Madam Shen immediately pressed, "Who was it?"
Instead of giving a direct answer, Master Jingming recited a rhyming phrase, just like before.
"A wicked woman brings misfortune to her husband; even a lotus cannot grow on dry land. She will either eat at two restaurants or wash dishes at three."
Now everyone understood.
Shen Guangzong was a man, and Shen Qiyin and Shen Mengyin were not yet married, so neither of them were considered "husband-killers" or "childless".
Aunt Zhou also gave birth to a son.
The only remaining candidate is Madam Shen!
Aunt Zhou was overjoyed and deliberately raised her voice to ask, "Taoist priest, what does 'not eating at two restaurants but washing dishes at three' mean?"
Madam Shen was so angry that her eyebrows furrowed.
Just as he was about to rebuke her, he heard Master Jingming say in a bright and cheerful voice, "That means this woman will remarry, and more than once."
"Nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Master Jingming was immediately displeased and said, "Madam, there is no need to be angry. I have no grudges or enemies with you in the past or recently. I have no reason to make up stories to harm you."
"I am simply stating what I have foreseen."
"If you think my calculations are wrong, then you don't have to listen."
That's what he said, but the people in front have already witnessed his abilities, so how could they not believe him!
Madam Shen was furious.
She was absolutely right when she said she married a jinx!
"You unlucky wife! You're the one who brought bad luck to my son, sending him to prison and demoting him, all because of you!"
"Our Shen family has had the worst luck for generations to have married such a jinx as you!"
"It's bad enough that you can't give birth to a son, but you also want to ruin our family!"
...
Ignoring the presence of outsiders, Old Madam Shen launched into a tirade of curses at Madam Shen.
The latter cowered on the ground like a quail, not daring to utter a word.
After scolding for a while, Madam Shen finally asked Jingming, "May I ask, Taoist Master, do you have a way to dispel the evil spirits?"
Jingming replied, "That's natural."
"Without this diamond drill, I wouldn't dare take on this delicate task."
Madam Shen was slightly relieved and said, "Then please, Daoist, bestow upon me your divine powers."
“Hmm…” Master Jingming said in a deep voice while pinching his knuckles: “The Mourning Guest Sha is a sha that brings grief and funerals. The person is likely to suffer the pain of losing relatives and friends, or to encounter misfortune themselves.”
Before he could finish speaking, Madam Shen anxiously interrupted him: "That's utter nonsense! No one has ever died in our household!"
Master Jingming countered, "Is the old master of this mansion still alive?"
"...Even if he's not here, it couldn't be me who's bringing bad luck to him!" Madam Shen exclaimed, her expression agitated. "How could I, a daughter-in-law, possibly bring bad luck to my father-in-law?"
"If you're talking about someone who really brought bad luck to him, it's more like his mother-in-law who was cursed to death..."
As she continued speaking, her voice grew softer.
But Madam Shen still heard it and immediately flew into a rage: "How dare you!"
Aunt Zhou added fuel to the fire, saying, "Oh, how dare you even gossip about the old lady, Madam? If it were us, we would beat her to death!"
Madam Shen: "You..."
Madam Shen: "Shut up!"
At this moment, Master Jingming raised his hand and said, "Madam, please calm down."
He then looked at Madam Shen and asked, "May I ask, Madam, are your father and mother still alive?"
"this……"
Madam Shen immediately fell silent.
Seeing this, Master Jingming, looking as if he knew everything, continued, "No one in this mansion has died yet. It's not that the lady is not able to bring misfortune to them, but that the time has not yet come."
"Over time, the damage will become greater and greater."
“The young masters and ladies of the manor are now suffering one disaster after another. This is Heaven’s warning to you, Madam. If you do not dispel the evil spirits, not only will others be harmed, but you yourself may not be able to save yourself.”
He spoke with such conviction that it instilled fear in everyone who heard him.
Madam Shen still tried to make a last-ditch effort: "It's true that Guangzong and the others have had an accident, but... but they are not my biological children."
"If we're talking about who should be cursed first, shouldn't I curse my own daughter first?"
"But how come she's perfectly fine, without any problems at all?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiyin raised an eyebrow slightly.
There has probably never been a moment when my mother hoped more that she was safe and sound than now.
"Yin'er, please say something for your mother!"
"Are you just going to stand by and watch them gang up on your mother?"
Shen Qiyin: "How could that be?" She was secretly laughing to herself.
Upon hearing this, Master Jingming looked at Shen Qiyin, then suddenly began fiddling with the few remaining talismans in his hand. Finally, he took one out and showed it to Shen Qiyin, asking her, "Is this Miss's birth date and time?"
"yes."
"Are you that lady's daughter?"
"That's right."
“That’s right, that’s right…” Jingming muttered to himself.
Only when the old lady pressed him for an answer did he explain, "When I looked at her just now, I could tell that this young lady had a very strong fate. If it weren't for the suppression by her parents' palace, she would definitely be a cursed lone star!"
"But every cloud has a silver lining; otherwise, she might have been the first one to get into trouble."
"However, although he escaped a calamity, having a strong destiny is not necessarily a good thing."
Madam Shen quickly asked again, "Will that bring us bad luck?"
"Not for now." Master Jingming shook his head slightly: "But if we don't take precautions soon, I'm afraid we won't be able to live in peace in the future."
His face was solemn, and even his tone became a bit somber: "I'm afraid that only by severing ties with family and friends and entering a nunnery to live out their remaining days can the safety of the family be ensured."
Madam Shen was shocked: "What?!"
Aunt Zhou seized the opportunity to say, "Oh dear, how unfortunate are you, Madam and Miss? But for the sake of the health of the Old Madam and Master, we can only ask you two to suffer."
"Don't be so smug!" Madam Shen was furious. "You think you can rise to power just by squeezing me out of the manor?"
"I'm telling you, you little hussy, don't even dream about it!"
“You…” Madam Shen pointed at Aunt Zhou, then at Daoist Jingming: “And you! You’re all in cahoots, you conspired to harm me!”
"Madam, please be careful what you say!"
Master Jingming frowned deeply: "I have already stated that if what I say is inaccurate, I will not take a single penny."
"If you don't believe me, go to that temple and stay there for seven days to see if what I said comes true."
When Jingming said that, Madam Shen was clearly moved.
Madam Shen, unable to fight back, caught a glimpse of Shen Qiyin sitting calmly and immediately rushed to her for help, saying, "Yin'er, Yin'er, you must think of something! They're trying to harm us!"
"I can't be sent to a nunnery, I can't go..."
"You don't want to be sent to a nunnery, do you?"
