Great Zhou Dynasty·Kyoto
Lei Yuting was leaning against the pavilion, leisurely fishing, with a servant fanning him and a maidservant feeding him fruits and snacks from time to time. Suddenly, a man in green appeared in the pavilion.
The people in the pavilion were not at all surprised by his sudden appearance. They continued to do what they were doing, as if they didn't notice his presence.
"Young Master, we have already found out everything." Lei Qi reported.
"Who?" Lei Yuting changed his usual cynicism and showed a cold look on his face.
"He was from Gu's Trading Company. Shopkeeper Lin was bribed by them beforehand. After he got the Ice Skin Cream solution, he directly informed Gu's people. To prevent him from revealing his identity, they killed him to silence him."
"How is Madam Mu's investigation going?"
"I'm incompetent and haven't been able to track her down yet. However, after investigation, I learned that she's from Nanxi Village, a remote village under the jurisdiction of Linzhou Prefecture. The child Madam Mu is carrying is the child of a widow named Mu Zhitao from that village. We showed Madam Mu's appearance to the villagers, but they said the woman wasn't Mu Zhitao."
"What's strange is that Madam Mu left town and disappeared with Mu No Momo and her son, yet they all match up."
This is what he has been unable to figure out. The child matches, the surname matches, but the person doesn't match.
"There's nothing wrong with the two of them looking different. Don't forget that there's a kind of disguise in the martial arts world." Lei Yuting said quietly.
"That..." Lei Qi hesitated to speak.
"But what's wrong?"
Lei Qi took something out of his arms, and the maid beside him took it and handed it to Lei Yuting.
"This is a portrait of Mu No Momo and Mu Madam."
The maid spread out the two portraits one by one and placed them in front of Lei Yuting. When Lei Yuting glanced at the two portraits, he almost spit out the tea in his mouth.
The difference between the two is as vast as heaven and earth.
One of them had a face as big as a basin, a body as huge as a pig, and a face that was horrible to look at.
The other one has a thin figure and delicate features, and can be considered a pretty lady.
Lei Qi continued, "I've asked the villagers of Nanxi Village, and they've confirmed that Mu Zhitao has always looked like this, without any disguise."
This is why Lei Qi is not sure about Mrs. Mu’s identity.
First of all, if you want a thin person to pretend to be fat, you can put on more clothes or use other methods. On the other hand, if you want a fat person to pretend to be thin, how can you do it?
There is no way at all!
It's not like there's some magic that can make someone lose so much weight all of a sudden.
Even Lei Yuting began to doubt whether Mu Zhitao and Madam Mu were the same person. He had previously believed that they were definitely the same person, but now he was hesitant to jump to conclusions.
"No matter who she is, we just need to find her."
"yes."
"As for the Gu family." When he said this, Lei Yuting's eyes darkened slightly, thinking of how the eldest prince brought Gu Pianran here a few days ago and asked him to take care of her business.
Instead, she directly attacked their Lei's Company behind their backs.
Lei Yuting had never taken the little tricks that Gu had done to other businesses seriously, nor had he taken Gu seriously. But this time, she actually dared to reach out to them and play dirty tricks behind their backs, so don't blame him for being rude.
She thought that she would be safe as she had the eldest prince as her support in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but there was more than just the eldest prince in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
