The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate-Chapter 38 - Agreeing To Help

Seeing how confident Wei Shilai was, Liu Sanniang was relieved.

Not only did Wei Shilai deploy troops in the Zhou Mansion, but he also went to look for the house that Liu Sanniang described.

However, Yong County was not small, and Liu Sanniang could not provide any special signs to identify the place. It would take at least ten days to find the house where they were keeping the missing children.

However, this was also a clue. Even if it was hard to find the house, he wouldn’t give up so easily.

Wei Shilai brought Liu Sanniang to find Butler Zhou and asked him to allow Liu Sanniang to stay in the Zhou mansion for the next few days.

Butler Zhou was very cooperative. He gave Liu Sanniang the clothes of a servant girl.

Before leaving the mansion, Liu Sanniang went to get her code word. After all, the criminal could look like anyone.

The code word that Liu Sanniang received was ‘water’.

After leaving the Zhou Mansion, Wei Shilai still had many things to do. He apologized to Liu Sanniang for not being able to send her home.

Liu Sanniang smiled and said that it was alright. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

Soon, it was already afternoon.

Liu Sanniang returned home.

There was a guest at home. When she returned, the guest was about to get up and leave. Madam Wei sent the guest out and thanked her repeatedly. “Auntie Zhang, sorry to trouble you.”

The person called Auntie Zhang smiled. “Don’t mention it.”

Liu Sanniang asked her gently. “Mother, this is…”

Madam Wei smiled. “This is your Auntie Zhang. Hurry up and greet her.”

Liu Sanniang didn’t know who this woman was, but since her mother instructed, she called out gently. “Hello, Auntie Zhang.”

“Good, good, good. What a wonderful girl.”

Auntie Zhang smiled, and her face creased up. Liu Sanniang was indeed good-looking. She was gentle and beautiful, and her eyes were big and round. Just looking at her made people fall in love with her.

Liu Sanniang was a little embarrassed to be praised like this.

Auntie Zhang patted Liu Sanniang’s hand. “Good girl, what a good girl!”

The more Auntie Zhang looked at her, the more she liked her. She reluctantly let go.

Madam Wei smiled and sent her out.

They did not notice that Liu Sanniang’s face had gradually turned pale.

Just now, when Auntie Zhang touched Liu Sanniang’s hand, Liu Sanniang heard what Madam Zhang was thinking. “With such a beautiful girl as his wife, my grandson will definitely stay at home and stop gambling.”

This old lady was actually the grandmother of the peddler in Willow Alley!

Liu Sanniang felt like she had been hit in the head. When she thought of the happy smile on Madam Wei’s face just now, she became anxious.

But soon, she calmed down.

After all, in her previous life, she did not marry that peddler, so it wouldn’t happen in this life too.

She knew that Zhang Shuan was a gambling addict.

Her parents would definitely not marry her to such a person.

At this thought, Liu Sanniang heaved a sigh of relief.

After sending her off, Madam Wei came back. “Sanniang, come and help Mother knead the noodles. We’ll eat noodles tonight.”

Liu Sanniang followed Madam Wei to the kitchen. She thought for a moment and said honestly, “Mother, I have something to tell you.”

Madam Wei smiled. “What is it?”

Liu Sanniang took a deep breath. “I’ve been helping Magistrate Wei investigate the missing children case recently. I’ll be staying at the Zhou Mansion for the next few days.”

Madam Wei frowned. “Sanniang, don’t frighten me. What do you, a little girl, know?”

Liu Sanniang looked at Madam Wei and said genuinely, “Mother, you’d better turn down Auntie Zhang. Her grandson is a gambler and wants to use me to make her grandson stop gambling.”

Madam Wei felt a headache coming on. Didn’t the witch say her daughter no longer had the psychic ability?

Liu Sanniang sighed. “Mother, the witch is a swindler. My ability is still there.”

Hearing that, Madam Wei suddenly lost her balance and Liu Sanniang immediately helped her sit down.

Madam Wei raised her hand, wanting to hit Liu Sanniang, but she couldn’t bring herself to do so. “You’re my only daughter. How can you take that path? You silly girl, what has this case got to do with you? Why are you going to interfere?”

Liu Sanniang leaned against Madam Wei and felt a lump in her throat. Madam Wei loved her so much that she couldn’t even bring herself to get angry with her. Her love for Liu Sanniang was as sweet as a candy. Liu Sanniang’s greatest regret was that she had never married in her previous life. She knew what her mother was worried about.

Being a psychic meant that she was destined to be alone for the rest of her life. Most of the people in the Mystic Sect were lonely and had to suffer.

It was true across the world. Whether one was a monk or a daoist, they would remain single until death.

Madam Wei cried, her heart aching.

Liu Sanniang choked. “I’m sorry, Mother.”

Madam Wei wiped her tears. “Can you not interfere with this case? It has nothing to do with us.”

Liu Sanniang shook her head. “I won’t feel at ease if I turn a blind eye to it.”

If she ignored it, she would live in guilt for the rest of her life.

Madam Wei was angry and helpless.

Liu Sanniang said coquettishly, “Mother, don’t worry. Magistrate Wei will keep it a secret. No one will know it is me.”

There were so many servant girls in the Zhou Mansion. No one would pay attention to her.

Madam Wei felt heartache and helplessness. “You said that Zhang Shuan is a gambler. Is that true?”

As long as her identity as a psychic was not exposed, her precious daughter still had a chance to get married. However, Madam Wei wouldn’t lower her standard because of that. Thinking of what Liu Sanniang had said just now, Madam Wei was worried.

She did not expect Auntie Zhang to lie to her.

Madam Wei did not want to believe it, but Liu Sanniang reassured her. “It’s true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around. Zhang Shuan is a frequent customer of the Dashun Casino.”

In her previous life, it was because they found out that Zhang Shuan was a gambler that Madam Wei rejected the marriage. In the end, the Zhang family slandered Liu Sanniang for being arrogant.

After that, no matchmakers wanted to help Liu Sanniang.

However, her family did the right thing. Why should she endure the slandering and not get married for the rest of her life?

So before that, Liu Sanniang had to warn Madam Wei.

Madam Wei felt indignant. That old widow, Auntie Zhang, actually wanted to harm her daughter. This was absolutely intolerable!

After Madam Wei agreed, Liu Sanniang went back to the Zhou Mansion.

When she arrived at the Zhou Mansion, Liu Sanniang was called to answer the code word. When she went, someone was also waiting in line to answer the code word.

When she saw the figure standing in front of her, her eyes widened with shock.

Wasn’t… Wasn’t that Chu Yan!? Why was he in the Zhou Mansion? Liu Sanniang felt confused and terrorized at the same time.
