Chapter 247: Fooling Mrs. Zhu
After hearing what Li Wanqing said, Mrs. Zhu looked at her with great gratitude and said:
"That may be the case. I'll pay you a visit someday. Thank you so much, Mrs. Gu."
Mrs. Zhu looked at Li Wanqing gratefully.
Li Wanqing didn't expect Mrs. Zhu to be so gullible, and she believed it without even verifying it.
Mrs. Zhu also had her own considerations. She often heard that people with wisdom were more likely to come across unclean things, and perhaps she was one of them.
Mrs. Zhu also has her own opinion on whether she has wisdom. If not, how could she always predict the future through dreams?
As for whether the place Li Wanqing mentioned is reliable, there is nothing to lose by going there. If it really works, wouldn’t you make money?
Li Wanqing and Mrs. Zhu each had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere between them was quite good for a while.
When Gu Yan came back, Li Wanqing said to him:
"I don't know how Madam Zhu grew up. She's not smart, and I don't know what she wants to do."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Yan and asked,
"Have Zhuzi and the others made arrangements? Hurry up and send the old monk from the dilapidated temple over. Madam Zhu has a rather impulsive personality, so I think she'll send someone to investigate in the next couple of days."
Gu Yan nodded.
"Everything has been arranged. It's Zhuzi's father. I asked Zhuzi to arrange everything.
I didn't tell anyone in the village, and I just said to everyone that Zhuzi's father had gone back to her parents' home with his mother."
Gu Yan looked at his pregnant wife again, and his hands began to gently massage Li Wanqing.
"You've had a really hard time carrying this baby, and you've been so busy. All I can do is massage your legs and do what I can."
Li Wanqing hugged Gu Yan and said:
"We are all working hard for our family. I am working hard, and you are working hard too.
The child will feel proud knowing that his father loves his mother so much."
It is said that men need to be coaxed. Upon hearing this, Gu Yan felt that his whole body was filled with endless energy, and he wished he could rush out and plow two acres of land.
While the two were being so affectionate, Mrs. Zhu next door was also working hard.
He ordered the servants to set up the carriage, and ordered the maids to pack up the things.
The personal maid, unaware of the situation, advised:
"Madam, why do you have to listen to Madam Gu next door on everything? You have only known each other for a short time, and what she says may not be true or trustworthy.
What if she heard your story with bad intentions and deliberately mentioned a place to make fun of you?"
After hearing what the maid said, Madam Zhu gave her a stern look and said:
"Watch your mouth and be careful with what you say and do."
The maid knew she had said too much, so she bowed and left.
Mrs. Zhu knew very well that what the maid said made some sense. She had just had a conflict with Li Wanqing a few days ago, and there was indeed a possibility as the maid said.
But now she was alone in this poor and remote countryside. Apart from believing Li Wanqing's words, she really didn't know who else to trust.
Besides, Mrs. Zhu didn't want to leave in such a disgrace. When he left, he said firmly that he would definitely find a better way to do business.
How could I be scared away by a ghost that disappeared without a trace?
Mrs. Zhu felt that she had her own dignity, and given her family property, it was not a big deal.
What if it is useful?
They left as soon as they said they would. Mrs. Zhu had many maids and servants in her house, so it only took her a few minutes to pack her luggage.
The monk who asked Li Wanqing where she was from yesterday set off today.
Zhuzi had been stalking near Madam Zhu's house. As soon as he saw Madam Zhu's carriage heading southwest, he knew that Madam Zhu was going to the temple to find the old monk, so he hurried to the farm to find Gu Yan to report.
"Brother Yan, my sister-in-law is really good at predicting things. Fortunately, I quickly asked my father to go to that dilapidated temple yesterday, otherwise this matter today would be really difficult to handle.
You said this new guy actually believed it. I should have scared him harder earlier."
Gu Yan shook his head and said:
"Just stop there, after all, she didn't do anything harmful.
If she targets your sister-in-law or Xuanxuan and the others, I will definitely show no mercy.
But given the current situation, it would be bad if someone died."
Gu Yan paused and asked again:
"Zhu Zi, have you told your father? If this Madam Zhu wants to give money, just let him keep whatever amount he is given. This is what he deserves."
Zhuzi smiled innocently again and said:
"My father knows. When I came out today, he told me that Brother Yan always took care of me and asked me to be more careful in doing things for you."
Gu Yan laughed. Zhuzi's family was an outsider family and they only had one son.
Outsiders are always bullied, let alone an outsider named Xifoil. If Gu Yan hadn't always taken Zhuzi to play with him when they were young, Zhuzi would probably have no friends in the village and no say in the matter.
Although Gu Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, it always made him happy to know that someone was thinking about him.
The mountain road was so rugged that even ordinary hunters would find it difficult to walk, let alone a pampered lady like Madam Zhu.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Mrs. Zhu heard the maid's report:
"Madam, there is actually a dilapidated temple ahead."
It actually existed. Mrs. Zhu had already given up hope after walking for such a long time.
Unexpectedly, Li Wanqing did not lie to him. When he arrived in front of the dilapidated temple, he got off the carriage and saw that there was indeed an old monk inside.
Mrs. Zhu was even more certain that the old monk was a great master.
"Sir, this dilapidated temple is not a place for a noble like you to come. Go back quickly."
After saying this, Zhuzi's father pretended to recite a Buddhist name.
"I see there's some resentment between your brows. Have you been infected with something unclean lately that keeps you awake at night?"
Seeing that Mrs. Zhu was standing still, Zhuzi's father continued speaking according to Gu Yan's instructions.
Seeing that the old monk described her situation exactly, Mrs. Zhu became even more convinced that he could solve her problem.
Mrs. Zhu waved her hand and asked the maid to put ten taels of silver in front of the old monk.
"Senior, as long as you can help me solve my current predicament, money is not a problem."
When Zhuzi's father saw the silver, he was secretly shocked. This was really rich, but he still pretended to be an otherworldly expert and said.
“Since we’ve met, I’ll just take my own business.
You are incompatible with this place. If I send this evil spirit away, you will attract more.
How about this, I'll give you a blessing of peace for just three days, and if you leave this place quickly within those three days, nothing will happen to you."
