I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Pei Sheng stood there in a daze for a while before he came to his senses. After he came to his senses, he rushed to the window and looked around but could not find any trace of Mu Zhu.

Thinking back to what Mu Zhu had just said, Pei Sheng felt a sense of doubt and fear.

The man didn't do anything extreme to him just now. Could it be that he came here specifically to tell him that Pei Yu had a problem? Who sent him? Why would he help him like this? Can this man's words be trusted?

A series of questions surged in Pei Sheng's mind. For some reason, he subconsciously thought of Wen Shutang's face, because in the past few days, only Wen Shutang had advised him to be wary of Pei Yu. Apart from him, he could not think of anyone else.

But Wen Shutang is just a village woman. Would she have servants with such high martial arts skills?

Pei Sheng thought of Xiao Yizhuo's face that said "no strangers allowed" and suddenly felt a little uncertain.

Are they really just simple villagers?

Pei Sheng suppressed his doubts and began to carefully recall Mu Zhu's expression when he spoke just now.

The man was dressed in black and spoke in a hurried tone, which did not sound like he was lying. Moreover, the man had just touched his throat, and even if he wanted to do something, it would take him a moment to die, but the man did not do so, but instead just told him to be careful of Pei Yu.

Although Pei Sheng began to doubt Mu Zhu's words, he also had to be more suspicious of Pei Yu.

The man just now seemed to have asked him to check Pei Yu's whereabouts. He said Pei Yu was in Qingshui Town?

That's unlikely. He saw Pei Yu last night. How could he have gone to Qingshui Town overnight?

Although he thought so, Pei Sheng showed a hesitant look on his face.

He turned around, opened the door and walked out, going straight to the door of Pei Yu's room. He found that there was no candle in the room, and it was pitch black.

Pei Sheng's heart skipped a beat. Was Pei Yu asleep or not in the room?

He found the housekeeper of Pei Mansion and asked, "Where is Ayu?"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and responded, "It is said that there is a problem with the business in the capital. The second young master has gone to the capital overnight. It will probably take several days for him to deal with it and come back. What's wrong, young master?"

Pei Sheng frowned subconsciously when he heard this. With his father being seriously ill and not having much time left, how important would it be for him to leave home?

For some reason, Pei Sheng suddenly stopped believing what the housekeeper said, and always felt that something was not right.

"It's okay. I just wanted to talk to him suddenly. It's okay if he's not here."

He waved his hand, turned around and went back to his room, lying on the bed tossing and turning thinking about Mu Zhu's words.

Feeling increasingly uneasy, Pei Sheng turned over and found his closest subordinate and ordered, "You should set off for Qingshui Town now. Remember not to make any noise. Check secretly whether the Second Young Master is in Qingshui Town. Once confirmed, come back and report immediately."

"Yes, Master."

The subordinate kneeling on the ground lowered his head and responded, then turned around and disappeared on the spot.

Pei Sheng was the only one left in the room. He fell on the bed and closed his eyes tiredly.

Pei Yu, ah Pei Yu, you'd better not let your brother be completely disappointed in you.

Mu Zhu hid around Pei's mansion and observed. He found a shadow in black night clothes flashed out from the mansion and ran towards Qingshui Town. He immediately understood what was going on.

It seems that Pei Sheng has sent people to check Pei Yu's whereabouts, so he should have completed the mission.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhu looked up at the huge Pei Mansion, then turned around and followed the black shadow, returning to Qingshui Town with him.

The confidant arrived at Qingshui Town at dawn. He did not dare to stop for a moment and started searching one inn after another.

Mu Zhu was observing his movements in secret and couldn't help but secretly complain that the Pei family's secret guards were no good. How could they find someone like this? It would be too easy to be discovered.

He couldn't bear it any longer, so he changed his clothes and dressed up as a peddler and pretended to bump into the confidant casually, muttering something.

"Young man, are you looking for a place to stay? Then go to the Lai Fu Inn in town. It's clean and inexpensive. Some merchants usually go there to discuss business."

The confidant was very unhappy about being hit. He frowned and was about to say something, but when he heard Mu Zhu's words, an idea flashed through his head and he immediately turned a corner and headed straight for Lai Fu Inn.

Mu Zhu looked at his back and raised the corners of his lips with pride. Even if he searched house by house like this, he would never be able to find Pei Yu's whereabouts. He had to take action.

When the confidant arrived at Lai Fu Inn, he walked straight to the counter and started asking about Pei Yu without any hesitation.

The shopkeeper standing at the counter didn't want to reveal the customer's information, but the confidant gave him too much silver, so he couldn't help but tell him the news that Pei Yu was living here.

After successfully obtaining Pei Yu's whereabouts, the confidant nodded, took out a small cloth bag from his waist and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Don't tell anyone that I was here."

When the shopkeeper saw the heavy bag of money, his eyes lit up and he nodded: "Okay, okay, I will never tell anyone."

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, the confidant turned around and walked outside. He had to tell Pei Sheng about this matter as soon as possible.

Mu Zhu had been following his confidant in secret, and only felt completely relieved when he saw him leave Qingshui Town and head towards Baiping Town.

This should be fine, and he can go back and report to the young master.

Muzhu hummed a little tune and turned to head towards Da'an Village.

The confidant returned to Baiping Town and went straight to Pei Sheng's room: "Master."

Hearing the familiar voice, Pei Sheng walked to the door and opened it, then let the person in and closed the door.

"How's it going? Did you find it?"

"I've checked. The second young master is indeed in Qingshui Town. He's staying at Lai Fu Inn. The owner there said that the second young master paid a lot of money and he will probably stay there for a long time." The confidant knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

Pei Sheng's heart sank when he heard this. Was Pei Yu really in Qingshui Town? Was the housekeeper's claim that he went to the capital really a lie? Why did Pei Yu spread false news? Could it be that what the man in black said last night was true? Did Pei Yu really want to kill him?

Pei Sheng frowned, feeling indescribably depressed. In fact, he had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to think about it that way.

Pei Yu spread false news, making everyone think that he went to the capital. When something happened to his elder brother in the future, no one would think that it was Pei Yu who did it.

Pei Sheng closed his eyes, then exhaled deeply. When he opened his eyes again, he had calmed down. He said calmly, "Okay, don't tell anyone about this. Just tell the public that I'm going to Qingshui Town again tomorrow."

Although the confidant didn't know why he had to do this, he still nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, Master."
