Chapter 328 He Wants to Reveal the Truth
"I said I would help you, and I will help you to the end."
Yun Qingqing said seriously.
"Really!" Mr. Zhuang said excitedly.
"But I said I won't help you to die, and this matter doesn't need to be exchanged for your life."
Zhuang Qinghong stood up suddenly and was about to kneel down to her:
"As long as you can save my family's descendants, you will be my family's reborn parents. Please accept my greetings!"
"Master Zhuang, you don't have to do this."
Yun Qingqing raised her hand and gently supported him, and he could no longer bow.
"You have compiled and revised countless books in your life, many of which are rare and of great benefit to the people and the country. Your contribution will be passed down through the ages. I can help you through this disaster and it is a fate that we have with you."
Zhuang Qinghong was slightly stunned. He seemed to have not mentioned his current identity just now...
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly:
"I just calculated it when I was calculating the horoscope. Mr. Zhuang should be appointed as the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion. Congratulations."
Zhuang Qinghong's heart was shaken again. He had just received the order to be promoted to the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, and had not yet made it public.
This Qingyun Master is indeed a divine fortune teller! It seems that this time, the banker is really saved!
"Please lead the way to your house, Mr. Zhuang." Yun Qingqing said, "I will go and meet that thing that pretends to be a ghost and deceives your luck!"
There were still a large number of customers queuing up to draw lots on the first floor of Tianming Pavilion. Yun Qingqing asked Zhiluo to stay here to avoid any trouble, and she went to Mr. Zhuang's house with him.
The Zhuang Mansion was a three-story house. Yun Qingqing frowned as soon as she entered the door and pointed directly in the direction of the back garden and said:
"Go over there and take a look."
The two men walked towards the back garden and met a few younger generations who came to greet them along the way. Mr. Zhuang just waved his hand and told them not to disturb him.
After turning a small path, the view ahead suddenly opens up to a garden with a medium-sized pond in the middle.
A little girl, about seven or eight years old, was squatting on the far shore, playing something.
Perhaps she noticed the movement out of the corner of her eye. The little girl looked up and saw the two of them. She stood up, smiled innocently, and waved over here.
"Great grandfather~!"
The girl's crisp voice came across the water, and Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but smile kindly.
However, in the blink of an eye, the little girl somehow slipped and the two of them watched her fall into the pond with a plop.
“Ah Miao!” Boss Zhuang was horrified and ran over there in panic, shouting, “Help! Ah Miao fell into the water, help quickly!”
Yun Qingqing caught up with him in a few strides and stopped him:
"Don't panic, take a closer look, the child is fine!"
As she spoke she glanced thoughtfully toward the pond.
After she reminded him, Mr. Zhuang realized that the little girl had already grabbed a big rock on the shore and was climbing up with all her might.
He was still extremely worried and hurried to the shore. He saw that the girl had climbed ashore by herself, sat on the ground, wiping the water off her face, and smiled embarrassedly with her tongue sticking out. Only then did he finally feel relieved.
Many people from the Zhuang Mansion had heard the noise and rushed over.
"Oh my! What happened to Ah Miao? Didn't I tell you kids to be careful when playing near the water? What if you get your clothes wet and catch a cold?"
The first person to arrive was Zhuang Qinghong's eldest grandson's wife, Chen, who quickly asked the servants to bring a blanket.
Ah Miao laughed:
"It's okay, auntie, I'm not cold at all...A-choo!"
As she spoke, she sneezed.
Chen glared at her, pulled her over, wrapped her tightly in a blanket, and handed her over to the child's biological mother, Dong, the third daughter-in-law of the second wife's family, who had just arrived.
"You too, I've warned you not to slip around the pond. It's not the first time that a child in our yard has fallen into the water. Why are you letting the child play here by himself? Hurry up and take the child to change clothes and drink some ginger soup to warm up his body. Don't do this again in the future, okay?"
Mrs. Dong quickly agreed and left with A Miao.
"Isn't this the first time?" Mr. Zhuang looked unhappy and said in a deep voice, "Knowing that the area around the pond is dangerous, why didn't you fence it off carefully? Just give a few warnings and that's it?"
"Ah, this..." Chen seemed to have not expected that the usually gentle old man would get so angry, and was speechless for a moment.
"Go call your mother over. I want to ask her how she manages the household!"
Chen was startled, and looked at Mr. Zhuang cautiously and said:
"Grandpa, we can't blame mother. You said at the beginning that it would be weird to fence off our small pond... Besides, the water in the pond is very shallow, and the kids might have fallen in because they were playing around, but the water didn't even reach their waists..."
After she said this, Zhuang Qinghong remembered that when the mansion was built, it was indeed he who did not allow the fence to be built in order not to destroy the scenery. He was speechless for a moment.
But he thought again and frowned again:
"The water in this pool only reaches the baby's waist? Who said that?"
He watched the pond being dug. Although it wasn't deep, a small kid would lose his neck if he fell into it! How could it not be dangerous?
Especially when he thought about the existence of something secretly trying to take away the luck of his descendants, he felt even more uneasy.
Chen looked towards the pond:
"That's right. Ah Jin also fell in once when he was five or six years old. I saw him standing two steps away from the shore and he walked over and climbed ashore by himself."
Ajin is Chen's second son.
Mr. Zhuang rubbed his temples with a headache:
"How come I have never heard of these things?"
"Hey, Grandpa..." Mr. Zhuang's eldest son and grandson came over, listened to the general situation, touched the back of his head and said, "We didn't tell you because we didn't want you to think about what happened five years ago and worry about it. After all, these are small things, and there has never been any real danger. It's completely different from that time."
"Five years ago..." Mr. Zhuang's eyes dimmed and he didn't know what to say.
Chen said in a gentle voice:
"In fact, everyone could see that grandpa was worried about the younger generation, so we didn't mention any trivial matters later, so as not to make grandpa worry."
The old man sighed and was speechless, but he felt more and more guilty in his heart.
Yun Qingqing reminded in a low voice:
"Mr. Zhuang, I can catch the monster right now and help you cancel the contract. Do I need to send the others away first?"
Zhuang Qinghong was silent for a moment and asked:
"Master, are you really sure about this?"
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"It's absolutely safe."
"In that case, there is no need to carry this on the back of the younger generations."
Zhuang Qinghong bowed to her solemnly, then turned to his eldest grandson and said:
"Go and call everyone in the mansion. I have something to tell you."
The eldest grandson agreed and left.
Yun Qingqing was a little surprised, but she quickly understood and couldn't help but admire the old man.
She knew that the contract would cause the younger generation of the Zhuang family to bear a luck debt, which was the most difficult thing to talk about for a great scholar like Zhuang Qinghong, so she reminded him to send other people away first.
But it was obvious that he had no intention of hiding the truth any longer and was ready to make it public, even if his descendants would resent him for it.
Soon, except for those who were not at home at the moment, everyone from each courtyard arrived. They stood in front of Mr. Zhuang respectfully, all of them curious about what big news the old man suddenly wanted to announce.
