Chapter 111 That Person Comes in Person
Then, Mrs. Huang gave her two choices. The first was to expose the adulterer, abort the child, and leave the Huang Mansion, but she would be given a small sum of money. The second was that the child did not have to be aborted, and the Huang Mansion would allow her to be with that man, but they would not give her any money.
She shook her head helplessly and said, "She came to me when she was thirteen. I raised her for three whole years. I couldn't bear to see her end up in such a bad way. My original intention was to have her confess her adulterer, find her a place to recuperate, and marry into an ordinary family in a few years. But I never expected that she would refuse to confess her adulterer and instead insisted on having the child aborted."
At this point, her expression grew serious, and she continued, "I don't know who was behind this, but they turned abortion into beating with a stick. By the time I came to my senses, rumors were already flying everywhere. I didn't care at first, but a series of things happened together, and it became like this."
Li Xiu praised: "The old lady is kind-hearted."
"It's nothing good or bad, it's just that the child is really likable."
Madam Huang's face showed regret. "She is innocent and naive. She would never have seduced anyone. She must have been seduced by that man. To do such a thing, she must not be a good match. I originally wanted to take that man's life to avenge Yu'er. If she didn't accept this kindness, then I wouldn't have to care about her anymore. It's a pity...ah."
Tao Zi tapped the table as she pondered this matter.
Maybe it's not the dead who are haunting us?
Mr. Huang appeared at this time.
"Immortal, how is it?"
Li Xiu repeated the result, and Mr. Huang looked dejected. If it was an ordinary doctor or Taoist priest, he could still curse a few words and tell the person to get out, but this was an immortal.
Madam Huang smiled and shook her head, then slowly stood up and said, "I'm tired. I'll leave first."
Mr. Huang hurried forward and helped her leave.
The butler led them out.
Outside the door, Xi Jing and the other two were chatting with the servants in the mansion. Hua Monk was standing in front of a little girl, muttering, "Miss, you really don't want to be a nun?"
The housekeeper's face darkened, and he quickly cursed her. He stepped forward and signaled the maid to take the young lady away, saying, "This monk, we have said many times that our young lady will not become a nun!"
Hua Seng was about to say something when Li Xiu spoke first, "Let's go back first. Brother Han can't hold on any longer."
Han Yueshan, who was still able to stand upright, looked over with a confused expression.
Several people took the flower monk back.
Hua Seng sighed repeatedly on the way. Xi Jing couldn't help but say, "She's such an innocent little girl, and you insist on saying that she has committed a grave sin. Anyone would be angry if they were in this situation."
The flower monk retorted: "Karma, retribution, reincarnation is inevitable."
Zhao Xue asked curiously, "Are you saying that the eldest daughter of the Huang family was a villain in her previous life?"
He coughed and said, "My cultivation is not enough. I can only see the severity of the sin. As for the reason, I don't know."
Tao Zi paused.
"Tao Mei, what did you think of?"
She said, "A concubine thirteen years ago and a twelve-year-old child."
Li Xiu suddenly realized, "You mean, 'The mother's evil deeds will be punished on her child?'"
"It's not impossible."
Several people looked at them blankly, and she said, "Go back first."
When they arrived at the inn, they sat together and discussed the news.
Xi Jing and the others found out that the dead servants were a personal servant of Mr. Huang and a horse servant in the stable. On the surface, they saw that they had no relationship with each other.
Tao Zi pondered for a moment and said, "Xi Jing, the three of you go check if these two people have any relatives related to them, even if they are distant relatives."
Xi Jing and the other two responded excitedly, "Okay!"
Li Xiu propped up her head and looked at her, saying slowly: "Miss Tao seems to be very concerned about this matter."
She replied seriously with four words: "Ten taels of gold."
Suddenly, he choked.
Forgot, these are a group of poor cultivators.
"Oh right." She seemed to remember something and said, "Let's check who started these rumors, especially those targeting Madam Huang. There might be a connection."
"good."
The flower monk asked, "What do you want to do?"
Tao Zi was silent for a moment before answering, "Just follow your plan."
"Then I will continue to persuade Miss Huang to become a nun?"
Everyone was speechless.
He laughed and said, "There are a group of Taoist priests doing the ghost hunting, so they don't need me."
While they were talking, a rare quarrel broke out at the Huang Mansion.
Mr. Huang paced back and forth in the inner room angrily, repeatedly saying, "She's dead, there's no saving her!"
He repeated this sentence several times.
Madam Huang closed her eyes and rested on the couch, saying, "I am about to die."
He fell silent for a moment, crouching in a corner, ruffling his hair. He managed to speak, "You should know she made a grave mistake. If what we did were to be discovered, the fate of the Huang family would be in the hands of the immortal cultivators. Whether they kill us or not would depend entirely on their mood."
"Her current grave sin can change the kindness she showed us before? There's nothing more ungrateful than this. Besides, the truth is still unknown. Aren't there enough wrongful convictions in this world?"
"That was the judgment made by Qinglan Tianzun himself, there's no way he could be wrong! And the Huang Mansion..."
She opened her eyes, interrupted him, and said coldly, "Is there even one child in this mansion that belongs to me? My only child died at the hands of your beautiful concubine. I've sacrificed so much for the Huang family, and now, I can't be so reckless for once?"
Mr. Huang moved his lips, his face dejected, and finally compromised: "Then I'll go check if there's any way out under Xingfeng, okay?"
Mrs. Huang closed her eyes and stopped talking.
After Mr. Huang left, she opened her eyes, walked to the dressing table with the help of a cane, and took out a red and white hairpin from among the jewelry. There was a word faintly engraved on the end of the hairpin - dye.
This hairpin is smooth and delicate, and it can be seen that it is often held in the palm of someone's hand and played with.
She turned around, and the hairpin head immediately separated from the body. She looked inside and found that the hairpin was hollow, with a few yellowed pieces of paper inside.
Mrs. Huang stared at it intently, and didn't know how long it took before she put the hairpin back.
Mr. Huang always thought that she believed that the man was innocent out of friendship, but he didn't know that the man had a premonition many years ago and made preparations early.
Although she didn't know the truth, she must protect the hairpin until Xing Zhan from the Xingtang Hall found it, or... that person came in person.
Thinking of this, Madam Huang's eyes lit up. She raised her voice and ordered, "A Tao, go find out where the two immortals are staying today. If possible, invite them to stay at the Huang Mansion for a while."
Not long after, the people who received the invitation arrived at the Huang Mansion, accompanied by a shameless and unwelcome monk in the Huang family.
Despite everyone's disgusted gazes, the Flower Monk smiled and said, "Amitabha, I'm sorry to bother you."
The housekeeper forced a smile and said, "No, no, you are a guest."
