"Nonsense! How would I know? I didn't let you report it to the authorities because I didn't want to ruin the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Shen felt guilty, her eyes flickered, but her tone was very firm.

Chu Wanyu folded her arms in disbelief and looked over with a half-smile: "I must find the silver today, otherwise..."

As she spoke, she was about to get into the carriage.

Shen was sweating with anxiety: "Even if you report it to the police, what's the use? The silver jewelry all looks the same..."

"No no no..."

Chu Wanyu pretended to be mysterious and lowered her voice, "I only told this secret to my mother. To prevent the silver from being stolen, I tampered with the purse and banknotes. They have a special smell. As long as we report it to the police, we will definitely get it back!"

"you……"

I didn't expect Chu Wanyu to have a backup plan.

Shen gnashed her teeth in hatred, her face twisted: "Come back quickly, I will help you find the silver!"

"That won't do. I want compensation for mental damage, at least another five thousand taels!"

puff!

Shen had already heard the sound of vomiting blood.

The words of refusal came to her lips, but she swallowed them back and said with a sullen face, "Okay, you go back first, the money will be here soon!"

The situation is stronger than people.

In order not to alert the authorities.

Shen had no choice but to send the silver back and lost five thousand taels.

……

"Miss, Madam ordered a search. This was found in the servants' room. Please take a look, Miss!"

The nanny from Shen's courtyard came over in person and presented the purse with both hands.

Looking at her bulging purse, Chu Wanyu was extremely satisfied: "Go back and thank my wife for me. He is welcome to come again next time!"

The nanny looked unhappy and turned away quickly.

"Wow, young lady is amazing!" Lan Dai looked at the silver with her eyes shining: "A few days ago, young lady was still a pauper, and now she has become a wealthy woman!"

Chu Wanyu waved her hand modestly: "Keep a low profile, there will be more money in the future!"

It was pitch black at night, and Chu Wanyu arrived at the place Lan Dai had inquired about.

She kicked the door open and put the dagger directly to the neck of the person on the bed: "Don't move, or you will be in danger of your life!"

"Hero, heroine, please show some mercy and spare Liu's life. I have plenty of silver here!"

The old Taoist priest was sloppy and took out several silver bills directly from the pillow.

Chu Wanyu took a look and looked away, "I don't lack banknotes, but I have something to ask for!"

She took out a piece of paper and spread it out in front of the Taoist priest: "Look carefully, and do as the paper says when you get to the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise..."

Apply slight force to your wrist.

A streak of bright red blood flowed out of the wound.

The old Taoist priest was so frightened that he lost his mind and nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely listen to you, I will definitely listen to you!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing!" Chu Wanyu generously took out a banknote: "This is double what the other party paid. You're getting a great deal!"

"Yes Yes!"

A breeze blew, and the kicked-down door swayed in the wind.

The old Taoist looked up cautiously, but the room was already empty.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, an old Taoist priest was holding a whisk in his hand and muttering to himself.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shen's face was filled with worry. "Please ask the Taoist priest to carefully check if there is any evil spirit in the house!"

"Wulian Tianzun!" The old Taoist pretended to be mysterious, closed his eyes, and kept groping around.

After a moment, he looked fixedly at the direction of Chu Wanyu's yard: "Where are you escaping to?"

The old Taoist walked quickly, and Shen lowered her head to hide the smile in her eyes.

You little bitch, this time I will make sure you die without a burial place.

The group soon arrived outside Chu Wanyu's courtyard. Shen pretended to be surprised: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the young lady?"

The old Taoist nodded profoundly: "Here..."

Yes, there are evil spirits that use fire to burn.

Seeing that the old Taoist priest was reluctant to speak, Shen wanted to do it for him.

"There is a person here who is possessed by an evil spirit. The only way to keep the Prime Minister's Mansion safe is to burn him!"

"Who is that? No matter who it is, for the safety of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has no choice but to be sacrificed!"

After saying this, Shen held up the handkerchief and pretended to be compassionate.

Chu Wanyu walked out of the yard, her red lips parted: "It's really lively here!"

Eyes facing each other.

The old Taoist priest was so frightened that he trembled and said quickly: "The person who was possessed by the evil spirit is..."

The dust in his hand swept over the crowd and paused for a moment in front of Chu Wanyu.

When Shen saw this, the excitement in her eyes almost overflowed.

Chu Wanyu remained calm and composed, not minding at all, with a smile on her face and eyebrows curved.

Just when everyone thought that Chu Wanyu was the one possessed by the evil spirit, the old Taoist waved his arm and changed direction to point at the wet nurse beside Shen.

"What? You must have seen it wrong!"

Shen was panicked and quickly spoke, blinking her eyes repeatedly to hint.

Unfortunately, his eyes were almost cramping from blinking.

The old Taoist still turned a blind eye and said confidently: "It's this man. Quick, build the firewood and burn him..."

"What are you waiting for? Go now!"

Seeing that no one moved, Chu Wanyu shouted angrily.

Those cold eyes and intimidating gaze made the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion dare not disobey and immediately do it.
