In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Wu Qiming's series of actions after returning to the Wu family, as well as the haunted incident at the Hu family, did not escape Zhu Wu's surveillance, and he quickly passed the news to Liang Zhilan.

"My Lord, the county horse returned to the Wu family and seemed to have given a hundred taels of silver. The Wu family seemed to be haunted these past two days, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were all scared. I heard that the ghost was called Chen Tong, and he came to the Wu family for revenge."

Liang Zhilan had almost forgotten the name Chen Tong. When Zhu Wu mentioned it, she remembered that the woman had been sold to a brothel in southern Xinjiang by Nanny Xu.

It seems that she couldn't stand the abuse from the man and died. That's good, so there won't be any more trouble in the future.

But then again, there are no ghosts in the world. Someone must be pretending to be a ghost to scare that family! Let them be. I don't want to bother with their business.

"Okay, you did a great job. Keep a close eye on Jun Ma and see if he goes looking for Zhi Hua. If he does, get rid of Zhi Hua immediately and don't leave any trouble for the future!"

Chen Ruotong is also a black sesame person. She feels even better when she goes to sleep after doing something bad.

When she got up early, Chen Daquan had already led the craftsmen and servants to work.

Feng Liangyu had also been waiting outside Chen Ruotong's door early to report something.

"Sir, Old Feng heard that Aunt Xu has been ill these days and is recuperating at home, so she has not gone to work at the Princess's Mansion.

Liang Zhilan was very angry when she didn't find Zhihua, so she asked her to go home. It was probably because Liang Zhilan hated her, and she got sick because of anxiety and anger.

"It's good that you're sick. It's time. Let's get sick together! Hehehe... Old Feng, you've worked hard. You still have to keep an eye on the Princess's Mansion. I feel like something big is going to happen!"

"Yes, sir, this is the address of Madam Xu's home."

Feng Liangyu handed a simple map to Chen Ruotong. Aunt Xu lived on West Street, not far from Old Lady Wu's house!

Chen Ruotong entrusted the important task of supervising the decoration to the experienced Chen Daquan.

After a period of training and accumulation, Chen Daquan is now familiar with this kind of business and is able to handle it with ease.

At this time, Chen Ruotong planned to go out for a stroll.

After all, she needs to find a way to get rid of those "tails" that follow her closely like a shadow.

Only in this way could she go to Aunt Xu's house at night and give that hateful old woman a good scare.

It is not easy to completely solve these problems. Chen Ruotong also considered putting the tracker directly into the space, but soon realized that this approach was not advisable.

Because even if this person was gone, Liang Zhilan would definitely send other subordinates to continue monitoring, which would be counterproductive.

Therefore, the only feasible method at present is to try your best to get rid of this annoying "tail" behind you!

As expected, the moment Chen Ruotong stepped out of the back door of the teahouse, a thin but light-footed and agile young man quietly appeared behind her.

This person has a common appearance and no special features. He can blend into the crowd and disappear in an instant. This appearance undoubtedly makes him an excellent stalker - not easy to attract others' attention, but also able to cleverly hide his whereabouts.

Although Chen Ruotong tried to get rid of the other party by running through the streets and alleys, she failed in the end.

Looking at the figure who was always chasing her, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "It would be great if this person could work for me! Unfortunately, I only have Lao Feng, an expert in tracking, available to me right now. Manpower is really too scarce!"

There was no other way, Chen Ruotong could only enter the space from an unnoticed corner.

The man lost the target again and was very frustrated. He began to doubt his tracking ability!

After the man turned around and left, Chen Ruotong left the space and headed towards West Street.

Soon, she arrived near Aunt Xu's house, observed the terrain, and then strolled around the entrance.

She noticed that a man in his thirties, staggering with a wine bottle, opened the door and walked in.

I only heard a loud voice inside, "Mother... my son is back... Mother, give me some money. I owe the gambling house twenty taels of silver. If I don't pay it back, they will break my legs..."

Then, I heard some banging and rummaging sounds in the house.

"Hey, Dalang, you are such a rebellious son... You are idle all day long, don't learn your lesson, always gamble, and even make my wife and children run away. Are you trying to piss me off to death? What are you talking about? You took all the money in the family to gamble, and the princess doesn't pay me for my work, so where did the money come from? Ahem... "

That was Aunt Xu's voice. It looked like she was coughing a lot! Her old arms and legs were so weak. If her son got angry again, the disease would probably get worse. She might even die someday.

The door was not closed, so Chen Ruotong walked in bravely.

The door of Aunt Xu's room was also wide open. Her son Dalang was rummaging through her closet. Aunt Xu was lying on the bed, coughing angrily.

Not finding any money in the closet, Dalang searched under the bedclothes of Madam Xu. Fortunately, he found a wooden box, and when he opened it, he found a hundred taels of silver.

He laughed and said, "Mother, you just lied to me. You have money but you don't give it to your son to pay off his gambling debts. You are so cruel..." Then he walked out with the banknote.

Aunt Xu hurried downstairs, chased after her son, grabbed Dalang's arm, and pulled him back, trying to snatch the banknote.

Dalang pushed Nanny Xu hard, knocking her to the ground.

Aunt Xu's temple hit the corner of the stool and blood flowed out.

But the drunk Dalang's eyes lit up when he got the silver note. He didn't care that his mother fell and was injured, and ran out with the silver note. Chen Ruotong quickly entered the space to hide.

When Dalang ran out of the yard, Chen Ruotong came out of the space and entered the house, where she saw Aunt Xu lying on the ground.

Blood was still oozing from her temple, her eyes were rolled back, and she was breathing heavily, as if she was about to die.

Chen Ruotong is not a kind-hearted person. She would never save the original owner's enemy. It would be better if he died, so that she wouldn't have to go through the trouble of dealing with Aunt Xu.

When Aunt Xu saw someone coming in, she quickly asked for help, "Master, help me... please save me..."

Chen Ruotong smiled slyly, "Madam Xu, you have come to this day too. You have done too many evil things, right? Even your own son refused to save you, so how could I save you? It is true that evil will be punished with evil! What goes around comes around, no one can escape from the law of heaven? Hahaha..."

Seeing that no one was trying to save her, Aunt Xu took out another two hundred taels of silver from her chest and tremblingly handed it to Chen Ruotong, "Sir, please give it to me... hire a doctor... I'll give you all the silver..."

Chen Ruotong accepted the banknote and didn't want to refuse it. She considered it as compensation to the original owner!

"Madam Xu, listen carefully. You killed Wu Qiming's fiancée, Chen Tong. She has turned into a ghost and is here to take your life! Look, there is that ghost!"

After hearing this, Aunt Xu glanced at the corner of the wall, but saw nothing. She gasped and said, "There is no ghost. Go get a doctor..."

Chen Ruotong suddenly disappeared, which frightened Aunt Xu so much that she trembled, but she was still conscious and had no intention of dying. This person is quite tough. Let me scare you and see if you can still be tough?

When Chen Ruotong dressed up as a female ghost and came out of the space again, Aunt Xu was so scared that she died!
