A drop of black blood was extracted from the soul, and it eagerly returned to the body.

Zang Jinqing was stunned. Looking at the drop of black blood, he felt that it resembled an endless sin. He trembled and slapped himself. What kind of wicked thing had he done?

Liang Jinqing was regretful and angry. “Miss Liu, what is this?”

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “This is a bloody sin.”

Zhuo Jinqing was terrified. “Bloody sin? It’s from Miao Yin.”

At the thought of this, Liang Jinqing gritted his teeth. They worshiped Miao Yin as their goddess, but she wanted to cast her sins on them. He couldn’t imagine what would happen to the others who had been cured by Miao Yin.

Liu Sanniang held the bloody sin and flicked it into the void. The drop of black blood disappeared. Liang Jinqing was puzzled. “Why is it gone?”

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “It went back to where it belonged.”

Since the bloody sin came from Miao Yin, it naturally had to return to her. This belonged to her. No one should bear the sin for her.

If one knew that the life of one’s loved one was the price, how many people would be willing to give it up?

“Father…”

Liang Long slowly opened his eyes and called out to his father softly.

Tears streamed down Liang Jinqing’s face as he picked up his son lovingly. “Hey, I’m here.”

Liang Long reached out and touched his father’s face. “Dad, why is your eye bleeding?”

Liang Jinqing cried. “It’s fine. I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”

He was greedy and wanted his eye to grow back, but he could not afford the price of it at all, so he had to suffer the pain of losing his eye again.

By now, Liang Jinqing hated Miao Yin to death.

“Long.”

Liang Long’s mother came back to her senses and knelt in front of the bed, crying.

The servant girls also cried joyful tears. Now that their young master was still alive, they could escape being punished or sold off.

Liang Long did not seem to know what had happened. He rubbed his eyes and said, “Father, Mother, I think I had a dream that I was eaten by a terrifying monster. It was so dark and I was scared.”

Liang Jinqing was filled with regret. He was that monster whom his son had dreamt of.

Mrs. Liang did not know what was going on. She did not understand what Liang Jinqing and Liu Sanniang were talking about, but she was frightened that her son had almost died. At this moment, she did not want to think about what was the underlying reason as long as everything was back to normal again.

Liu Sanniang said, “You are destined to lose an eye. Forcing the eye to grow back will naturally carry a heavy cost.”

One had to be wary of others and not harm others.

Liang Jinqing wiped his tears and looked at Liu Sanniang. He bowed respectfully. “Miss Liu, thank you. I understand the lesson this time. Those who look good might not be really good. On the second of April, I’ll definitely be there to support you. What goddess? She’s more like a witch.”

Goddesses wouldn’t do such a thing. Only demons would.

Liu Sanniang nodded at Liang Jinqing. “Thank you.”

She turned around and left with Chu Yan.

Only then did Liang Jinqing notice that Liu Sanniang hadn’t come alone. He was a little shocked. This man must also be a powerful person. He was there all this while, but no one noticed him.

Liang Jinqing heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Liu Sanniang came in time to save his son.

Looking at his son whom he had lost and retrieved again, Liang Jinqing had a mixed feeling.

Mrs. Liang cried for a while before calming down. Her eyes were red and swollen. “What exactly is going on?”

After Liang Jinqing explained in detail, Mrs. Liang was stunned for a moment before responding. “Then… then won’t the capital be in chaos soon?”

Would everyone who was cured by Miao Yin lose their loved ones?

Liang Jinqing hugged his son and felt much more at ease. “Thank God.”

Mrs. Liang grabbed her son’s hand and asked. “Will Miss Liu help them?”

Liang Jinqing couldn’t help but sigh. “Definitely.”

However, people were unpredictable. While some people might believe Liu Sanniang, many others wouldn’t.

In any case, he believed her. He even felt that Liu Sanniang was more like a goddess than Miao Yin. One was pushing people down to hell, and the other was thinking of a way to pull people out of despair.

After leaving the Liang Mansion, Liu Sanniang went straight to the Xuanyi Mansion.

Coincidentally, they met a carriage from the Xuanyi Mansion on the way. When the coachman saw Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan, he stopped.

Wei Shilai lifted the curtain and was about to ask why the coachman stopped when he saw Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. He looked nervous. “Miss Liu, I know what the price Miao Yin was referring to.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Wei Shilai. “How did you know?”

Wei Shilai sighed. “It’s my wife. She went to see Miao Yin. If not for the fact that she was hesitant, I’m afraid I would have lost my daughter already.”

Liu Sanniang did not expect Mrs. Wei to go to see Miao Yin. If even someone like Mrs. Wei was tempted, what about the others?

Liu Sanniang said slowly, “Sir, as the minister of the Xuanyi mansion, you have the right to close down Yuqiong Pavilion, right?”

Wei Shilai frowned. “Miss Liu, the Third Prince is the de facto owner of Yuqiong Pavilion. I can’t close it down, but I can stop Miao Yin from harming people again.”

Liu Sanniang nodded. It was indeed very difficult to go against the members of the royal family. Wei Shilai had done his best.

Wei Shilai looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, do you already know that the price Miss Miao Yin makes people pay is lives?”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Not only does she want people’s lives, but she is also transferring her bloody sins to others.”

Wei Shilai took a deep breath. “This is outrageous. Everyone thought that the price they had to pay was just money.”

Liu Sanniang said, “Sir, I’m going to take back those bloody sins and return them to her.”

Wei Shilai thought of the people Miao Yin had saved and felt a headache coming on.

He told Liu Sanniang to be careful before ordering the coachman to return.

He did not care if what he was going to do would offend the Third Prince. He only knew that he had to do this.

He had to tell the world the truth. The price was simply too heavy no matter what diseases Miao Yin cured.
