TL: Moonlit

Wu Mengying heard the neighbors’ words and cried even harder.

But her parents showed no signs of remorse. They muttered, “I let her go to high school, isn’t that enough?”

Wu Meng Ying lowered her head, unsure if she had grown accustomed to such treatment or if she was simply too disappointed. She remained silent.

Qi Lan Hong quickly consoled her in a low voice, “Don’t be sad, Master Shen will help you, and I will help you too. Let’s go to school together and find work to earn tuition and living expenses. If your parents dare to stop you or lock you up, we’ll call the police!”

Wu Meng Ying was already deeply disappointed in her parents. She nodded in response to Qi Lan Hong’s words but remained silent.

Shen Ye glanced at Wu Meng Ying and said, “Even if your parents try to force you into a sinister marriage and lock you up, you can still call the police.”

Wu Meng Ying was taken aback.

Shen Ye looked at her expressionlessly.

After some time passed, Wu Meng Ying choked and said, “Forget it…”

Shen Ye’s face turned cold.

This kind of family dispute was similar to domestic violence—when the victim called the police while being beaten, but then the spouse would immediately plead for mercy and demand the police to release the person.

Shen Ye didn’t know what others thought, but he believed that such people weren’t worth helping.

While specific situations required individual analysis, Shen Ye always valued the victim’s own thoughts when helping others.

Now, Wu Meng Ying’s situation was similar. Her parents had sold her, and she didn’t even dare to call the police.

Even if he helped her now, if her parents continued to harass her in the future, she would likely be controlled by them again.

In the end, she needed to become strong on her own.

Shen Ye swept his gaze over Wu Meng Ying’s face and asked her, “Do you think that since your parents raised you for over ten years, you want to repay their kindness and not hold them accountable this time? Or is it that you can’t bear to see your parents being imprisoned?”

There was a difference between the two. If Wu Meng Ying forgave her parents to repay their kindness, Shen Ye could understand. But if it was out of softness, he felt that Wu Meng Ying might be bothered by her parents again in the future.

Wu Meng Ying lowered her head and said, “They raised me, so I’ll consider it as repaying their kindness…”

As for the future, she definitely wouldn’t have any further contact with her parents. At most, when they grew old, she would send them money for their retirement.

Shen Ye was quite satisfied with her answer and said, “Alright, let’s consider the matter settled. I won’t call the police.”

Wu Meng Ying expressed her gratitude to him.

On the other side, upon hearing Wu Meng Ying’s words, Father Wu erupted in anger and cursed at her, pointing a finger at her, “What do you mean? Are you teaming up with outsiders to bully your own parents? Why don’t you just die!”

Mother Wu glared at Wu Meng Ying resentfully, as if she wanted to devour her.

Shen Ye sneered. Although he had promised not to call the police, it didn’t mean he would let Father Wu and Mother Wu off the hook.

His gaze shifted to Boss Yao.

Upon seeing Shen Ye and Ye Ze, Boss Yao tried his best to hide behind his bodyguards, fearing that Shen Ye and Ye Ze would target him.

Now that he had been noticed by Shen Ye, he shrunk his neck and cautiously said, “Master Shen, Mr. Ye… I… I meant no harm…”

Shen Ye scanned his face and said, “Regardless of whether you meant harm or not, engaging in a ghost marriage is not something a normal person would do.”

Boss Yao’s expression changed slightly, and he didn’t dare to argue. Internally, he felt a bit frustrated.

In his opinion, he genuinely had no ill intentions. His son passed away early, and recently he had a dream in which his son asked him to find a girl for a yin marriage. His son had said that a yin marriage wouldn’t affect the girl’s life in the yang world, and she would still be able to get married and have children in the future.

He treated it as a mere formality and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, so he quickly took action. Last month, he asked someone to find Master Yin and requested him to find a suitable girl for a yin marriage, compatible with his son’s birth chart.

Master Yin readily agreed and, within a week, found a suitable match.

Boss Yao and the Wu family met, and since the Wu family was willing, Boss Yao was satisfied as well. He even generously gave the Wu family several million yuan and a house within the second ring road of the city.

Initially, this was a mutually agreed-upon matter, and Boss Yao didn’t think he had done anything wrong.

But for some reason, at this moment, facing Shen Ye and Ye Ze, he inexplicably felt guilty.

Shen Ye glanced at him and said, “In reality, you are also a victim.”

Boss Yao was taken aback.

“Your son’s dream was fake. Master Yin fabricated the dream to deceive you. He wanted to use you to harm Wu Meng Ying. You thought that Wu Meng Ying would be fine after marrying your son in a yin marriage, but in reality, Master Yin intended to take her life. Wu Meng Ying was born in a yin year, yin month, and yin day, with strong yin energy. If she were to marry your son and become a yin couple, they would become a complete embodiment of yin energy. Master Yin wanted to devour Wu Meng Ying’s yin energy, and once all the yin energy in her was absorbed, she would turn into a lifeless corpse, completely devoid of life,” Shen Ye explained.

Boss Yao couldn’t believe his ears. “Master Yin deceived me?!”

He looked toward Master Yin.

Master Yin didn’t meet his gaze, but his face grew even darker.

This confirmed that Shen Ye was right, and Master Yin had indeed been using him.

Boss Yao was in a daze and couldn’t even utter a word.

Shen Ye thought Boss Yao was quite foolish, but then he realized that Boss Yao was an ordinary person who had been targeted by a Taoist priest, making it difficult for him to defend himself.

He paused for a moment and said, “Put your matters aside for now. I will settle the score with you later. Let’s talk about the grievances between you and the Wu family. Your son’s yin marriage is definitely off the table, but the Wu family has taken your money and house. Aren’t you planning to take them back?”

Boss Yao was involved in significant business and was also a smart person. As soon as he understood Shen Ye’s intention, he realized what he needed to do.

“Of course, I will take them back. That’s hard-earned money! You, Mr. Wu, the contract between us is broken. Return the money to me. I will have my lawyer handle this matter. If you don’t return it, be prepared to receive a court summons!” Boss Yao declared.

Mr. Wu wasn’t afraid of a court summons; he hadn’t realized that it could land him in jail. However, he understood that Boss Yao wanted to take back the money and house, and he couldn’t accept that. The house was meant for his son’s future wife, and as for the five million yuan, their family had already bought a car worth 600,000 yuan and had plans to demolish their old house to build a villa, which would cost over a hundred thousand yuan. If they were to return everything, they would be short of one million yuan, and their family couldn’t come up with that much money.

“No way! I’ve already given my daughter to your Yao family. You can’t ask for a refund! We signed a contract, and you can’t break it!” Mr. Wu said, glaring fiercely at Shen Ye and Wu Meng Ying.

If Shen Ye hadn’t intervened, Boss Yao wouldn’t have asked them to return the money. It’s all this person’s fault!

And his daughter, Wu Meng Ying, is also ungrateful, not listening to his words!

Shen Ye glanced at Mr. Wu and said to Qi Lan Hong and Wu Meng Ying, “Get in the car.”

Later, Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu would definitely explode at Wu Meng Ying. It would be better for Wu Meng Ying to avoid them sooner.

Qi Lan Hong nodded and immediately supported Wu Meng Ying as they walked toward the car.

Wu Meng Ying didn’t object and followed Qi Lan Hong without even looking at Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu.

But Mrs. Wu couldn’t accept it and shouted, “You can’t leave! You have to stay!”

She knew very well that if her daughter ran away, they would have to return the money and the house to Boss Yao. She didn’t want to let go of such a lucrative deal.

Wu Meng Ying remained silent, not turning back, and walked straight ahead.

Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu were furious and wanted to grab her back.

Shen Ye quickly had the Ye family’s bodyguards restrain them, then turned to Boss Yao and said, “You deal with this yourself. If you handle it well, I might spare you.”

He hadn’t reported to the police earlier because he wanted Boss Yao to deal with Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu.

Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu sold Wu Meng Ying and received money and a house in return. Now, he indirectly suggested that Boss Yao should take back the money and the house. It would be a great loss if Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu didn’t suffer.

Receiving Shen Ye’s hint, Boss Yao turned to Mr. Wu and said, “Return the money and the house within two days, or I will sue you. Don’t forget, I had someone draft the contract, and it clearly states that if you breach it, you not only have to return everything but also pay a two-million-yuan penalty. If you can’t pay, you’ll end up in jail!”

Mr. Wu couldn’t believe it and rolled up his sleeves, ready to attack Boss Yao. “What? Two million penalty? Why don’t you go rob?!”

Boss Yao wasn’t afraid of him and had his own bodyguards stop him, sneering, “Yes, two million yuan, not a penny less. If you don’t believe it, you can try. I have ways to make you go to jail!”

Mr. Wu was furious but restrained by Boss Yao’s bodyguards. He could only grumble and curse.

Boss Yao no longer paid attention to Mr. Wu and turned to Shen Ye, asking obsequiously, “Is this handling satisfactory?”

Shen Ye nodded, “Just make sure you get the money back from them.”

Boss Yao swore to the heavens that he wouldn’t forget, and he also proposed another idea, saying, “If Wu Meng Yin agrees, I’m willing to support her through university. After that, if she wants to pursue postgraduate studies or work, I can also support her. She can even come to work at my company.”

Shen Ye pondered for a moment and thought it was feasible.

Ultimately, Boss Yao had also been deceived by Master Yin, and he wanted to make amends, which Shen Ye understood.

But it still depended on Wu Meng Ying’s willingness. After all, Boss Yao was indirectly responsible for her being sold. She might not agree.

Shen Ye said, “Okay, I’ll ask Wu Meng Ying about her thoughts first.”

As expected, Wu Meng Ying wasn’t very willing. She said she could work part-time to support herself and could take a loan for her tuition fees.

Qi Lan Hong also chimed in, “I’ll help Meng Ying!”

Since Wu Meng Ying didn’t want to accept Boss Yao’s help, Shen Ye wouldn’t force her. He had already planned to help Wu Meng Ying with the assistance of the Ye family’s foundation. They would establish contact with Wu Meng Ying.

Boss Yao didn’t insist either and said, “Then I’ll donate the money I received from the Wu family.”

He was determined to redeem himself.

Shen Ye thought Boss Yao’s approach was acceptable.

Boss Yao had dreamt about not causing any harm to Wu Meng Yao after his son’s message, which led him to agree to a ghost marriage. He also intended to treat Wu Meng Ying as a real daughter-in-law and wouldn’t mistreat her. He was completely unaware that Master Yin intended to take Wu Meng Ying’s life.

In this matter, he was at fault, but he was also a victim.

“That’s settled then. Do more good deeds in the future,” Shen Ye decided to let Boss Yao off the hook.

Boss Yao was overjoyed and kept thanking Shen Ye profusely.

Speaking softly to Ye Ze, Shen Ye said, “Let’s go, let’s leave this place first.”

The matter was mostly resolved. Boss Yao would donate the money as an act of redemption, and Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu not only had to return the money and the house given by Boss Yao but also pay a two-million-yuan penalty. The only remaining issue was dealing with Master Yin.

After getting in the car, Shen Ye used a spell on Master Yin, and Master Yin obediently followed them outside.

“This Master Yin set up his Taoist temple at the Zhu family’s ancestral tomb. Originally, he planned to take Wu Meng Ying to the graveyard tonight for some ritual. If we hadn’t come to stop him today, the Zhu family’s ancestral tomb would have become his temple, and the Feng Shui of the Zhu family would have been completely ruined, causing misfortune to future generations of the Zhu family.” In the car, Shen Ye and Ye Ze discussed this matter.

Ye Ze was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Master Yin to be involved with the Zhu family’s ancestral tomb.

Shen Ye held onto his arm and said, “Let’s find a place to stay tonight. I’ll deal with Master Yin tomorrow when the Zhu family arrives.”

Ye Ze had no objections and gently touched Shen Ye’s face. “I’ve already arranged a place. Let’s go there now.”

While Shen Ye dealt with the Wu family, Ye Ze had already confirmed the accommodation with the mayor. The mayor happened to have an empty house available for them to stay in.

Shen Ye smiled and kissed Ye Ze on the lips. “My husband is really capable.”

Ye Ze chuckled and pulled him into his embrace, deepening the kiss.
