372 Liu Yinniang’s Death
Madam Bai still wanted to persuade her, but she suddenly saw a black head squeeze out from behind Liu Sanniang. It looked at Madam Bai ferociously, making the lady shiver and take two steps back involuntarily.
Liu Sanniang looked at General Black.
General Black nudged Liu Sanniang’s leg with his head. She had no choice but to move aside. General Black then closed the door with his head.
Liu Sanniang was helpless. She reached out and rubbed General Black’s head.
Liu Sanniang turned around and saw Chu Yan standing by the kitchen door. He said gently, “TIme to eat.”
Liu Sanniang smiled. Liu Yinniang’s ending was destined. She could not change it. The only thing she could do was wait.
After Liu Sanniang shut the door, Madam Bai’s expression took a drastic turn. She looked at the door and her face was twisted with anger. She wanted to reach out and smack the door, but when she thought of that dangerous and ferocious beast, she gave up on the idea reluctantly.
Madam Bai could only curse under her breath and go home.
In the past two days, Liu Yinniang had been coming back home. Madam Bai’s heart ached when she saw her daughter covered in fresh wounds.
When she returned, Liu Yinniang quickly asked. “Mother, how is it?”
Madam Bai shook her head and cursed. “Liu Sanniang is a black-hearted person. She said it’s not necessary and refused to come.”
Liu Yinniang’s heart sank. “Mother, what did you say to her? Why did she refuse to come?”
If Liu Sanniang did not come, their plan would not be carried out. If she returned to the Liu Mansion without the good news, what awaited her would be another round of beating.
Liu Yinniang subconsciously trembled. Madam Bai hugged her sadly. “How can he treat you like this?”
Madam Bai gritted her teeth. The thought of her daughter suffering because of Liu Sanniang made her overcome with anger.
Why didn’t Liu Sanniang help? Why didn’t she agree?
Liu Yinniang looked at her mother, begging. “Mother, go and persuade her to come again.”
Everything was ready. They were just waiting for Liu Sanniang to come.
If Liu Sanniang did not die, she would die.
She had already suffered so much for Liu Sanniang. Why did she still have to lose her life for Liu Sanniang? This was unfair.
Liu Yinniang cried. She was in too much pain.
Madam Bai hugged her daughter, her heart aching.
How could Madam Bai say no to her daughter? She went to look for Liu Sanniang again, but after knocking on the door twice, she heard a deep roar like that of a ferocious beast coming from above.
She looked up and was shocked to see that black dog.
General Black looked at Madam Bai coldly, making her legs go weak and scurry away in fear.
For the next few days, Madam Bai did not dare to go to see Liu Sanniang again.
The servant of the Liu Mansion came over to invite Liu Yinniang back.
Liu Yinniang said with a pale face, “Mother, I’ll go back first. It’s alright. I’ve survived everything in the past. This time is no different.”
Madam Bai’s heart ached. She grabbed Liu Yinniang’s hand tightly and refused to let go. “That bastard. I’ll tell your father about it and ask your brothers to beat him up.”
Madam Bai was sad. She did not marry a rich man. Liu San was just an ordinary farmer. She was bad-tempered, but Liu San never got impatient with her.
She never thought that her daughter would be abused by a seemingly gentle scholar.
Madam Bai thought that if Liu Shun hit her daughter like this, she would get someone to give him a good beating too. She had three sons. They would definitely stand up for their sister.
However, as soon as Madam Bai said that, Liu Yinniang shook her head. “No, the Crown Prince values Liu Shun very much. Mother, the capital is different from Yong County. If my brothers hit Liu Shun, they might be jailed. If the Crown Prince wants to kill someone, it’s a piece of cake for him.”
The only way to save her was if Liu Sanniang was willing to side with the Crown Prince.
If Liu Sanniang was unwilling, she would hate Liu Sanniang for the rest of her life.
Madam Bai was sad. “Yinniang, stay for two more days. Tell him that I’m sick. Don’t go back. He won’t make a fuss. I’m your mother. It’s not a big deal for me to let you stay for a few more days.”
Liu Yinniang smiled weakly and said with a shake of her head, “Mother, the longer I stay, the sadder I’ll be. As long as I’m obedient, he won’t beat me too hard.”
Liu Yin pulled her hand out from Madam Bai and walked out.
She had to face this day sooner or later.
Madam Bai looked at Liu Yinniang’s departing figure and felt inexplicably nervous. She chased after Liu Yinniang and reached out to cover her chest. “Yinniang, Yinniang.”
She did not know why she was so nervous and sad. It felt like she was going to lose her daughter forever.
Liu Yinniang did not look back. She got into the carriage and left.
Madam Bai watched as the carriage drove away. She clenched her fists. If… if Liu Sanniang was not so heartless, her daughter would not have to suffer like this.
They were just ordinary people in the capital, but Liu Shun was valued by the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince was angered, he could easily wipe out her entire family.
Madam Bai felt terrible. When she returned home, she was in a trance.
She lay in bed motionlessly, not even realizing that the sky had turned dark.
When Liu San and the others returned and saw the dark house, they felt worried.
Liu San frowned. “I’ll go see your mother. Go and fix yourself something to eat.”
Liu San walked into the room and saw Madam Bai lying on the bed. He walked over and patted her gently. “What’s wrong? Are you sick?”
Madam Bai was absent-minded and felt a heaviness all over her body. Her eyes were also in pain and she could not open them. “My heart aches so much.”
When she spoke, her voice was hoarse.
Liu San reached out and touched Madam Bai’s forehead. “It’s a little hot. Rest. I’ll go and get some medicine for you.”
Madam Bai felt like crying. She wanted to tell Liu San that she wanted to go and see her daughter, but Liu San had already left.
Madam Bai only remembered that she had a very terrifying dream. In the dream, she saw Liu Yinniang walking further and further down a strange path. She told her to come back, but Liu Yinniang just walked on without looking back.
This made Madam Bai very sad. She cried until her pillow was wet, her eyes were swollen, and her voice was hoarse.
She wanted to get out of bed, but she had no strength.
This day was the end of the nightmare for Liu Yinniang.
