Wu Xuzi was embarrassed and was about to open his mouth to explain when he heard Chu Xixuan's cold voice: "The Jin Family Silver Shop is a subsidiary of the Jin family and is currently managed by a branch of the Jin family."

"Yes! It's the Jin family, one of the five major families!" The lady explained eagerly, with pride in her tone.

"The Jin family?" Lan Ziye narrowed his eyes and asked, "What does this have to do with the Jin family?"

"The current person in charge of the Jin family's silver shop, Jin Jun, a member of the Jin family's branch, is the owner of this house of mine!" said the lady.

Lan Ziye raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your third husband?"

Speaking of this, the lady felt a little embarrassed. She said sheepishly, "He has a wife, but they no longer have feelings for each other. They are together purely for profit. Usually, they each have their own things to do and complement each other." After a pause, she continued, "I truly love Jin Jun, so even if we don't have a formal relationship, it doesn't matter."

"What I didn't expect was that Youyou was actually in a relationship with Jin Jun. Youyou is only 17 years old!" The lady said painfully, "Ever since I found out that she had a relationship with Jin Jun, her entire personality has changed. She's become so treacherous. I don't know if it's an illusion, but I often see her grinning at me viciously, and the way she looks at me is so terrifying, like a cold, venomous snake staring at you, making you shudder."

"It's really scary! A while ago, I heard someone say that Twelve Young Master is a very capable person. No matter what kind of monsters or demons there are, they can't escape your eyes. So I want you to come and help me see what's wrong with my daughter."

Seeing that Lan Ziye had pursed his lips tightly and remained silent, the lady hurriedly said, "Don't worry about the reward. Money is not a problem. I can pay any amount!"

"I heard from Shopkeeper Wu that you have a piece of essence stone, right?" Wu Xuzi asked straight to the point.

"Yes, yes, I'll get it for you to see now!" said the lady and walked towards the study on the first floor.

Soon, she took out a red brocade box.

When Lan Ziye opened the brocade box, he saw a crystal-clear purple stone.

The lady smiled sheepishly and said, "Actually, this fine stone belongs to Youyou. When I brought Youyou home, she was holding this beautiful stone. She also said it was a gift for me and Zhang Jian. I thought it was just a stone a child picked up somewhere and was about to throw it away, but Zhang Jian stopped me and said that no matter what the stone was, it was a token of the child's love. He even found a brocade box and carefully kept it away."

"It's just a small stone. I took it with me every time I moved over the years and never noticed anything wrong with it. It wasn't until two weeks ago when I found out Youyou and Jinjun were together and that Youyou was behaving strangely that I thought of finding someone to help me take a look at the stone."

"I had no one else to look for, so I found the owner of the Jin family shop. When the owner saw it, he said it was an incredible treasure. But this kind of treasure is useless to humans, but it is useful to monsters!" After the lady finished speaking, she looked up at Lan Ziye.

"You suspect your daughter is a demon just because of this stone?" Lan Ziye asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, if Youyou is a demon, then everything can be explained! Maybe Zhang Jian, Li Yong and Lin Hao were all killed by that demon. After all, demons are very cruel!" said the lady with hatred on her face.

It was as if her tragedy was entirely caused by her daughter.
