Shock! The maid in the Marquis's mansion gave birth to the eldest son of the prince

"Hey, young master, you are not also interested in this business, are you?" Qiu Niang said with a sweet smile, and her delicate hands were about to rest on Xiao Yuan's shoulders.

"Hey, hey, hey, talk nicely and don't touch me. Our young master is not someone you can think about!" Shuangqing angrily stopped Qiu Niang's hand.

"My dear boy, you are too unromantic. I just want to rub his shoulders to help him relax." Qiu Niang twisted her slender waist and said to Shuang Qing in a reproachful manner.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xiao Yuan's face darkened.

Qiu Niang has been in this business for many years and has seen all kinds of people. When she saw Xiao Yuan's expression, she knew that this young man was not to be trifled with. She quickly knelt down and saluted, saying respectfully: "Young Master, to be honest with you, what we need most in our business is girls who are obedient, sensible, and eager to learn. Those girls just now were all raised by me when they were young."

"Brought me up since I was a child?" Xiao Yuan's eyes were like knives, and he glanced at her coldly, "Did you remember it wrongly?"

He knew that Qiu Niang was a prostitute herself, and she would be at least 30 years old before she stopped receiving customers. She was only in her early 40s, so how could she have the time to raise these 17 or 18-year-old girls?

"Oh, sir, you really can't hide anything from me. These girls were raised by my sisters, but that doesn't mean I raised them." Qiu Niang said with an apologetic smile.

"Oh, you have a family business here!" Xiao Yuan gently waved his folding fan and said slowly, "I won't hide it from you. I want to find someone."

"Looking for someone?" Qiu Niang's face changed. Most of the girls they had were abducted. If they were found, they would be beaten to death. Could it be that this young man was looking for his relatives?

"Why are you so nervous? Just listen to me," Xiao Yuan said slowly, holding a folding fan, "I have been on the boat for the past few days, and I have dreamed of a young woman every night, crying and begging me to take her back. It's really weird."

"Ah, young master, is he possessed by an evil spirit? I heard that there are such ghosts on the water, which transform into beautiful women and haunt the men passing by." Qiu Niang was shocked and covered her mouth with a look of panic.

"It's strange, I thought so at first, but didn't care. Yesterday, the ship docked at Jiufeng Bay, and I went to Qingfeng Temple to visit the old Taoist priest and ask for a peace amulet. When I talked about this, he said that this girl and I had a predestined relationship in my previous life. If I can find her and take her into my house, she will definitely give birth to a child for me and pass on my family business." Xiao Yuan shook his head and said slowly, "Look at this matter... How can we, a decent family, take one in..."

"Hey, sir, how do you know she is in our line of business?" Madam Qiu asked puzzledly.

"In fact, I don't know her identity, but judging from her appearance and behavior, she seems to be a girl from a romantic place. She is said to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she has never known who her family is since she was a child. In the dream, she cried like a pear blossom in the rain, and was very sad. I only remember that there seemed to be a small plum blossom mole on her neck." Xiao Yuan frowned and said, "I can't remember the rest, but I know that she is very graceful and has a pair of lively almond eyes. Every time I enter the dream, I feel as if I am in the scene, as if it is real, which is really frightening."

Xiao Yuan thought that his mother often said that his sister looked like his father when she was a child, with a pair of big, twinkling eyes that were extremely cute.

"Almond eyes? Plum blossom mole?" Madam Qiu asked with her head tilted, as if she remembered something.

"Do you know him?" Xiao Yuan's eyes were like torches, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Could there really be such a coincidence? He just said it casually on the spur of the moment.

"No, no, no... I'm just asking casually." Madam Qiu instantly put away her confused look and said softly.

"How about this, if you can help me find this girl, these five hundred taels of silver will be yours." Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly and said, "The Taoist priest said that this girl was my destiny in my previous life, so my offspring can only rely on her."

"This... Sir, you are teasing me. There are so many people in this vast sea of ​​people, where can I find this girl?" Madam Qiu smiled softly, covering her lips with her hands, "Sir, don't be fooled by that old Taoist priest."

"Forget it, it's hard to say. You can go back. Shuangqing, give Miss Qiu another five taels of silver. Just treat it as a chance encounter and listening to my story. It's also fate." Xiao Yuan said loudly, "After all, this matter does sound a bit absurd."

"Sir, sir, you seem to be a real person. How about I keep an eye out for you? I meet a lot of people. Who knows, I might meet this girl by chance." Madam Qiu smiled happily after receiving the silver. She came close to Xiao Yuan and winked at him.

Xiao Yuan felt a headache from the strong scent on her body, so he had to slightly turn his body to avoid her. He said patiently, "Then it's settled. If Madam Qiu has any clues, just go to Jiangyin Tongxi Silk Shop and find the shopkeeper. He will contact me."

When those people finally got off the boat, Xiao Yuan stroked his chest gently, let out a long sigh, and felt a little more at ease.

It has been seven or eight days since he left Beijing, but he still has no clue, which makes him extremely anxious. If his sister is still alive, she is in the best years of her life, and she is afraid that she will end up in prostitution and be abused by men. Even if she returns to the Duke's Mansion, she will never be able to erase the past in this life.

Yong'an Marquis Mansion, in Zhuxiang Garden.

"My Lord, according to my deduction, the fugitive should be the eldest daughter. Old Zhang and the coachman both said that 'Hong'er' had a hoarse voice and kept hiding her head and face." Black Hawk reported in a low voice.

Pei Jin nodded, it was just as he expected.

"Has she left town?"

"So far, we have not found that the young lady has left the city."

"Very good, this matter needs to be handled secretly, and the people in the farm must not know the truth. Just assume that Aunt Liu and her daughter have burned themselves to death." Pei Jin said coldly, "You must capture her as soon as possible and don't let her escape from the capital. In addition, check carefully to see if there are any unclaimed bodies in the capital recently. I'm afraid she might have died a violent death."

"Yes." Black Hawk quietly took the order and left.

However, whether Pei Yun was alive or dead, there was no place for her in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Even though Pei Yun was a scheming woman, she certainly had not expected that she, a girl from an aristocratic family, would be wandering alone on the streets without a nanny or maid. If the news got out, her reputation would be ruined, and even if Pei Yunshan came, he would not allow her to enter the mansion.

Three days later, Black Hawk and others found a woman of similar age to Pei Yun in the bridge tunnel. She had been humiliated before her death. Her eyes were wide open, the nails on her hands were all broken, and all her belongings were looted.

Due to the hot weather, the victim's skin had mostly rotted away, and she had been torn apart by wild dogs, making her body difficult to identify. Only through the large red rashes on her body and the headscarf that Hong'er had used scattered beside her could we roughly infer that the victim was Pei Yun.

Pei Jin knew that Pei Yun was cunning and was afraid that he had made a wrong judgment. He ordered people to continue searching, but at the same time, fearing that his mother would worry, he only said that he had found Pei Yun dead and buried her together with the bodies of Liu Wan'er and Hong'er.

When Pei Qian learned that his biological mother and sister had committed suicide by burning themselves, he cried bitterly.

As for Pei Yunshan, Madam Wang had sent someone to deliver a message long before Liu Wan'er and her daughter were to be sent to the farm. However, because he said he was going to Jiangnan, the people sent by Madam Wang could not find him, so they had no choice but to let him return home.

Pei Jin knew that he was coming back soon, and the secret guard sent a pigeon to tell him that he had left Qingcheng Mountain. Pei Jin estimated that he should be able to reach Beijing in seven or eight days.

"Shenzhi, if your father comes back, this mansion will be in unrest again." Mrs. Wang said with a frown.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about this." Pei Jin said coldly with a leisurely look, "If he dares to cause trouble, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between father and son."

"Shenzhi, you absolutely cannot do that. After all, he is your biological father!" Mrs. Wang said in horror.
