After breakfast the next day, the two sent King Rui some tonics made with ginseng, ganoderma, birdâs nest, wolfberries, longan, donkey hide, and so on. They were all high-quality products produced in the interspace.
After delivering his supplements, the couple drove a carriage out of the city.
After leaving the city, Zhou Ying spread out her divine senses. After confirming that no one was following them, they went straight to a Mother God Temple.
Offering some incense, they went up the mountain in the name of sightseeing.
They found a remote cave. After confirming there was no danger, Zhou Ying threw the two people inside her interspace out.
Seeing that they were still unconscious, Gu Chengrui nodded in satisfaction. He went forward and gave them the antidote.
About 15 minutes later, the two woke up one after another.
When the coachman saw them, his face was filled with fear. He immediately shrank back and asked, âWhat, what do you want?â
âYou should know, but you have to thank us for finding you such a good place for your burial.â Zhou Ying commented and pointed at the green mountains and rivers outside.
âYou, you⦠You, you canâtâ¦â
âWhy canât we? If you can do the first, we can do the fifteenth. Itâs fair, no?
âTell me, how do you want to die?â
âNo, no, I donât want to die! Itâs her; Magu threatened me!
âHer mistress is the old concubine of the Marquis of Dingâan. If you want to find the person who harmed you, you should look for them instead!â The coachman shouted.
âWait⦠How come you know my identity?â Magu suddenly injected and asked. âDo you think youâre the only smart one here? Among those bandits, a few of them had seen you go to a Mother God Temple together. Naturally, they knew you two were master and servant and discovered your identities.
âOtherwise, do you really think they are so easily threatened?â
The coachman shook his head regretfully. âUnfortunately, their luck is not as good as they thought.â
Magu looked up at the couple and said, âSince you already know the ins and outs of the matter, give me a quick death.â
âI know youâre not afraid of death, but your nephew should be. Or rather, you donât want your nephew to die.â Zhou Ying replied with a smile.
However, her eyes had no smile; they were filled with provocation.
âYouâ¦â Magu finally knew fear.
She did not know if Xiao Xu was in their hands, so she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. âTell me, what do you want to know?â
âSmart. No wonder your madam appreciated you.
âMy request is simple. Tell me everything you know about the evil deeds that Mrs. Lu has done.â
âImpossible.â
âThatâs fine. It seems that your only nephew, Xiao Xu, isnât that important. How about I send him to accompany you to meet your ancestors?â
Magu struggled violently a few times, but she couldnât stand up.
She thought of something and quickly calmed down. âWhatever.â
âI like that. I guess you gave your nephew 2,000 taels of silver for nothing. It wasnât difficult to bribe that man called Er Niu in the small courtyard of XX alley.â
Maguâs pupils constricted when she heard that. She really did not expect that the couple would find the tunnel entrance.
âIf the heavens do evil, you can go against it. If you do evil, itâs the end of you.
âFine, Iâll fulfill your wish.
âSomeone like you, whose hands are stained with blood, doesnât have the chance to turn over a new leaf anyway.
âRemember to be more picky when you reincarnate in your next life. Donât be a cow or a horse, as it will be tiring.â Zhou Ying took out two silver notes from her sleeve and waved them before Maguâs eyes.
Magu was utterly dumbfounded when she saw the familiar handwriting on the banknote.
She didnât think that Xiao Xu would really fall into their hands..
