Mrs. Pei felt uneasy early in the morning. Because someone from Qili Village sent her a letter as soon as the city gate was opened. Qiao Yuyan went to Qili Village in the middle of the night, but there was no news from Yuehua Nunnery.

What's going on?!

It was her people who saw Qiao Yuyan go to the nunnery with their own eyes. Why did she appear in Qili Village again? Could it be that she knew the doppelganger?

Or did something happen in the Yuehua Nunnery!

No, although she didn't know the specific situation, she knew that something was wrong. This matter couldn't be delayed any more.

"Go to tell your man that the matter is about to begin!"

After receiving the order from Mrs. Pei and seeing the expression on her face, the people from Zhao quan family didn't dare to delay any longer and slipped out of the room.

Qiao Weisheng had been working in the office in the morning. Suddenly, he heard that someone was looking for him. When he came out, he found that it was a young man who looked unfamiliar and dressed like a scholar. When saw him, he bowed to him first.

The rules were not messy at all, and then he explained his identity. It turned out that he was a scholar in the Qili villa. After that, he handed a letter to Qiao Weisheng.

After he left, Qiao Weisheng read the letter, but the contents of the letter made him frown. After thinking for a while, he asked for leave and went home.

Mrs. Pei dressed up early. The plain clothes and simple jewelry made her look more elegant and lovely. She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, she gave some instructions to servants and went to the outer study.

After a while, she bumped into Qiao Weisheng and asked in confusion, "Why does Weisheng come back?"

Qiao Weisheng was also surprised to see her here. "Why are you here?"

Mrs. Pei smiled gently and said, "Weisheng has never liked close service, and this yard is of special significance to you. But how can you not have a woman to take care of it in such a big place? I made my own decision and take care of it for you. Weisheng, don't blame me for making my own decision."

As she spoke, she quickly explained, "But don't worry, Weisheng. I know that everything in your study is important. I haven't packed it up yet."

Qiao Weisheng took a look and found that there were indeed a lot of things on the table over there. The row of potted plants under the wall were also not there before. It was obvious that they had been carefully cleaned up by someone.

As a result, his expression became a bit more relaxed. He immediately said, "You don't need to deal with these things. Even if the servants' work isn't good, they can still deal with it. Your hands are ruined."

"I don' t have things to do and am just bored. What's more, Weisheng, this is your business. How can I not pay attention to it?"

She was so sensible and gentle, as if the smile on her face was always there, which reminded Qiao Weisheng of Mrs. Xu, who was still in the village.

She didn't care about the affairs of the family. She had been gone for so long, and hadn't said a word. Did she really think that he had no temper?

Mrs. Pei looked at Weisheng and knew what he was thinking. Her face changed and she looked worried again. "By the way, cousin, you came at the right time. Old Madam's birthday is coming. Although it's not her big birthday, she still likes to be lively. It's time to pick up Madam!"

Qiao Weisheng was thinking of this, but he didn't notice that she suddenly mentioned this thing.

When seeing him looking at her, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "It's my fault for being incompetent. Even though I've been helping manage the household since Mrs. Nolan left for a month, I still have no right to do so. It's inevitable that..."

But she stopped halfway through her sentence, and her eyes were red.

Qiao Weisheng understood what was going on. Although he was not in charge of the household affairs, he was not so ignorant. "Did someone bully you?"

"No, no one!" Mrs. Pei waved her hand repeatedly with a forced smile on her face. "But it's better for the mistress to take charge of the household. I don't know if there's any misunderstanding between Weisheng and Madam, so I think it's better for me to go to the village to invite Madam back. Besides... Madam should know about the matter of lady Qiao Yuyan."

"I'd better go myself!" Qiao Weisheng waved his hand. "She has a bad temper. If she sees you there and talks about Miss Yan, I'm afraid she'll embarrass you. You're weak, so don't be wronged."

Mrs. Pei immediately became anxious. "What are you talking about, Weisheng? Madam is the most reasonable person. Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today! Weisheng said that I'm weak, but Madam is also a woman. She have lived in the countryside for a month and the seasons have changed. There's no one around she who knows what's cold and what's warm. I'm afraid I won't have an easy time here!"

Her words happened to be close to what Qiao Weisheng was thinking today. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since you have the sincerity, let's go together! It's indeed more convenient to go with you."

Mrs. Pei was immediately delighted. "Thank you, Weisheng. I'm so sorry that I haven't visited Madam for such a long time."

When the Old Madam in Ninghe Pharmacy heard that Qiao Weisheng had taken leave and gone to Qili Village, her face darkened. "Both mother and daughter are unreliable. Look around the Capital. Whose the lady in charge would give up her job and hide in the village for a month when something wrong happened?"

Speaking of Qiao Weisheng, he said, "He has no temper! Going to pick her up? Can't you find someone in the whole mansion to work for? I think we can deal with it during this period of time. Can't we really get rid of her some day?"

The servant didn't dare to say anything. The Old Madam didn't make it clear, but everyone knew that she was talking about Mrs. Pei. Mrs. Xu hadn't been around for a long time, so Mrs. Pei was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the mansion. However, the the lady in charge would come back one day. If she offended Madam, she would suffer losses if she was found out one day?

Ninghe Pharmacy knew that Qiao Weisheng and his fellows had gone to Qili Village, but they didn't receive any news in the Qili Village.

When seeing them coming over, they were in a mess. Only then did Qiao Weisheng know that Mrs. Xu was not in the village.

"What's going on? Where did Madam go? Didn't she tell you something?" Qiao Weisheng came over with Mrs. Pei and the others, but they didn't see her. He felt a little uncomfortable.

The head of the village quickly replied, "We didn't expect you to come. Madam didn't say that she was going anywhere else during this period of time. I didn't even hear about it yesterday during the day!"

All the tools in the room were still there. It didn't look like she was going on a long journey. "Maybe she is taking a walk nearby. Send someone to look for her."

Seeing that no one was around, Mrs. Pei was extremely nervous. What did Qiao Yuyan come to the village for last night? Why weren't they here?

"When we came to greet the Madam in the morning, we found that Mrs. Xu was not there. Not only Mrs. Xu, but also the servants around her. We were afraid that something might happen, so we have been looking for her all morning, but we didn't find them."

His words made Qiao Weisheng nervous. "Why did they disappear all of a sudden? Is there anything unusual?"

The head of the village was so anxious that his forehead was sweating. It was the woman deside who reminded him, "In the middle of the night, I seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves. Someone came. In the morning, I heard an old woman in the village say that she saw a man riding a horse last night. He also said a few words to Madam, and then she didn't know what happened."
