Chapter 63: Farewell

 Chapter 63: Farewell

"Enough, of course, it's enough," said Shu Yu.

She glanced at him, thinking about the one hundred taels of silver.

Although Shu Yu wanted to bleed him for more money, she knew that there was a limit. The current Old Master Yu was too superstitious and desperate to have a child. But as the head of such a large estate, he couldn't be that foolish. Once he calmed down, he would realize that having a child was not the only solution. If she played too many tricks, he would find out and be heartbroken.

For now, it was just right, not too much or too little.

However, Shu Yu still declined at first. After some bargaining, she reluctantly accepted the one hundred taels.

She wiped the blood off the corner of her mouth and stood up. "This silver is given by the benefactor. In the future, I will do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and the benefactor will naturally have a share of the credit. It's getting late, and the benefactor must have many things to attend to. I will take my leave."

"Wait a minute." Old Master Yu didn't want her to leave. This Taoist was so accurate, he hoped she could help him with his problem of having a child.

Old Master Yu blocked Shu Yu's way. "To be honest, there is something I want to ask for your advice, Daoist."

Shu Yu shook her head and smiled. "Although I don't know the details of what the benefactor wants, from the characters you showed me earlier, I can tell it's related to having children. As I said earlier, the cause of the benefactor's misfortune is related to his children. Don't force anything, let it happen naturally."

"What do you mean?" Old Master Yu asked.

"I am not proficient in divination, so I was only able to read the negative energy earlier. I can't help the benefactor now, but I can offer some advice. Whatever is meant to happen will happen. Don't force anything, and if you genuinely love your children and treat them well, don't use any unconventional means to harm them. Children will naturally feel the warmth and kindness, and your children's luck will flourish."

Old Master Yu was stunned. "So, I really can't have children in my lifetime?"

Shu Yu resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "I don't know about that. I'm not a doctor."

She continued to smile, "But don't be too pessimistic, as long as you sincerely love and cherish your children, and don't use unorthodox methods to harm them, they will naturally know that the benefactor's household is a good place to be, and their destiny will prosper."

"Pindao has said all that needs to be said. Farewell."

As Master Yu wanted to stop him, Shu Yu suddenly coughed twice and held her chest in discomfort. Master Yu immediately withdrew his hand.

This Taoist priest was clearly different from the swindler Master Geng. She was indifferent to fame and fortune, traveling around, and could not stay at the mansion for long. If he insisted on keeping her, he would eventually be the one at a disadvantage.

Master Yu wanted to ask for Shu Yu's name and address, but Shu Yu shook her head and said, "If we have fate, we will meet again."

Shu Yu left, and Master Yu was very regretful but couldn't stop her.

At the moment, he still had to deal with his wife and Master Geng's affair of conspiring to seek wealth and harm lives, and he really couldn't spare any other thoughts.

Master Yu face turned cold, and he walked back to the courtyard.

Mrs. Yu and Master Geng were not capable of resisting much. Under Master Yu questioning, they soon confessed their plan thoroughly.

Master Yu was shocked to learn that quite a few people in the mansion had been bribed by these two, not only the maids and sedan chair bearers around Mrs. Yu, but even the steward.

The steward quickly implicated old lady Ruan from Ruan Family Village. Master Yu thought of what Shu Yu had said, not to do anything harmful to the child. But what had this Ruan Pozi done? She had sold her granddaughter over a decade ago and was still committing evil deeds.
