Gao Wen did not expect Liang Zhou to bring up such private matters, but this also confirmed Liang Zhou’s words were true. So, she hurriedly asked, “Really?”
Liang Zhou nodded solemnly. “At that time, that master communicated with the unborn child. He was a boy. The master told that he blamed Mu Qing for causing him to be unable to come to this world. Hence, he was very resentful and pestered Mu Qing every day.”
Gao Wen asked anxiously, “Then, what happened?”
Liang Zhou continued to say solemnly, “The master told us that infant spirits are hardest to appease. They usually carry the strongest resentment. However, it’s not like there was no way to solve that matter. We followed the master’s instructions meticulously. What do you know? After doing as the master instructed, that night itself, Mu Qing had a good sleep.”
Gao Wen became even more interested after listening to these words.
Liang Zhou’s expression grew even more solemn as she said, “Tell me, with that, how can I not believe in these things? In any case, I’d do whatever was necessary as long as Mu Qing would get better…” Then, she laughed before she continued to say, “If you meet Mu Qing in the future, take a closer look. His condition is so much better than before. He’s very energetic now. He sleeps well at night and has a good appetite as well.”
Gao Wen could not help but ask, “Then, what about the child? Did the master exorcize him?”
Gao Wen’s imaginations ran wild at this moment.
Liang Zhou waved her hand. “How can that be? The master said that was our fate. We owed the child so we had to send him away with proper rites to end the karma that tied us together. After we appeased the child and it moved on to the afterlife, we’re able to live in peace.”
Liang Zhou did not give Gao Wen a chance to speak and continued to say, “Gao Wen, let me tell you this. Don’t dismiss this kind of thing as superstition. When we were dealing with this matter, we met another family. In the beginning, they did not believe the master and were skeptical. Unfortunately, when they finally believed, it was too late. The spirit of the child targeted their daughter. Originally, their daughter was a very obedient child, but she became very strange. She even tried to kill someone with a knife! It was as though she had gone crazy.”
Gao Wen was shocked by these words. When the shock subsided, a gloomy expression appeared on her face.
Ye Xin being admitted to a mental hospital was the biggest embarrassment of the Ye family. Liang Zhou’s words were no different from pouring salt on Gao Wen’s injuries. It reminded Gao Wen of her daughter.
Upon seeing the gloomy expression on Gao Wen’s face, Liang Zhou seemed to realize she had misspoken, and she immediately felt embarrassed.
Gao Wen forced a smile on her face and asked, “Then, where’s the master who helped you?”
When Liang Zhou saw that Gao Wen did not seem offended by her words, she seemed relieved. Then, she hurriedly said, “You can find him in an alley on East Street. It’s quite hard to find the place. You…” She suddenly trailed off and looked at Gao Wen before she tentatively asked, “Do you want to meet the master?”
Gao Wen remained silent. She had yet to make up her mind.
Liang Zhou moved closer to Gao Wen before she said in a low voice, “Gao Wen, I consider us friends. As the master would say, I think we have fate between us. Hence, I’m going to say something that might sound unpleasant.”
Gao Wen still did not say anything. She only bit her lower lip as she looked at Liang Zhou.
When Liang Zhou saw Gao Wen struggling with herself inwardly, she said, “I’ve always been fond of Ye Xin. It’s really a pity she’s unable to marry the Young Master of our family.. However, why did so many strange things happen to her? Her actions don’t seem to belong to a pampered and delicate Young Miss. To put it bluntly, don’t you think you should bring her to see the master so he can see if there’s anything wrong with her?”
