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

Pei Shuo apologized to Xu Yao and said that it was all his fault. "Master, please bear with it for a while."

Xu Yao waved his hand and said, "Children of Jianghu are not particular about trivial matters. This is nothing. Since it is just a play, I will play it with you to the end. What are you going to do next? Go directly into the palace and kill the dog emperor?"

Pei Shuo said there was no rush as there were still some things that had not been dealt with properly, so he asked Xu Yao to wait patiently for it to be over.

Xu Yao nodded, guessing that he must have made a lot of arrangements over the years, otherwise he would not dare to bring people into the capital so blatantly without being questioned.

Xu Yao did not delve into the matter further, but she never imagined that Pei Shuo, in order to play the whole role, actually sent her a lot of jewelry.

Xu Yao looked at the full box of jewelry and the boxes of clothes and thought that he was a little outrageous.

"Why do you make so many things? It's not a waste of money."

Although she quite likes it.

Although Xu Yao had stayed in the mountains for too long and didn't know how valuable these things were, he knew by just touching the texture and color that they were not something ordinary people could afford.

"We are wealthy merchants in the south, engaged in the silk business, and we have all kinds of fine fabrics at home. As the wife of a merchant, if you don't wear something bright and beautiful, others will think that our family is not good and can't do business."

Xu Yao thought what he said made sense. If a merchant's wife did not wear gold and silver jewelry, others would not think she was frugal. Instead, they would think that the family's business was in trouble because his wife could not even afford jewelry.

A woman's gorgeous clothes are also a reflection of her family's appearance.

Since you are here to do business, you will inevitably interact with some familiar merchants.

She really couldn't dress shabbily anymore.

Xu Yao thought about it and agreed to change into these exquisite jewelry and long dresses, but the clothes were comfortable to wear but the hair was not easy to comb.

Xu Yao has been living in the mountains for many years, and she always wears her hair in a bun. Even when she was a maid in the Liu family, she only wore her hair in a very simple bun.

She really doesn't know how to do any other complicated hairstyles.

Fortunately, Pei Shuo had been prepared and arranged for a personal maid and a nanny to serve her the next day.

The nanny's surname was Wang, and Xu Yao called her nanny. The maids who served her were also trained and knew how to act.

They are called Green Radish, Yellow Branch, Qionglin and Wanyue respectively.

The name is quite poetic. Wanyue is best at combing hair and dressing up. Xu Yao watched her skillfully move and quickly made an exquisite bun on her hair, matched it with a set of gold jewelry, and put on makeup for her. After the whole process, Xu Yao felt that she was radiant and beautiful.

Nanny Wang couldn't help but praise her from the side: "Madam, dressed like a fairy from heaven, if the master sees this, he will probably be unable to take his eyes off it."

Xu Yao felt that this compliment was somewhat flattering, as she was still aware of her own appearance.

Although she is quite pretty, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that she is a beauty from heaven.

But this does not prevent her from enjoying other people's flattery. Which woman doesn't like to be praised for her beauty?

She smiled and nodded, and gave the maids and servants some change. The maids and servants became even sweeter and helped Xu Yao out of the room.

Pei Shuo was waiting in the yard. When he heard the noise, he turned around and saw a woman in luxurious clothes with pearls and jade on her hair. He was so stunned that he was speechless.

It was Nanny Wang who joined in the fun, saying that the master really couldn't leave his eyes alone, and that's how the lady should dress.

Xu Yao smiled awkwardly and took two steps forward to Pei Shuo. "Where did you find these talented people? They are really good at talking. I was a little carried away by their praise."

Pei Shuo walked out with Xu Yao's hand in hand with a smile in his eyes.

"They are all trained by Zhuang Mu and sent here specially. You can use them with confidence. They are very safe."

After hearing what he said, Xu Yao felt relieved.

But I'm a little curious as to why he asked her to dress up so early this morning. Where are he taking her?

"Go out and burn incense."

Xu Yao: "Why did you think of burning incense?"

Halfway through the conversation, Xu Yao suddenly realized that Pei Shuo was going to take her to burn incense for Madam Pei.

She remembered that today was Mrs. Pei's death anniversary, and she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. "Isn't this inappropriate? Since it's your mother's death anniversary, I should dress more simply. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to go there in fancy clothes?"

Pei Shuo smiled and shook his head, saying no. "My mother likes to see girls wearing bright and beautiful clothes. When my elder sister was alive, my mother always told her that as a person, you must live a decent and beautiful life at all times. Even if you fall to the bottom, you must deal with it calmly. This is the pride of the noble family."

When Xu Yao heard him say this, she seemed to be lost in thought. Mrs. Pei's thoughts were different from hers.

He added: "Today I am not only going to burn incense, but I also have some things to discuss. I may meet a few merchants, and they will also bring their female relatives, so I will trouble Master to help me deal with them when the time comes."

Xu Yao thought for a moment: "What should I do so as not to lose your dignity?"

"Master, you can do whatever you want. If they offend you and make you unhappy, you can fight back. After all, we are just acting to have fun, not to please anyone."

Xu Yao thought, this drama should be performed as it is a critical moment and Pei Shuo still needs to use this identity to kill the Dog Emperor, so Pei Shuo's plan cannot be disrupted.

When he arrived at the Taoist temple, Xu Yao was surprised. Isn't this Tai'an Temple?

Is this Taoist temple still open now?

It was here that the third prince pretended to be assassinated and plotted against the Pei and Liu families.

But she didn't expect Pei Shuo to bring her to this place.

Pei Shuo saw through her thoughts and explained with a smile: "The Taoist temple is the Taoist temple, and the Third Prince is the Third Prince. I can't be angry with the entire Taoist temple just because the Third Prince plotted against me here. Besides, this place is indeed a good place for Feng Shui. I will place my mother's spirit tablet here so that she can be worshipped by thousands of people and have peace of mind."

When Xu Yao heard him say this, he knew what was on his mind.

Mrs. Pei died tragically. In the eyes of the ancients, such a person would probably require a lot of sutras to be recited and a lot of incense to be offered in order to help her eliminate her evil spirit and reincarnate.

But Xu Yao was a little puzzled. The Pei family ended up having their property confiscated and exiled. How could Mrs. Pei, with her identity, be settled here safely?

It was not until they reached the mountain that Xu Yao understood what was going on, because what Pei Shuo worshipped was not Mrs. Pei's full name, but only the words "Pei's female relatives."

Xu Yao was stunned, and immediately felt the suppressed anger and resentment in Pei Shuo's heart.

His mother died, and he could not even offer sacrifices to her openly. He could only use such vague words to replace his mother's name.

Only when he gets revenge and washes away the injustice one day, can he clear his mother's name and enjoy the family's incense and offerings with dignity. Xu Yao couldn't help but feel sorry for his apprentice. In the past few years, he must have suffered a lot to get to where he is today and return to the capital.
