Chapter 14 The Monk’s Warning
The Scabby-Headed Monk had not expected such treatment in my home. The finest tea and the most delicious vegetarian noodles in Yangzhou city.
All the household servants waited respectfully.
I held Daiyu's hand and politely asked her to greet the immortal.
The Scabby-Headed Monk looked somewhat bewildered. "How is there no illness?"
The smile on my face was a bit hard to maintain. What kind of question was that.
I had taken care to build a good physical foundation for Daiyu.
Ever since Daiyu was born, the Imperial Physician in my residence checked her pulse for safety every day.
As long as there was any sign of cold or fever, the entire household became extremely nervous.
If with such high-intensity care she could still fall ill, then my transmigration had been in vain.
"Immortal Master, she was indeed a bit frail before, but I have nourished her well. I just wonder what else needs attention so she can grow up safely and peacefully."
This Scabby-Headed Monk had come to deliver his instructions to me. I had already prepared paper and brush, waiting for him to speak.
The Scabby-Headed Monk took a long time to respond.
He reacted for a long while before finally delivering his lines.
"If the illness is to be cured, I'm afraid she must follow me and become a nun."
Become a nun?
I quickly shook my head. "Becoming a nun won't do! Besides this, is there anything else?"
Little Daiyu heard this and lowered her head to smile.
"If she does not wish to become a nun, then except for her parents, she must not see any outside relatives, and must not cry from now on. Only then can she live this life in peace."
Yes! This was the sentence I wanted to hear!
I raised my voice. "Did you all hear what the master said?"
Jia Min slightly pressed her lips. All the servants, maids, guards, and attendants outside responded in unison.
"We heard. Our young miss cannot see outside relatives and cannot cry."
"Hmm."
I nodded in satisfaction. To be honest, those outside relatives referred to the black-hearted lot from the Jia Household.
The Scabby-Headed Monk saw how obedient I was and was puzzled again.
"You really believe me?"
He asked in disbelief.
I nodded firmly. "I believe! Ruhai will strictly follow the immortal's words! Thank you, immortal. Whatever the immortal wants, just say it."
The Scabby-Headed Monk waved his hand and walked away on his own.
Outside, I saw another Taoist priest. The two whispered to each other.
"Lin Ruhai believes what I said."
"Ah? How does he believe you? Then this karmic debt is resolved just like that?"
"I don't understand. It feels a bit strange."
