"Accident? Someone even died? " When dusk approached, this unfortunate piece of news arrived in front of Ye Lan Shan. Ye Lan Shan's hand that was carrying the teacup paused, looked at the pale white face of the survivor, then looked at the shopkeeper, and subconsciously said, "Shopkeeper, just tell me, how much do you want me to compensate?"

It was said to have been an accident caused by a runaway horse.

How did the horse get out of control? As the horse fell down the cliff and died, it looked to be badly mutilated, the horse carriage was torn into pieces. No one was willing to go down the cliff to search, and naturally was unable to find out the reason.

The dead person was a shop assistant at the clothing shop. Ye Lan Shan knew that whether or not to report this matter to the officials would depend on how much she was willing to pay.

In the morning, when the carriage passed by the clothes shop, Big Sis Shen, who basically did not have the chance to go out, could not resist the urge to shop. She wanted to go in and look at the clothes, she wanted to try it again and again, and tried to become addicted to it no matter how much she dragged away, but since Ye Lan Shan did not really want to pay her respects to the Buddha in the first place, and because she was still sleepy, she took the opportunity to rest and did not want to go. Thus, she gave a small sum of money to the shopkeeper that she was familiar with.

To be honest, Ye Lan Shan really could not feel sorrow for the emotionless corpse, adding that she could not stay outside for too long, she thought of a way to quickly settle this matter using money, and then leave.

The female owner and the surviving female shop assistants originally wanted to denounce them for their crimes, but after hearing Ye Lan Shan's straightforward and honest words, they, as businessmen, subconsciously thought of a price.

The female owner opened up her five fingers, "Five hundred taels of silver!"

She opened up the store to ordinary customers. The profits weren't bad, but they weren't all that good. These five hundred taels of silver could definitely make the bereaved family members and survivors satisfied and earn a fortune for her. It all depended on this customer not willing to spend all the money.

Ye Lan Shan sighed in her heart, although this shopkeeper was a businessman, he still wasn't ruthless enough.

However, she was a fox-like person and couldn't ask ordinary small business people to reach her level.

"Five hundred silver taels is way too much for us sisters ?" She put on a pained and guilty expression and whispered, "But human lives are priceless. Even if it is an accident, we will have to pay for it even if we have to go bankrupt."

In her second life, she finally understood the value of life. These words were not entirely false.

"Manager Tong," she forced herself to squeeze out two drops of tears, holding the shopkeeper's hands, and said sincerely, "My mother and I took the five hundred liang of silver that we collected with great difficulty, and we prepared to ask the great master to do some blessing work for the severely ill grandmother, and then we invited the doctor in charge of the Benevolence Hall to treat my grandmother. But now, I will give all of these five hundred liang of silver and the one hundred liang of dowry that we sisters have accumulated to you, please pacify the families of the deceased."

Before they had fought their way into the Ye Family, she and her mother had always been regular customers of this shop, but they had never revealed their true identities to anyone in the shop, only saying that they were the two sisters who lived nearby. The shopkeeper and the shop assistant all thought that they were the women of a small family, so they decided that the compensation of five hundred silver taels was a sky-high price to them.

And the compensation of six hundred silver was all from her private money.

Having exchanged six hundred taels for a life, she honestly didn't have any objections to the shopkeeper's offer.

If it was possible, she actually wanted to compensate the owner a bit more, but no matter how much she paid, the owner would inevitably doubt her background. Moreover, a businessman like the shopkeeper would definitely secretly deduct a lot of compensation money, and half of the compensation money would actually go to the family of the deceased. Therefore, she decided that she would give the family of the victim a bit more money anonymously and secretly, which could be considered as a bit more virtuous than she had in her current life.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart. He wiped away his tears and said hypocritically, "It's also because the beautiful lady suffered a lot of hardships, but an accident happened while helping the customer. You can't be blamed! "You are willing to sacrifice the medical fee of the elderly to compensate the family of the beautiful lady. I believe that the beautiful lady's family will definitely not resent you ?"

If they weren't poor, would any woman have come out to work?

For poor families, the compensation of several hundred taels of silver was enough for the deceased's husband to marry another one. He believed that after receiving the compensation, the deceased's family members would no longer be held responsible by the shop.

Ye Lan Shan did not nag any further, she took out 600 taels of silver and gave it to the shopkeeper, then pretended to be concerned about the family situation and quickly left, knowing that she would not be able to come back here anymore.

Afterwards, she gave a 100 taels of silver to the poor old coachman who came back with the survivors to pay for the seals and treatment fees. Then, she hired a carriage and rushed back to Ye Family.

As soon as she entered the carriage, her suspicious expression changed, becoming solemn and serious.

Was it really an accident?

Maybe. However, this was all too sudden and strange. Furthermore, the one who died was her original role. From the perspective of protecting herself, it would be best if she didn't take this as an accident!

So, if it wasn't an accident, who would have done it?

Right now, she shouldn't have enough time to offend dangerous characters or bring about a fatal disaster.

That's not right! Her heart trembled as she suddenly patted her head, blaming herself for being too careless. There was an extremely dangerous, extremely frightening demon that even she didn't want to deal with in her previous life, and it was very likely that she had already provoked!

That evildoer great devil is ? Yue Qing Liu!

Based on her understanding of Yue Qing Liu in her previous life, which was very limited, and also very clear, she could definitely assume that Yue Qing Liu already knew that she was going to scheme against him, and was going to remove her as a small stumbling block.

That's right, this kind of analysis was reasonable. This should be the truth!

Immediately, a strong sense of crisis arose in her heart. What should she do? How was she going to protect herself?

After thinking about it three times, she shook her head. Forget it, this problem was too complicated.

She rolled her eyes and thought for a bit. Then she turned and smiled sinisterly at her mother. "Big Sis Shen, we can't go back like this."

Having known her daughter for so many years, Shen Dai Dai subconsciously huddled together after seeing her expression. "Wh-what are you trying to do?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to play a dirty trick with the Ye Family ?"

"Ah, don't..."
