The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate

506 Miss Liu Is Right

Madam Xu’s heart was heavy. It was a good thing for her son to become stronger and stronger, but the strange thing was that it had happened too quickly. Everything should happen gradually. It was impossible for him to suddenly become stronger.

When Madam Xu returned to her room, she still felt uneasy and couldn’t sleep at night. The bright moon was hanging high in the starry sky. Madam Xu didn’t know why she decided to get up. After dismissing the servants last time, there weren’t many people in the mansion. After nightfall, it was so quiet that it made one’s hair stand on ends.

For some reason, she wanted to see if Xu Lin was in his room. Even Madam Xu herself felt strange about having this urge. Where else could he be if he wasn’t sleeping in his house in the middle of the night?

Madam Xu gently pushed open the door and walked in. Looking at the empty bed, her heart skipped a beat. She went forward and touched the bed. It was cold.

!!

Her son was not sleeping in his room. Where had he gone?

Perhaps he was in the study? She went to the study to check, but there was no one. She leaned against the table and chair weakly, her face revealing confusion.

Clack, Clack…

Hearing footsteps outside, Madam Xu hurriedly got up and ran out. Perhaps she was thinking too much. Her son wasn’t in the room because he went to the toilet.

However, when she met the gaze of the figure in the courtyard and saw the face with a blood-stained mouth, tears streamed down her face as she fell to the ground.

“Mother.”

Xu Lin called out and walked towards Madam Xu. His eyes were cold. “Mother, why did you wake up in the middle of the night?”

Tears streamed down Madam Xu’s face. “Lin, you, you…”

Since the demon spirit was already gone, why did he still become like this?

Xu Lin squatted down. “Miss Liu is right. Ten days ago, I also thought that she was wrong and that I had already returned to normal. I was no longer weak, but that night, I once again had the feeling of hunger. The only difference is that I’m no longer weak. I’m hungry, and I can move freely. I’m like a hungry wolf. I need to fill my stomach. I’m a wolf, and I’m also a human. A few days ago, Master Xu Qing came to see me, but he didn’t see anything wrong with me. I don’t even know what kind of monster I am now.”

When all this happened, he knew that Liu Sanniang was right. He was not the son of Duke Xu. He had unclean blood, but he did not go crazy. It was as if all of this was no longer a big deal, and he accepted it calmly.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before he was captured and killed. But before that, he couldn’t withstand that feeling of hunger. He was bloodthirsty and just wanted to kill.

Madam Xu couldn’t help but tremble, unable to speak. Xu Lin’s eyes were cold as he said it, as if it was something unimportant.

Xu Lin raised his hand to wipe Madam Xu’s tears. His hand was covered in hair. “Mother, go back and rest.”

Xu Lin got up and returned to his room. He had become a monster, a monster that killed without batting an eyelid and survived on human lives. He had no humanity, but he still had his intelligence. He knew what he was doing and also knew that what he was doing was very disgusting.

But what could he do? The burning pain in his stomach could only be relieved by killing and drinking blood. He wanted to live like a human, but he could not.

Madam Xu sat in the study in a daze until the dark night gradually turned from black to gray. Only then did she seem to regain her senses. She got up with difficulty and returned to her room before wrapping the blanket tightly around her.

She wanted to escape to her dreams, but her mind became clearer and clearer. She recalled what Xu Lin told her about Miss Liu being right.

How could she be right? It was impossible.

Outside the mansion, Yi Zilan once again discovered that the one who went out to buy things had changed. Without any hesitation, he immediately stopped the maidservant and asked. “Where’s the maidservant who went out to buy things yesterday?”

The maid was taken aback and replied in fear. “No, I don’t know.”

Yi Zilan frowned. He released the maidservant and immediately went back to report to Wu Changxian. Wu Changxian also frowned. After some thought, he decided to take a trip to Duke Xu’s Mansion personally.

Madam Xu had yet to wake up and the servants were not allowed to disturb her. However, the Minister of War had arrived. The old butler hurriedly asked the servants to entertain him before going to inform Madam Xu.

After washing up, Madam Xu went to the main hall.

Wu Changxian saw that Madam Xu’s face did not look good. He inquired politely. “What’s wrong, Madam Xu?”

Madam Xu glanced at Wu Changxian listlessly. “I want to see Miss Liu.”

Wu Changxian was a little surprised. Madam Xu did not even ask why he was here, as if she already knew the reason. She wanted to see Miss Liu, and Wu Changxian did not know if he should agree.

Madam Xu seemed to have expected this. Without any expression on her face, she said, “When I see Miss Liu, you will naturally know why.”

Wu Changxian thought for a moment and said, “Alright, Miss Liu is in the Ministry of War. If Madam Xu wants to see her, you can do it anytime.”

Madam Xu stood up. “Let’s go.”

Wu Changxian looked at Madam Xu. He didn’t know how to describe this feeling. Madam Xu seemed to have suddenly lost her soul. Compared to her previous madness, she puzzled people even more with her current behavior.

Wu Changxian wanted to see if something had happened to Xu Lin.

On their way out, he also saw Xu Lin. His face had a healthy glow, and he looked much better. Wu Changxian was even more puzzled.

Along the way, Madam Xu didn’t say anything. After entering the Ministry of War, Madam Xu said coldly, “Lord Wu, can you ask everyone else to leave? This is my private matter. I don’t want others to know about it.”

Wu Changxian could only ask everyone to leave. Madam Xu indeed had the right to make such a request. The emperor had already pardoned her. She was not a guilty person.

Madam Xu walked towards the cell. She looked at Liu Sanniang with an abnormally calm face. “You knew this all along, right?”

She could compose herself in front of others, but when she looked into Liu Sanniang’s eyes, she could not remain calm. She broke down, tears streaming down her face.

Madam Xu grabbed the cell door with both hands as she cried.

She was filled with hatred and pain. “You knew that this day would come. Are you feeling very smug now because I never believed you? Due to my stupid decision, I lost my last chance of saving my son. If you want to mock me, then mock me. Don’t hold it back.”

It was not easy for Madam Xu to hold on until now. She collapsed and slid down weakly, looking at Liu Sanniang with dead eyes.

With a calm expression, Liu Sanniang walked to Madam Xu and squatted down. “I’ve never felt smug. I feel sad.”

Madam Xu felt a lump in her throat. “Why don’t you mock me? I’ve lived for decades, but I’m as stupid as a fool. I turned your help down so many times, why do you still feel sad for me? Why aren’t you mocking me?”
