Madame Yu nodded, “Don’t worry. The old woman said that the twins are living a poor life at home. They don’t even have enough to eat. As long as they come to the Yu family, they will enjoy life. Even if it’s for the good of the two children, their family should agree.”
“That’s good. Either way, this matter has to be settled in the next few days. Any later and your stomach will be exposed.”
“The situation is already grim now. I had morning sickness for a while this morning and was almost discovered by the Lord. Fortunately, my maidservant was smart and said that I had eaten too much hawthorn. However, if I vomit again tomorrow, the Lord will probably get another doctor for me. Do help me think of a way.”
The fortune-teller frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, “The morning sickness is unpreventable and you can’t take any medicine now either. How about this, I’ll prepare some talismans for you. Tomorrow, ask your maidservant to come and get them. When Lord Yu asks, just say that I gave you the talismans and they have the effect of exorcism. As long as you adopt twins and drive out all the evil spirits around you, a child will reincarnate in your house. It’s just that this talisman will make you uncomfortable and make you dizzy and vomit, but it’s not serious. Lord Yu won’t say anything.”
Madame Yu’s eyes lit up and she smiled, “Alright, let’s do that. However, there’s no need for the maidservant to come. I’ll come tomorrow morning.” The fortune-teller smiled, “I’ll be waiting for you then.”
The two of them talked for a while more. Seeing that it was getting late, Madame Yu left the small courtyard, satisfied.
After she left, Shu Yu took advantage of the fortune-teller’s inattention and jumped over the wall again.
Outside the door, Lu Sanzhu had been waiting so long that he almost went bald. He was so anxious that he was pacing around in circles. When he saw that Shu Yu had finally come out, he heaved a sigh of relief. He hurriedly went up to her and said, “You’re finally out. When Madame Yu came out just now, I was so scared that my soul almost left my body.”
“Look at you,” Shu Yu patted the hem of her dress, and the expression on her face was more relaxed.
Lu Sanzhu didn’t dare to retort. He only asked, “What are we going to do next? ‘
“We?” Shu Yu said strangely, “It’s already so late. Why aren’t you going back?
Aren’t you worried that your wife and children are looking for you?”
Wenlan Town didn’t have any city walls, so they didn’t have to worry about the city gates closing. Even if it was late, it wouldn’t take long to get back home.
Lu Sanzhu was stunned. He did have to home.
“Alright, let’s go home first then. Erya, don’t be impulsive, Lord Yu is not someone we can offend. Let’s go back and discuss this with someone first.”
Shu Yu stopped in her tracks, “Who’s us? I’m asking you to go back. I still have things to do here. I’m leaving tomorrow.”
“You have things to do?” Lu Sanzhu’s voice became shrill.
After being glared at by Shu Yu, he quickly covered his mouth and looked left and right. Then, he asked in disbelief, “You’re not really planning to go to the Yu residence, are you?”
“Remember to feed my family’s chickens when you get back.”
At a time , she only thought of her chickens. He would go back and eat those two chickens!
Lu Sanzhu thought resentfully. He wanted to persuade Shu Yu again, but when he looked up, she was already gone.
He was shocked, “Erya, Erya?”
He looked around, but she was nowhere to be found.
Lu Sanzhu had no choice. Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, he could only return to Shangshi Village first.
On the other side, Shu Yu had already left the alley. While the shops around were still open, she went to buy some things she needed..
