"Pottery Sect Leader, it's your own fault. You're the one who's fickle in love and caused all this trouble. Who did you think you could get by abandoning your responsibilities? Besides, this doesn't seem to be my concern. It was Shen Chen who caused the trouble, isn't it? You can't possibly not know that the man who took me away that day is Mrs. Shen's son," I said with a cold snort, glancing at Mrs. Shen who looked like she wanted to kill me.
"You don't need to remind me. Of course, I know that it was you who misled Shen Family's young master and caused him to act so rebelliously. You'd better prepare to die," Pottery Sect Leader said with a sinister look. It seems that he had already communicated with Mrs. Shen. It looks like Mrs. Shen is quite persuasive, as she was able to deceive Pottery Sect Leader.
I don't know what's going on between me and Shen Chen. How could she not know? Clearly, I have nothing to do with her. It's all Shen Chen who approached me first. I am passive. But it seems that no matter how much I say, Pottery Sect Leader won't believe me. So I might as well start negotiating with him. He should care a lot about his son, and I happen to know the whereabouts of his son's true identity. This is a good bargaining chip. So I deliberately said, "Pottery Sect Leader, don't you want to know the whereabouts of your son's true identity?"
"Miss Yuan, you don't need to worry about this. Madam already knows the whereabouts of Young Master Tao. Once this matter is settled, she will personally deliver Young Master Tao to Pottery Sect Leader and let the whole family of Pottery Sect Leader reunite." Before Pottery Sect Leader could respond, Mrs. Shen interrupted, speaking to me in a cold and triumphant tone.
"Bring me to justice, I'll tell you, Mrs. Shen, this is a society ruled by law. If you let me die, you won't have it easy, and Mr. Shen won't let you off either." I tried to use words to intimidate these two crazy people, while my mind raced to see if there was any way to escape this disaster.
Haha... Do you think your death will have obvious signs of being killed? Don't worry, the Pottery Sect Leader will set up a trap in this small kitchen, trapping you and this bastard, and then let the gas pipeline naturally rupture. You will die in an accidental fire. Don't you know about magic? You're really quite stupid," Mrs. Shen said to me in a low, sinister voice.
This immediately gave me a shiver in the middle of summer. It seems that there's no room for negotiation on Mrs. Shen's side, but there is still some leeway with the Pottery Sect Leader. As long as I successfully sow distrust between the two, it will be okay. So, I put on a mysterious and mocking smile and said, "Mrs. Shen, do you really know where Young Master Tao's true identity is? You wouldn't be deceiving the Pottery Sect Leader, would you? Deception is your usual trick. Pottery Sect Leader, you are so clever, you should first watch the video of your son's true identity, otherwise, if you are deceived, you won't even know where to cry."
Sure enough, the Pottery Sect Leader, eager for his son, became suspicious as soon as he heard my words. He glanced at Mrs. Shen and said, "Mrs. Shen, Miss Yuan makes a lot of sense. The condition for my cooperation with you again is to exchange my son's true identity. But so far, I've only heard it from you verbally, and there is no real evidence to prove that my son is in your hands."
"Pottery Sect Leader, you are being misled by the demon again. She is deliberately trying to sow discord between us. Let's not be fooled. We should prioritize the overall situation."
"I didn't expect that my few words would make Pottery Sect Leader suspicious. Immediately, I nervously started to explain, hoping that Pottery Sect Leader would prioritize the bigger picture."
"What is the bigger picture? For me, being reunited with my son is the bigger picture. For this, I have repeatedly violated the sect's rules to help you. Every time, you make excuses, saying that you are close to finding my son's true identity. This time, you even claimed that you have found him. Just one last favor from me, and you will return my son to me. Now, have your men send me a video to show that you have truly found my son. Otherwise, don't blame me for not getting involved in such trivial matters anymore." Pottery Sect Leader saw that Mrs. Shen looked a bit nervous and immediately pressed on like an angry rooster.
"Pottery Sect Leader, don't you also have a grudge against this woman? Even if it's not for the sake of your son's true identity, don't you also want to kill her just as much? Now, let's set aside The Young Master's matter. Our goal is the same, to kill this jerk. Why do you have to be so stubborn about this, Pottery Sect Leader? Honestly, there's no video, but I know The Young Master's whereabouts. This is feasible. Otherwise, you'll never know your son's whereabouts." Mrs. Shen is indeed a master of intrigue, and she immediately thought of a way to stabilize Pottery Sect Leader.
After hearing Mrs. Shen's words, Pottery Sect Leader looked at me again with a look of wanting to kill me. I panicked and hurriedly said, " Pottery Sect Leader, your son is in the outer part of the Shen Family Old Mansion, but Mrs. Shen can't go in there. Only I and Little Ink can go in. If you want to reunite with your son, don't worry about this matter, leave here, and I promise taoshi will quickly go to find you."
"Don't listen to her nonsense. I, as the lady of the house, can also enter. Hurry and use your magic to kill this demon, so she won't disturb people's minds and ruin our carefully planned scheme. When the time comes, Shen Family's property will be divided, and you will receive ten percent from Mount Maoshan." Mrs. Shen became anxious when I revealed the truth about taoshi, and she immediately played her cards again.
But something seems off about her offer. Mr. Shen is still alive, and the Shen Family's property is all under the control of the old master. When did it become her turn to control it? Could she be planning something to harm Mr. Shen, take away his property, and set up a trap? Just thinking about this made me break out in a cold sweat. This is not good. Mr. Shen is not here at the moment, and I might be trapped again. It looks like I'll have to start with Pottery Sect Leader.
So I dared to say firmly, "Pottery Sect Leader, I want to remind you again, don't be deceived by her. Let me tell you the truth, your son is actually in Shen Chen's hands. You might have heard from others that there is discord between Shen Family and Mrs. Shen. Do you think Mrs. Shen has the possibility to enter the peripheral part of Master Shen's Shen Family Old Mansion? I am different, and Little Ink is even more different. Let's not talk about me, let's talk about Little Ink. He is Shen Chen's son, just recognized. This relationship is still fresh. Who do you think can help you find your son, compared to Mrs. Shen?"
"Pottery Sect Leader, don't be fooled by her. My daughter Xiao Ru went in last time, otherwise I wouldn't have known about this. So rest assured, I will let Xiao Ru go in again when the time comes. Besides, your son is now using the title of my Shen Family adopted son. How can I, as his nominal stepmother, not have the right to see my stepson?" Mrs. Shen is no pushover and immediately countered with pride.
"Mrs. Shen, what exactly is going on? You should be clearer about it than I am, right?" I deliberately didn't make it clear, as if Pottery Sect Leader hesitated, unable to judge whose words were true.
Sure enough, after Pottery hand heard this, he hesitated again. At this moment, suddenly there was a commotion outside, and Mrs. Shen immediately became furious: "What are you doing? Can't you see we're busy conducting a ritual here? Do you want to be eaten by ghosts? Why are you making a fuss?"
"Madam, something's wrong, Miss fainted." This time it was the kitchen steward who came to call Mrs. Shen. As soon as Mrs. Shen saw that it was the kitchen steward, she immediately looked incredulous and said, "Supervisor Zhang, if you're lying, you won't work for the Shen Family anymore."
"Madam, it's true. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself. Little Li, who was with Miss, ran over to tell everyone. We hurried to find you to report, and just then I saw you, so I hurried to bring you the message," Supervisor Zhang said earnestly.
"Alright, I'll go take a look. I'll leave this demon matter to you, Pottery Sect Leader," said Mrs. Shen in a hurry, not waiting for Pottery Sect Leader to respond before rushing out. This left me puzzled. Did Mrs. Shen really need to be so anxious about her adopted daughter?
After Mrs. Shen left, just as I was thinking about how to persuade Pottery Sect Leader, he suddenly smiled kindly at me and said, "Sorry, Miss Yuan, I was just acting. I had no choice. Mrs. Shen was pressuring me, using my son's true identity as leverage to force me to come and perform a spell to kill you. But you are my son's beloved, so to appease her, I deliberately said those things. Miss Yuan, you're not angry, are you?"
"No, it's just the Pottery Sect Leader. If it weren't for what just happened, how would you continue to act?" I didn't quite believe the Pottery Sect Leader, deliberately making things difficult for him, who knows if he's acting with me again for the sake of his son's true identity. The people here all seem to be very calculating, especially the head of Mount Maoshan. Without the ability to calculate and change faces, can they support a sect?
"Miss Yuan, you say you're not angry, but it's obvious that you are. Let me tell you the truth, it was my doing that her daughter fainted. I guess Mrs. Shen will come back to beg me to save her daughter's life, otherwise she might not make it to the hospital." The Pottery Sect Leader had a look of having everything under control.
"So serious, what kind of illness will be diagnosed after arriving at the hospital?" I asked in surprise.
"It's uremia, and it's the kind that urgently needs a kidney transplant. Um, the next thing that happens might be interesting. Why don't you and Little Ink go and take a look at the excitement later? Mrs. Shen won't have the energy to bother you then. You'll have good luck today," the Pottery Sect Leader said mysteriously again.
I am looking forward to this happening. Just as we were talking about it, we saw Mrs. Shen rush in looking distraught, grabbing Pottery Sect Leader's arm and pleading, "Please help my daughter survive until we reach the hospital. You can name your price."
"Alright, Mrs. Shen, since you said so, I'll go with you. But Miss Yuan has been possessed by a ghost, and I haven't figured out how to deal with her yet. What should I do?" Pottery Sect Leader said with a sinister smile, then secretly signaled me, indicating that he was helping me.
"Don't worry about whether he's a demon or not, my daughter's safety is the most important. Let Yuan Yuan this jerk live a few more days." Mrs. Shen couldn't spit out a word that sounded like a tooth from her dog mouth.
"Alright, let's go then." As soon as Pottery Sect Leader heard this, he happily followed Mrs. Shen out. Little Ink and I also followed slowly. I really want to see what happened to Shen Ru.
