In the next three days, the entire Tan mansion seemed to be enveloped by a fog. The people outside ignored the existence of the Tan mansion and people inside could not leave.

Hearing Tan Fengzhi’s scream, the servants were terrified.

Tan Fengzhi’s concubines did not dare to go out at all.

Even if they wanted to leave, they could not.

After that, he flashed a fawning smile at the young woman, who stared at him for a moment before releasing his ear.

After regaining his freedom, the young man rubbed his ear and cursed at Wind Lord, who was inside the mirror. He was clenching his teeth as if he had shifted all the blame to Wind Lord for the pain he had suffered.

A moment later, he put on a smile and let out a breath before saying, “It’s said that Dao changes everything, be it for better or for worse. Everything in this world is inconstant, including Humans.”

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and directly entered the mirror. As a ripple spread across its surface, the young man disappeared from the room. The next moment, he appeared in the hall and stood in front of Wind Lord.

The young man was handsome and his smile appeared harmless. Wind Lord was flabbergasted because from his perspective, the young man appeared too abruptly, as though he just walked out of the Void with no signs prior to that.

Wind Lord narrowed his eyes and stared at the young man warily, given that even with his cultivation, he still wasn’t able to gauge how powerful this young man was. Other than the fact that he himself was in a terrible state currently, it also went to show that the young man before him was truly extraordinary.

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Granny Li heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Miss Liu, for helping me. This is fifty taels of silver. Please accept it.”

Liu Sanniang did not expect Granny Li to keep her promise and give her the money she received previously from the Tan family.

Liu Sanniang did not accept it. “No need.”

Granny Li stuffed the money into Liu Sanniang’s hands. “Miss Liu, though I’m greedy sometimes, I never fail to keep my word. We’ve agreed on this. I can’t go back on my word. I’ve learned my lesson.”

With that, Granny Li walked away immediately, not giving Liu Sanniang a chance to refuse.

Liu Sanniang put the money into her pocket and went home.

What Liu Sanniang did not know was that not long after she left, Granny Zhou came out of the Tan Mansion. She had aged a lot and looked in the direction where Liu Sanniang had disappeared with hatred.

When Liu Sanniang returned home, General Black had already opened his eyes completely. He had gained a lot of weight and seemed especially cute.

If one called him General Black, he would look up at them as if he could understand them.

After playing with General Black for a while, Liu Sanniang went to embroider. The clothes she was making for Chu Yan would be ready in a few days. Chu Yan was even taller than Liu Dalang. He was tall, but not fat.

Late September.

At noon, Lin Zheng came to look for her. “Miss Liu, sorry we have to trouble you again.”

Liu Sanniang followed him to the government office. There was another case.

On the way, Liu Sanniang asked him. “What case is it?”

Lin Zheng looked a little lost in thought. “Miss Liu, it’s difficult to explain. The murderer seems to have lost his memory. He shouted that he was innocent, but the murder weapon was in his hand. This homicide happened in Chaoyang Village.”

Liu Sanniang couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. “Lost his memory?”

Lin Zheng nodded. “Yes, he doesn’t remember anything. When he was captured, he didn’t even try to resist. The magistrate interrogated him personally and asked him questions but he couldn’t answer any of them. He kept saying that he’s in pain and that he doesn’t know anything.”

“Magistrate Wei asked me to invite you to take a look.”

Only Liu Sanniang could figure out the reason for this.

Wei Shilai never believed in mystics, but he believed in Liu Sanniang.

Liu Sanniang followed him to the government office, but Lin Zheng did not go in. “Miss Liu, go straight to see Magistrate Wei. I still have to investigate this person’s identity. The villagers in Chaoyang Village said that they don’t know this man.”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Okay.”

Liu Sanniang entered the government office. There was a private interrogation room where Wei Shilai was.

Zhu Zongyang looked at the murderer and said, “Sir, this person must be pretending because he wants to get away with it.”

Criminals of this kind would receive capital punishment. He claimed to not remember anything because most likely he wanted to escape the punishment.

Hearing Zhu Zongyang’s words, the man in ordinary clothes said anxiously, “I really didn’t kill anyone. Why would I kill someone? I didn’t do it, Sir. I really didn’t do it.”

Wei Shilai turned to look at the officer beside him and asked. “Is Miss Liu here?”

The officer said, “I’ll go out and take a look.”

Wei Shilai nodded.

As soon as Liu Sanniang arrived outside, she met the officer who came out to receive her.

When the officer saw Liu Sanniang, he said, “Miss Liu, it’s great that you’re here. Magistrate Wei is waiting for you. This murder won’t admit to commiting the crime and keeps saying that he’s innocent.”
