Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

After coming to Baocheng, He Daqing tried his best not to mention anything about the Siheyuan in Beijing. Even though his cooking skills were good and some of the people he served were officials, he was too guilty to ask, fearing that it would lead to trouble. Now, hearing He Yushui say this, how could he not be excited?

He Yushui said, "Dad, if you really have any problems, do you think they won't come to Baocheng to find you and arrest you? The fact that nothing has happened for so many years proves everything!"

He Daqing slapped his thigh and suddenly realized, "That's right, why didn't I think of that!"

Learning that he was okay, He Daqing was very excited. After all, Baocheng was not Siheyuan in Beijing, and many aspects were incomparable. The He family had always lived in Siheyuan in Beijing, and who would be willing to leave their hometown unless they had no other choice?

After the excitement, He Daqing asked, "Yushui, what are you going to do about Yi Zhonghai's matter?"

He Yushui didn't even think about it and said directly, "What else can I do? Call the police, of course. I must send him in!"

If it had been before, He Yushui would have considered making Yi Zhonghai pay until he was penniless. But now, with Xu Damao as a variable, Yi Zhonghai had long run out of money. The only thing worth considering was those two rooms, which were connected to her side room, so that Silly Zhu would have a place to live when he came back!

But after thinking about it carefully, if she called the police, wouldn't Yi Zhonghai's house still be hers? After all, Yi Zhonghai didn't even have the money for compensation!

Therefore, no matter what, she had to send Yi Zhonghai in, so that the original owner could rest in peace!!!

After a moment of silence, He Daqing said in a deep voice, "It may be difficult to punish him by calling the police. You don't know the old deaf woman in the backyard. She is not a simple person!"

Hearing this, He Yushui immediately perked up. The old deaf woman's background was mysterious. She ate and wore well, and she was particularly picky about food. After He Yushui transmigrated, the person she was most afraid of besides Xu Damao was the old deaf woman.

She thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out the old deaf woman's identity. If she was a remnant of the old dynasty, then why did the old deaf woman have bound feet! (The previous text mentioned that Xu Damao said that the old deaf woman was a remnant of the old dynasty, and now a specific explanation is given!)

After all, Manchus do not bind their feet!

"Isn't she just an old woman with bound feet? Does she have some special identity?" He Yushui asked.

He Daqing shook his head gently and said, "You're thinking too simply. The old deaf woman was originally the mistress of a nobleman from the Eight Banners. She was not well-liked by those wives and concubines. Fortunately, she gave birth to a son, and that nobleman didn't treat him badly. He gave her a lot of private money. The old deaf woman was unwilling to live like this for the rest of her life, so she started a business. Small businesses were easy to do in Siheyuan in Beijing, but she didn't have a share in big businesses. She had no choice but to take a risky path and open a brothel!"

He Daqing paused, glanced at He Yushui awkwardly, and continued after seeing that He Yushui had no reaction, "Gradually, the old deaf woman gained a firm foothold. However, her son was a short-lived ghost. He went to join the army, but unexpectedly died on the battlefield!"

He Yushui asked, "Our army?"

He Daqing shook his head, smiled softly, and after seeing He Yushui's suddenly enlightened expression, He Daqing took a heavy puff of his cigarette.

"Before the founding of the country, she saved some people by chance, which also earned her enough favors. That's how she got her status as a 'five guarantees' household!" He Daqing said slowly.

At this point, He Yushui also understood the old deaf woman's background. Although she was not a Manchu, she was inseparable from those remnants of the old dynasty. Her biggest backing now should be those people who had been saved by her.

These people were probably in high positions, so in He Daqing's opinion, it would be difficult for Yi Zhonghai to get the punishment he deserved if he reported this matter to the police.

But He Yushui didn't think so. To deal with Yi Zhonghai, you just needed to use the right method.

Seeing that He Daqing had come to his senses, He Yushui continued to fan the flames, "Dad, logically speaking, the White Widow followed you at a young age, didn't you have another child?"

He Daqing shook his head and said, "I wanted to have one too, after all, those three kids of hers are not my own!!!!!"

He Yushui smiled slightly and said, "Hey, it's really hard for you, after all, even Dorgon couldn't handle it, let alone you!!!!!"

He Daqing smiled awkwardly, but soon an angry look reappeared on his face.

He Yushui said regretfully, "After Jia Dongxu died, that Qin Widow in our courtyard found out that she was pregnant, and immediately got an IUD after giving birth. It's a pity that Silly Ge is confused and doesn't understand people's hearts!"

Hearing this, He Daqing immediately became excited. That Qin Widow was aiming for the He family to be childless. No matter how bastard he, He Daqing, was, he had a son and a daughter. Could Silly Zhu compare to him?

"Didn't you talk to Silly Zhu properly!" He Daqing said with gritted teeth.

He Yushui sighed and said, "I did, why wouldn't I? I told him about the Qin Widow and the old deaf woman's childless scheme. In the end, Silly Ge scolded me for not having sympathy. I said it a few more times, and the result was still the same! If I keep going, I'm afraid Silly Zhu and I will become estranged, so I don't dare to say it anymore!"

He Daqing looked at He Yushui with heartache and said, "Daughter, you've really been wronged!"

Perhaps influenced by the original owner's emotions, a tear fell from He Yushui's eyes.

He Yushui wiped away her tears and said, "Dad, now that all the truth is clear, that White Widow is not reliable at all, and I can't control Silly Ge. You don't really want the He family to be childless, do you?"

He Daqing said excitedly, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

He Daqing lit another cigarette, thought for a moment, and said, "I will break up with the White Widow. After I finish dealing with the matters in Baocheng, I will return to Siheyuan in Beijing!"

He Yushui nodded with satisfaction and said, "Dad, actually, you don't necessarily have to return to Siheyuan in Beijing!"

"Oh? What are you thinking?" He Daqing asked.

He Yushui said, "Someone like Silly Ge gets schemed against without even knowing it. He has been on blind dates a few times before, but they were all ruined by the Qin Widow and Yi childless old geezer. Now that he has lost his house in the courtyard, isn't that a good thing?"
