Chapter 1281 Master Miao's Problem
A year is enough time to rebuild a manor.
Meng Yunzheng laughed and said, "We'll fix it slowly, take a break every month or two, then continue fixing it, and then stop again."
If we're rushing to meet a deadline, it might be a bit of a challenge.
Now that they're delaying the project, isn't it easy for them to come up with a few reasons?
Mr. Miao didn't care. "Anyway, you can handle it yourselves. Whether you find someone to repair it or try to cover it up, it's all your business. If there are any problems, you can come to me. I'll help if it's just a small favor. If anything goes wrong, that's your responsibility."
"Don't worry, Master Miao."
"That's settled then. I'll just wait for Abbot Dongqing to return now."
As he spoke, he looked steadily at Shu Yu, "I hope you can keep your promise."
"Don't worry about that, Master Miao. I am, after all, a village head, right? I can still uphold the most basic principles of integrity. Besides, Master Miao has a large and powerful family. Would I dare to lie to you?"
Master Miao laughed heartily, "Then I'll wait for Lord Lu's good news."
Despite saying that, Shu Yu couldn't help but remind him, "Master Miao, I did promise to introduce you to my master, but you have to do it yourself. I can put in a good word for you, but my master is a monk, always compassionate and dedicated to helping people. If you do more good deeds, your image in front of my master will be better, right?"
Master Miao put down his wine cup and squinted at Shu Yu. What, this young lady wants to persuade him to give up his brothel and become a philanthropist instead?
Shu Yu wasn't intimidated by her gaze at all; she was just being kind. Of course, brothels could operate; the times were different, and brothels were legal here, so she couldn't possibly stop them.
But some things that are morally reprehensible should be avoided as much as possible, after all, Master Miao is not a soft-hearted person.
Master Miao remained silent, and Shu Yu offered no further advice.
Meng Yunzheng had already stood up. "Since the matter has been settled, we will take our leave. Please enjoy your meal, Mr. Miao. This meal is on me."
As they were about to leave, Master Miao suddenly spoke up, "Young Master Meng, may I have a word with you alone?"
Meng Yunzheng was surprised. He patted Shu Yu on the shoulder and said, "Wait for me outside."
"good."
After Shu Yu left, Master Miao watched the door to the private room close before finally asking the question he had been wanting to ask all along, "Young Master Meng, speaking of which, you also lost your mother at a young age. You have endured so much for so many years, haven't you felt any resentment, haven't you felt so much pain that you wanted to destroy everything? Your own mother was killed in front of you, can you really suppress the hatred in your heart?"
Meng Yunzheng never expected him to say this to him. To be honest, he was the first person to ask him this question in all these years.
He paused for a moment, then nodded. "Of course I have. More than once, I've wanted to die with my enemy. But they're not worth it. My life was bought with my mother's life; it's precious, and it doesn't just belong to me. I will take revenge, but I won't sacrifice myself. Otherwise, my mother wouldn't forgive me in the afterlife. She went to so much trouble for me; how could I betray her?"
He went to great lengths for me, how could I let him down?
Master Miao clenched his fist slightly. His sister had also gone to great lengths for him, and in the end, she even risked her life to protect him.
He also got his revenge, but unlike Meng Yunzheng, who now has a loving fiancée and a bright future, he fell into hell after taking his revenge.
