Chapter 46: Confrontation
The only option left was for the two Li Yazhi to confront each other.
Li Yazhi was stunned for a moment before looking at Yu Shilai. “Mr. Yu, is the criminal who impersonated me still in the mansion?”
Wei Shilai nodded. They were exactly the same. If not for Liu Sanniang’s psychic ability, everyone would be fooled.
Li Yazhi immediately felt dizzy. She burst into rage. “Quick, go and save Yanshu. How can we let Yanshu stay with her?”
As Li Yazhi spoke, she staggered up and ran out.
She was kidnapped and saw some terrifying scenes there. They did not give her anything to eat. She even cried for a long time. At this moment, she did not have much strength. However, she was really concerned about her daughter’s safety. Even though she was weak, she still stumbled and ran towards her courtyard.
Li Yazhi, who was disheveled and poorly dressed, didn’t look like a lady from a rich family at all.
Even Old Master Zhou began to wonder if she was real.
But Li Yazhi could no longer wait. She was eager to see if her daughter was safe.
‘I can’t wait.’
Old Master Zhou had already stood up and walked out silently.
Only then did Wei Shilai have a chance to ask Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, did anything happen in this mansion?”
Liu Sanniang told Wei Shilai about what occurred earlier.
Wei Shilai looked at Liu Sanniang gratefully. “Miss Liu, thank you.”
Wei Shilai was glad that Liu Sanniang did not back off. Otherwise, the outcome would have been catastrophic.
Liu Sanniang asked. “Sir, did everything go well on your side?”
Wei Shilai shook his head. “They almost escaped, but after knowing that they couldn’t, they committed suicide. I’ve already asked the coroner to do an autopsy.”
Wei Shilai felt a lingering fear just thinking about it. If he went any later, these girls who were less than two years old would be taken away and might never be found again.
Liu Sanniang looked at Wei Shilai and said solemnly, “Sir, the person behind this is powerful. The woman who impersonated First Madam Zhou is called Hong Ying. I saw all the memories of her training. This is not her first time committing a crime.”
Wei Shilai felt a tightness in his chest. When he heard what Liu Sanniang said, anger surged in him. These people simply deserved no pity.
“Miss Liu, do you have a way to capture this woman and keep her alive? Then, you can read her mind. It’s best if you can find more clues.”
Wei Shilai knew this case was connected with something much bigger. Now that it was confirmed, this was already beyond his ability to handle it.
He wanted to collect more evidence and report it to the emperor.
Liu Sanniang was in a difficult position. “I don’t know.”
If they really fought, she was definitely not Hong Ying’s match.
Wei Shilai wanted her to use her psychic power to deal with Hong Ying, but Liu Sanniang did not know other than reading people’s mind, what else could she do with her ability.
Wei Shilai sighed.
Li Yazhi stumbled back to the courtyard and knocked on the door. “Tao Hong, Liu Lu, open the door. Granny, open the door and bring Yanshu out. Hurry.”
Li Yazhi felt that she had used up all her strength. She had never been so tired before. She leaned against the door and sat down weakly.
When she thought of someone impersonating her, Li Yazhi trembled in fear.
At the thought that her dear daughter was still inside, she had no choice but to continue banging on the door.
The servant girl quickly opened the door. When she saw the familiar face, she screamed in fear. “Ah…”
Hearing the scream, Tao Hong and Liu Lu, who were waiting in the room, come out. Liu Lu scolded her. “Why are you screaming? Didn’t I say that no one is allowed to open the door without Madam’s permission? Why are you… Ah…”
Before she could finish, she saw Li Yazhi and let out an ear-piercing scream.
Li Yazhi had already stood up slowly with the help of the door frame. “Tao Hong, Liu Lu, where’s Yanshu? Hurry up and bring her to me.”
Tao Hong and Liu Lu opened their mouths but couldn’t utter a sound, their eyes wide with fear.
Two madams. How was that possible?
“M-Madam…”
Tao Hou called instinctively.
Li Yazhi looked anxious. “Where is Yanshu? Where is my precious daughter?”
Li Yazhi was most worried about her daughter. She did not have the time to explain anything to the two maidservants. She just wanted to confirm if her daughter was safe.
“What’s going on outside? Why is it so noisy?”
Hong Ying’s voice came from inside the house. Soon, she came out, followed by Granny Li and Nanny, who was carrying the child.
Li Yazhi felt like she was about to suffocate when she saw someone who looked exactly like her walk out.
Li Yazhi shivered and all the hair on her body stood up. “Monster, you’re a monster!”
The person in front of her was no different from her in terms of appearance, voice, and figure. She was not a human, but a monster in human skin.
All the servants dropped their jaws at the sight of two identical Madam Zhou.
Li Yazhi came back to her senses and rushed over, wanting to tear off Hong Ying’s face to show everyone that she was fake.
However, Hong Ying wouldn’t let her approach so easily. Her expression turned cold. “Tao Hong, Liu Lu, what are you waiting for? Catch this imposter.”
Hong Ying’s voice was stern. Tao Hong and Liu Lu immediately stopped the real Li Yazhi.
In any case, they weren’t to blame for not being able to tell apart these two madams, because they looked exactly like each other.
Hong Ying was domineering. She did not show any fear or guilt. The servants did not dare to disobey her. On the other hand, the real Li Yazhi was in a sorry state with a miserable face. She did not look like a girl from a rich family at all.
Li Yazhi was grabbed by her maidservant and screamed. “Tao Hong, Liu Lu, can’t you even recognize me? What’s the use of having you two with me for so many years? I will sell the two of you!”
Li Yazhi was furious. The servant girls who had been with her since she was young could not recognize her.
When Tao Hong and Liu Lu heard that, their hearts trembled.
They didn’t know whom to believe, but when Li Yazhi said that she was going to sell them, the two of them instantly treated her as a fake.
