Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5497 Reputation
Unfortunately.

In the end, it seemed that he was the only one who kept his promise.

……

The monk did not beat around the bush.

He said directly, "I met a wedding procession on the street today."

"Very lively."

“Everyone is just watching the fun.”

"I followed the crowd."

“Then I found myself in a familiar place…”

……

Madam Wu lowered her eyes.

That's what happened.

"What a coincidence..."

……

The monk curled the corners of his mouth.

"Yes."

"Coincidentally."

"...I remember that Miss Six is ​​also of marriageable age..."

"I asked the people around me if they knew which young lady in the mansion was getting married today?"

……

Madam Wu raised her hand and rubbed her forehead.

……

"Then I learned that it was Miss Seven."

The monk looked at the fifth lady.

……

The expression on Mrs. Wu's face gradually faded.

……

"I also accidentally learned that the one who was supposed to get married today was the Sixth Miss..."

The monk paused for a moment, then continued, "It's a pity that Miss Six..."

……

"She's gone."

The Fifth Lady continued.

His expression was light.

She doesn't look like a mother who just lost her daughter.

It was as if the person leaving her mouth was not her own flesh and blood.

But an irrelevant passerby.

……

The monk lowered his eyes slightly.

Then he raised his eyes.

“I wonder if you could tell me…”

"Why did Miss Six leave?"

Although the monk had heard what others had told him before, he still wanted to hear the truth from the fifth lady's mouth.

"The last time we met, Miss Six was fine."

……

"She's not seriously injured?"

There was a hint of exaggerated surprise in the Fifth Lady's tone.

……

Without waiting for the monk to ask, the Fifth Lady continued, "She slipped and fell into the lake."

“When he was rescued, he was already not breathing.”

"Just go."

……

The monk frowned slightly.

"Madam, it sounds like..."

"It seems that he is not sad about the death of the Sixth Miss..."

"Miss Sixth..."

"Is she your biological daughter?"

It is hard not to doubt this from the Fifth Lady's attitude.

……

The fifth lady raised her eyebrows.

"Of course she is my biological daughter."

"I gave birth to you after ten months of pregnancy."

Madam Wu's expression eased a little, "...she was the one who didn't listen."

"Wouldn't it be better to just lock him up in the room?"

"…ran out of the house in the middle of the night…"

"Fell into the river."

"It wasn't discovered in time..."

"Who's to blame?"

"of course."

"The maid who guards the door is also responsible for dereliction of duty."

"Those two maids also received the punishment they deserved."

"They were each given twenty strokes of the cane and are still lying in bed."

As for the two maids, the Fifth Lady spoke even more lightly.

……

The monk pursed his lips slightly.

"...It's been so long since we last saw each other..."

"Has Miss Six ever seen anything scary again?"

……

"have-"

The Fifth Lady blurted out.

Then the Fifth Lady looked unhappy, "Why are you asking this?"

"Master, I know you are compassionate."

"But now that it's done, the person is gone."

"Just leave."

Madam Wu waved her hand.

I don’t want to say more about Miss Six’s matter.

……

The monk looked compassionate. "Fifth Madam, I am destined to be with Sixth Miss."

"I want to put an end to this fate."

"Last time we met, I promised Miss Six that I would appear the next time she got scared."

"I have also asked Madam to come and inform me when the time comes."

"I want to know..."

"Why..."

"Why don't you come and inform me?"

"Last time, Madam..."

"You clearly promised me."

The monk almost bluntly said that the Fifth Lady was not trustworthy.

……

The Fifth Lady's face changed.

"You think I didn't think of sending someone to inform you?"

……

"If you had the intention, why didn't you do it in the end?"

The monk thought of what the old man said before, "Because someone is trying to stop us?"

……

"how do you know?!"

The Fifth Lady blurted out.

His face looked surprised.

……

The monk did not answer the fifth lady's question.

Instead, he continued, "Is it the old lady?"

"Why?"

"I also told the old lady about this last time."

……

The Fifth Lady pursed her lips and said nothing.

……

"Fifth Madam."

The monk stared at the silent Fifth Madam.

"I want to know why the old lady is unwilling to come and inform this poor monk?"

"I have been waiting at the inn."

"No matter what, should your palace send someone to inform this poor monk?"

……

Madam Wu frowned as if she was a little annoyed.

“We didn’t consider this carefully.”

They also didn't expect that this master had actually been waiting in the inn for so many days.

Logically speaking, after a few days of no news, he should have understood what they meant and left.

……

This master is a very sincere person.

……

"Are you willing to tell me the truth?"

The monk insisted on getting an answer.

An answer that made him break his promise with the girl.

……

Madam Wu sighed helplessly, and her tone softened a little, "Master, you are a person from the secular world, and you don't understand the worldly relationships."

……

The monk frowned.

I had some doubts in my heart.

Of course he understood the hidden meaning of Fifth Madam's words.

But I didn't understand what it meant?
He was born into the world and re-entered it.

I believe I have quite some understanding of worldly affairs and human nature.

……

Did he keep his promise or was it his fault?
……

Madam Wu reached out and rubbed her brows.

There was a trace of fatigue and melancholy on his face.

"...The old lady is also thinking about the other children..."

……

What do you mean?
The monk was stunned.

……

"Grandmaster."

Madam Wu sat up straight.

His eyes were bright.

"If Qianqian's madness gets out..."

"What will others think of the other girls in the mansion?"

"Other girls will not be able to find a good husband because they are worried that they might go crazy like Qianqian one day..."

"You must know..."

"A girl's reputation is extremely important."

The Fifth Lady spoke earnestly, "Especially if a girl wants to marry into a good family..."

"There can't be even a blemish on your reputation."

"Who would be willing to accept a daughter-in-law who has a crazy sister?"

"Who knows if this daughter-in-law will be like her sisters in the future..."

"Will he go crazy too?"

……

"Whether a girl marries well or not affects most of her life..."

Madam Wu lowered her eyes.

A girl only stays in her parents' home for a dozen years.

The longer life ahead will be spent in my husband’s family.

The quality of a girl's husband's family determines her happiness for the rest of her life.

For any girl, the choice of her husband's family is extremely - no, the most important thing.

……

"If my marriage is affected because of being implicated..."

Madam Wu raised her hand to support her forehead and said in a low voice, "No one will accept it."

"Old lady... other ladies..."
