Chapter 53: Tear Off Her Fake Face (Part 1)
Li Yazhi defended herself, saying that she was Zhou Yanshu’s biological mother and that she would never hurt the child.
However, Hong Ying’s eyes turned cold. “You don’t want to harm the child. You just want to replace me. As long as you replace me, you’ll be First Madam Zhou. You’ll be able to enjoy endless wealth and even give birth to your own child. Zhou Yanshu is still young and is no threat to you!”
Li Yazhi was so devastated that she cried.
She was not Hong Ying’s match at all. Seeing that even her husband, Zhou Chengwen, could not recognize her, Li Yazhi closed her eyes and tears rolled down her face. She was the only one who knew how much pain she was in.
Old Master Zhou said calmly, “Be quiet. Magistrate Wei is already here. He has told me that he has a way to differentiate between the two of you.”
Zhou Chengwen looked at Li Yazhi’s sad expression and felt terrible. He wanted to comfort her, but he was forced back by Hong Ying’s cold gaze. He couldn’t tell if this sadness was fake.
He was really worried.
Zhou Chengwen quickly said, “Grandpa, quickly invite Officer Wei in.”
Master Zhou also said, “Dad, hurry up.”
Looking at these two identical daughters-in-law, he was really horrified. They were exactly the same. There was no difference in their voices, looks, and figures. It was impossible to tell who they should believe.
Old Master Zhou waved at Butler Zhou, who immediately went to invite the magistrate in.
When Liu Sanniang arrived at the Zhou Mansion, she found that there were two Daoist priests. She was very familiar with one of them, Granny Li.
When Li Jingui saw Liu Sanniang, she almost lost her composure.
Damn it, didn’t she say she wasn’t going to enter this business? What was she doing here?
When she thought of the last time her mind was read by Liu Sanniang, Li Jingui did not dare to look her in the eye. She regretted coming over. If she had known, she would not have come. How could her ability compare to Liu Sanniang?
It had not been long since they last met, but Liu Sanniang seemed to have become stronger. Li Jingui felt a huge pressure coming on.
Li Jingui looked at the other Daoist fellow. He did not seem to feel anything. Perhaps he had never interacted with Liu Sanniang.
Wei Shilai smiled in embarrassment and said, “Miss Liu, these two are people from the Daoism Sect invited by Assistant Zhu to help.”
Zhu Zongyang spent a lot of effort and time in inviting these people, so Wei Shilai reluctantly agreed to let them come along.
Zhu Zongyang said, “They are all talented masters.”
Liu Sanniang smiled at Wei Shilai. She didn’t mind.
Wei Shilai sighed. It would be best if these daoist priests could solve this case. That way, Liu Sanniang wouldn’t have to reveal her ability. He had checked Liu Sanniang’s family background and knew that Madam Wei had already started to help her daughter look for a good husband. Madam Wei only had one daughter and her daughter was the apple of her eyes.
The reason Liu Sanniang didn’t want to get involved in this case was also because she was afraid that it would affect her marriage.
Although what happened here would not spread, it was better if someone else could solve this case.
When Butler Zhou arrived, he said respectfully to Wei Shilai, “Magistrate Wei, Old Master has been waiting for a long time. Please.”
Wei Shilai nodded. “Then, let’s go.”
Wei Shilai said to Li Jingui and the other, “Masters, please follow me.”
Li Jingui smiled. “Sir, we will do our best.”
The two Daoists had arrogant expressions on their faces. They nodded slightly, and claimed. “Magistrate Wei, it’s our responsibility to eliminate all demons and evil in this world. No one in the taoist sect will sit back and let evil harm people.”
Zhu Zongyang smiled and said respectfully, “Masters, I will reward you handsomely when evil is eliminated.”
They smiled, and their eyes lit up.
Li Jingui came not only because she wanted to make a name for herself, but also because she wanted a handsome reward.
However, her smile was immediately gone when she saw Liu Sanniang standing by the side.
She had been cultivating for more than 20 years, but her ability was far inferior to that of the young lady. Comparisons were odious.
She remembered that Liu Sanniang had said that she did not want to enter this business. Such a beautiful girl probably did not want to be with demons and ghosts. Now that they were here, Li Jingui thought that Liu Sanniang would not choose to not interfere.
Unless she really didn’t want to get married anymore.
The only scenario where Liu Sanniang would interfere would be when none of them could unmask Hong Ying.
If they could successfully tear off Hong Ying’s fake face and expose her true appearance, Liu Sanniang would not interfere. However, if Li Jingui and the others could not do it, Liu Sanniang would use her own way.
Liu Sanniang remained at the back, looking very inconspicuous.
When they arrived at the inner courtyard of the Zhou Mansion, it was crowded.
Old Master Zhou and his family were all here.
The two madams were wearing different clothes and sitting in the middle.
Hong Ying was still very calm. Even though she was surrounded by so many people, she didn’t show any fear or guilt.
On the other hand, Li Yazhi looked healthier than a few days ago. She was not as calm as Hong Ying. After crying, she looked at Zhou Chengwen but he avoided her gaze, which made her sad.
Wei Shilai cupped his hands at Old Master Zhou. “Don’t worry, Old Master Zhou. I’ve already investigated and found a way to expose the fake one.”
Zhou Chengwen couldn’t wait anymore. “Magistrate Wei, please hurry up.”
Zhou Chengwen glanced at Li Yazhi worriedly. He felt that this was his wife, but he was not sure, so when he saw Li Yazhi looking at him, he immediately looked away.
When Li Yazhi heard what Wei Shilai said, there was some hope in her eyes.
Wei Shilai nodded and turned to Li Jingui and the other two. “Masters, please.”
He knew how to catch criminals, but he was clueless when it came to breaking the power of psychics.
Only psychics could break Hong Ying’s power. He hoped that the people Assistant Zhu found were really capable.
