Chapter 9 To be a woman, you also need to be confident.
"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Sun asked in surprise.
Did the second young lady see her embarrassing behavior just now?
Zhai Rongyu ignored Madam Sun's questioning and said to Fifth Aunt, "Aunt, this fat monk of yours is no good. We need to get a new one."
"Who are you talking about!" Madam Sun was so angry that she fell backward.
She actually dared to imply that she was fat!
What rudeness!
Zhai Rongyu widened her eyes and said innocently, "I was talking about the statues on Aunt's altar... How did Madam Sun come to identify with them?"
Do you also think you're fat?
She held up her index finger and shook it: "As a woman, you also need to be confident!"
Madam Sun: ...
Looking behind her, there was indeed a fat monk enshrined on the altar...
Madam Sun choked for a moment, her expression as unpleasant as if she had swallowed a fly. Then she saw Fifth Concubine standing under the soft lamplight, dressed elegantly, looking quiet and gentle, while she herself was disheveled and unkempt.
Suddenly I was so angry!
My sister really did have bad intentions!
On the surface, they said they were helping him get into the mansion, but in reality, they were just laughing at him along with the outsiders!
She also said she had fallen out of favor?
Minister Zhai's eyes are practically glued to her; he hasn't even glanced at her once!
Minister Zhai's gaze fell on Zhai Rongyu.
Why are Rong'er and Xiao Wu standing so close together?
When did they become friends?
"Rong'er, come to your father's side."
"Oh……"
Zhai Rong obediently moved to Zhai Shangshu's side.
Just then, Steward Zhang arrived in a hurry with a group of guards.
Minister Zhai waved his hand, his expression slightly disgusted. "Throw him out of the mansion. Instruct the guards at the gate that this person is never to be allowed to enter the Minister's mansion again."
"Yes!" the guards replied.
"What are you doing? Don't come any closer! Ah..."
Madam Sun was so frightened that she took a few steps back, but she was still restrained by the guards and taken away.
Her guards felt somewhat uncomfortable when they encountered her.
What is that woman wearing? It's truly indecent.
Does she lack self-awareness?
Looking like that, how dare she try to seduce the Minister? Doesn't she feel bad for herself?
Throw it out right now!
The guards quickly dragged Madam Sun away.
A series of screams echoed through the Minister's mansion.
"what--"
Madam Sun was thrown outside the mansion gate and let out a scream.
She lay on the ground, pressing the sign on her chest that said "Nothing's Wrong," her eyes revealing a fierce glint.
You half-sister! Today's humiliation is all your fault! I will repay you a hundredfold in the future! And that second young lady...
She gritted her teeth.
You all just wait for me!
There weren't many pedestrians on the road, but those who saw her attire gathered around, whispering among themselves. Madam Sun was filled with shame and indignation; she raised her hand to cover her face, stood up, and rushed out of the crowd.
Inside the Fifth Concubine's courtyard.
Minister Zhai rubbed his temples. "Tell me, what happened?"
Fifth Concubine clutched her handkerchief, head bowed, and stammered, "Sister's actions... are all my fault... If Master wishes to blame me, I will have no complaints..."
It was indeed because she wanted to deal with her sister that she used the master.
It's only natural that the master is angry.
Zhai Rongyu pouted, "Father, this idea was mine. If you want to blame someone, then punish me as well."
Poor Fifth Aunt, she did all these things just to save her life!
[She was just following my advice and going along with Madam Sun's scheme to turn the tables on me. Father, please don't wrong an innocent person...]
Minister Zhai sighed.
It's not shameful to be used as a shield by your own daughter.
It's just a little cringeworthy.
He said calmly to his fifth aunt, "Your sister is no good. Don't associate with her anymore."
Fifth concubine was somewhat surprised, "Master, you're not blaming me anymore?"
In the past, the master would not have been so easy to talk to.
What's wrong today...?
She glanced at Zhai Rongyu; the second young lady really had a lot of influence.
Minister Zhai nodded. "Yes."
"It's getting late, you should all get some rest. I still have some reports to write, so I'll be leaving now."
"Respectfully seeing off the master."
"Respectfully seeing off Father."
After Minister Zhai left the courtyard, Fifth Concubine turned to Zhai Rongyu and said, "Thank you so much, Second Miss! I have no way to repay your life-saving grace!"
"Hey! It's no big deal~"
"Here's what I'll do. I have a jewelry shop in the south of the city. I'll give it to you, Miss, as a token of my appreciation. I hope you'll accept it."
!!!
"What shop?!"
"What kind of flooring?"
Zhai Rongyu was a little confused, wondering if she had misheard.
Fifth Aunt smiled. "A jewelry shop. If Second Miss doesn't like it..."
"I love it! Of course I love it!"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Zhai Rongyu grasped the hand of Fifth Aunt. Family, this was truly family!
Money doesn't matter; what matters is that I genuinely love jewelry.
She loves anything shiny!
I remember my senior brother complaining about her before, saying that a cultivator would care about such material things.
She was the first to disagree with this statement.
What's wrong with cultivating Taoism? Does cultivating Taoism mean you can't like money?
Building a Taoist temple doesn't cost money?
Do the fellow practitioners in the temple not need to eat?
If you like something, just like it. Why hide it or pretend to be high-minded?
In this life, we must learn to pursue our true selves and face our desires squarely.
She doesn't cultivate the path of ruthlessness.
"I'm glad you like it, Miss."
Fifth Aunt was amused by her serious demeanor and was also pleased.
Not only has the second young lady changed for the better, but she has also helped her so much. How can a mere jewelry shop compare to the life-saving grace? From now on, she should try her best to treat the second young lady even better.
Then, Fifth Aunt thought of the discarded talisman paper and asked, "Second Miss, what should we do with that talisman paper?"
Keeping it will ultimately be a hidden danger.
"Don't worry, Aunt."
Zhai Rongyu took out a talisman, and a blue light emanated from his palm. The talisman instantly turned to ashes.
Although her mental strength had only recovered to 30%, it was more than enough to deal with this level of talisman.
Inside the palace, the Three Pure Ones were meditating with their eyes closed when suddenly a sharp pain shot through their temples.
Open your eyes instantly.
The formation has been broken.
His talisman was destroyed!
Is there really such a master in this world who can destroy the talisman he drew himself?
He touched the whisk, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
……
Sun Mansion.
When Madam Sun returned to the room, she angrily swept everything off the table onto the floor.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
The maids were terrified by her ferocious appearance and hurriedly took their leave.
Madam Sun walked quickly to the couch, sat down, her heart filled with turmoil.
Suddenly, the image of Zhai Rongyu bumping into her flashed through her mind, and she was startled. She quickly took off the "nothing happened" sign to check.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, the talisman is still there.
A calculating glint flashed in Madam Sun's eyes.
Ha, so what if she's a concubine in the Minister's mansion?
He's not going to live much longer!
Once she absorbs all of that little bitch's luck, everything will be alright!
Thinking of this, Madam Sun took a dagger from the bedside, cut her finger, and dripped blood onto the "Nothing Happens" plaque. The plaque instantly emitted a faint, eerie light, illuminating Madam Sun's distorted face.
The Taoist priest once said that in order to succeed, one must feed the talisman with blood so that the evil nature of the luck-changing bracelet can be brought out.
After a while, the dim light gradually weakened and was suddenly replaced by a strong white light. Madam Sun was so blinded by the light that she could not open her eyes, and her heart suddenly felt a sharp pain!
"what!"
She clutched her chest and collapsed softly onto the bed, her face ashen.
How could this be... how could this happen?
There was no such reaction during the previous few times of bleeding...
The pain intensified, and Madam Sun gripped the plaque tightly, her body trembling like a leaf.
There was a snap.
Madam Sun opened her hands and stared blankly at her palm.
The plaque that read "Nothing Happened" was cracked!
The talisman on his back fell out and instantly turned into a wisp of smoke.
Do not!impossible!
That Taoist priest possessed boundless magical power; how could the talisman he drew himself possibly fail?!
Her eyes widened in horror, she coughed up a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
