Chapter 140: Eating Fish

All the sins that Zhao Anhuai had committed would have to be paid after his death.

He was not Zhou Mingzhu who had a father and was willing to bear the sins for her. He had to bear his sins himself.

He had to go where he needed to pay his debts before he could be reborn.

Not long after returning to the Zhao Mansion from the prison, Sun Yarou came to the courtyard. She asked the servants to leave. Sun Yarou took out a box. Miss Liu, this is your reward.

If not for Liu Sanniang, she might not have known the truth until her death. When she thought of that possibility, her heart felt like it was being strangled by a rope.

Liu Sanniang opened the box. There were five banknotes inside, each worth one hundred taels.

Sun Yarou smiled faintly and said softly, There are many interesting places in Yuezhou. If you're interested, you can look around. Next, I have to prepare my son's funeral, so I can't come to see you.

Liu Sanniang nodded. My condolences.

Sun Yarou smiled. Goodbye.

She was still sad, but she would get over it.

After Sun Yarou left, Liu Sanniang began to pack her things. She only brought a set of clothes with her when she came to Yuezhou. However, it was rare for her to travel so far. She wanted to stay in Yuezhou for two days and buy some things for her parents.

Chu Yan walked into the room and picked up the suitcase. Liu Sanniang was a little embarrassed and said, Are we leaving now?

Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang. Up to you.

Liu Sanniang thought for a moment and said, Then, let's leave now.

Sun Yarou had asked her for help to see if her son had been swapped. Now that the truth was revealed and the family had started preparing their son's funeral, Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan were outsiders, so it was not suitable for them to stay any longer.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan left the Zhao Mansion. Yuezhou was very prosperous. Since it was near the sea, there was a lot of seafood available.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan stayed at the inn. The waiter was very enthusiastic and introduced the city to Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan.

Liu Sanniang listened attentively. She was born in Yong County, which was located in Yuzhou. It was mostly mountainous, and the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter were quite distinct. It was not like Yuezhou, because it was near the sea, and the climate was relatively hot through the year.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival in Yuzhou, autumn had started to turn cold. However, in Yuezhou, it was still very hot.

Liu Sanniang ordered some specialties and sour plum soup to cool down. She liked such a bustling street. From the window upstairs, she could see the bustling street below.

Unknowingly, Liu Sanniang finished eating three desserts. She reached out and Chu Yan grabbed her hand. Liu Sanniang wanted to retract her hand.

Chu Yan wiped her hands with a handkerchief. You're not allowed to eat anymore until dinner.

Liu Sanniang remembered that she had indeed eaten a lot and did not speak. She looked at the handkerchief in Chu Yan's hand and said, I'll do it myself.

Chu Yan did not let go of her. He carefully wiped every finger of hers.

Liu Sanniang's hand was not big, and her fingers were long. She did not have long nails, but her fingers were round and pink, looking very cute. Chu Yan pinched it.

Liu Sanniang's face was already red. She couldn't pull her hand back and was flustered. Let go.

Chu Yan let go and smiled softly. It's chubby.

Liu Sanniang did not dare to look at Chu Yan and felt a sense of danger.

Even if Chu Yan was smiling, it did not change the fact that he was a wolf.

Liu Sanniang shifted her gaze to look at the scenery outside.

A fish cart filled with fish stopped at the entrance of the inn. The waiter ran out. Miss Xu Xue, you're here. The fish are not bad today. They're big, fat, and fresh.

Xu Xue smiled. My father just came back from the sea today. Do you want it?

The waiter nodded and quickly said, Yes, yes, yes. Come with me to the back door.

Liu Sanniang's gaze landed on Xu Xue. As if sensing that someone was looking at her, she looked up at the window and met Liu Sanniang's gaze. Xu Xue smiled and followed the waiter.

Liu Sanniang retracted her gaze. Xu Xue was pretty, but she had been poisoned. In her brain, there was a worm.

Xu Xue's perception was stronger than others, so she sensed it when Liu Sanniang looked at her for a while.

At night, Liu Sanniang ate delicious and fresh fish.

She didn't know what kind of fish it was, but it was delicious.

Seeing that she had finished eating, the waiter said proudly, It's delicious, right? If you like it, you can stay for a few more days. There are fish like this every day. It was sent by the fishing girl you saw in the afternoon.

Liu Sanniang asked the waiter. Does she often send fish to your inn?

The waiter replied with a smile. That's right. Her family is quite honest. Our innkeeper has been working with her family for a long time. The fish they send over are fresh and the price isn't very high. She's quite a good girl.

If you like it, you can buy some fish and make it into dried fish. It's also delicious.

The waiter looked at Liu Sanniang and felt that she was really nice, so he couldn't help but be nice to her too.

Liu Sanniang nodded. Then, please help me make some. I'll take it back to my family.

The waiter agreed. No problem.

Chu Yan frowned and glanced at the waiter.

Chu Yan's eyes were as dark as ink, like a wolf patrolling its territory, warning outsiders.

The waiter instantly felt Chu Yan's unfriendly gaze and took a step back. I'll go down first. Call me if you need anything.

After the waiter went down, Chu Yan said, Let's go to the beach tomorrow.

Liu Sanniang's eyes lit up. As if afraid that Chu Yan would notice her thoughts, she lowered her head and nodded. Sure.

After the meal, Liu Sanniang returned to her room and jumped around happily. She had never been to the beach. In her previous life, she lived for 75 years without stepping outside Yong County.

She began to look forward to seeing what the beach was like.

At night, Liu Sanniang had a dream.

She opened her eyes and realized that she was in a dark room. There was a bloody smell in the room. She looked around and saw an extremely old man holding a black jar.

The jar jiggled as if something was moving inside. The smell of blood came from that jar.

It was dawn.

After Liu Sanniang got up, she couldn't help but think. This was Yuezhou. What did her dream want to tell her?

The breakfast in Yuezhou was special.

When she woke up early in the morning, the waiter introduced her enthusiastically. Miss, breakfast in Yuezhou is something we are really proud of. You must try it.

Chu Yan glanced at him coldly, and the waiter immediately shut up.
