The young men received the order and cleaned up the talisman papers at the scene first.

We need to let the officials come and take over, and it would be better to pack up some things.

Lu Zhaoling's abilities have already spread throughout the capital, but the commotion here is too loud, so it would be better to eliminate most of her traces, which might save her a lot of trouble.

While they were cleaning up, Lu Zhaoling said to Zhou Shiyue, "Those stones..."

"Want it?" Zhou Shiyue understood what she meant before she finished speaking.

"Can't have it?"

"Yes, of course. If you want it, it's yours. I'll have someone move it back and ship it back to Beijing first." Zhou Shiyue had no objection at all.

"Leave a small piece..."

Before Lu Zhaoling finished speaking, Zhou Shiyue asked, "What magical instrument should we make first?"

"Hey, you're very clever today."

Lu Zhaoling looked at him in surprise. How come he knew what she meant before she even finished speaking?

"When am I not clever?"

Zhou Shiyue snorted, "So you don't have to wink at Junior Brother Yin. Just say what you want to say. How can I disagree?"

So he saw the look between her and the senior brother just now? She said, why did she fall in love with the game of "interrupting her".

Tsk.

"I know, I know. I want to make three thin stone knives."

Yin Yunting came over and said, "Your Majesty, can I have a share as well?"

Without waiting for Zhou Shiyue to speak, he added, "If I had a magic weapon, I could help Senior Sister even more."

Zhou Shiyue: “…Okay.”

He has said so now, can I still refuse?

There was a smile in Yin Yunting's eyes.

Little King Jin, take control.

"I'll go pick up a stone, you don't have to worry about it." Yin Yunting was very perceptive and let him do this kind of small thing.

Lu Zhaoling put her hand into Zhou Shiyue's and said, "Let's go check out the well."

"Is there anything else in the well?" Zhou Shiyue held her hand tightly and walked towards the well with her.

"What about me? What about me?"

Madam Sheng San immediately floated over.

How come they ignored her?

Lu Zhaoling looked back at her and suddenly realized, "I almost forgot about you."

Her eyes fell on the wooden box in Madam Sheng San's arms.

Madam Sheng San lowered her head following her gaze, and then showed a look of reluctance, but after hesitating for a moment, she still handed the box to Lu Zhaoling.

"I am a man of my words. You rescued me from the small building. I said I would give you all my jewelry. Here it is."

Lu Zhaoling opened the box and was blinded by the box full of jewels.

"I have saved these for several years, and several of them were given to me by Duan Lang." Madam Sheng San said, a little embarrassed, "I originally wanted to keep some as a souvenir, but it has been decades, and Duan Lang may no longer be alive. There is no point in keeping them, so I might as well give them all to you."

Lu Zhaoling asked curiously, "It was your Duan Lang's wife who had you killed, and you don't blame your Duan Lang?"

Madam Sheng San's eyes seemed a little dazed.

"At first I was resentful, but later I was bored staying in the small building, reminiscing about the past every day, and I found that Duan Lang brought me more happiness."

She sighed softly, "Besides, Duan Lang has never lied to me. He told me at the beginning that he had already married and his wife was jealous. He wanted to take me back and make me his concubine, but his wife would definitely not agree."

"At the time, he told me to be patient and wait here. He would find a suitable opportunity to plead with his wife and ask her to agree to this. He did not lie to me. After he returned, he confessed to his wife."

Lu Zhaoling didn't know what to say for a moment.

As for that scumbag Duan Lang, he is quite honest.

But you can say he is not a scumbag. He has already married a wife, but he still goes out to have fun. He falls in love with Miss Sheng San and wants to take her home to enjoy the happiness of having two wives.

However, that was the way things were in that era. It was common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, so in Madam Sheng San's heart, Duan Lang was already a very good man.

"Mrs. Duan can't tolerate me."

Madam Sheng San smiled sadly again.

"The first time she came to warn me, telling me not to seduce her husband and not to meet him again. It was me who couldn't help myself, and I always felt that Duan Lang would have a way."

At that time, she also wanted to have a good man to take her away from the world.

It is always better to serve a man you like than to serve countless men.

She wanted to hold on to such a man and was unwilling to let go.

"Nan Shao is too far away. Even if Duan Lang knew that his wife had sent someone to attack me, he would not have been able to rescue me in time..."

Before Madam Sheng San finished her words, Lu Zhaoling opened her eyes wide and interrupted her, "Where? Where did you say?"

"Nan Shao."

Madam Sheng San looked at her and reacted, "Didn't I tell you? Duan Lang is from Nanshao Mansion, but he does some business here, so he comes here occasionally."

Lu Zhaoling looked at Zhou Shiyue.

People from Nanshao Prefecture.

Zhou Shiyue was looking at the box in her hand, which contained a jade hairpin.

Madam Sheng San also noticed that his eyes fell on the jade hairpin. She thought for a moment and said, "This jade hairpin was the first gift Duan Lang gave me. It was the one he used before, so it can be considered a keepsake."

The man used a small hair crown with a hairpin on it to fix the crown. This hairpin was not made too feminine.

Zhou Shiyue picked up the jade hairpin, held it higher, and looked through the light at the hollow space inside.

There, there is a pattern of a shining sun engraved.

Lu Zhaoling also came over to watch.

When she saw the pattern, an idea suddenly occurred to her mind, and she asked Madam Sheng San, "What is the status of your Duan Lang in Nanshao? His status must be unusual, right? Otherwise, his wife would not be able to find such a powerful person to hurt you."

Madam Sheng San was a little confused after hearing this.

"What identity? He didn't tell me, just that my family is well off in Nanshao and I won't suffer if I go there. When we were together, Duan Lang also promised me that he would be able to give me a life of luxury. I guess the Duan family is just rich."

"It's more than just money."

Zhou Shiyue said this.

Lu Zhaoling understood immediately. He must have known the background of this Duan man.

"Let's talk about it later."

Zhou Shiyue said to Lu Zhaoling, "Return the hairpin to her, and you can take the rest."

He originally wanted Lu Zhaoling to come to terms with it and accept the whole box of things, but now that he saw that the hairpin had been used by a man, he didn't want her to accept it.

How unlucky.

Dislike it.

Lu Zhaoling had the same idea.

She returned the hairpin to Madam Sheng San.

Madam Sheng San took it as a treasure.

"Then should I follow you now?" she asked Lu Zhaoling.

Lu Zhaoling really wanted to refuse.

Why does she bring so many ghosts?
