One year should be enough time to rebuild the estate. Meng Yunzheng chuckled, "We'll take our time with the repairs—working for a month or two, then taking a break, and then continuing again."
Rushing the construction might pose some difficulties, but now, delaying the timeline was easy; they could come up with several reasons.
Master Miao didn't mind, "It's up to you to handle everything. Whether you find someone to repair it or deceive others, it's your business. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me, and if it's within my capacity, I'll help. But if something goes wrong, it's your responsibility."
"Master Miao, rest assured."
"That's settled then. I'm waiting for Daoist Dongqing master to return."
As he spoke, he looked directly at Shu Yu, "I hope you can fulfill your promise."
"Rest assured, Master Miao. As a village lord, I can at least uphold the most basic integrity, right? Besides, you have a large family business. Would I dare to deceive you?"
Master Miao burst into laughter, "Then I'll await good news from Lu Xiangjun."
While the words were spoken in jest, Shu Yu couldn't help but remind him, "Master Miao, I promised to introduce you to my master, but you'll have to speak for yourself. I can speak highly of you, but my master is a Buddhist monk, always compassionate and helping others. If you do more good deeds, it will create a better impression when you meet her, right?"
Master Miao put down his wine glass, squinting as he looked at Shu Yu. What? Did the young girl want to advise him not to run brothels or gambling houses and turn into a philanthropist?
Shu Yu wasn't afraid of his gaze; she was merely speaking her mind. While it was perfectly fine to open brothels and gambling houses in this era, she couldn't advocate for anything that harmed morality excessively.
Although Master Miao wasn't a soft-hearted person, there were certain things that were better not to be done.
Master Miao didn't speak, and Shu Yu didn't insist on persuading him any further.
Meng Yunzheng stood up, "Since the matter is settled, we'll take our leave. Master Miao, please enjoy the rest of the meal. I'll cover this meal."
As they were about to leave, Miao Lao suddenly spoke, "Young Master Meng, can I have a private conversation with you?"
Meng Yunzheng was surprised, patting Shu Yu's shoulder, "Wait for me outside."
"Okay."
Shu Yu left, and Master Miao waited until the private room's door was closed before asking the question he had wanted to ask for a long time, "Young Master Meng, considering you also lost your mother at a young age, haven't you ever felt unwilling and pained to the point of wanting to destroy everything? When your biological mother was killed before your eyes, could you truly suppress the hatred in your heart?"
Meng Yunzheng didn't expect him to ask this. To be honest, over the years, he was the first person to inquire about this matter.
He fell silent for a moment before nodding, "Of course, I've had those thoughts multiple times. I wanted to perish together with my enemies. However, they weren't worthy of such actions. My life was bought with my mother's sacrifice and is precious. This life doesn't solely belong to me. I will seek revenge, but I won't sacrifice myself. Otherwise, my mother wouldn't forgive me from the depths of her grave. She put so much effort into saving me, how could I disappoint her?"
She put so much effort into saving me, how could I disappoint her??
Master Miao's hand slightly clenched. His sister had also put in so much effort to save him and had sacrificed herself in the end.
He had also sought revenge, but unlike Meng Yunzheng, who now had a loving fiancée and a clean future, he fell into hell after avenging his sister.
