497 If She Makes A Mistake, She’ll die (Part 2)
Xia Qiluo was frustrated. No matter what she said or did, Chu Yan wouldn’t be bothered to cast even a glance at her. What was so good about Liu Sanniang that Chu Yan treated her like this?
A feeling of jealousy grew wildly in Xia Qiluo’s heart. She was the princess who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. How could she be outdone by an ordinary woman?
Xia Qiluo’s thoughts ran wild, but no one noticed it. They were all paying attention to what Liu Sanniang was about to say.
When Wu Changxian heard Xia Qiluo’s words, he felt that it made sense. He also said, “Miss Liu, this is no small matter. Think about it carefully.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Madam Xu. “Was this talisman really given to you by Master Yuan Hui?”
Madam Xu said coldly, “Yes, not only this talisman, but also the one on me.”
Madam Xu took out a yellow talisman. Liu Sanniang reached out to take it. The runes on it were illegible.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Xu Lin is Yuan Hui’s son.”
Madam Xu’s face was pale as she laughed. “Impossible, this is impossible! I swear that if I ever did such a shameless thing with Master Yuan Hui, I would be cut into pieces and be struck by lightning.”
This oath made people shudder. They looked at Madam Xu and then at Liu Sanniang. Not many people had the courage to make this kind of oath even if they were innocent, but Madam Xu did.
Liu Sanniang didn’t say anything.
Xia Qiluo’s expression darkened as she said to Wu Changxian, “Lord Wu, start investigating. I’ll report this matter to my father truthfully. It’s not a trivial matter to profane the Buddhist sect. We have to get to the bottom of it.”
Wu Changxian was a little helpless. He looked at Liu Sanniang worriedly but her expression was still calm, as if she was not worried at all. Wu Changxian was conflicted. He braced himself and said, “This is a very important matter, so we naturally have to investigate it thoroughly.”
Xia Qiluo looked at Madam Xu and said, “I won’t break the promise I made to you. My shifu will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest, but you can also choose to believe Miss Liu. Perhaps she can relieve Young Master Xu of his pain.”
Xia Qiluo left the choice to Madam Xu because she didn’t want people to think of her as a narrow-minded person.
Madam Xu glared at Liu Sanniang and said, “Even if I die, I don’t want Liu Sanniang to interfere. I’ve already asked the princess for help, so I naturally believe her. Moreover, Liu Sanniang slandered me. I won’t tolerate anyone slandering me.”
Madam Xu then looked at Wu Changxian and said, “If Lord Wu let Liu Sanniang interfere, I will end my life here.”
Wu Changxian frowned. He was put in a difficult spot.
He looked at Liu Sanniang and did not know what to do. Master Wu Ju had said that only Liu Sanniang could resolve this matter. However, Madam Xu was strongly averse to Liu Sanniang interfering.
Knowing that Wu Changxian was in a dilemma, Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Then let’s wait a few days.”
Xia Qiluo’s shifu would be here soon. Madam Xu did not believe her, and it was not the right time yet. She would just wait.
Wu Changxian nodded. “Alright, we’ll see what happens after Princess’s shifu arrives.”
Xia Qiluo looked at Liu Sanniang and said coldly, “Whether it’s Duke Xu or Master Yuan Hui, you can’t slander them casually. Everyone has to pay the price for their actions and words, even those from the Mystic world.”
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Princess is right. No matter who it is, they have to pay the price for their actions and words.”
There was no exception.
Xia Qiluo wanted to warn Liu Sanniang, but the calm tone in which Liu Sanniang spoke made her feel even more uncomfortable. She looked at Liu Sanniang and turned to leave.
Wu Changxian looked at Liu Sanniang and sighed. “Miss Liu.”
At this point, if Liu Sanniang could not prove that Xu Lin was the son of Yuan Hui, her life would be in danger.
Wu Changxian was not a fool. He could tell that Xia Qiluo had a grudge against Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang smiled faintly. “It’s fine.”
After Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan left, Wu Changxian sighed.
How would Master Yuan Hui react to Liu Sanniang slandering her like this?
This was a situation where between Liu Sanniang and Yuan Hui, one had to fall. How could Yuan Hui sit back and do nothing? Wu Changxian was worried.
Xu Lin’s condition was strange. Wu Changxian was told that Xu Lin only ate raw food, but now, the servants were instructed by Madam Xu to not send him food. Wu Changxian was afraid that something would happen, so he got people to send Xu Lin back to Duke Xu’s Mansion to let servants take care of him.
With Madam Xu being jailed, the servants all felt insecure.
When the news spread to the palace, everyone fell into deep thought. They didn’t know what to say because this matter sounded too ridiculous. They could only wait and see.
However, at the same time, they were still kept posted at all times about the progress of this case.
Su Yanyu had just returned home from Liu Sanniang’s place. His feeding was not in vain. He could already palpably feel that General Black’s fur was getting glossier, which made him feel proud of himself.
The next day, Su Yanyu found out about what happened at the Ministry of War during breakfast. Mrs. Su looked at Su Yanyu and said, “Yanyu, don’t go to Miss Liu’s place during this period of time just to be safe.”
If Liu Sanniang was really convicted of slandering a venerable abbot, she would face serious punishment. Mrs. Su didn’t want her son to get involved in this matter. Liu Sanniang hadn’t acknowledged Su Yanyu as her disciple yet.
When Su Yanyu heard this, he said, “This is a good opportunity. I’m not afraid. The chance of me becoming Miss Liu’s disciple will definitely increase now.”
He was not going to stay far away. Not only would he go, but he would also go a few times a day.
Marquis Su’s face darkened. “This isn’t a trivial matter. Don’t mess around. Listen to your mother.”
Su Yanyu replied with a sigh. “Father, Mother, you really have no clues about what Miss Liu is capable of. Not to mention Master Yuan Hui, even the entire Cloud Breaking Sect is no match for Miss Liu. If you don’t believe me, just watch. Don’t worry about me. I’m your only son. If I really get involved in something I shouldn’t, the emperor will protect me for your sake.”
