Cheng Huaiyu opened her eyes wide and looked at Peng Mu as if she were looking at something terrifying.
She was thinking that Peng Mu must have men outside, so it would be impossible for her to lure him to the manor to wait for the people from Kuncheng to arrest him.
Leave with him?
Maybe it can be delayed for a few more days.
Seeing Cheng Huaiyu's shocked expression, Peng Mu smiled and patted her hand gently, saying softly, "Xiaoyu, Song Cheng hasn't treated you well. The Song family is just a merchant family. Song Cheng is a womanizer. Although they might not openly mistreat you because of my fifth aunt and uncle, what about behind the scenes? I know you don't like Song Cheng. Back then, you were just deceived by him using your brother's information. Xiaoyu, the Song family doesn't know anything about your brother, and they have no ability to help you find him. But I'm different. I have the ability to find your brother. Come with me! I don't mind that you've been married before. I regret that I couldn't protect you back then. But now it's okay. Xiaoyu, you have to believe me."
Cheng Huaiyu looked at Peng Mu for a long time before murmuring, "I mind. Besides, I have a child. I won't go with you; my child isn't even a year old yet. Liu Lang, since you don't need my help and can leave on your own, then you should leave quickly! They guessed you would come looking for me; they might already have people in Fuzhou!"
"Ha!" Peng Mu laughed sarcastically, "I was able to escape from the capital, and even the emperor's men couldn't catch me, so what do I have to fear from them?"
The more Cheng Huaiyu said this, the less wary Peng Mu became of her.
Cheng Huaiyu looked at Peng Mu without saying a word.
Peng Mu said, "Xiao Yu, do you really not want to find your brother? There's no news of him in the entire Great Zhou. The place where you had the accident was in Yuzhou, which is relatively close to the west. Your brother hasn't been seen in any of the other countries either, and now only Langge is left. I'm going to Langge this time. Come with me, and maybe we can see your brother!"
Cheng Huaiyu's face showed a look of excitement.
Peng Mu was overjoyed and continued, "If, if you really can't bear to leave the child, let's entrust him to a family to take care of him. After we go to Langge Kingdom together to find my brother, and after I've settled things, we'll come back to pick up the child, okay? Xiaoyu, come with me. From now on, I'll treat your son as my own child."
Cheng Huaiyu looked at Peng Mu suspiciously: "Then why can't you take the child with you when you leave?"
Peng Mu was overjoyed: "Xiao Yu, you've agreed? Let me explain. It's not that we can't bring her, but it's inconvenient. Children cry unpredictably, and we'll be traveling by water. The checks at the beach are very strict, and bringing a child would easily expose us. I promise you, once I can freely enter the Great Zhou, I will definitely come back to get our child!"
Cheng Huaiyu's conflicted expression reassured Peng Mu.
He was confident he could persuade Xiaoyu.
As for the child, well, he'll have many children with Xiaoyu in the future. This one's life or death is just a matter of his word. Xiaoyu is so innocent and naive, she won't doubt him then.
Cheng Huaiyu hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "Liulang, let me think about it! Or, you can leave now and not wait for me. What if they find out about you?"
Peng Mu shook her head: "No, I won't. I'll wait for you, until you've thought it through. Ten days, okay?"
