Liu Sanniang nodded. “Sure, I’ll draw some more. If you run out of it, feel free to ask for them.”
With the Heavenly Thunder Talisman on them, if they were targeted by the evil man, at least they had a way to fight back.
From Yu Bin’s words, Liu Sanniang learned that when that evil man came, the woman could not make a sound. They did not even have the chance to ask for help.
One could imagine how desperate they were.
Xian Fei looked grateful. “Thank you, Miss Liu.”
Su Yanxue walked over. “Miss Liu, I’m Su Yanxue. Rest well. You’ve done a lot. No one can snatch this credit from you.”
Xia Qiluo clearly wanted to steal credit from Liu Sanniang.
…..
She was the empress’s daughter, but Liu Sanniang was just an ordinary person.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “1 only hope that Xia Qiluo can catch the murderer.”
No matter what Xia Qiluo was thinking, as long as she could catch the murderer, it would be a good thing.
Su Yanxue was stunned. She looked at Liu Sanniang as if she wanted to see if the young woman was lying.
However, Liu Sanniang was composed. Su Yanxue did not understand why. Was there really someone who was so indifferent to fame and fortune?
Su Yanxue was very puzzled and couldn’t help but ask. “Why?”
If Xia Qiluo caught the murderer, Liu Sanniang would not have a chance to make a name for herself. Why did she still hope that Xia Qiluo could catch the murderer?
Liu Sanniang looked at Su Yanxue and replied sincerely. “If she catches the murderer, everyone will be out of danger.”
Su Yanxue looked at Liu Sanniang’s solemn eyes and lowered her head in shame. “Miss Liu, 1 was too narrow-minded to think that fame and fortune were what you were after.”
Liu Sanniang looked away and said to Chu Yan, “Let’s go back.”
Chu Yan bent down, and Liu Sanniang climbed onto his back.
Seeing Liu Sanniang leave, Su Yanxue decided to send a letter home to ask her brother about Liu Sanniang. She knew too little about her.
Xian Fei said softly, “1 heard that your brother has already become her disciple.”
Xian Fei’s tone was a little envious. “If there was such a capable person in my family who could become her disciple, 1 would smile even in my dreams.”
Su Yanyu had always been unruly, and Liu Sanniang had indeed changed him.

Liu Sanniang left the palace and returned home to start drawing talismans.
The emperor had already given the order, and soldiers were searching the houses in the capital.
The commoners were in a panic.
While Liu Sanniang was resting, she asked I lu Yu to take the talismans to the palace and give some of it to Wei Shilai.
Chu Yan came in with a fragrant soup. “Eat something first.”
Liu Sanniang walked over and slowly drank the soup with a spoon.
The sky gradually darkened in the chaotic capital.
Wei Shilai came to visit Liu Sanniang. Beside him was a fifteen-year-old girl. She was Wei Shilai’s daughter, Wei Meng.
Wei Shilai looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Miss Liu, it’s too dangerous outside. 1 only have one daughter. Please help me take care of her for a few days.”
Wei Shilai was really afraid that the invisible man would target his daughter.
Wei Meng was at the right age for marriage. At this stage, she was like a budding flower.
Wei Meng looked at Liu Sanniang and said timidly, “Sister Liu, 1 can help wash the dishes and cook. The porridge 1 make is especially delicious.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Wei Meng and suddenly asked. “Are you bold?”
Wei Meng did not know why Liu Sanniang asked this. She nodded. “1 think so. I’m not too afraid. It’s my parents who are afraid. I also have your talisman. If 1 really meet him, 1’11 burn him to death.”
Wei Meng stuck out her tongue playfully. She was actually not that afraid, but her parents were. As a daughter, she had to be obedient when she needed to be.
Liu Sanniang looked at Wei Meng and smiled. “Then, stay here for now.”
If Xia Qiluo could catch the murderer, she might not need Wei Meng anymore.
Wei Shilai instructed Wei Meng. “Be good and help Miss Liu feed General Black. Don’t cause trouble for Miss Liu. When the murderer is caught, 1’11 take you back home.”
Wei Meng nodded. “Father, don’t worry. Go back and tell Mother not to worry about me. 1’11 stay with Miss Liu. 1’11 be fine.”
Wei Shilai went back.
Liu Sanniang and Wei Meng stayed in the same room. When it was dark, Liu Sanniang called Hu Yu over and instructed. “Go with Liu Yuanyuan to the houses of the famous beauties in the capital. If anything happens, try your best to protect them and stall for time.”
Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu nodded and left.
Liu Sanniang and Wei Meng slept together. Wei Meng quickly fell asleep. She didn’t lie when she said that she was bold.
Liu Sanniang was in a daze. She dreamed that she was in Yong County, in a small alley, where she heard someone talking.
“Brother, I… 1 can’t do this.”
A hesitant voice entered Liu Sanniang’s ears. Then, she heard another voice. “1 heard from my mother that Yang Hua’s stepmother is vicious and has already decided to marry her to a rich old man as a concubine. 1 heard that the old man is already 6o years old and is infertile. He’s vicious and beats women. Several women have already died in his hands. Do you want her to be sold to that old man…”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted. “No, she’s so young. How can she marry that kind of old man?”
“I’ll do it, I’ll do it. 1’11 listen to you…”
Liu Sanniang looked at Liu Cheng and Liu Shun, who were talking to each other in the corner, and her hair stood on end. How could there be such a sinister person in this world?
In the end, the scene of Liu Shun torturing cats and dogs appeared in her mind.
When Liu Sanniang woke up, it was almost dawn.
In her dream, she dreamed of her previous life. In her previous life, it was because she had seen Liu Shun’s brutal side that she was traumatized for the rest of her life. However, Liu Shun was already dead.
Liu Shun was dead, but where was Liu Cheng?
At dawn, Wei Meng woke up. She yawned and stretched comfortably..
