Volume 1 Chapter 30 Kneeling in Request

  I didn't say anything out of place, and Wenjing's words were also very respectful. Suddenly, she changed her expression in front of me, what's the reason for this?

  When her niece followed her out, she even dared to suggest that she buy some grain. After returning home, she didn't say much, and when asked questions, she answered cautiously. Is there something going on in the Xie family that I'm not aware of?

  No, tonight, I have to make an excuse to sleep with my niece and ask her, if it doesn't affect my sister's family, then I don't need to ask. But if it affects them, our family won't just sit back and watch my sister's family suffer. Although the Du family doesn't have a good reputation, we won't lack food, drink, or clothes.

  The old lady's heart gradually turned cold, originally she was still uncertain about how to deal with Jia Daifu's blackmail, now Xie Wenjing had such an attitude, she didn't have anything good to hesitate about, directly let the person in Bamboo Garden die, what could Jia Daifu still blackmail her for?

  Xie Wenjing looked at the old woman's gloomy face, and was shocked to see a fierce glint in her eyes. She thought to herself: This old woman can't wait for her father to die!

  Xie Wenjing suddenly got up and knelt down in front of her grandfather: "Grandfather, grandmother, father has been getting weaker and weaker these days. His breathing is extremely shallow and rapid, as if he could leave at any moment. Wuuu...

  Grandfather, grandmother, I heard from my eldest aunt that the Fahua Temple in Hangzhou is extremely efficacious. Even if someone suffers from a terminal illness, as long as they personally bathe at the Fahua Temple and have three to five close relatives sincerely pray for blessings, once they receive the Buddha's blessing, they can recover without taking any medicine.

  Grandfather, grandmother, these two years the precious medicine for Father cost tens of thousands of taels, but such precious medicine not only didn't help Father recover, but also put Father's life in danger.

  Wen Jing was unfilial, wanting to bring her younger brother and mother together with Father and Eldest Uncle and Aunt to take a boat to Fahua Temple in Hangzhou to pray for blessings for Father. As long as our hearts are sincere enough, the Buddha will surely pity my father and return a healthy father to us!

  "Waaah, Wenjing is asking grandma and grandpa to please pity my dad and let him go to the Fahua Temple in Hangzhou to seek blessings from Buddha. Dad has a kind heart, so Buddha will definitely bless him to get better, waaah! Eldest uncle and auntie, please help me ask grandma and grandpa together?"

  Everyone suddenly looked at Xie Wenjing, who was kowtowing to her grandparents with a sad expression in order to cure her seriously ill father. She begged and cried continuously, causing everyone present, whether they had tears or not, to take out their handkerchiefs and wipe away their tears.

  Xie Wenjing suddenly felt her grandmother's ruthlessness and guessed that this old woman might have murderous intentions.

  As the highest authority in the backyard of the Xie family, this old woman wants her father's life, and there will naturally be countless ways.

  She only needs to sacrifice one of her subordinates, and she can take the old man's life. Or take her brother's life, or directly destroy herself. Just because she is the highest power holder in the Xie family's backyard, as long as she has the heart to do something, what can a junior like him do to fight back?

  Even if she serves her father a bowl of poisonous medicine, she can't defend herself against it.

  Xie Wenjing didn't dare to fight with this old woman in the Xie family, using her parents' lives to gamble on her own cleverness. Xie Wenjing didn't dare. If she wanted her father to really have time to recover, it would be best to leave the Xie family for a while.

  As long as the whole family leaves Yangzhou, we can discuss what to do in the future later.

  But now is the time to teach, however, he himself was caught off guard and pulled his uncle and aunt into the water, wondering if his uncle and aunt would unscrupulously agree to his request?

  After all, they are taking risks, if Dad dies in their company in Hangzhou, it is a responsibility for them.

  He dared to ask his grandfather on behalf of his uncle, just because he had long been dissatisfied with the burden of his father's family, and perhaps in his eyes, his father was better off dead earlier, so as not to drag down the entire Xie family.

  As long as Uncle and Aunt dare to agree, Xie Wenjing believes that Grandfather will also dare to agree to her request. As for Grandma's obstruction, as long as she cries sadly and begs pitifully, she believes that Second Uncle and Second Aunt will be the first to stand up and show their support.

  Third Uncle and Third Aunt also knew that what they said was true, having sought out the famous doctor Jia for over two years without any improvement, so why not try seeking help from Buddha instead?

  "Eh! Just going to Hangzhou, the road is bumpy, I don't know if your father's body can hold up!"

  The anxious voice of grandfather.

  As expected, the grandfather had already given up on that extravagant son. If he stopped taking his medicine and turned to Buddhism instead, whether he lived or died, it would be a good thing for the Xie family.

  Wen Jing can bring it up, what's the reason for not agreeing? Besides, it's also this child's filial piety, so it should naturally be fulfilled.

  "Old master, it can't be! When sister left, I promised her to take good care of the child she left behind. Now that Cheng Yu is like this, my heart aches more than anyone else's."

  What disease can be cured without seeing a doctor or taking medicine? Wenjing is still a child, although she has a kind heart, but she is only twelve years old, how would she know these things?

  If I really agreed to Wenjing's request for a child, outsiders wouldn't know and would think that I, as the stepmother, was being discriminatory towards this sickly son.

  Using worshiping Buddha as an excuse to stop Cheng Yu's precious medicine is a murderous intention! At that time, the people of Yangzhou will point at my spine and scold me for being a cruel and poisonous stepmother who harmed the eldest son of the Xie family.

  "If it's like that, what face would I have left to see people? Even less the face to see my deceased sister?" "Wuuu..."

  Grandma was suddenly startled by Xie Wenjing's words, and she jumped in fright. If she let Xie Chengyu go out, others would take a look at him and know that there was a problem. At that time, her carefully crafted image of a virtuous and gentle stepmother would collapse.

  No way, he absolutely cannot leave the Xie family. We must get rid of Xie Chengyu as soon as possible, not only to deprive Jia Daifu of his leverage, but also to prevent Xie Chengyu from having any chance to turn things around.

  "Grandma, Wenjing was still young, but Wenjing still remembers that Grandma used to worship Buddha. Every first and fifteenth day of the month, Grandma would go to Daming Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. Even twenty years ago when she fell ill, she stayed at Daming Temple for several months. Wasn't it during that stay at Daming Temple that Grandma's illness was cured without taking any medicine?"

  Grandma, Wenjing is young but knows that the Buddha cannot be deceived. Everyone knows that there are gods and spirits everywhere. When encountering illnesses that medicine cannot cure, it's common for people to seek help from the Buddha instead of doctors. How could anyone dare to touch Grandma's spine?

  Everyone knows that grandma has a kind heart, how can't she understand? Grandma spent all her money on dad without any results, so she had to seek help from Buddha.

  What's more, grandma also has many years of incense and fire for Buddha, the Buddha will also take care of grandma's children because of her many years of offering incense.

  Grandfather, grandmother, Wenjing really has no other choice. Wenjing doesn't want to see Father living such a difficult life. Grandfather, grandmother, why don't we ask Father and Mother about their thoughts? If they agree, let's have Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt take our whole family to Fajing Temple in Hangzhou to seek blessings from the Buddha?

  "Grandpa and grandma, please pity my father!"

  Xie Wenjing even ruthlessly knocked her own forehead until it bled, just to use such a filial piety posture to give her grandfather an excuse to get rid of the burden.
