Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang’s back. His eyes darkened.

He had scared her.

Almost all of his power was sealed, so he could not help much with Sanniang’s tribulation. Under his watch, Liu Sanniang was taken away by Wu Ju. Chu Yan wished he could kill him.

Wu Ju was not a good person. This was a factor that Chu Yan could not control. If Wu Ju harmed Liu Sanniang, his thousand years of hard work would be in vain. When he forcefully broke the formation, he hadn’t yet calmed down and almost kissed her. Although he regained his rationality in time, he still scared her.

Chu Yan’s eyes were terrifyingly deep. After a long time, he turned around and left.

Liu Sanniang kept running, as if there was a ghost chasing after her. Her heart was beating extremely fast, and her mind was in a mess. She felt that her home was the only safe place in this world.

She ran home, closed the door, and returned to her room. She climbed into bed, leaned her back against the wall, and wrapped herself in the blanket. After a long time, it gradually darkened outside, but her mind was still blank.

Liu Sanniang began to think seriously. Her fear of Chu Yan seemed to be engraved in her soul, not because Chu Yan was the General of Dingbei in her previous life.

What Chu Yan did in this life was too far from his original life trajectory. In this life, he did not join the army. Instead, he became a constable and was engaged to her.

Liu Sanniang felt extremely uncomfortable.

In a daze, she leaned against the bed and fell asleep unknowingly. Liu Sanniang felt like she was in a furnace. It was hot.

The door was pushed open and she heard footsteps approaching. A hand was placed on her forehead. The warm and comfortable feeling made her open her eyes in a daze. Liu Sanniang asked in a weak voice. “Mother, is that you?”

Madam Wei frowned. “Why do you have a fever?”

......

Liu Sanniang’s forehead was very hot and she became extremely worried.

“Mother, I missed you so much,” Liu Sanniang said with difficulty.

Madam Wei’s heart almost melted. She hugged Liu Sanniang and said gently, “I’m here. Are you too tired? Rest well, okay? You’ve already done a good job. I will cook something you like.”

Liu Sanniang did not hear it clearly but nodded subconsciously. “Mother, thank you.”

Madam Wei sighed helplessly. She didn’t know what she could do to help her daughter.

Liu Sanniang had a fever.

Madam Wei asked Liu Erlang to get a doctor. Liu Dalang and Mr. Liu went to cook. When the doctor came to prescribe medicine, Madam Wei said to Liu Dalang worriedly, “Dalang, go out and ask if something happened in the government office.”

Madam Wei’s heart ached when she saw her daughter falling ill because of exhaustion. She would rather Liu Sanniang be an ordinary person instead of a psychic and lead an ordinary and happy life.

Liu Dalang nodded and went out after eating.

Madam Wei fed medicine to Liu Sanniang but the girl was in a trance. There was a sweet smell lingering at the tip of her nose. She could feel Madam Wei’s presence. Liu Sanniang leaned against her mother and said, “It’s sweet.”

Mother’s love was so sweet.

Madam Wei thought that Liu Sanniang wanted to eat sweet eggs and immediately shouted. “Take care of Sanniang. I’ll cook some eggs for her.”

It was heartbreaking for her to see Liu Sanniang suddenly falling ill.

Mr. Liu quickly came over to sit by the bed and wipe Liu Sanniang’s forehead with a wet handkerchief.

Madam Wei came over with the egg and held Liu Sanniang in her arms while Mr. Liu blew on the sweet water and fed it to Liu Sanniang. Mr. Liu’s eyes were gentle. “Time flies. I remember that Sanniang liked to eat the sweet eggs you cooked when she was young.”

Madam Wei could also feel that the girl in her arms had grown up. She sighed and wished that time could pass slower.

After eating the eggs, Madam Wei put Liu Sanniang to sleep. She asked Mr. Liu to cover their daughter’s forehead with a hot towel to make her sweat.

At midnight, Liu Sanniang’s fever subsided.

Madam Wei heaved a sigh of relief and changed Liu Sanniang’s clothes before she lay down to sleep.

When Liu Sanniang woke up, it was already dawn. She was in Madam Wei’s arms, just like when she was young.

Liu Sanniang inhaled Madam Wei’s scent. It was really sweet.

When Madam Wei woke up, the first thing she did was to touch Liu Sanniang’s forehead. After confirming she was fine, Madam Wei stood up in relief. “Rest well. I will go and cook.”

Liu Sanniang nodded. She was in good spirits now. She also knew that she suddenly had a fever last night, but it disappeared as quickly as it came.

Liu Sanniang got up. Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang were both there to help clean up the house. Liu Sanniang felt a little guilty. She must have made them worried about her terribly.

She went to check in on General Black. The little dog was chubby. When he smelled her scent, he leaned over and licked her palm. Liu Sanniang touched General Black.

After breakfast, Mr. Liu said, “Sanniang, what do you want to eat? I’ll go buy it.”

Liu Erlang said, “Sanniang likes braised pork, steamed meat, braised fish, chicken, duck, and…”

Madam Wei shot a fierce look at him. “Is your name Sanniang?”

Liu Dalang smiled and did not say anything. Liu Erlang continued unabashedly. “Both our favorite foods are the same.”

Madam Wei chuckled. Mr. Liu also smiled. Mr. Liu said, “I’ll go buy the ingredients. Sanniang has lost weight lately. She needs to eat more.”

Madam Wei looked at Liu Sanniang. She had indeed lost weight.

Not long after, someone from the government office came.

Mr. Liu and the others frowned.

Liu Sanniang went to open the door. Officer Zhang smiled and greeted Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang. “Uncle Liu, Dalang and Liu Erlang, you’re at home too.”

Mr. Liu ignored him.

Liu Erlang rolled his eyes at the officer. “We’re not at home.”

Liu Dalang said nothing.

Officer Zhang was stunned. He had just arrived and did not do anything. Why did the Liu family not seem to welcome him…

Liu Sanniang smiled. “Let’s go. We’ll talk on the way.”

Liu Sanniang turned around and was about to tell her father when her father said, “Go ahead. Be careful. Your fever has just subsided. Don’t catch a cold. If you get sick, your mother will be worried.”

‘And we’ll also be worried.’

Liu Sanniang nodded and went out with Officer Zhang.

After leaving the house, Officer Zhang suddenly realized why he wasn’t welcomed in the house a few moments ago. It turned out that Miss Liu was sick, but there was nothing he could do. Miss Liu was a master of the government office, and this case needed her. If it were him, he would also be unhappy if his daughter was sick and had to work.

On the way, Officer Zhang said to Liu Sanniang, “Miss Liu, the fourth murder case has been committed in Dayu Village. The family is also surnamed Huang. They moved there from Huanghu Village twenty years ago. The murderer is the son. He’s a fool.”
