Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Chapter 39: The gloomy eldest son of the Yan family made old lady Zeng as angry as a puffer fish.

Before receiving the Qin family's approval, Mrs. Yan didn't dare to tell her son about this matter.

Now that I have got the confirmation, I will tell him the good news as soon as possible.

When I walked into the yard where my son lived, I could smell the pungent smell of alcohol from afar.

Madam Yan walked a few steps to her son's room and saw him holding a white porcelain wine jug and pouring wine into his mouth like water.

The young man who used to be full of vigor and vitality is now skinny and has disheveled hair and beard, not much better than a beggar on the street.

Ever since he was sure that the scars on his face could never heal, he had been drinking all day, drinking when he was awake and sleeping after drinking, and he had tortured himself into a mess.

Mrs. Yan's eyes were red with distress, and she stepped forward and snatched the wine pot from Yan Yun's hand:

"Yoona, drinking is harmful to your health, stop drinking!"

Yan Yun was furious when his bottle was taken away from him. He staggered to his feet and looked at his mother impatiently:

"Bring it!"

Madam Yan was unmoved, so he went straight to grab it. During the struggle, he ruthlessly threw Madam Yan, who was much shorter than him, to the ground. This time, her forehead accidentally rubbed against the chair, and blood immediately seeped out.

"lady!"

The servants beside Mrs. Yan were startled and rushed to support her, but Yan Yun remained unmoved. He took back the wine jug and continued to pour wine into his mouth.

Madam Yan felt the warm blood flowing down, and quickly covered it with a handkerchief. When she opened the handkerchief, she saw that there was not much blood, so she immediately covered it again and sternly instructed everyone:

"No one is allowed to spread what happened today, or I will pluck out your tongue and sell it!"

The country ruled the world with filial piety. If the rumor that Yan Yun beat his mother spread, it would be extremely detrimental to his future prospects and he might even be directly stripped of his official title.

Mrs. Yan often comforted herself in her heart that her son's future was ruined and it was so painful that he treated her like this.

As long as his face is healed, he will become the filial and good son he used to be.

Everyone quickly said that they saw nothing.

Seeing this, Yan Yun just smiled sarcastically.

Even if the news got out, what difference would it make? In his current state, does he have any future at all?

"Yun'er, mother came here this time to tell you a good news. Your face can be saved!" Mrs. Yan quickly got straight to the point, hoping that her son would feel better after hearing this good news.

Yan Yun had been disappointed too many times and didn't believe this so-called good news at all. He sneered when he heard it:

"Where did you find this so-called miracle doctor?"

Mrs. Yan knew that she had exaggerated too many times in the past in order to get Yan Yun to cooperate with the doctors' treatment, making him unwilling to believe in her anymore.

"This time is really different from the past..."

She told the truth about the abbot of Cihang Temple's various magical methods, but Yan Yun still looked indifferent.

He had read a lot of books and had seen many travelogues recording the deceptive tricks of those charlatans.

The so-called supernatural powers are nothing but tricks to deceive people.

As for the growth of teeth, I'm afraid it was just a coincidence.

Not to mention that the old lady of the Qin family is only sixty years old, even the elderly in their seventies can suddenly grow teeth. The head of the Cihang Temple was just taking the blame on himself to confuse the public.

He sneered:

"It's a clumsy trick of a charlatan, and only those foolish men and women believe it! When did the wife of a dignified Tongzhi become so stupid?"

Madam Yan pretended not to hear his ridicule and kept advising:

"Yun'er, mother has seen Madam Qin's teeth with her own eyes. The abbot of Cihang Temple is really capable! Just go and give it a try!"

Yan Yun remained unmoved.

Madam Yan could only swear to heaven:

"Yun'er, please believe me. I really didn't lie to you this time. If I lied, I'd be struck by lightning!"

Yan Yun smiled sarcastically and continued drinking.

Mrs. Yan had no choice but to continue persuading:

"Yun'er, even if your mother begs you, just give it another try! I heard from Madam Qin and the others that the abbot's treatment time is very short each time, only about an incense stick. Why don't you go with your mother? It's only a day, and in exchange for a high probability of curing your face, it's a good deal, isn't it..."

Yan Yun was annoyed by his mother and became very angry. The gloom in his heart continued to ferment. Cure his face? There was no hope for his face!

"Okay, then I'll trust you again!"

Madam Yan also reminded the monks of the importance of respecting the abbot, and Yan Yun said "OK" in a sinister tone.

However, he was thinking with resentment in his heart that since there was nothing else to do, he would go and expose the deceptive tricks of the Cihang Taoist Temple tomorrow. Then he would destroy the Taoist temple and make life miserable for everyone!

When the time comes, that charlatan who dared to deceive him will be made to suffer a fate worse than death!

So, early the next morning, the mother and son took a carriage and went with their servants to meet the Qin family.

Yan Yun didn't want to deal with outsiders and didn't get out of the car. Only Mrs. Yan came down and exchanged a few words with the Qin family.

Yan Yun was wearing a cloak with a wide brim covering his face. Through the gap in the car curtain, he saw that the head of the Qin family, Qin Dafu, had also come along, and he sneered with disdain.

These unscrupulous businessmen will never miss any opportunity to curry favor with these officials and families.

However, to his surprise, Qin Dafu did not come up to talk to him, but followed the carriage the whole time, and occasionally said:

"Be careful, be careful, don't let it get bumped!"

When they reached Cihang Temple and everyone got off the carriage, Qin Dafu ran to the female Taoist priest who was in charge of reception and said in a flattering manner:

"Master Huiyun, I have brought a basket of tangerines from the south. They are thin-skinned and tender, and very delicious. I am sending them here specially for the master of the temple. Please send someone to receive them at the door!"

Yan Yun couldn't help but frown. As the head of the family, he made a special trip here just to personally deliver a basket of tangerines to the temple master?

In the past, even if these merchants sent gifts to official families, they would usually only send a steward.

Seeing Qin Dafu's face almost broken with laughter when facing Taoist Huiyun, Yan Yun just found it ridiculous. These unscrupulous businessmen only had some brains when it came to speculation and profiteering, but when they were faced with the more sophisticated charlatans, they were also deceived.

Just imagine the expressions of these foolish men and women when they find out they have been cheated. It will be really interesting!

As he was thinking, he had already walked into the main hall and found that there was an old lady dressed elegantly and luxuriously worshipping inside. She stood up and saw them, and started to greet his mother.

"Mrs. Yan, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

His mother, Madam Yan, smiled reservedly:

"It's Madam Zeng, why are you here too?"

Judging from my mother’s attitude, it should be the Zeng family, which ranks among the top three in Southern Capital.

Yan Yun looked at the offering table and saw that it was filled with offerings.

Among them, the plate of golden small ingots and the white jade Guanyin statue with excellent water content are particularly eye-catching.

Even without other offerings, these things are worth about one thousand taels.

His generosity shows his piety.

The abbot of Cihang Temple is really good at making money.

Unfortunately, my good days are over now that I met Yan Yun!

*

Madam Zeng didn't know what he was thinking, she just sighed and said:

"I am here to pay my respects to Master Cihang and the abbot. Unfortunately, I have not found an introducer yet. Madam Yan is not as lucky as she is. Someone has come to my door with the opportunity to introduce me."

When talking about this, Mrs. Zeng became extremely depressed.

She originally thought that once she found a devout believer recognized by Cihang Temple, she would bring offerings to Cihang Temple, and then she could directly ask the temple master to help her grow new teeth.

Who would have thought that after asking around for several days, she couldn't find a single devout believer.

Then he came to his senses and wondered why the old lady of the Qin family was so secretive in the first place. Not only because she wanted to make a profit from the rare commodity, but she also probably didn't want to attract someone she couldn't afford to offend.

After all, it's easy to figure out that a believer wouldn't have the nerve to let the master take action repeatedly. So, anyone with a little bit of brains would leave the opportunity for their own family to save their lives at a critical moment.

If you make your identity as a devout believer known and the powerful come to you and ask for introductions, should you agree or not?

If you don’t agree, you will offend the powerful.

Agreeing would mean sacrificing the chance to save one's own family's lives.

So, it’s better to keep your mouth shut from the beginning.

It was precisely because of this that she could not find any other devout believers except the old lady from the Qin family whom she discovered by chance.

Seeing the Qin family coming with Madam Yan and her son, the sourness in her heart was about to rush to her head.

Seeing that she was mocking her family and was willing to take the opportunity to see the abbot to please Madam Yan, Old Madam Qin pouted in her heart and said:

"Isn't that much more fortunate than some people? Some people came here three times and still couldn't see the master!"

Old Madam Zeng felt so hurt that she really wanted to rush forward and tear her annoying mouth apart.

However, he remembered that he was in Cihang Temple and did not dare to cause trouble. He just held his breath and turned himself into a puffer fish.

She secretly swore in her heart that since she couldn't find a devout believer to introduce her, she would become a devout believer herself!

By then, she will definitely rely on her ability to be loved by everyone to become the most beloved believer of the temple master, and make the old lady of the Qin family envious and jealous to the point of red-eyed disease!
