Not to ntion the old lady, even Teacher Yu was shocked by the child his sister had given birth to. His face changed drastically and he was horrified. His mouth trembled and he swallowed his saliva, but he couldn’t utter a word. He could only stare blankly at the child in his mother’s hands for a long ti before he squeezed out a few words. “Mom, I… I don’t know either!”
Chi Shuyan knew that the other half of the child’s body was charred because of the evil aura.
Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, Old Madam Yu quickly pried open the child’s calves for a look. When she saw that this child was a girl and not a precious grandson, she was so shocked that her vision turned black. She was utterly disappointed. Old Madam Yu was hugely agitated and wasn’t willing to believe that her precious immortal grandson had beco a granddaughter. Also, this child was too strange and ugly. If it wasn’t for the fact that this was her own daughter’s child, Old Madam Yu would have long let go and not bothered with it.
But compared with her disappointnt at this precious grandson turning out to be a granddaughter, Old Madam Yu was struck a bigger blow when she realized that this child hadn’t cried or moved since earlier. She couldn’t care less about her disappointnt, and imdiately slapped the child’s butt hard a few tis. In the end, the child’s butt was swollen, but not to ntion crying, she didn’t even make a peep. She didn’t react at all, as if she was stillborn!
Old Madam Yu and Teacher Yu were horrified and in disbelief. Old Madam Yu even directly dropped the child on the bed. She was dealt such a blow that she howled hoarsely. Without a care for her dignity, she sat on the floor and slapped her leg as she cried, “My poor daughter, why is her life so bitter? My poor precious grandson, how is this possible? The expert clearly said that the child is an immortal and would be good and healthy, and would grow up to be especially promising. How… how can it be…”?a stillborn?
Old Madam Yu was from the older generation; she valued boys over girls, but not overly so. The reason she hoped that her daughter’s child would be a boy was partly because she was sure that the expert was right, and partly because she also knew that her daughter wasn’t doing well in the Yang family. Only by giving birth to a grandson would her life be better. That was why she strongly hoped that her daughter would give birth to a grandson for the Yang family, so that they wouldn’t dare treat her daughter badly. However, not only did her daughter not give birth to a grandson, the child was also a stillborn. How would her daughter live in the Yang family in the future?
The more Old Madam Yu thought about it, the more grief she felt. She suddenly wailed and tugged at her son’s pants. “Son, what will happen to your sister in the future? What will happen to her in the Yang family? My poor daughter! How will she live in the future?”
Chi Shuyan saw that Old Madam Yu’s voice was getting louder and louder. Seeing that Yu Wei was about to wake up, she imdiately said, “Old Madam Yu, Sister Xiao Wei has just given birth and is resting. If you wake her up…”
She didn’t say the latter half of her sentence, but Old Madam Yu imdiately looked like a duck being strangled. Her sobs clearly died down, but her face still didn’t look good and she sounded choked.
Teacher Yu also suffered a huge blow from his sister’s stillborn delivery. He subconsciously looked at Shuyan for help, and saw her shake her head at him.
Teacher Yu staggered, his eyes red and filled with pain.
Chi Shuyan didn’t feel good seeing Teacher Yu like this. Although her cultivation was alright, she really couldn’t do anything about the stillborn. Besides, she clearly sensed that the child’s soul was long gone.
Of course, she wasn’t sure if the child’s soul had been swallowed by the Buddha statue or if it had gone sowhere else. Seeing how devastated the Yu family was, she couldn’t say anything for the ti being.
Teacher Yu, on the other hand, had a lot of thoughts at that mont. He vaguely understood that the fact that his sister’s child was stillborn probably had sothing to do with that Buddha pendant. However, when he thought about how it was his mother who had given this Buddha pendant to his sister, Teacher Yu couldn’t say much.
Wait, no, this Buddha statue was the doing of so expert. It even had sothing to do with Jiang Li. After all, since Jiang Li could snatch Xiao Wei’s husband, how could she not harm Xiao Wei?
Thinking this, Teacher Yu’s face was very cold. If this really had sothing to do with Jiang Li, he would have to ask her why she had done this. What did the Yu family and Xiao Wei owe her?
Teacher Yu had a lot on his mind, but he didn’t dare make a fuss like his mom in Xiao Wei’s room. Picking up the stillborn, he left the room with his mother.
Old Madam Yu was still crying mournfully as she left.
Teacher Yu cald down after this huge blow. He didn’t have ti to comfort the old lady now. He had a lot of things to ask Shuyan. Chi Shuyan understood and nodded at him. “Teacher Yu, I’ll wait for you in your study. Comfort your mother first! I’m afraid she’s very upset right now!”
Teacher Yu thanked Shuyan gratefully.
Chi Shuyan wasn’t in the study for long before Teacher Yu arrived. It was already bright outside by then. At the thought of how Shuyan had been busy all night helping his family, Teacher Yu felt both grateful and guilty.
Chi Shuyan said, “Teacher Yu, let’s talk business first! I’ve already subdued that thing, and I’ll take the Buddha pendant with . Your family is fine now, but that doesn’t an that this matter is over!”
Chi Shuyan paused at that point. Teacher Yu seed to think of sothing when he listened to Shuyan, and he shuddered violently. He continued to listen seriously to Shuyan. “Teacher Yu, there are two important things that you need to do. First, it’s best for you to take leave from work to keep your mother company, and tell her not to bring any more Buddha statues ho. Also, ask her what that expert looks like, and about exactly what happened. It would be best to cover every small detail, and even better if you can tell in detail what the expert looks like. Second, observe if there is anyone strange around your mother. If she looks for that expert again, tell imdiately once you see the person. I’ll help with this matter. I have a friend at the police station. Teacher, don’t panic!”
After hearing what Shuyan said, Teacher Yu’s taut nerves finally relaxed. However, when he thought of Xiao Wei’s stillborn child, he really didn’t feel good.
Chi Shuyan also wanted to comfort Teacher Yu, but it really wouldn’t do any good. As for how to deal with the stillborn, she couldn’t interfere as an outsider. Teacher Yu should be able to handle it. In the end, she could only say, “Teacher Yu, my condolences!”
