Lu Ze pulled Yu Yao behind him, his gaze towards Su Ya turning cold.
"Why is Third Sister-in-law barking here instead of guarding Yunqi at the clinic?"
He was tall with sharp eyes; just one glance from him exuded an aura of authority.
Yu Yao looked at him in surprise.
Did you hear me right? Lu Ze just swore?
Lu Ze always gave her the impression of being a gentleman. Although he wasn't overtly affectionate, he was always very polite. Yu Yao had thought he wouldn't swear, so hearing him swear out of the blue was quite a surprise.
Her marriage to Lu Ze was based on mutual benefit, and there was no romantic love involved.
Lu Ze didn't need to defend himself like that at all, but he did it anyway, and Yu Yao was still very touched.
Su Ya had always been a little intimidated by her young brother-in-law, who held a high position despite his young age. When she heard him cursing, her face turned pale.
Even if she disliked Yu Yao in her heart, she had to admit that Yu Yao was no longer a country bumpkin who could be neglected at will, but her future sister-in-law.
Lu Ze's wife.
"Lu Ze, I misspoke just now," Su Ya forced a smile and looked at Yu Yao, changing her words again.
“Yu Yao, you are Yun Qi’s aunt, so you’ll definitely be willing to save him, right? Come with me to the clinic.”
Yu Yao's attitude was indifferent; she wouldn't come to the temple without a reason. Su Ya's words were clearly a trap; did she think she was stupid?
"Lu Yunqi is mentally ill. If you want to save him, go find a doctor. What's the use of coming to me?"
Su Ya's face stiffened; it sounded exactly like an insult.
But since she needed his help, she had to suppress her anger. "Auntie, what are you saying? You have to go there to resolve this matter. Please, for the sake of the Lu family, come with me."
Yu Yao wouldn't leave unless she explained things clearly.
Grandpa Lu spoke directly: "Su Ya, what exactly do you want with Yu Yatou?"
Su Ya choked, "This..."
She dared not speak up, for the old man would surely be furious. But judging from the current situation, it was even more impossible to take Yu Yao away without speaking up.
Having no other choice, Suya had to tell them.
Upon hearing that Yu Yao was to kneel down and kowtow in apology, the master exploded and slammed his hand on the table.
"Absurd, utterly absurd! Suya, you're supposed to be a teacher, yet you're engaging in such feudal superstitions. I'm utterly disappointed in you. I will never agree to this."
Yu Yao sneered, knowing that Su Ya was up to no good.
Making her kneel and kowtow? That's a really audacious idea.
"Dad, let Yu Yao go. It's just kneeling and kowtowing; Yu Yao won't lose anything, will she?"
Old Master Lu: "Listen to the nonsense you're spouting! You think you can kneel and kowtow to me just because I haven't suffered any loss?"
"Dad, you're so biased, so biased towards my brother-in-law, so biased towards Yu Yao. The reason Yun Qi is still lying in the clinic, unconscious, is all because of her!"
With red eyes, Su Ya angrily pointed at Yu Yao: "If you hadn't offended the human traffickers, Yun Qi wouldn't have been arrested. You are the culprit the fortune teller was talking about, and you should kneel down and kowtow to apologize to Yun Qi!"
"Stubborn to the end! Stubborn to the end!"
Old Master Lu was so angry that he was breathing rapidly. Seeing that things were not going well, Hu Lingyu quickly took out the medicine prescribed by the military doctor and fed it to Lu Yunhui.
Yu Yao and Lu Ze helped the old man sit down in a chair to rest.
"Grandpa Lu, are you feeling better?" Yu Yao asked with concern.
Grandpa Lu waved his hand, looking at Yu Yao with gentle eyes: "Yu girl, don't worry. Grandpa Lu assures you, no one in the Lu family can force you to do anything. This matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to care about her words."
Hu Lingyu also said, "Your Grandpa Lu is right."
Yu Yao's nose tingled with emotion.
She used to live alone; her parents died when she was very young. Her uncle took over her family's house, which was being demolished, and brought her to live with him.
Living under someone else's roof was not easy; she always took the blame when the children made mistakes. No elder had ever cared for her or stood by her side like Grandpa Lu and his wife.
Whether it was Lu Ze or his grandparents, they treated her so well.
It feels so good to have someone protecting you!
Seeing that the old man was alright, Yu Yao got up and walked over to Su Ya.
Su Ya felt her gaze fixed on her and instinctively stepped back.
Yu Yao looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "Will Lu Yunqi wake up as long as the culprit kneels down and kowtows?"
"That's what the sorceress said."
What kind of fortune teller? It's just that Su Ya is too caught up in the situation to see clearly. She wouldn't believe it if Mu Hehe wasn't involved.
Since Mu Hehe wants people to kneel and kowtow so badly, let her experience it for herself.
Yu Yao's lips curled into a smile, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes. "I'm asking you, the reason Lu Yunqi was injured was entirely because he went up the mountain, wasn't it?"
Su Ya didn't know what she was really thinking. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
“If you don’t want to answer, I can answer for you. If he hadn’t gone up the mountain, he wouldn’t have been caught by human traffickers, and he wouldn’t have fallen into a coma. None of the subsequent events would have implicated him.”
So the real culprit should be the person who sent him up the mountain. What do you think?
Su Ya's expression changed, and her eyes darted around.
That seems to make sense.
Yu Yao continued, "You've lingered here for so long, the ghost will be angry. I don't know if Lu Yunqi will wake up then. If I were you, I would make the culprit kneel and kowtow to it for three days and three nights until Lu Yunqi wakes up."
Upon hearing that ghosts could get angry, Su Ya was startled and quickly turned around to rush to the hospital.
Yu Yao turned around and said to Grandpa Lu and Grandma Hu, "Grandpa Lu and Grandma Hu, you two rest well. I'll go to the hospital with you."
Lu Ze followed, "I'll go with you."
Yu Yao nodded.
The clinic was neither too far nor too close to the guesthouse. Yu Yao and Lu Ze both had long legs, so they followed Su Ya to the ward not long after she returned.
Inside, Su Ya and Mu Hehe were having a heated argument.
Mu Hehe's smile looked somewhat forced, but she quickly regained her composure.
She didn't understand how Su Ya's trip had turned into her having to kneel and kowtow when she came back.
They have to kneel and kowtow for three days and three nights, until Lu Yunqi wakes up?
With her kneeling like that, do you think she'll survive?
If Lu Yunqi hadn't woken up, would Su Ya have considered her a jinx? Would she still have been able to marry into the Lu family and enjoy wealth and luxury then?
Su Ya was already obsessed. No matter how Mu Hehe explained, she was convinced that the culprit was her, as the sorceress had said.
If she doesn't kneel now, and something really happens to Lu Yunqi later, Su Ya will definitely not let her off the hook.
Mu Hehe could only grit her teeth and agree.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful that Su Ya had found a private ward for Lu Yunqi, so no outsiders could see her disheveled state.
Just as she was about to kneel down, she heard Yu Yao's voice from behind her.
"You can't kneel like that."
Mu Hehe: How I kneel is none of your business.
“How can it be nothing?” Yu Yao looked at Su Ya. “You two were performing shamanistic rituals and apologizing. Even the ghost knows. You took so long just now. If I were a ghost, I would definitely be angry. This kind of soft kneeling is not enough. You have to kneel and kowtow hard to show sincerity.”
