After Becoming a Widow, I Became the Foolish Mother of Two Children

One day, Su Luo transmigrated and became the mother of two children. Not only was she mentally deficient, but she was also a widow. The family was destitute, living in an abandoned tile kiln by the...

Chapter 72 Mental Torture

How could Su Luo still sit still? Did she even know that she was the one who sold her daughter?

Either come here and give her a piece of your mind, or come and hit her.

Su Luo's actions will only inflict endless mental torment on Chen Xique.

After a whole day, Su Luo still hadn't made a move. It was too quiet, which made Chen Xique wonder.

This tranquility is like the calm before a storm.

Extremely terrifying.

...

These past two days, Su Luo has been staying with Yi Huan, doing nothing but taking Yi Huan with her even when they go to eat at the village entrance.

Since Yi Huan's accident, Zhao Ruyun has kept a closer eye on Yan Chuan, as well as Liu Fangfang, and won't let Chen Xiaoxiao out of her sight.

They didn't know who the human traffickers were, and they were afraid of being kidnapped and sold like Yi Huan.

"Mom, has Huanhuan become more beautiful?"

Yi Huan touched her previously swollen face and said.

"Beautiful, Huanhuan has always been beautiful."

"Can Huanhuan go play with her brother now?"

Go!

Three or four days have passed, and Yi Huan's external injuries have healed. Su Luo has also done the necessary emotional support. Now that Yi Huan wants to go play with Yan Chuan, Su Luo allows her to go.

"Mother-in-law!"

Su Luo went over to Zhao Ruyun and said, "Grandma, I'm going to the county today. Please keep an eye on Yanchuan and Yihuan."

Zhao Ruyun was also afraid that Yi Huan's incident would happen again, so she kept a close eye on her.

"Okay, come back soon."

Su Luo went there in the carriage driven by Xiao Er from Fu Man Lou, who delivered vegetables to Changping Village every morning.

When the eggplants in Su Luodi are ripe, they will also transport some back home.

Since she still had some money on hand, Su Luo felt that buying a carriage would make things much more convenient.

But the house isn't finished yet, there's nowhere to put the carriage, and she doesn't have time to raise the horses right now, so let's wait a while.

Upon arriving in the county, Su Luo neither went to find Nangong Qing nor disturbed Du Xiuyuan; instead, she went to a car dealership on her own.

She rented a horse-drawn carriage and a driver, and asked the driver to take her to Deliang County.

It takes an hour and a half to get from Yongle County to Deliang County, and we arrived at noon.

The carriage stopped in front of a large mansion.

The plaque above the gate bears the two characters "Xu Mansion" written with exceptional skill.

The person she came to see today was not the master of the Xu family mansion, but a Taoist priest.

There was a restaurant across from the Xu residence, but business wasn't very good. Su Luo booked a private room and had lunch there.

"Madam Su, I'm right outside. Please call me if you need anything."

The coachman and carriage will serve Su Luo all day.

"I happen to need your help with something!"

Su Luo took out eleven taels of silver and gave it to the coachman.

"See that Xu residence over there? Give these ten taels of silver to the two servants guarding the gate and ask them to go in and arrange for Master Xukong to come out. Tell him I have a big business deal to discuss with him. The remaining one tael of silver is for you."

The coachman's eyes lit up, and he happily accepted the money, saying, "Thank you, Madam Su, thank you, Madam Su..."

Su Luo sat by the window of the private room and watched the coachman and the two gatekeepers talking. After giving the money to the two men, one of them immediately ran into the Xu residence.

After about two incense sticks' worth of time, the servant brought out a Taoist priest.

This man had a full head of white hair, and with a flick of his whisk, he exuded an air of otherworldly elegance.

Led by the driver, they arrived at Su Luo's private room.

Xu Kong thought that the person he was going to discuss a big business deal with would at least be a man, preferably a landlord like Master Xu, but he didn't expect to see a woman when he entered the door.

"Oh, so you're a young lady. Since you're looking for this old Taoist priest, why didn't you greet her at the door?"

Su Luo stood up and smiled gently: "Master serves the Three Pure Ones day and night. Shouldn't you be even more tolerant of ignorant women like us?"

If Xu Kong said anything after Su Luo said this, it would seem that he was not magnanimous.

"Master Void, please have a seat. Would you like to have lunch together?"

Xu Kong sat opposite Su Luo; he had already eaten at the Xu residence.

"No need. What is your surname, young lady? Where are you from? What business do you want to discuss with this old Taoist priest? Is it a ritual? Or a feng shui consultation?"

Su Luo shook her head: "My surname is not important, and I'm not here to ask you to perform a ritual."

"Then why are you looking for the old Taoist priest?"

Void was puzzled; given his reputation, far too many people wanted him to perform rituals.

Su Luo handed a birth chart to Xu Kong: "You are Master Xu's savior. I am just helping Master Xu find another bride to bring him good luck."

This birth date and time is indeed Chen Xique's.

The old Taoist priest calculated with his fingers and said, "The person with this birth chart is only eighteen years old, while Master Xu is already over seventy. Doing something harmful is morally reprehensible, and this old Taoist priest is powerless to help."

Su Luo sneered. If she hadn't inquired beforehand, she would have actually believed what she heard.

He took out a one-hundred-tael silver note from his sleeve and placed it in front of the void.

"Master, when it comes to business, we should look at the benefits first."

When Su Luo saw the hundred-tael silver note, his empty eyes flashed, and she didn't miss his expression.

"May the Heavenly Venerable grant me boundless blessings! This is an act that diminishes one's virtue; this old Taoist cannot do it, cannot do it..."

Su Luo took out another hundred-tael silver note and said, "If this matter succeeds, I'll give you another hundred taels, how about that?"

The hand that was touching the floating dust in the void stopped, and then closed its eyes, as if sitting in meditation.

Xu Kong was already incredibly excited, never expecting this woman to be so generous, giving him two hundred taels in one go.

He had no worries about food and clothing in the Xu family, but all his gold and silver came from exchanging pills with Master Xu. After taking pills for several years, Master Xu's health deteriorated, and it was unknown how much longer he could live.

If the wealthy man dies, he won't be able to stay in the Xu family mansion anymore, but with this money from Su Luo, he can return to the Taoist temple and enjoy a long and peaceful life.

"May the Heavenly Venerable grant me boundless blessings! Forgive me! Forgive me!"

After a while, Xu Kong didn't hear Su Luo speak again, and instead started eating her meal by herself.

In terms of willpower, Xu Kong has never lost. Su Luo gave him this birth date and time, so she must hate this person to the core.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much money on this. No one knows better than Master Xu what kind of person he is; he's a woman who's attracted to both men and women.

After Su Luo finished eating, Xu Kong didn't react. He didn't leave or say anything. It seemed that two hundred taels of silver wasn't enough and he was still waiting for her to add more silver for him.

Sure enough, no matter how old a person is, they can't escape the word "greed".

"Master Void, do you still remember Huang Bao?"

Upon hearing this name, the Void's eyes snapped open. Wasn't Huang Bao dead?

He was even abandoned by Master Xu at the mass grave. How could this woman know Huang Bao?

Su Luo continued, "After Huang Bao died, he was abandoned in the Chaotic Mound. Before he committed suicide, he wrote a letter in blood. If it weren't for this letter, I wouldn't have known about Master Xukong's existence."

Huang Bao was also a pitiful boy. What kind of humiliation could drive him to choose suicide?

"Where's the blood oath? Give me the blood oath, what's written on it?"

The ethereal, otherworldly demeanor of the void instantly crumbled, revealing its true, harsh gaze.
