The black pill quickly turned into black water and corroded a hole in the ground.

Seeing the black pill again, Wei Shilai’s expression darkened. He looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, she…”

Was this woman from the same organization as Hong Ying?

Liu Sanniang nodded.

What Liu Sanniang saw was not complete. The memory slowly evaporated after sensing the invasion from Liu Sanniang. She looked at the woman. “Your real name is Ruoxue.”

The woman’s appearance had completely changed. Or rather, this was her original appearance. She was not Mrs. Qian. Her name was Ruoxue.

Those who saw it with their own eyes were stunned. When they came back to their senses, they looked at Liu Sanniang differently.

Qian Jin pounced on the woman, wanting to strangle her to avenge his father.

Ruoxue pushed Qian Jin away and looked at Liu Sanniang with hatred. “Everything in my life has been destroyed by you.”

Since they were young, they had been controlled. They were all at the mercy of the man in black. Ruoxue had seen some people who defied his order. When it was time to take the medicine, he was extremely cold. No matter how they knelt at his feet and begged, it was useless. Seeing them die, he told them coldly that this was the price for being disobedient.

Knowing that death was the price of defying his order, all of them became obedient and tried their best to become outstanding. When Ruoxue found out that she was going to replace a middle-aged woman, she was dissatisfied.

However, she could only tolerate it. When she received the task of killing Qian Rangli, she knew that her chance had come. After getting rid of Qian Rangli and his son, the entire Qian Mansion would be hers. Although she could not escape the man’s control forever, she would be at least free for a short period of time.

However, all of this was ruined by Liu Sanniang. Ruoxue looked at Liu Sanniang angrily, her eyes filled with a killing intent.

Wei Shilai said in a low voice, “You’re the one who destroyed yourself.”

Ruoxue was naturally arrested.

The servant girls who were waiting outside looked like they had seen a ghost when they saw Ruoxue. They did not understand why Mrs. Qian became a different person when she came out.

On this matter, the person who suffered the most was none other than Qian Jin.

The shadow of his father’s death would haunt him for the rest of his life.

When only Liu Sanniang, Chu Yan, and Qian Jin were left in the room, Liu Sanniang walked over to Qian Jin’s side. “Your father hopes that you can continue to live on well.”

When the truth was revealed, Qian Jin did not feel relieved. Instead, he felt even more pain.

Liu Sanniang’s words could not stimulate his will to live.

Liu Sanniang could feel a lingering soul eager to appear. She said in a low voice, “Only this time.”

A figure gradually appeared. He stood in front of Qian Jin with a sad gaze.

Qian Jin narrowed his eyes and murmured. “Father.”

Was he hallucinating? He had already killed his father with his own hands. How could his father still be alive? He was a sinner. Even if he was hypnotized back then, it didn’t change the fact that he stabbed the dagger into his father’s heart. He remembered how shocked his father was when he turned around and saw him.

The figure squatted down and gently patted Qian Jin on the shoulder. “Jin, get up.”

Qian Jin gathered himself together a little. His voice was thick with emotions as he called out. “Father, you…”

Qian Rangli sighed. “Jin, get up.”

How could he willingly leave this world, knowing that he was killed by his own son? That indignant thought made him feel like he had been split into countless pieces. He still existed somewhere between this world and the netherworld.

When he saw how painful Qian Jin was after finding out the truth, he understood what was going on.

He was furious and helpless. When he met Liu Sanniang, he seemed to have seen a light in the darkness. He knew that she was his salvation.

Looking at Qian Jin, who was in agony, he begged Liu Sanniang to give his soul a human form so that he could talk to his son again.

Liu Sanniang agreed.

Qian Jin stood up shakily and lowered his head, not daring to look at Qian Rangli at all.

Qian Rangli said with a sigh, “Jin, this is not your fault. When did your mother get replaced? I don’t know either. I thought that I was good at everything, but I realized that as a husband, I was a complete failure.”

He did not even notice that his wife had been replaced.

Qian Jin slowly looked up at Qian Rangli, seemingly at a loss. This was the first time his stubborn father admitted his mistake.

Qian Rangli looked at Qian Jin. “I wonder if your mother was also disappointed in me. I didn’t even know when she died. Was she unwilling to leave and was disappointed like me?”

In this life, he had never let anyone down except his wife.

He laid bare his weakness and showed it to Qian Jin. His tone was filled with guilt. “Jin, this is the last time we will meet. Everyone makes mistakes. I’ve never let down the emperor, the world, and the people. However, I’ve let down your mother. She has done a lot for me, but I took her for granted and neglected her all these years.”

He had let her down. He would never have the chance to make up for it in this life.

Qian Jin called out with tears streaming down his face. “Father.”

Qian Rangli looked at Qian Jin. “Jin, you still have a long life ahead of you. What I didn’t teach you, you have to learn it yourself. I hope you won’t repeat my mistakes.”

Qian Jin knelt down. “I understand. I won’t let you down.”

Qian Rangli looked at Liu Sanniang gratefully.

Liu Sanniang gently chanted the scriptures to send him away. After Qian Rangli disappeared, Qian Jin fainted. Liu Sanniang went out and got a guard to send Qian Jin back to the Qian Mansion to be treated.

Wei Shilai immediately wrote a case report and went to submit it to the emperor. When Xia Hongming was informed of what happened, he rushed over. But Wei Shilai had already entered the palace by then.

Xia Hongming’s face darkened. Mrs. Wei felt a little uneasy, but she still braced herself and said, “If Third Prince wants to look for my husband, you can only go to the palace.”

Xia Hongming looked at Mrs. Wei. “Since Minister Wei is not at home, I won’t disturb you anymore. Please tell him that there will be a banquet at my mansion three days later and ask him to bring Miss Liu along.”
