Chapter 378 - 378 Without Evidence, He Couldn’t Be Convicted



The pain of losing his wife? Yi Zilan did not see even a trace of it on Liu Shun’s face.

What happened to Yang Cheng and Yang Yi had already challenged his understanding of the world. He now understood that nothing was impossible, and the human heart was the most unpredictable.

Whether someone was evil or good could not be judged merely by what they said or how they looked.

Liu Shun looked at Yi Zilan.

Yi Zilan belonged to the Ministry of War, which was loyal to and served the emperor directly. He was not afraid of the Crown Prince.

Liu Shun said calmly, “With a clear conscience, I fear nothing.”

When people wanted something, they had to pay to get it. Liu Yinniang wanted the wealth and power that he provided, so naturally, she had to pay.

Nothing was left after the raging fire. Even psychics with overpowering ability had their limits.

At the thought of this, Liu Shun was relieved. He looked at Liu San and shook his head in disappointment, remaining fully in his role of a bereaved husband.

Liu San and his family were no threat to him. Why didn’t they just take the money and go back to enjoy a good life? But then, people always liked to overestimate themselves.

The constables who went to investigate the matter returned quickly. They reported to Yi Zilan with a shake of their heads. “Sir, we couldn’t find anything in the ruins.”

The Liu Mansion was burned down the night before last. Liu Shun and his family had already moved to the Crown Prince Mansion, and Liu Yinniang’s corpse was buried too.

It was clearly too late when they came to report the case.

Liu Yinniang was already gone, leaving behind only a few of her bones.

Liu San’s face was livid as he shouted. “He was the one who abused my daughter and killed her. How can there be no evidence?”

Liu Shun looked at Liu San and said helplessly, “I really didn’t kill Yinniang. I don’t know who told you that, but I really didn’t.”

Madam Bai cried out. “Bullsh*t, you’re a beast. There are new and old wounds on Yinniang’s back. If you didn’t inflict the wounds on her, who did?”

Liu Shun looked at Madam Bai and said, “Yinniang is already gone, but I’ll still take care of all of you. Whatever I can help with, I’ll help. Do we have to fall out like this? If a hundred taels of silver is not enough, I’ll give you more in the future.”

Madam Bai was so angry that she almost fainted. They didn’t come to ask for more money.

They came to seek justice for Liu Yinniang.

However, Liu Shun kept mentioning money. To people who didn’t know what was going on, they might think they were a greedy bunch and accused Liu Shun simply because they wanted more money.

Liu San said excitedly, “Who wants your dirty money? I’ll give it back to you, not a penny less.”

He did not have the money with him at the moment.

Liu San pointed at Liu Zhongshan angrily. “Go back and get that money.”

Liu Shun sighed. “Murder is punishable by death. How can you accuse me of that without any evidence? Even if you return the money to me, it doesn’t mean I’m guilty. I really didn’t kill Yinniang.”

Yi Zilan also felt that this case was a little complicated. Without evidence, there was nothing he could do.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan came over together. When Yi Zilan saw Liu Sanniang, he greeted her with a smile. “Miss Liu.”

Liu Sanniang nodded slightly. After the constables went to invite Liu Sanniang and explained the situation, Liu Sanniang came without hesitation along with Chu Yan.

Seeing Liu Sanniang, Madam Bai lowered her head in shame and self-blame.

With her head lowered, Madam Bai said, “Sanniang, Third Aunt is too ashamed to see you. Please help us. We’ll do whatever you want.”

She had seen the wounds on Liu Yinniang’s back with her own eyes. Her back was covered with bleeding wounds. Some of them had already healed, but some were new. She could not imagine how Liu Yinniang had endured it all and how much pain she had been in.

Madam Bai was angry with herself for not standing up for her daughter.

Liu San looked at Liu Sanniang. “Sanniang, help Third Uncle. Yinniang died too tragically.”

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Liu Shun stared at Liu Sanniang intensely.

Liu Sanniang was completely different from the woman in his dream. The woman in his dream was gentle and beautiful, while the woman standing in front of him was collected and calm. However, Liu Shun felt strangely and pathologically attracted to the current Liu Sanniang.

Yi Zilan said coldly, “Liu Shun, you said that you have a clear conscience. Then do you dare to let Miss Liu read your mind?”

Liu Shun looked at Liu Sanniang nervously and expectantly. He knew that it was extremely dangerous to let Liu Sanniang read his mind, but he still agreed with a confident smile. “I have a clear conscience. Of course.”

Liu Shun was one of the Crown Prince’s men.

The Crown Prince believed that he could predict the future. In order to prevent Liu Shun from being harmed by the Third Prince, the Crown Prince had given him a talisman. The Crown Prince said that this talisman could protect him. If psychics attacked him, they would only suffer a backlash.

Liu Sanniang’s ability was probably mind-reading. He had seen it at the prayer meeting.

He badly wanted to be close to Liu Sanniang. He wanted her to grab his wrist with her hand. Therefore, he agreed without hesitation.

Yi Zilan looked at Liu Sanniang and said respectfully, “Miss Liu, please.”

He hoped that Liu Sanniang could find enough evidence to punish Liu Shun.

Liu Shun did not look like he was in pain of losing his wife at all. But he was certain that there was no evidence, and hence, his expression was calm.

Liu San looked at Liu Sanniang and placed all his hopes on her.

The three brothers also looked at Liu Sanniang expectantly. They hated Liu Shun to the core, but they had no evidence whatsoever to back up their accusation. If only Liu Sanniang could find some evidence.

They were all sinners and would be plagued by guilt for the rest of their lives. However, if they could not seek justice for Liu Yinniang, they would be confused and not know how to live on.

Liu Sanniang walked towards Liu Shun and stood in front of him.

Liu Shun smiled. “Do you want me to extend my hand?”

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “No need.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Liu Shun fixedly and was able to see his face more clearly. She said, “She will make you live in pain for the rest of your life.”
