496 If She Makes A Mistake, She’ll die
Madam Xu looked at Wu Changxian and said coldly with a mocking smile, “Lord Wu, If you want to close the case, you need to capture Duke Xu. If I didn’t know the truth, I would have been kept in the dark for the rest of my life.”
There was nothing more sorrowful than being lied to by someone closest to you. Madam Xu laughed sinisterly. “I can’t vent my anger even after digging up that grave. I want to dig up all the Xu family’s ancestral graves and burn their bones to ashes to vent the hatred in my heart.”
Wu Changxian still refused to accept Madam Xu’s words. “Duke Xu died of illness. You were by his side every day until he died. How could he fake his death?”
Madam Xu was stunned, and her face instantly turned pale. She stared at Wu Changxian and said fiercely, “Impossible, he must still be alive!”
Otherwise, why would his son be tormented by illness all these years?
Her mind was in a mess. It was as if her thoughts were all tangled up, making her unable to focus. Many things flashed past her mind, but she could not grasp anything. Madam Xu hugged her head and buried it in her arms.
Wu Changxian could not help but look at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, I’ll have to trouble you with this.”
Before Liu Sanniang could speak, Xia Qiluo beat her to it. “Lord Wu, do you know what this means and what it will involve? What Madam Xu meant is that the person who wants Young Master Xu’s life is his father. Do you want to say that Madam Xu is not chaste? Do you want to say that Young Master Xu is not Duke Xu’s son?”
Wu Changxian was instantly speechless when he heard Xia Qiluo’s words. Even though he had this guess in his heart, he didn’t dare to speak it out loud.
Xia Qiluo looked at Liu Sanniang and said coldly, “Miss Liu, it’s true that you’re capable, but what right do you have to insult Duchess Xu?!”
Liu Sanniang’s expression was calm. She looked at Xia Qiluo indifferently and then at Madam Xu, who had collapsed.
She said, “Duke Xu is indeed dead, and Young Master Xu’s face revealed that his father wants to kill him. All these led to the conclusion that Young Master Xu is not Duke Xu’s son, and his father is still alive.”

Xia Qiluo gritted her teeth. She could not believe that Liu Sanniang really dared to be so blunt about it. Where did she get the courage to say that? Did she know the consequences?
Xia Qiluo wanted to say that Liu Sanniang was spouting nonsense and slandering a duchess and should be heavily punished, but she held the urge back. Xia Qiluo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Miss Liu, are you sure that Duke Xu is dead?”
Xia Qiluo hated Liu Sanniang to death. She hated Liu Sanniang for pretending to be calm, as if nothing in the world could concern her.
Liu Sanniang walked towards Xu Lin.
Xu Lin’s eyes were like that of a poisonous snake. His breathing became rapid. He stared at Liu Sanniang, his nostrils flaring. He hankered for Liu Sanniang’s flesh, but he was too weak to move.
Liu Sanniang squatted down as if she didn’t see his hungry eyes. She removed the burnt talisman from Xu Lin’s chest and said calmly, “The possession of the demon will turn you into a man-eating monster. You will die.”
When Liu Sanniang unfolded the burnt talisman, the runes on it could no longer be seen clearly. She looked at Xu Lin. “Who gave this to you?”
Xu Lin looked at Liu Sanniang, painfully eager to eat her. His voice was hoarse as he said, “Come closer and let me bite you. Then, I’ll tell you.”
A woman with such delicate skin must be very delicious. Xu Lin stared fixedly at Liu Sanniang. Seeing that she did not move, he became agitated. “Just cut your hand and let me drink some of your blood. I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”
As long as he could drink some blood to restore his strength, he could get up and tear her apart.
Instead of looking at Xu Lin, Liu Sanniang walked to Madam Xu’s side.
Madam Xu held her head and seemed to be in extreme pain. Liu Sanniang gently patted Madam Xu’s shoulder. “Madam, look at me.”
A warm force entered Madam Xu’s body to calm her down. Only then did Madam Xu feel freed from the pain. She could hear everything Liu Sanniang said, but she could not control her thoughts.
Now that she had calmed down, she looked down at the talisman in Liu Sanniang’s hand and sneered. “Miss Liu, do you want to say that this talisman was given to me by my son’s father to kill him? Ridiculous. Do you know who gave me this talisman?”
Liu Sanniang asked calmly. “Who is it?”
Madam Xu smiled coldly. “Master Yuan Hui gave it to me.”
Liu Sanniang frowned. At this moment, she finally understood the source of Yuan Hui’s evil and understood what Yuan Hui meant when he told her there was a monster at Duke Xu’s mansion.
Madam Xu fixed her gaze on Liu Sanniang, not letting go of any expression on her face.
Looking at her face, Madam Xu felt that Liu Sanniang seemed to have understood something. When a ridiculous possibility came to Madam Xu’s mind, she sneered. She looked at Wu Changxian and the others and said, “Lord Wu, Seventh Princess, don’t you find it ridiculous? I swear to the heavens that I have nothing to do with Master Yuan Hui. Lin’s father is Duke Xu.”
Yuan Hui was the abbot of Jingen Temple. Who would believe he had something to do with the wife of Duke Xu?
No one present there could bring themselves to believe it.
Xia Qiluo looked at Liu Sanniang and asked in disbelief. “Liu Sanniang, are you saying Young Master Xu is Master Yuan Hui’s son?”
Liu Sanniang looked at the talisman and then at Xu Lin. She looked up at Xia Qiluo and said calmly, “Yes.”
Xia Qiluo was taken aback. She could not believe what she heard.
Wu Changxian was also shocked. He knew that Liu Sanniang was very capable, but he did not dare to trust her completely on this matter. He looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Miss Liu, this is not a small matter. If you make a mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
Jingen Temple was considered a holy place where nobles in the capital went to offer incense.
If Liu Sanniang made a mistake, she would undoubtedly lose her life. However, if what she said was true… then it would really cause a sensation.
Xia Qiluo looked at Chu Yan who remained expressionless. There was no one else in his eyes except for Liu Sanniang. Xia Qiluo gritted her teeth and said, “Miss Liu, you have to think carefully before you make such a remark. If you slander an abbot like this, you won’t be able to keep your life!
