The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate

Chapter 121: Identity Exposed (Part 1)

Many memories replayed in her mind. She could even freely choose the time frame to extract a particular memory.

The more she released her power, the more power she could feel fluctuations in this world.

“Sanniang, Sanniang.”

Liu Sanniang was woken up. She opened her eyes and realized that it was almost dark. Madam Wei had returned home. Liu Sanniang said in a daze, “Mother.”

Madam Wei smiled. “Why did you fall asleep in the courtyard?”

Only then did Liu Sanniang realize that she had fallen asleep while meditating.

She stretched and felt like her power had increased a little.

Liu Sanniang was in a good mood. She held Madam Wei’s arm and said, “I haven’t cooked yet. Mother, go to rest. I’ll cook.”

Madam Wei smiled gently. “It’s alright, you must be sleepy. Go and rest. I’ll make something simple. It won’t take long.”

Liu Sanniang had become a psychic. When she had nothing to do, she spent her time embroidering and relaxing.

If there was something, she would be busy. Clearly, she had been dealing with something during these days. Hence, she must have been too tired and fell asleep in the courtyard. As a mother, Madam Wei felt worried about her daughter.

How could she still let her daughter do the chores at home?

Liu Sanniang felt her mother’s warm care. Her mother’s love was really sweet.

......

However, Liu Sanniang still insisted on helping Madam Wei cook.

At night, Mr. Liu, Liu Dalang, and the others returned. Liu Erlang wanted to ask something but was stopped by the angry look Dalang shot at him. Mr. Liu smiled and picked up some food for Liu Sanniang, pretending not to know anything.

Liu Sanniang woke up early the next morning. Madam Wei had not left yet and was steaming buns. Liu Sanniang entered the kitchen. “Mother, I’m going to the government office.”

Madam Wei said, “Take some buns with you.”

Liu Sanniang nodded. The buns Madam Wei made were small, thin, and juicy. They were delicious.

She took some and said to Madam Wei with a smile, “Mother, don’t worry about me.”

Madam Wei sighed. She could hide nothing from her daughter now.

When Liu Sanniang arrived at the government office, Wei Shilai was already present. He had found out about Jiang Sheng’s real identity.

Before Liu Sanniang could ask, Wei Shilai spoke up. “Miss Liu, I’ve found out that his name is actually Jiang Sheng. His parents are no longer around. He’s a scholar and his life was pretty hard.”

Liu Sanniang listened carefully. The more she knew about him, the more she felt that she could break his ability.

Wei Shilai continued. “The Jiang family was originally a small noble family and Jiang Sheng was the only son. His family was rich, so they let him study and hoped that he would pass the examination. Jiang Sheng was engaged to the daughter of a family member from Ling County when he was young. The two families were family friends. However, the Jiang family was from Yong County. After Mr. Jiang became rich, he moved back to his hometown. The two families agreed that when the children of the two families grew up, they would prepare a wedding for them.”

“Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. Less than ten years after the Jiang family returned to their hometown, they gradually fell into decline. His parents passed away one after another. When Jiang Sheng was sixteen, he proposed marriage. However, the Jiang family was broke, and Mr. and Mrs. Jiang had already passed away, so that family went back on their word. They beat Jiang Sheng up and chased him out. When Jiang Sheng went back after being rejected, the news spread out and he became a hot topic of discussion among his neighbors. In the past few years, Jiang Sheng took the county-level examination every year, but failed every time. He asked his teacher to recommend him but his teacher said that his writing was awful and refused him.”

After Wei Shilai finished speaking, he frowned. “No one knows how he obtained the power. None of his neighbors know that he’s different. However, a few women nearby said that he seems to have become rich recently. He has been drinking good wine and eating meat for a long time.”

After hearing what Wei Shilai said, Liu Sanniang responded. “Sir, I want to see him.”

Wei Shilai looked solemn. “Miss Liu, can you handle it?”

Liu Sanniang looked at Wei Shilai and said, “I’ll give it a try.”

Wei Shilai thought for a moment. “Alright, I’ve already written another report and sent it to the capital last night. I can only keep him locked up for the time being. Lin Zheng is keeping an eye on him. You can go see him.”

“Lin Zheng??”

Liu Sanniang was puzzled. She asked. “Why don’t you let Chu Yan watch him?”

Wei Shilai smiled. “Chu Yan is only responsible for protecting you.”

When Chu Yan came to the government office and made his request, Wei Shilai was stunned. He was able to subdue Lin Zheng in a second and didn’t ask for money. There was no reason for Wei Shilai to reject him.

Though Chu Yan was a constable, Wei Shilai didn’t really have any authority over Chu Yan.

Wei Shilai brought Liu Sanniang to the county prison. Jiang Sheng had a special identity and was locked up alone. Only Lin Zheng was guarding him inside, but there were many guards outside.

After entering, Lin Zheng looked a little tired. “Sir, Miss Liu, be careful. He can use his ability even without talking.”

Lin Zheng’s eyes darkened. He had been tricked last night. If not for his firm mind, he would have been bewitched by Jiang Sheng.

If Jiang Sheng was any stronger, he would be in danger.

Wei Shilai looked solemn. If such a dangerous person managed to get away, it was unimaginable what kind of atrocities he would commit.

Jiang Sheng was blindfolded and gagged. His entire body was tied up tightly. When he heard footsteps and heard Lin Zheng talking to Liu Sanniang, he started struggling.

If he wasn’t tied up, he would have taken Yu Zhenzhen’s life last night. That way, he could leave this place.

Lin Zheng’s mind was very firm. He was able to stay focused. Once he knew his mind was drifting away, he would bite his tongue to stay sober and firm.

Wei Shilai looked at Lin Zheng. “Go and rest first. Find some people with a strong mind to replace you.”

Only by having a determined mind could one not be bewitched.

Lin Zheng nodded and left.

Wei Shilai looked at him in the cell and said, “Jiang Sheng, I’ve already found out your identity. You’d better give up resisting and plead guilty.”

Jiang Sheng’s mouth was gagged and his eyes were covered. He was furious and wanted to take out the rag from his mouth and remove the cloth from his eyes.

Liu Sanniang looked at the bound man and said, “Jiang Sheng, let me introduce myself officially. My name is Liu Sanniang and I’m a psychic.”
