Wang Qing's face was full of pain: "But I don't want you to die, do you understand? I don't want you to die, how can you be so stupid? If you die, what will happen to your father? What will happen to me?"
Lady Miao looked at Wang Qing innocently: "But everyone will die one day. I want to use my limited time to do what I want to do. I want to marry you beautifully. I want to give you my perfect self and leave you a child. Even if it means dying, I am willing to do it."
"Besides, if I don't go, you will die. Don't think I don't know that you have already noticed me even though I am so fat. The Brahma Temple wants to be known by everyone and to be considered as efficacious by everyone, so it will definitely find a famous local person to help fulfill their wishes."
"Although it may not be their wish, but everyone thinks it is, then it must be. In my life, I have been discriminated against by many people because I am fat, but you are the only one who has not. You are willing to help such a fat me, Brother Qing, you are kind, I have always believed that."
Wang Qing gritted his teeth, his face full of pain: "I am not kind, I am not. If I were kind, you wouldn't have experienced all this."
Lady Miao smiled: "If it weren't for you, I would have been forced to lose weight. Maybe it would be more painful than it is now! Brother Qing, I know you are doing this for my own good, I understand."
Reaching out his hand and pulling Wang Qing, the two of them sat by the bed: "So Brother Qing, you will help me fulfill my current wish, right? My father's second half of his life depends on you. I will leave you a child to remember, okay?"
Looking at the pure eyes of Miao Meiren, Wang Qing found that he couldn't refuse at all. Finally, he nodded: "Okay."
Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning looked at each other, and the room fell silent. The two of them turned around and left, returning quietly to their guest room.
"Husband, what will happen if Miss Miao gives birth to a child?"
Gu Xiangning was silent for a moment before speaking: "When the child is born, the mother will die."
In other words, Lady Miao, who could have lived for two years, can only live for ten months? Xiaoman frowned and looked at Gu Xiangning: "There must be something we don't know about this, maybe we can find out."
Gu Xiangning nodded: "Alright, since we are staying here anyway, we can stay for two more days. It would be best to think of a way to get them to agree to send us to the Fanyin Temple. Didn't the second brother say that not everyone can have their wish fulfilled if they go there?"
Obviously, this is a secret known only to the locals. But he only knows a little bit about it, not very clearly. But those who have been there and whose wishes have been fulfilled know it.
In a blink of an eye, it was the next day. When Master Miao was having breakfast, he heard a servant say that he had left two people to stay next door yesterday.
After breakfast was ready, they asked to invite people. Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning came very quickly. When they came over, they happened to meet Lady Miao and her husband who also came over to pay their respects to Master Miao.
"Morning, Dad."
Wang Qing also called out to his father: "Dad, good morning."
Master Miao nodded with satisfaction: "It's early, the guests are here, sit down and have dinner."
Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning looked at each other, then sat at the table. They didn't speak during the meal, but after they finished eating, the servants served tea, and Master Miao looked at them curiously.
"I wonder what on earth you two have come to me for? And you brought such precious gifts."
The gifts they prepared yesterday were not cheap! This is what the housekeeper said this morning. Gu Xiangning smiled and looked at Master Miao: "Master Miao, you don't know my name yet. My name is Gu Xu, the seventh son of the Gu family, and this is my wife."
After Gu Xiangning finished speaking, he looked at Master Miao who was still confused, and couldn't help but smile and began to explain: "It's the big grain producer, the Gu family."
There is no Gu family store in this small town, but Master Miao has heard of the Gu family. Upon hearing this, he immediately looked at Gu Xiangning in surprise: "So it's Master Gu Qi, you came to our small place, how can we help you?"
Gu Xiangning introduced her again a little embarrassedly: "This is my wife. We have been married for more than a few years, but we have no children. I heard that there is a Fanyin Temple that is very effective, so I plan to go there to worship."
When Xiaoman heard the words "no child", he rolled his eyes helplessly, then lowered his head and pretended to be very sad. Then he heard Gu Xiangning continue to speak: "Actually, I don't really care whether there is a child or not, but my wife wants a child, so we are here to take a look."
"I heard some people say that Miss Miao's wish was fulfilled by worshipping Buddha at the Fanyin Temple. I wonder if this is true? Is the Fanyin Temple really so effective?"
Do you want a child? Lady Miao looked at the two of them and frowned: "Mr. Gu, if your wife never has a child, will you always love her?"
Gu Xiangning nodded: "That's natural. My wife is the most important to me."
Master Miao said, "A family like the Gu family would be hard to survive without an heir. If possible, we should go to the Fanyin Temple to pray. After all, the Fanyin Temple is very effective."
Gu Xiangning and Xiaoman looked at each other. After hearing this, they knew that Mr. Miao did not know about his daughter's situation.
Miss Miao frowned and said, "Go back. We won't introduce you to anyone. If you still can't have a child, go find a doctor. Why are you praying to Buddha?"
Xiaoman nodded in her heart, very satisfied, this Miao girl seemed to be kind-hearted. She knew that kind of place was not allowed for people to go.
"We have seen countless doctors, but nothing worked. We have no other options. We have actually visited many temples, but nothing worked. The Fanyin Temple sounds very effective, so we want to give it a try."
"We came here this time just to ask, will Miss Miao's wish come true in Fanyin Temple?"
Before Miss Miao opened her mouth, Master Miao spoke up: "That's right, Fanyin Temple is really effective. My daughter used to be very fat, but she lost weight after going to Fanyin Temple to pray once. And many women have gone there to pray for children, and they all succeeded in the end..."
Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning were still talking, but they stood up and said, "If that's the case, then we'll go first. We'll set off now and go to Fanyin Temple."
Miss Miao watched the two men leave and wanted to keep them, but she was afraid of arousing the suspicion of Miao's father. In the end, she could only watch them leave: "Dad, I'll take Brother Qing out for a walk."
Father Miao said, "Come back soon."
After leaving the hall, Miss Miao suddenly said, "My husband, I want to stop those two from going to Fanyin Temple. They seem to be in love, a talented man and a beautiful woman, don't let them get hurt."
Wang Qing also knew what was going on with those people who were praying for children. Although Wang Qing was a little beggar in the town, that was just a disguise: "Forget it, let's just think of it as accumulating merit for our child."
It would definitely not be possible to show up directly, so Wang Qing quickly wrote a letter and had it delivered directly to Gu Xiangning and Xiaoman.
After Gu Xiangning and Xiaoman left the Miao family, they nominally went back to the inn to pack up their things. So when they received Wang Qing's letter in the inn, Xiaoman was so angry that she trembled after reading the contents of the letter.
"It looks like we really need to go and see this Fanyin Temple."
Gu Xiangning also read the letter, frowning: "Fanyin Temple is really a disaster."
It turns out that everyone who went there to pray for a child got one. There was a hidden story behind this. When people went there to pray for a child, the abbot of the Fanyin Temple would feel their pulse. If the woman was fine, he would give her a pill.
This pill can help women get pregnant. Those who take the pill will go to a room to rest under the pretext of bathing and fasting.
In this room, there will be men ready to help these women get pregnant. The so-called help is actually just rape, which is simply unreasonable.
During the whole process, these women themselves said they had no idea, and the couples were grateful for being pregnant with a child whose father they didn't even know. The most infuriating thing was that when these children grew up to a certain age, they would be taken into the Tianzhu Palace.
Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning looked at each other: "This letter is definitely sent by Wang Qing, but why did he describe it in such detail? Are we exposed?"
Gu Xiangning shook his head: "I'm not sure. It looks like I need to talk to Wang Qing alone."
The two looked at each other and decided to go find Wang Qing tonight to have a good chat. After nightfall, the two sneaked into Miao's house again and came to Wang Qing's room to stare at him.
Wang Qing glanced at the rooftop, coaxed Miss Miao to sleep, and then flew up to the rooftop: "Mr. Gu, Madam Gu, you two really guessed it was me."
Gu Xiangning nodded: "You can remind us, it doesn't seem so bad, what is going on here? Can you tell me more about it?"
Wang Qing nodded and began to speak: "When I sent the letter, I didn't intend to keep it a secret. I know that the Gu family is capable, so I want to ask you for one thing. If you can promise me, I will tell you everything I know."
Gu Xiangning heard that he really had something to ask for: "I can agree to it. It's just sending a few people out. It's not a big problem. And I, Gu Qi, always keep my word."
Wang Qing nodded: "I believe in Master Gu, otherwise I would not have taken the risk and told you frankly. My name is Wang Qing, and I am an ordinary disciple of Tianzhu Palace. I have been in Tianzhu Palace since I was born. Every year I have a mission to inspect various villages and towns."
"Gather all the representative figures in the town and the village. One day, these people will play the role they should play. My wife is the same, but I didn't expect that my wife was also an accident."
