Chapter 1550: Chapter 1530: You Are Forgiven

The mother and son of the Du Family had searched themselves thoroughly, but they had no silver taels on them.

Old Madam Du was silent for a moment before she took off the jade bracelet from her wrist, the jade hairpin from her head, and even her rings: "These can be exchanged for some money, young lady, see..."

"Barely enough." Seeing that the old lady took off everything except a pair of jadeite earrings hanging from her ears, she nodded, thinking there really was no other option. After all, it was almost sunset.

Putting everything into the silver note box, she boldly declared: "The lady said she understands your intentions, has no blame towards you, and is indifferent to worldly matters. The karma of this situation is beyond her control, please take care. Simply put, she has forgiven you."

Having said that, she naturally hugged the box and ran off quickly, not giving the Du Family any chance to reclaim the silver note.

"Runs really fast." He Wenyu chuckled, taking his gaze back: "Time to cook, there shouldn’t be much drama left to watch."

"Not necessarily." Luo Shufan shook his head speechlessly, while Luo Qianqian stood up and ran, leaving behind a big stone that looked a bit strange but wasn’t unusual at all.

Because there were words on this big stone.

"What does it say?" Luo Yanhai was curious, examining it, but due to the distance and angle, they couldn’t see it clearly.

He Wenyu immediately climbed back onto the wall: "Could it say something like ’The Great Chu shall arise, King Chen Sheng’?"

"Do you think this is the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising?" Luo Shufan was speechless, and that was inscribed in a belly of a fish, this is inscribed on a stone.

"I bet it’s something mysterious, look at those two people’s faces, how unpleasant they look." Bai Yizhu insightfully commented.

"It doesn’t matter what’s written on it, what matters is what they plan to do." Luo Qianqian lazily returned to the courtyard and raised an eyebrow at the group: "I did want to make it more awkward for them so they’d be frustrated but helpless, but then I thought maybe it’s more fun to watch it unfold from a distance. Right?"

"So, what exactly did you write?" He Wenyu asked eagerly. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Oh, only those from Nine Heavens Pavilion can read it, to others, it’s just a collectible, they can’t understand it anyway."

Luo Qianqian chuckled: "I wrote two lines in English, translating to ’All effort goes in vain’."

"Pfft, that’s brilliant. Even if they go through all the trouble to find someone to interpret it, getting that phrase is just perfect." He Wenyu covered his mouth, his eyes sparkling with delight, laughing for a while before taking hold of Luo Qianqian’s arm: "Thank you."

"It’s nothing, it’s you who should be thanked." Luo Qianqian smiled but couldn’t hide her guilt: "And I’m sorry..."

If she hadn’t told He Wenyu to go out for a walk, this wouldn’t have happened. If Huang Yueran and An Zilan heard about this, they’d be angry enough to blow up their heads, though they wouldn’t care much, a young girl’s reputation isn’t something to joke about.

But it’s certain that before blowing their heads, the Du Family would definitely receive trouble from the two mothers...

After all, it’s their child, and any grievances should be settled behind closed doors. But bullying absolutely cannot be tolerated.

"I forgive you." He Wenyu said generously: "But do you know what this implies?"

"You’re naturally beautiful, attracting attention wherever you go." Luo Qianqian burst into laughter, quickly backing her with something favorable.

"I’m being serious." He Wenyu said, slightly blushing, looking helplessly at the people laughing around.

"How serious am I?" Luo Qianqian retorted unwillingly: "And wouldn’t be pursued if not pretty, right? Even a matchmaker was at the door."

Not wanting to say more in front of the mischievous smile on Luo Qianqian’s face, He Wenyu fell silent.

"What I mean is, when we go out in the future, we should go in groups, and these kinds of situations can simply be turned down, like monkeys on display at a zoo." He Wenyu curled her lips, seeing the large fish Luo Qianqian ’earned’ laid on the table, feeling slightly speechless: "You should give it to charity, toss it into Forget Worries Tea House, and offer a meal to those who can’t eat."

"Right, speaking of which, how’s that woman from the last time?" Luo Qianqian wisely changed the topic: "Even Shiba looks more plump than her, how could she be that skinny."

"Ah yes, you reminded me—she’s been clinging to you, unwilling to leave." Luo Yanhai rolled his eyes, full of helplessness, looking at the seemingly normal girl doing unusual things.

No matter if you close the shop, she doesn’t leave, resting on the table. But perhaps because she’s full, her complexion improved.

"Big brother, you didn’t scare her, did you?" Luo Qianqian was speechless for a moment, but such a person grabbing at a lifeline and not letting go is understandable. After all, at Forget Worries Tea House, she can at least get a good night’s sleep.

Thinking about it, Luo Qianqian turned to Luo Shufan: "Brother, why don’t you take a look? If it’s not possible, employ her as a waitress, with food and accommodation. After all, she’s been of help; it’s not right to just leave her like that."

Luo Shufan nodded: "I’ll go check it now, and bring something to eat for you all, while also checking the situation in the city."

Having said that, Luo Shufan leisurely climbed onto the wall to leave.

"Brother, take this, the big fish Shiqi caught, take it along." He Wenyu quickly tidied up the box and looked at the jewelry, surely not intending to have Yue Tingyu wear such second-hand jade ware, but it seemed decent enough to give as gifts.

After putting all the silver taels into the box, Luo Shufan lept away into the distance, unobtrusively avoiding the attention of the Du Family’s three members.

"Hey, are they really planning to move the stone?" Huangfu Yihui, having been vigilant outside, naturally was aware of the situation outside. Seeing them begin to move the stone, he suddenly was speechless.

Isn’t it easier to just take a rubbing of the words?

"Hey, Shiqi, you carved this directly without any embellishment?" Luo Xihan suddenly asked, looking seriously: "Aren’t you afraid it will be seen through if not aged...?"

"Hmm, I didn’t intend to disguise it as something naturally formed, but I did do some treatment so it wouldn’t look newly made." Luo Qianqian, as the disciple of Fang Youyuan, a master carver, naturally grasped some skills, though her carving was mediocre, her aging technique was quite fine.

And isn’t it said that a gentleman’s revenge can wait for ten years?

As it should be.

She wouldn’t mind having Elvis pose as the master during mealtime, just to enlighten them a bit.
