Chu Yan only smiled. “Sanniang, you are awesome.”

Liu Sanniang was a little embarrassed by the praise. She did not understand what Chu Yan was thinking. Shouldn’t he be surprised?

He held Liu Sanniang’s hand quietly and squeezed it from time to time.

Liu Sanniang thought that Li Guanfeng would start to settle the case between Liu Dalang and Tang Maosheng, but there was no news for several days.

Madam Wei was also a little anxious.

Just as Liu Sanniang was about to go to the government office to ask, Ligui and Liming came looking for her.

Liming looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Miss Liu, Magistrate Li is critically ill. He’s dying.”

Ligui added. “After you met him that night, he fell ill and kept muttering a name. Miss Liu, he might appear a little unfriendly and harsh, but he’s a good person. We were framed and almost beheaded. It was Magistrate Li who found evidence to save us. Miss Liu, do you understand?”

Liguili and Limingi were brothers. They looked at Liu Sanniang with curiosity and suspicion.

They believed that Li Guanfeng’s sudden illness had something to do with Liu Sanniang.

They knew that she was a psychic. She could kill people without even needing to raise a hand, but they had no concrete evidence to accuse her of doing so.

Before coming, Ligui was thinking to himself that if Liu Sanniang refused to help, he would take action. No matter what, he had to bring Liu Sanniang to the government office. If Liu Sanniang did not cooperate, they would arrest her family to threaten her.

But Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Let’s go.”

Liming reached out his hand. “Miss Liu, please.”

As it was night time, Madam Wei and Mr. Liu were a little worried. Liu Sanniang turned around and said, “Father, Mother, don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”

Liguili looked at the Liu family and cupped his fists. “Don’t worry, we just want to ask Miss Liu for some help.”

Madam Wei and Mr. Liu forced a smile. “No, we are not worried.”

It would be a lie to say that they were not worried, but they believed Liu Sanniang.

Liu Sanniang came to the government office. In just a few days, Li Guanfeng had lost a lot of weight. He was already skinny to begin with. Now, he was emaciated to the point of only skin and bones.

The medicine that the servant fed him was all spat out.

The doctor shook his head. “He doesn’t want to live. Even the gods can’t save him. I’ve never seen someone who wants to die so much.”

Ever since Li Guanfeng took office, he punished a lot of bullies and villains. Although many commoners complained behind his back that he was too strict, in fact, many of them were happy that the town saw far less crime these days..

Ligui and Liming’s faces darkened. “He’s unconscious. Why don’t you just force the medicine down?”

The doctor was shouted at, but he did not flare up. He explained patiently. “We did, but he would retch and spit out the medicine. What he needs the most is medicine for his broken heart. He kept muttering a name called Xiaowu. I guarantee if you bring this person over, he’ll be alive and kicking in no time.”

There was no cure for a broken heart. The only thing that could heal it was the one who broke the heart.

Liming looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, do you know who Xiaowu is?”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Someone Magistrate Li loves deeply.”

Ligui immediately said, “Nonsense. We’ve been with him for almost a year, but we’ve never seen him with a woman.”

Liming nudged Ligui with his elbow and cupped his hands at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, please find this girl and save Magistrate Li.”

The doctor picked up the first aid kit. He did not understand what they were talking about, but he understood that there was really someone called Xiaowu. The doctor cupped his hands and said, “Only by finding this girl called Xiaowu can you cure him. Goodbye.”

With that, the doctor left.

Liu Sanniang walked to the bed and extended her hand.

Ligui frowned. “Miss Liu, what are you doing?”

Liu Sanniang placed her hand on Li Guanfeng’s wrist. “Save him.”

Ligui wanted to say something, but Liming stopped him.

The two brothers had been with Li Guanfeng for some time, but they had never seen anyone called Xiaowu. However, even when Li Guanfeng was sick and unconscious, he was still calling out to this girl. It was obvious that this girl really existed.

As in what kind of way this girl existed, Liming didn’t want to think too much about it. He just wanted Li Guanfeng to recover.

Liu Sanniang made Li Guanfeng sense the memories of the night when Xiaowu was sent to reincarnate.

Li Guanfeng was in a daze and felt like his mind was under so much pressure that it was about to explode. He could not open his eyes no matter what, but he was very lucid. He knew that Liu Sanniang was here. He wanted to shake off Liu Sanniang’s hand, but he could not.

A memory that didn’t belong to him appeared in his mind. It was related to Xiaowu, and he tried all he could to catch every moment of the memory.

Liu Sanniang said slowly, “You didn’t believe what I said before, but now that you saw it for yourself, do you believe it? Did you see the red line of marriage that connects both of you? She wants you to live because she wants you to wait for her to reunite with you. You want to die with her. But do you know that once you die, your fate will really be broken?”

Li Guanfeng’s hands trembled. He believed it now. He couldn’t die. He had to wait for Xiaowu to come back.

However, his eyelids were so heavy and his mouth could not open, no matter what. The more anxious he was, the harder it was for him to breathe. The suffocating feeling made him realize that he was walking towards death.

During this period of time, he had barely eaten anything. His body could not hold on any longer. He didn’t have hope of living and didn’t care if he died.

But now, he did not want to die. Li Guanfeng struggled. He wanted to live.

Liu Sanniang retracted her hand, and Li Guanfeng’s hand trembled slightly.

Liu Sanniang said to Ligui and Liming, “Go and get the medicine. He will take it now.”

Ligui and Liming were a little stunned. When they came back to their senses, Ligui immediately said to the servant, “Hurry up and get the medicine for Magistrate Li.”

They still suspected Liu Sanniang, but when they looked into her eyes, they could not help but believe her.

The servant quickly brought the medicine over. Liming took it and asked Ligui to help Li Guanfeng while he fed him the medicine. All these days, Li Guanfeng had been refusing to take the medicine, but this time, he didn’t. Instead, he swallowed it eagerly.
