Chapter 1282 Empathy
Meng Yunzheng left, but Master Miao remained seated, holding his wine glass, motionless for a long time.
The attendant looked at him with some worry. After a while, he heard his slightly deep voice, "After you return to the city tomorrow, go to Piaoxiang Courtyard and tell Liu Ru that there's no need to set up a trap for that Zhang guy outside the city. Let his daughter go."
The attendant looked up in surprise. He knew this very well. The old man surnamed Zhang had offended the master. The master saw that the girl in the Zhang family was very beautiful and wanted to take her to the Fragrant Brothel. He wanted to get revenge and also give the Fragrant Brothel a fresh girl.
Therefore, they set a trap for the man surnamed Zhang, intending to make him incur gambling debts and use his daughter as collateral.
Now the master is actually planning to give up on this matter?
The servant asked in a low voice, "Master, is it because of... what Lord Lu Xiang said?"
Lu Xiangjun said that doing more good deeds would improve one's image in front of the abbot of Dongqing Temple.
To everyone's surprise, Master Miao scoffed, "Do you think I'd listen to what a little girl says? It's all nonsense."
"That……"
Master Miao lowered his head, downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, and gave a self-deprecating laugh. "Young Master Meng is right. My sister lost her life protecting me. My life is precious, so I must at least live like a human being so that she can rest in peace in the afterlife, right?"
I've already lived most of my life in a daze; I can't keep going like this for the rest of my life.
The attendant was somewhat surprised, as he had served Master Miao for most of his life.
Were the things Young Master Meng said really that rare? Not at all. To Master Miao, they were just old news; he had heard them far too many times.
A long time ago, someone said to Master Miao, "Your sister lost her life to protect you. How can you do so many evil things for her? Did she want you to do this? She only wanted you to live a peaceful and happy life."
Many people tried to persuade Master Miao to do good by talking to his sister, but Master Miao was blinded by hatred at first and didn't bother to listen.
Even after he had taken his revenge, when people still tried to advise him in this way, the master scoffed at them. He felt that these people were just empty talkers, spouting nonsense. They hadn't experienced what he had gone through and couldn't possibly empathize with him.
Anyone can spout big principles.
The master never took it to heart, nor would he listen to any advice.
But now, Meng Yunzheng, who has a similar experience to him, said the same thing, and the master listened to it.
"I'm not even as good as a young man in his early twenties." Old Master Miao suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I'm actually a little envious of him."
The attendant remained silent, quietly pouring wine for Master Miao.
Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu left the restaurant, looked back once more, and then laughed.
Once the matter was settled, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go home. We haven't been back for two days. My grandma and the others must be worried."
Shu Yu was in a good mood, but before the two of them had gone far, they saw Hu Li waiting there, waving at them.
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance. "Xiang Weinan definitely has a lot of questions. You go and talk to him. I'll go back first."
"OK."
Shu Yu nodded to Hu Li, then led Da Bai directly back to Fenghuai Street.
Unexpectedly, just as I reached the door, I saw Mrs. Liang hurrying over.
She just happened to walk in. "Ayu, you're back?"
Mrs. Liang came here to buy things around noon. It wasn't convenient to bring Bao Ya along, so she left her at the Lu family's house first. Now that she's finished shopping, she's come to pick up her daughter and have dinner with her.
