Chapter 362 - A Wicked Person
Chapter 362: A Wicked Person
Madam Bai’s heart ached. “My good daughter, it’s been hard on you.”
If Liu Sanniang treated Yinniang as her sister, she wouldn’t sit back and watch her suffer like this. She could have sided with the Crown Prince to help Liu Yinniang out. However, she chose to stand by. It was obvious that she did not treat Yinniang as her sister.
Liu Yinniang wiped the corners of her eyes. “If I didn’t marry Liu Shun, I wouldn’t have suffered so much. Sanniang was the one who was supposed to marry him.”
Liu Yinniang’s eyes turned cold as she continued. “Liu Shun likes Sanniang. He said that if Sanniang didn’t reject him, she would be the one suffering in my place.”
Watching her daughter complain with tears rolling down her face, Madam Bai felt terrible. Yes, her daughter was suffering the torture in Liu Sanniang’s place.
Madam Bai’s heart ached. She hugged Liu Yinniang and said, “My poor daughter, that entire family is black-hearted. Madam Wei probably planned this long ago. She knows that Liu Shun is a difficult person to deal with and deliberately let you take the fall.”
Liu Yinniang also felt extremely bitter. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long while.
Madam Bai wanted to take Liu Yinniang back to take care of her for a few days. She wiped Liu Yinniang’s tears and said, “Yinniang, come back with me for a few days.”
Liu Yinniang wanted to, but when she thought of Liu Shun, she shook her head. “Mother, I can’t go back. Liu Shun won’t do anything to me these few days. Don’t worry.”
Madam Bai sighed and left the Liu Mansion with a worried heart.

When Liu Shun returned and found out that Madam Bai had been here, he asked Liu Yinniang to go to the study room. She knelt at his feet. Liu Shun looked at Liu Yinniang, and she trembled. “I… I promise you that I will do it.”
Liu Shun smiled. “Your mother came to see you today.”
Liu Yinniang was about to cry. “My mother agreed to help me.”
Liu Shun looked at Liu Yinniang, who was trembling uncontrollably, and clicked his tongue. “You have ten days. If you can’t make it in ten days, well, that means my beating isn’t hard enough.”
Liu Yinniang bit her lip, her teeth chattering as she said, “I, I understand.”
Liu Shun gave Liu Yinniang a kick in the shoulder and pushed her to the ground. Liu Yinniang curled up with her eyes closed.
Liu Shun smiled coldly. “Get lost.”
Liu Yinniang opened her eyes, got up, and crawled away quickly, afraid that if she was too slow, she would be pulled back by the monster.
The study room was simply her nightmare. When she returned to her room and closed the door, she was still shaking.
The servants were already used to seeing her like that. They lowered their heads and pretended not to have noticed anything.
They all knew very well who the owner of this mansion was. Although she was the madam, sometimes, she was even worse than a dog.
When Madam Bai returned home, she wanted to tell Liu San what had happened, but she swallowed her words. She couldn’t tell Liu San about this just yet. If he softened his heart and told Liu Sanniang, wouldn’t that ruin everything?
Seeing Madam Bai hesitating, Liu San couldn’t help but ask. “What’s wrong with you? If you have something to say, just say it. I’m annoyed just looking at you like that.”
Madam Bai immediately said, “I’m just in a bad mood. Do you have a problem with that?”
Liu San was stunned. “You’re crazy.”
Madam Bai was furious. “So what if I’m crazy?”
Liu San was speechless. He stood up and walked out. “I’m going to sleep with my son. You crazy woman, I don’t wanna talk to you.”
Madam Bai sat on the bed angrily. She was naturally on her daughter’s side, but she couldn’t guarantee anything about Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu still wanted to go back and help his clan when he became rich. He didn’t care about his family at all.
As she thought about it, Madam Bai couldn’t help but curse. “A family of black-hearted animals. They just can’t bear to see me living a good life.”
The next morning, Madam Bai went to see Liu Sanniang.
She still could not bring herself to poison Liu Sanniang, so she decided to give her another chance.
When Madam Bai arrived, Liu Sanniang was in the room, embroidering. It was Chu Yan who opened the door. His expression was cold. Madam Bai’s smile stiffened, but she did not lose her temper. She endured the anger and shouted. “Sanniang, where are you?”
When Liu Sanniang heard the voice, she came out. “Third Aunt, I’m here. Come in.”
Madam Bai entered the house and looked around before sitting down. She looked at Liu Sanniang. When Madam Bai was done sizing her up, she said with a smile, “Sanniang, I didn’t expect you to be so capable now. You don’t have a job yet, right? I’ll find you one. I guarantee that you’ll be rich.”
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “There’s no need. If Third Aunt is here for Yinniang, then I’ll tell the truth. The only way for Yinniang to live is to leave Liu Shun. Third Aunt, if you don’t want to lose your daughter, you have to make a choice.”
Madam Bai was stunned. She looked at Liu Sanniang with her mouth wide-open in disbelief. “Are you saying Yinniang is going to die?”
Madam Bai felt that it was extremely ridiculous. Before she could mock Liu Sanniang, she saw Liu Sanniang looking at her seriously, as if she had seen through her.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “The sign of Yinniang is gradually fading. If she doesn’t leave Liu Shun, her ending will be death. There’s nothing you and I can do about it.”
Madam Bai immediately flared up upon hearing that. “Nonsense. As long as you side with the Crown Prince, you can help Yinniang escape from her misery. If you help, Yinniang won’t be abused again. Liu Sanniang, how can you bear to see Yinniang suffer? The person Liu Shun liked was you. Yinniang has suffered in your place. She’s suffering for you. Why don’t you help her?”
Liu Sanniang’s expression turned cold. She looked at Madam Bai indifferently. “Liu Shun is not a good person. He won’t change because of what I do.”
Madam Bai was indignant. “How will you know if you don’t try?”
“Why don’t you try it yourself? Get out, you coward.”
Chu Yan had come in at some point. His expression was dark and his voice was extremely cold.
