Two days passed peacefully.
Of course, nothing went unnoticed during these two days.
Xiao Qiao'er, Granny Chun, and Aunt Leng were all sent back.
Unfortunately, when they left and returned, they were blindfolded and sat in a carriage, so they had no idea where the manor they had visited for a day was.
Upon returning, Granny Chun immediately went to attend to Old Madam Meng, who remained unconscious.
Leng Pusheng had also been secretly observing the relationship between the two people in Wanshou Hall to see if it had improved.
Although it wasn't obvious, Wei Wei could tell that Master Meng still had feelings for the woman who had cheated on him.
Not only was their house and residence quite tidy, but they also only had one son, Meng Zhixuan.
Ultimately, it was because Madam Meng was too arrogant and too muddle-headed that she had an ambiguous relationship with that spineless Second Master Meng, trampling everyone's dignity to the ground.
Now that she's willing to fawn over him and lower herself for his son's sake, it must be for a reason.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes that in just two short days, Master Meng's gloomy and ferocious expression has softened considerably.
He thought that Jiaren had come to her senses and wanted to live a good life with him, and he was willing to give her another chance.
He never imagined that the woman was only pretending to be nice to him for the sake of her son, and that if he pushed her too far, he wouldn't hesitate to take his life.
Madam Meng recovered quickly under the care of Master Meng.
As Granny Chun left Yanshou Hall and passed Wanshou Hall, she saw Master Meng patiently helping her take a walk in the courtyard. The two were talking in hushed tones, a truly beautiful scene of marital harmony.
In the past few days, Leng Pusheng has also been searching for Meng Zhixuan's whereabouts. Although there has been progress, he is ultimately only one person, so the investigation is very slow.
Wei Wei didn't rush him; in fact, she later convinced him to give up his search.
She said lazily, "If you follow Master Meng and his wife, you'll naturally know his whereabouts."
After a few days of rest, Madam Meng's condition had improved significantly.
Her goal was to see her son, and she would do everything she could to achieve it.
This goal is about to be achieved.
This morning, I had carriages and horses prepared, saying that I was going to go with Master Meng to a temple outside the city to offer incense.
Wei Wei stood at the entrance of Tingfeng Pavilion, listening intently to the sounds coming from the other side, and suddenly chuckled softly.
Wanshou Hall hasn't been this lively in a long time.
Originally, there was no need for such a big fuss, but Madam Meng deliberately made such a big scene.
Ultimately, it was all just to vent their anger.
Besides letting everyone know that she would soon be taking control of the Meng family again, and would once again be the undisputed first wife of the Meng family.
Another reason is that I want to show it to Madam Meng.
After discovering her affair with Master Meng, Madam Meng was extremely angry and slapped her several times.
She's such a vengeful person; now that she's risen up, how can we just let it go like that?
She wouldn't let it go; she wanted to make Madam Meng furious when she heard the news of their reconciliation!
Tell her never to come back!
After more than an hour of fussing, we finally set off.
As the sound faded into the distance, Wei Wei returned to Tingfeng Pavilion.
"Follow them to the outskirts, find Meng Zhixuan's whereabouts, and on the way back, kill them both when no one knows."
Her eyes were half-closed, and her face was completely expressionless.
Her voice remained calm, yet it made Leng Pusheng feel that this woman was truly ruthless.
Killing someone is like saying, "The weather's nice today."
He didn't even feel that the killing intent was particularly strong.
However, what the person in front of him thinks is none of his business.
He's in charge of handling things; it's his family's head who should be having a headache.
After all, winning over a woman like that is not as simple as one might imagine.
The thought of what his master's expression would be like when he had a headache filled him with a sense of wonder.
Oh well, it's none of his business anyway. He just needs to do his job.
So without hesitation, he jumped over the wall and went to chase after the person.
——
The manor where Meng Zhixuan was hidden was not far from Loucheng.
After leaving the city, we made several turns and stopped after about an hour.
Not far from Zhuangzi was a small village, a place with many eyes and a lot of people, so they chose to settle there.
Leng Pusheng secretly curled his lip. This merchant was cunning; he had investigated other places but overlooked this one.
There were several other estates nearby, and we might not have been able to find their exact locations if we hadn't followed this carriage.
He wasn't too close; he was hiding in the branches of a large tree and looking down from above. He could clearly see how cautious Master Meng and Madam Meng were when they knocked on the door.
He would glance around every now and then.
The head of the estate opened the door, and upon seeing the owner arrive, he naturally bowed and scraped.
Leng Pusheng silently slid down the tree, wanting to get closer and even more so, wanting to climb over the wall to see what was going on inside.
But as soon as he twitched his ear, a leaf flew from behind him.
As he swayed and turned around, he saw a figure behind him grinning wickedly.
He is another brother in Su Shou Tang.
The man winked at him and flew ahead into the depths of the woods.
Leng Pusheng hesitated for a moment, then turned and followed the man into the woods.
"Brother Xie, what brings you here?" he asked.
"Don't go in anymore."
Brother Xie said with a stern face, "Several top-level imperial guards are hidden inside."
Leng Pusheng frowned: "He's just a small-time businessman, why is that person so nervous about him?"
Brother Xie, carrying a knife, sneered: "The hall master said that of the five families, only the Meng family had an accident. Those people must have some doubts."
"You know that person is not only smart, but also extremely ruthless. Even the hall master doesn't want to break ties with him now."
"If they really catch you, you'll be skinned alive and won't be able to leave there."
Leng Pusheng frowned upon hearing this. He had originally wanted to see how Meng Zhixuan was doing, but now that someone was hiding inside, his plan was impossible to realize.
"Thank you so much, brother, otherwise I would have been in trouble here." Leng Pusheng cupped his hands in thanks to him.
Brother Xie grinned and said, "Why thank me? I was just here to wait for you on the orders of the Hall Master."
This surprised Leng Pusheng: "Is there some kind of mission?"
Brother Xie waved his hand, laughing with a hint of teasing: "Your current task is of utmost importance, where would you find the time to do anything else?"
Leng Pusheng glanced at him speechlessly: "Do you know how that little beast surnamed Meng is doing now?"
