Chapter 848 - 848: Set Up a Longevity Memorial Tablet

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At the thought of losing 100 taels, Madam Li’s heart ached. This treatment seemed to be easy for Liu Sanniang. Was 100 taels too much?

If she had known it would be so easy for Liu Sanniang, she would have offered thirty taels.

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “It’s very easy to save him. Set up a longevity memorial tablet and worship it for ten years to help him enter reincarnation.”

Madam Li felt a buzzing in her head. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She looked at Chu Chun and said in a daze, “Sanniang, isn’t the longevity tablet supposed to be worshiped only after one passed away? Don’t joke with me. He is still fine.”

Madam Li pointed at Chu Chun. Chu Chun only looked at her quietly. His eyes were extremely calm, but such calmness made Madam Li a little afraid.

Liu Sanniang untied Chu Chun and said slowly, “He has mixed feelings about you. He wants to kill you, but he doesn’t want to kill you. You also have mixed feelings about him. You want him to die, but you also want him to live well.”

Madam Li’s face was pale and she was about to break down. She clenched her fists tightly. She seemed to understand what Liu Sanniang meant, but at the same time, she did not.

Liu Sanniang continued, “He’s been dead for a long time. What you see now is just a soul condensed from hatred.”

Liu Sanniang reached out and touched Chu Chun’s head. “I guess you want an answer, right?”

After his disguise was exposed by Liu Sanniang, Chu Chun’s face turned pale. He looked at Madam Li and met her terrified eyes. He nodded at Liu Sanniang in agreement.

Madam Li was in a daze. She felt as if she had become a block of woods and could not move. She could understand every word Liu Sanniang said, but when they were combined, why did she not understand what it meant?

Looking at Chu Chun, who was as pale as a ghost, Madam Li reached out and placed her hand under Chu Chun’s nose with difficulty. Her vision was blurry and she was stunned for a long time.

Madam Li’s legs suddenly went weak and she immediately fell to the ground, crying. “How come? When did you die? When I left the temple, I gave them so much money to take care of you…”

The existence of Chu Chun was a stain in her life that she would never be able to wash away. However, he was the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy after all. She also wanted him to do well.

No matter how much she didn’t want him to exist in this world, she still hoped that he would be safe and sound.

Chu Chun looked at Madam Li crying, his dark eyes revealing confusion. “Why are you crying when you know that I’m dead?”

He could not understand why Madam Li did this.

Madam Li’s heart ached. “I’m your mother. How can 1 not cry…”

“You must hate me, right? I hate myself too. If that man didn’t lie to me and sleep with me, I wouldn’t have been pregnant with you. I wanted to strangle you to death when I gave birth to you, but when I gave birth to you, 1 couldn’t bring myself to do it. I abandoned you in the Daoist temple and let that old Daoist priest take you in.”

“It’s all my fault. I knew where you were so 1 always went to see you. That’s why I brought disaster to you…”

Later, when she married Mr. Chu, she lied that she was a virgin. Mr. Chu did not know that for more than ten years, she had been secretly giving money to the Daoist temple. In a year, she would visit the Daoist temple two or three times.

Before she entered the capital this time, she thought that she would never see him again, so she gave the Daoist temple a sum of money.

She thought that even if Chu Chun could not inherit the Daoist temple, in a few years, he would have the ability to make a living on his own. However, she did not expect Chu Chun to be caught and brought to the capital.

The Jin Dynasty had investigated her thoroughly. No matter how angry Madam Li was, she hoped that Chu Chun could live. She did not want to acknowledge him, but she hoped that he could live well.

Chu Chun looked at Madam Li quietly with a calm expression. “You don’t have to feel bad. After this farewell, we won’t meet again.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Madam Li cried, “No, no, Sanniang, you must have a way to save him, right? Please.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Madam Li. “With ten years of worship, you can help him enter reincarnation.”

If Madam Li wanted to worship Chu Chun, she had to get Mr. Chu’s permission first. Otherwise, Mr. Chu would not agree to add a memorial tablet for no reason. This meant that she had to tell Mr. Chu everything.

Madam Li glanced at Chu Chun and made up her mind.

She slowly stood up. “Wait for me. I’ll go and confess to him.”

Madam Li turned around and left. She ran back to the mansion without caring about anything else. Everything around her seemed to have nothing to do with her.

Chu Chun watched as Madam Li walked away. He lowered his head guiltily. “Exorcize me. A malicious ghost like me deserves to die.”

After he died, he only wanted to see his mother and ask her why she abandoned him. However, when he saw Madam Li and knew that she was helping the Jin Dynasty just to save him, Chu Chun was confused.

He was raised by the old Daoist priest. He had also asked the old Daoist priest about his parents. The old Daoist priest only sighed and shook his head, saying that he was abandoned because he was not fated with his parents.

Chu Chun had always felt that he was abandoned, but Madam Li’s concern was all true. Chu Chun wanted an answer, and now, he had also gotten the answer he wanted.

Madam Li had hidden this secrett for so long, but she was willing to reveal the secret for him. Didn’t that prove everything?

Chu Chun no longer wanted to make things difficult for his mother. The moment he saw Liu Sanniang, he felt afraid. He knew that Liu Sanniang would definitely be able to exorcize him.

Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Chun. “Close your eyes.”

Chu Chun closed his eyes obediently, but he still couldn’t help but ask, “Will it hurt?”

When Liu Sanniang chanted the scriptures, Chu Chun felt very warm. That feeling was as if he was in his mother’s stomach. It turned out that it did not hurt.

Liu Sanniang put Chu Chun in a teacup and turned to leave.

Madam Li returned to the mansion and looked for Mr. Chu with red eyes. Her body was trembling.

In the courtyard were the vegetables planted by Mr. Chu. They had already grown out and were especially green. At the thought that she would lose everything, Madam Li kept crying..
