Chapter 117: Slippage
"oh?"
Although Lao Chang had already turned this around a hundred times in his mind, he did not respond at this moment. Instead, he threw the topic back, "Master, what do you mean by that?"
Minghui sighed deeply, but didn't give Lao Chang an answer immediately. She stood up and walked a few steps into the inner hall. "Please move aside, benefactor."
The inner hall was not big, and the smell of sandalwood was stronger. Old Chang rubbed his nose several times as soon as he walked in.
"This is the ruler of the Rain Country, Snake Lady."
Hearing Minghui, Lao Chang even suppressed the sneeze that was about to come out and looked up at the portrait enshrined in the inner hall.
His skin is dark, he holds a snake in each hand, and wears a green snake and a red snake in his left and right ears respectively.
It is indeed the image of the King of the Rain Country.
But……
Although Shi Yu never said it explicitly, they have lived together for such a long time. Even if Lao Chang didn't really ask, how could he really not know who she is?
This is Shi Yu!
The King of the Rain Country, the Dharma image of the Rain Master’s concubine!
Previously in a live broadcast, Shi Yu had issued an order from the king to the underworld. If he was not the king of the Rain Kingdom, how could he make the ghosts in the underworld obey him so well? From then on, Lao Chang already knew most of Shi Yu's identity.
Lao Chang's heart was in turmoil. He had never thought that he would see Shi Yu's true self under such circumstances.
Even if it's just a portrait, it's a big deal!
But no matter what he thought in his heart, Lao Chang did not show it on his face. Instead, he frowned with some disgust, "Who is this?"
"I only know a little bit about Buddhist culture, but how come I didn't know there was such a Bodhisattva?"
Minghui didn't look at Lao Chang. Ever since he entered the inner hall, his eyes hadn't left the portrait. Even when he spoke, his tone was filled with endless respect. "Donor, you are wrong. This is not a Bodhisattva."
"This is God, the God of Heaven!"
"Anyway, that's what the master said. You once gave him a divine decree in a dream, saying that the Yin family must not give birth to any new children after a certain year. So, regardless of whether this child was born in the concubine's womb, it should never be born, otherwise it will cause chaos in the world."
"I checked the time," Old Chang said carefully. "If nothing unexpected happens, the war will break out the month this child is born."
When Lao Chang said this, Shi Yu was completely confused. She certainly knew what war Lao Chang was talking about. The problem now was that she was worried about the fact that she had once received divine decree.
No impression at all!
Shi Yu's face darkened, "I didn't do it. This matter has nothing to do with me!"
"So, was the child born in the end?"
Old Chang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Master, you're too anxious. With my status, I'm afraid I won't even be able to live to see that child born."
Yes, the Young Master Liu, played by Lao Chang, only had a few days left to live, and Huazhi was forced to be buried with him.
They didn't know what happened next.
But thinking back, after the death of Master Xiaoliu, the eldest wife would have paid more and more attention to the child. With Master Yin watching over them, it would not be easy to kill the child.
So, the child was born...
"Master Chef, could this really be possible?" Old Chang hesitated, but still expressed his concerns. "That war affected the future of several countries, and it really was all because of a child."
Shi Yu didn't even think about it and just said, "Bullshit."
"That's a battle of national destiny. My personal destiny is nothing compared to it. How can it be easily influenced by a child?" Shi Yu rolled his eyes angrily, "Otherwise, I'll say that the so-called 'divine will' was not issued by me."
"Although I don't remember many things from the past, I definitely wouldn't have said something this stupid."
I don't know what I said, but I'm pretty sure I didn't say anything.
Lao Chang was convinced by this reason.
"So what about us now?"
"Kill that kid!"
"Ah?" Seeing Shi Yu say this calmly, Lao Chang was a little confused for a moment. After a long while, he spoke again, "No, why are you going to kill him again? Didn't you say it had nothing to do with that child?"
"I know."
Shi Yu sighed and explained, "I know that being born in your generation, you'd still be a little resistant to this kind of thing. Maybe you think, after all, you're just a child or something."
"But Lao Chang, you need to be more sober and understand that everything we are experiencing now has already happened. What has happened cannot be changed. Do you understand what I mean?"
That child is dead. Whether he was ever born or not, he no longer exists to people today.
It was impossible for Shi Yu to feel any psychological burden about such a thing.
Old Chang understood this truth, but after a long while, he still couldn't say anything that would convince himself or Shi Yu. He could only murmur softly, "He's just a child, after all, just a child."
"Not only is he a child, but he's also a boy." Shi Yu looked at Lao Chang, "Because he's important enough, killing him will achieve the best results."
"Don't you know what the ending will be if you continue to play your current role step by step?"
Lao Chang’s face turned pale for a moment.
Of course he didn't want to die. His son was still waiting for him, and he didn't know how anxious he must be.
That tiny bit of compassion was not enough to make him die.
Lao Chang nodded, and he had to do this matter personally.
Given Lao Chang's current identity as Master Liu, it would be very easy for him to kill a fetus that hasn't even formed yet, as long as he doesn't worry about being discovered.
That evening, the courtyard of the main house became bustling with activity. Basin after basin of blood was carried out of the house, and the maids walked hurriedly, each with a nervous look on their faces.
Occasionally, the two would collide with each other, and blood would spill all over the ground, but the master wouldn't even glance at them.
Master Yin's face was gloomy, and he looked at the servants in the yard with eyes full of anger. "What on earth is going on? How could a healthy person miscarry? How on earth did you take care of her?"
"I think it's because the people below aren't taking good care of them. It would be better to send them away early and replace them with some smarter ones."
The person who was speaking was another concubine in the eldest house. She gave birth to a daughter for the eldest master. Although she was not favored, she was able to live a decent life thanks to her daughter and had the confidence to speak with confidence.
Although the two concubines did not get along with each other on weekdays, they were both concubines. Seeing the other concubine's current appearance, they could not help but feel sad for her and fear that similar things would happen to them in the future.
But for the servants, those who were able to serve the concubine during her pregnancy had their death contracts held by their masters. If they were really sent away, it would not be as simple as finding another place to work!
