Chapter 580 Heart of snake.
Su Wan did not pay any heed to what happened with Ji Shan, she was used to people trying to snatch what was hers, when she was young, Su Lan would always act cute with her father, she would always take this and that from the money that was left with her father and when it came to her turn to ask something from her father even if it was fees for her school, Su Lan would often glare at her in an offended way like she has asked for the property to be named after her.
And that wasn't all, she has lost count of how many times Su Lan would faint or fall sick when it was her birthday because of her 'sickness' the birthday party that her father arranged would be held back and then Su Wan had to spend the day alone with no one to celebrate her birthday.
Even though she was at a young age the lesson that what was hers will only belong to her and what didn't belong to her will never be hers was thoroughly embedded in her mind. If the old madam Shen wanted to dote on Ji Shan then she wouldn't say a thing about it, after all, she has nothing to lose here, she was strong and capable enough!
She asked to the resting area of the old master and pushed the bead curtain aside, however, as soon as her gaze fell on the master who was resting behind the bead curtain, her mouth dropped open. "It's you?"
The old master that was so highly sought out was actually the old man that she has met at the temple last time when she was trying to look for a way to help Lin Yan. What was he doing here? Wasn't he the grand master of that temple? How did he become the most sought master who was even respected by the Emperor?
" Me, you look surprised little girl." said the old master as he picked up a piece of cleanly cut apple and took a bite. "It has been a long time, take a seat."
Su Wan was indeed shocked, so shocked that she took a seat without thinking it was only a few minutes later that her mouth snapped close and she looked at the old master in disbelief. " I thought…I thought that you were the grand master of that temple…. But you are….not?"
" An easy mistake to make," said the old master calmly as he pushed himself to sit upright and chugged down a good gulp of wine. " I never said that I was the grand master, you just took it for granted that I was…. You weren't wrong though, that temple belongs to my disciple in a way or two, it does make the master of that temple as well, not a big mistake." Then he wiped his mouth with a cloth napkin and looked at Su Wan's belly and smiled sweetly, " Ah, that's one good fellow, I bet you will have your hands full real soon."
" I will?" asked Su Wan as she followed the gaze of the old master and caressed her belly. " Can you tell me whether my child will be healthy and safe?"
This was the one thing that she was worried about the most, she wasn't worried about the gender but the health of her child. She didn't want anything else than this.
" There are some complications but you can avoid them as long as you avoid that girl," said the old master and Su Wan already understood which girl he was talking about, her eyes flashed and she looked at him straight. " She is going to be a threat to me."
"Ina way or another, you should be careful though," was the only thing that he said in response as her face scrunched with worrying, he smiled and added, " But your child will be saved, it's stubborn and healthy as you can see, the child wouldn't leave you that easily. It's here to make you suffer, well all children are born to make their parents suffer, after all, they aren't called debt collectors for nothing."
Su Wan nodded, though she was relieved to hear that her child will be alright, she was still a bit afraid at the thought that her child might be in danger because of the girl who was adopted by her grandmother.
Seeing that she was still afraid, the old master took out a black string with a lucky charm on it and handed it to her. " Though I usually don't do this but you girl, you are a bit special to me, that's why I will give you this charm. And don't worry, it might look a little dodgy to you but it does it works as long as it's around your wrist, your child won't lose an inch of his hair."
She took the charm that the old master gave to her and tied it around her wrist at once. " Thank you, master."
" No issues," waving his hand, he lightly rejected the thanks that Su Wan gave him. Then the smile on his face turned a bit stern as he again warned, " Stay away from that girl, she has the heart of a snake and if possible warn your grandmother too, or else she would lose her life in the hands of those whom she trusts."
————————————
When Su Wan stepped out of the chamber of the old master, her mind was buzzing, she didn't know what the old master meant by the last part but she was certain about one thing——- her grandmother was getting harmed by someone that she trusts and the person that she trusts the most at the moment was Ji Shan and her family.
A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes, she has seen many white-eyed wolves but this was the first time that she was seeing that someone was so greedy that they were trying to kill the pillar of their lives, what gave them the confidence to do so?
She frowned as she walked over to her uncles who were waiting for her alongside her husbands, just one look at her face and they immediately rushed over to her.
" Wan Wan, is everything okay?" asked Shen Junxi as he handed Su Wan the water pouch that Madam Zhu was carrying with her. " Are you feeling sick?"
" Of course, she is feeling sick, look at her condition." snapped Shen Zizhen as he hurriedly took out a bottle of sour pickle that madam Huo has packed and said, " Here take this, change the taste in your mouth and then we will talk"𝘧𝑟𝙚eｗ𝑒𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝑒𝚕. c૦𝙢
Su Wan shook her head and rejected their suggestions at once. "It's not this… The old master, he told me something——"
