Madam Wei grabbed Liu Sanniang’s hand and said in a choked voice, “Sanniang, my daughter, the heavens are unjust. Why do we good people have to suffer such a calamity.”
Madam Wei did not even dare to think about what would happen, her mind filled with grief.
The Liu family was immersed in pain, causing the guard to mock coldly, “We have seen a lot of families like you who cried miserably but turned against each other in the process of the test.”
“You can’t say that. There are some people who are willing to die for their families.”
Someone retorted.
Another guard smiled and said, “That’s only a minority. There won’t be one in three years.”
“Who cares if there’s one every few years? Such a person is worthy of our admiration.”
“If she dies for her family, our chief will naturally keep his word and let her family go. As for whether her family will seek revenge in the future, hehe, we’re not afraid.”
These people’s teasing made the Liu family grit their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.
Tears streamed down Madam Wei’s face, and her heart was filled with despair. At this moment, they were like fish on the chopping board for the brigands to slaughter.
Liu Sanniang held Madam Wei’s hand tightly and said, “Mother, don’t listen to what they say. Our family will always be united.”
The ruthless words of these brigands turned into sharp blades that deeply hurt her family.
Madam Wei wiped her tears and did not speak. They leaned against each other quietly, waiting for the sky to darken.
In a daze, Liu Sanniang heard Chu Yan’s voice. “Sanniang, it’s time to wake up.”
Liu Sanniang was a little puzzled. She was not at home. Why did she hear Chu Yan’s voice?
Liu Sanniang felt that she must be dreaming.
However, Chu Yan’s voice entered her ears again. “Sanniang, you’re in an illusion. Once you break this illusion, you’ll understand everything.”
Liu Sanniang was a little afraid. Did she go crazy from the terror of her tragic death?
She was clearly alive. How could she be in an illusion?
Her family was real and beside her.
Liu Sanniang was shocked when she felt someone hugging her from behind. She heard a familiar voice. “It’s me.”
Chu Yan’s voice was beside her ear, but why couldn’t she see him?
Not only could she not see him, but no one else in the room could.
Liu Sanniang was filled with questions in her mind. She heard the voice again. “Silly girl, no matter how real the illusion is, it can’t be true. We’re not married yet, so how can we have children? You can’t remember having slept with me because we never did it.”
When Liu Sanniang heard what Chu Yan said, many things started to make sense.
She didn’t feel pain after giving birth because she didn’t give birth in the first place.
She couldn’t remember being intimate with Chu Yan because it never happened.
Liu Sanniang found it hard to accept the fact that she was in an illusion because the people in front of her were so real.
Chu Yan’s voice sounded in her cars again. “You are not alone in this illusion. Your family is also in it with you. You are left with no choice but to die for your family, right?”
Liu Sanniang subconsciously nodded. Indeed, what awaited her was only death.
“Break this illusion. I’m waiting for you.”
Chu Yan tightened his grip on Liu Sanniang, but Liu Sanniang felt the hands on her waist gradually disappear, and she no longer heard Chu Yan’s voice.
Liu Sanniang was puzzled and felt a pain in her mind. It was as if a force was trying to remove what she just heard from her mind. The more she tried to think about it, the more painful it would be.
However, she still couldn’t help but think about why she didn’t feel any pain when she gave birth, and why she couldn’t remember any of their intimate memories after spending so much time with Chu Yan over the past few years?
Chu Yan said that she passed out from exhaustion every time, but why didn’t she feel anything at all? Was it because she was unconscious, or because it had never happened?
Scenes of the past replayed in her mind, becoming clearer and clearer.
Liu Sanniang was in so much pain that she held her head and squatted down.
She heard a buzzing sound. Many memories surged towards her like a tide and drowned her.
Liu Sanniang’s strange behavior frightened Madam Wei and Mr. Liu. The entire family surrounded her, but there was a cell between them. They could only shout Liu Sanniang’s name anxiously.
“Sanniang, Sanniang, what’s wrong? Don’t scare us.”
Madam Wei collapsed to the ground, as if all her strength had been sucked out.
Liu Sanniang woke up from the illusion. The sharp pain in her mind had already disappeared. She turned to her parents and said worriedly, “Father, Mother, I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
The illusion created by the empress was too realistic and almost fooled her.
Her parents and family were also in this illusion with her, which was why they were so real.
Worry, concern, all of it was real.
However, if she died in the illusion, she would really die.
The chosen one was immortal. Only when she chose to die would she really die.
Liu Sanniang smiled, causing Madam Wei to cry even harder. “You silly child, you made me worried.”
Tears welled up in Mr. Liu’s eyes. Liu Sanniang looked over and saw that her eldest brother and second brother were also crying with red eyes. Liu Sanniang could not help but think of the scene of her family crying after she died in her previous life.
Even if it was an illusion, she had to protect her family who had loved her for two lifetimes.
When the brigand walked over fiercely and pulled Liu Sanniang out, Madam Wei, Mr. Liu, and the others shouted worriedly and angrily, “Don’t touch Sanniang!”
The brigand chuckled. “What’s the hurry? None of you can get away with it!”
The cell door opened and the Liu family was pulled out one by one.
Liu Sanniang slowly calmed down. She recalled that the brigand told her many times that as long as she was willing to die, this family would be safe..
