Fu Yunche was amused by his shamelessness. Before he could speak, Chu Yu retorted angrily, "What do you mean by 'mutual consent'? Isn't this just deceiving a poor woman into marriage? If you dared to tell her in advance that Yang Yiyi would marry a dead man, do you think she would be willing?"
For such a prestigious and wealthy family to commit such a despicable act of marriage fraud, knowingly breaking the law, is truly utterly despicable.
Old Master Sheng felt guilty and angry after being scolded by her. He was about to teach her a lesson when she interrupted him: "Don't even think about scolding me. You just want to find a wife for your son so that he will have a companion in the afterlife. There's no need for that. Actually, he's not dead yet."
Everyone was startled.
Sheng Zi'ang is still alive!
Old Master Sheng retorted angrily and anxiously, "What nonsense are you talking about? My son is clearly dead."
Remembering what Huang Dalu had said last night, Chu Yu directly revealed the truth: "Sheng Zi'ang faked his death. If you really buried him, that would be the real way to kill him."
Seeing her so certain, Old Master Sheng became anxious: "Why should I believe what you're saying?"
Chu Yu was too lazy to argue with him and said bluntly, "If you don't believe me, I'll go to the manor with you and save him."
Although Grandpa Sheng had his doubts, he still really wanted his son to come back to life, so he decided to try anything, and said as a compromise, "Okay, if you can save my son, we'll forget about last night."
Chu Yu had no intention of settling things over with him, and retorted sharply, "To just settle things like that would be too easy on you. Before you save her, you have to agree to three conditions: first, you have to compensate Yang Yiyi for her losses according to the law; second, you have to turn yourself in to the police station; and third, you have to compensate me for my losses."
Old Master Sheng had no objection to compensating them for their losses, after all, the Sheng family was wealthy, but he refused to let them turn themselves in.
"We can resolve this privately, why take it to the police station?"
Chu Yu sneered: "Since you've committed the despicable act of fraudulent marriage, you must bear the consequences. Don't think you can escape legal punishment just because you have some money. Otherwise, karma will repeat itself, and the cause you sow today will surely bring you even more severe consequences in the future."
Old Master Sheng also believed in metaphysics. He met Chu Yu's serious gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth: "If you can save my son, I will agree to your conditions."
Chu Yu smiled and said, "Okay!"
Chu Yu returned to the courtyard and found Huang Dalu, who had been brought home by Tao Susu the night before. Huang Dalu gave her an antidote.
Chu Yu carried the antidote and went to the manor with the Sheng family and others.
Upon arriving at the manor, Old Master Sheng had Sheng Zi'ang lifted out of the coffin and placed on the bed, where Chu Yu gave him the antidote.
Under the tense gaze of everyone, Sheng Ziang suddenly coughed and woke up.
Upon seeing this, everyone exclaimed, "Wow, it really came back to life!"
Incredulous, Old Master Sheng quickly checked Sheng Zi'an's pulse. He had regained his body temperature and his pulse had returned to normal; he had truly come back to life.
He excitedly hugged Sheng Ziang and burst into tears.
After regaining his senses, Sheng Zi'ang, thinking about what had happened, also burst into tears of terror, sobbing and confessing, "Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said he looked like a pile of dung when the weasel was asking for a reward. That led to his revenge, and I almost died. Waaah... I was wrong..."
Hearing him say this, Old Master Sheng and his men were all surprised.
It turns out that what Yang Yiyi said was true; a weasel spirit had indeed possessed Sheng Ziang's body to take revenge on him.
Grandpa Sheng stopped wailing and looked up at Chu Yu with a changed gaze.
Chu Yu crossed her arms and sneered, "If I hadn't arrived in time last night and driven the weasel spirit possessing Sheng Ziang's body out, Sheng Ziang would probably be dead by now."
Old Master Sheng felt ashamed when he thought about what he had done to Chu Yu before. He immediately stood up, bowed to her, and apologized: "Master Chu, I was the one who offended you before. I apologize to you here."
Chu Yu waved her hand magnanimously: "I accept your apology. From now on, just do as I promised."
Grandpa Sheng nodded repeatedly and replied respectfully, "I will definitely do as the master instructs."
Seeing that Old Master Sheng had become extremely respectful to Chu Yu, Fu Yunche noticed that Chu Yu's gaze was filled with increasing admiration.
Jiang Huai'an, who had come to watch the drama unfold, couldn't help but praise, "My junior sister is truly amazing."
...
After leaving the Sheng family manor, Fu Yunche escorted Chu Yu and Jiang Huai'an back to their courtyard house, and then he and Song Ze went back to work at the company.
The Sheng family paid Chu Yu 3 million yuan this time; this money was for catching the demon last night.
The Sheng family also promised to release Yang Yiyi and compensate her with a generous sum of money for emotional distress. With this money, Yang Yiyi's family's financial situation will improve significantly.
Back at the courtyard, Chu Yu found Huang Dalu, returned his inner core to him, and solemnly warned him: "I have placed a forbidden spell on your inner core. If you do no bad things, the spell will not be activated. But once you have evil thoughts and want to harm others, the spell will be activated. You should be careful in the future."
Huang Dalu took his inner core, quickly raised his paw and swore an oath, promising never to do anything bad again.
Chu Yu was pleased to see his good attitude: "This matter has been resolved. I will have my fourth senior brother drive you back up the mountain later."
Huang Dalu looked at Chu Yu and quickly made a decision, saying eagerly, "Master, I don't want to go back to the mountains. I want to follow you and help you eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, just like Tao Susu did. Is that alright?"
This time, he failed to obtain the title and lost half of his cultivation. If he had to rely on his own cultivation, it would take several hundred or even a thousand years before he could have the chance to ascend.
After last night's exchange, he felt that Chu Yu's strength was unfathomable and she was full of merit. She was the legendary chosen one. If he could sign a contract with her and become her guardian demon, he could borrow her luck and merit to rapidly increase his cultivation, which would be much easier than him to cultivate in the mountains on his own.
