Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
From the moment she started to speak, the entire house fell silent.
Liu Cheng’s mother began to tremble violently, trying to pull her hand back. Those who were watching felt as if there was a very scary person sitting behind the curtain.
She wanted to stop Liu Sanniang from continuing further.
However, with her eyes closed, Liu Sanniang did not stop because of her struggle.
“You conceived eight times, but you only gave birth to one son. You loved him like your life. You protected him as he grew up. The son was your hope. The son grew up, but the family was destitute and could not get a wife. Your husband blamed you for being incompetent. You had no choice. You scrimped and saved some silver and bought a fool from a human trafficker to be your son’s wife.”
“The fool will do anything for a bite of food. You can finally relax and let her do all the dirty work.”
“Your son despises his stupid wife. He beats her and scolds her. He doesn’t treat her as a human. You clap your hands, telling your son to hit her harder and that a good wife comes out of beating.”
“The fool is getting more and more obedient. She’s trying her best to please each and every one of you.”
“Your husband gave the fool a piece of malt candy out of pity. When you saw it, you beat her up ruthlessly. You said, ‘You bitch, you seduced a man and I’ll beat you to death.’ The fool was pregnant then and that beating caused her to miscarry.”
“Later, she’s pregnant again. She’s so thin, and her face is so ugly. You dislike her even more. Sometimes you give her leftovers, sometimes you don’t. One day, your son comes to you and says he doesn’t want the fool anymore and likes another girl.”
“But if you don’t have money, how can your son marry another girl? You decide to use the fool’s life smartly. Before she gave birth, you were worried that she wouldn’t die. You even fed her abortion medicine. The medicine… The rest of the medicine is buried in your backyard vegetable field.”

Liu Sanniang was a little choked up. She had never seen such a ruthless person. She felt terrible. Even if all this had nothing to do with her, what she sensed made her feel painful. She really wanted to go back to that time to give the stupid wife a steamed bun.
Liu Sanniang let go and took a deep breath.
As for Liu Cheng’s mother, she was already sweating profusely, her eyes filled with fear and resentment. “I didn’t kill that fool. No, I didn’t do such a thing!”
Liu Cheng’s mother tried her best to deny it, but what she said was completely untrue. Naturally, no one believed her.
This was because when Liu Sanniang said that she had sensed it, Liu Cheng’s mother was very terrified and in disbelief.
Zhu Zongyang, who was observing her, recorded everything in detail.
Wei Shilai was also extremely shocked. After the telepathy session ended, he quickly regained his composure and instructed Lin Zheng. “Go to their vegetable garden and dig it up. See if there is any medicine buried under it. If there is, bring it back and get a doctor to examine it.”
It would take a long time for the medicine to degrade and disappear into the soil.
Lin Zheng nodded. “Yes.”
He went out, still with doubts in his mind.
When Liu Cheng’s mother heard that the constable was going to the vegetable garden to dig up the medicine, her legs went limp and she knelt down. Her behavior undoubtedly proved that what Liu Sanniang had said was true.
Wei Shilai looked at Liu Cheng with an eagle-like gaze. Liu Cheng was already unable to control his emotions. His eyes darted around and he kept swallowing his saliva. These were all signs of panic.
Wei Shilai raised his hand and let the officers bring Liu Cheng’s father to his seat.
After what happened to Liu Cheng’s mother, Liu Cheng’s father was naturally terrified by the unknown person sitting behind the curtain, who had the ability to read people’s minds.
However, no matter how much he resisted, he could not beat the young and strong officers. His wrist was grabbed and put into the curtain.
Liu Sanniang placed her finger on it.
“Your name is Liu Laogen. You’re an incompetent man. You don’t farm in the spring, don’t work in the summer, and don’t work in the autumn. In the winter, you either sleep or drink. Outside, you are a coward. At home, you beat your wife until she kneels and begs for mercy.”
“You have no ability, but you blame your wife for being incompetent and buying your son a fool as wife. What can a fool do? She won’t say anything if she’s bullied. You often tease her. Although she is a fool, she’s young and better-looking than your old wife. Slowly, you start to lust for her.”
“You don’t feel any guilt watching your stupid daughter-in-law get beaten up. She doesn’t look good at all when she loses weight. It’s annoying to see her. If it weren’t for the fact that she can give birth, she would have been chased out long ago. When you find out about their plan, not only do you not stop them, you even happily plot together and wait for her to give birth. You frame a family and then falsely accuse them to get money. A hundred taels! You can stay in the casino for half a month with that amount.”
Liu Sanniang let go. Her face was already a little pale, and she quickly took a sip of water from her teacup.
Liu Cheng’s father, Liu Laogen, was so scared that he almost peed in his pants. His face was livid. “This is nonsense. Your Lordship, this is slander.”
Zhu Zongyang’s hand trembled as he held the brush. This family was simply too evil.
The father was bad, the mother was bad, and the son was bad.
The only innocent one, the fool, was dead.
The last one was Liu Cheng. He was already sweating profusely. He wanted to break free, but he could not.
The officers grabbed him tightly. No matter how unwilling Liu Cheng was, he was still pressed on his seat and his hand was put into the curtain.
As for Liu Cheng’s mother and father, they had already broken down completely and stopped resisting.
Looking at Liu Cheng’s hand, Liu Sanniang took a deep breath. Liu Cheng was the key. She needed to exert all her energy to read his mind, even if it might cause her to faint.
All she needed to do was tell Magistrate Wei everything she sensed. She would leave the investigation to Magistrate Wei. She was sure that Liu Cheng had left some evidence behind.
She placed a finger on Liu Cheng’s hand and closed her eyes.
She felt a force gathering around her. She saw a lot and started to speak. “Your name is Liu Cheng. You’re the only son. You’re lazy and exactly like your father. You are a coward outside, but when you return home, you’re the overlord of the family.”
“Your mother listens to everything you say. Your stupid wife knows your position in the family. She tries to please you, but you hit her and kick her. You step on her shoulders and watch her grovel and that makes you happy. From that, you derive endless pleasure.”
