Chu Zhao had been investigating in the countryside for a long time, and because too much time had passed, there were few informed individuals, and almost no one was willing to tell the truth.
He had to spend money to get someone to speak truthfully.
The person who spoke the truth was a village woman living near the manor, who had seen He Family's lady and Shen Chuwei and had heard some things about the matters inside the manor.
At first, when Chu Zhao came to inquire, she brushed him off, but when she saw the bag of silver in Chu Zhao's hand, her heart was moved.
"Young man, what do you want to ask?" the village woman asked with a smile brimming in her eyes.
Chu Zhao weighed the money bag in his hand, deliberately showing the woman how heavy it was, before asking, "I want to know everything about Miss Shen in this manor."
