The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 757: The Bride-to-be VS the Black-hearted Maid (10)
"If you don't trust the Gu family, then you should at least trust our Kang family." Shi Yi took the initiative to step forward and said sincerely, "Miss Meng, I know that it was not your intention for things to go this way. Please believe me, I will definitely let you go out safely."
"Why should I believe you!" Meng Dong'er glared at her hatefully, blaming her for all the things that went wrong, "If it weren't for you, the young master wouldn't be so cruel to me."
Gu Sanmeng wanted to sew Meng Dong'er's mouth shut. There is no such a dog in the world who doesn't know how to appreciate kindness.
Seeing that she would not be soft, Shi Yi had to use force.
"The reason why you dare to threaten us with your own life is simply because you have occupied your cousin's body. If your cousin doesn't need the original body..." Meng Dong'er interrupted her, "It's impossible. If I die, you can't expect the young master to change it back!"
"Why are you so sure!" A voice came from behind the crowd. Everyone turned to look sideways, and saw a tall old man with white hair.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Meng Dong'er was stunned.
Isn't this the old man she helped up in the snow? She saw him dying at that time, and she fed him hot soup and steamed buns.
The old man sighed, "It's all the fault of the old Taoist. It was the old Taoist who stole the secret."
Everyone didn't understand what he meant, and saw that Meng Dong'er fell to the ground when he flipped his wrist.
The old man turned to look at Gu Sanmeng and bowed three times, "The cause of this matter will be discussed in detail after the old Taoist changes your and Miss Meng's bodies. Before changing your bodies back, the old Taoist hopes that the Gu family can agree to one of my requests."
Hearing that their son|grandson could be changed back, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu nodded happily, "You say, we will agree to any request."
Gu Sanmeng looked at him with doubt in his eyes. Shi Yi walked to "her" side and shook "her" palm. "She" looked back at her cousin and nodded gently.
"I ask the Gu family to forgive Miss Meng and let me take her away."
When Mrs. Gu and Madam Gu heard his request, they were a little unhappy.
Meng Dong'er had caused such a big storm at home. If her trick was not discovered, then all of them would be kept in the dark by her.
"I know this request is difficult. But this is the only request I promised to give Master Gu back his body." The old man's words contained a hint of threat.
"You old man!" Cui'er was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore. She walked forward and wanted to teach him a lesson, but he pushed her away with a light wave of his sleeves. Shi Yixin thought of [Use [Perseverance] Skill] and ran several steps with her skirt lifted before catching up with her, but she was still dragged by her and fell to the ground and rolled several times.
No one present dared to speak out loudly. They all saw that this old Taoist was a master.
Li Cun looked at his young master, and Gu Sanmeng clenched his fists in his sleeves and nodded to agree.
"Since Master Gu has agreed, I will change your bodies for you two tomorrow. Now, prepare a clean guest room for me and provide vegetarian food. After Master Gu returns, bathe your body with willow branches and burn incense for three hours. Come to my place to find me tomorrow at noon." The old man picked up the fainted Meng Dong'er and walked out.
Mrs. Gu, who had come to her senses, looked at the old nanny beside her and urged, "Why don't you lead the way? Everyone else, hurry up and make a little of each vegetarian dish to see what the gods like to eat and prepare more tomorrow."
Cui'er helped her young lady up and looked at the "immortal-like" figure of the old Taoist holding Meng Dong'er and spit two bubbles of saliva on the ground.
"Cui'er, restrain yourself." Shi Yi stretched out his hand to clean the dust off her body and blocked the murderous intent in his eyes when he lowered his eyes.
"Miss, that old Taoist is too arrogant. Meng Dong'er has done so many bad things, and he actually wants to take her away. He is simply helping the evil." Cui'er kicked the ground a few times in anger, but accidentally kicked a stone and cried out in pain.
"I told you to be careful, but you didn't listen." Shi Yi patted her on the shoulder, "Don't come to the Gu family these days. Wait for me at home."
"Miss, what do you mean? Don't you want me anymore?" Cui'er grabbed her sleeve and cried with snot and tears, so pitiful.
Gu Sanmeng walked to the two of them and said to Shi Yi in a gentle voice, "Come with me to my yard."
"Okay." Shi Yi supported Cui'er, who was injured in the foot, and followed behind "her".
Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu were in tears. They really didn't make a mistake in the beginning. The daughter of the Kang family is really excellent. She is generous, calm, and steady. She can hold on to things. Most importantly, she understands the concerns of her son|grandson. Where can you find such a good child again!
After seeing off the two ladies, Li Cun stayed behind and directed the servants to clean up the scene. The old Taoist
priest, who had been placed in a quiet guest room by the old nanny, tapped Meng Dong'er's neck and she woke up.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" She looked at her palms, which were broad and powerful, indicating that she was still using Gu Sanmeng's body. Her emotions immediately collapsed and she cried, "Grandpa, save me, save me, I don't want to die."
"Do you know that you have failed my kindness to you?" He could never bear to be cruel to this girl who had helped him. Even though what she was doing now had affected her cultivation.
"Grandpa, is it you who exchanged bodies with the young master?"
The old man nodded.
Meng Dong'er opened her eyes wide and said with emotion, "Dong'er really didn't expect you to fulfill my wish. You are the best person in the world to Dong'er. Dong'er really hopes to repay your kindness for the rest of her life. Dong'er has never had a grandfather, and I really hope to treat you as my real grandfather. Dong'er will definitely be by your side and serve you well." Although she had only met the old man once, she knew how to please him. When the old
man heard her words, his drooping face was embarrassed to continue to droop, "I have discussed with the Gu family. Tomorrow I will cast a spell to exchange your body for you and the young master of the Gu family, and then you follow me."
Meng Dong'er's eyes froze for a moment, and then they moved, "Grandpa, are you really going to take me away?"
The old man nodded, "You can no longer stay in the Gu family. If you follow me and leave here, practice Taoism together, maybe you will realize something."
Practice Taoism? Eating vegetarian food and practicing hard, this kind of life is not what I want. Meng Dong'er subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the old man is now her only lifeline.
She nodded heavily, crying and laughing, "Thank you grandpa for saving me."
