Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

"My husband."

Lady Zang was in tears, saying, "The one who was wrong wasn't you, it was me!"

"What do you mean by that, Madam?"

Zang Lan asked cautiously.

Gui Yao said that the lady cared most about him and the children, so he wanted to use their misery to provoke her.

Given the current state of the lady, has she already broken free from the shackles of the evil curse?

"I trusted them too much."

Madam Zang recalled her last visit to her parents' home, and her fingers clenched tightly.

"I didn't want to die. My younger sister told me to go home and commit suicide. My body wouldn't obey me."

She hung herself from the roof beam with a white silk ribbon, and when she woke up, she forgot that her younger sister had manipulated her.

"My little sister seems to have some kind of evil magic."

Thinking of her youngest sister inevitably brings to mind what she just saw in the mirror, how casually she said she wanted to kill Wanwan.

It was as if Wanwan wasn't her blood-related niece, but rather an insignificant weed.

"Let's go find the judge."

Lady Zang was worried about her daughter. "Please, Judge, save our daughter."

"Madam, the judges of the underworld do not concern themselves with human affairs."

Zang Lan didn't move. "The only way to save our daughter is through you."

"I?"

Madam Zang asked, puzzled, "How can I save her?"

"You still have a breath left. It has been five days since your soul left your body. There is still a chance for you to return to life."

"And what about you?"

Zang Lan grasped his wife's hand, "I will go back with you to protect our daughter."

"it is good."

Realizing something, Madam Zang turned and glanced back at the interrogation site before leaving.

The Prince of Shu puffed out his cheeks, and a suona horn sounded, like a death knell. Lady Zang hurriedly turned around and followed Zang Lan away.

She remembered everything; in fact, she had already sensed something was wrong with her family before her younger sister used evil magic on her.

When her younger sister told her to commit suicide, her father, brothers, sisters, and younger brother were all present, and none of them stopped her.

She even overheard her father telling her younger sister, "Once your second sister dies, we'll go and make a scene at her door."

"Zang Lan doesn't want to bear the stigma of murdering his wife, so he has to marry you. After you become Mrs. Zang, you can't be like your second sister, ignoring your family."

"Don't worry, Father."

The elder brother chimed in, "Little sister isn't as muddle-headed as second sister. This Cang Lan is upright and has a good reputation, and is also highly regarded by His Majesty."

With him covering for our family from now on, how can we worry about our family not prospering? Everyone being well is truly good. It's just that my second sister can't see things clearly..."

Madam Zang shook her head, temporarily suppressing those painful memories.

The most important thing right now is to get back as soon as possible, back to my daughter's side.

Regardless of whether this underworld court is real or fake, it is true that her mother conspired with the whole family to deceive and scheme against her before her death.

"This old servant never imagined that he would have the chance to play the role of a ghost official alongside the young lady in this lifetime."

After the Tibetan couple left.

Li Deshun closed the book in his hand, grinning from ear to ear.

He was off duty today and had planned to visit the young master that night, but unexpectedly, the young master had something to attend to.

He wanted to spend more time with his young master, so he shamelessly asked if he could come along.

Unexpectedly, the young master agreed without hesitation.

The young master still trusts him as before.

The Prince of Shu also said, "I never imagined that learning the suona would come to this."

Gui Yao smiled and said, "Thank you all for your hard work."

She asked the Prince of Shu, "Brother, I still need to go to the Treasury. Could you please have everyone wait for me at your residence?"

"no problem."

The Prince of Shu readily agreed.

Zhao Mingyue, who was dressed as a female ghost escort, hesitated for a moment, "The child is still at home, so I'll go back first."

Gui Yao contacted her yesterday, saying that he needed a female underworld official to help him pretend to interrogate a female ghost tonight.

If she could help Gui Yao, Zhao Mingyue would certainly not refuse.

But she didn't expect the Prince of Shu to be there as well. Now that she knows some things, she doesn't want to have too much contact with him for the time being.

Gui Yao put her arm around her shoulder and walked to the side. "Sister Mingyue, do you know who that chubby person is?"

Zhao Mingyue didn't know.

"Li Deshun, the chief eunuch in His Majesty's service."

Gui Yao said in a low voice, "I know everything about you. Let me tell you slowly later."

If you no longer wish to associate with the Prince of Shu, then your cooperation with His Majesty will require a new intermediary, and Eunuch Li is an excellent choice.

Zhao Mingyue was surprised, but she also realized that it was a rare opportunity to come into contact with someone who was close to the emperor.

She nodded. "Thank you, Gui Yao."

The female ghost and the other underworld officials were all people from Prince Jin's mansion in disguise; they could return to the mansion first.

After settling the rest of the people in, Gui Yao took Xiao Huaijin's hand and said, "Let's go, Your Highness."

Xiao Huaijin smiled and said, "Okay."

Li Deshun subconsciously wanted to ask why the young master wanted to bring Xiao Huaijin along, so that he could help if anything happened.

But considering that she and her young master had not yet officially recognized each other, she didn't know how to bring it up.

Little did he know that Gui Yao did not want Xiao Huaijin to go to the Prince of Shu's residence.

The Prince of Shu was the emperor's beloved nephew, and there were bound to be spies from other forces in his residence.

Xiao Huaijin, a prince from another country, appearing at the Prince's Mansion in the middle of the night, inevitably aroused suspicion.

But the prince put in so much effort and resources to help her put on this show, and then he just left her alone after using her. It seems a bit hurtful.

Gui Yao was unaware that she had begun to care about the prince's feelings.

After shedding his judge's attire, he and Xiao Huaijin arrived at the Zang residence using their light-footed skills. Zang Lan and Madam Zang had just arrived at the room where Madam Zang's physical body was placed.

"Guiyao, my dear girl."

When Madam Zang saw her, she was very excited. "Please, young lady, help me."

Gui Yao nodded, channeled some spiritual energy into his wrist, and pulled up Madam Zang's soul, pressing her into his body.

After a short while, Lady Zang slowly opened her eyes.

"lady."

Zang Lan stepped forward, helped the woman up, held her hand tightly, and her eyes reddened.

"Madam is fine now, please rest well tonight."

Gui Yao looked at Madam Zang and said, "Your family doesn't know your current situation."

But I imagine they won't wait long before they come back to cause trouble, and then I'll come over again.

She needs to find out about the Soul-Capturing Needle.

She also had to deal with the parasites in Madam Zang's family.

This peace was established by her, and she will not allow others to squander it.

The couple were so grateful that they wished they could kneel down before Gui Yao.

Gui Yao smiled and avoided the conversation, saying, "Madam has been separated from her soul for many days. She must miss your daughter very much. I won't disturb your family reunion any longer."

Xiao Huaijin waited for her outside and escorted her to the outside of the Prince of Shu's residence. "Go on with your work. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Gui Yao smiled and said, "Perfect timing, I'd like to have some clothes made tomorrow."

The two agreed to separate before parting.

When Gui Yao entered the room, Zhao Mingyue was talking to Li Deshun, with the Prince of Shu sitting opposite her, but she never glanced at him.

Seeing Gui Yao return, Zhao Mingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have something to say to Sister Mingyue."

Gui Yao said to the other two, "Brother and Deshun, go and rest in the side hall for a while."

The Prince of Shu naturally noticed Zhao Mingyue's aloofness and was hoping that Gui Yao would help him reconcile. Upon hearing this, he quickly got up.

But he found that Li Deshun was faster than him, and he became suspicious. Why did Eunuch Li listen to Gui Yao so much?

Out of curiosity, I chased after them.

Gui Yao looked at him, shook her head, and complained to Zhao Mingyue, "You're so carefree."

Zhao Mingyue didn't reply and lowered her head.

"Sister Mingyue, how much do you know?"

"He is that person."

Zhao Mingyue's face was grim. "That beggar who forced himself on me on my wedding night."

"It is indeed him."

Gui Yao grasped Zhao Mingyue's hand, "But he was also drugged."

She recounted how the Prince of Shu had helped disaster victims years ago, only to become one of them himself.

"He didn't force you; he's been looking for you all these years, wanting to marry you."

Zhao Mingyue looked at Gui Yao, "Gui Yao, you know I trust you a lot, but what I heard is not like that."

Heard?

Gui Yao frowned. "Who told you that?"

"I overheard Liu Zhanshi's wife discussing this matter with someone."

The Eastern Palace?

It's related to the Crown Prince again.

"What exactly did she say?"
