall and enter, but it was different for the Marquis' study.

The study is surrounded not only by heavy guards, but also by layers of traps.

"What's the matter?" Yu Wangfei asked puzzledly, turned around and looked at Chu Yuheng.

"I need you to help me get a list of names from Lord Gu."

"Is it related to the corruption?"

"Yes." Chu Yuheng nodded honestly.

He would not deceive Yu Wangfei unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Okay, I'll help you. I'll let Yunhua bring it to you after I get it." Yu Wangfei agreed.

Generally speaking, Lord Gu would hide all important things in the study, because the study was the most airtight place in the entire Marquis Cheng'en Mansion. And he also had an advantage, that is, after putting the items in, he would not take them out easily unless it was absolutely necessary.

Because Lord Gu has complete confidence in the confidentiality of his study.

She was the only one who knew the layout of the study in the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion, because she had suffered inhumane torture in the study in her previous life...

On the second day, Yu Wangfei took Yunhua for a walk in circles in the inner courtyard, saying that it was for the purpose of nurturing the fetus.

Although she let Yunhua go directly to the study to steal the letter last time, she didn't dare to let Yunhua take the risk this time.

Because she knew the location of the letters last time, Yunhua only needed to sneak into the study and easily get the letters according to the distribution of the mechanisms she drew.

But this time no one knew where the list of personnel was, so she had to go there in person.

"Madam, please let me go. I have been to that study room and I am familiar with the layout of the room." Yunhua requested.

"No, I must go this time." Yu Wangfei shook her head. No one was more familiar with the layout than her.

After wandering around the mansion for three days, Yu Wangfei felt that the time had come.

During these three days, Lord Gu went to Gu Baizhou's room after nightfall every night and would not return to the study until two hours later.

So these two hours are the most critical time points.

Finally, the two of them waited on the roof until the time for Lord Gu to leave. Yu Wangfei took the opportunity to sneak into the study, while Yunhua was outside to check for him.

After entering the study, a familiar memory flooded into her mind. It was in this study that she had suffered inhuman humiliation before. She would never forget the faces of Lord Gu and Gu Baizhou in her life.

The painful memories in her mind made her unable to stand steadily. Yu Wangfei could only hold on to the wall and try to calm herself down.

After taking a few deep breaths, Yu Wangfei looked at the layout of the room, which was exactly the same as in his previous life.

Then she began to search, avoiding every mechanism.

Lord Gu, who had just left, suddenly remembered that the things he brought for Gu Baizhou were left in the study, so he hurried back.

When Yunhua saw Lord Gu coming back, she hurriedly started imitating bird calls as agreed before.

Just when Yu Wangfei was about to succeed, Lord Gu suddenly pushed the door open.

"I'm old and forgot to take my things." Lord Gu muttered to himself as he walked to the table, picked up the brocade box on the table, and then walked out of the study.

At this moment, Yu Wangfei was behind the screen, tightly holding the list of people in his hand, not daring to breathe.

After confirming that Lord Gu had left, Yu Wangfei breathed a sigh of relief, opened the list in his hand, and found that it was the one Chu Yuheng needed.

After successfully obtaining the list, Yu Wangfei and Yun Hua evacuated safely.

Back at Fangfei Garden, Yu Wangfei looked at the names on the list and understood why Lord Gu would rather Gu Baizhou mess up than give out the list.

Because the people on the list are all important officials in the court and are from aristocratic families. Even if they want to move, they don't have the ability to do so.

It would be better to have evidence of corruption by these wealthy and powerful families, so that maybe they can be used to threaten them later.

Just like they asked Yu Wangfei to mate with Chu Fei, so as to use the seed in her belly to threaten Chu Fei.
