The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate

380 Liu Sanniang Is Terrifying (Part 2)

Liu Shun’s eyes were filled with hatred. Liu Sanniang was simply a demon.

She was not human at all. How could she know everything? He resisted her attack with all his might, but to Liu Sanniang, his resistance was pretty much non-existent.

Liu Shun was sweating profusely and convulsing all over his body.

When Liu Sanniang retracted her hands, he fell to the ground like a pile of mud and could not gather himself together for a long time.

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “You enjoy abusing people, and you keep their purses and take them out from time to time to reminisce.”

Liu Shun trembled uncontrollably. He knew he was a demon, but now, he had met a demon even more terrifying than him.

Yi Zilan said expressionlessly, “Watch him carefully. I’ll go and search for evidence myself.”

Liu Shun was now living in the Crown Prince Mansion. It was not easy to search the Crown Prince Mansion, but he did not want to let go of this chance.

Yi Zilan couldn’t bring himself to imagine that horrifying abusing scene, but Liu Shun’s reaction said it all. Everything Liu Sanniang said was true.

Yi Zilan glared at Liu Shun and walked out with his men.

The guards from the Ministry of War frowned. Liu Shun looked scholarly, but in fact, he was a serial murderer.

They immediately felt a chill run down their spines. Indeed, one could not judge a book by its cover.

Liu Shun curled up on the ground and only managed to calm down after a while. He looked at Liu Sanniang. Her expression was cold, as if she couldn’t be bothered to throw him even a glance.

He had already earned enough fortune and fame but in front of Liu Sanniang, he felt more inferior to an ant. Love and hate towards Liu Sanniang were both coexistent.

Liu San looked at Liu Shun angrily and raised his fist, wanting to hit him, but he was quickly stopped by the guard. “Please calm down.”

Madam Bai fainted from exhaustion.

Liu Dashan and his brothers’ eyes were red with anger as they looked at Liu Shun. He was a beast and didn’t deserve to live.

At the thought that Liu Yinniang was killed by him, they blamed themselves even more.

However, they could only wait for Yi Zilan to find the evidence and convict Liu Shun.

After Liu Sanniang accurately identified the location where the corpses were buried, Yi Zilan immediately sent people to investigate it.

As for Yi Zilan, he went to the Crown Prince Mansion.

Xia Hongyuan looked solemn as he asked. “Official Yi, you said that Liu Shun killed several people, but what evidence do you have? Liu Shun is a scholar and doesn’t look like that kind of person.”

“You said the evidence is hidden in my mansion? Who told you that?”

Xia Hongyuan didn’t look like he was going to back down. Liu Shun was a useful person, so he naturally had to protect him.

Yi Zilan said calmly, “Your Highness, the person who interrogated Liu Shun was me. I don’t want to believe that he actually treated human lives like dirt. Please allow me to search his place.”

Xia Hongyuan’s face darkened and he remained silent for a long time.

Xia Qiluo looked at Yi Zilan. “Official Yi, did you use any methods to torture Official Liu into confessing?”

Yi Zilan said, “No.”

Xia Qiluo was curious. “Then how did you get him to confess? I remember that you only asked him some questions. How did he get convicted so soon? According to what you said, Liu Shun didn’t just kill Liu Yinniang but many people. How did you know?”

Yi Zilan frowned. “Do you know Miss Liu who was also at the prayer meeting?”

Xia Qiluo looked instantly displeased. Why was Liu Sanniang everywhere?

What did she want to do?

Thinking about Miao Yin who slowly transformed into a monster, Xia Hongyuan still felt a lingering fear. Liu Shun was a scheming person. Xia Hongyuan did not know if he would kill people. He only knew that Liu Shun was still useful.

Xia Hongyuan ordered coldly. “Go and invite Liu Shun’s mother over.”

The servant immediately went to get her.

Xia Qiluo looked at Yi Zilan and pursed her lips before finally asking. “Is there a man accompanying Miss Liu?”

Yi Zilan looked at Xia Qiluo and replied. “Yes.”

Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang went everywhere together and they were already engaged.

Xia Qiluo bit her lower lip, clenching her fists. What was so good about Liu Sanniang? Why did he want to eat what she left in her bowl and followed her obediently everywhere?

Liu Shun’s mother soon arrived there. Her expression was calm as she said, “Greetings, Your Highness. Greetings, Seventh Princess.”

Xia Hongyuan asked her calmly. “Official Yi said that your son is a beast who kills and abuses others for fun. As his mother, do you know about this?”

Liu Shun’s mother immediately knelt down and cried. “My son is innocent, Your Highness. He’s not that kind of person. He’s diligent and studious. It’s impossible for him to do such a cruel thing.”

Xia Hongyuan looked at Yi Zilan. “I’m afraid I can’t let you search my mansion. I believe Liu Shun’s mother won’t dare to lie to me.”

He was the crown prince and would eventually be the emperor. If anyone lied to him, it was punishable by death.

Liu Shun’s mother replied. “I will never lie to Your Highness.”

Yi Zilan frowned.

The sound of horses galloping could be heard. Yi Zilan looked over and saw that Zhou Changzhu had gone to the abandoned house to investigate. His expression was solemn as he walked up to Yi Zilan and said, “Ten corpses. Coincidentally, they’re all fourteen or fifteen years old girls.”

Xia Hongyuan frowned.

Yi Zilan said, “Your Highness, this is a serious matter. Please reconsider your decision.”

Xia Hongyuan’s face darkened.

Liu Shun’s mother trembled slightly and tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart. “Your Highness!”

She had placed all her hopes on the Crown Prince. Only the Crown Prince could protect Liu Shun.

With displeasure, Xia Hongyuan looked at Yi Zilan and said angrily, “Official Yi, you’re really stubborn. If you want to search, go ahead. I also want to see what you can find.”

His eyes were cold as he silently warned Yi Zilan and gave him pressure.

If Yi Zilan dared to search the Crown Prince Mansion, he would offend someone he couldn’t afford to offend.

But, much to everyone’s surprise, Yi Zilan did it.

He brought his men straight into the mansion.

Xia Hongyuan looked at Liu Shun’s mother. Liu Shun’s mother looked up with fear in her eyes. When she met Xia Hongyuan’s cold gaze, she begged. “Your Highness, you have to save my son.”

Liu Shun was truly cruel, but he was her son after all. She could enjoy a comfortable life all thanks to Liu Shun, so naturally she had to protect him.

Xia Hongyuan said, his eyes filled with killing intent. “He killed dozens of people. Who do you think I am? How can I protect him?”

He wasn’t even given time to get rid of the evidence.

Xia Qiluo’s expression was a little complicated. From Miao Zhen to Miao Yin to the Yang Mansion, Xia Qiluo seemed to come to understand something, but she still did not know what Liu Sanniang was trying to do.

Wasn’t she afraid of offending the royal family?

Without the Crown Prince stopping him, Yi Zilan brought his men to the side courtyard which Liu Sanniang had mentioned. He easily found Liu Shun’s room and opened the box to find a dozen pouches lying inside.
