Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160: I Must Never Let Myself Become a Pauper
She now somewhat understands why so many people like visiting temples.
Sometimes, spiritual comfort is really quite useful.
A small dimple appeared at the corner of her lips, and she nodded with a smile: "The master is right, with your good fortune, even a little trouble can be suppressed."
Matthew Saxon pinched her nose and laughed: "You little superstitious one, I’ve told you so much and you didn’t believe it, but a Monk’s words have you convinced immediately. No wonder temples are more prosperous than ever, it seems a lot of people believe in these seemingly convincing words."
"Who wouldn’t want to think positively? Of course, everyone likes to hear good things. If you have a lifetime of wealth and prosperity, wouldn’t I also enjoy the benefits."
He raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile in his eyes: "Why do you only think about enjoying with me, but not going through hardship?"
Scarlett Yates immediately frowned and scolded: "How could you be like this, I’ve just begun to stay with you, and you want me to suffer. Let me tell you, from now on, you have to work hard to earn money and support me; I want to be a glamorous Young Madam all my life. I don’t want to be a down-and-out rich wife."
Among the women Matthew Saxon had met, only Scarlett Yates was so unreservedly realistic.
If it were any other woman, at times like this, they would certainly express their deep affection by declaring they’d stand by him in tough times and wouldn’t leave him even if it meant a lifetime of hardship.
But she’s different, rightfully and openly showcasing her realistic side so thoroughly.
Matthew Saxon laughed: "Scarlett Yates, you really aren’t willing to endure any hardship at all. So tell me, if one day I stop earning money and can’t make you a glamorous Young Madam, what do you plan to do?"
Scarlett Yates replied without much thought: "Then I won’t be with you anymore."
Matthew Saxon: "..."
Scarlett Yates flashed a toothy smile at him: "So, Matthew Saxon, you really can’t let yourself become a pauper."
Mystic Hideaway Temple—
After Matthew Saxon’s group left, a young monk came out and curiously asked his master: "Master, why did you lie to that lady, didn’t you say monks should not tell lies?"
The young monk was referring to the Monk who made Scarlett Yates’ peace charm.
The young monk noticed his master was lying, but he didn’t understand why he did so.
"Nothing is absolute; sometimes lies are necessary. I had to say that for the lady to feel at ease, her husband cares for her and doesn’t want her to worry."
"So, the trouble that gentleman is going to encounter is not a small trouble, right?" The young monk persistently asked.
The Monk was silent for a while, glanced in the direction the couple had left, and only after some time did he slowly say: "This ordeal concerns life and death. Whether he can turn calamities into blessings depends on his own fate."
Concerns life and death?
The young monk furrowed his brow, feeling a bit regretful, shook his head, and couldn’t help but sigh: "That’s such a pity, that gentleman and lady seemed very loving."
Especially that gentleman, in both appearance and demeanor, he could be called a dragon among men.
If such a person were to encounter some mishap, wouldn’t it be quite regretful?

After returning to Saxon Mansion from Mystic Hideaway Temple, it was already very late, almost nearing one in the morning.
