Chapter 88: Admit My Mistake
Some people came in from outside. The leader was wearing armor and knelt down in front of Su Yanyu. After saying something, Su Yanyu waved his hand impatiently and followed the person out.
Kongyu and Kongling, who were following Su Yanyu, also walked up to the people and said something. They looked in the direction of River Village and followed Su Yanyu.
Officer Zhou ran into the village with the people from the government office. When he arrived in front of Wei Shilai, he said excitedly, “Sir, are you hurt? I thought…”
Officer Zhou’s eyes turned red. It had been ten days since Magistrate Wei went into the village.
The local officials were all here, but they could not enter the fog. Some masters came and set up many formations outside, but it didn’t work.
However, no one expected a beam of light to break through the fog and rise into the sky. Then, they saw the sun rise and the fog gradually dispersed.
Wei Shilai looked at Liu Sanniang and bowed. “This is all thanks to Miss Liu. If not for Miss Liu, we probably wouldn’t have been able to come out.”
Liu Sanniang had led the villagers to experience what it felt like to be abandoned. Even if those vengeful souls could not bring themselves to kill, they would do it one day when their resentment accumulated to a point.
Wei Shilai looked at Chu Yan and said respectfully, “Who is this young man?”
Chu Yan said calmly, “Chu Yan.”
Wei Shilai was a little excited. “Chu Yan, do you want to be a constable?”
Chu Yan said coldly, “I’m not interested.”
Wei Shilai felt it was a pity. He remembered that when the mortuary was on fire the last time, a woman reported that a suspect named Chu Yan was likely to be the arsonist.
However, when he saw Chu Yan now, he knew that Chu Yan was definitely not that kind of person.
He really wanted to recruit him as a constable, but Chu Yan was unwilling. Wei Shilai sighed deeply.
Wei Shilai said to Liu Sanniang, “Miss Liu, I didn’t expect us to be trapped for ten days. Your parents must be worried sick. I’ll get someone to send you back.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. She just wanted to go home and stay away from Chu Yan.
Even though Chu Yan had given her strength to help her, Liu Sanniang still did not want to interact with him.
However, even if Liu Sanniang walked quickly, she still couldn’t shake Chu Yan off. Once Liu Sanniang got into the carriage, she immediately instructed. “Let’s go.”

The constable driving the carriage agreed. “Miss Liu, sit tight. I’ll send you home now.”
Liu Sanniang heaved a sigh of relief when the carriage started moving.
Before Liu Sanniang returned home, she met Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang on the city gate.
The constable jumped off the carriage and said, “Mr. Liu, you don’t have to go to River Village. Miss Liu is here.”
Liu Sanniang got out of the carriage. “Eldest Brother, Second Brother, why are you here?”
Liu Erlang sniffled. “Sanniang, you’re finally back. You scared us to death.”
Liu Sanniang had been gone for ten days and was trapped in that place. They were extremely anxious.
Madam Wei had cried several times and blamed herself for not stopping Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang had always been very obedient. If Madam Wei insisted, Liu Sanniang would have definitely chosen to stay.
Liu Sanniang felt a lump in her throat. “I’m sorry for making you worry.”
Liu Dalang walked towards Chu Yan. “Thank you.”
Liu Sanniang turned around and realized that Chu Yan had been following behind her along the way. She did not know what to say.
Liu Erlang also smiled at Chu Yan. “Let’s go home and eat.”
Liu Sanniang was puzzled. In the few days that she was gone, when did Chu Yan and her eldest and second brother become so close?
Liu Sanniang looked at Liu Erlang, who immediately took two steps back. “Sanniang, don’t read my mind.”
She was speechless.
Liu Dalang chuckled but said nothing.
Since Liu Sanniang’s eldest brother and second brother were here to pick her up, there was naturally no need for a carriage. The constable driving the carriage bid goodbye and left.
Everyone had their privacy. Liu Sanniang would not use her power arbitrarily to peep at their privacy.
She was just curious about what happened in the past few days that made Chu Yan so close to her two brothers?
When they returned home, Madam Wei was the happiest.
Madam Wei’s eyes turned red. “It’s good that you’re back. I’ll go and prepare a few more dishes. You’ve lost weight.”
Madam Wei was about to leave when she said to Chu Yan, “Chu Yan, stay for dinner.”
Liu Sanniang silently returned to her house.
She was really speechless.
At noon, Madam Wei cooked a table full of dishes. Mr. Liu poured a full glass of wine and stood up to say to Chu Yan, “Chu Yan, thank you for saving my daughter. With you as her husband, I’ll be relieved. Cheers.”
With that, he gulped down the glass of wine.
Liu Sanniang almost bit her tongue and looked at Mr. Liu in shock.
What did her father say? Why did Chu Yan become her husband?
Chu Yan stood up and drank the wine in one gulp. Madam Wei smiled and filled his cup again.
Liu Dalang stood up. “Remember to be good to Sanniang.”
She was speechless.
After Liu Dalang toasted, Liu Erlang stood up. “If you dare to treat Sanniang badly, my brother and I will not let you off.”
Liu Sanniang was anxious. “Mother…”
Madam Wei stopped smiling and looked at Liu Sanniang solemnly. “Sanniang, this time, Chu Yan risked his life to save you. Mother wants to betroth you to Chu Yan. Do you have objections?”
Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang. Liu Sanniang looked up and met Chu Yan’s deep eyes. She opened her mouth and said, “Mother, didn’t we agree?”
Madam Wei had already made up her mind. “If you don’t want to, give me a reason. Is Chu Yan not good-looking or something?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan. With a faint smile, Chu Yan said gently, “Sanniang, I want to marry you and protect you for the rest of your life. I will never force you to do anything you don’t want to do. I will treat you as a queen for the rest of my life.”
Liu Sanniang wished she could find a hole to bury herself in.
Chu Yan was crazy. He was crazy.
How could he say such things in front of her parents?
Liu Sanniang wanted to escape the scene.
Madam Wei said firmly, “Since you can’t say why you don’t like him, Father and Mother will decide your marriage for you.”
Liu Dalang also chimed in. “Sanniang, Father and Mother won’t do anything that’s bad for you.”
Liu Sanniang knew that, but she didn’t want to marry Chu Yan. She was afraid of him but didn’t know exactly what was it about him that made her so afraid.
