Lord Yu asked the remaining attendants to watch Shu Yu, then he flicked his sleeves and strode inside.
The door to the courtyard was closed again, and God knows what was going on inside.
Shu Yu was a little tired from standing, so she found a stone and sat down to rest. Gee, it was a success. Now, it was all up to Lord Yu. She hoped that he would live up to her expectations.
God knows how long she had been waiting, but there was suddenly a crackling sound coming from inside.
It was followed by a woman’s cry and a man’s plea. However, the distance was too far, so Shu Yu couldn’t hear it clearly. Either way, that was about it.
The weather was a little hot, so Shu Yu moved to the side, to a shady place. When she moved for the second time, the door to the courtyard was finally opened.
Shu Yu was still sitting in the same place. She watched as the slightly flustered Lord Yu walk out with an angry expression. It seemed like he had been greatly stimulated.
He no longer had his previous suspicions and bowed deeply to Shu Yu, “Thank you for your help.”
Shu Yu put one hand on her knee and waved her other hand weakly. She said,
“You’re welcome. I didn’t do anything.”
Lord Yu l s expression was serious. He was really grateful to the Daoist nun in front of him. If it wasn’t for her, not only would he have let a scoundrel into his house, but he would have even treated the liar as a guest of honor. On top of that, he would have thrown the helve after the hatchet and raised someone else’s child, ending up giving his huge family fortune away with both hands.
Just like what the Daoist nun had said, he was only one or two days away from being beyond redemption. They were talking about the Yu family’s family business that had been accumulated over several generations. To think those two were targeting it.
Just now, when he saw his wife, whom he had respected for many years, lying in another man’s arms, he almost vomited blood.
It was simply disgusting, just nasty!
Lord Yu felt that not only was the Daoist nun capable, but she was also his savior.
He had to think of a way to make such a person stay. However, just as he was about to persuade her, he saw Shu Yu l s weak look and hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? Why do you suddenly look so listless?”
Shu Yu smiled bitterly, “I’m fine. I just suffered a backlash from revealing the heavenly secret.”
Lord Yu was stunned. That’s right, the Daoist nun had said before that if she helped him, she would suffer a backlash.
“Pu…” Shu Yu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lord Yu was shocked, “Daoist nun! Daoist nun, are you alright?”
Shu Yu wiped her mouth, “I didn’t expect the backlash this time to be a little heavy.”
Lord Yu was immediately anxious, “Is there any way to stop it? How can I resolve this?”
“As long as I do more good deeds, help the poor, old, and young, and accumulate merit, I can offset this backlash. It’s fine. I’ll rest for a while and do some good deeds, and I’ll be fine.”
Lord Yu immediately said, “Then I’ll get someone to help you back to my residence to rest. I’ll help you complete the good deeds.”
Shu Yu smiled kindly, “It’s naturally good that you can do more good deeds. The baleful aura still has some influence on you, My Lord. It will slowly dissipate if you do more good deeds on a daily basis. However, the good deeds you do will belong to you, while my backlash is mine. I have to do good deeds myself to resolve it. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
Lord Yu looked at her and didn’t think she was fine.
He paused for a moment and immediately took out two silver notes, “In that case, you must accept the money. You can use this money to do good deeds, but I don’t know if it is enough though….”
