Chapter 140 Heaven's Backlash

The next day, Yu's family split into three groups.

Brother Bo and Brother Gui went to Kangyong Street to inquire about the news.

Yu Sanbao and Yu Siyang closed the shop and went around to inquire about the Taoist priest named Huiyin.

Since Huai'er and Liu'er had shown up at the Pang Mansion before, they did not go to Kangyong Street, but went to the streets near the Pang family's main residence, where servants of the Pang family often went out to buy things, so perhaps they could get some information.

As for Li Chunhua, she returned to Nantuo Village and told her family about the matter.

At noon, the three groups of Yu family were still outside investigating, while Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu came to the county town in a hurry.

After Li Chunhua returned to Nantuo Village, she told her family about Xingxing's situation. The whole family was shocked.

The depressed Mrs. Wei got off the kang on the spot, put on her shoes, and went to the county town to ask the Pang family for an explanation.

It was Li Chunhua who quickly persuaded them, using the words that Liu Ge'er had taught her before, and told Mrs. Wei not to alarm the snakes, in case they got desperate and hurt Xingxing or something. She finally managed to persuade Mrs. Wei to stop wanting to kill those people from the Pang family.

But Mrs. Wei could not sit still. After learning that Yu Sanbao and others were already thinking of a way to rescue Xingxing, she said that she also wanted to come to the county town.

After the discussion, Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu took all the money in the family and came to the county town in case of emergency.

After Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu arrived in the county town, Shuanghe, who stayed at home, opened the door for them. The old couple waited from noon to dusk before their four grandsons and two sons returned, all covered in frost.

Huai Ge'er and Liu Ge'er were wandering around the street near the old house of the Pang family. They heard some news that the Pang family had been in a gloomy mood in the past few days, but the situation suddenly changed in the past two days.

They all walked with a breeze, looking like they had encountered something good.

Huai and Liu found out by all means possible and learned that Master Pang had encountered some good fortune and gave each of his servants an extra half month's salary.

Bo Ge'er said with a bad look on his face, "... Gui Ge'er and I were wandering around Kangyong Street today, and we ran into a manager who was out shopping from the Pang Mansion. Gui Ge'er, relying on his young age, tried to get close to the manager. He told him that the mansion had been very busy these days, and he wanted to buy some red satin and red lanterns."

Red silk ribbons and red lanterns clearly indicate a wedding is coming.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wei's old face began to tremble violently.

She really couldn't help herself and cursed at the guy named Pang for a long time.

That despicable thing kept saying at the time that we could get engaged first and then get married when the two children grew up.

Do you need red satin lanterns for engagement?!

It's obvious that she has no shame at all and wants to tie her daughter Xing Xing to death on that sickly guy!

Xingxing is only four years old!

How did that Pang guy do that?!

Mrs. Wei was gasping for breath and her eyes were red with anger!

The two sons, Yu Sanbao and Yu Siyang, were so frightened that they hurried to comfort Grandma Wei.

Mrs. Wei waved her hand and said, "I won't die! You two have been out looking for a whole day. Have you found the Taoist priest you mentioned?"

Yu Siyang shook his head, but Yu Sanbao nodded.

Mrs. Wei looked suspicious, and Yu Sanbao quickly said, "We haven't found him, but we have a clue. It seems that Huiyin went to visit a friend nearby. We found the inn where he stayed, and the innkeeper said that he seemed to have not returned for a few days, but his luggage was still in the room. Let's go check it out tomorrow."

This is good news. Mrs. Wei's mood finally calmed down a little.

"Grandma, don't worry, we will definitely rescue Xingxing." Liu Ge'er promised Wei Pozi.

Mrs. Wei was extremely worried when she thought about her precious granddaughter, who was only four years old, being abducted and married to a dying sick man.

"If it really doesn't work, we can just go to the wedding ceremony and make a scene." Huai Ge'er suggested, "We can't just watch Xingxing marry that sickly guy. Xingxing is only four years old, this is too ridiculous!"

Mrs. Wei nodded with a grim expression.

This time, even the usually calm Liu Ge'er did not object at all.

If there is really no other way at that time, this is still a solution!

After a night, early in the morning, Mrs. Wei rushed her four grandsons back to the school.

They are not needed at the moment, and as for gathering information, the old couple, Yu Sanbao and Yu Siyang can do it.

Huai'er and his friends knew that it was useless to worry. Although they knew Xingxing was in Pang's mansion, they had no way to take Xingxing away with a legitimate reason.

Yu Sanbao and Yu Siyang planned to continue to wait for Hui Yin at the inn.

Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu also planned to go out and get some information, at least to find out the date when the Pang family was going to hold the wedding.

Mrs. Wei even found a dagger from the shop and put it in her sleeve.

She really wanted to kill that guy named Pang!

Mrs. Wei walked in front with great momentum, and Old Man Yu followed behind, and the two of them walked towards Kangyong Street.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "Master Wei."

Mrs. Wei paused, and realized the voice sounded familiar. She looked around suspiciously, and saw the old Taoist priest from the nameless Taoist temple standing across the street, greeting her with a smile.

The old Taoist priest was still wearing the wide and flowing Taoist robe today. His slightly gray hair was tied into a bun at the back of his head. He still looked like an immortal.

He walked across the long street with a smile: "What a coincidence, I came to this county today to buy some things, and I ran into Mr. Wei."

The anger on Mrs. Wei's face faded a little, and she suddenly remembered something, and her expression changed again. Although she felt that the hope was a little slim, she still held on to a glimmer of hope and asked: "...Master, have you heard of Hui Yin?"

The old Taoist shook his head: "Why do you ask this question, Mr. Wei?"

When Mrs. Wei saw the old Taoist's reaction, she knew that he probably didn't know him.

But out of trust in the old Taoist priest, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but tell him about Xingxing being deceived.

After she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful: "The Taoist priest told me that there might be more to come in Xingxing's case. I didn't think of it when I met that pair of liars. I really shouldn't have done that."

When the old Taoist heard that Xingxing was deceived and taken away to be the one to relieve the disaster, he was immediately surprised.

He blurted out: "That's not right. Doesn't the other party fear the law of karma?"

Mrs. Wei was quite confused.

The old Taoist explained patiently: "I am not very proficient in fortune-telling, but I also know that if she is really a person with great fortune, then she will have her own set of retribution. Others who want to use her good fortune to ward off disasters must do so in the right way, otherwise, the way of heaven will not forgive them for using people with great fortunes in this way. Besides, some sudden misfortunes are the so-called "retribution". I heard this voice, the child suddenly got a strange disease, it really seemed like the evil spirit was possessed, but in this case, generally speaking, most of the time it is the parents who do nothing, and this "retribution" is the retribution on the child!"

Mrs. Wei was stunned when she heard this.

There was so much information in the old Taoist's words that she found it hard to digest it all at once.
