Chapter 248 Madam Zhu Leaves
"Ah? How could that be?"
Mrs. Zhu didn't expect this to be the result, but if she left, she wouldn't be able to stop Gu Yan from becoming the richest man in the city in the future, and she would still have to live a life of dependence on others in the future.
Mrs. Zhu was still unwilling to give up, so she waved her hand and asked the maid to put more silver indigo in front of the old monk.
Asked:
"Master, is there really no other way? I really have something important to do, so I stayed here."
Although Zhuzi's father was tempted by the huge amount of silver, he had not forgotten the task that Gu Yan had assigned to him, so he deliberately spoke calmly.
"Is your business more important, or your own life? To be honest, if you stay here any longer, you'll be plagued by resentment and your life might be in danger."
Seeing Mrs. Zhu's pale face, he said:
"I'm not the type to be greedy for money. You can take back all the money you earned as a charlatan. I won't take a single cent."
When Mrs. Zhu heard that it was free, she felt even more uncertain. However, she was still unwilling to accept it, so she asked again:
"Is there really no other way? What if I just stay a few more days? Can you give me a few more of these amulets?"
Mrs. Zhu hardened her heart. She had already made up her mind that if there was really no other way, she would have to move out. No matter how important the business method was, it was not as important as her own life.
To put it bluntly, my business strategy only works while I'm alive. Otherwise, if I die, all the money I leave behind will probably be used by my husband to marry a second wife.
But if there was a way to stay a few more days, she would be ruthless. No matter whether it was coercion or inducement, she would dig this method out of Li Wanqing's mouth.
If there was really no other way, she would have to leave. At worst, she could go to another place to do business, but it would be a pity to give up the family business she had run for so long.
But as I said, nothing is more important than your own life.
Zhuzi's father didn't understand what the man in front of him, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was thinking. He just continued according to Gu Yan's words:
"Absolutely not. The effect of this amulet is getting less and less with each passing day. It's better to leave as soon as possible."
Mrs. Zhu had no choice but to accept the amulet like a treasure.
But she did not want the silver given to the old monk, saying:
"This silver is nothing to me, just take it."
After saying that, without listening to what Zhuzi's father said, he hurriedly got on the carriage and headed home.
When she got home, she went back to the house and sat on the bed.
She asked the maid to massage her legs and leaned against the edge of the bed.
The personal maid asked.
"Madam, now that the old monk has said this, should we pack our bags and return to the capital city?"
Mrs. Zhu still had some doubts in her heart, and she said while holding the Ping An Fu in her hand.
"Don't worry, didn't the old monk say that this amulet can be used for three days? Let's see what's going on first."
Mrs. Zhu paused, still feeling uneasy, and continued:
"But you should also ask them to pack their luggage and clothes, so that if anything really happens, we can leave directly. But remember not to move too much and not disturb others."
Mrs. Zhu came to her senses and felt that everything that had happened recently was too coincidental, as if someone had deliberately set her up.
Therefore, Madam Zhu specifically asked the maid not to make any noise when she was packing her luggage, for fear that someone behind the scenes might know that her actions were not good.
But if no one instructed her, she would have really encountered such a strange thing.
That only means that Li Wanqing and the others are blessed by God, so I should just run away and not go against them.
Time flew by as she thought about this. Mrs. Zhu felt like she hadn't done anything yet, and it was already evening.
When she went to bed at night, Mrs. Zhu lay on the bed, holding the amulet given by the old monk tightly in her hand.
Although she was calm when thinking about things in the afternoon, Mrs. Zhu became a little scared again when it really got dark.
Maybe it’s because of the bad weather these days, the wind blows very hard every night.
The wind was blowing, and Mrs. Zhu felt that her heart was blown by the wind like the leaves outside.
There were still candles lit in the room, and Mrs. Zhu felt much more at ease under the red candlelight.
Suddenly, Mrs. Zhu felt that her windows were being blown violently.
But this shouldn't happen. I just moved in here, and the window paper I used is made of top-quality material. No matter how strong the wind is, it shouldn't blow so hard.
But if it wasn't the wind, then it could only be...
Mrs. Zhu didn't dare to think about it any further. She just shook her head violently, trying to drive this terrible idea out of her mind.
Mrs. Zhu curled up in the quilt for a while and felt that she couldn't go on like this.
She plucked up her courage and tiptoed to the window without wearing shoes.
Mrs. Zhu quietly poked a small hole with the hairpin on her head and looked towards the window quietly.
It was so shocking at first glance that Mrs. Zhu almost cried out.
It turned out that the mistress saw a white dress fluttering in their yard, and the little maid who was guarding outside had fallen to the ground, and it was not known whether she fell asleep or what.
Mrs. Zhu immediately thought of the white shadow she saw that day. She tightly grasped the amulet in her hand and kept her eyes open until dawn.
The next morning, as the sun rose, Mrs. Zhu hurriedly called the maids and servants to pack their luggage and prepare to set off immediately.
Mrs. Zhu looked at the newly cleaned yard with some reluctance to leave. When she moved in, she thought she would live here for a long time, so she used good materials.
Mrs. Zhu was reluctant to move away and let the yard become abandoned.
Mrs. Zhu suddenly thought of Li Wanqing and decided to sell the yard to their family.
This would not only deepen the relationship between him and Li Wanqing, which they did not already have, but would also allow him to save face if anything happened in the future.
Mrs. Zhu did it right away. She asked someone to knock on the door next door and told Li Wanqing about her difficulties.
"Sister, I won't lie to you. I used all the finest materials to build this courtyard. I even connected the two courtyards. If you really want it, I'll give it to you for five thousand taels."
Li Wanqing was tempted when she heard this. Although their current house was big enough for them, who would complain about having too many houses?
Not to mention the baby in my belly, my two older sons are growing up, so it’s time to get ready.
Besides, as a neighbor, he knew exactly how Mrs. Zhu's house was kept.
So when Mrs. Zhu mentioned it, Li Wanqing agreed immediately without much hesitation.
The two parties hit it off immediately. Li Wanqing and Mrs. Zhu went to the government office to complete the formalities that day, and then Mrs. Zhu left.
