He would never forget the look in his late wife’s eyes before she died.

The main reason he became an officer was because he wanted to find his daughter.

Even if his daughter was really dead, he had to bring her remains back. He had promised his late wife that he would not give up searching for her for the rest of his life.

Only then did Mr. Liu and Madam Wei realize who he was begging.

Liu Sanniang couldn’t bear to look at him kneeling there. She stood up and said, “Please, please get up.”

Mr. Liu and Madam Wei’s faces turned cold. Mr. Liu helped Officer Zhou up and asked. “Why are you looking for my daughter? You can’t force her to marry you.”

Women’s hearts softened easily, but he was a man and would not fall for such petty tricks. Two drops of tears would not move him.

His daughter was still young and there were many people who liked her.

Madam Wei thought the same. “Brother, my daughter is just a child. If there’s anything you want to tell us, just tell us. If we can help you, we will. If not, there’s nothing we can do.”

Officer Zhou looked at Liu Sanniang with a confused expression on his face. Didn’t her family know about her ability?

Officer Zhou was a little embarrassed. He didn’t expect that Liu Sanniang didn’t tell her family about it. After the mortuary case, he couldn’t sleep at all and was very tired.

“I’m sorry, Miss Liu.”

Officer Zhou lowered his head apologetically. He knew why Liu Sanniang didn’t tell her parents about it. After all, she was just a little girl.

Most psychics did not get married in their lives and suffered from all kinds of illnesses. It wasn’t easy to be a psychic.

Mr. Liu and Madam Wei looked at Liu Sanniang in confusion.

Liu Sanniang wanted to keep her ability a secret, but it seemed like she couldn’t hide it anymore.

She stood up to get the bowl. “Sit down first. Let’s talk as we eat.”

Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang were completely baffled but did not say anything. However, they glanced at Liu Sanniang from time to time. When did their sister become so mysterious?

Liu Sanniang briefly told her father and Madam Wei about her ability to be able to communicate with spirits.

She only said that she suddenly acquired this ability after she got sick. At that time, when the mortuary was burned down, Liu Cheng went back on his word and she was forced to use this god-given ability.

Mr. Liu did not know what to say.

Even Madam Wei fell silent, no longer smiling.

Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang remained quiet as well.

Last time, when Liu Sanniang was sick, they had seen a witch and psychic invited over at the house by their parents. However, they could not associate those people with their sister.

Once their sister became a psychic, she would have to remain single all her life.

Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Mom, Sanniang is not a psychic.”

Madam Wei thought so too. Her daughter was a good girl who knew how to embroider and cook. She looked fair and gentle. How could she be a psychic?

With a cold face, Madam Wei wanted to chase Officer Zhou away. “Dalang, Erlang, send the guest off.”

Officer Zhou panicked. “Miss Liu, please help me. I can do anything.”

Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang had already stuffed the things that Zhou Yu brought back to him and started to push him out.

Liu Sanniang frowned but did not speak.

She didn’t want to be a psychic either.

In her previous life, her greatest regret was not getting married. She did not want to be a psychic and remain single in this life.

Before Liu Sanniang could speak, Madam Wei clasped her hands and prayed. “God, don’t torture my daughter please. Take back this ability. She doesn’t want to be a psychic.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Madam Wei and felt much less guilty about not helping Officer Zhou. To her, the most important thing was taking care of her parents.

In her previous life, she was not the only one who regretted not getting married. Madam Wei and Mr. Liu also felt terrible about it.

Even if she didn’t help Officer Zhou, he wouldn’t give up on looking for his daughter.

What mattered the most to her was being filial to her parents and making up for the regrets of her previous life.

After Officer Zhou was chased out, perhaps because he had thought it through, he did not come looking for trouble again.

A few days later, a middle-aged woman came to the house. She was a matchmaker.

Liu Sanniang heard Madam Wei rejecting Liu Shun’s proposal.

Liu Shun was a scholar. The matchmaker had brought a generous sum of money and patted her chest to guarantee that this would be a great marriage. She even used her reputation as a matchmaker to guarantee it.

However, much to her surprise, Madam Wei rejected this proposal.

The matchmaker was unhappy. What right did the Liu family have to look down on a scholar who had a bright future? No matter how good-looking Liu Sanniang was, she was by no means a rich girl.

Madam Wei explained that it was not that she looked down on Liu Shun, but that the match wasn’t what they wanted.

No matter what Madam Wei said, the matchmaker still looked unhappy. She had guaranteed Liu Shun that this match would work, and Liu Shun also promised her a handsome reward. Knowing that her reward was gone, the matchmaker immediately pulled a long face.

Liu Sanniang stopped embroidering. Her mother and the matchmaker were talking in the hall, so she could hear them clearly.

Liu Sanniang was also curious and decided to listen in. She was really afraid that Madam Wei would not be able to reject the matchmaker.

Luckily, Madam Wei made up her mind. She said, “Matchmaker Xu, it’s not that I look down on Liu Shun, but that they are not compatible. Sanniang is just an ordinary girl. Liu Shun has a bright future ahead of him. He will definitely become an official in the future. He might even take in a concubine. I only have one daughter. After thinking about it, I have decided to marry her to someone else.”

Hearing her reason, the matchmaker was convinced and her expression softened. “That’s true.”

One could tell at a glance that Liu Shun was a promising person. If he was successful, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t take in a concubine.

Seeing that her expression had softened, Madam Wei quickly added. “Matchmaker Xu, you understand, right? I just want to find someone who loves my daughter the most.”

Matchmaker Xu looked at Madam Wei. “You have really made up your mind?”

If she missed such a good son-in-law, she wouldn’t be able to find another one as fine as this one.

Madam Wei sighed. “It’s hard to make this decision, but we have to.”

Matchmaker Xu thought for a moment and stopped persuading Madam Wei. If she continued, she’d make Liu Sanniang feel more important.

Matchmaker Xu stood up. “Since you’ve decided, I won’t persuade you anymore. But remember, even if you regret it in the future, there is no coming back.”

Liu Shun had always been hardworking. It was only a matter of time before he became successful.

After Matchmaker Xu left the Liu family, Madam Wei closed the door with a forced smile before breathing in a sigh of relief.

Liu Sanniang heaved a sigh of relief too.

At the thought that the money was going to be gone, Matchmaker Xu got angry and spat at the door of the Liu family’s house. A figure walked towards Matchmaker Xu and said with a smile, “Matchmaker Xu, did you come to talk about marriage? Come, come over to my house.”
