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

"We are from the capital and are old friends of Madam Li's husband's family." Xuan Bai interrupted as he saw his master's face becoming increasingly grim.

"So that's how it is." Shopkeeper Zhang nodded and thought to himself, could it be that this young man from a noble family is related to Madam Li's deceased husband, otherwise why would his face be so similar to that of the young lady?

"Is the Lin family the Yue family of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?" Pei Jin asked in a low voice.

"Young master is right. The Lin family is the in-laws of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. The Tongxi Silk Shop was originally the dowry shop of Mrs. Lin, the wife of the Duke." Shopkeeper Zhang wiped his sweat and said. He was busy in the shop early in the morning and didn't expect something to happen here.

"Oh, that makes sense." Pei Jin smiled. He didn't want those people to know the truth. "Then let's go to Tongxi Silk Shop to meet Madam Li."

After saying that, he exchanged glances with Xuanbai and led him to the entrance of the alley.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, do you find this young man looks familiar?" After everyone left, Nanny Wang pulled Shopkeeper Zhang over and couldn't help asking.

"Madam, I've also discovered that he might be from Madam Li's husband's family." Shopkeeper Zhang said slowly.

“But this young man looks very noble, he must be rich or noble. I wonder if Lady Li’s husband’s family…” Nanny Wang didn’t dare to continue.

"Mammy, look at my wife's temperament and appearance. No one in Jiangyin Prefecture can compare to her. I wouldn't be surprised if she was a lady from a noble family." Chunyue on the side said proudly with her head raised and her lips pouted.

"My little ancestor, you are not allowed to tell anyone else this once you leave this house. We are all servants, and it is not for us to comment on what our masters do. The lady must have her reasons for bringing the young lady here." Nanny Wang covered Chunyue's mouth and said.

"Mammy is right." Shopkeeper Zhang nodded and glanced at the gate and said, "A woman with such a young child would rather not go back to her husband's house and live alone in a remote town. She must have her own difficulties. We should talk less and do more. Since my wife was taken away by Shopkeeper Qian and his men, I will go into the city to take a look."

"Yes, yes, Manager Zhang, please go and take a look. Alas, they tricked the person out so early in the morning and took him away without saying a word. I, an old woman, am very worried." Nanny Wang kept saying, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

Pei Jin and Xuan Bai stopped at the entrance of the alley for a while, and soon the secret guards who had returned from their investigation came to report to them.

It was said that they had found out that several carriages had indeed left the town from the west, but after leaving the main road, one carriage went straight south towards Jiangyin City, while the other two separated along two fork roads, one going east and the other west, and neither of them seemed to be returning to Jiangyin City.

"Oh no! This is a maze they set up. They don't want us to know where the Young Madam and the others are going." Xuan Bai said in a low voice.

"Time waits for no one. Let's split into three groups and give chase. Then we won't be afraid of not finding them." Pei Jin said in a deep voice, with fatigue growing in his eyes.

"Master, don't worry. We will immediately split into three groups to chase them. They will not be able to walk fast with the child." Xuan Bai supported Pei Jin's body and whispered, "Master, you should take care of your health. Otherwise, I am afraid that the young lady and the young master will find you, but you will fall down."

Pei Jin propped up his forehead and felt a fire burning in his chest. What was even worse was that his head began to hurt severely again. He knew he could not hold on any longer.

"Master, master, let Black Hawk take you back to the boat. You wait on the boat, and I will go chase those people right away." Xuan Bai helped Pei Jin sit on the stone bench at the entrance of the alley.

When Xuan Bai saw Pei Jin's expression, he knew that he couldn't bear it any longer, so he quickly called Black Hawk over, whispered some instructions to him, bowed to Pei Jin, and immediately left with the others.

Black Hawk took out the water bag and handed it to Pei Jin. Pei Jin took it silently and slowly drank the medicine in the bag. Only then did the fire in his chest slowly go out, but his chest gradually began to ache. Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead. His face was bloodless and pale as paper, looking extremely scary.

"Master," Black Hawk was startled and immediately remembered Xuan Bai's instructions just now, asking him to take the master back to the boat immediately. The master was exhausted, and if he didn't rest well, he might fall down and not be able to get up.

Pei Jin took a breath and waved his hands, no longer able to speak.

Black Hawk supported him and wanted to carry him on his back, but he heard the neighing of a horse.

"Hey, who is this? He comes to my territory but doesn't dare to come and pay homage to me." A man jumped off his horse, staring at Pei Jin with a pair of eyes as if filled with poison.

"Prince...Prince..." Fuqing jumped off the other horse breathlessly, rubbed his buttocks which were broken into six pieces, and screamed.

"Just go do your thing!" Jingyou rolled his eyes at him.

"Yes... yes..." Fuqing looked at the prince hesitantly, it seemed that his prince was not the only one who was crazy.

He quickly ran into the alley with his guards.

"What? Are you stupid?" Jing You was shocked when he saw Pei Jin's face. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Black Hawk. "Tell me, what's going on? Why does he look like he's about to die?"

"Your Majesty." Black Hawk bowed and saluted, "My prince..."

"Are you really going to die? Hahahaha... Pei Jin, I didn't expect that you were going to die? Do you want me to give you a ride!" Jing You laughed softly, took out the folding fan in his arms, and lifted Pei Jin's chin with the handle of the fan.

"You..." Black Hawk knocked off the fan handle and protected Pei Jin behind him.

"You dare to go against me? I will kill you!" Jingyou shouted, "Your master is not allowed to leave the capital during his father's funeral. Even if he returns, he will die."

"Prince Shun, you can't say that." Pei Jin suddenly said with a smile, taking out a jade ring from his lapel, waving it in front of Jingyou's eyes, and then putting it back.

"This is..." Jingyou's face changed. This was clearly his father's jade order.

"Prince Shun, we are busy, so we cannot keep you company." Pei Jin said in a gentle voice, striding forward with big strides, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

What's going on! Is he sent by my father to test me? Pei Jin is really well hidden, it turns out he is my father's man!

“Your Highness, Your Highness…” Fuqing ran out in panic, holding Jingyou’s arm and saying, “Madam Li and the others have been taken away!”

"What? Say it again!" Jingyou glared at Fuqing.

"Your Majesty, Madam Li, An'er, and Madam Zhou have all been taken away. I just asked Nanny Wang and Chunyue in the courtyard, and they both said they didn't know who it was. It seemed like a guest who wanted to order wedding dresses..."

Before Fuqing finished speaking, Jingyou said angrily, "Go after him! Pei Jin must have taken the person away and deliberately pretended to be sick at the entrance of the alley to fool me!"
