Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the past, in the Zhou Residence, her aunt suppressed her cousin’s marriage mainly because she was afraid that the Zhou family would find an unsuitable person for their interests. Now that they had left the land of dispute, naturally, his marriage had to be planned.
Her aunt had also asked her about her thoughts.
She really… only treated her cousin as her brother.
Moreover, although her cousin was a good person, he was somewhat pedantic. He often advised her to be gentle and obedient. After listening to him, she wanted to punch him in the face and ask him to find a cool place to stay by himself and cut the nonsense.
Recently, her aunt had taken a fancy to a family that was not very well-off.
The lady’s father was only a sixth-rank civil servant, but his family was clean. The lady was great. She seemed to be the eldest daughter of the family. She was well-educated and had a good reputation. The other party also saw that after she married her cousin, it was a terrible thing without a powerful family. She also saw that her cousin was young and had a bright future, so she agreed to it.
They were in the middle of a discussion and had yet to get engaged.
However, it would be soon.
Once her cousin got married, she would have one cousin less.
She had to support herself.
It was an embarrassing job, but Yu Xian still agreed. “Sure. It’s just a small matter. I can do it!”
Yu Xian had a heroic look on her face.
“Okay!” Xie Pinggang felt like a big rock was lifted off his shoulder.
There were quite many people at the criminal division. Xie Pinggang brought Yu Xian over and she changed into a man’s outfit. She looked like a heroic man, but she was not rigid at all. The people there did not even think that she was a young lady. When they heard that she was going to bring people to investigate this “tabooed” thing, they all complimented her and treated her extremely well.
Yu Xian was very meticulous in handling things. She also knew that many women liked to gather together and chat.
Therefore, she found more places with more women and tried to get information from them.
She could run through several streets and alleys in a day, and there were already blisters on her feet, but she still looked like she was fine.
After investigating for a few days, Yu Xian really found something wrong.
However, it was not the monthly menstruation.
“When a few women in the capital gave birth, the midwife took many of the placenta and the blood of the women who gave birth. Is this considered strange?”
“Yes!” Xie Pinggang slapped his thigh. “Is there more?”
“I found one of the midwives and spent some money to learn from her that someone bought these things. In the past, if the pregnant woman didn’t want the placenta, she would have sold it to the medicine shop. However, the midwife secretly took the placenta and said that she would soak it in the blood of the pregnant woman… This is the only thing that can be sold for a hundred taels of silver.” Yu Xian was also quite excited.
She did not know what kind of monster would do such a thing.
“I’ve also found something odd in the past few days. A few people who were tortured by illness all year round had their blood spurted before they died. Their blood was also bought by someone…”
It was not easy to find people who spurted blood before they died. Moreover, the family members were not willing to sell the blood.
It was precisely because it was not easy to find that she was able to find out.
Those families who refused to sell the blood were still complaining.
Yu Xian had guessed it by now. Someone must be doing some evil techniques, right?
“Do you want to ask Master Mo?” She looked at Xie Pinggang expectantly, waiting for him to speak.
“Yes, now that we have found out about this, we finally have the right to trouble her.” Xie Pinggang nodded. Previously, there were no clues, so the Crown Prince was very protective of his sister, afraid that he would disturb Xie Qiao.
