Chapter 129: Suspicion (Part 1)

Seeing Liu Sanniang sitting inside, Wei Shilai walked over. Miss Liu, you're here.

Liu Sanniang nodded. Where is that lady?

Wei Shilai extended his hand. She's upstairs.

Wei Shilai took Liu Sanniang upstairs. This inn had already been entirely booked by Sun Yarou. When they went upstairs, they saw four guards standing outside a door. Wei Shilai walked up and explained his identity.

The guard opened the door and Wei Shilai led Liu Sanniang in.

Sun Yarou had already changed into women's clothes. She was helped out by a servant girl. She glanced at Liu Sanniang indifferently and said calmly, Sir, is this girl the master?

With a serious expression, Wei Shilai said truthfully, That's right. She's the master I hired.

There was surprise in Sun Yarou's eyes. Her words just now were filled with mockery. She had seen many capable psychics, all of whom were in their twenties or thirties. Someone at Liu Sanniang's age would most likely be just an apprentice working for her master.

However, Wei Shilai said that Liu Sanniang was a master herself.

Only then did Sun Yarou seriously size up Liu Sanniang. Her skin was fair, her eyes were clean, and her petite figure was lovable. Without a doubt, she was an extremely beautiful woman.

Liu Sanniang smiled at Sun Yarou. Hello, Madam.

Sun Yarou smiled politely. Hello, Miss. May I know your name?

Liu Sanniang said, I'm Liu Sanniang.

Sun Yarou said, Miss Liu is so young and talented. Where did you learn to be a psychic?

Liu Sanniang shook her head gently. I'm self-taught.

Sun Yarou was stunned.

Sun Yarou was silent for a moment before responding. Miss Liu, Magistrate Wei has already told me that you can read people's minds. I have a request. If you help me resolve it, I will reward you handsomely.

Liu Sanniang looked at Sun Yarou. Madam, just extend your hand.

Sun Yarou paused. She wanted to say that she wasn't the one who needed help, but on second thought, she did not say it. She looked at Liu Sanniang and reached out her hand. She was not sure how capable Liu Sanniang was.

So before that, she needed to try.

She suspected that her son had been swapped. If word got out, it would be a joke. Her husband had told her that she was thinking too much.

Sun Yarou looked at Liu Sanniang. She thought that Liu Sanniang would do something, but Liu Sanniang just held her hand quietly.

When Liu Sanniang released her power, it would break through people's guard and make them resist involuntarily. However, if the power was gentle and comfortable, people would let down their guard.

This was something Liu Sanniang had only learned recently.

Sun Yarou was the first person whose mind she broke through with gentle strength.

Sun Yarou looked at Liu Sanniang who had her eyes closed. She felt a warmth and closed her eyes as well. It felt as if she was soaked in a warm spring. She relaxed involuntarily.

Liu Sanniang sensed what Sun Yarou was thinking.

Liu Sanniang said, Your name is Sun Yarou. Your husband is a fourth-grade official and is the magistrate of Yuezhou. You have two sons and a daughter. You suspect that your eldest son has been swapped.

Sun Yarou opened her eyes and said in a trembling voice, Yes, he still looks the same, but I can feel that he's not my son anymore.

Liu Sanniang let go. In the past, she would not have believed that someone could be swapped, but now, she was not sure.

Anything could happen in this world.

Wei Shilai was shocked to hear this. No wonder Sun Yarou wanted him to keep it a secret.

Magistrate Zhao Fengyun probably did not know this. If he knew that she had such doubts, he would first think that his wife was crazy.

In the past, Wei Shilai wouldn't have believed this, but it was different now. He had seen all kinds of weird things with his own eyes. He said, When did Madam Zhao start to notice it?

Sun Yarou looked at Wei Shilai in shock. Magistrate Wei, do you believe me?

Sun Yarou had been on the verge of a breakdown ever since she started suspecting this matter. She told her husband her suspicions, but he only said that she was thinking too much.

Wei Shilai nodded. The world is so big that there are all kinds of things.

Sun Yarou covered her face and wiped the corners of her eyes. Miss Liu, can you come with me to Yuezhou to clear my doubts?

Liu Sanniang did not agree immediately. She said, I need to go back to discuss this with my parents. I'll give Madam an answer tomorrow.

Sun Yarou nodded. Okay, okay. Miss, please consider it carefully.

In order to clear her doubts, she came all the way to Yong County. She did not want to return empty-handed.

Liu Sanniang looked at Sun Yarou and nodded.

After they left the inn, Sun Yarou stood at the window and watched. She watched Liu Sanniang walk into the crowd and sighed.

Liu Sanniang and Wei Shilai walked together for a while. Wei Shilai told Liu Sanniang what Sun Yarou had told him.

Liu Sanniang looked at Wei Shilai. Sir, you don't have to worry. Your righteousness can destroy evil spirits.

Wei Shilai smiled. I'm relieved to hear that.

After separating, Liu Sanniang went home.

When she turned the corner into Willow Alley, she felt a repulsive presence around her. Liu Sanniang dodged to the side. Liu Shun hurriedly stopped and smelled the fragrance in the air. He was a little regretful. He had already seen Liu Sanniang and deliberately quickened his pace to let Liu Sanniang bump into his arms.

Unfortunately, he did not succeed. He turned around and looked at Liu Sanniang. Sanniang, you want to save Liu Yinniang. Unfortunately, you won't have the chance.

Liu Sanniang frowned. Why did Liu Shun suddenly stop pretending in front of her? She looked at Liu Shun.

Liu Shun chuckled. I know everything. You've become a psychic. I'm really surprised, but unfortunately, you're too soft-hearted. You're destined to fail.

Liu Sanniang did not want to hear Liu Shun's voice. She turned around and left.

Liu Shun looked at Liu Sanniang's back and turned to leave.

At night, Madam Wei told Mr. Liu that Liu Yinniang's marriage had been brought forward to the first of September. There were only a few days left. This was because Liu Shun had been chosen by a big shot in the capital and was going to become an official in the capital.
