The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate

375 Unreasonable Accusation

Today was the day of Yang Cheng’s execution.

People did not know that his real name was Yang Cheng. They only thought that he was the corrupt official, Yang Yi.

As soon as the torture cart from the Ministry of War came out, the commoners started to throw rotten vegetables at him and cursed him.

Yang Cheng was extremely indignant. He shouted loudly. “I’m innocent, I’m innocent.”

He had placed all his hopes on the formation and tried to swap bodies with Yang Yi again, but he was disappointed.

He was afraid. He didn’t want to die yet.

He had collected and hidden a lot of money, but now, he was going to die before he could enjoy it.

It was three miles from the Ministry of War to the market where the execution took place, but Yang Cheng felt that it was too fast. Before he was ready, they arrived at their destination.

He was pulled down from the torture cart by Yi Zilan.

The burly executioner was already prepared. Yang Cheng knelt on the execution platform and trembled.

Before execution, if a family member came to deliver food, the torturer would not stop them. After all, this was going to be the last meal.

The sun gradually reached its zenith.

No one from the Yang family came.

Yi Zilan looked up at the sky and gave the order. “Execute.”

Yang Cheng’s head was pressed down by the executioner. He trembled in fear. “No, no, I’m innocent. Someone, help me…”

Yang Cheng had never thought that he would die in such a way. He changed his identity to become a high-ranking official and live a glorious life. However, he did not expect that he would end up like this.

In the crowd, Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan watched him silently.

The mother and child on Liu Sanniang’s pouch also came out. They looked at Yang Cheng and couldn’t wait for the execution to take place.

Yang Cheng was already scared out of his wits. The executioner raised a large knife and placed the cold back of the knife on Yang Cheng’s neck.

Yang Cheng was so frightened that he lost his voice.

The executioner raised his knife high.

When Yang Cheng saw the mother and child, he looked at them intently, hoping that they could save him.

However, when a gust of wind blew past his neck, Yang Cheng felt like his head and body were separated. He wanted to speak, but it was no longer possible.

He also regretted it. If he hadn’t met that monk, he would still be alive. Although being the illegitimate son was worse than being the legitimate son, it was at least better than dying.

Liu Sanniang chanted the scriptures in a low voice. The mother and child had already dissipated. After their wish was fulfilled, they went to reincarnate again.

The power of the scriptures also dispelled Yang Cheng’s remaining resentment.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan turned around and left. She looked at the sky. The evil sources that were connected with one another were still growing, but many of the evil seeds which Wu Yu planted had been almost cleared out.

She could also feel wisps of golden light flying into her body, making her stronger and more determined in terms of what she should do and had to do.

Liu Sanniang returned home and took her time absorbing the new power.

The sun was shining brightly. She sat in the courtyard with General Black beside her. Liu Sanniang reached out and stroked General Black’s fur until a violent knock on the door broke the silence.

Madam Bai’s eyes were red as she held a kitchen knife and smacked the door with her hand. Liu San and Liu Dashan, who were behind their mother, were shocked, not knowing what was going on.

Madam Bai shouted hysterically. “Open the door.”

When Liu Sanniang opened the door, Madam Bai glared at her. “Yinniang is dead. Are you satisfied now? Liu Sanniang, why are you so vicious? It’s all because of you that Yinniang died.”

After saying that, Madam Bai raised her knife and slashed at Liu Sanniang. She was crazy and eagerly wanted to pin the blame of her daughter’s death on someone.

However, before Madam Bai could even touch Liu Sanniang, Chu Yan grabbed her hand and broke it with ease. With a crack, Madam Bai’s arm lost its strength, hanging by her side, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground.

Liu San frowned. “Chu Yan, what are you doing?”

“Coming here with a knife… I should be the one asking you that question.”

Chu Yan’s expression was cold as he glanced at Liu San and his family.

Liu Dashan and Liu Zhongshan lowered their heads in shame under Chu Yan’s cold gaze.

Liu San looked at Madam Bai and asked in confusion. “What’s going on?”

When Chu Yan let go, Madam Bai fell to the ground and started wailing.

Liu San felt a headache coming on. He pulled Madam Bai. “Damn it, what does Yinniang’s death have to do with Sanniang? What’s the use of crying? Tell us.”

Madam Bai sobbed. “She caused Yinniang to die. If she had helped, Yinniang wouldn’t have died. How can she be so heartless? Aren’t we a family?”

Liu Sanniang said nothing.

Chu Yan said expressionlessly, “Liu Yinniang was beaten to death by Liu Shun. You were greedy and didn’t want to part with all that wealth, but now you started accusing Sanniang. The stench coming out of you makes me want to vomit. This is what you asked for.”

Madam Bai cried. “How can it be the same? If she wanted to help, all she needed to do was agree to a small request.”

It was not that they were unwilling to part with their wealth, but saving Liu Yinniang was just a piece of cake for Liu Sanniang.

Liu San’s face darkened. He looked at Madam Bai and questioned her sternly. “Was Yinniang killed by Liu Shun?”

This news came as a blow to Liu San.

Madam Bai pointed at Liu Sanniang and said, “Liu San, your daughter was killed by her. A life for a life. Liu Sanniang has to die with our daughter.”

Madam Bai was no longer in the right frame of mind.

However, Liu San was not so muddle-headed. He grabbed Madam Bai’s collar and slapped her twice. “Speak clearly and explain. How did Yinniang die?”

Madam Bai was stunned while tears continued to stream down her face. She finally said, “Liu Shun is not a good person. He abused Yinniang. He wanted Yinniang to persuade Sanniang to submit to the Crown Prince. As long as Sanniang agreed to side with the Crown Prince, Yinniang wouldn’t have had to die.”

Therefore, at the end of the day, it was still Liu Sanniang who killed Liu Yinniang.

After knowing the truth, Liu San was in so much shock that he could not stand still. “It’s our fault. We were blind and stupid to have married Yinniang to a jackal.”

Madam Bai looked at Liu Sanniang fiercely. “She said that there’s only one way to save Yinniang and that was that she had to leave Liu Shun. She just didn’t want us to live a good life and wanted to humiliate our family.”
