“There are a few shops in our ministry that aren’t far from your dry goods shop. When I go back, I’ll tell the shopkeepers that if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can ask the owner of my warehouse for help.” Princess Ning Fu sized up rhe eldest daughter and the others before turning to say to Song Zhou with disdain, “1 also think that things aren’t easy for your three daughters. If you can’t become more assertive, I don’t mind helping them!”
After saying this, Princess Ning Fu didn’t stay any longer. She stood up and bid farewell to Lin Suisui before leaving without looking back.
After sending Princess Ning Fu off, Lin Suisui gestured for Yuan Niang to help Song Zhou sit down on the chair first. Then, she continued to ask her, “1 heard from Yuan Niang that you were in a hurry to find me because you have something to say?”
Facing Lin Suisui’s question, Song Zhou nodded straightforwardly, but then she deliberated for a moment before saying, ’“I heard from the eldest daughter that you were asking about the Snake Temple.
My mother-in-law and I were the first to come into contact with the Snake Temple.
You might not believe me, but the sage in this temple was just a woman who walked the streets nearby.
A few months ago, this temple that is filled with incense had yet to be built!”
“You mean that rhe sage in the Snake Temple has actually always been an old acquaintance of yours?” Lin Suisui immediately understood the main point of Song Zhou’s words and couldn’t help but ask curiously.
If what Song Zhou said was true, then all of this was too interesting.
Among the three children, the oldest one had the tame head technique planted by the tame head technique master from Siam. Moreover, it was most likely the eldest princess’ doing!
However, on rhe surface, the person presiding over the Snake Temple was a local who had always lived in Cloud Mountain City.
So, how did these two groups of people start colluding?
Was it a spur-of-the-moment idea, or…
“Yes, I’m absolutely sure.” Song Zhou nodded at Lin Suisui with certainty. “This Sage Master has lived in Luo Ping Alley, which is not far from us, since childhood.
Her mother was an oracle to begin with. Later on, she took over her mother’s job and had always been telling fortunes and exorcising evil spirits near our home.
Originally, she was living from paycheck to paycheck. Sometimes, she didn’t even have enough money to buy rice every month and had to go to the rice store to buy it on credit.
A few months ago, for some reason, she suddenly started acting like a different person. She said that she had been chosen by the True God and had supreme spells that could save lives and give people wealth. Anyway, from what she said, she was simply omnipotent.
At first, no one believed her.
After all, she was considered an old woman in our area. Everyone knew her capabilities. Flowever, after she really helped people a few times, everyone changed their opinion.
Later on, as she helped more and more people, her reputation spread and she became a famous oracle.
My mother-in-law had always wanted me to give birth to a son for the Song family. She had met the sagemaster before, so she took the initiative to see her this time.
Actually, it wasn’t like I hadn’t been brought by my mother-in-law to worship various gods before. I had drunk talisman water, so I was already used to her asking me to worship gods.
However…”
At this point, Song Zhou paused slightly, as if she had thought of something terrifying. Then, her face turned pale. Lin Suisui didn’t rush her. She just sat patiently at the side and waited for her to recover.
“However, I didn’t expect my mother-in-law to implicate my daughters later. At first, she only said that she wanted my daughters to go over and kowtow to the True God.
It was said that the True God liked innocent children the most, so if a child prayed to the True God, it would be much more effective than adults like us.
Originally, I was unwilling, but my mother-in-law kept insisting. I thought that it would be fine, so I agreed in the end.
The first time my daughters went to offer incense was fine. However, the second time was different.
When rhe eldest daughter returned, she said that the sagemaster had given them some disgusting sacred water’. 1 had drunk talisman water before, so 1 asked my mother-in-law about it. 1 wanted to know what the sagemaster had given my daughters.
However, my mother-in-law didn’t think that there was anything wrong with this. Instead, she scolded me for being troublesome!
The next time, my mother-in-law didn’t let me go with them!
However, I was worried, so 1 quietly followed my mother-in-law over. I didn’t dare to enter through the front door, for fear that my mother-in-law would see me. 1 went to the backyard and sneaked in while the old woman guarding the door wasn’t around.
In the end, 1 saw a few chicken coops in a house. What was inside were not chickens and ducks, bur living people! Living people whose bodies were festering!
I was extremely afraid at that time, so I didn’t dare to stay long. I hurriedly crawled out of the dog hole in the back courtyard wall and ran home.”
“Then why didn’t you think of reporting it to the officials?” Yuan Niang was also shocked by Song Zhou’s words.
If she was careless and got discovered, she would have been doomed!
“I didn’t dare to.” Song Zhou shook her head and shrank back in the chair timidly before continuing, “I was afraid that if 1 had gone out and my mother-in-law found out, then I…”
Song Zhou was telling the truth.
Her life in the Song family was basically under Old Madam Guo s watch. Not to mention going our, even if she stayed in the room for too long, Old Madam Guo would pester her!
If they found out that she had gone to the officials, she would cause trouble for her!
Tm telling you this today since 1 heard from my mother-in-law that she mentioned this temple in front of you. I was afraid that you would really be interested in this temple and go over to pay your respects.”
Song Zhou bit her lower lip. Before Lin Suisui could speak, she continued to stammer as she explained.
“In that case, the reason Mrs. Luo hasn’t listened to your mother-in-law and gone to the Snake Temple is that you’ve also reminded her, right?” When Lin Suisui thought of Song Zhou’s careful approach, she thought of a possibility and asked Song Zhou, “I thought it was strange previously. According to Mrs. Luo’s temper, she rarely butts head with people. However, she probably wouldn’t refuse to burn incense in the Snake Temple so vehemently.. From the looks of it, you probably reminded her secretly, right?”
