"Make sure it's clean." Min Rui's voice reached Gu Ling's ears.

Lady Min snorted coldly, "Don't worry."

There was silence afterwards, but Gu Ling did not leave, still waiting quietly in his original spot. He heard Lady Min moving around in the room, the sound of a chair being moved, and a teacup being picked up and put down.

About a quarter of an hour passed, and Min Rui spoke again, "I wonder if your father's matter has been settled."

Lady Min immediately silenced him, "Shut up. This has nothing to do with you. If you dare to talk more, don't expect me to help you."

The conversation was quite informative. Gu Ling thought about the information he was ordered to investigate about Min Rui before his arrival in Chang'an: both of Lady Min's parents had died, and there were no other relatives in the house. Apparently, this was different from what Min Rui and his wife were discussing. As for the "helping Min Rui" Lady Min mentioned, Gu Ling had already guessed what it was.
