She looked at Liu Sanniang and tears fell drop by drop. Why did Liu Sanniang not look guilty at all?
She was suffering in her place. Liu Sanniang was supposed to be tormented by guilt.
Liu Sanniang slowly retracted her hand from Liu Yinniang’s hand and said calmly, “I can save you.”
Liu Yinniang looked at her hand awkwardly. Liu Sanniang did not take her seriously. If it were Liu Hui, Liu Zhi’er, or any of the others, she would definitely be flustered and worried about them.
Liu Yinniang lowered her eyes. “Sanniang, then save me. I really have no one else to fall back on.”
She needed Liu Sanniang to side with the Crown Prince. It should be a very simple request. In the future, the Crown Prince would be the emperor anyway. What was there to consider about?
Liu Yinniang looked up at Liu Sanniang. Just as she was about to speak, Liu Sanniang asked calmly. “Yinniang, have you ever thought of leaving Liu Shun?”
Liu Yinniang was stunned and swallowed her words. She asked in return. “Why should I leave Liu Shun? Sanniang, it’s not like that. As long as you…”
Liu Sanniang’s expression was calm as she continued. “Is Liu Shun good to you? If you don’t want to leave him, why should I save you?”
Liu Yinniang looked at Liu Sanniang. She was stunned as if this was the first time she had seen Liu Sanniang. She opened her mouth a few times but couldn’t bring herself to say anything. She did not know why Liu Sanniang was so cold to her. Liu Yinniang pursed her lips. “Sanniang, you don’t want to help me, right?”
Liu Sanniang shook her head. “No, you’re the one rejecting me. Liu Shun is not a good person. Why don’t you leave him?”
Liu Yinniang looked away. “I have my reasons. My parents are looking forward to life here. My brothers all have a job here. If they leave, they will lose everything. I don’t care about it, but what about them?”
Liu Yinniang looked at her. “Sanniang, it’s actually very simple to help me. Can you work for the Crown Prince? When you were in Yong County, weren’t you also working for Magistrate Wei? What could Magistrate Wei give you? The Crown Prince will be the ruler of the country in the future. There will only be advantages and no disadvantages for you to follow him, right?”
Before Liu Sanniang could speak, she continued. “Sanniang, Liu Shun said that as long as you side with the Crown Prince, he’ll let me go. I’m already married to him. There’s no way to change this, but you can choose.”
After saying that, Liu Yinniang looked at Liu Sanniang.
As long as Liu Sanniang was sincere about helping her, such a request was nothing to her. If she failed to persuade Liu Sanniang, what awaited her would be misery.
She prayed that Liu Sanniang would show her mercy.
Liu Yinniang looked at Liu Sanniang’s calm expression and was extremely sad. She was about to kneel down. “Sanniang, I’m begging you, okay? The Crown Prince will treat you very generously. At that time, Dalang, Erlang, and the others will all be able to come to the capital to reunite with you.”
Liu Sanniang did not let Liu Yinniang kneel down. She helped Liu Yinniang up and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. “Yinniang, I won’t side with anyone. I have my things to do. If you want me to save you, there’s only one way. Leave Liu Shun and tell your parents and brothers about how you are being treated by him. I believe that if they know, they won’t want you to suffer.”
Liu Yinniang took two steps back. “You don’t know anything. You are not even willing to help me with such a simple request. I’m already married to Liu Shun. I’m his wife. If I leave him, what will happen to me when I go back to Yong County? I will be mocked and looked down upon for the rest of my life.”
Liu Yinniang looked at Liu Sanniang with resentment in her eyes. “Why did you reject Liu Shun back then?”
“If you didn’t refuse him, you would be the one suffering now. I am the one who suffers the calamity for you. Why can’t you save me from the calamity?”
Liu Yinniang stared at Liu Sanniang. From the beginning to the end, Liu Sanniang didn’t reveal any signs of being guilty or sorry.
Liu Yinniang’s expression turned cold.
Liu Sanniang asked her calmly. “Why should I, knowing that he is not a good person, be with him?”
Liu Yinniang looked at Liu Sanniang and sneered. “Hehe… Is that so?”
Liu Sanniang frowned. “In this world, the only person who can save you is yourself. Any choice you make has nothing to do with others. Yinniang, this is your choice. You have…”
Liu Yinniang snorted. “Enough. Just pretend that I didn’t come today.”
She would just assume she never came and never knew Liu Sanniang. Liu Yinniang ran out, not wanting to hear what she had to say.
Liu Sanniang sighed. As expected, what was fated couldn’t be altered.
The outcome of Liu Yinniang marrying Liu Shun was preordained.
The black aura on Liu Yinniang’s face indicated that her life was in danger.
Liu Sanniang was not in a good frame of mind. General Black lay beside her and let her touch him. Liu Sanniang was still in a melancholic mood. Everything was different now. Everything from her previous life was changing.
Liu Yinniang’s ending and Liu Shun’s ending had both changed.
The rain did not stop. In the afternoon, Liu Sanniang did not have much of an appetite. She sat in the house, deep in thought.
When Chu Yan entered, Liu Sanniang smelled a sweet fragrance. He put down the plate. “Eat.”
Liu Sanniang looked at the pastry in the shape of a rabbit and asked. “What is this?”
Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang and replied with a smile. “It’s what rabbits like to eat.”
Liu Sanniang was a little embarrassed. She was not a rabbit.
However, these pastries were really cute and delicious. After she ate them, her mood improved subconsciously.
Chu Yan also took one and ate it slowly. Liu Sanniang was a little distracted, thinking to herself that she looked like the rabbit being eaten away by him.
Chu Yan glanced at Liu Sanniang with a puzzled look.
Liu Sanniang quickly looked away. He said with a chuckle, “Are you feeling better?”
Liu Sanniang nodded. Chu Yan seemed to know her very well and knew what she was thinking.
Chu Yan said calmly, “You’ve given her many chances, but every time, she made the wrong choice. No matter what reason or excuse she has, it’s her business. What does her matter have to do with you?”
