Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

The sun shone through the window and fell on the half-closed brocade curtains.

The lingering scent of sex inside the tent hadn't dissipated when the woman peeked out, intending to take a contraceptive potion. The man pulled her back, saying, "Have another one."

The woman scolded him, "We had my sister raise our son before, but we switched her child with someone else's."

Now that she has been sterilized, how can we send the child back to her?

"We'll raise them ourselves."

The man smiled mysteriously, "She won't live more than a month. After she dies, I'll marry you."

He has already given his wife a slow-acting poison; a few more doses and she will be gone.

The woman was overjoyed, "Our family can finally be reunited?"

"Not only that, but from now on, if you treat your own son well, people will also think you are a kind-hearted stepmother."

The man was very pleased with his scheme, thinking, "Her vast fortune will all be ours."

Gui Yao leaned against a pillar with her arms crossed, quietly watching the two of them.

No one noticed her arrival. The woman kissed the man, saying, "I finally don't have to envy her anymore."

"Why envy her? On our wedding night, I'll throw her to a beggar and sleep with you."

The man lifted the woman's chin and said, "You're the one who's truly been my wife all these years."

I used hallucinogens to make sure we had sex; I didn't even touch her.

The woman, her eyes filled with seductive allure, wrapped her arms around the man's neck. "I know my brother-in-law treats me well, so I'll repay you, okay?"

Before long, the bed curtains began to sway again.

Gui Yao, tired of looking at it, spoke up, "Not big enough, weak kidneys, and your moans are even more fake. You two are actually a good match."

The tent fell silent.

The man abruptly sat up, pulling the blanket over himself to cover himself. "Who?"

The woman screamed and hid behind the man, "What are you going to do?"

Gui Yao flicked her finger, and the bed curtains parted. She smiled at the two of them, "Gui Yao, I've been asked to come here to catch someone in adultery."

The warm spring air on the bed was suddenly replaced by a cool breeze.

The man's pupils contracted.

The first thing that catches the eye is the dazzling black: a black dress and a black hat. The dress is made of black gauze woven with gold thread, and the tassels on the hat are like drops of black water strung together, hanging down to the waist. Under the candlelight, they emit a dazzling light, making it impossible to see the face of the person under the hat.

Below that were a pair of fair, bare feet, with silver bells woven from five-colored threads adorning their ankles.

But he hadn't heard a single bell ring. The doors and windows were tightly shut, and there were martial arts masters hired at great expense guarding the outside.

How did this woman get in?

"Someone come here!"

The man shouted towards the door.

Regardless of how she got in, now that she's uncovered his secret, she can't be left alive.

Besides, she just dared to mock his male dignity!

But there was no sound from outside. Instead, Gui Yao spoke again, "Did you see what happened just now? Did you hear it all?"

She was facing the inside of the bed.

The woman hiding behind the man was suddenly terrified.

There was no one else on the bed except them; the inside of the bed was a wall.

Who is she talking to?

What terrified her even more was that Gui Yao remained motionless, but the bells on her feet suddenly rang.

"Ring ring, ring ring..."

Gui Yao nodded. "Okay, hurry up."

These words were clearly not spoken to the two people in bed.

A chill ran down the man's spine. "Stop playing tricks. What exactly do you want?"

Gui Yao glanced at him, "People with kidney deficiency really do have hearing problems too."

The man naturally heard what she said.

The person who could send someone to catch the adulterer was probably his wife, Zhao Mingyue.

But it was still the first month of the lunar calendar, and it was very cold. This woman was dressed in gauze and barefoot, and her words and actions were strange. He couldn't help but think of other things.

His wife wasn't the only one making him feel guilty.

"Whoever you do a favor for, I'll give you double what they can give you."

As he spoke, he grabbed his trousers and robe and put them on, then moved to the pillow and pulled out a dagger.

Gui Yao seemed not to have seen his movements. She turned around, took a plate of dried fruit from the table, and lay down leisurely on the chaise longue by the window, her bare feet swinging comfortably.

The bells on her feet made no sound at all.

The woman felt a chill run down her spine, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She gripped the man's arm tightly.

The two stared at each other, exchanging silent glances. The next instant, the man leaped from the bed, dagger in hand, and attacked Gui Yao.

puff!

Before he even got close, Gui Yao threw the dried fruit in her hand at him.

The man was immobilized in the room.

"what!"

The woman could no longer contain herself and screamed as she ran out the door.

The door, which was bolted from the inside, was impossible for her to open no matter how hard she tried. After several failed attempts, she leaned against the door, staring at Gui Yao in terror.

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

My brother-in-law has practiced martial arts since childhood, and he can sense any unusual presence in the house, but this person appeared without a sound.

Gui Yao picked up some dried apricots and was about to put them in her mouth when she heard this, and her hand paused slightly.

Tilting his head, he asked the woman, "What do you think?"

Since she had memories, she has lost her five senses and her seven emotions and six desires. Although she is called a ghost, she has the body temperature and shadow of a human, and she also needs to eat and drink to maintain her life.

Is it a person?

With a wave of her hand, the clothes the man had finally managed to put on instantly shattered into pieces and slipped off his body.

With another flick, his naked body fell back onto the bed, limp as mud, unable to utter a sound.

Perhaps she can't even be considered human.

As she moved, her eyes, hidden beneath the tassels, blazed red like flames.

Upon seeing this, the woman was so frightened that she knelt down with a thud.

"Please spare my life, immortal! We are both women, why do you make things difficult for us? If you release me, I will offer you incense and prayers every day from now on."

Gui Yao popped the dried apricot into her mouth. Interesting. Does this guy think she's a ghost?

"Bai Daya was sold to a brothel by her parents when she was ten years old, but was rescued by Zhao Mingyue, the daughter of a wealthy merchant."

You used sweet words to coax Zhao Mingyue into taking you home, making you an adopted daughter of the Zhao family, and changing your name to Zhao Xing'er.

Gui Yao glanced at the man on the bed, her fiery eyes returning to normal. "Zhao Mingyue treats you like a younger sister..."

How will you repay her?

No need for further words; the sarcasm is sufficient.

Gui Yao took another plate of pastries and continued eating. Only by taking orders could she form a contract to borrow her employer's five senses, seven emotions, and six desires, and become a normal person.

Once the mission is complete, the contract will end, and the sense of taste will disappear, making eating taste like chewing wax. Gui Yao has no intention of wasting any time.

Zhao Xing'er was filled with hatred and fear. She wanted to coax Gui Yao into letting her go, but before she could speak, she was thrown back into the man's arms by a great force.

Before she could even get up, the bell rang again, this time seemingly coming from a great distance, penetrating through something.

Almost simultaneously, the door was kicked open from the outside, and a group of people rushed in.

Leading the group was Zhao Mingyue, who was in her early twenties. She had a dignified and elegant appearance, wore a dark blue long dress with wide sleeves and dark floral patterns, and had bloodshot eyes.

Behind him followed a group of maids and servants, as well as several yamen runners in official uniforms. At the entrance, two male protagonists dressed as guards lay slumped on the ground.

Upon seeing the two naked figures piled together on the bed, Zhao Mingyue's lips trembled, and her eyes widened in horror.

"Sister, husband, how...how could you..."

Her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, "How could you be so filthy and despicable?"

Zhao Xing'er turned pale with fright and hurriedly explained, "Sister, it's not what you think. Listen to me, we were framed."

She suddenly felt a little fortunate that there was such a strange presence in the room.

But when the finger pointed to the chaise longue, there was no trace of Guiyao left.
