The servant brought tea and placed it in front of Zhou Wangshu.
Zhou Wangshu picked it up and drank, discovering a note under the teapot.
He glanced at the servant.
The servant retreated.
Zhou Wangshu unfolded the note, and upon seeing the words, his lips twitched.
Marchioness Cheng'an contacted people under his gate, wanting to pay a high price for his head.
A playful expression flashed in Zhou Wangshu's eyes.
He walked to the study, picked up a pen, and wrote a few words: Take the money, do nothing, extort again.
Marchioness Cheng'an heard that the assassination organization had taken on her order, but this single job would cost fifty thousand taels of silver.
Fifty thousand taels is no small amount. When she got married, she brought only ten thousand taels in silver as dowry, plus other wedding gifts added up to thirty thousand. Now, to kill a scoundrel who should have died long ago, she actually spent such an unjustified sum.
