Mrs. Pei didn't care. She was optimistic about her nephew and was determined to arrange a marriage for him, but before that, she had to pull Pei Yi out of the whirlpool.

When Xun Yangzi appeared, she had already sent someone to invite him. However, just as she had arranged the candidate, Gu Tai was recruited by the Palace Front Department to serve in another place.

"Out of so many people, why did they choose him? Could it be that the higher-ups knew something?" Mrs. Pei was anxious. The talent show was approaching, and Pei Yishi could no longer pretend to be sick.

The Duke of Zhenguo shook his head: "No, this is an emergency. Someone from the Chen Kingdom's envoys died, and now we are waiting for the results of the investigation. Gu Tai knows the language of Chen Kingdom and has dealt with them before. He is the most suitable person for the Ministry of War to send someone."

Mrs. Pei was anxious: "Who else can go find Xun Yangzi?"

"I'll go, mother." Pei Shuo had been eavesdropping outside the door for who knows how long. Now he volunteered. Mrs. Pei instinctively refused.

"No, you're not suitable."

"Mother, I am the most suitable person to go. Have you forgotten that when I was a child, Xun Yangzi wanted to take me in as his disciple, saying that I had a destiny with Taoism. If I go, he will definitely be happy and willing to come back with me."

Madam Pei glared at him and said, "That's why I can't let you go. He...you are the only son in the Pei family. If I let you become a monk with him, who will inherit the Pei family?"

Mrs. Pei was so afraid that her son would be abducted that she cultivated her character, cut off all emotional attachments, and then left home to become a nun.

Seeing her like this, Pei Shuo said rather shamelessly: "Then mother, just watch your sister marry into the royal family. Our family will be in a dilemma."

"You!" Madam Pei pulled his ear angrily, "What's the matter? You've been a city patrol guard for a few days and caught a few petty thieves, but you don't know your place and are here to threaten your mother?"

"Father, help me!" Pei Shuo begged the Duke of Zhenguo, but the Duke of Zhenguo ignored him and sat in his seat drinking tea leisurely.

He doesn't even dare to make the lady angry. Where does this kid get the courage from? Isn't he afraid of being crushed by his mother?

Madam Pei hit her son hard a few times before saying, "There is no room for negotiation on this matter. If Gu Tai can't do it, then Ma Xin will go. Even if you have to tie him up, you have to bring him back to me."

The Duke of Zhenguo poured her a cup of tea, fearing that the lady would be thirsty. "Madam, calm down. How about this, let Shuoer go with Ma Xin. I'll add a few more guards to ensure Shuoer's safe return."

Mrs. Pei was about to get angry, but suddenly she thought of something. She looked at her son for a while and said angrily, "You can go, but don't let that old ghost trick you and become a monk with him."

Pei Shuo was happy and left quickly.

After everyone left, Mrs. Pei was puzzled: "What did you mean by winking at me just now?"

Duke Zhenguo: "Madam, you must have seen it wrong. I never winked at you. My eyelids were just twitching."

Mrs. Pei...

After a while, Mrs. Pei's roar and the Duke of Zhenguo's plea for mercy were heard from the room.

"Gently, ma'am, spare my life."

When Pei Shuo heard the shouting, he couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, his Yanyan was a gentle person. He didn't know how his father could endure his mother's cruelty.

The weather was nice today. Zhang was watching the maids taking out the quilts in the house to dry in the sun while she led Mother Qin to take a walk in the garden.

Who knew that after only a few steps, Madam Zhang came running over in a hurry. "Sister, something happened."

She was in tears, her hair was in disarray. Hui Niang ran after her, holding one of Zhang Er Niang's shoes in her hand.

This is the shoes that have run away.

"Calm down, why are you so flustered? What happened?"

"Sister, my husband is missing near Tengjiao Mountain. Do you think it was that gang..."

Zhang quickly covered her mouth and glanced at Madam Qin. Madam Qin immediately took people to make arrangements and scolded the maids and servants who saw Madam Zhang's panic, telling them to keep their mouths shut. If any rumor got out, they would never be let off.

Xu Yao had nothing to do these days. She found that Zhang only prevented her from leaving the courtyard, and did not treat her harshly in other ways. Xu Yao took advantage of these days to try to talk to the other soul in her body.

She followed the man's example and left a letter beside the bed, hoping that he would reply after seeing it. But for several nights, she received no reply.

Xu Yao tried to figure out the pattern of the original owner's appearance. He suspected that he was stimulated by something and came out to snatch the body.

what is it then?

The first time was because he was provoked by Guan Jin’s words, and the second time was because he wanted to run away.

She hesitated whether to try these two methods to get the other party out, so Mother Qin asked someone to find her.

When Xu Yao arrived at Zhang's yard and heard what Zhang said, he felt that he should not have come back.

The boss is like this. If you do something well, he will ask you to do more and more difficult things, challenging your limits again and again.

What do you call this? As long as you can endure hardship, there will be endless hardship to endure.

Damn it. If it weren't for the original owner in her body, she would have run away long ago.

Not only did they ask her to follow the guards to look for someone, they also expected her to find the thief and rescue Han Feng.

I really want to curse!

She suppressed her annoyance and continued to pretend to be dumb: "But, I am just a little stronger, I don't know Kung Fu, I can't beat those bandits."

Zhang: "You are a modest child. You can see the appearance of Panshan Dragon, so you are not incompetent. I believe you will not let me down, right?"

Xu Yao wanted her to settle the account for her work last time first. Just kidding, he went through so much trouble to get the news last time, but he hasn't given her the reward she deserves, and now he wants her to jump into trouble again.

Zhang seemed to understand her thoughts and handed her a box, which was heavy with cash. "You did a good job last time. I don't need you to take risks this time. There is only one thing: you have to help the captain of the guards and bring Master Han back safely."

"What if he's already dead?" Xu Yao asked with a deliberately innocent look.

Zhang was blocked for a moment and coughed lightly. "No, Mr. Han should not be in danger of death for the time being."

Xu Yao was unwilling to guarantee this: "Madam, I have seen those bandits, they are all guys who kill without blinking an eye. If the master is really kidnapped by bandits, I am afraid that even if we give them money, they will kill him. I am afraid that if something happens, I am just a fire-making girl, the worst that can happen is that I will lose my life. I am afraid that even if I risk my life, I will not be able to bring the person back safely."

In a word, it doesn't save your life.

What a joke! She couldn't guarantee whether those people were perverts or whether they would torture and kill Han Feng. She couldn't guarantee anything.

Zhang's chest was choked with anger, she was neither up nor down. She forced herself to calm down, this fire-making girl just didn't know how to tact, she was still somewhat capable, she still had to rely on her to find her brother-in-law, even if there was really a problem, she would deal with it when the time came.

So she said, "I have found your godmother a lighter job, and I have also sent your goddaughter to the embroidery room to learn embroidery. When you return safely, I will definitely treat you well, and I will definitely give your godmother a position as a housekeeper."

Xu Yao thought about it and said, "Madam, if I go and never come back, please take care of my godmother and daughter."

This time I will definitely succeed in escaping!
