Li Mu's heart was moved, but he still felt something was wrong, and for a while he sulked.

Lin Wan was still rational and didn't move easily, she asked the old lady, "Elderly man, is your second son married, do you have a second daughter-in-law?"

The old lady confessed, "My second son disappeared before the wedding, and my so-called second daughter-in-law never married into my family.

She has been living in her own mother's house, and it has been a long time since our two families have been in communication, and had it not been for my eldest son's accident, I had intended to go and break off the engagement in the near future."

What, with a second daughter-in-law, there's no possibility of my husband stepping in then.

Lin Wan immediately shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do about this matter, you'd better hire someone else!"

She thinks more and is more realistic.

As long as the marriage had not been dissolved, this so-called second son was the one who had a daughter-in-law, and since the man had come back, the other party was justified in asking for the marriage to be consummated.

What will we do then? Do we really have to marry a wife?

If you say it's an act, can the family of the mother agree to this rhetoric?

What if it's a cover-up? What if it's a fake-out? Cut the crap, no.

Li Mu also shook his head greatly, he was now happily married and had a good family, he didn't want to have anything to do with another woman.

He knew his wife's concerns, and he shared them.

If that second prince didn't have a daughter-in-law, he wouldn't mind pretending to play the role, but if he had a daughter-in-law, it was a no-brainer, a firm no.

Not only did their family take such a stance, the fifth princess also held the same opinion, she hadn't had much hope yet, and she had to lure wolves into the house, what a joke.

The old lady was a bit anxious, it was so hard to find one, how could she suddenly decide not to do it after a good chat.

She quickly said, "Don't have any worries, with me here, there won't be any mistakes."

Lin Wan said seriously, "Old man, I might as well be honest, you can't control this kind of thing at all, we don't want to invite trouble, sorry, goodbye!"

After saying that, he signaled Li Mu and the others to get up and leave.

The old lady hurriedly said, "Is it okay if I increase the pay, or if you guys make conditions, as long as it's within the range of my acceptance, I can agree to anything."

Lin Wan and the others stopped paying attention to her and moved to head outside.

The old lady got really anxious and rushed over to stop them.

pleaded, "Gentlemen, help me, I am really at my wits' end, and I beg you to help this poor old woman of mine."

Shen Xingyue frowned and asked, "Old man, there are so many people in the marketplace, why are you staring at us?"

"This lady, there is nothing I can do.

I'm not going to lie, I've been here for a long time, interviewed a lot of people, and never met my favorite candidate until I met you guys."

"What kind of reasoning is that, does it mean that my husband looks like your second son?"

"That's not true, it's mainly the temperament that's like, my son comes from a rich family, grew up in fine clothes, and has an aristocratic temperament.

Some of those interviewees, while not bad in terms of qualifications, were always poor in terms of temperament and looked out of place."

I see, it's the local temperament that people are looking for.

You don't have to say, the old lady is quite discerning, Li Mu is a marquis, Lin Wan and the others have been in high positions for a long time, and there is indeed an air of superiority about them.

The Fifth Princess was even more so, and even Master Kei and Master Qian were superior in terms of their aura and appearance, not something that could be compared to the common people.

With a twinkle in his eye, Little Brother Li immediately came up with a lackluster idea.

He pointed at Mr. Qian and said, "Old man, what do you think of him?"

Husbandman Qian was startled and hastily waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency is joking, how can an old man fulfill such a role."

"Why can't you be competent, after you shave off your beard, you are a handsome uncle, no matter your age or temperament, it fits the status, I think it will definitely work!"

Lin Wan and the others also took a serious look at Husbandman Qian, nodding their heads one by one, even Princess Fifth and Master Kei nodded their heads.

After Li Mu said this, the old lady also began to scrutinize Master Qian carefully, thinking that this person's appearance was quite similar to her second son.

The more she brainstormed what the other woman would look like when she was primped, the more satisfied she felt.

Of course, her ideal target was still Marquis Li, but on the premise that the latter would definitely not agree, this guy seemed to be fine.

Seeing her expression of satisfaction, the Fifth Princess happily said, ''Good then, we'll take on this task, and it'll be Husband Qian posing as your second son.

I'll let him go get a haircut and comb now, and when he comes back, you can see if it's okay, and if there's nothing wrong with it, then let's sign!"

Qian Fu Zi wanted to cry, how could he not have thought that this matter had finally loaded him in.

He had the intention to refuse, but he didn't dare to rebel against the orders of the Fifth Princess, that was his master, the one who could decide whether he would live or die, he didn't dare to violate his superior from below.

There was no choice but to give a resigned promise to be accompanied by Master Kyu for a haircut.

It didn't take long to come back primped and preened.

The crowd took a look and couldn't help but cry out in secret, but they saw a mature uncle standing in front of everyone, graceful, steady and reserved, with good temperament and appearance.

The old lady felt satisfied and even felt that her previous vision was faulty.

This person's image and temperament was clearly more in line with the requirements, much better than that dangling Marquis Li.

She immediately called for the fellow and signed an employment contract with the Fifth Princess in the latter's presence.

While they were busy, Lin Wan whispered to Li Mu, ''Hubby, what do you think, although what the old lady said is quite good, I just don't know if it's true or not?

If she's hiding something and we go over there, I'm afraid we'll be in some kind of danger."

Li Mu pondered for a while and asked rhetorically, "Are you worried that she'll kill someone afterward, or that she has ulterior motives?"

"Well, I do have these concerns, and the old lady makes it sound like we don't need to do anything but impersonate.

But will it really be that simple, and if she harbors a secret agenda, won't we be putting ourselves in harm's way?"

Li Mu pondered for a while longer and responded in a low voice, ''Daughter-in-law, it's fine, even if she wants to make a move, she doesn't dare to do it openly, she will definitely use secret moves.

And since we are not afraid of poison, we have martial arts skills, and we have pistols to protect us, we don't need to be afraid of her messing up, so as long as we are more careful in general, we probably won't be in any danger."

Lin Wan thought for a long time before she gently nodded her head.

After signing the contract, the old lady pulled out a pamphlet from her bosom and handed it to the Fifth Princess.

"This is an introduction to my old self's family, including the structure of the personnel, their relationship with each other, and the character traits of the main characters, all of which are described inside the booklet, so please read it carefully."

Li Mu laughed, ''That's very good, old lady, you'd better tell us more about your second son's situation in detail.

Then you go on doing what you're supposed to be doing, and then, when the time comes, we'll graciously go home and recognize our relatives, and we'll just put on a play together."

The old lady nodded her head in agreement and gave a few brief details about her second son.

Then he took out a booklet and said to them, "I am old and clumsy, and I am afraid that I may not be able to say everything, so I will write down my son's situation in this booklet, and you will know it as soon as you look at it."

Li Mu received the pamphlet and did not say anything, mulling over the matter over and over in his mind, looking for possible breaks.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Honestly, old lady, does my companion look like your second son?"

The old lady took another close look at Husbandman Qian and frankly said, "There are a few similarities in appearance and temperament, but you can still find out the differences, is your son worried that he will wear out his welcome?"

"Yes, only likeness is not enough, and if the difference is great, it will certainly be questioned by outsiders."

"There's no harm in that, I've already thought of something to say that should dispel anyone's doubts."

"Oh, tell me about it?"

"That's what I'm going to say once it's challenged, I'm going to say that my second son hasn't been home for a long time.

The vicissitudes of a hundred years have changed his looks and temperament, and as long as I think he's right, then he's my second son."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Saying that won't work, it definitely won't be able to muddle through, and it will even inspire conflicts and force your eldest daughter-in-law to show her hand in advance."

"Why do you say that, my lord?"

"It's simple, no matter how much more one goes through the ages, one's outward appearance doesn't change too much, it's genetically determined and has nothing to do with time."

"Genetics?"

"Yes, genetics, or father's sperm and mother's blood, will be present in your son's body as a couple of you, and this will not be a good thing to do if someone suspects it in the first place."

"What should I do?"

Reimu was speechless, how would he know what to do.

The old lady had obviously simplified the issue, thinking that she could just find a random look-alike and pretend to be her second son.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about the discrepancy, but she thought she could use time as an excuse to deal with all the skepticism.

But can it be that simple, I'm afraid her argument that time can change everything doesn't make sense after people think there's something wrong at first glance.

Suspicion was a seed, once it was planted in the heart, even if Qian Fu Zi behaved impeccably, people would suspect him to be a fake.

While everyone was in a difficult situation, Master Kei said, "Amitabha Buddha, Mr. Li, I have a way to resolve this matter."

Li Mu immediately asked, "What's the master's brilliant idea?"

Master Kei said somewhat coyly, "Not to hide it from Your Excellency, I know a handful of bone-changing techniques that can change a person's appearance.

I can change the face of the Qian Shi Master so that he looks more like the second son of old Tangyue, and in this way, no one will suspect him."

Li Mu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Master Kyu to give Master Qian a disguise.

The latter did not excuse himself and went out to pick up some materials, and when he returned, he immediately changed his face for Qian Fu Zi.

Under the old lady's guidance, he moved around Qian Fu Zi's face and quickly changed his appearance for him.

He then made some changes based on the old lady's comments, and finally, the old lady clapped her hands and said, "That's him, that's my second son."

The crowd tsked, even the Fifth Princess didn't think that Master Kei still had this skill.

Li Mu asked curiously, "Master, why do you, a monk, know the art of bone changing, are you planning to do something bad?"

Master Kei hurriedly chanted Buddha and said in a serious manner, "Your Excellency is joking, this is a family heirloom skill, I knew it before I became a monk, and I have never done anything bad with it."
