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

Pei Shuo knew what Xu Yao was wondering about. Normally, how many legitimate mothers would truly love illegitimate sons and daughters, be able to maintain their reputation, raise them safely, educate them well, and not hinder them from getting married or taking the imperial examinations? This is already the virtue of a legitimate mother.

Madam Liu is not like that. She is even willing to conflict with her husband for the sake of her concubine's daughter. This is rare in the world.

Pei Shuo: "I also had doubts about this matter, but after checking, I found that Madam Liu really loved this concubine's daughter. She raised her like a legitimate daughter. She really loved her. There was no trace of flattery. She was truly heartbroken when her daughter died."

Some people suspected that Mrs. Liu loved her daughter so much because she felt guilty for murdering Liu Qingwan's mother.

Pei Shuo also checked carefully and found that Minister Liu's concubine was robbed by Liu.

He liked Aunt Huang, but Aunt Huang didn't like him. It was just that Aunt Huang's family was poor, and her father sold his daughter for fame and fortune, so he forced Aunt Huang to marry into the Liu family.

Aunt Huang had a beloved man when she was alive, but after being separated by her father, she was trapped in the backyard, unhappy every day. Not long after giving birth to a daughter, she fell ill and occasionally acted crazy.

But Minister Liu refused to believe it and thought that it was his own wife who murdered Aunt Huang. He scolded her several times, which made Madam Liu very unhappy and she almost wanted to divorce.

Later, Aunt Huang went mad and hanged herself. Then the rumor spread that it was Madam Liu who murdered her. Madam Liu almost committed suicide to prove her innocence.

It was the maid who served Aunt Huang who testified that Aunt Huang had another beloved person outside. Before she died, she met her lover and talked about something with him. After she came back, she was so disheartened that she hanged herself.

When Minister Liu heard this, he was filled with resentment and refused to care about Aunt Huang's affairs anymore. In the end, Aunt Huang's funeral was handled by Madam Liu.

After her death, Liu Qingwan was taken in by Madam Liu to be raised by her.

After she raised Liu Qingwan, she gave birth to children one after another, so her love for Liu Qingwan might be because she thought she was blessed.

Xu Yao thought about it and felt that this made sense, but for a concubine's daughter, his hair turned white overnight. This was no ordinary emotion.

Perhaps Madam Liu is truly a person with a big heart and loves this concubine's daughter very much.

Pei Shuo glanced at her and didn't say anything. He just said that it was getting late and asked his master to go to bed early. After dinner, he also wanted to go to bed.

Xu Yao nodded. She was dirty after running around for days, so she planned to take a shower and have a good rest.

The kitchen boiled water, and the servants quickly brought clean hot water. Xu Yao took a nice bath, washing his whole body, and then lay comfortably on the bed.

Not long after she lay down, she heard Pei Shuo going out. She couldn't help but be curious, so she pricked up her ears and listened, and she actually heard him order the carriage to go to Red Light Lane.

Xu Yao was stunned for a moment. He hadn't seen this kid for a few years, and he had acquired this kind of problem?

Xu Yao couldn't help but turn over. He really... really didn't know what to say.

If I want to intervene, I am neither his mother nor his wife, so it is difficult to bring up this matter.

If she didn't care, Xu Yao would think that this young man had so many good things to learn that he would hang out in places with red lights, which really made her speechless.

As she was thinking, she fell asleep because she was so tired.

When he woke up the next day, Pei Shuo was wearing a thin shirt and practicing sword in the yard in high spirits.

Xu Yao looked at his swordsmanship and found that it was indeed much better than before.

Xu Yao became interested, picked up the sword beside him, flew over quickly, and attacked him from behind.

Pei Shuo immediately fought back, and the two of them started fighting with swords in the yard.

When Xu Sheng heard the sound of ice blades colliding next door, he was a little curious, so he quietly climbed up the wall to watch the fun, and saw the master and disciple fighting back and forth.

Seeing their moves, Xu Sheng's eyes lit up, full of greed and envy.

If he could learn this Kung Fu, he wouldn't be invincible, but at least not everyone could bully him.

Just as he was thinking this, a stone flew towards him, and he was so scared that he fell off the wall with a scream.

At the same time, Pei Shuo's sword was already on Xu Yao's neck.

Xu Yao panted slightly and smiled: "You have indeed made rapid progress. In the past five years, not only have your skills not fallen behind, but they are also much stronger than your master."

Pei Shuo retracted his sword, "Thanks to the secret book given by Master, but Master didn't use his full strength just now, right?"

Xu Yao: "Why didn't you try your best? I have been recuperating for the past five years and have not practiced Kung Fu at all, so naturally I have not made any progress. But you, even if you were to face Wu Sanlang now, I'm afraid you would be able to handle it with ease."

What she said was not an exaggeration. It was difficult for her to deal with Wu Sanlang back then. Now she was confident that she could easily defeat Wu Sanlang if she fought him again without using any conspiracy or tricks.

Pei Shuo's progress shocked Xu Yao.

This guy is indeed a martial arts genius. In just five years, he could easily defeat hundreds of moves at my hands.

This is not something that can be mastered in a day, and his moves contain a lot of practical experience, which I have never taught him.

Xu Yao was happy about his progress and strength, and was not worried at all about him going to the capital to seek revenge and kill the emperor of the Great Zhou.

Unless he is the best master in the world, Pei Shuo will definitely return safely.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao couldn't help but feel curious again.

Everyone says that the best fighter in the world is the guard named Wuming, the second is Wu Sanlang, and the third is the Immortal of the South Sea.

But she had seen the Nanhai Xianweng's kung fu, which was unpredictable. Although Wu Sanlang was fierce and vicious, he might not be a match for Nanhai Xianweng.

So Xu Yao had some doubts about this ranking.

Maybe the real number one in the world is the Immortal of the South Sea?

Xu Yao couldn't help but ask Pei Shuo if he had ever seen Wuming, the world's number one master.

Pei Shuo paused and smiled, "I have never been to the Dingnan Palace, and I have never seen this person. However, this person is the most trusted guard of Emperor Dingnan, and ordinary people are not allowed to meet him."

Xu Yao thought that the world was in chaos now and the Emperor of Dingnan might not live long. He didn't know whether the nameless guard could protect him for the rest of his life.

As he was talking, Xu Yao saw a red mark on Pei Shuo's neck and immediately thought of him going to Red Light Lane last night. After thinking it over, Xu Yao felt that as a master, he should still give his apprentice a hint.

"A Shuo, Master knows that you have grown up and have some normal needs, but if you have these needs, you should find a girl to marry properly, and don't go to those places."

Pei Shuo was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Master, what are you thinking about? Have you forgotten that you once took me to the fireworks land to get information?"

Xu Yao couldn't help but recall the first time he took Pei Shuo to a brothel, when he was surrounded by a bunch of women and teased, his face reddening to his ears.

She smiled awkwardly, which made her seem hypocritical.

"You just went there to get information, didn't you do anything else? Didn't the girls there pester you?"

Pei Shuo didn't blush and feel embarrassed like before, but smiled: "Master, I'm not a child anymore."
