Chapter 198: Two Lives In Debt
are you talking about When did I do something to shame my father and family again"Meng Jin Yao twitched the corner of her mouth, giving him a speechless glance. The most foolish man in the Gu family...On the official road, a carriage moved at a steady pace, its wheels making a rhythmic sound, and dust billowing behind it.
Mrs. Sun sat in the carriage, leaning against a soft pillow, sleeping soundly. The slight bumps of the carriage did not affect her sleep at all, which showed how exhausted she was. As long as she had nothing to do, she could fall asleep anytime, anywhere.
Grandmother Qiao glanced at Sun, then lifted the curtain of the carriage window to peer outside. Seeing the figure in the distance ahead, she lowered the curtain and prepared herself so as not to bump into it later.
Suddenly, the carriage swayed and then came to a halt.
Grandma Qiao exclaimed, “Madam!”
Sun jolted awake, her body leaning forward. She didn't manage to sit steady and crashed into the car door with a 'pa' sound, hitting her forehead in the process. The pain made her gasp.
Grandma Qiao hurriedly went to help Mrs. Sun and asked with concern, "Madam, are you alright"
Sun let out a hiss of pain, frowning and pointing at her forehead: "Head, my head hurts."
Grandma Joe glanced at her forehead and said softly, "There's no blood, Madam, don't be afraid." Then she raised her voice and questioned Chen Er, "Chen Er, what's the matter with you Why did you suddenly stop in the middle of nowhere Don't you know you've disturbed Madam If something happens to Madam, can you afford it"
Chen Er hurriedly said, "It's the carriage wheel that broke and needs to be repaired. Please, Madam and Miss Qiao, come down first."
Sun and Grandma Qiao were helpless, so they had to get out of the carriage first. The smaller ordinary carriage behind them also stopped, and two maidservants and a nanny came down and crowded forward to ask questions.
At that moment, a gray-haired, kind-faced old man with a goatee walked towards them. He wore a half-worn Taoist robe and carried a banner inscribed with the words "Divine Calculator" beneath which was a Bagua diagram.
It looks like a fortune teller.
As the fortune teller passed by, he stopped his steps and stared at Ms. Sun.
Has Sun ever been stared at so rudely by a man
Seeing this, she frowned and said in an unpleasant tone, "What are you looking at"
The fortune teller seemed to realize he had been rude and quickly withdrew his gaze, saying, "I apologize, it was my rudeness. He looked at Mrs. Sun again and said straightforwardly, "I see that this lady has a rather unique face, so I took a few more glances. Madam, you should probably have something on your mind lately."
Upon hearing this, Sun's face tightened, and she asked, "How did you figure that out"
The fortune teller replied, “Meeting you today is a matter of destiny. This old man won’t charge you for reading your fortune. I just want to ask, can you trust the people around you If you can, then this old man will tell you straight.”
Of these servants, only Qiao MaMa is someone Sun Shi can fully trust. She waved her hand, signaling the others to step back, leaving only Qiao MaMa behind, and then said: “Master, please speak.”
The fortune teller spoke frankly: “Madam, your brow is dark, and a black cloud surrounds you. There must be something unclean haunting you, and it has been with you for some time.”
Upon hearing this, Sun shi was greatly startled. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the unassuming fortune teller before her. She hadn't even uttered a word, yet he had spoken what was on her mind. It seemed he possessed some real skill.
She whispered, "Sir, do you have a way to break it"
The fortune teller said, "Madam, could you please tell me your birth date and time"
Without hesitation, Mrs. Sun told him her birth date and time.
The fortune teller calculated with his fingers, and after a long while, his face grew serious. "Madam," he said, "a debt-collecting ghost is clinging to you now. If you don't handle it properly, there may be bloodshed, and your children will suffer in the end."
Will a blood disaster also harm one's children
Sun's pupils suddenly constricted, remembering the menacing Du's concubine from last night. She had threatened to take her child's life if she didn't lose a child herself. Sun hadn't taken it to heart, thinking it was just an intangible ghost that couldn't harm her child. But now, hearing the fortune teller say this, she felt a chill run down her spine.
She hurriedly asked, "Sir, what should I do"
The fortune teller replied: “Since it’s a spirit from the underworld come to collect debts, madam should find a way to satisfy her, letting her let go of past grievances and return to the underworld, no longer bothering you. Even if we broke the
Sun's face was ambiguous. If she could satisfy Mrs. Du, would she still be pestered by her for so long She was almost at her breaking point, and Mrs. Du became even more audacious.
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Sun asked again, "Sir, could you possibly ask the Master to take her in"
The fortune teller shook his head gently: "It's difficult, ah. She harbors deep resentment. An ordinary master wouldn't be able to handle her, and even a highly skilled master would find it challenging. Furthermore, based on my reading of your wife's fate, you have more than one debt collector spirit haunting you. Another debt collector spirit will appear soon."
Sun's heart tightened: "There's another one"
The fortune teller nodded and said, “Madam owes her a life debt. She harbors too much resentment and cannot reincarnate, so she returns to seek revenge from Madam. The ghost who is now haunting Madam is because Madam owes her a life debt, which is why it's clinging to Madam.”
Debt of Life.
Debt collector.
Sun's heart murmured these five words, her figure swayed, almost collapsing to the ground. Fortunately, Qiao Mama was quick-witted and supported her, stabilizing her body before she fell.
She knew full well who the other debt collector was most likely to be.
That is Meng Dongyuan's original wife. Her former rival, Zhou Shi, died because of her.
In her lifetime, she owed four lives. One belonged to Meng Chengyu, the eldest son of Du's concubine, one to Zhou's, and the other two to Cui'er, her former maid, and Cui'er's unborn child.
Cui'er was the one who, under her orders, put medicine in Meng Chengyu's food. After Cui'er got married, she wasn't under her control anymore, so she didn't feel at ease. She sent a large amount of tonic to Cui'er, which eventually led to Cui'er having a difficult delivery and losing both herself and the child.
Cuier didn't look for her, she probably didn't discover her intentions. If she had, wouldn't she have come back to find her with a big belly
After a moment, Mrs. Sun asked, "May I ask, sir, how can I satisfy them"
The fortune teller replied, “This old man doesn't know about the origin of your relationship with them. You are the only one who knows.”
Sun Shi was silent.
The fortune teller continued, “Madam, I didn’t accept silver for the face reading earlier. After calculating your fate based on your Eight Characters, I will need to charge you.”
Sun saw that he was capable and did not want to offend him, so he asked, "How much do you charge for fortune telling"
The fortune teller said: "An old man like me divines fate with the flow of things. Today, I have the good fortune to meet you, madam. Just look at what I give you."
Sun Shi, after hearing this, gave Qiao Ma Ma a meaningful look.
Grandma Qiao immediately understood and took out a ten tael silver ingot from her purse and handed it to the fortune teller.
The fortune teller reached out and solemnly told Mrs. Sun, "Madam, you must handle this matter carefully, otherwise disaster will strike."t his body should be fine, it's just that he is unwilling to stop."Meng Jiny Yao didn't react: "What do you mean"Gu Jingxi explained, "He wasn't looking to find a legitimate wife for himself If a conc...
