Chapter 57: Tear Off Your Fake Face (Part 5)

There were tears in Hong Ying's eyes. They slid down her face, but she was smiling. She seemed very happy.

However, happy memories were always short.

She was later stolen and sent to a strange place. From then on, she no longer had her parents by her side.

The brutal training went on and on.

She was a puppet who did all kinds of bad things without knowing or understanding it.

There was no longer any emotion in her heart. In her heart, there was only her master. She had to be loyal and work for her master until she died.

Even if she was caught, she would have to use her power to activate the poison to commit suicide.

But now she was at a loss.

She was originally the apple in her parents' eyes. It was the master whom she respected and was loyal to who destroyed all of that.

Hong Ying opened her eyes, looking very confused. She looked at Liu Sanniang with reverence and hoped that Liu Sanniang could show her the way.

Liu Sanniang looked at Hong Ying and said, Hong Ying, do you know that your father has been bearing the sins for all the crimes you've committed? He prayed to the heavens that as long as you are safe and sound, he will be willing to do anything. Do you think that you'll be free if you commit suicide by taking poison? Now, let me show you what your friends ended up experiencing after their death.

If not for Liu Sanniang, those seven people would have been trapped in endless pain and would have turned into resentful ghosts.

Hong Ying suddenly revealed a terrified expression. It turned out that after death, one still had to pay for one's sins.

Hong Ying could not remain calm. She curled up and rolled on the ground in an extremely sorry state. She took in deep breaths, but it was as if she could not breathe. She was in extreme pain.

Officer Zhou could not stand it anymore. He ran towards Hong Ying and sat down next to her. The more worried he was about Hong Ying, the more sins he had to bear.

Suddenly, Hong Ying seemed to be in less pain.

Officer Zhou's voice was hoarse. Mingzhu, my daughter. My beloved daughter, as long as you are well, let me bear all the sins for you.

Liu Sanniang said calmly, Zhou Mingzhu, aren't you going to reveal your true look?

Hong Ying looked at Officer Zhou, who broke down in front of her. His aged face overlapped with the blurry face in her memory. She called out tearfully, Father save me.

Hong Ying's appearance, height, and figure finally started to change. In a short time, she returned to her original appearance and was no longer Li Yazhi.

Hong Ying looked at Officer Zhou and cried. Father, save me.

She was so sad and scared.

Officer Zhou's vision was blurry. He used all his strength to pick her up. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Father is here. Father will save you.

Finally, the fake Madam Zhou was exposed.

Old Master Zhou's face darkened. He wished he could behead Hong Ying immediately.

Wei Shilai cupped his hands at Old Master Zhou. Old Master Zhou, Hong Ying is the daughter of Officer Zhou, Zhou Mingzhu. She's also a serious criminal. Now that father and daughter have reunited, we might get a lot of clues from her. Old Master Zhou, don't worry. I'll definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.

Although Old Master Zhou had already retired from the imperial court, what he had done for the country was indelible. Even now, the emperor respected him.

Moreover, his grandson, Zhou Chengwen, had become an official in the imperial court as well.

Magistrate Wei, I believe in you.

Old Master Zhou looked at Wei Shilai and said calmly. Wei Shilai was not a person who would curry favor with others, but he was also a person who knew his limits.

Since Old Master Zhou said so, the rest of the Zhou family naturally had no objections.

Wei Shilai gave Lin Zheng a look. Lin Zheng raised his hand and beckoned two men to grab Hong Ying. Hong Ying did not resist, and Officer Zhou was also helped away.

After the matter was resolved, all the constables who were mobilized to guard the mansion could leave. They could finally let down their guards.

Wei Shilai was still a little worried that Hong Ying would commit suicide just like the seven people he had caught.

After leaving the Zhou Mansion, Wei Shilai looked at Liu Sanniang. Miss Liu, I have something to ask of you.

Liu Sanniang smiled, knowing what Magistrate Wei wanted her to do. Sir, don't worry. She's no longer Hong Ying. She's Zhou Mingzhu. If you have any questions, just ask. She will tell you the truth.

Wei Shilai was relieved and thanked her again. Miss Liu, thank you so much this time. You

Wei Shilai knew that Liu Sanniang had become stronger and seemed to have been enlightened. Wei Shilai was really afraid that her ability would prevent her from getting married.

Liu Sanniang smiled. Sir, don't worry. Everything is fated.

That was the only way to comfort herself. She was worried that Mr. Liu and Madam Wei would not be able to accept this though.

Actually, she also wanted to get married. She wanted to find a gentle husband, have children, and have a perfect life. This was her wish for two lifetimes.

Seeing that Liu Sanniang was so open-minded about marriage, Wei Shilai was relieved. Daoists walked a different path than the normal people, and Wei Shilai respected her even more.

He used to treat Liu Sanniang as a friend, but now, he saw her as a master.

Wei Shilai cupped his hands. Goodbye, Miss Liu.

Wei Shilai still had work to do, so he had to go back first.

Zhu Zongyang looked a little embarrassed. He opened his mouth and said, Sir

But Wei Shilai ignored him.

Zhu Zongyang looked at Li Jinggui, Jingchen, and Jingming and said awkardly, Masters

He agreed to reward them handsomely, but the thing was that they were not the ones who solved this case.

Magistrate Wei would definitely not agree to pay them.

Li Jingui smiled. Don't worry. I didn't do anything anyway. Goodbye.

Jing Ming and Jing Chen did not look at Zhu Zongyang. Jing Chen walked towards Liu Sanniang. Miss, please tell me who is your master.

Liu Sanniang said without thinking, I don't have a master. I was gifted with this power all of a sudden.

Jing Ming was surprised. The chosen one?

How lucky was she to suddenly possess the power that others dreamed of? What kind of good deed did she do to become the chosen one?

Jing Mingcai was surprised, but Jing Chen denied it. You can't be the chosen one. If you don't want to tell me, forget it.

There might not be a chosen one in a thousand years. Liu Sanniang was just a woman, so how could she be the chosen one? She just didn't want to tell them.
