“You… You killed Lu Sheng?”

Lu Dahua suddenly raised his voice, jolting the shocked villagers back to their senses.

The way everyone looked at Madam Liu had changed. Fury appeared in their eyes.

“That girl was so obedient! She did everything you instructed without complaining.”

“Yeah! How could she kill such a good child? She’s really heartless!”

“I wonder if she killed her ex-husband too.”

Everyone pointed at Madam Liu and rebuked her.

Madam Liu was completely dumbfounded. She collapsed onto the ground and widened her eyes, unable to say anything.

“My Lord, you were right! She’s the murderer!”

Even in his fury, Chu Yun threw an admiring glance at Chu Sihan.

His lord’s suspicions had never been wrong before.

Chu Sihan coldly stared at Madam Liu and ordered in a deep voice, “Ask Constable Wang and the rest to come back from the hill and tell them that we’ve already found the murderer.”

“Okay!”

Lu Sheng stood at the side and watched them. After seeing Chu Yun walk toward the hill, she climbed over the fence on the other side.

When she was sure no one was around her, she tore off the Invisibility Talisman and sat at the foot of the hill.

When she heard footsteps, she suddenly stood up and slowly walked toward the village.

When Constable Wang and Chu Yun, who were walking down the hill, saw her back, they felt that she looked slightly familiar. However, as they were in a hurry to capture the culprit, they did not pay her much attention.

Constable Wang and the other guards hurried past Lu Sheng.

She was speechless.

How can no one notice me?

Since I’m appearing here with such a disheveled look, shouldn’t they ask me who I am?

They had gone to search for her in the hills for so long, yet when she came out, no one noticed her.

Silently scoffing, she walked faster and followed them.

When Constable Wang arrived at the village, he immediately ordered his men to capture Madam Liu and Lu Ning.

Lu Ning had already lost her mind. When she saw that she was being captured, she screamed and bit the guards holding her.

If one closely listened, they could hear her repeatedly mumbling, “Spare me, I didn’t kill her!”

“Where’s the corpse?”

Lu Dahua asked Madam Liu with eyes red from anger.

My five hundred taels! 

Madam Liu shook her head in fear. “I don’t know! I didn’t kill her!”

“How dare you deny it at this juncture?” Constable Wang scoffed.

Chu Yun looked at Chu Sihan and asked, “Lord, what should we do?”

“Take her and turn her in to the official county magistrate so that he can ask her where the girl’s corpse is.”
