Magu happily took it and directly put it into her mouth. She looked at Zhou Ying and said, âRemember to bury me and let Xiao Xu go. He⦠He didnât kill anyone.â
She spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, but shet still stared at Zhou Ying.
âDonât worry, we wonât make things difficult for him.â Zhou Ying nodded.
Magu smiled when she saw this and stopped breathing.
At the same time, the coachman also breathed his last.
After that, the couple cleaned up the scene and wrapped the two corpses in a mat. They found a sunny place and buried them separately.
After she was done with her work, Zhou Ying took out some joss paper money stored in her interspace, burned a large pile for each of them, and went down the mountain after that.
When they returned to the capital, the sky had already darkened, and there were no longer many people on the streets.
The two went straight to the south of the city and first took a look at the two shops they had bought.
They didnât expect a small restaurant to open on this street, too, and the business was good. Out of curiosity, the two of them went in for a meal.
They were surprised that there were only rice and stir-fried dishes. There were no real restaurant-level dishes at all.
The couple made do with a meal and finally drove the carriage to their shop to prepare some water and fodder for the horses.
The two of them quietly found No. 4. of Scholarflower Lane and opened the door with the key they took from Magu.
They went straight to the master bedroom, and Zhou Ying used her divine senses to search the room. Finally, she found a button on the inner side of the bed and pressed it. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Soon, a small, dark room appeared under the bed.
The two did not move the bed. Instead, Zhou Ying directly kept it in her interspace.
After checking the place and confirming that there was nothing of value, they erased any traces of their presence and quickly took their carriage back to the manor.
After washing up, the two entered the space and checked the things that Magu had left behind. To be honest, there was really nothing valuable.
There was a small quilt made of quality wool, a jade pendant, some pieces of jewelry, a dagger, and a rope with blood on it.
Finally, there was a large bag of Soul Severing Incense, a poison that Magu had made herself.
Gu Chengrui frowned and said, âIâm afraid these are useless.â
âThere should be a use for it, but there is no suitable opportunity at the moment.â Zhou Ying replied with a worried look, âIt seems we killed Magu in a hurry. These things probably wonât be able to trouble Mrs. Lu.â
âWrong. Magu dares to speak to us, but when facing the old madam, she would rather commit suicide than speak.
âThis is her servitude thatâs carved into her bones.
âOtherwise, she wouldnât have to obey orders to commit murder, even though she hated it.â Gu Chengrui said, âActually, there is a better way. Let the two wives of Marquis Dingâan fight among themselves. That way, even if Mrs. Lu doesnât die, she wonât be in the mood to find trouble with us.
âThey need money to fund their organization. Donât you know where Mrs. Luâs private stash is? Just take it.â
âWait, explain first how we make them fight among themselves.â Zhou Ying asked curiously.
âI remember that in the list of spies, thereâs someone who is closely monitoring Mrs. Lu. If the spy were to die at Maguâs hands, what do you think the old madam would think?â
Zhou Yingâs eyes lit up when she heard that. âThe poison used by Magu, Soul Severing Incense.â
âThatâs right. Didnât she say that she made the poison herself? I donât think the old madam is ignorant about this..â
