Liu Dalang turned to look at Tang An with a smile. “Someone knocked at the wrong door.”
Liu Dalang did not like people who spoke sarcastically. If he did not know how to converse properly, he would have to learn it before coming.
Liu Dalang held Tang An’s hand. “Are you tired? Do you want some fruit juice? Take a rest.”
Tang An nodded. “Okay.”
Butler Wang was left to stand outside the door with a stiff smile. He had said that out of goodwill, but it wasn’t appreciated. Of course, he was in a bad mood.
However, he came with a purpose. He could not bear the consequences of angering the Liu family.
Butler Wang took a deep breath and put on a friendly smile before knocking on the door again.
Liu Erlang was about to go out for a walk with General Black. He opened the door and looked at Butler Wang indifferently. “Who are you looking for?”
Butler Wang smiled. “I’m looking for Miss Liu. Please tell her that the Wang family is willing to pay thirty thousand taels for her help.”
Butler Wang snorted. Such a small family would probably not be able to earn 30,000 taels in their lifetime. They really brought up a good daughter who could bring them prosperity.
Liu Erlang frowned. “Move aside, or I’ll get the dog to bite you.”
General Black squeezed out his head and pricked up his ears. He looked extremely ferocious. He was not full-grown yet, but he was already the size of an ordinary full-grown dog. He was lean and strong, looking especially frightening.
Butler Wang immediately took a few steps back.
Liu Erlang led General Black out and closed the door.
Madam Wei’s voice came from inside. “Who is it?”
Butler Wang was delighted. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Erlang shouted. “Someone knocked on the wrong door.”
Liu Erlang bent down and acted like he was going to untie General Black.
He muttered to himself as if no one was around. “If I untie you, you can definitely bite someone to death, am I right?”
General Black seemed to understand what Liu Erlang was saying and snarled at Butler Wang.
Butler Wang cursed under his breath and quickly turned to leave.
He originally thought that as long as he mentioned 30,000 taels, he would be received with respect by the Liu family.
Unexpectedly, not only did the Liu family not invite him in, but they even wanted to unleash a dog to bite him.
The black dog looked fierce and ready to fight. Butler Wang felt that if he didn’t leave now, he would really be bitten by the dog.
When Butler Wang returned to the mansion to report, he deliberately spoke poorly of the Liu family, describing them as arrogant and condescending.
Master Wang and Madam Wang frowned.
Butler Wang looked at his masters and said with a fake smile, “Master, Madam, I think Liu Sanniang is not the only one who is capable. She doesn’t know what’s good for her. It’s not like Master and Madam don’t want to give her money, but she makes it seem like the Wang family owes her something.”
Master Wang and Madam Wang were naturally dissatisfied.
The butler was right. Liu Sanniang was not the only psychic around. They could hire someone else.
In Yong County, there were many priests and witches who got paid to do things.
However, as soon as those who were invited by the Wang family stepped over the threshold, they fell to the ground. If they were unlucky, they would hit a rock that came out of nowhere and had their teeth knocked out. If they were lucky, they would just fall and be slightly injured. These people were not stupid. They knew they couldn’t go further in from the threshold and immediately turned to run away in embarrassment.
They liked money, but they liked their lives more.
If they insisted on going into the mansion, what awaited them wouldn’t just be falling to the ground.
Only then did Master Wang and Madam Wang realize that not everyone was capable of doing what Liu Sanniang could.
Wang Xu was a little troubled. He broke down, sobbing, “Dad, Mom, why are you still waiting? Are you going to wait until we die?”
Wang Xu wrapped his head in his hands and cried, “That thing lies on my bed every night. I’m almost driven crazy.”
Master Wang picked up a piece of food and was about to eat when he felt a force push his chopsticks. He was shocked and the chopsticks were stabbed into his throat. If he didn’t respond quickly enough, he would have died.
Madam Wang was also frightened. “Master, Master.”
Wang Xu widened his eyes. “See? He’s getting more and more impudent. He wants revenge. He’ll kill us.”
Master Wang touched his chest with lingering fear. There was blood in his mouth. The chopsticks had only poked his upper jaw. This was enough to scare him out of his wits.
“I’m worried…”
Madam Wang was scared that once they dug him out, the Wang family would really be wiped out.
She was frightened awake several times in the middle of the night. She dreamed that she was starving and didn’t have enough clothes to keep herself warm in the freezing winter.
Although she was frightened constantly now, at least she was still rich.
Master Wang, who had just been scared out of his wits, gritted his teeth and said, “Go and get her to come. We’ll pay her 30,000 taels. I don’t believe she will turn down this much money.”
Wang Xu echoed. “Father, Mother, go personally. I’ve asked around. Liu Sanniang also works for the county government. Think about it, even Wei Shilai seeks help from her, so she’s definitely more capable than anyone else.”
Master Wang thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, get ready. We’ll go and invite her now. If we don’t settle this matter, I won’t be able to live in peace.”
This time, he almost died from using chopsticks. What about next time? Would he choke to death just by drinking water?
If he died, he wouldn’t get to enjoy all this wealth.
Madam Wang nodded and the two of them quickly left.
When Master Wang got into the carriage, he tripped over again. His face was cold as he urged his wife. “Hurry up.”
Madam Wang quickly got into the carriage. She kept feeling that someone was looking at her. Before entering the carriage, she couldn’t help but look back at the door. Before she could look, Master Wang shouted impatiently. “Go quickly. We should’ve asked her for help a few days ago.”
