Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang and asked her why.
Liu Sanniang felt nervous and went on washing the vegetables with her head lowered. She didn’t answer him though.
Chu Yan smiled and reached out to grab Liu Sanniang’s hand. She couldn’t pull her hand away and bit her lip. “Let go.”
Chu Yan took out a handkerchief to wipe the water off Liu Sanniang’s hands and asked her to sit on the side. He took out the small bag from his pocket and handed it to Liu Sanniang. “Eat.”
Liu Sanniang held the small bag in her hand and muttered. “What do you mean…”
Chu Yan replied with a smile. “Feed the rabbit.”
Liu Sanniang felt her mind go blank.
Chu Yan had already started washing the vegetables. Liu Sanniang opened the bag. There were rabbit-shaped pastries inside. She felt sweet inside and her face heated up on its own.
By the time Chu Yan finished washing the vegetables, Liu Sanniang had also finished the pastries in the bag.
Chu Yan reached out with his handkerchief, and Liu Sanniang forgot to dodge.
He wiped the corner of Liu Sanniang’s mouth and picked up the basket. “Let’s go.”
Liu Sanniang replied softly. “Ok.”
Walking behind Chu Yan, Liu Sanniang recalled the illusion in Huanghu Village. She was like Chu Yan’s wife now. Thinking of the memories of her living with Chu Yan in that illusion, she couldn’t help but touch her burning cheek.
Madam Wei had already boiled water. After soaking the vegetables in the hot water for a while, they could be scooped out and stored.
Madam Wei smiled and said, “I’ll leave this to you. I’ll go prepare the seasoning.”
With seasoning, the pickled vegetables would be more flavorful.
Chu Yan replied. “Okay.”
Liu Sanniang lowered her head. “Okay, Mother.”
When the vegetables were ready, they started preparing dinner.
With Chu Yan around, Mr. Liu naturally had to drink, so side dishes were needed.
After dinner, Mr. Liu was a little drunk. Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang drank some wine too. They washed up and went to bed early.
Liu Sanniang was not sleepy. She lit an oil lamp and started embroidering. When the sound of the nightwatch outside interrupted her work, Liu Sanniang yawned and went to bed.
The next morning, Liu Sanniang was woken up by a knock on the door. Liu Erlang shouted from outside. “Sanniang, get up. It’s snowing.”
She got up and went out. There was snow in the courtyard, and the air smelled fresh.
The three-month old General Black was already as big as a few-years old dog, but he could still grow bigger.
General Black wagged his tail at Liu Sanniang and rubbed his head against her palm, wanting her to walk him.
Liu Erlang touched General Black. “You ungrateful dog. Don’t you remember who usually walks you?”
Liu Sanniang held the rope as she said, “Second Brother, I’ll take General Black out for a stroll.”
General Black was extremely excited and ran out. After a heavy snowfall, the accumulated snow would only melt in a few days. If it continued to snow, it might not melt until the new year.
General Black seemed to be very curious about snow and would bite it now and then.
Liu Sanniang couldn’t help but smile. What a silly dog!
The shop selling breakfast on the street was already open. Liu Sanniang walked to a noodle shop and the boss smiled. “Miss, what do you want to eat?”
Liu Sanniang smiled in return. “Two bowls of minced meat noodles.”
The lady boss looked at General Black, who was sitting beside Liu Sanniang, and said with a grin, “Miss, your dog is really good-looking.”
Liu Sanniang reached out and touched General Black’s head. The dog immediately rubbed his head against her palm.
The lady boss took a few glances at General Black. Such a good dog was really rare.
When the two bowls of noodles were served, Liu Sanniang asked for another oil paper bag. She folded the paper bag into the shape of a bowl and gave the bowl of noodles to General Black.
After eating the noodles, Liu Sanniang prepared to go to the government office to see if there were cases related to psychic abilities. Wei Shilai hadn’t looked for her for quite some time. Liu Sanniang thought that since she had nothing to do, she would go over and take a look.
If needed, she could also help solve ordinary cases.
During this period, her power had increased a lot.
When Liu Sanniang arrived at the government office, the constable smiled at her. “Miss Liu, I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Yes, it has been a while.”
General Black followed Liu Sanniang obediently.
Wei Shilai was writing a case report when Liu Sanniang arrived. He put down his pen. “Miss Liu.”
Wei Shilai was going to the capital to take up his post next year. Now he was busy preparing the handover. He smiled and gestured for Liu Sanniang to sit down. “I was going to pay you a visit in a few days. The new magistrate is surnamed Li. He came out first in the county-level examination. He should be here before the new year.”
Wei Shilai wanted to introduce Liu Sanniang to the new magistrate because she had the ability to save many people.
Liu Sanniang said, “Thank you, sir.”
Wei Shilai waved his hand. “I should be the one thanking you.”
Wei Shilai looked at Liu Sanniang and said seriously, “Miss Liu, when the new magistrate comes, I’ll treat you to a meal. There are all kinds of people in the world. Although there will always be evil people, it’s also a good thing if we can arrest them before they can harm people.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Okay.”
At noon, Liu Sanniang left the government office and saw Zhu Zongyang.
Zhu Zongyang was distracted and almost bumped into Liu Sanniang.
After Liu Sanniang moved aside, she asked. “Assistant Zhu, are you troubled by something?”
Zhu Zongyang stopped in his tracks and looked at Liu Sanniang. He flared up for no reason. “Miss Liu, don’t talk nonsense. I’m fine.”
Liu Sanniang said slowly, “Assistant Zhu, after reading your face, I saw…”
Zhu Zongyang frowned and interrupted Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, it’s only been a while since we last met. You even learned face-reading now.”
Zhu Zongyang’s sarcastic tone made the constable a little displeased. “Assistant Zhu, Miss Liu is just being kind. She has helped Magistrate Wei solve so many cases. You should believe her.”
Zhu Zongyang snorted. “She’s not the only one in this world who is capable. I don’t need her to mind my business.”
After Zhu Zongyang finished speaking, he looked at Liu Sanniang coldly. “Miss Liu, it’s not good to be a busybody. You should take care of your own things.”
Why did a woman have to always go out and about instead of staying at home after getting engaged?
Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang and asked her why.
Liu Sanniang felt nervous and went on washing the vegetables with her head lowered. She didn’t answer him though.
Chu Yan smiled and reached out to grab Liu Sanniang’s hand. She couldn’t pull her hand away and bit her lip. “Let go.”
