The original owner had heard from Xue's father that the 60 taels of betrothal money was made by the Chen family by melting old silver and casting six 10-tael silver ingots.
The two pairs of gold and silver jewelry inside were also part of the betrothal gifts.
Good, now the truth is out.
Old Mrs. Xue is truly capable of such a thing. Her son is "dead," her daughter-in-law and several grandchildren are grief-stricken, yet she still has the mind to plot against her granddaughter's betrothal money?!
What kind of grandma is this? It's no exaggeration to say she's a jackal, a tiger, or a leopard!
Xue Huan put away the money and belongings belonging to her family, and took the remaining money as well. Since Old Mrs. Xue did it on the first day, don't blame her for doing it on the fifteenth.
In order to create the illusion that a thief had been there, Xue Huan wreaked havoc on the first and third wives one after another. After all, neither of these two families was innocent.
After doing all this, Xue Huan clapped her hands and felt refreshed.
She felt very happy when she thought about the expressions of people like Old Mrs. Xue when they found out that their money was missing.
The betrothal money was recovered, and Old Lady Xue and her gang were severely cheated. The first goal of tonight was successfully achieved.
Next, she will tackle the second target.
Qianjiazhuang.
Under the starry sky, the surroundings were dark. In the night, the Qian family mansion, which covered a large area, looked like a huge toad lying on its stomach, and the two big red lanterns under the eaves were its eyes.
In the most magnificent courtyard, in the main house, the wall was inlaid with luminous pearls the size of pigeon eggs. The hazy light of the pearls dispelled the darkness. Although it could not illuminate the surrounding scenery in detail, at least people's faces could be seen clearly.
Qian Dazhi, whose body was as bloated as a mountain, was lying on his back with his limbs spread out on the large bed covered with gorgeous clothes, snoring loudly, with several fair-skinned young women lying beside him.
Several people were sleeping soundly on the same quilt.
Xue Huan, covered in a black robe, walked silently from underground.
Didn't Qian Dazhi covet Xue's mother's beauty? Then she would cripple him and let him experience the taste of being a eunuch. She wanted to see how he could still abuse women after losing that violent tool.
In this way, Xue's mother will be safe.
After preparing herself mentally, Xue Huan no longer hesitated and jumped out. She swung the dagger in her hand like thunder and struck Qian Dazhi three inches below his navel.
The attack hit the target and Xue Huan instantly sank into the ground and flew away from this place.
Behind him, Qian Dazhi chased after him with a pig-slaughtering scream, accompanied by the woman's panicked scream.
Xue Huan's heartbeat quickened and she left quickly.
Although she had convinced herself mentally beforehand and acted decisively, it was her first time doing such a thing, so she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
She had unknowingly gone astray, and when she came to her senses, she had stepped into a body of water.
Where is this?
Xue Huan was just about to go up and take a look when she suddenly caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of her eye!
Dead? Water ghost?
In an instant, all the horror movies I had seen in the past flashed through my mind.
Xue Huan froze in place. Her mind told her to leave immediately, but curiosity prompted her to go over and take a look.
There was a struggle between my conscience and my desires, but curiosity ultimately won out.
What's there to be afraid of? If anything goes wrong, she'll just hide in the space.
The Five Elements Bead Space gave her unlimited confidence and courage, and Xue Huan took a bold step.
Holding the dagger, he approached the man. From his figure, he could tell he was a man, a young one at that. His face was covered in long hair that resembled seaweed, and his body was covered in wounds. Many small fish lingered around his wounds, not knowing whether they were sucking his blood or gnawing at his flesh...
Thinking of this, Xue Huan shuddered all over.
Judging from his exposed skin, this person seemed to have died not long ago and was still fresh... It seemed like something was wrong.
Xue Huan shook her head to get rid of the messy thoughts in her mind.
Forget it, since I've met him, I'll take him up and find a place to bury him. Otherwise, the thought of him lying at the bottom of the water and slowly rotting until the fish eat away all his remains makes me feel cold.
She calmed herself down and slowly stretched out her hand, but at this moment, the man suddenly moved!
Oh my god, it’s a zombie!
Xue Huan was so frightened that she immediately hid in the space. As a result, she found that it was not the corpse that moved, but a fish hidden under it that suddenly swam out and moved the corpse...
Damn, I was really scared to death by that fish.
However, after this incident, Xue Huan miraculously found that she was not so scared anymore. After all, it was just a corpse, and he would not jump up and do anything to her.
She reached out and grabbed a corner of the man's clothes. The moment she touched, the Five Elements Bead in her palm suddenly broke away and hovered above the corpse. In the light emitted by the Five Elements Bead, a smoky purple gas emanated from the corpse and was swallowed and absorbed by the Five Elements Bead.
What is going on?
The moment the doubt arose in her mind, she received a piece of information. The energy overflowing from the male corpse's body was the imperial energy, which can also be called purple energy. This is a kind of energy that can only be produced by combining the power of national destiny and people's faith.
This kind of energy can only be possessed by emperors, otherwise why is it called the emperor's energy?
The more prosperous the country and the more popular the emperor was, the thicker the purple aura would be. The emperor's descendants, or people and objects that had long-term contact with the emperor, might also be infected with it.
This purple energy is the source of energy for the Five Elements Bead. Everything in the world requires a balance. The Five Elements Bead has such incredible abilities, of course, it does not come out of thin air, but requires purple energy to maintain. If the energy is insufficient, then its functions will be weakened or even disappear.
When the absorbed purple energy exceeds the energy required by the Five Elements Bead itself, the Five Elements Bead space will be upgraded.
After digesting this information, Xue Huan looked at the corpse before her again and felt a surge of gratitude. Fortunately, she had been kind today and had encountered this man with purple aura and learned this information. Otherwise, if the energy of the Five Elements Bead suddenly ran out one day, she would still be walking underground...
That scene is simply unbearable to imagine.
The fact that he was able to wield purple energy indicated that this man was of extraordinary status and was definitely not the emperor. It had been the 23rd year of the Sheng Yuan era, and the emperor must have been at least 40 or 50 years old. It was impossible for him to be so young.
So he could be a prince or a prince?
Xue Huan instantly imagined a conspiracy among the princes fighting against each other.
Could it be that this person was the loser in the power struggle, was assassinated and then thrown into the water?
After a while, the Five Elements Bead absorbed all the purple energy from the male corpse and returned to Xue Huan's palm contentedly.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the Five Elements Bead seemed to have grown a circle larger...
After coming up from the bottom of the water, Xue Huan identified the direction and returned to Shanghe Village.
It was already cockcrow time, which was around two or three o'clock according to modern time.
I'm so sleepy.
But we have to bury the one in the space first.
Burying someone is not too easy for her now. She just needs to find a good location, sink into the ground, and then release the person from the space.
Xue Huan came to the foot of Lingyun Mountain in the north, entered the space, and prepared to take people out, but found that the space had become bigger!
