Chapter 637 - 637: Blame
Chapter 637: Blame
Translator: Henyee Translations
There were already many commoners in the capital who were planning to build a golden body for Liu Sanniang to praise her.
People had even started to call her Goddess Liu.
Tears streamed down Mrs. Lin’s face as she clenched her fists. “Why did she ignore the lives of so many people? She made us lose our daughter and let that beast humiliate them.”
They had lost their daughter and their hearts were in pain. If they did not have an outlet to vent their anger, they did not know when this scar would heal.
In their hearts, they were most unwilling to blame themselves. Therefore, if they could push the blame to others, they would do it with good conscience.
Mrs. Zhou said, “Liu Sanniang has already gained fame and fortune. Do you know how much her talismans cost? A thousand taels each, hehe… If she subdued that beast early, how could she make so much money?”
Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth. “We must expose her scheme. Why should such a person take all the fame and fortune? My daughter didn’t have to die.”
Mrs. Zhou nodded. “Yes, she didn’t have to die.”
Mrs. Lin’s eyes were filled with hatred. Mrs. Zhou looked at Lin Ru. “Lord Lin, you can’t let Shuran die for nothing.”
Lin Ru’s face darkened. “Enough. Get out of my house. You are not a good person, either. You reap what you sow.”
Mrs. Zhou was shocked. She looked at Lin Ru. “Lord Lin, it’s not like that. This is…”
Mrs. Zhou wanted to say that it was Liu Sanniang’s fault, but before she could finish, she was interrupted.
Lin Ru’s expression was cold. “Mrs. Zhou, please leave.”
Mrs. Lin said with red eyes, “Master, what do you mean?”
Lin Ru couldn’t tolerate it anymore. “What do 1 mean? Don’t you know how our daughter died? Can’t you remember? What Miss Liu said and what we did. Did we kill our daughter or did Miss Liu? You can lie to yourself, but 1 can’t.”
If Lin Shuran did what Liu Sanniang told her to do, she would definitely be alive on this day.
Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Ru and ran out with tears streaming down her face.
She had ten million reasons to lie to herself, but it did not change the fact that Lin Ru was right.
Mrs. Zhou wiped her tears and wanted to say something else, but when she saw Lin Ru’s cold expression, she left and decided to talk to someone else.
If Liu Sanniang did not help her daughter, she could forget about living a peaceful life.
After Mrs. Zhou left, Lin Ru sighed.
He was filled with deep regret.
However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. No matter how much regret there was, it was useless.
At the end of January, Liu Shun had been trapped inside the formation for more than ten days. His flesh began to rot, and his face was deeply sunken, like human skin stuck to a skeleton.
He was surrounded by people, feeling like a caged animal. Every day, several groups of people would come to watch him and mock him before leaving.
Some bad people would come with rats and tease. “Rat, is this your brother?”
Liu Shun pounced on them with a ferocious expression. When he was pushed back by the array formation, people laughed and said, “Wow, it’s so scary. Hahahaha, who are you trying to scare?”
Seeing that Liu Shun’s body was rotting, they smiled and squeezed to see if there was pus or cotton inside.
Liu Shun sat in the array formation. He knew that Liu Sanniang had achieved her goal. 𝓃𝔬𝒱𝗲𝐿𝓝𝓮xt.𝗰𝒐𝗆
Liu Shun prayed for that person to appear and save him again.
However, day after day, the god he prayed to never appeared.
On the first of February, late at night, Liu Sanniang left the inn and walked to the array formation.
Liu Shun could not even stand up. He tilted his head and looked at Liu Sanniang. Looking at the coldness and disdain in her eyes, Liu Shun understood that his life was over.
Liu Shun said slowly, “Are you here to end my life?”
Liu Sanniang’s expression was cold. “Do you have anything else to say?”
Liu Shun raised his hand with difficulty. “Hold my hand. Aren’t you psychic? What do I want to say? See for yourself.”
Liu Sanniang did not move. Her eyes were filled with cold disdain. “No need. There’s nothing to know.”
Liu Shun panicked. “No, I have a lot of secrets. Extend your hand, and you’ll know. You’ll definitely be shocked. Last time, you didn’t see through me completely. Or rather, you did, but 1 have a dream about you that you don’t know yet.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Liu Shun quietly. She did not want to know.
Liu Shun said anxiously, “Let me finish.”
“I once had a dream. In my dream, you were unmarried for your entire life. I’ve always been a bad person. The wife 1 married was just a stepping stone to me. In that dream, everything was different. It was me who made you unable to marry.”
“When I saw you that year, I thought that you were my salvation, but 1 didn’t expect that you would only make me feel resentful. Sometimes, 1 think that if I weren’t such a violent person who tortured wild cats and dogs to death, would you like me?”
Liu Shun looked at Liu Sanniang and couldn’t help but fantasize. “I’m a scholar and Chu Yan is just a blacksmith. You won’t like such a rough person, right? Someone like Chu Yan couldn’t get a wife in his previous life. If I was really a gentle person, 1 probably would have married you…”
“I met a mysterious person. He was the one who saved me. Many of the memories in my dream were different. The Crown Prince abandoned me. I was executed and died long ago. Since he thought that I was still useful, he let Hui Zhen use a mystic technique to keep me alive. However, when he felt that 1 was useless, he destroyed me without hesitation again. I hate the Crown Prince, hate power, and hate the world.”
“Do you know what that person wants to do? You can’t stop him. You’ll never know what he…”
Before Liu Shun could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped breathing and his soul instantly dissipated..
