Jin Shanyao led the person into the room, pulled a bamboo tube of divination sticks from under the table, placed it on the table with a thud, and laughed, "Shake it..."
The silly goose's gaze fell on the divination stick container, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he grasped the container, his wrist trembling slightly.
"Splash... thud." A bamboo skewer popped out.
He picked it up, his fingertips brushing over the fortune slip, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips.
Jin Shanyao glanced at the fortune slip and exclaimed in feigned surprise, "A very auspicious fortune! Congratulations, young master! This is extremely lucky! Your wishes will come true, and your future will be bright!"
The young master simply looked at her with a smile, without saying a word.
Jin Shanyao cleared her throat twice, feigning composure, and said, "I wonder what troubles your mind, young master?"
"I wish to ask, your admiration is like an orchid blooming in a secluded valley, its fragrance hidden, and I dare not disturb it lightly. When we meet, I treat you with only courtesy, never speaking of personal matters, and never overstepping the bounds of propriety. Others only see your gentleness, but not your infatuation."
The smile on Jin Shanyao's face gradually faded, leaving only a blank look in her eyes. "Can you speak human language?"
The young master froze, staring intently at the Jin Shanyao for a long while. "I like my broom, how can I keep it from my brother finding out?"
"I understand..." Jin Shanyao the table lightly with her finger, carefully examining the man before her. She noticed a barely perceptible sarcasm hidden in his eyes, yet his face remained innocent, leaving her wondering what he intended to do.
It's hard to hide liking someone, but it's definitely possible to hide liking many people.
"What the master is trying to say is that truth and falsehood lie hidden between the unique and the numerous."
Jin Shanyao a deep breath and gritted her teeth, saying, "Speak like a human."
"Can I not see women? I don't want to betray my wife."
Jin Shanyao head silently. I said, "Someone like you can't even keep up with the freshness of wild vegetables you find."
Thinking of the man's strange behavior, she decided to settle this matter and returned the ten taels of silver to him.
"Young master, we are not destined to be together..."
The young master was taken aback at first, then laughed and said, "Everyone says Anzhi Hall's divination is accurate and full of ideas, but I think he's nothing special."
Oh my god... who are you trying to provoke? I'll screw you over! "Add fifty taels."
Without a word, the young master took out fifty taels of silver and placed it on the table. "Please enlighten me, Master."
Jin Shanyao her lips... her eyes gradually sharpening, "A person's energy is limited. Find five women for your brother first, keep him busy."
All you need to do is occasionally show concern for your son, highlighting how you differ from your brother, and time will bring you everything you desire. Remember... be exceptionally attentive."
The young master hesitated, "He's still my own brother, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"No poison, no manliness. To deceive the heavens, one must take risks..." Jin Shanyao his finger, twirling it over the silver ingot, his eyes sinister and utterly devoid of humanity.
"Propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame; public order and good customs..."
Bang! Jin Shanyao his hand heavily on the table, a sharp glare sweeping across his face. "Speak like a human being."
The young master, his previous gentle demeanor completely gone, pointed at Jin Shanyao's nose and cursed, "You shameless bastard!"
"Damn it... You're shameless! You've got the nerve to ask me for advice after you've set your sights on that broom. I just told you how, and you turn around and bite me. I knew you weren't a good person."
With a Jin Shanyao her golden fan, she grabbed the other person by the collar, forcefully pulling them close, her eyes fixed on them. "Tell me... whose child are you? Take me to your brother."
Excitement gradually crept into the young master's eyes. "So... you also think falling in love with Mozi is shameful, right? You all think so, don't you?"
Why are you forcing me? I don't want to inherit two families; I just want to live my own life. Why are you all forcing me? And you, you wicked woman, how could you come up with such a heinous idea?
"I want to die with you!" the young master said, and began to struggle frantically.
Jin Shanyao stunned... What was going on? Could her words now kill without a trace? Should she shut up?
Just as she was completely confused, an old man rushed in from outside the shop and quickly grabbed the young master.
"Young master, young master, what are you doing here? Be good... let's go home and take our medicine."
As the old man spoke, he grabbed the silver ingot and was about to leave. "Outrageous!" Jin Shanyao around the table, blocking the doorway, and sternly declared, "You may leave, but the money must remain!"
The old man apologized, "Miss, I'm sorry, but my young master is mentally unstable."
"What...?" Jin Shanyao completely bewildered.
The young master frowned and said to the old man, "Speak human language."
The old man quickly changed his tune, "My young master is a madman."
"What..."
The young master was furious, "Speak like a human being!"
The old man groaned inwardly, "What he said wasn't human language?"
Jin Shanyao the door shut, her eyes darting suspiciously back and forth between the two. Ha... she'd initially thought the silly goose was naive, but it turned out she was the naive one.
Jin Shanyao her head stiffly, "I don't care if your young master is crazy or not, but he insulted me and you even stole my money... I suspect you two are here to cause trouble."
The young master grinned and clapped his hands, laughing, "I finally know how to solve the problem of 'I like my broom': it's about constantly finding women for my brother, hahaha... Brilliant, brilliant!"
The old man blushed upon hearing this, and stammered an explanation, "Please don't be offended, young lady. The young master is the eldest son in his family and has no elder brother or sister-in-law. He was just talking about a character in a storybook; please don't take it seriously."
Jin Shanyao her head suspiciously, "Really??"
"Really..." The old man held the young master's hand tightly to prevent him from running away. "My young master has been intelligent since childhood. He passed the imperial examination at the age of seven and became a scholar at the age of thirteen, which caused a sensation in Qingzhou Prefecture."
Unexpectedly, during the provincial examination, he couldn't bear the confinement and oppression of the examination room, and on the very day he entered the examination hall, he lost his mind and went mad.
The old man sighed, "The master was afraid his condition would worsen, so he put away all his scientific research books, let the young master live in the biggest house, and didn't restrict him much."
But the young master was born with a love for reading, and would throw a tantrum if he didn't read. The master had no choice but to let him read storybooks, but when he encountered something he couldn't understand, he would ask everyone for help.
I don't know what came over me today, I actually ran out and caused trouble for the girl.
Jin Shanyao sharply as her gaze swept across the young master's face. "Leave the money; after all, I genuinely offered the idea."
The old man's expression was grim. "Young lady, I vaguely overheard a few words about your idea, it's too malicious... I have to say a few words to you, you need to straighten your mind at such a young age, otherwise you'll end up going astray sooner or later."
"What 'ditch' nonsense? I'll just ask you one question: are you trying to renege on your debt?"
The old man's face flushed red as he pointed at the Jin Shanyao, "You're being unreasonable! Everyone says my young master is crazy, and you're actually asking a madman for money!"
"So what if I'm crazy? So what if I'm crazy? Crazy people can kill without breaking the law? Give me the money..." Jin Shanyao couldn't hold back and roared, startling the two of them into taking a half step back.
The young master's eyes instantly reddened, and he stammered as he began to loosen his belt, saying, "I have no money to repay you, so I can only offer myself to you."
The old man grabbed the man's hand. "Young master, it's this old servant's fault for letting you be bullied by this wicked woman. You don't need to repay me with your body; this old servant will do it."
As he spoke, he began to take off his clothes. Zhou Xiaosi tried to stop him, but Jin Shanyao scolded him, "Let them take off their clothes. Once they're naked, tie them all up at the entrance of the Anzhi Hall."
Let passersby see what happens when someone dares to extort money from the Anzhi Hall.
The old man pointed at the Jin Shanyao in shock, trembling as if he had been deeply insulted, "You have no shame... you are immoral!"
Jin Shanyao, arms crossed, "If you dare to take your clothes off, what can't I see..." Then her eyes widened, "Take them off... why aren't you taking them off?"
Zhou Xiaosi looked conflicted. "Uncle, you should still give me the money. When my master goes crazy, he's even less human than your young master."
Jin Shanyao her eyes and looked coldly at Zhou Xiaosi, saying, "Nonsense, when did she become mentally ill?"
The old man sized up Jin Shanyao and saw that her fierce gaze and determined eyes made her seem like someone not to be trifled with. So, reluctantly, he slammed the money on the table.
"Hey... you heartless, unscrupulous merchant!"
He put down the silver, helped the young master up who was still undressing, and before leaving, gave Jin Shanyao a parting word, "Miss, in the dead of night, you should reflect on your life; it's utterly immoral."
"I'm not reflecting on my life... I'm not even human."
Pfft... The young master couldn't help but laugh out loud. He gave the Jin Shanyao a deep look, then turned and left the shop.
