Chapter 266: Spreading Evil Seeds
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Few years ago.
“Sir, here is the thing. I was born with a curse cast on me which prevents me from ama.s.sing any fortune. If you don’t believe me, change the direction that tree is facing. I guarantee that you’ll earn more today than you have earned in a year.”
After saying that, he pointed at a landscape tree in the shop.
Master w.a.n.g was interested, so he changed the direction according to what he said. He thought that the man would leave after saying that, but not only did he not leave, he grabbed a stool and sat outside the shop.
Master w.a.n.g was a little skeptical and asked his wife to bring out a bowl of rice.
The man did not stand on ceremony and ate like a wolf.
Master w.a.n.g did not have time to watch him eat because at the time two women walked in. He showed them around the shop with a broad smile. Soon, the two women bought a few silver hairpins and bracelets and left.
Next, a carriage stopped in front of the shop. A n.o.blewoman came down and bought three sets of headdresses.
After sending off seven or eight guests, Master w.a.n.g finally had time to relax. He went out and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the man was still there. He quickly invited him in.
Master w.a.n.g went straight to the point. “Master, do you have a way to make our w.a.n.g family rich and prosperous for the rest of our lives?”
The man smiled. “There is a way, but I don’t know if you are willing to do it.”
Master w.a.n.g immediately said, “What is it? As long as I can get rich and powerful, I’m willing to do anything. I’ll give you 50 taels as a reward.”
The man smiled. “I told you, I don’t want money. A bowl of rice will do.”
Master w.a.n.g was stunned. “I’ll give you ten bowls!”
The man shook his head again. “No, just one bowl. Nothing more nothing less.”
Master w.a.n.g patted his chest and promised, “Alright, alright, Master, please enlighten me. I’ll agree to anything you say.”
Madam w.a.n.g was a little nervous. She was afraid that this man would ask her husband to divorce her and marry someone else.
Madam w.a.n.g had no doubt about the possibility of that happening. If divorcing her was all it took for him to get rich, he’d do it without batting an eyelid.
That man was also looking at her, making Madam w.a.n.g afraid.
The man said, “Madam, did you just give birth to a son not long ago?”
Master w.a.n.g was stunned. “Yes, it’s only been a few days.”
This time, Master w.a.n.g completely believed him. If this man was really just a beggar who wanted a bite of food, he wouldn’t have known that they just got a son.
Master w.a.n.g immediately knelt down. “Master, please enlighten me. This shop is pa.s.sed down from my ancestor. If it shuts down in my hands, I’ll feel guilty.”
The man said, “If you are willing to sacrifice your son, I have a way to make you rich. I guarantee that you will live the rest of your life in luxury. It all depends on whether you want money or your son.”
Madam w.a.n.g was stunned. “Are you going to take my son’s life?”
The man nodded. “Yes, there is no windfall in this world. If you want something, you have to be willing to give up something. If you can’t bear to give it up, you naturally won’t get what you want.”
Master w.a.n.g was already possessed by greed at this point. “What… what should I do?”
Wealth was hard to come by, but sons could be born again.
The man smiled. “Prepare a box, a set of clothes, and a sharp dagger.”
There wasn’t much to prepare, but it took Master w.a.n.g and Madam w.a.n.g a month to finish preparing. During this month, they readily gave whatever the man wanted.
Although the shop was doing pretty well, Master w.a.n.g was still not satisfied.
Seeing that Master w.a.n.g and Madam w.a.n.g could not wait any longer, the man began to set up the formation.
It was Master w.a.n.g who stabbed the dagger into his son’s heart. The baby did not even cry before he died.
He placed the dead baby in a box, sealed it, and buried it six feet under.
Above the box was the bed where his parents slept every day.
After everything was done, the man said, “One bowl of rice. Nothing more nothing less.”
Master w.a.n.g and Madam w.a.n.g nodded.
When the bowl of rice was handed to him, the man said, “Remember, don’t dig him out. Otherwise, it will be the end of you all. He won’t be able to cause any trouble and his struggle to get out of the box will be futile.”
Holding the bowl of rice in hand, the man revealed a satisfied look and left.
Master w.a.n.g and Madam w.a.n.g still had plenty of questions to ask him, but before they could stop the man, he was nowhere to be seen.
Present time.
Although it was through memory, Liu Sanniang could feel how strong that man was. He could even change people’s fate so easily. Unfortunately, he could not change his fate.
In the w.a.n.g mansion.
Master w.a.n.g and Madam w.a.n.g were in so much pain that they wanted to die. The servants were slightly better than them. Butler w.a.n.g endured the pain and got up. He staggered to the dressing table and stuffed all the precious jewelry into his pocket.
The other servants seemed to have realized something as well. They endured the pain and searched around crazily. After taking all that there was to take in the main house, they went elsewhere.
The w.a.n.g family was rich and there were precious items everywhere.
Master w.a.n.g and Madam w.a.n.g were so angry that they vomited blood. They shouted furiously. “How dare you, you vicious servants! What are you doing? Put it down, put it all down. All of this belongs to the w.a.n.g family. Put it down.”
Butler w.a.n.g’s pocket was full. He smiled sinisterly and said, “Miss Liu said that the w.a.n.g family will be wiped out soon. You’ve done something wicked, and now retribution has come. We’re servants, but we’re also humans. When a disaster comes, who the h.e.l.l cares about you?”
“Everyone, hurry up and rob this place. The w.a.n.g family is about to cease to exist. Take as much as you can and then we’ll run away. This world is big, there will always be a place for us. If we don’t run now, we’ll die in the w.a.n.g family.”
Butler w.a.n.g shouted with bloodshot eyes. The servants felt that Butler w.a.n.g was right.
They took what they could and smashed what they could not take.
In the dark night, people who didn’t know what was going on in the w.a.n.g mansion thought they were celebrating the new year.
Master w.a.n.g, Madam w.a.n.g, and w.a.n.g Xu felt like they were in h.e.l.l. All of them were in excruciating pain.
However, the panic of seeing their a.s.sets being taken away one by one was stronger than the feeling of pain.
The entire w.a.n.g mansion was robbed empty. In the end, with Butler w.a.n.g taking the lead, everyone held a torch in their hand. Master w.a.n.g trembled and gritted his teeth. “You animals, what are you doing?”
