Madam Wang frowned. “I feel very uneasy.”
Master Wang closed his eyes. “It’s normal to feel uneasy. That beast can’t wait for us to die. After all, we gave birth to him. Why is he making life so hard for us?”
Madam Wang wanted to say that she was not feeling uneasy about this, but Master Wang had already closed his eyes, clearly not wanting to talk more about the matter.
Little did they know that a red figure was leaning against the roof, looking at the departing carriage with red eyes. Just now, he had also suffered a great pain. However, he endured the pain and smiled.
He had waited thousands of days and nights just for this day.
When Master Wang and Madam Wang arrived at Willow Alley, Butler Wang said ingratiatingly, “Madam, Master, they have a ferocious black dog at home.”
Master Wang flared at Butler Wang. “You useless thing, you can’t do anything properly.”
If Butler Wang didn’t mess up last time, he would not have needed to take a trip here in person. 30,000 taels was not a small sum. A small household like the Liu family definitely wouldn’t be able to stand the temptation.
Master Wang knocked on the door.
Liu Sanniang opened the door and looked at Master Wang indifferently.
Chu Yan followed her out and glanced at Master Wang with a cold expression.
Master Wang smiled. “Miss Liu, I’ve thought about it. As long as you can get rid of that ghost, I’m willing to pay 30,000 taels.”
This was three times more than what Liu Sanniang had asked for. Previously, because he was still hesitating, Liu Sanniang left without looking back. Now that he was coming in person to her, he naturally had to triple the price to show his attitude.
Madam Wang looked worried. “Master, I feel that something is wrong.”
Master Wang scolded her coldly. “What’s wrong? Shut up.”
Madam Wang looked at Liu Sanniang, and Liu Sanniang looked back at her. Madam Wang’s gaze was stern. She wanted to intimidate Liu Sanniang, but she was the one getting flustered.
Seeing that Liu Sanniang remained quiet all this while, Master Wang thought that Liu Sanniang was not satisfied with the money. He gritted his teeth and said, “Thirty-five thousand taels.”
Liu Sanniang looked away from Madam Wang finally. “Let’s go.”
Hearing that, Master Wang heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright, Miss Liu, please.”
Chu Yan drove the carriage. Liu Sanniang was about to get in when Chu Yan pulled her hand. “Sit by my side.”
Liu Sanniang glanced at Chu Yan and sat down. Did she have a choice?
‘Apparently not.’
As the new year approached, the street was a little deserted, but laughter could be heard from the houses on both sides of the path from time to time.
On the street, there was a smell of firecrackers. Red lanterns were hung at the entrance of every house, giving off a festive vibe.
At the Wang mansion.
Liu Sanniang stood outside the two stone lions and looked up at the roof. Master Wang also looked up and asked. “What’s wrong?”
Liu Sanniang shook her head without answering.
Without further ado, she walked in. Master Wang followed beside her. “Miss Liu, when the master set up the formation in the past, he said that the seal can’t be removed. Otherwise, our fortune will scatter away. You’re a master too. Can you assure us that the seal will work fine?”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Sure.”
Master Wang heaved a sigh of relief.
Madam Wang followed behind, feeling increasingly jittery.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She wanted to say her worry out loud, but she couldn’t find a chance. Was she overthinking it?
When Wang Xu heard that Liu Sanniang was coming, he immediately came over.
Master Wang brought Liu Sanniang into the main courtyard. He smiled and said, “Miss Liu, do you know what the seal is?”
Liu Sanniang glanced at Master Wang and replied serenely. “It’s a fortune seal that can bring wealth and keep one from losing money.”
Old Master Wang nodded. “Miss Liu, do you know where the seal is in this mansion?”
Liu Sanniang pointed at the bed. The seal was under the bed, and Master Wang was the one occupying the bed.
Master Wang said, impressed, “That’s right. Miss Liu is indeed a master.”
Liu Sanniang did not say anything. She was very calm. The calmer she was, the more Master Wang trusted Liu Sanniang.
Master Wang instructed loudly. “Someone, bring the axe over.”
Madam Wang finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. She said, “Have you forgotten what that master said? Removing the seal will release him.”
Master Wang smiled. “We have Miss Liu here with us. You saw what happened that day, didn’t you? Miss Liu grabbed him and he was terrified.”
Madam Wang looked at Liu Sanniang. “I have no questions about Miss Liu’s ability. I just wonder if Miss Liu is really here to help us.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Madam Wang and did not defend herself.
Master Wang frowned. The lingering pain reminded him that this matter could not be delayed, but at the same time, Madam Wang’s worry was feasible.
Master Wang rolled his eyes and said, “Miss Liu, why don’t you read our fortune? Also, swear that if you lie to us, all your cultivation will go down the drain.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Master Wang and said, “You have a long life and will live to a hundred years old.”
Master Wang was pleased. He asked, beaming with a wide smile. “Can I really live to be a hundred years old?”
Liu Sanniang nodded.
Master Wang went on. “If I can live to a hundred years old, what’s there to be afraid of?”
Madam Wang frowned. She had a feeling that Liu Sanniang was up to no good. However, on second thought, the Wang family would not collapse anytime soon. Even if Liu Sanniang went back on her word, they could still use the same method to bring back the lost wealth.
The servants brought the axe and quickly carried the bed away.
Master Wang looked at Liu Sanniang. She glanced at the floor and said, “After smashing it open, Master Wang, all you need to do is dig him out.”
Master Wang was the one who buried him. Now, he was the one who dug him out.
After the servants smashed open the wooden floor, Master Wang started digging. Soon, he touched a box.
After digging through the soil, a red wooden box was revealed.
Master Wang took it out and looked at Liu Sanniang inquiringly.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Open it.”
When Master Wang opened the box, his hand trembled and the box fell to the ground. A small body rolled to the ground and the servants gasped.
