Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1537 Desperately Begging For a Grandson

Chi Shuyan didn’t expect to run into the Cai family again. Most importantly, they lived next door to her teacher. She had initially planned to leave, but now, she changed her mind and followed the old lady into the Cai family villa.

Seeing that the Master had agreed to come inside, Old Madam Cai was enthusiastic, solicitous and overjoyed. Those who didn’t know better would think that there was a huge happy occasion in the Cai family.

This was Chi Shuyan’s first visit to the Cai residence. When she entered, she sized up the place casually and also studied the middle-aged woman whom the old lady had told to pour her tea.

Old Madam Cai also remembered that when she chased that b*tch Li Tian away just now, the Master had most likely seen it. Afraid that she would misunderstand, she hurriedly explained, “Master, that woman just now was my ex-daughter-in-law. That woman really hooked up with another man and was pregnant. That b*tch even wanted to treat the b*stard in her stomach as a child of my Cai family. What a misfortune for our family! Fortunately, you warned us early on. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what b*stard would inherit my Cai family in the future.”

Every time Li Tian was mentioned, Old Madam Cai gritted her teeth and looked like she wanted to tear her apart. In front of the Master, Old Madam Cai restrained her emotions a little, but the hatred in her eyes for her daughter-in-law didn’t decrease at all.

As they chatted, they walked into the living room of the villa. Old Madam Cai immediately invited the Master to sit down. It just so happened that Du Shufen brought the tea over then. Chi Shuyan took the opportunity to get a good look at the woman.

The other party was clearly in her thirties. She had nice features, but her skin was sallow and there were many wrinkles on her face, which made her look like she was in her forties; she had probably suffered a lot.

Du Shufen kept her head down as she came out with the tea. She poured tea for Chi Shuyan obediently, her movements nimble but a little timid. Chi Shuyan could vaguely guess at her identity.

Watching her ex-daughter-in-law pour the tea, Old Madam Cai stood dumbly on the side and didn’t know what to say. If it were in the past, she would have despised and scolded her ex-daughter-in-law for being too wooden.

When she thought of Li Tian now, however, her dissatisfaction with Du Shufen was immediately swept away.

Li Tian was good at talking and had a glib tongue, but in the end, didn’t she hook up with another man to cheat on her son?

Now, Old Madam Cai understood one thing: Not to mention anything else, any woman who became her daughter-in-law had to be more obedient. If a daughter-in-law like Li Tian took her son’s hard-earned money to support another man, wouldn’t she vomit blood?

Thinking this, Old Madam Cai felt more and more that her son’s ex-wife was good. Besides, the Master had also said that her Cai family would only have two granddaughters and no grandsons in this life.

Although Old Madam Cai still couldn’t really accept this, she had resigned herself to this fate and planned to compensate this ex-daughter-in-law in front of her. So, seeing her standing obediently on the side in a daze, she also asked her to sit down.

Du Shufen hurriedly shook her head. “Mom, I’ll just stand!”

Seeing that she was willing to stand, Old Madam Cai sat down and said to Chi Shuyan solicitously and enthusiastically, “Master, we’re really fated to meet! As soon as my door opened, I ran into you. What a coincidence!”

Chi Shuyan didn’t have a good impression of the old lady in front of her, but as the saying went, one shouldn’t slap a smiling face. Chi Shuyan also smiled. “What a coincidence!”

“Master, why did you come to my house today?” Old Madam Cai really hoped that the Master in front of her had specially come to her house to change what she had said about grandchildren – what if the Master had thought of something?

Chi Shuyan could tell at a glance what the old lady was thinking. It had to be said that she was impressed by the old lady’s desire for a grandson. She simply wouldn’t turn back until she hit a wall. No, she wouldn’t give up even if she hit a wall. Chi Shuyan was helpless against this kind of thinking that valued boys over girls.

Sure enough!

Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, the old lady suddenly knelt in front of her, which gave her ex-daughter-in-law, Du Shufen, a fright. Chi Shuyan was also startled, and she heard the old lady say pitifully, “Master, Master, my Cai family is about to die out. I beg you, can you think of a way for my Cai family to have a grandson for my pitiful sake? It’s fine even if I have to become a vegetarian. Master, you don’t know how terrible I feel every day when I think about how Youcai doesn’t have a son. When I die in the future, I won’t be able to face his father and the ancestors of the Cai family. Why is my fate so bitter?”

The old lady sobbed miserably as she spoke.

On the side, Du Shufen was terrified and hurriedly helped the old lady up.

Old Madam Cai didn’t get up. She just knelt in front of Chi Shuyan and cried until Chi Shuyan’s head hurt and she regretted entering the Cai residence.

Chi Shuyan was still going to refuse at first, but when she thought of how the Fu family was next door to the Cai family, she suddenly asked, “Old Madam, what is your relationship with the Fu family next door like?”

Old Madam Cai was also a shrewd person. When she heard the Master in front of her suddenly change the subject and mention the Fu family, her eyes lit up and she immediately said, “Very, very close. Master, as long as you can help me find a way to hold a grandson, I’ll do anything. As for my Cai family, we really are close to the Fu family.”

Chi Shuyan continued, “Then, you should know Fu Qing and Zhao Junrong, right?”

Old Madam Cai was usually a gossipy person, so she immediately nodded and said, “Yes, yes, Fu Qing is a good daughter. It’s just that this boyfriend she found isn’t a good person.”

Although Old Madam Cai valued boys over girls, she was also good at reading people. She could tell at a glance if a person was capable or not. In short, Old Madam Cai had a very good impression of Fu Qing, but she really didn’t have a good impression of the boyfriend Fu Qing had found. From what she said, he was a poor kid who couldn’t do anything at all, and wasn’t as good as her own Youcai.

Old Madam Cai spoke her mind. She didn’t think well of the relationship, nor did she have a good impression of Zhao Junrong.

Old Madam Cai couldn’t stop gossiping, and continued to blather on at Chi Shuyan. “I’ve seen that Zhao kid before. Fu Qing has poor eyes; that man clearly has designs on her family background, and he has no capability at all. This marriage can’t happen! I even quietly advised that girl before, but unfortunately, he’s turned her head; she really thinks that kid is a good person. In the future, this kid will rely on Fu Qing to make a fortune and marry someone else. It’ll be too late for her to regret it!”

Chi Shuyan didn’t expect Old Madam Cai’s eyes to be so sharp. She saw through Zhao Junrong at first glance, and had even privately advised Chi Shuyan’s teacher. Her impression of Old Madam Cai immediately changed.

Thinking of Zhao Junrong, Chi Shuyan’s eyes turned gloomy. It was as the old madam had said: Zhao Junrong, that scumbag, was after her teacher’s family background. Zhao Junrong, that scumbag, had no conscience at all and had a black heart.

Old Madam Cai originally wanted to continue gossiping, but she saw the Master’s face change in front of her. She thought she had said something wrong. Perhaps this Master was related to that kid? Thinking this, Old Madam Cai’s heart turned cold. Afraid that the Cai family wouldn’t be able to get a grandson, she was about to apologize to the Master.

The Master said, “Old Madam, thank you for persuading my teac… my aunt.”

Chi Shuyan fabricated an identity for herself and said that she was a distant relative of the Fu family, but hadn’t contacted them for a long time. Later, she became apprenticed to a teacher, and she hadn’t been in contact with her relatives for more than a decade.

She specifically indicated that she had a particularly good relationship with her aunt, who had raised her when she was young. However, they had been apart for too long now; not to mention the rest of the Fu family, even her aunt probably wouldn’t recognize her.

She had come to S City this time because she heard that her aunt was getting married, and she wanted to see what sort of person her aunt was marrying.

However, she didn’t know how to approach the Fu family for the moment.

Chi Shuyan was worried at first that Old Madam Cai would doubt her, but who would have thought that the old lady would firmly believe her. Taking advantage of the moment, Chi Shuyan helped her up.

Old Madam Cai sat down on the couch and immediately said, “Master, leave this to me. By the way, I think the man your aunt found really isn’t anything good. A few days ago, I saw him being quite intimate with a strange woman in private. Once you and your aunt reconnect, you have to advise her properly. When a woman gets married, it’s like being born a second time. If this isn’t done properly, it’s hard to say what the future will be like!”

What the old lady didn’t say was that Fu Qing was the only daughter of the Fu family. What if that kid tricked her and controlled the Fu family before marrying another woman in the future? As an old lady, she had seen too many such men!

Chi Shuyan was quite grateful to Old Madam Cai for thinking so much of her teacher. When she heard the old lady say that the other party was quite close to another woman in private, Chi Shuyan’s eyes turned cold. She very much suspected that Zhao Junrong, that scumbag, had another woman besides He Minrou.

Thinking this, there wasn’t the slightest bit of warmth in Chi Shuyan’s eyes. Grateful for the information, she looked at Old Madam Cai and said, “Old Madam, I don’t plan to reconnect with my aunt immediately. I have an idea. I wonder if you can help me? If you can, I’ll naturally do my best to think of a way to help you fulfill your wish!”

As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, Old Madam Cai was overjoyed. As long as she could have a grandson, she was willing to do hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of favors, let alone just one favor.

Old Madam Cai suppressed her excitement and hurriedly said to the Master in a shaky voice, “Master, tell me immediately if you have any instructions. I’ll definitely carry them out for you.”

Chi Shuyan immediately asked if Old Madam Cai could introduce her to the Fu family. Of course, not as a distant niece, but as a Master.

She could also use the old lady to help give a more favorable impression of her skills in front of the Fu parents. For example, her fortune-telling was very accurate. It would be even better if Old Madam Cai could persuade the Fu parents to get her to read their fortune.

After listening to this, Old Madam Cai immediately agreed. “No problem, Master, no problem. Leave this to me. Go back and wait for a while. I’ll contact you immediately if there’s any news!”

As she spoke, the old lady told Chi Shuyan to tell her where she was staying now, and Chi Shuyan said that she was staying in a hotel. The old lady enthusiastically persuaded her to stay at the Cai residence, saying that she had many rooms that Chi Shuyan could choose from.

Chi Shuyan wasn’t used to living in someone else’s house, so she refused right away.

Old Madam Cai didn’t force it. Masters had their own habits.

Before she left, Chi Shuyan said that she would draw a Welcoming Offspring Talisman for her family in a few days and give it to her. She also glanced at the old lady’s ex-daughter-in-law, who had been silent the entire time and now looked a bit pale. She said to the old lady, intentionally or otherwise, that her ex-daughter-in-law had a good fate, and was a good candidate to bear a grandson. “If the Cai family really has a grandson, it will be from your daughter-in-law!”

Sure enough, as soon as she said that, Old Madam Cai’s face changed drastically. She looked at her ex-daughter-in-law next to her with an incomparably gentle gaze. She also heard the Master exhort her to take good care of her ex-daughter-in-law.

At the thought that her ex-daughter-in-law could give birth to a grandson for her Cai family, the old lady practically wanted to give her everything. When she saw the Master off, she saw her ex-daughter-in-law silently picking up the tea set on the table. She immediately said anxiously, “Shufen, there’s no need for you to do such a small thing. Hurry and go to your room to rest and sleep more. I’ll go to the nearby market later to buy you a pigeon to stew!”
