“Miss, can you help me?” Miss Zhou sobbed and said, “It’s alright if I die, but I’m afraid that my father and sister will continue to be tricked by Bi Yu.”

If anything happened to her father and sister, their Zhou family would be completely destroyed.

Lu Sheng was about to speak when the surrounding temperature plummeted.

A black and a white figure walked out of the void.

The Black Deity spoke expressionlessly, “It’s time. Miss, follow us.”

Lu Sheng was surprised. She knew that they would come, but she did not expect them to come so quickly.

After all, Miss Zhou had only been dead for two days.

If not for her reminder, she might not even know that she had died.

However, it was within her expectations.

Miss Zhou’s soul power was very weak. If she did not return to hell soon, her soul might dissipate after some time.

“Miss, you have to help me!”

Miss Zhou looked at Lu Sheng anxiously. She had unfulfilled wishes and did not want to leave yet.

“Dear deities, can I speak to this lady for a while?”

The Black and White Deities looked at each other. Then, the Black Deity said coldly, “Make it quick.”

“Thank you!”

Lu Sheng bowed to them and asked Miss Zhou, “Do you have any evidence other than the pouch and sachet?”

Miss Zhou thought for a while and nodded. “Yes, Xiao Cui has Bi Yu’s clothes and his jade pendant.”

That was what Xiao Cui had bragged about in front of her.

Lu Sheng shook her head. “Well, Bi Yu can accuse Xiao Cui of stealing.”

“No!”

Miss Zhou shook her head. “Besides me, no one is allowed to enter Bi Yu’s courtyard. Unless you have his permission, no one can enter. When Xiao Cui accompanied me to find him previously, she could only wait outside the courtyard.”

Lu Sheng’s eyebrow raised. “You’re saying that unless Bi Yu voluntarily gives it to her, Xiao Cui will never get it?”

“That’s right!”

Miss Zhou was afraid that she would not get the chance if she spoke too slowly. She continued, “Bi Yu’s courtyard is guarded by two secret guards. Normal people can’t enter.”

“I understand.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Tomorrow, I’ll go over as your friend to burn incense for you. Then, I’ll check on those two men.”

“Thank you!”

Miss Zhou wiped her tears and walked to the two deities.

“Was Lord Lu here before?”

Before leaving, the White Deity asked Lu Sheng.

The Lord Lu he was referring to should be her master.

Lu Sheng nodded. “He just left.”

“If you see him again, please tell Lord Lu that the King of Hades is looking for him.”

Then, he took Miss Zhou’s soul away before Lu Sheng could reply.

The next day.

Lu Sheng sent the two children to the Liang family. When she reached home, she changed into a set of white clothes and went out on her horse carriage.

Since Miss Zhou was unharmed, the Zhou family, for some reason, forbade the autopsy and just brought her body home.

When Lu Sheng reached the Zhou Mansion, there were already white lanterns and white cloth hanging outside the entrance.

A lot of people came to the funeral. The entire Zhou family was squatting in the mourning hall, crying, in their mourning clothes.

A thirteen-year-old girl who resembled Miss Zhou knelt in front of the mourning hall and burnt paper money.

This must be Miss Zhou’s sister, Zhou Ru.

On the other side, a clean-looking man knelt. He stared at the mourning hall with an ashen face.

“Second Miss, Young Master has not eaten or drunk anything since he knelt yesterday. I’m afraid that his body can’t take it. Second Miss, please persuade him. Miss is no longer around. If anything happens to Young Master, what should we do?”

A beautiful servant who was kneeling beside the young lady suddenly spoke softly to Zhou Ru.
