At this moment, Chuba and others finally came to their senses. It turned out that this was the same drama as last night.

They were very upset, wondering why they were not more alert.

"Wait, where are you taking me?" The woman suddenly panicked, realizing that things were out of her control.

She struggled, her voice filled with fear and anxiety, "My father hasn't been buried yet! Ahhh, stop it, I have to bury my father first, you are disrespecting the dead, you can't do this!"

The people who were still watching the fun were attracted over and started talking about it curiously.

Someone asked, "What's going on? Didn't they sign the contract to sell themselves? Why did they suddenly turn against each other?"

Another person replied: "I don't know. Let's wait and see. If not, we can go and report to the police. The little girl looks pitiful."

"Wait a minute, let's see. Why do I feel like these people don't look like bad people?"

"How did you know that? Didn't you see that they arrested the girl?"

At this moment, the woman being discussed had a pale face and was terrified.

She finally realized that she had been exposed, but how was she discovered?

Now that the contract of sale has been signed, it means that she will be completely bound.

She was becoming increasingly panicked: What should she do? She had to find a way to escape and find the woman from last night.

Chuba saw that she was so flustered and wanted to put further pressure on her.

So he pulled open the white cloth, and then he was met with a pair of wide-open eyes.

"Are you dying with your eyes open? Or should you bend your eyes?"

He said this in a half-joking tone.

The "corpse" on the ground sat up immediately after hearing this, his eyes wide open, his face full of shock and panic, "No no no, I'm alive!"

Chuba was so frightened that he almost took a step back and exclaimed, "Is he pretending to be dead? How about stabbing him a few times?"

There was a hint of joking in his tone, but it also made the people around him see the truth.

The people watching the excitement heard the scream, and were also frightened when they saw the "corpse" sitting up.

"Oh my god, he's dead."

"It's a fake corpse, run."

At this time, someone brave enough shouted, "It's not a fake corpse, it's a living person, take a good look, it can talk."

When everyone looked carefully, they saw that the crowd that had been planning to run away stayed.

When the man on the ground heard that he was going to stab him with a sword, he immediately knelt down.

With a terrified look on his face and a trembling voice, he begged for mercy: "I don't dare anymore, please let me go, I didn't mean to lie to you.

A woman gave me two taels of silver and asked me to lie here pretending to be a corpse today.

I have an 80-year-old mother and a crying granddaughter to take care of, so I can’t do anything about it.”

Seeing his look, Chuba was stunned for a moment. He hadn't even asked yet, and he confessed?

Everyone was stunned by this sudden situation.

I didn't expect that these two people were actually scammers.

After watching this scene, Chuntao realized that she had been stupid. She didn't expect that this was actually a scam.

She really wanted to go up and tear that woman apart.

Just as she was burning with anger, a hand was placed on her shoulder, "Don't be angry, just think of this as a lesson. Think about what Madam Hu said before."

Chuntao's body stiffened after hearing what Qiuju said. Yes, she had crossed the line.

Nanny Hu was the nanny that came with the late madam as a dowry, and they were all trained by Nanny Hu.

The first lesson that Nanny Hu taught them was that they should listen to whatever the young lady said and not try to influence the young lady's decisions and attitude, and not become arrogant because of her favor.

But ever since she followed the concubine out, she seemed a little bit dizzy.

Thinking of this, Chuntao held Qiuju's hand and said sincerely: "I understand."

And: "Thank you."

Qiu Ju patted her hands and said with a smile, "Let's go. Madam can't be alone."

"Okay," the two of them walked towards the carriage hand in hand.

At this time, Nanny Qin was already waiting outside the carriage.

As for the woman who was forgotten by them, she became more and more panicked.

"You...you can't do this to me!" Her voice began to tremble, and the fear in her heart could no longer be concealed.

"I was also coerced. I was forced."

Chuba and the others smiled at each other, with amusement and gloating evident in their eyes.

"Don't be impatient, take your time. How dare you, a woman like you, shirk your responsibility?"

King Xuan looked at the farce in front of him, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Okay, take them all away."

Then, he strode towards his carriage and met Shen Jingyi's unhappy face.

He couldn't help laughing: "Why, are you angry?"

"No." Shen Jingyi turned her head away and didn't look at him.

"Don't be angry, I just want to see when you can find out. After all, there are too many people around me with ulterior motives." King Xuan explained slowly, with a hint of tenderness and helplessness in his tone.

"Oh." Shen Jingyi pouted slightly, still not very happy.

After thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "What if I can't find it?"

King Xuan hugged her and coaxed her, "Don't you have me?"

Finally, he assured: "Don't worry, this won't happen again."

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi snorted proudly and felt a little better.

However, I couldn't help but ask the question in my heart: "Have you found out who was behind last night and today?"

Shen Jingyi's eyes became sharper, and it was obvious that she was very concerned about this issue.

King Xuan nodded and replied in a deep voice, "I found out that it was Miss Gao who stole the hairpin last night.

I have sent people to capture her maid and got some clues."

Shen Jingyi frowned slightly, with a hint of confusion on her face.

"Why is it her? We don't know her. What does she want to do?"

“She wanted to destroy our relationship.

She felt that you embarrassed her yesterday, so she took revenge like this.

She is somewhat dissatisfied with you, so she did this." He explained helplessly.

"No wonder. I was thinking that this place was famous for its beauties. After all this time, I realized that they picked one especially for you." Shen Jingyi pouted and said sarcastically.

King Xuan laughed, "But I don't like any of them. I only like this jealous little girl in my arms."

"Humph, I'm not jealous. It's obviously her problem. How come I am the one who embarrassed her? What kind of brain does she have?" Shen Jingyi said angrily.

King Xuan patted her back gently and said softly, "Don't worry, she actually dared to plot against us like this, I will naturally not let her go.

This kind of person is not worth your concern, I will make her pay the price for her actions."

Shen Jingyi relaxed a little, but still asked with some concern: "What is her background? Will it have any impact on you?"

King Xuan answered firmly: "Don't worry, she is just the daughter of Magistrate Gao here, and she will not have any impact on me.

I have made arrangements so that her behavior will not affect us."

"Don't worry about it. Just wait and see the result." He looked at her with a smile.

"Okay, I understand." Shen Jingyi nodded in response.
