Wang Sheng was panicking, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What does Yulang's disappearance have to do with Zhou?"
"It's you! You're pretending to be crazy and stupid. Why should King Yan help you for no reason?"
"Ah, I know now. You two have known each other for a long time. As soon as you saw King Yan, you threatened to divorce me. What were you thinking?"
Mu Ying laughed out of anger. The angrier she was, the clearer her mind became. Thinking of Qing Wu's previous reminder, Mu Ying deliberately said:
"You refused to stamp the seal and competed with me for Yulang. Aren't you afraid that I would tell others about what you and Zhou did over the years?"
"Wang Sheng, you and Zhou colluded to kidnap those children into the mountains and caused them to die in vain. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Wang Sheng was already flustered, and his face changed drastically when he heard Mu Ying's questioning.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Kidnapping a child? I never did it, so why should I be punished?!"
Puff——
A woman's laughter suddenly rang out, but it came from behind Mu Ying.
A strange wind suddenly blew in the house, blowing off Wang Sheng's hood, revealing his panicked and ferocious pig-like face.
"If you haven't done it, why are you so nervous, Minister Wang?" Qing Wu said lazily: "Look at your sweaty head, do you know you are guilty now?"
Wang Sheng had never seen Qing Wu and didn't know her identity.
But every word Qing Wu said was like needles pricking his head, making his scalp numb, and strange mumbling sounds rang in his ears.
Those were the voices of children, constantly asking him:
——Why do you want to harm me?
——Why do you want to harm me?
Wang Sheng screamed miserably, and shouted madly to his dumbfounded followers: "What are you still standing there for! Bring Mu Ying back to the mansion!"
The followers were about to take action immediately, but before they could do so, a strange wind started to blow in the house, whimpering like ghosts and wolves howling, and the tables, chairs and benches rattled as if someone was jumping up and down.
The followers all changed color.
Qing Wu laughed again: "Aiya, every wrong has its perpetrator, kids, don't be impatient, come and seek revenge, one by one~"
"Such a big living person, enough for you ghosts to eat and eat to your heart's content~"
Qing Wu's words gave her followers goosebumps all over their bodies.
Wang Sheng screamed again. He covered his neck. There was no wound on his neck, but he felt clearly that he was bitten by something.
Next came the arms, thighs, wrists, back...
"Don't bite me! Don't bite me, ahhhhhhhhhh!!"
"It wasn't me who killed you. It wasn't me who kidnapped you. I was just responsible for sending you to the Infant-Eating Mountain. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me..."
"If you want revenge, go find Zhou. I was implicated. Ah——"
The followers were already frightened silly. Wang Sheng rolled on the ground begging for mercy like a madman, and tried to rush out in panic.
The door of the wing room was opened at some point, and many people gathered at the door to watch the fun. When they heard what Wang Sheng said, their faces were full of excitement.
The moment Wang Sheng rushed out the door, Qing Wu lazily raised her foot and tripped.
Bang!
Wang Sheng was thrown out of the door with a stern look on his face.
At the same time, Qing Wu threw a small seal to Mu Ying, which was Wang Sheng's private seal.
Mu Ying acted decisively and immediately stamped the divorce letter.
Wang Sheng fell so hard that his nose was almost broken. He was in so much pain that he couldn't open his eyes, but the horrible ghostly whispers in his ears disappeared.
His mind suddenly became clear, and he thought about what he had said before, only to realize that everything before his eyes was a dream.
"Wang Sheng! You are so bold. As an assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you know the law but you break it and dare to kidnap a child!"
Wang Sheng looked up at Minister Gu and his eyes went dark.
He was trembling and wanted to defend himself, but just now when he blew himself up as a werewolf, the word "kidnapping" and the word "Infant-eating Mountain" were heard clearly by everyone in the restaurant!
What made Wang Sheng even more horrified was why was this old man Gu Zhun here? !
Wang Sheng subconsciously looked in the direction of Mu Ying, but before he could speak, a group of yamen runners came upstairs and handcuffed him directly, not forgetting to cover his mouth.
The man's cold voice sounded slowly: "Minister Wang has something to say, why don't you go back to the Dali Temple and talk slowly."
Wang Sheng then noticed Xie Shu who came out of another room. A feeling of powerlessness crept over his body and he was dragged away like a dead dog.
Even the followers brought by Wang Sheng were taken away.
Upon seeing this, the guests in the restaurant scattered like birds and beasts, but they were talking about it in private.
Wang Sheng was imprisoned. Although Mu Ying's letter of divorce had been stamped, it still had to be approved by the government. Qing Wu asked Hong Rui to accompany Mu Ying and make the trip as soon as possible.
Xie Shu also came over at this moment and handed Hong Rui a card: "You can go with Xie's seal, maybe it will be faster."
Seeing this, Hongrui glanced at Qingwu, and only accepted it when she saw Qingwu nod.
Mu Ying took the divorce letter to the government for review. It was not appropriate to use the name of Prince Yan's Mansion, as it would damage Mu Ying's reputation.
But Xie Shu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was not a problem.
Now, it was difficult for Gu Zhun not to pay attention to Wei Qingwu, but he was in a hurry to go back and interrogate Wang Sheng, so he did not ask more questions.
Xie Shu stayed behind and smiled at Qing Wu: "Princess, you have helped me a lot again today."
"Win-win." Qing Wu smiled and changed the subject: "However, I don't mind thanking Mr. Xiao for a little thank you gift. I heard that Changfenglou's craftsmanship is pretty good."
Xie Shu smiled. He was dressed in a crimson official robe, standing tall and majestic. At this moment, his brows were relaxed, and he looked less cold and aloof, making him seem more approachable.
He raised his hand and gestured for people to come into the house.
Qing Wu was not polite and gladly accepted the invitation.
But when she entered the door, she glanced back, as if... someone was staring at her just now?
The door of the private room facing Qiushiju was ajar. Through the gap, one could see the man sitting at the table. Xiao Chenyan was twirling Buddhist beads in his hands, quietly watching the two people opposite him smiling at each other, watching them come in and out...
