Lin Ruhai paid no heed to the noise behind him and hurriedly ordered his men to escort the injured bald-headed monk away quickly, leaving the others to his own devices.
Seeing that Lord Shen had his servants come to stop him, Lin Ruhai stopped himself, a slight smile playing on his lips. He smoothed his sleeves and glanced at Lord Shen, who was rushing over, panting.
“Lord, you know me.”
Uncle Shen choked. He knew that if there was something to do, he would call his father-in-law. Now he was being called Uncle!
Lin Ruhai, you're doing great!
"Of course I know my son-in-law, but I wonder how the world will view your behavior?"
Lin Ruhai laughed out loud, "Of course people will say I'm putting righteousness before family!"
"You!" Lord Shen frowned, knowing that this matter could not be confronted head-on, so he softened his voice, "How do you expect Ajiao to conduct herself in the future?"
"Her? You don't know her, my lord?"
Uncle Shen said, "I know, but outsiders don't."
Lin Ruhai stood with one hand behind his back, saying, "Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles; future generations will judge them."
"What are you talking about? It's just that your mother-in-law is unconscious, and the servants around her are just fooling around. You saw it yourself, that thing was meant to be burned, it has nothing to do with your mother-in-law."
Lin Ruhai: "I know, it's the Earl's intention!"
Upon hearing this, Master Shen was so angry he nearly fainted. It was more like the tricks of the inner quarters of the couple!
"I am a government official, how could I do such a thing? Besides, he's just a charlatan. I should thank Lord Lin for helping to catch him!"
Lin Ruhai: "Is that so? I heard Madam Shen admit with my own ears that she did it."
Lord Shen quickly laughed and said, "Lord Lin, you are a really bad son-in-law. Your mother-in-law has been insane for a long time and is not in her right mind. How can you believe the words of a madman?"
Lin Ruhai wasn't thinking about how this matter could affect Master Shen. Although he had witnessed it with his own eyes, it was still a bit troublesome to handle. He had already achieved his goal. "Is that so? In that case, I'll take the mad monk with me. He was swindling and cheating a while ago, and someone reported it to the authorities. This is a good opportunity to arrest him."
"Thank you very much for your help, Lord Lord. Farewell!"
Lord Shen didn't dare keep Lin Ruhai any longer. He still had some things to take care of, and how could he believe the words of that bald-headed monk, a 'madman'? He certainly wouldn't admit it.
They can just take him away and leave. At worst, they can find a chance to kill him later. He's a madman...
Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hadn't planned to go any further today, otherwise he might not have been able to leave easily.
Master Shen is a cunning man, and it's not easy to find fault with him. Now that he has this bald-headed monk in his hands, he should make good use of him.
But the most urgent matter is still resolving his wife's issue.
Lin Ruhai escorted the bald-headed monk all the way back to the Lin residence. Behind the backs of Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu, he secretly interrogated the bald-headed monk in the study.
Who are you?
"Just a monk from the foot of Qinggeng Peak."
The bald-headed monk looked at Lin Ruhai, as if he had realized something, and asked in alarm, "Your scheme is broken? How did it break? How could it break?"
Lin Ruhai was taken aback. What kind of situation was he in?
What do you know?
The bald-headed monk was taken aback. "You don't know?"
Her bound fingers twisted and turned rapidly as she looked at Lin Ruhai with a confused expression. "Is your daughter still healthy?"
Lin Ruhai was immediately displeased and said, "What are you saying!"
I never expected that after all these years, this person would still remember the time he tricked him and the story of Daiyu.
"In good health?"
Lin Ruhai retorted angrily, "You should worry about whether you'll see the sun rise tomorrow."
The bald-headed monk suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Lin Ruhai and saying, "I was wondering where the mistake was; it was you, it was you!"
"But it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!"
"You should have been in a deadly situation long ago. No, no, things have changed!"
Lin Ruhai? Who is he cursing?
Could it be that he spoke too harshly, and this person is now pretending to be crazy?
"Who is helping you defy fate! Who is it? How could I not have foreseen this? How could I not have foreseen this? This shouldn't be happening, this shouldn't be happening!"
His fingers moved incredibly fast, but he couldn't see through it, and he started to panic.
"It's a dead person, how could it be a dead person? No, no, I must have miscalculated, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this."
Upon hearing that it was a dead person, Lin Ruhai's eyes immediately turned bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, saying...
"You're talking nonsense, I'll have your mouth shut!"
"Speak! What were you doing at the Shen family's house?!"
The bald-headed monk frowned. "He takes money and does things for people."
"What do you need me for!"
"It's just an inner-world underworld ritual. The person who is cursed will gradually become depressed, plagued by illness, and will perish within three months."
Has the fragrance faded and the body perished?
Lin Ruhai's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the bald-headed monk, he began to believe half of what he said. Nothing had even happened yet, and Shen Ajiao had already lost her spirit. If this really succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Who contacted you?
"Madam Shen."
Snap!
Lin Ruhai slammed the teacup to the ground, his eyes flashing with a fierce murderous intent, followed by a faint chill at the corner of his mouth. The bald-headed monk felt a chill run down his neck from Lin Ruhai's gaze and hurriedly said, "I can help you return it."
"Of course we have to return it!"
Lin Ruhai slowly bent down and whispered a few words to the bald-headed monk.
The bald-headed monk swallowed hard and nodded under Lin Ruhai's gaze.
...
After Lin Ruhai had arranged everything, it was already late at night. He slowly walked out of the study, and the moonlight shone on the steps. As he went down the steps, a servant brought him a lantern, and he strolled around the courtyard with the lantern in his hand.
The moon was bright and clear. Lin Ruhai slowly walked out of the courtyard and stopped at a courtyard. It was quiet and deserted, but a small lamp was still left at the door. He pushed the door open and entered. The candlelight flickered. He waved to dismiss the servants who came to serve him.
I slowly sat down on the edge of the bed. The moonlight was hazy, and I became hazy too. Everything was clear, but in an instant, it seemed that I was getting further and further away from him. I reached out my hand, but I couldn't grab anything.
He wasn't unaware of what the bald-headed monk was saying; he simply didn't want to understand.
It's alright if you don't understand now.
If it's true, then who exactly is she?
Shen Ajiao slept very restlessly. It was terribly cold around her. She remembered that she had put two hot water bottles in before going to bed, so why was she still cold?
I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so I gave up and decided to get up and grab another blanket. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw someone sitting by the bed! My foot involuntarily stuck out of the blanket and kicked out.
"ah!!!!"
Lin Ruhai was lost in thought when he was suddenly screamed, followed by a kick to the waist, which made him fall to the ground. Realizing it was a misunderstanding, he quickly called out, "Madam, don't shout, it's me!"
[Dude, sitting on the edge of the bed in the middle of the night is going to scare people to death, okay?]
[What a scoundrel! Is he planning to take a third wife?]
Lin Ruhai: Hmm? My wife's wish has come true again! My wife is better!
"Master, you'll get beaten up if you keep doing this." If it weren't for her usual gentle and kind image, she really would have taken action!
"No problem, no problem."
Haha, as long as it's so good, that's all that matters.
