When Xiao Cunyu heard what the old lady said, he still looked indifferent.
His tone was lazy and direct: "Didn't I go to treat your illness? Didn't I already go to your yard? Seeing how full of energy you seem, I'm afraid nothing serious will happen. At most, you'll die early. Why would I need to intervene?"
She even turned a page slowly.
The old lady was too old to climb up the tree and pull the person down.
His already weak body had to keep his head held high, and his neck felt stiff and sore.
The old lady was naturally displeased, but thinking of the young man's identity, she dared not lose her temper. She could only patiently say, "I misunderstood you earlier, thinking you were a liar. Now I know I was wrong, don't I? I'm really feeling unwell. Are you going to watch me die without helping me, Mr. Xiao Qi?"
Even at this time, the old lady is still very stubborn.
Xiao Cunyu spit out the weeds in his mouth with a "Pah" sound, then turned his head indifferently, looked at the old lady below, and said with a smile: "You are uncomfortable, what does it have to do with me?"
"You!" The old lady almost jumped up and cursed.
But if this young man was just an ordinary pretty boy, she could scold him and it would be fine. But now that she knew that he had a powerful backer, she could only swallow her anger.
"It was the abbot who asked you to save me." The old lady said with a cold face.
She wanted to be humble, but years of pride made her tone very stiff, and she didn't look like she was begging for mercy at all.
"Indeed, the abbot is very busy and has no time to take care of you, so he wants to hand you over to me. However... why should I help an unruly old lady like you? It's difficult for me to say a word to such an idiot. Besides, your mother-in-law pointed at my nose and cursed at me, and even falsely accused me of having an affair with the girl in your family. Do you think I am the kind of person who repays evil with kindness?" Xiao Cunyu spoke slowly.
Every time she spoke, there was a delay, and the old lady became a little weaker.
"Then what do you want!?" the old lady was anxious.
"Me?" Xiao Cunyu thought for a moment, "Of course I have to test your sincerity."
"You want money? How much? My Duan family has no shortage of it." The old lady said gritting her teeth.
Xiao Cunyu chuckled and said, "You probably haven't inquired about the origins of my Xiao family. This young master suggests that you go back and find out more about it before considering how to speak to me."
The old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Of course she didn't know what the general was, because she knew her family was rich.
Money makes the world go round, doesn't it?
Old Madam Duan has been spoiled all her life. In the past, the families that the Duan family interacted with were all ordinary merchants. As her seniority increased, almost everyone she met had to flatter her.
Even though she knew that officials were not easy to mess with, she still couldn't control her temper.
"Can you save me?" The old lady really didn't listen.
"Of course." Xiao Cunyu said confidently, "Since you are old, I am willing to give you a chance. As long as you go back and kneel before the gods tonight, repent for all the mistakes you have made in your life, pray sincerely, and teach your confidants the etiquette of speaking, I will take action tomorrow. Of course, if you don't do as I say, I won't be able to save you."
After Xiao Cunyu finished speaking, he said impatiently, "Your body can still hold on for a few more days. You won't die for the time being, so you deserve to suffer a little. Go back and don't disturb me while I'm reading. Otherwise, even if the king of heaven comes, I won't save you."
