Nanny Wang helped Xu Yao wash up. Xu Yao felt that the makeup that Lu Luo had put on him was a little too gaudy, so he asked her to make her makeup lighter and more simple. Since she was not going out, there was really no need to be too gaudy.

Nanny Wang thought it was a good idea. "Just dress like this. Madam, you are still young, you should dress beautifully every day. This way, when the master sees you, he will like you more. Madam can also give birth to a child for the master sooner, which will consolidate your position."

Nanny Wang was really doing this for her own good. She and the master got married at a young age, but they still had no children. No matter how loving the couple was, it was not a big deal if they didn't have children.

According to traditional concepts, having children is necessary for marriage, as having children can make the relationship between husband and wife more stable.

Even if the master has someone else outside in the future, won’t his wife and children still be the first priority in his heart?

When Xu Yao heard her say this, he felt sad.

I wanted to argue a little, but then I thought better of it.

Nanny Wang really had no ill intentions and was truly considering her, but Nanny Wang knew nothing about the situation in her own family.

Xu Yao sighed and sat down to eat.

Nanny Wang hesitated to speak, suggesting that Xu Yao should pay more attention to Pei Shuo.

Xu Yao saw that she seemed to be hiding something, so he put down his chopsticks and asked, "Mammy, if you have something to say, just say it directly. I really don't understand what you are trying to say, since you are hiding it from me."

When Nanny Wang heard Xu Yao ask this, she thought about it and glanced at Luluo and the other maids.

The maids understood immediately and left one after another. When only Nanny Wang and Xu Yao were left in the room, Nanny Wang said cautiously, "Madam, the master always smells of powder when he comes back these few days. I think he went to the brothels."

When Xu Yao heard this, he immediately understood what she meant.

This was because she was worried that Pei Shuo would go to brothels and look for prostitutes, and might bring back an unclean woman, which would affect her status as a lady.

Xu Yao was a little amused and confused. What was going on?

She comforted Nanny Wang: "It's not what you think. The master went there just to have fun and discuss business. He would not bring any women from outside in."

Wang Ma Ma didn't believe it. "The young lady of the family where I worked before also thought so. She thought that she and her husband loved each other, and that her husband was just having affairs outside and socializing in the business world, and he would never bring other women home. As a result, within a few months, the master became obsessed with the woman outside and spent a fortune to redeem the brothel girl and bring her back home. Not only did he flatter the brothel girl, but he also slapped the lady's face.

I used to think that prostitutes were pitiful women who were forced to sell their bodies to do this business. But after meeting them, I realized that some women are born to be cheap. If you sympathize with them, they will take advantage of you.

Not only did he beat his wife, but his wife's child also miscarried. As a result, the master not only ignored his wife, but also thought that she was unreasonable and hurt his beloved concubine, and he spoke ill of her. "

Nanny Wang sighed, saying that no one knew what was wrong with Mr. Lin, he was like a possessed man, for the sake of a prostitute, he ignored his original wife, and in the end, he even angered his original wife to death.

But he still didn't know he was wrong and thought that it was all caused by his wife's jealousy. Every man has three wives and four concubines.

In the end, he actually promoted the prostitute and made her his legal wife.

This is the behavior of a merchant family who does not know the rules. If they were an official family, how could they do such a stupid thing?

While speaking, she looked at Xu Yao and said quickly, "That's not what I meant. Not all merchants are like this. I just thought that if Madam Lin had a son, Grandpa Lin would not have ignored his wife's life or death. Madam, it's better for you to make a decision early and get pregnant."

After all, the master is rich and handsome, and at a young age, if he goes to a brothel, he will naturally be more popular with women.

Even though there are a few pitiful women in brothels, there are more shameless and vicious ones. They are highly skilled and know that they cannot stay in brothels for long. All of them want to find a good man to redeem themselves and live a good life away from such places.

It would be a great thing to have an outstanding man like Pei Shuo as my husband.

With such a piece of fat meat in front of you, who wouldn’t be tempted?

After listening to this, Xu Yao sighed, saying that Nanny Wang really thinks long-term.

But what Xu Yao thought was that Pei Shuo was completely different from those people.

There was no way anything could happen between her and Pei Shuo, she wanted to run away right now.

But now that Pei Shuo didn't reveal his thoughts, he could continue to play dumb.

Now that the window paper has been broken, she really doesn't know how to face it.

But when Nanny Wang mentioned that Pei Shuo always smelled of powder, Xu Yao was slightly surprised.

The last time he went to Fireworks Lane, he said he was looking for information. Has he been going to Fireworks Lane to look for information recently?

Xu Yao inexplicably wondered if Pei Shuo had picked up some bad habits.

Out of concern for his master, Xu Yao followed secretly.

One day, after Pei Shuo went out, Xu Yao pretended to rest in the house, but actually followed him under the cover of darkness, and found that he went to Mingqian Tower.

Xu Yao looked at the sign of Mingqianlou for a long time without saying anything.

Five years have passed, and Mingqian Building is still the same building, still as bustling as ever, but I wonder if the owner of the building is still the same.

Xu Yao disguised herself and entered the building under the cover of night, and no one noticed her presence.

She quickly found where Pei Shuo was staying, and to her surprise, the former Third Master Ma was no longer there, and the owner of the building had changed. Pei Shuo walked into the building in a familiar manner, and went to the place where Third Master Ma had stayed before. He then asked about the accounts of the building like the new owner of the building.

What frightened Xu Yao even more was that she seemed to have seen someone from Yuan Qingzong.

That man was Yuan Qingzong's assassin. He had seen him when he entered the palace to deal with Wu Sanlang.

The reason why it is so impressive is because of the red birthmark on his neck, which is really unforgettable.

Of course, there was another reason why Xu Yao did not kill him: this man ran fast enough.

Now that he was here and next to Pei Shuo, Xu Yao felt uneasy. The words of Nanhai Xianweng appeared in her mind again, "Do you really think that person is the disciple you once knew?"

Xu Yao felt extremely frightened. Could it be that Pei Shuo was hooking up with Yuan Qingzong's people?

Xu Yao frowned slightly, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind, each of which was not good, but she suppressed her uneasiness and curiosity and quietly retreated.

She didn't rush to question Pei Shuo because she needed time to digest these things.

She realized that Pei Shuo might have experienced things that she could hardly imagine in the past few years.

Able to deal with Yuan Qingzong's people and order them around.

The most likely possibility is either that they are cooperating or that he has control over Yuan Qingzong.

It took Queen Mother Wang a lot of effort to master a strange sect like Yuan Qingzhong. How did Pei Shuo master it?

Xu Yao didn't dare to think about it, and even speculated, could it be that Pei Shuo was cooperating with Queen Mother Wang, so the talents of Yuan Qingzong obeyed him?

But then he thought about it and found it unlikely. The Queen Mother was the one who had captured his father and almost caused the tragic death of his father and elder sister. How could Pei Shuo cooperate with such a person?
