Magu happily took it and directly put it into her mouth. She looked at Zhou Ying and said, “Remember to bury me and let Xiao Xu go. He… He didn’t kill anyone.”
She spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, but shet still stared at Zhou Ying.
“Don’t worry, we won’t make things difficult for him.” Zhou Ying nodded.
Magu smiled when she saw this and stopped breathing.
At the same time, the coachman also breathed his last.
After that, the couple cleaned up the scene and wrapped the two corpses in a mat. They found a sunny place and buried them separately.
After she was done with her work, Zhou Ying took out some joss paper money stored in her interspace, burned a large pile for each of them, and went down the mountain after that.
When they returned to the capital, the sky had already darkened, and there were no longer many people on the streets.
The two went straight to the south of the city and first took a look at the two shops they had bought.
They didn’t expect a small restaurant to open on this street, too, and the business was good. Out of curiosity, the two of them went in for a meal.
They were surprised that there were only rice and stir-fried dishes. There were no real restaurant-level dishes at all.
The couple made do with a meal and finally drove the carriage to their shop to prepare some water and fodder for the horses.
The two of them quietly found No. 4. of Scholarflower Lane and opened the door with the key they took from Magu.
They went straight to the master bedroom, and Zhou Ying used her divine senses to search the room. Finally, she found a button on the inner side of the bed and pressed it.
Soon, a small, dark room appeared under the bed.
The two did not move the bed. Instead, Zhou Ying directly kept it in her interspace.
After checking the place and confirming that there was nothing of value, they erased any traces of their presence and quickly took their carriage back to the manor.
After washing up, the two entered the space and checked the things that Magu had left behind. To be honest, there was really nothing valuable.
There was a small quilt made of quality wool, a jade pendant, some pieces of jewelry, a dagger, and a rope with blood on it.
Finally, there was a large bag of Soul Severing Incense, a poison that Magu had made herself.
Gu Chengrui frowned and said, “I’m afraid these are useless.”
“There should be a use for it, but there is no suitable opportunity at the moment.” Zhou Ying replied with a worried look, “It seems we killed Magu in a hurry. These things probably won’t be able to trouble Mrs. Lu.”
“Wrong. Magu dares to speak to us, but when facing the old madam, she would rather commit suicide than speak.
“This is her servitude that’s carved into her bones.
“Otherwise, she wouldn’t have to obey orders to commit murder, even though she hated it.” Gu Chengrui said, “Actually, there is a better way. Let the two wives of Marquis Ding’an fight among themselves. That way, even if Mrs. Lu doesn’t die, she won’t be in the mood to find trouble with us.
“They need money to fund their organization. Don’t you know where Mrs. Lu’s private stash is? Just take it.”
“Wait, explain first how we make them fight among themselves.” Zhou Ying asked curiously.
“I remember that in the list of spies, there’s someone who is closely monitoring Mrs. Lu. If the spy were to die at Magu’s hands, what do you think the old madam would think?”
Zhou Ying’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “The poison used by Magu, Soul Severing Incense.”
“That’s right. Didn’t she say that she made the poison herself? I don’t think the old madam is ignorant about this..”
