Quick Transmigration: Always Just a Passerby

Chapter 260 The Fake Young Master in Ancient Times 3

The servants of the Pei family couldn't find the fake young master Pei Ping, nor could they catch the idle man who spread rumors about the master and mistress.

Those who were watching the commotion at the side gate were fined silver.

They can't even keep an eye on one child.

The group that looted the original owner's property were also punished with beatings.

Pei Shao was preoccupied with finding his biological father and didn't want to risk being looked down upon by his fake parents at this crucial moment.

The family of three is waiting.

Wait until a new bustling scene emerges in the prefectural city, overshadowing the Pei family's prominence.

The stewards who went out to make purchases couldn't avoid it, and the shopkeepers were no different, facing malicious inquiries from outsiders all day long.

They spontaneously feigned innocence and composure.

One must not allow others to open a hole in oneself.

The idle man Xiao Yi moved as swiftly as the wind, and Pei Ping crawled from under his arm to his back, dodging the onslaught of the strong wind.

They soon arrived at the manor where the original owner had been exiled.

This time, the master's servant came to stay at the manor. Naturally, Erniu was not in charge of taking care of people. Everyone was hoping that the servant would help his family when he returned to the Pei family.

They didn't even wait until it got dark.

Pei Ping flicked a small, invigorating pill into Er Niu's mouth that melted instantly upon entry, and then slapped on a lucky charm that would immediately nullify any bad deeds.

Erniu seemed to sense something.

He smacked his lips and loudly complained to his parents.

"I think I just ate a bug when I opened my mouth!"

"It's alright, insects are a great tonic. Don't you feel more energetic?"

There were neighbors gossiping in the neighborhood.

Erniu took these words to heart.

After the pills slowly took effect, he remained convinced that it must have been because he ate a flying insect one afternoon.

Pei Ping rubbed his little hands together.

They climbed onto Xiao Yi's back together, one after the other, and set off again.

The two figures, one large and one small, kicked up dust along the path, forming the imposing formation of a large group of people advancing.

They arrived at Shijing Village in no time.

Having observed Yuan Wang and Zhou Cuicui, Pei Ping knocked on the fragile little wooden door in the middle of the night.

Zhou Cuicui slapped the man's casually draped coat away.

"Who is it? Did you eat too much in the middle of the night?"

Yuan Wang groggily got up and walked behind Zhou Cuicui with his small eyes squinted.

"Cui Cui, don't be angry. If there's nothing important later, just make him buy us an egg to eat."

What you said makes a lot of sense.

"Woof!" (My Ping is finally coming to join this family!)

Holding a carrying pole, Zhou Cuicui opened the door, only to find two unfamiliar people standing there.

She has poor eyesight.

However, she could still recognize the Yuan family's face, which Pei Ping had subtly altered.

This completely baffled the usually impulsive and energetic Zhou Cuicui.

Her fingers trembled slightly as she held up the tiny figure illuminated by the torchlight.

"you you you..."

Before Pei Ping could finish stammering "you," Xiao Yi shoved him into the courtyard.

Apart from Pei Ping himself.

A large bundle was also thrown into the yard along with it.

This was Pei Ping adding a considerable amount of money and clothing to the original owner's own stash.

There are quite a few.

That bundle was twice the size of Pei Ping's.

At this moment, Xiao Yi, a layabout, was dressed as a coachman for a wealthy family. He acted as if he were doing his master a favor, leaving Pei Ping and his bundle behind without saying a word.

Pei Ping pretended to stutter.

He stammered as he explained to the now-sane couple that he had escaped from the Pei family.

He was hiding in the city when he was rescued by the owner of the coachman's family.

After hearing about his ordeal, the other party, perhaps having a grudge against the Pei family, asked him many questions in detail before sending him back. The large bundle was a gift from the coachman's master.

Pei Ping finished explaining everything.

She focused on playing the victim, saying how pitiful her life was in the Pei family.

Pei Xu neither cared about the theft by the wet nurse nor allowed Lin Qingyao to interfere, and the servants watched the spectacle.

It's not that Pei Ping is exaggerating.

Pei Xu's only requirement was that the child live, and that he not be mistreated or that the proper order of master and servant be maintained.

The original owner was able to grow up safely entirely by luck.

Zhou Cuicui didn't know whether she believed it or not.

It's probably because the pillar has left a deep psychological scar on people.

She decided to go to the prefectural city with the man to find out more details.

Thinking about how I would have to go to the village auntie's house to learn words tomorrow.

Zhou Cuicui stopped dawdling and sent the two Yuans to bed. She didn't care whether they could fall asleep or not, since she had more important work to do.

This task involves stewing the pheasants that the little hunter brought back.

That dog is incredibly obsequious.

It stopped sleeping and quietly stayed by its owner's side, occasionally barking to make its presence known.

The father and son stared at each other in the bedroom.

Yuan Wang didn't know what to do, so he simply went to the kitchen, scooped up some warm water, and planned to wipe the child's face.

Pei Ping wiped the dust off his face heavily with his hand.

With his eyes closed, he rummaged through the bundle and pulled out strips of cotton cloth to wipe away the water.

Then she found a small blanket and a small pillow, took off her outer clothes and hair accessories in one go, crawled into the blanket, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

The two only exchanged five sentences during that time.

As an elder, Yuan Wang looked embarrassed, as if he wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to.

Pei Ping, being so young, couldn't understand his father's expression.

He quickly fell asleep.

Yuan Wang dawdled as he went to the kitchen and tugged at Zhou Cuicui.

"Cui, don't you think it smells bad when Xiaoping sleeps at our feet...?"

"Why don't you move it to the other end? What's the use of just telling me?"

Dog Tongzi found the conversation extremely interesting.

I recorded this on purpose so I can show it to Pingping at breakfast tomorrow, hehe.

...

at the same time.

Pei Shao of the Pei family also entered the dream.

Pei Shao was whipped by Pei Ping all night in his dream, and in the end he had to kneel down and call him grandfather. The good news is that the truth about his biological father has come to light.

When he woke up, he had forgotten the pain all over his body.

Anyway, you can't see the whip marks.

If you can't see it, it's the same as not existing.

Making up a random excuse, the "real" young master of the Pei family once again embarked on a journey to find his father.

Pei Xu didn't care much.

He sat by Lin Qingyao's bedside, took the medicine bowl from the servant, and served her tea and water while showing concern for her well-being.

"Qingyao, can't our relationship withstand this little storm? Why are you so upset? I've always accepted the child you bore for him."

Lin Qingyao's eyes were brimming with tears.

I wanted to speak but couldn't say anything.

It turns out that the little banyan tree was being helpful; it opened the window in her bedroom to ventilate the room last night.

This is not.

I woke up one morning to find myself too sick to get out of bed and my voice was hoarse.

Pei Xu tried to persuade him for a long time.

They only left after talking until their mouths were dry.

As a result, Pei Xu caught a cold the next day.

Pei Shao escaped a calamity because he still had the task of finding his father. He was not seriously ill, but he inexplicably started having bloody stools—hemorrhoids.

Pei Shao's father actually has a decent amount of dragon energy.

Pei Shao didn't need Pei Ping's protection at all. He stumbled along the way to the capital without encountering any villains or scoundrels.

It's hard to say.

If it weren't for the Empress... Pei Shao might have been able to become a member of the imperial clan.

Go, Empress! Charge, charge, charge, charge!

On the third day, Zhou Cuicui took her whole family out.

There's Pei Ping and Gou Zai.

Pei Ping still needs to walk occasionally, but the puppy can stay in Zhou Cuicui's arms the whole time.

"Commander, you're such a scoundrel!"

"Woof" (Tong has always been a dog in this life)
