After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister’s Treasure Chapter 123 - I have high hopes on you

Chapter 123: I have high hopes on you

When she saw that her scumbag father was very hesitant and conflicted and seemed to go against the idea of going up the mountain together, Shi Qingluo asked, “Do you still want to have a son?”
Third Son Shi was no longer conflicted and immediately jumped onto the horse carriage.
Sitting beside Xiao Hanzheng, he said, “Go, I’ll go, alright?”
He was really afraid of this wretched girl.
Shi Qingluo curled her lips. “That’s more like it.”!!
To deal with a troublemaker, one had to be extremely careful.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain and the 3 of them walked to the Taoist temple together.
Shi Qingluo took out her key to open the door and brought Third Son Shi to the main hall.
The priest’s ashes were already placed on the altar table, together with a carved urn.
At the front was a huge incense burner.
Shi Qingluo walked over and took 3 sticks of incense on the table before lighting them up.
She clasped her hands together, held the incense sticks, and bowed to the old priest. “Master, I’ve come to see you. If you’re happy, feel free to touch our heads.”
Then, she placed her foot on one side of the table and kicked a corner that one would not easily contact.
Only then did she step back and dip the incense into the incense urn.
The tablecloth covering the table was almost touching the ground, so it was difficult to see her movements.
Just as she finished doing so, a gust of wind suddenly blew over the top of her head, as if someone was stroking it.
The same happened to Third Son Shi’s head.
Although it happened very briefly, he still felt it.
Thus, he widened his eyes and was both shocked and excited.
So the old Taoist was really an old immortal.
Otherwise, how did this gust of wind come from?
He swallowed his saliva and asked Shi Qingluo, “Was that your master just now?”
Shi Qingluo said righteously, “Nonsense, if it wasn’t my master, do you think that there would be a sudden gust of wind in a confined hall?”
When she was renovating the main hall, she had asked Xiao Mu and his son to set up some mechanisms to allow the old immortal to manifest his spirit.
It was just a gust of wind for a short period of time!
After kicking that trap, a rope above the main hall would pull to rotate the fan, and the wind would blow once.
There were even more powerful mechanisms in other places, but for someone like Third Son Shi, it wasn’t necessary.
The ancients believed in these things, so she came up with some mysterious incidents to make everyone believe that her old Taoist master was indeed an old immortal.
Only then would he be able to continue taking the blame. Hehe.
Third Son Shi finally believed her.
Indeed, there wasn’t much wind outside, and the windows inside weren’t open either.
How could there be a gust of wind blowing over their heads?
If the old immortal wasn’t showing his presence, then what was it?
Then, he looked at Shi Qingluo with a burning gaze. “Looks like the old immortal really likes you as his disciple!”
Shi Qingluo raised her chin. “Of course. If my master didn’t like me, would he have taught me so many things?”
Third Son Shi’s eyes lit up instantly and moved closer to her. “Let’s discuss it, shall we?”
Shi Qingluo knew what he was about to say. “You want me to help you get a son?”
Third Son Shi rubbed his hands. “You’re smart.”
Shi Qingluo had called him over today and even acted as if the old immortal had appeared.
Of course, she wanted Third Son Shi to take the initiative to come knocking on her door.
She said ambiguously, “It’s not impossible.”
Third Son Shi was anxious. “You can say it with more certainty.”
He hurriedly added, “If there’s anything you need from me, just tell me.”
He was such a lowly and unworthy father.
Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows and said with disdain, “Just you?”
Third Son Shi muttered under his breath, even this wretched girl despised him.
“Not only will I listen to you, I will also do more good deeds.”
Right now, he only had one wish, and that was to have a son to carry on the family name.
Shi Qingluo rubbed her chin. “Alright then, seeing that we are having a father-daughter relationship, I can reluctantly help you beg my master from time to time.
“But I don’t dare to guarantee that your next child will be a boy.”
There was really nothing she could do about that.
Third Son Shi heaved a sigh of relief. “I believe in your master.”
Shi Qingluo thought to herself, now I’m the one who doesn’t believe in him, alright?
But of course, she wouldn’t tell him that. “Alright, I’ll try my best.”
She added, “If you don’t do your job properly, or if you commit some evil deeds instead of helping others, my master will definitely not bless you with a son.”
This was what she meant.
If her scumbag father couldn’t give birth to a son, it meant that he wasn’t sincere enough to persevere to do good deeds.
This reason was perfect!
Third Son Shi also believed her. “I will definitely be sincere and find something good to do.”
Shi Qingluo beckoned at him, and he immediately moved closer.
“Not only do you want to do it, you have to get Mdm Niu to do it as well.
“Even if those people from the Shi family don’t take the initiative to do good deeds, you have to watch over them and not let them do bad things.
“Otherwise, the two of you will also be affected because of karma.
“After all, y’all have not cut off your kinship with them yet. All of you are still a family.”
She suddenly felt that she was about to become a fraud.
Because of the previous head-touching incident, Third Son Shi more or less believed everything she said.
Gritting his teeth, he said, “Alright, I’ll try my best to make sure that they don’t do bad things.”
Shi Qingluo could tell that her scumbag father was about to go crazy to get a son.
However, they were in an ancient era, and carrying the family name was extraordinary.
In rural areas, families that were unable to give birth to a son would feel ashamed of themselves.
Shi Qingluo looked at him with a faint smile and asked, “If someone asks you to sue me for being unfilial or something, what will you do?”
Her gaze made Third Son Shi’s scalp go numb. “Then I definitely won’t sue you!”
If he hadn’t asked this girl to help for a son, he wouldn’t have been so certain.
But now, it was necessary.
Shi Qingluo asked again, “If someone comes to sow discord and ask you or your family to find trouble with me or the Xiao family, what will you do?”
Third Son Shi thought for a moment and tried to probe, “I’ll come to tell you in advance and listen to your arrangements?”
He roughly knew that someone was probably going to annoy this girl or the Xiao family.
Shi Qingluo realised that Third Son Shi was indeed smart. “It’s good that you are aware of it.
“If anyone were to look for the other members of the Shi family, you should know what to do, right?”
Third Son Shi immediately understood. “I know. I’ll tell you right away.”
For the sake of his son, he would do anything even if it meant betraying his parents.
Of course, the key point was that he wouldn’t want his parents and brothers to do any more bad things.
Otherwise, what would he do if he offended the old immortal?
Besides, this girl was very powerful.
Perhaps, not only would he be forbidden to do any bad things, she might even taught him a lesson. Why bother?
Shi Qingluo’s smile deepened. “Not bad, you’re a smart person.
“I have high hopes for you.”
In Shengyuan’s memories, her scumbag father was as sly as a fox.
Mdm Niu would usually be the main culprit of any bad deeds.
Now, she discovered that he was a rare smartie in the Shi family, just that he didn’t use his intelligence in appropriate situations and stopped doing good deeds.
Now, she had to turn him into a new leaf.
Mdm Niu pushed Shengyuan to death.
It was unintentional, but she was still the culprit.
However, after inheriting more memories from Shengyuan, she realised that Shengyuan actually didn’t hate her parents, Mdm Niu and Third Son Shi.
Instead, she was concerned about them.
Shi Qingluo only let go her plans to take revenge after Shengyuan left behind some of her subconsciousness that she didn’t intend to do so.
Since she didn’t want her to take revenge, Shi Qingluo would teach these problematic parents how to behave.
Third Son Shi thought to himself, you don’t have to think so highly of me.
Hearing his daughter’s words, he immediately felt very stressed. However, for the sake of his son, he could only accept it.
