Of course, it was enough.
Shu Yu took a glance. That was a hundred taels of silver.
Although Shu Yu did want to make the other party suffer some monetary losses, too much was not a good idea either.
Lord Yu was superstitious now, and he wanted to have a child so badly that he was desperate.
However, being in charge of such a huge family business, how could he be brainless? When he calmed down and stopped being obsessed with having a child, he might find that she had taken advantage of him. If she swindled too much from him, Lord Yu would definitely feel heartache over his loss and dig three feet deep to find her.
This amount was just right.
However, Shu Yu still declined it. After some rounds of persuasion, she finally accepted the money reluctantly.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stood up, “Since you have given me this money, you will naturally have a part of the credit when I do good deeds later. It’s getting late and you must still have many things to deal with. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Hey, wait a minute.”
How could Lord Yu let her go? This Daoist nun’s calculation was so accurate. He was still counting on her to show him how to have a child.
Lord Yu stood in front of Shu Yu, “I won’t hide it from you, Daoist nun. I have something in my heart that I would like to ask for your advice.”
Shu Yu shook her head and said with a smile, “Although I don’t know the details of what you want, it should be related to children based on the word you wrote just now. As I said just now, the karma on you lies with children. There are some things that should not be forced and you should just go with the flow.”
“Daoist nun, you mean…”
“My skills are not good enough, so I suffered a backlash from the baleful aura just now. Now, I can’t help you anymore, but I do have a few words to tell you.
There are times in life that are meant to be, and there are things in life that can be forced. Whether one has children or not is destined by the heavens.” Lord Yu was in a daze, “So I really can’t have children in this life?”
Shu Yu resisted the urge to roll her eyes. How would she know? She wasn’t a doctor.
She continued to smile, “My Lord, you don’t have to be too pessimistic. As long as you truly love children, treat them well, and don’t use underhanded methods to do things that will harm children, your fated child will naturally know that your place is a good place to go, and with that, you may increase the chances of having a child. That’s all I have to say. Farewell.”
Lord Yu wanted to stop her again, but Shu Yu suddenly clutched her chest and coughed twice in discomfort. Seeing this, he immediately retracted his hand.
This Daoist nun was obviously different from the swindler, Master Geng. She was indifferent to fame and fortune and traveled the world. It was impossible for her to stay in his residence for a long time. If he insisted, he would definitely be the one to suffer in the end.
Lord Yu wanted to ask for Shu Yu’s name and address, but Shu Yu shook her head and said, “We’ll meet again if we’re fated.”
With that, Shu Yu left. Lord Yu felt that it was a pity, but he could not stop her.
At the moment, he still had to deal with the adultery of his wife and Master Geng, as well as their plan of premeditated murder. He really couldn’t care about anything else.
Lord Yu’s face turned cold as he walked back into the courtyard.
Madame Yu and Master Geng weren’t people who could resist much pain. Under Lord Yu’s interrogation, they quickly confessed.
Only then did Lord Yu realize that many people in the residence had already been bribed by two people. Not only were the maidservants and palanquin carriers by Madame Yu’s side, but even the steward had been bribed.
The steward quickly confessed to the involvement of the Ruan Family Village’s Old Lady Ruan. Lord Yu thought of what Shu Yu had said, telling him not to do anything that would hurt children. But what had Old Lady Ruan done? Not only had she sold her granddaughter more than ten years ago, but now she still wanted to do the same evil deed..
