The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Xu Yao's bold words made Pei Shuo want to laugh. He hadn't been this happy for a long time. Xu Yao couldn't help feeling a little dazed when he saw him laugh.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Xu Yao: "You should smile more often. Why do you have a stern face all day? You are young, you should be happy and relaxed."

Pei Shuo felt his heart beating too fast. He concealed his panic and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Master."

Xu Yao asked him to go back and rest as the next few days would be quite tiring.

When Pei Shuo said he was leaving home, Yang Ping curiously asked him where he was going. Pei Shuo said that his master asked him to look for someone, so he would go to the dock in the next few days. He told Yang Ping that his master was practicing in the room and to try not to disturb him.

Yang Ping nodded, thinking that the master and disciple were very easy to serve.

They were good-natured and generous, and Yang Ping enjoyed serving them.

All the servants in the family envied him for having such a good job.

To be honest, Yang Ping hoped that the master and disciple could stay here for a long time.

In this way, he can complete his mission longer.

Pei Shuo disguised himself and went out, following the drawings given by Xu Yao, and found the dock.

The dock at Panjing Port is quite large. There are many ships parked at the shore, ranging from three-story passenger ships to small fishing boats.

There were busy coolies unloading cargo, and there were also elegant ladies getting off the boat, wearing their caps and looking at the vast dock curiously, but then they quickly got on their own carriages and left in a hurry.

There were also people selling food on the pier. The young ladies and aunts from fishermen's families, wearing headscarves, sold tea and food on the pier to supplement their family income. There were even fishermen on the roadside who caught fresh fish and shrimp and sold them on the pier.

It was a very lively place here. Pei Shuo searched for a long time before he found the boat that Zhuang Mu had chartered.

He saw from a distance that there were guards guarding the front of the boat and ordinary people could not pass through.

It looks like Zhuang Mu’s goods haven’t arrived yet.

Pei Shuo was wearing a coarse linen shirt and his face was painted black, so he was not noticeable in the crowd.

He stared at the bow for a while, thinking that he might not be able to wait for the cargo to be unloaded today, so he decided to wait and see the situation tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, not long after turning around, I saw someone getting off the boat.

The man also saw Pei Shuo and immediately smiled happily, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He then ran to Pei Shuo with the smuggled goods in his hand.

"Shi...Brother Pei, long time no see, why are you here?"

Pei Shuo looked around and pretended to meet Liu Tong again after a long time. "It turns out to be Brother Liu. Didn't I come to the dock to look for someone? What are you doing here?"

"I came here with the ship to deliver the goods. Our Dong family went to the city and left me on the ship to wait for news on when the goods can be unloaded. Now that the food on the ship has been eaten, I came down to buy some smuggled goods."

The two pretended to be polite and found a shady and inconspicuous place to talk.

Looking at the bustling crowds on the dock, Pei Shuo felt deeply moved that the Queen Mother really knew how to govern the country.

He had heard from his father that many years ago, the previous emperor of Beichen died suddenly, and the country was in turmoil for a while.

It happened that disasters occurred in those one or two years, and the people were hungry and suffered from plague. Unexpectedly, after these years, this place has become prosperous.

Liu Tong stared at the boats on the dock, thinking that he was worried about the cargo, and asked quickly, "Where is Master Xu? Why are you the only one here?"

"My master has met with Boss Zhuang. Zhuang Mu has already told my master about Wang Muzhi. We have made a plan. Once we get Wang Muzhi's pepper, we will start to deal with Wang Muzhi."

When Liu Tong heard this, he was very happy.

This means that they are one step closer to the Marquis, and he has been staying on the boat for the past few days, and he is very worried.

Now that he saw that his own prince had not only recovered his movements but also looked much more energetic, he felt even happier.

"By the way, Prince, I have another good news."

"what's up?"

"I saw the lady at the dock the other day."

When Pei Shuo heard this, he immediately looked at him in surprise, "Are you serious?"

Pei Shuo has never seen Pei Yi since he was put in solitary confinement. He only knew that his elder sister had been sold, but he didn't know her whereabouts.

Pei Shuo was mentally prepared that his sister would be sold to a brothel, and he only hoped that he could succeed soon so that he could go back and save his sister. However, he never expected that Pei Yi would appear in Panjing.

He also felt that this matter was related to his father, but he had no clue.

Seeing that he was anxious, Liu Tong advised him to calm down: "I did see the lady that day, but unfortunately I was on the boat and couldn't get off. I only saw the lady get on the carriage with a group of women and disappeared. But I can guarantee that it was really the lady!"

Pei Shuo asked nervously: "Is my sister okay? Is she hurt? Is she......"

Liu Tong paused and said, "Those women look like the wives of wealthy families. The lady is wearing maid's clothes. Maybe someone bought her and she became a maid."

Pei Shuo felt distressed and relieved when he heard him say that.

It doesn’t matter if she is a maid. Even if she is sold to a brothel, it is not my sister’s fault. As long as my sister is alive, it’s enough.

Besides, being a maid is much better than working in a brothel, so Pei Shuo didn't feel so bad.

But being someone else's servant means suffering a lot.

The Pei family thought they had never treated their servants harshly, but there was a world of difference between servants and their masters.

If the master wants to punish his servants, it is only a matter of a word. No matter how great the injustice is, these servants will swallow their anger or suffer blood.

Pei Shuo still felt sorry for his sister becoming a maid, but he also thought that with his sister's strong character, she would never give in easily. No matter what, he had to find his sister as soon as possible and rescue her.

Thinking of this, he asked Liu Tong to keep an eye on the situation on the boat, and he would take action only when Jiao Jiao got on board.

Liu Tong was happy to see him off, his heart full of hope.

On the other hand, Xu Yao began to teach martial arts to the guards in Danyang Marquis' Mansion.

Because of Hongzhu's incident, Qin trusted Xu Yao more and more, so she asked Mama Liu to talk to him about being a tutor, and offered a high price.

Xu Yao thought about it and did not agree, saying that he had important things to attend to and was afraid that he could not stay for long, but he was willing to teach the guards of Danyang Marquis' Mansion some kung fu.

Qin was prepared and did not feel disappointed. Instead, she expressed her gratitude and sent a bag of silver.

It’s a bit of money, just a few hundred taels.

Xu Yao knew that this included her gratitude for the last time he protected Mei Shuangwei.

Several maids around Mei Shuangwei were replaced. Qin personally taught her daughter and looked after her every day, for she was afraid that her daughter would go astray and have an extreme temperament.

But Xu Yao felt that this girl had a kind nature and would not become an extreme person as long as she was guided properly.

Some people are born kind, and some people are born vicious.

Xu Yao would not meddle in other people's affairs, nor would he be merciful to them.

In a place where no one else could see, Xu Yao secretly left the Danyang Marquis Mansion in the middle of the night. He not only secretly explored the layout of the Wang and Jia family's houses, but even spied on the imperial palace.
