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

Pei Shuo had only walked a dozen meters with the goods when he realized someone was following him.

He looked carefully and found that the man had heavy footsteps and rapid breathing, which meant he didn't have much kung fu. So why was he following him?

Pei Shuo turned several times, soon dropped his burden and disappeared.

Ah Ping followed him all the way, but suddenly lost the direction. He stood there scratching his head. This guy walked too fast. How could he disappear in the blink of an eye?

He was very depressed. He looked to the left and then to the right, then randomly chose a direction to chase.

This time it was Pei Shuo's turn to follow him. He followed him quietly all the way and found this. Probably because he couldn't find himself, he returned the same way and actually returned to Pingxi Marquis Mansion.

Are people from Pingxi Marquis’ Mansion following him?

Pei Shuo was slightly surprised. This boy looked like a servant of the Marquis of Pingxi's mansion. Why was he following him?

He thought about it and felt that it was very likely that someone saw him talking to his sister, so someone became suspicious.

Who would be suspicious of my sister? Is there someone following her?

Pei Shuo immediately became nervous when he thought that there might be someone from Yuan Qingzong behind this. After thinking it over, he hurried back, found Xu Yao, and told him about this.

"Master, you said that my sister's appearance in Beichen was also the work of Yuan Qingzong?"

Yuan Qingzong deliberately brought his elder sister into the Mansion of Marquis Pingxi, and the symbol used by Princess Yanghe was related to Yuan Qingzong.

If that's the case, would it bring trouble to Sister if they made contact rashly?

Or maybe, my sister is in danger now, and if they don’t rescue her in time, my sister will be in danger.

Pei Shuo had finally found his elder sister, and he didn't dare to take the risk of putting her in danger. He wanted to rescue her and protect her immediately.

Xu Yao told him to stay calm: "Your sister will be fine. If anything was going to happen, it would have happened a long time ago."

Pei Shuo tried to calm down and said sorry to her, "I was too nervous."

"I understand that you are worried and confused. How about this, let's go to the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion at night."

Xu Yao felt that it was not a good idea to continue investigating like this, so he decided to use the truth to pry open Princess Yanghe's mouth.

Pei Shuo was worried whether this was appropriate and whether it would disturb Princess Yanghe and be discovered by Emperor Yuan Qingzong.

"Don't worry, I know my limits. If it's unsafe, I will protect your sister first."

Pei Shuo was really worried and confused when he thought of his elder sister. He didn't know what to do. Xu Yao asked him to get ready. The master and the apprentice were going to visit the Pingxi Marquis's mansion at night.

Pei Yi took the needle and thread she bought and returned home. When she passed the garden, she ran into Liang Hongwen.

"Where have you been?"

He sat on the porch, his long legs draped idly on the bench beside the corridor.

Seeing Pei Yi, he asked casually.

Pei Yi felt a little nervous about the way he looked at her. This man was hard for her to figure out, and his tone of voice was intimate and ambiguous.

But he didn't do anything inappropriate, and Pei Yi was unsure what he wanted to do.

"Greetings, Master. I went to the street to buy some needles and thread."

There was no one around. If Pei Yi wanted to go back to Princess Yanghe's courtyard, he had to walk through this corridor. He definitely couldn't walk past Liang Hongwen, so he had to stand where he was and wait for him to make way.

Liang Hongwen was not prepared to give way. Instead, he looked at the silk thread in her hand and smiled: "The needlework room in your mansion doesn't even have silk thread? You still need to go out and buy these things yourself."

Pei Yi smiled nervously, "Of course, there are enough things in the sewing room, but I want to make a pair of shoes for myself, how dare I use the things prepared for the princess."

Liang Hongwen said, "Oh!" and stood up and walked closer to her: "I heard from Nanny Han that you are good at sewing. In that case, make me a pair of shoes too."

Pei Yi was surprised. She really didn't expect him to make such a request. She had made only a few shoes in her life. She could embroider flowers, but she was still a little short of skills in making clothes and shoes. So she said nervously: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, but I am not good at these. My craftsmanship is really not up to standard. If you want to make shoes, you might as well let the embroiderer in the needlework room do it for you."

Liang Hongwen refused to give in. Instead, he took two steps forward and said dangerously, "But I just want you to make a pair of shoes for me. I will judge whether they are good or not."

Pei Yi still wanted to refuse to make shoes for a strange man. Regardless of whether she was good at sewing or not, she just vaguely felt that it was a little dangerous.

She had thought a lot these days and learned from Guiyuan that the cousin liked this cousin very much.

As the only legitimate eldest son of the Pingxi Marquisate, Liang Hongwen has both status and good looks. It is said that he is also well educated and will take part in the imperial examination next year.

Such a person has a bright future and is an excellent candidate for husband for any son of aristocratic family.

Guiyuan whispered that maybe the cousin suddenly attacked her because of jealousy.

Pei Yi thought for a long time and only remembered that Prince Liang said two words to him after he came back from the academy.

He never gave her anything nor did he do anything ambiguous, so how could this cousin think that he was interested in her?

Pei Yi felt that this was an unprovoked disaster. However, after meeting several times, Pei Yi had a vague feeling that this person might have other intentions towards him.

She didn't want to think too much about it, worrying that she was being too sentimental, but Prince Liang's actions these past few times made her feel a little uneasy.

Could it be that, as Guiyuan said, he took a fancy to me?

Pei Yi felt humiliated when she thought that this man would choose her like a plaything, keep her by his side, force her to become his maid, or even his concubine, and then send her away when he got tired of her and got married.

Pei Yi had never paid attention to such things before, but now she had fallen into the status of a slave. The thought of being forced into becoming a plaything that could not be seen in public by such dirty means made her extremely unwilling.

Even if she was reduced to a slave, she would not break her spine and become a toy for men's entertainment.

So in her opinion, Liang Hongwen's behavior was just a playboy teasing the little maid in his family, and he did not treat her as a human being at all.

Thinking of this, Pei Yi raised her head, took two steps back, and said respectfully: "If the prince wants new shoes, please let the sewing room know. If the princess orders it, I will make it. But I am not good at it, so please forgive me."

After saying this, she walked away in a detour. Seeing her like this, Liang Hongwen suddenly laughed.

This girl was indeed different from the others. He became more and more curious about her origins.

Unfortunately, his men investigated for a long time but still could not find out her origins.

She was like a mystery, which aroused Liang Hongwen's curiosity and made him want to find out the truth about her.

The more I explore, the more excited I become.

Liang Hongwen himself couldn't explain why, but there seemed to be a power in Zi Yi that aroused his desire. He had never experienced this kind of heart-pounding feeling with any other woman.

The more excited you are, the more you want to get it.

But this girl's attitude doesn't show that she is someone who can be toyed with easily. She is not a vain woman.

If you want to win her over, sweet words won't work.

But Liang Hongwen is not worried. There is still a long time to come, and he will always find a way to make her fall in love.
