Chapter 28 Madam Si drives away Qingbao, who can save lives.
What Old Mrs. Si said was exactly what Qingbao came here for.
Qingbao discovered that all the resentment had followed her third uncle to the Si family, but none of it had been used to exact revenge.
The perpetrators remain at large, while innocent people lose their lives.
This was something she, as a judge, could not bear to see.
"Qingbao," the old lady said, stroking Qingbao's head with a loving expression.
"Actually, your uncles are not bad people; they were just blinded by others."
"Great-grandmother, please, you must save your third uncle and make him tell the truth himself, so that those people can be exposed for their hypocrisy."
Only in this way will the Si family find peace in the future.
Mrs. Si had been ill for twenty years and was no longer able to cope with what was happening in her family.
But now that she's recovered, she wants to take on the responsibility of leading the family during these ten years.
We can't let the Si family collapse like this.
This is the home she has built up over forty years with her dowry and hard work.
Qingbao nodded, "Yes, but this is my third uncle's fate. I may not be able to save him, but I can make him wake up and tell the truth."
She won't go to save her third uncle.
My third uncle treated my mother badly.
She just wanted her third uncle to wake up, tell the truth, and let the Si family see Si Yao's true colors.
Whether or not Yama will take him in later is not something Qingbao can decide.
The little guy got down from his second uncle's arms.
He picked up the judge's pen, preparing to touch his third uncle's forehead.
Just then.
"Madam, that's wonderful! Daoist Wufeng foresaw that our Si family was in for a calamity and has come to us himself!"
The servants shouted loudly, anticipating Qingbao's actions.
“Mother-in-law, the most famous Taoist priest Wufeng from the Great Xia Dynasty has arrived. He will surely have a way to dispel this black aura and save Zhao’er.”
A glimmer of hope ignited in Madam Si's eyes.
She went berserk, blocking Qingbao's path and preventing her from taking a single step forward.
She feared that her third son would suffer the same fate as the master, harmed by Qingbao's evil magic.
Madam Si said with a stern face, "Have you ever thought about how such a coincidence could possibly happen in the world?"
No wonder he's an old man who's lived to this age; his insight is truly sharp.
He saw through the truth of the matter at a glance.
"Since you're already here, let the Taoist priest give it a try. Otherwise, do you really want Qingbao to harm your grandson the way she harmed the master?"
Madam Si remained stubborn and refused to budge an inch.
Qingbao is a jinx; anyone who gets even half a step close to her feels like their son is being cursed to death by her.
The old lady sighed, "You really are stubborn, you won't give up until you're completely defeated."
"Please, Daoist Wufeng!" Madam Si called out.
Master Wufeng walked in slowly with two junior disciples. He was wearing a Taoist robe and stroking his beard slightly, looking quite like a sage.
Madam Si recognized him at a glance, "You are the Taoist priest who went to the Su family to attend the full moon celebration back then?"
"It is indeed I, Daoist Wufeng," Daoist Wufeng replied quietly.
When he went to the Su family to celebrate the baby's one-month birthday, he specially told the fortunes of the Su family's two granddaughters in order to repay the hospitality of the old lady Su.
Immediately, he told Madam Su that one of the women was a reincarnation of a malevolent star, with an inherently wicked nature. If she was not guided to the path of good, she would surely bring ruin and death to the Su family.
Three years have passed, and it seems that Madam Su must have spent a lot of time and effort educating her granddaughter.
"It's you? You said one of the two children in the Su family is a jinx?" Qingbao poked her head out, frowning unhappily.
Master Wufeng chuckled and replied, "I saw it through my insight into cause and effect."
He was quite proud.
Qingbao gripped the judge's pen tightly in her hand. "Then take a look and see if I'm the jinx you're talking about!"
Damn it, that damned old Taoist priest's divination caused her and her mother to suffer endless injustices, forcing them to hide in the countryside to survive.
The mother, having no one to rely on, took Qingbao back to the village, where she endured countless scornful looks and ridicule.
cause and effect?
Why doesn't he experience the consequences of his own actions?
Master Wufeng glanced at it.
He stopped in his tracks at just one glance!
This child, she is...
"Master, don't worry about her for now. Please come and see my son. He is surrounded by black energy, and the doctors can't save him."
Madam Si stepped forward and urged, "Quickly call the Taoist priest over to take a look."
If it weren't for this cloud of black energy, my son might have been saved.
Master Wufeng snapped out of his daze, quickly walked to the bedside, and his face immediately turned even more grim.
"How could I have attracted such a malevolent spirit with such heavy resentment?"
Such resentment would require at least a hundred deaths to accumulate.
Moreover, they were merely giving him a warning; they didn't actually take his life.
What does this tell us?
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Si asked.
Master Wufeng said with a serious expression, "This evil spirit probably wanted revenge, but failed to do so, so it vented all its resentment on your son."
Simply put, it means your foolish son took the blame for someone else's misfortune.
Madam Si's expression changed drastically. Recalling what Qingbao had said, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
"It must be one of those soldiers guarding the city, or one of the men Su Xiao brought, that is the target of evil spirits seeking revenge!"
"That's why you harmed my son! It must be!"
"I don't know about that," said Master Wufeng. "To drive away evil spirits, we need to set up an altar and perform a ritual, which is really dangerous."
"Please, Taoist priest, save my son. I'm willing to pay any price." Madam Si knelt down before the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest secretly suppressed his smile. "It will consume a lot of my magic power, but seeing how devout you are and how much you love your son, I will only charge you five hundred taels at most."
"I do, I do!" Madam Si immediately agreed.
Her youngest son, like Yao'er, excelled in both martial arts and horsemanship.
If he can be saved, he will surely be trained into a young general, bringing glory to the Si family.
Five hundred taels is nothing.
She is a mother who is very willing to spend money on her children.
"Open the jar!"
Outside Si Zhao's courtyard, two young Taoist priests were setting up an altar.
Qingbao found a small corner to lean against, leisurely twirling the pen in her hand, as if watching a play.
Si Ye walked over, squatted down beside her, and fed her fruit.
"Good Qingbao, you've seen it too. Your second uncle is truly devoted to you. When will you connect with the underworld and have your second uncle apologize to King Yama?"
It was getting dark.
Si Ye was scared.
Qingbao waved her hand, her little face innocent, and said:
"Don't worry, after they finish their ritual, I'll have that old bastard Yama come up to see you!"
