In the outskirts of Jing, a tent received an unexpected visitor. An eagle flew in, clutching a letter in its beak.
Chu Qingzhi caught the letter, her lips curling into a smile as she read. The letter detailed a series of mishaps that had befallen the Shen family. Now that they were no longer a threat, she couldn't help feeling pleased.
She had bribed a servant in the Shen family to keep an eye on things. Surprisingly, he had proven himself quite useful, delivering this good news so swiftly.
The shopkeepers of Hongyan and Fuyuan restaurants, having heard of the Shen family's downfall, breathed sighs of relief. The next day, they confidently brought their families back home, their trust in Chu Qingzhi solidifying even further.
…
Under the deep blue canopy of the sky, a full moon hung in the profound night, illuminating countless households in its silvery glow, creating a beautiful Mid-Autumn night.
