I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Mu Zhu pulled out everything from his body and only felt alive again when he had regained his body. He turned to look at the servant who was standing at the door, still vigilantly checking what was happening outside, and said.

"Muxia, you should also take a rest. No one will notice it now."

The servant, Mu Xia, raised his hand and tore off the human skin mask covering his face, then he let out a long sigh of relief.

God knows how anxious she was today. She even almost exposed herself several times when talking to Liu Ergou.

Mu Zhu looked at Mu Xia cheerfully: "You are also feeling depressed, right?"

Mu Xia glanced at him and said calmly, "What do you think? You are already feeling suffocated if you don't speak, not to mention that I have to keep talking to deal with them."

"Hehe, originally I wanted you to play the role of a wealthy businessman, but I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to hold up the role of a wealthy businessman with a big belly, so I let you, Sister Mu Xia, play the role of a servant." Mu Zhu chuckled and scratched his head.

Mu Xia didn't look at him again, but turned around to continue observing the movements outside, and whispered: "Judging from Tian Zhi's performance today, he has probably taken the bait. Next, we just need to play our own parts and wait for him to fall into the trap. We must not make any mistakes here, understand?"

Hearing Mu Xia's nagging, Mu Zhu nodded repeatedly and said, "Sister Mu Xia, don't worry. Liu Ergou and his mother didn't notice anything wrong with us all day, so there should be no problem."

Mu Xia nodded and said nothing more.

Mu Zhu stared at her back for a long time, and recalled what Wen Shutang said when he assigned him the task that day.

Wen Shutang leaned close to his ear and told him to play the role of a wealthy businessman with a big belly, and said that he would let Mu Xia assist him, and he could also take advantage of this mission to create some alone time with Mu Xia.

When Mu Zhu heard Wen Shutang say this, he couldn't believe it. He thought he had hidden his feelings for Mu Xia very well, but Wen Shutang saw through it at one glance.

Muzhu does have his own little thoughts.

He looked at Mu Xia's back, pursed his lips and said weakly, "Sister Mu Xia, this is a bed, you sleep on it, I'll just sleep on the floor."

Hearing what he said, Mu Xia didn't hesitate to turn around, walked to the bed and lay down to rest.

Seeing that Mu Xia really had no intention of letting him go to bed, Mu Zhu's mouth twitched unconsciously.

Then he sighed imperceptibly and whispered, "Sister Mu Xia, can you give me a quilt? If there is no quilt, just a pillow will do. I can hug it when I sleep in the middle of the night, so I won't be too cold."

There was a hint of pity in his voice, and he stood there blinking and looking at Mu Xia.

Hearing what he said, Mu Xia pursed her lips helplessly. It was summer now, how could it be cold to sleep on the floor? She had already seen through Mu Zhu's intentions, but she didn't expose him now.

"Never mind. The bed is big enough. Come up and sleep. Just be quiet."

After getting Mu Xia's permission, Mu Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Really!"

If Muzhu had a tail, it would probably be shaking so hard that it would almost fly up.

Mu Xia nodded helplessly: "Yeah."

Mu Zhu walked to the bed and then carefully lay down beside Mu Xia, not daring to breathe for a while.

He felt Mu Xia's breathing beside him, and suddenly felt that the task assigned to him by the Young Master's wife was not bad.

The long night passed quickly, and Muzhu and Mucha woke up very early. The first thing they did after waking up was to put on their masks.

The two of them instantly turned into a wealthy businessman and his servant who came from Baiping Town to travel and enjoy the scenery.

When it was bright in the sky and Liu Ergou came knocking on the door to wake them up, the servant pretended to have just woken up and walked out of the room.

"Why are you knocking? Why are you knocking? Don't you know that our master is still resting?" said the servant impatiently.

Liu Ergou quickly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, sir. I just wanted to tell you that breakfast is ready for you two."

The servant snorted arrogantly, then turned and went into the house to ask the rich businessman to come out.

After a long while, the two men came out of the room, and the servants followed the rich businessman humbly, helping him wash and dress.

After breakfast, Liu Ergou took the two of them to a place with more beautiful scenery near Xiaozhu Village. Along the way, he explained the advantages of this place to the rich businessman in a flattering manner.

The rich businessman showed a look of satisfaction on his face, and the servant took out another piece of silver from his arms and threw it into Liu Ergou's arms.

Liu Ergou immediately spoke more excitedly, and it was not until noon, when the sun rose, that they returned to the yard.

"Sir, it's too sunny outside now. How about we wait until it's cooler in the afternoon and then I'll take you two out for the fun?" Liu Ergou said cautiously.

The attendant turned his head and glanced at the wealthy businessman, then nodded: "Well, let's go in the afternoon."

After saying that, he followed the rich businessman back to the room. Liu Ergou also planned to go back and rest for a while. After all, he was exhausted from bowing and nodding all morning.

Just when Liu Ergou was about to go back to his room, he heard a surprised shout coming from the room where the rich businessman lived.

"what!"

Hearing the voice, Liu Ergou immediately turned around and ran over. Standing at the door, he knocked hesitantly and asked, "My Lords? What's wrong? What happened?"

The door suddenly opened, almost knocking Liu Ergou down.

The attendant came out of the room anxiously, looked at Liu Ergou and said, "Our master's heirloom is lost!"

Hearing what he said, Liu Ergou was stunned at first, and then a greedy look flashed in his eyes.

Heirloom? Sounds like it should be something very valuable, right?

He pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah? What heirloom?"

The attendant paced back and forth anxiously: "Our master's heirloom is a thousand-year-old jade, which is a treasure that cannot be bought with tens of thousands of taels of silver! Now it's lost. If we can't find it back, you and I will be sent to prison by the master!"

Hearing that he might be implicated, Liu Ergou became anxious and was immediately horrified.

"What? I'm going to go to jail! But this has nothing to do with me. I didn't steal it!"

The attendant sighed and said helplessly, "You are stupid. The master has a big family and great power. For small people like you and me, life and death is not a matter of a word from the master. I advise you to spend your time chatting with me here. You might as well go and look for it. If you find it, it's fine. If you can't find it, it will be miserable. I have followed the master for so many years. Even if I haven't worked hard, I have made contributions. The master will definitely not punish me too severely, but you are different. Think about it, isn't this the truth?"
