Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

Madam Zang placed the gifts on the table, saying, "It's just a small token of my appreciation; I hope you won't find it offensive, young lady."

Gui Yao looked at the gifts, paused slightly, and smiled, "Madam is too kind. But why did you carry them yourself without a servant to help?"

"I……"

Madam Zang forced a smile. "To be honest, I upset my husband a while ago, and he forbids me from going out whenever I want. I came out today without telling him."

Gui Yao scrutinized her deathly pale face. "Madam, besides expressing your gratitude, is there anything else you wish to discuss with me?"

"Nothing can be hidden from the girl."

Madam Zang smiled shyly.

"I've heard that Xuanji Tower is a place that helps women resolve their troubles. Is that true?"

Gui Yao nodded. "What does Madam want me to do?"

"My request is somewhat absurd."

Lady Zang wrung out her handkerchief, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Can the Xuanji Tower reverse time?"

Gui Yao apologized, "I'm sorry, Madam, Xuanji Tower cannot fulfill this request."

However, may I ask you, madam, why did you choose to let time pass by? Is there anything you regret?

Perhaps if I look at it another way, I have another way to help you.

Lady Zang fell silent for a moment, then said, "I want to go back to the time before I married my husband."

"You don't want to marry Lord Zang?"

Gui Yao asked patiently, "Has Lord Zang treated you badly?"

No, it's not.

Madam Zang quickly waved her hand, her expression somewhat sad, "My husband is very good, and he treats me well too."

She paused, her face darkening with even more sorrow, "But I don't want to marry him again."

When Gui Yao took on Zhao Mingyue's case, he inquired about Zang Lan and found him to be an upright and kind person.

But she had also heard things like, "A good man may not necessarily be a good husband."

But Lady Zang is already Zang Lan's wife, and that is an irreversible fact.

However, the fact that I can see her willpower means that her problem can be solved by Xuanji Tower.

Gui Yao waited for her to reveal her true wish.

Madam Zang stood up, somewhat absent-minded, "I was confused. How can time go back to the past? Just like there's no medicine for regret in this world..."

Her voice grew softer and softer.

"lady?"

Gui Yao called out.

Madam Zang snapped out of her reverie and smiled apologetically at Guiyao, "I'm sorry to have bothered you. I should go back now, or my husband will be angry if he finds out I secretly went out..."

Gui Yao escorted her to the door, and looking at the deathly aura swirling outside, he still offered a word of advice.

"Madam, although Xuanji Tower cannot reverse time, it can satisfy your true inner desires. Madam, you may come anytime you need."

"What I truly desire? My desire is to go back to the time before I married him..."

Madam Zang murmured to herself as she walked lightly out.

As soon as she stepped out of Xuanji Tower, the surging deathly aura enveloped her tightly, as if pushing her forward.

Gui Yao watched her leave and then returned to Xuanji Tower.

Qingqing waited in the front hall with the jewelry blueprints in hand. "Miss, is Maodan back?"

She was designing a new piece of jewelry, but she was unsure about one of the patterns and wanted to ask Gui Yao for advice. Before she even reached the front hall, she heard Gui Yao talking and thought that a guest had come to the building.

When she arrived at the front hall, she only saw Gui Yao walking towards the courtyard gate, saying something to the void.

She figured the girl was talking to Mao Dan, since Mao Dan always liked to hide in the girl's sleeve, which she couldn't see from behind.

Gui Yao glanced at the non-existent gift on the table and laughed, "No, I'm studying. What treasure did you get this time?"

Sister Mingyue said that the jewelry you made is very popular, and she wants to give you a reward.

"real?"

Qingqing's attention was quickly diverted, and she stopped thinking about why Guiyao suddenly started reciting.

"What do you think of this one? What pattern would be best for this area?"

Gui Yao took the drawings, examined them carefully, and offered her suggestions.

Qingqing nodded repeatedly, "You're really something, young lady."

Then, a question arose: "Miss, why do I feel like you know so much about jewelry, as if you've seen it all?"

Gui Yao covered his face with his sleeve, blinked, and said, "Your daughter is exceptionally talented; she excels at everything she does."

Qingqing had gotten used to her boasting and thought she made sense.

The girl is indeed very capable in every way.

but.

"Young lady, I learned my craft from the Ghost Market. Won't selling it so widely attract their attention?"

Her fear of the ghost market ran deep in her bones.

Gui Yao replied calmly, "If they're not paying attention, how can I get the antidote for you?"

Qingqing still carries the poison from the Ghost Market.

Not wanting to frighten her, Gui Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

You can't make good jewelry if you're constantly on edge.

With her assurance, Qingqing felt much more at ease and was about to return to the backyard to continue her work.

Mao Dan hurriedly flew back, "Master, the capital is bustling again."

"What's all the commotion about?"

Qingqing stayed in Xuanji Tower every day, and occasionally felt bored. So she also fell in love with listening to Maodan talk about gossip outside, and hurriedly asked.

Mao Dan took a sip of water from his small cup and said, "Cang Lan's in-laws came to our door, saying that Zang Lan murdered his wife and demanding that he compensate them for their daughter."

"Lord Zang, the Prefect of Jingzhao?"

Qingqing was surprised, "Isn't he a good official? How could he harm his wife?"

She was present when the Gu family was interrogated and heard many people praising Lord Zang.

Mao Dan said, "Zang Lan also denied murdering his wife, saying that his wife was still alive and well. His wife's family then asked to see Madam Zang, but Zang Lan refused."

"What reason did he give?"

I returned to the unknown place and asked about the hairy egg.

There is no reason.

Mao Dan shook his head. "Lord Zang just won't let the Yue family into the house, and he's even sent away a lot of servants. It's really strange."

It asked Gui Yao, "Master, do you think Lady Zang might really have been killed by Lord Zang?"

Otherwise, why wouldn't she let her family see her?

Gui Yao shook her head thoughtfully, "Find out why Madam Zang married Zang Lan."

Mao Dan obeyed and flew away again.

The following day, Lady Zang's family came to the door again, threatening to take their complaint to the Emperor if they were not allowed to see Lady Zang.

But it was just talk; they didn't actually sue. Canglan still refused to let them visit and even closed his residence to guests.

The time was not yet ripe for Madam Zang's wish to act, so Gui Yao instructed Mao Dan to keep an eye on the Zang family's movements and not to intervene for the time being.

In the case of the Mountain God, she formed a bond with several victims and reaped considerable benefits.

Unlike Chen Can and the other two, the woman Xiao Huaijin finally found not only wanted to rescue Madam Gu, but also wanted the murderer to be punished.

Therefore, Gui Yao's five senses will not disappear until Gu Laoda, Cheng Le, and others are executed.

She should take this opportunity to reorganize Changxiangsi.

Li Deshun lent her some men, but apart from those patrons who were released yesterday, the rest are still being held up at Changxiangsi by the Imperial Guards.

The emperor promised that the Longing for You was hers, and that every person and object within it belonged to her.

While Gui Yao was carefully questioning the people from Chang Xiang Si, the Crown Prince also arrived at the Imperial Study.

"Father, I have investigated and found that the Gu family, the Yang family, and the case of Tong Qingyuan of the Cheng'an Marquis's mansion all involve a woman named Gui Yao."

Could it be, as Cheng Le previously suggested, that she is a pawn sent by Nan Yao to disrupt the court of Da Sheng, given her close relationship with Prince Nan Yao?
