Chapter 52: There’s Evil In This World, But There’s Also Good
Liu Sanniang’s lips moved as she softly chanted a scripture.
“Namo Amitabha Buddha…” (Note: Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra)
As her voice chanting the scripture faded, the resentment that was lingering around Lin Zheng disappeared. No matter how unwilling it was to leave, it didn’t belong to this world.
Since it did not belong here, it should go where it should go. A golden light flew into Liu Sanniang’s body.
Liu Sanniang let go of his hand. With his eyes closed, Lin Zheng said in a choked voice, “So he was the cause of my nightmare.”
Lin Zheng didn’t expect that the person who made him suffer was actually his father who had abused him.
Even in death, his father still hated him and tortured him.
Over the years, Lin Zheng had spent thousands of days and nights in his inner hell.
Lin Zheng felt like there was a hole in his heart, leaving him in pain.
Though the soul of pain was gone, he still did not feel relaxed. He opened his eyes and looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, should I not exist in this world?”
This was because he had never experienced how good the world was. All he felt was pain.
After his mother passed away when he was little, he spent his childhood filled with endless violence.
Even after his father died, he still did not let him off.
Liu Sanniang looked at Lin Zheng seriously and said, “No, you should live. It’s because of you that those people who have been wronged can seek justice. Look.”
Liu Sanniang raised her hand. She helped Lin Zheng visualize the people he had helped and how grateful they were towards him in the past.
There was evil in the world, but there was also good.
When he opened his eyes again, Lin Zheng looked at Liu Sanniang with respect. He stood up and bowed to Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, thank you for answering my questions.”
Before Liu Sanniang could speak, Lin Zheng spoke again. “Miss Liu, you deserve my respect.”
Liu Sanniang nodded with a smile.
After returning from the government office, Liu Sanniang couldn’t help but wonder if she could ever get married in this life.
When she returned home, Liu Sanniang saw many people chatting and laughing as they came out of Liu Yinniang’s house. Liu Sanniang went closer to take a look. One of the women was Madam Bai, and the other one was a matchmaker.
Seeing the matchmaker, Liu Sanniang knew that Madam Bai was helping her daughter select a good husband.
In her previous life, Liu Yinniang married a butcher in Ling County, and her married life was blissful.
Liu Sanniang recalled that in her previous life, the few female friends she was on good terms with all had a happy marriage except her.
Liu Ju’er was married to an orphan in Yang Village. Her condition was the worst among all friends because her stepmother didn’t like her and didn’t make the effort to find her a good husband.
However, Liu Ju’er’s stepmother was not greedy. She just wanted Liu Ju’er to suffer for the rest of her life.
Yang village was very poor. When Liu Ju’er went there, she was in despair. However, she did not expect that the man, Yang Qingshan, was extremely protective of her.
Liu Ju’er had suffered a lot. The village was poor and there was not much food. However, she was happy and smiling every day. Liu Sanniang recalled it and was a little envious.
Liu Hui and Liu Ju’er were relatives. Liu Hui’s mother treated Liu Hui well and would give her a lot of pocket money. Liu Hui married in Yong County and her husband was a shopkeeper for a cloth merchant.
Liu Zhi’er married someone who later became the magistrate of Ling County.
Liu Sanniang was friends with only these girls. Seeing that Liu Yinniang had started to seek a husband, she couldn’t help but think of the past.
At the same time, she looked forward to seeing what kind of man she would marry.
Liu Sanniang was a little worried. She did not want to end up being single all her life again.
After settling the matter in the Zhou mansion, she would not go out again.
She would just stay at home doing embroidery work and wait for good news. This way, nothing would go wrong.
Three days later.
Wei Shilai came to invite Liu Sanniang to the Zhou Mansion.
Old Master Zhou had called the entire family back.
The person who was most shocked was Li Yazhi’s husband, Zhou Chengwen. He looked at two Li Yazhi and was so shocked that he stuttered. “Which one of you is real?”
Hong Ying smiled. “Husband, don’t you recognize me?”
After three days of recuperation, Li Yazhi had already recovered. Seeing that this fake was pretending to be her, she was furious. “Husband, she’s fake. I’m real!”
Zhou Chengwen couldn’t tell them apart at all. He frowned and looked at Master Zhou. “Dad, what should I do?”
Master Zhou also had a solemn expression. His two daughters-in-law were exactly the same. How could he tell?
Mrs. Zhou was frowning. Her daughter-in-law had been impersonated, but she could not find the imposter. This was simply terrifying.
Li Yazhi was so angry that she wanted to cry. “Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, I’m the real one. Look at me, don’t you recognize me?”
Li Yazhi could not maintain her composure at all. She was panicked and worried.
Over the past few days, she had thought of many ways.
For example, even if others could not tell, her daughter definitely could.
As soon as she hugged Zhou Yanshu, Zhou Yanshu stopped crying.
Hong Ying did the same, hugging Zhou Yanshu.
Zhou Yanshu was stunned at first. After coming back to her senses, she was about to cry when Hong Ying handed Zhou Yanshu to a servant. She smiled and said, “The child is still young. Before we find out the fake one, we shouldn’t let anyone touch the child. What if the fake one wants to kill and harm the child?”
