Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Upon hearing that they hadn't been captured, Qingwu immediately stood up, leaped onto the roof, and looked around. She then climbed down from the roof. "Master," she said, "the inn isn't far from us. Let's hurry."

Liu Siyue followed Qingwu and after a few turns, they arrived at the back window of the inn. Qingwu leaped up, grabbed the windowsill, and lowered the rope down. Liu Siyue climbed up the rope.

With the window closed, Liu Siyue finally felt relieved. Sitting at the table, she gasped for breath. She quickly took off her night clothes and told Qingwu to do the same. She put the clothes into her spatial storage, and the two of them lay down on the bed in the dark.

"Master, are you afraid tonight?"

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid we'll get arrested."

"Qingwu, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

"Master, there's no need to apologize. I just want to know how we escaped. I think I was knocked unconscious."

Liu Siyue knew she would ask that question, and had already prepared her answer.

"You were knocked unconscious by the guards. I carried you over into a house and hid in their cellar to escape."

After those people left, I carried you back to the inn, but I got lost and had to wake you up.

Qingwu listened to Liu Siyue's account, which was full of loopholes, but she didn't expose them. No matter how her master did it, it was good that they were safe and sound. If her master didn't say anything, she must have her reasons.

Qingwu noticed her master's unsteady breathing and sensed something was wrong. "Master, are you injured?"

"It's nothing, just a minor injury. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep." She originally planned to wait until Qingwu fell asleep, then go into her spatial dimension to drink some spiritual spring water, and she would be better in a couple of days.

Qingwu immediately got out of bed and lit the lamp. "Master, where are you injured?"

"I was slapped on the back. Those people are really cunning. I thought they had all left, but I didn't expect that they had left someone to lie in wait. I was discovered not far away, and then a fight broke out. In the end, I knocked that person unconscious and crippled his limbs."

"You didn't silence them?"

"no."

"Damn it, the authorities will definitely conduct a city-wide search tomorrow, and the wound on my back will be their evidence."

"Master, let me heal your wounds first, then I'll deal with the person."

"Master, quickly take off your clothes so I can take a look. Don't hurt yourself."

"It's really nothing, no need to look."

"The internal injuries aren't visible yet; he might not wake up again."

Knowing she couldn't win against her, Liu Siyue took off her top. Qingwu brought the lamp closer and, upon closer inspection, saw bruises all over her back. "Master, your injuries are quite severe. Do you feel dizzy or nauseous?"

"No, I just feel very sleepy." As she was speaking, she spat out a mouthful of blood. "Master, you have indeed recovered from your internal injuries. It's good that you spat out this blood, so it won't accumulate in your body and form blood clots that could block your heart meridian."

I'm using my inner strength to heal you now. If only I had brought the water pouch my master gave me last time, it would have helped with the magic water inside, and you would have recovered even faster.

"Master, close your eyes and sit cross-legged in meditation."

Liu Siyue did as instructed, sitting cross-legged and closing her eyes. She gently circulated her inner energy, placing one hand on Liu Siyue's back and the other on her arm. Liu Siyue felt a warm current flowing into her body, and her heavy body became more comfortable. A thin layer of sweat covered her forehead.

Qingwu was soaked through. She got out of bed, took a handkerchief, and dried Liu Siyue's back. She put the clothes down, and Liu Siyue had already fallen asleep sitting up.

He laid the person flat and immediately jumped out of the back window, heading straight for the scene of the incident. She searched everywhere for the guard's whereabouts. As she walked forward, she saw a person lying on the ground. Looking at his clothes and then at his limbs, she saw that his tendons had indeed been severed. She immediately snapped the person's neck and returned to the inn without stopping.

After a night of commotion, the sky was already beginning to lighten, and dawn was approaching. What kind of actions would the prefectural city take today?

The head guard rushed back to the prefect's residence and immediately checked the situation inside. The mansion was brightly lit, and the servants and guards carefully searched the place. First, they sent someone to check if the prefect and his wife were safe and sound. The head maid in charge of the mansion immediately went in to check. The door was open, the courtyard was quiet, and the two maids in the outer room were sleeping peacefully. She lit the candles in the room and went to the inner room.

She wasn't paying attention to where she was going, tripped, and fell to the ground. When she touched something soft and mushy, she immediately screamed, "Help! Someone help!"

The people outside immediately rushed in with torches and found three people lying on the ground. The old woman immediately knelt down and checked the breathing of the prefect and his wife. They were still alive.

All the lights in the room were on, but the two people couldn't be woken up no matter what they did. They splashed water on their faces and pinched their philtrum, but they still wouldn't wake up. The guard stepped forward to check and pressed two acupoints. "Don't worry, the master and madam are fine. They were just put to sleep by someone pressing their acupoints. They will wake up in a quarter of an hour."

"Head guard, there are two young girls outside. Could you check if they've also been acupunctured?"

One of the guards went out to check and found that they had indeed been put to sleep by acupressure. He released the pressure points on the two women and waited for them to wake up on their own.

A moment later, the butler came running in, panting, "Master, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened..."

The head guard's face darkened. "Butler, what happened?"

"The master's study has been burglarized."

"The adult's bedroom was also burglarized, but fortunately the adult's life is not in danger. He was just immobilized by pressure points and will wake up soon."

The steward was devastated, wondering how the master would react when he woke up. So many people couldn't even keep an eye on this house, not only causing the master to be humiliated but also resulting in the theft of so much valuables. It was truly a dereliction of duty.

"Captain, didn't you discover the thief? Have you caught him?"

"The thief was very cunning; he disappeared as soon as he reached the door of a house."

The butler snorted coldly. If you're incompetent, just admit it. Why make up such a lame excuse? Just wait for the master's wrath.

Just as the head guard had predicted, Prefect Cai and his wife woke up in less than fifteen minutes. The steward immediately rushed forward and knelt down with a thud, "Master, something's happened to Fuli!"

Prefect Cai felt sore all over. "What happened? What time is it? Why are you making such a fuss?"

"The master's study has been burglarized, and your and your wife's bedroom has also been burglarized."

Prefect Cai sat up abruptly in bed. "What? What did you say? Say it again."

"The master's study has been burgled, and your and your wife's bedroom has also been burgled."

Prefect Cai, without even bothering to put on his clothes, immediately got off the bed and pulled his wife down as well. Lifting the bed, they saw that the dark room was still open. She took a lamp and went downstairs, then quickly came back up.

Madam Cai immediately grabbed the prefect's arm, "Sir, what's the situation inside?"

"Everything was taken away; there was nothing left."

She hurriedly walked towards the study. The door to the secret room in the study was open, and he knew the outcome without even looking. But he was still unwilling to accept it and had to see it with his own eyes.

The study's hidden room was also empty. It was all over. All his savings over the years were gone, all of it had benefited others. He clenched his fists so tightly they cracked. If I caught him, I would tear the thief to pieces.

After leaving the secret room, Prefect Cai calmed himself down. "Even if all these things were moved from the manor, it would still require a lot of people and effort. Didn't any of you servants, guards, or secret agents notice?"

The steward quickly said, "Master, we've found traces of the thief in the manor. The head guard said he lost track of him; he vanished into thin air right before our eyes."
