Chapter 266 - 265: Is Qin Liuxi the One to Break the Curse?
Qin Liuxi was unaware of the actions Prince Wang and his grandson were taking behind her back. At this moment, she was seated in Si Lengyue’s guest room, watching Si Tu, with snot and tears streaming down his face, talking about the difficulties and bitterness of raising an orphaned girl, fearing at any moment she might leave him.
Si Tu’s eyes were red and swollen as he looked at Qin Liuxi, pleading, "Little Taoist, I know you’re greatly skilled. You must help save my daughter. If she follows her mother, I can’t live on either. I’d have to follow them too."
"Follow them for what?" Qin Liuxi provocatively asked, "If she were to die young, the vast wealth of the Si Family would fall into your hands. You could still marry and have children with your surname; wouldn’t that be delightful?"
Si Tu’s eyes widened, shocked, "Are those the words a person should speak?"
"Isn’t that human nature?" Qin Liuxi countered, "Hasn’t a son-in-law of the Si Family ever done such a thing?"
"Of course not! If they had, what would be left for us?" Si Tu replied without hesitation, "Once a son-in-law enters the Si Family, they are completely loyal. I’ve never harbored such malicious thoughts. I’m determined to be faithful to my wife for life."
His body was reserved for his wife alone; he wouldn’t think of touching any other demoness or vile woman.
Si Tu even gave Qin Liuxi a look, thinking the beliefs of this little Taoist were truly unhealthy.
Qin Liuxi: "!"
The Qinglan Temple Master let out a cough, and said: "The Si Family usually finds their sons-in-law at Charitable Halls, orphans mostly. Previous sons-in-law who lost their wives would either help manage the Si Family’s assets or pass away in depression. Rarely any lived past forty."
