Chapter 1281: Chapter 1281: Old Master Miao’s Question

A year is enough to rebuild a manor.

Meng Yunzheng laughed, “Slowly build it, build for a month or two then pause, and then continue building, and continue pausing.”

If we rush the timeline, it might be a bit difficult.

Now, by reversing it and delaying the timeline, isn’t it easy to find a few reasons?

Old Master Miao didn’t care, “As long as you handle it yourself. Whether you’re hiring someone to repair or just covering things up, it’s all your matter. If there are problems, you can come to me; if it’s easy enough, I’ll help. But if anything goes wrong, it’s your responsibility.”

“Rest assured, Old Master Miao.”

“Then it’s settled. I’m just waiting for the Dongqing Temple master to return.”

While speaking, he fixed his gaze on Shu Yu, “I hope you can fulfill your promise.”

“Old Master Miao, you needn’t worry about that. After all, I’m the Village Chief, right? The basic honesty can still be achieved. Besides, with Old Master Miao’s vast empire, would I dare to bluff you?”

Old Master Miao laughed heartily, “Then I await Monarch Lu Xiang’s good news.”

Though he spoke that way, Shu Yu couldn’t help but remind him, “Old Master Miao, I promised to introduce you to my master, but you’ll still have to speak for yourself. I can say a few good words, but my master is a monk, always compassionate and benevolent, saving people. If you do more good deeds, your image in front of my master will improve, right?”

Old Master Miao put down his wine cup, squinting at Shu Yu. How come, this little girl wants to persuade him not to run a brothel but become a great philanthropist?

Shu Yu wasn’t intimidated by his gaze; she was only being considerate. Brothels can certainly operate; the historical context is different, and they legally exist here, she couldn’t possibly eradicate them.

But some heinous deeds, do them less if possible. After all, Old Master Miao wasn’t known for a soft heart.

Old Master Miao said nothing more, and Shu Yu didn’t insist.

Meng Yunzheng had already stood up, “Since things have been settled, we will take our leave now; Old Master Miao enjoy your meal, this round’s on me.”

As they were about to leave, Old Master Miao suddenly spoke, “Sir, may I have a word with you alone?”

Meng Yunzheng was surprised, and he patted Shu Yu’s shoulder, “Wait for me outside.”

“Okay.”

Shu Yu went out, and Old Master Miao watched the door close, finally asking the question he always wanted to ask, “Sir, speaking of it, you lost your mother young, you’ve endured all these years, don’t you feel unwilling, haven’t you ever felt pain intense enough to want to destroy everything? Seeing your biological mother murdered in front of you, can you truly suppress your hatred?”

Meng Yunzheng didn’t expect him to speak of this. To be honest, he’s the first person to ask him this question over the years.

He was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, “Of course I have, not just once, I’ve wanted to perish with my enemies. But they aren’t worth it. My life was saved by my mother with her utmost effort, very precious; this life doesn’t belong to me alone. I will seek revenge, but I won’t sacrifice myself, otherwise my mother would never forgive me from below. She worked hard for me, how could I fail her?”

She worked hard for me, how could I fail her??

Old Master Miao’s hand slightly clenched. His sister also worked hard for him, she even risked her life to protect him in the end.

He sought his revenge too, but unlike Meng Yunzheng who now has a loving fiancée and a clean future, he mired himself in hell after avenging.
