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

Night fell, and the streets were quiet. Lightly dancing, she moved through the air and soon reached the back window of the inn. She leaped up and climbed in through the window.

Liu Siyue was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. When she heard a noise in the room, she immediately made a defensive gesture on the bed.

Qingwu walked to the bedside. "Master, I'm back."

Liu Siyue sat up in bed. "How did things go?"

"Everything went smoothly. Come with me to the prefect's residence. They tried to escape, but I stopped them. There are dozens of carriages and goods parked in the courtyard."

"What? They're running away! Let's go check it out!"

The two jumped out of the window and crossed the street one after the other. They soon arrived at the prefect's residence. Instead of going through the gate, they climbed over the wall and entered.

"Master, Cai Mingqi had his men loot all the homes of the officials in the prefecture, and some were even silenced. That family over there was one that was silenced, and all the looted valuables are on the carriage."

I've already killed those experts. What do you want to do with the remaining people and valuables?

"Don't worry about the people. They've done so many bad things, someone else will take care of them. Excessive killing is not good for us. I'll handle the property."

"Master, do you need my help?"

"unnecessary."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door."

Liu Siyue glanced at Qingwu, wondering if she had guessed something. Never mind, she packed everything up first and would deal with it later. She put the carriage and its contents into her spatial storage and quickly left.

She jumped out of the courtyard and left with Qingwu.

Those who weren't injured in the courtyard had long since hidden themselves in fear. No one dared to come out, afraid that if they did, those two would launch a surprise attack. The carriages that had vanished into thin air only fueled their fear, and they could only wait helplessly for dawn.

Liu Siyue and the others returned to the inn, took off their night clothes, and got into bed in the dark. Neither of them could fall asleep.

Liu Siyue turned to Qingwu, "Qingwu, did you come back specifically to tell me about those valuables?"

"Um."

In the darkness, Liu Siyue smiled, "Don't you want to ask how I dealt with those valuables?"

"I don't want to. If Master wants to say something, I'll listen. If he doesn't want to say something, I won't ask. That's the rule."

Liu Siyue turned Qingwu's face towards her. "Qingwu, you're so cute, I like you so much! You can rest assured, I'm definitely not some evil spirit."

"No matter whether my master is a Buddha or a demon, in my heart, my master is a good person, and I will always be loyal to him without any disloyalty."

Liu Siyue kissed Qingwu on the cheek. "Go to sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Qingwu was stunned. Her mistress had actually kissed her. Liu Siyue fell asleep soon after, but Qingwu stayed awake until dawn.

As dawn broke, the people who had been hiding in the mansion dared to come out. Seeing that all the guards in the mansion were dead, they cautiously checked the breathing of the others. They found that they were still alive and were being shaken and pinched on the philtrum. Finally, they managed to wake them up.

Cai Mingqi still felt lingering fear when he thought about what happened that night. That mysterious person was more powerful than they had imagined; it was truly terrifying. Fortunately, they had escaped with their lives.

It was time to go to the yamen. The prefect sent someone to the yamen to announce that the city gates were open. The head constable was puzzled. The bandits hadn't been caught yet, so why were the city gates being opened?

When it was time to go to the yamen, some officials did not show up for their duties, and the prefect did not come either. The officials who did come immediately told the head constable that their residence had been ransacked by thieves the night before and asked the head constable to arrest the thieves.

The head constable immediately realized what was going on and led his men to check the homes of the officials who hadn't come. They found that all the officials' homes had been murdered. He then went with the other officials to find the prefect, only to learn that the prefect's residence had been robbed twice the previous night and all the guards in the residence were dead.

Several officials immediately looked at the prefect. "Sir, a high-ranking official of the imperial court has been murdered. This is a major incident. The criminal has not yet been caught. Why are you opening the city gates?"

"Can't you see? If we don't open the city gates, we'll all die. I have no choice but to do this."

"My lord, we cannot allow these thieves to continue their rampage. We should immediately report to the imperial court and order the garrison outside the city to enter and protect our safety."

"Yes, I have already made the arrangements. You may all continue with your duties. I am tired and need to rest. You may all leave now. The affairs of the yamen will be handled entirely by you gentlemen."

The officials were already dealing with the corpses from various prefectures, and the news quickly spread throughout the city. Everyone was talking about it. The city gates opened, and pedestrians came and went on the streets. The taverns and teahouses seemed even more lively, with everyone discussing the strange things that had happened in the past two days.

When Liu Siyue and Qingwu woke up, neither of them moved while lying in bed. "Qingwu, tell me about yesterday."

"Master, my inner strength has indeed increased greatly. I have eliminated all the people in the warehouse in the north of the city. I gave each of those girls one tael of silver and told them to leave at dawn."

The guards who chased us that night have all been killed by me, avenging my master's slap. I estimate that Prefect Cai will still leave, most likely tonight.

"Master, should I cause them some trouble?"

"No need, let them be. He lost so much stuff, his master will forgive him. He's just a piece of trash, no need to dirty your hands."

Get up, let's go find out where the black market in the prefectural city is, and buy some things tonight. We'll go see Ruxue later, I wonder how she is now.

Long time no see.

After washing up, the two went downstairs, and the innkeeper immediately came up to them with great enthusiasm, asking, "Would you two gentlemen like breakfast?"

"No need, we want to go out and try the local delicacies."

"I have some news for you two. Something terrible happened in the prefectural city last night. City officials were killed, the warehouse in the north of the city was looted, and the guards of the warehouse were killed. What's even stranger is that the city gates were opened today. In the past, when something like this happened, we would have to conduct a large-scale search, but this time it's different."

Be careful when you two go out; things might not be peaceful in the prefectural city lately.

Liu Siyue took out a few copper coins and handed them to the waiter. "Thanks for the reminder!"

The two left the inn. "Qingwu, go and find out about the black market. I'm going to check on Sister Wang. When you come back, wait for me at the inn."

"Yes, Master."

Wang Zhilan had once told Liu Siyue the location of her family home in the prefectural city. She asked passersby for directions and found the "Wang Residence." The gatehouse was very grand, and there was a gatekeeper standing at the entrance.

Liu Siyue stepped forward to greet him, "Excuse me, sir, is this the home of young master Wang Qing'an?"

"Who are you?"

"I am a friend of Young Master Wang and Miss Wang, and I have come from Lingshui County. Please inform them of my presence."

"May I ask your surname?"

"willow."

"Madam Liu, please wait a moment at the gatehouse. I'll go in and inform them right away."

Before long, hurried footsteps came from the courtyard. The first one to run out was Liu Ruxue. Her eyes reddened when she saw Liu Siyue, and she hugged her tightly. "Siyue, I missed you so much."

Do you really miss me?

"Of course I miss them, and I miss my family too."

Wang Zhilan also came out with a smile, stepped forward and took Liu Siyue's hand, "Sister Liu, when did you arrive in the prefectural city?"

The two walked in and talked. "We arrived the day before yesterday. We wanted to come earlier, but we came at a really bad time. Something happened in the prefectural city, and we were so scared that we hid in the inn and didn't dare to come out."

"Now that the city gates are open and the streets have reopened, I rushed over to see you all."

"Yes, the city has been peaceful these past few days. Perhaps it's time for those wicked people to pay the price."

Who did you come with?

"Light Dance".

She went out to run some errands.

Upon arriving at the reception room, Liu Siyue greeted Madam Wang, Master Wang, and Wang Qing'an. Wang Qing'an looked at Liu Siyue and said, "Siyue, come here, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Pei Wanyu."
