Now reading: Chapter 334 - 332 Aunt Wan: Heartache but Dare Not Speak from My Lady Always Lacks Ambition, a Historical novel by Yan Xiaomo.

Mrs. Wang did not expect Qin Liuxi to take an interest in a strange servant and even asked questions about her.

"It’s not your aunt’s accompanying maid. When your aunt got married, your grandmother prepared two accompanying maids for her, both born within the family. This one is a servant from your aunt’s husband’s household; she also managed your aunt’s affairs." Mrs. Wang said, "Your aunt wrote that she is pregnant, just three months along. She was so shocked by the family incident that she nearly miscarried. Now she’s still recuperating and has sent this servant here along with so money and items."

Her spirits lifted, and her intelligence returned as she sensed that Qin Liuxi was not soone to care about strangers, yet she suddenly ntioned that old lady. Out of a sense of fortuitous insight, she asked, "What, is there sothing wrong with this servant?"

She saw that this servant was clever and could speak well, generally soone who would be reused by the main household.

"She speaks sweetly but harbors malice. Since you can ntion it, remind your aunt about her." Qin Liuxi chid in once.

Mrs. Wang felt a jolt in her heart and nodded, "When I prepare the return gifts later, I’ll remind her about it."

As for how to remind her, she had her own ideas.

Qin Liuxi didn’t really care, it was just out of family concern that she ntioned it, whether or not the advice is heeded is up to others.

Mrs. Wang knew her temperant and didn’t continue on this topic. Instead, she brought up the issue of her leg injury, asking with concern, "Is your leg really alright? If it’s very painful, shouldn’t you see a professional doctor to check whether the bones are affected?"

"It’s nothing, it’s just the disturbances caused by the Five Disadvantages and Three Deficiencies, it will heal gradually."

Mrs. Wang was stunned, "Five Disadvantages and Three Deficiencies?"

Qin Liuxi nodded, "As Xuann Taoists, whether out of compassion or using Daoist skills for profit, ultimately revealing Heavenly Secrets ans we bear the karma, and these Five Disadvantages and Three Deficiencies are our burden to shoulder."

Mrs. Wang’s face slightly paled, "Is there no way to avoid it?"

"Heavenly Dao is most just."

Mrs. Wang muttered, lips trembling, "Then you should use Daoist skills less to avoid greater karma."

"Mmm, punishing evil and promoting good, that’s the doctrine of Xuann. I know my limits. Even if I benefit, I dedicate so as incense money for charity to offset so karma, so you needn’t worry too much." Qin Liuxi paused, then added, "The interest from the Coffin Shop will also be allocated to the Daoist Temple for charity."

"There are 365 professions to choose from, why choose one that incurs karma?" Mrs. Wang was still worried, "Or let’s switch to sothing else, or even just lease it out, so you don’t have to bear this karma."

Qin Liuxi felt warmth in her heart and smiled, "It’s alright, the shop is not just about expelling evil and selling talismans. Practicing dicine and saving people is also a way of accumulating rit, so don’t worry."

Mrs. Wang knew she couldn’t be persuaded and sighed, "It’s tough on you, you’re a lady who should be nurtured in seclusion, yet you bear the responsibilities typical of n, we are selfish and useless."

Qin Liuxi wanted to say that her grandfather’s case was being reconsidered through connections, but thinking that she might not know when the opportunity cos and not wanting her to anxiously wait, she swallowed her words.

"Let take your Peace Pulse." Qin Liuxi had Qi Huang bring over the dicine pillow and writing materials.

Mrs. Wang wanted to decline, but under Qin Liuxi’s gaze, dutifully extended her hand.

Qin Liuxi’s cool fingers touched her, and imdiately observed, "Your liver fire is rising, have you been having trouble sleeping at night?"

Mrs. Wang blushed, "I’ve had worries on my mind these past few days, inevitably tossing and turning."

Mrs. Wang, experiencing the hardships of a woman running a business outside, sympathized deeply with the difficulties involved, especially given the Qin family’s current situation with mounting pressures like a fierce flood rushing toward her, making it hard for her to relax and causing restless nights.

Qin Liuxi said, "Excessive worry isn’t good for you, if these worries fester in your heart, your health will gradually decline. Don’t be too fixated, and don’t put too much pressure on yourself."

Mrs. Wang felt a twinge in her nose and almost burst into tears, "As a housekeeper, I have to think about everything for the whole family, big and small; how can I not overthink?"

"The housekeeper is also a human, just being conscientious in doing things is enough. Does any law in Da Feng dictate that a housekeeper must handle everything perfectly?" Qin Liuxi smiled lightly, "You co from a distinguished family, maybe it’s family tradition that makes you think this way, but it’s not necessary. We are rely mortals, not saints, and as mortals, we must accept our imperfections."
