The head of the Shi family felt that she probably wouldn't be interested in ordinary, mundane things.
He then brought with him a magical artifact that he had acquired by chance decades ago.
She handed the brocade box to Qin Luo.
"This is said to be a Taoist ritual implement, capable of transforming the balance of Yin and Yang in the world."
Qin Luo stared at the box, her head full of question marks.
Why do you think I would like this?
Even the head of the Shisun family was stumped by her question.
"Don't you know Taoist magic? Shouldn't you be eager to acquire these magical artifacts?"
Qin Luo didn't even bother to look at it, and pushed the hand that was handing her the gift box back.
"You should keep it for yourself; I'm not interested in it."
After saying that, she picked up Wu Hua and prepared to leave. The head of the Shi Sun family saw her about to leave.
In her panic, she fell off the chair, not caring about her disheveled appearance.
Shout in Qin Luo's direction
"Don't go, I can exchange it for something else, please, please let me see my Yueyue one more time."
Qin Luo and Wu Hua were both moved by what they saw, and they silently asked each other in their hearts whether they should help her.
The question was answered as soon as it was asked; Qin Luo put down Wu Hua and helped her up.
Wu Hua also picked up the brocade box that had fallen to the ground and handed it to her.
"You should take this back with you. If you lose it, you'll never see your Yueyue again."
The head of the Shisun family didn't know why he said that, but he still immediately accepted the brocade box.
"Could it be that Yueyue is in this box?"
Wu Hua shook her head
"This magical artifact is called the Yin-Yang Board. Your daughter was not taken away by the ghost messengers thanks to it. Otherwise, a weak soul could not have stayed in the human world alone for so long."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Shisun family clutched the brocade box tightly to his chest.
He looked at Wu Hua with a face full of gratitude.
Thank you!
Wu Hua smiled nonchalantly, walked over to Qin Luo, and tugged at her sleeve.
He seemed like a completely different person from the serious-looking child from before.
Qin Luo patted her little head, took a lollipop out of the bag, and fed it to her.
The head of the Shisun family felt a pang of envy watching the interaction between the two.
If her Yueyue were still alive, she would surely be just as lively and adorable.
She looked at Qin Luo again and asked, "How can you be so intimate with me?"
"Girl Gongshan, what will it take for you to help me?"
Qin Luo looked at her seemingly genuinely confused expression and sighed deeply in her heart.
She didn't understand what was wrong with this person; he didn't even understand the logic of paying money to ask someone to do a favor.
Don't you understand? Or is it that she simply doesn't want to give it to you?
She kept ranting and raving in her heart, but Wu Hua didn't care about any of that.
He walked up to the head of the Shisun family, stretched out his small hand, and began to calculate the accounts.
“I can help you, but it will cost a lot of money. You’ve probably tried ordinary cow tears before, so you should know how precious they are.”
The head of the Shi family nodded repeatedly.
"I know, I know..."
Wu Hua then counted on her fingers.
"We also need to set up an isolation array for your daughter to prevent her from being harassed by the ghost messengers, and we also need to find a way to protect you from being harmed by her yin energy..."
He rattled off a whole bunch of things, making even the head of the Shi Sun family suspicious.
He only got an accurate figure when he realized whether his family's assets were enough.
“I won’t ask you for an exorbitant price. I’ll just barely charge you 200,000 taels for the cost, and that will be enough to make you my friend.”
Upon hearing this, the head of the Shi family realized that the amount was far less than he had expected.
He agreed immediately.
"Alright, alright, I was arrogant before. I apologize to you both and thank you for not holding a grudge."
"Of course, of course. I hope that Patriarch Shisun will take good care of me in the future."
"Definitely, definitely."
The two of them, going back and forth, finally settled the matter.
Qin Luo, standing to the side, was completely stunned. In just a moment...
Two hundred thousand taels arrived? She even had the idea of renaming Wan Gu to Ze Shui Ge.
Fortune telling, face reading, and even walking on the edge of the earth – these are businesses with no capital.
Earning money is much faster than opening an auction house.
She chuckled to herself as she thought about it, noticing the puzzled look on the face of the Shi Sun family head.
Suddenly I feel that the big one isn't as stable as the small one.
He's already over ten years old and doesn't seem to be in a hurry, while his younger sister is so intelligent.
He's still acting like a fool; what if they fight over the inheritance later?
She fears she'll be left far behind by her sister, hence her attitude towards Wu Hua.
They also became more friendly.
"Second Miss Gongshan, now that we've reached an agreement, I'll have someone prepare the money shortly. I wonder when this matter will be settled?"
Wu Hua knew she was eager to see Shi Sun Yue, so she didn't delay any longer.
"Let's do it tonight. You go back to your residence first. My sister and I will prepare the necessary items for setting up the formation and will visit your residence immediately."
Patriarch Shi Sun was surprised by his thoughtfulness and thanked him repeatedly.
She summoned a maid to carry her back to the mansion, intending to do so before the two men arrived.
She had the accountant prepare 200,000 taels of silver, and had just left...
Wu Hua slapped Qin Luo awake, who was still lost in her fantasy.
"Still dreaming? Let's tell Seven Sister and Tu Men'an, then hurry back."
"Why go back? Can't we just go to Shisun's residence?"
Wu Hua rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the back of her head.
"Have you forgotten how difficult it is to get Niu Niu's tears? We risked being attacked by Chuangfei before and only managed to get a few drops. This time we need a huge amount!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo slapped his forehead.
"Yes, yes, let's go quickly."
She picked up Wu Hua and found the county magistrate, first bowing to her.
Then he looked anxiously at Qi Niang and Tu Men'an.
"Seventh Sister, An'an, it's probably too late for today. We'll go check on the shop tomorrow. My son and I have other things to do, so we'll head back now. See you tomorrow!"
