Chapter 1249: The Luxurious Courtyard Was Burned
Le Shui didn’t know if her request was a bit excessive, and said timidly, "Yes, I just want to stay by the Eldest Lady’s side."
Mengyu nodded, "If you can deliver these criminal materials of Gui Xiaofeng’s backer to his arch-enemy without alerting anyone, you can stay by my side in the future."
Le Shui’s martial arts weren’t as good as Le Shan, but her Qinggong was impressive, and she was very clever.
For instance, this time, when asked to investigate Gui Xiaofeng’s situation, not only did she find out about Gui Xiaofeng, but she also discovered Gui Xiaofeng’s backer, and even managed to identify the backer’s arch-enemy.
Her side definitely needed someone as astute as Le Shui.
Upon hearing this, Le Shui was delighted, "Yes, Eldest Lady, I promise to complete the task."
Though her martial arts were lacking, her Qinggong and hidden power were formidable, making this task not too difficult for her.
Suddenly, Mengyu recalled, judging from future father-in-law Gu Ming’s expression that day, he would surely not spare Gui Xiaofeng. It seemed he had started investigating too. She added, "You don’t have to rush, this person is bound to be deeply hidden, and it might be difficult to find anything immediately. However, perhaps during the New Year is the best time to investigate. So go and check during the New Year period."
Mengyu then brought out the Invisibility Talisman her father gave her, "I’ll give you one Invisibility Talisman, but it’s best you don’t use it. If you do, it means you failed this trial. Do you understand?"
After Le Shui left, Mengyu pressed her eyebrows: there have been so many things happening these days.
Having almost stayed up all night yesterday, though not tired, it was still better to take a nap as usual. Just as Mengyu was going to rest in her room, she suddenly remembered her father’s courtyard hadn’t been reclaimed yet.
Back then, it was agreed the other party should move out within ten days. Today was exactly the tenth day, so she wondered if they had moved out on time?
Early in the morning, Mengyu went to the courtyard her grandmother left to her father, ready to receive the luxurious courtyard her father left for her which was built with redwood.
However, as she approached, her Divine Sense scanned the current state of the courtyard, and she was so furious she nearly ascended to heaven in anger—the entire courtyard had been burned to the ground, with some places still smoking.
Moreover, the neighboring houses were also affected. The neighbor on the left had burnt half a room, and the roof tiles of the neighbor on the right were damaged.
Did the Yun Family refuse to hand over the courtyard and set it on fire after moving out?
And they did it neither early nor late but on the tenth day when she asked them to move out?
She was extremely relieved that when she initially came here, she had put all the treasures from the secret room into her ring. Otherwise, everything would have been burned this time.
Mengyu suppressed her anger and approached the courtyard, which was still smoking in some areas.
Her ears were filled with the cries and curses of the neighbors.
When Mengyu scanned, she found that the left neighbor also lost a bit, but the roof tiles that were removed were enough to cover half a room, while the right neighbor hadn’t been burned, but since there was only a wall in between, many people had climbed onto their roof to help fight the fire, damaging a lot of tiles.
"Oh my, the ill-fated house number 12 has caused our house to burn half a room."
"The owner of house number 12, what kind of sin have they committed to burn the whole courtyard to the ground."
"Certainly because of too many bad deeds, so they were punished."
"That’s right, I reckoned Eldest Son Yun wasn’t a good person, just making a fortune by smashing and grabbing. Why hasn’t heaven struck him down, letting him live still?"
"Don’t you know? Recently, everyone in their family broke their legs and are in the hospital, that’s retribution!"
"I’ve heard about that too. It seems that once they harmed a woman, and that woman came back for revenge."
