I was a charlatan in India

Chapter 20: Let's just consider it as a training session.

In fact, Dana already knew that Mina was pregnant.

This is not difficult.

A few days ago, Vasudif suddenly came to his door and asked to postpone the wedding. He knew there must be something fishy going on, so he hired someone to monitor Vasudif's movements.

Even if someone is prepared, Vasudiv's visit to the doctor cannot be kept secret.

Although they didn't catch the shady doctor from before, Yandi is a branch of the "Medical Masters" and his surname is Sharma; he is a proper Brahmin.

This was so easy to find.

Testing for information is even simpler.

The Dana sect's men, disguised as Vasudivians, claimed to be asking about the patient's follow-up arrangements. In just a few words, they managed to get the gist of the matter.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't angry, but once the anger subsided, Dana immediately realized the value of the matter.

Combined with the increasingly popular rumors, he instantly realized that Mina was the source of everything.

However, if handled properly...

My God, this Mina could very well become a saintess who carries out miracles, and he could become a protector of the will of the Great Heaven!

This is something no Brahmin wife could compare to!

At that time, caste, social status, and social class will all be irrelevant to him.

No matter how noble your caste is, can it be more noble than Shiva?

Whether this is true or false, with the current level of attention, the entire Naboo family could live off this for a lifetime!

What's wrong with the green dot?

A life without experiencing infidelity is incomplete!

What others cannot tolerate, I, Dana, will accept!

Consider it as her receiving advance technical training!

It's alright!

Therefore, Dana's trip was not to cause trouble; he genuinely intended to marry Mina.

Of course, for Vasudiv and Shenhe, this was undoubtedly a troublesome situation.

Damn it, the victim has arrived.

Vasudiv tensed up instantly; his daughter's premarital pregnancy was already a huge scandal.

Not to mention that Mina is currently heavily pregnant and lying in bed, unable to be seen by anyone.

Vasudiv did see another doctor, but three more left in a row, all looking terrified.

Troublesome rumors soon spread that a holy fetus had appeared in Saraswati's family!

What the hell? Did these doctors actually believe my daughter's nonsense?

He even began to waver, wondering if there really was some kind of evil spirit involved.

Those monks were indeed unreliable. They claimed that the evil spirits had been driven away, but they had only taken a tattered cloth and wrapped it up to carry away the lingam.

A bunch of charlatans and swindlers!

But these rumors are quite sensitive these days, and he really doesn't dare to involve legitimate Brahmanical sects in this matter.

Firstly, his family's caste position is that of priest, and such blasphemous rumors could easily cause trouble.

He really didn't want to provoke anyone before he was fully prepared.

Secondly, if the news were to leak out, he really wouldn't know how to face Dana.

Despite having a higher caste, in India, a woman's loss of chastity is a very serious problem.

If the other party retaliates because of this, not only will his family lose face, but he may also lose his daughter.

Even if the Nabu family doesn't impose sanctions, he would have to be ruthless and kill his daughter to barely preserve the family's reputation.

If things really come to that point, he might be able to be ruthless and do it, but that doesn't mean he wants things to develop that way.

It would be a lie to say that I have no feelings for my daughter.

Although his actions seemed hateful, they were actually a relatively safe outcome for his family and daughter.

Vasudiv felt that the best course of action was to keep Dana in check, secretly abort the child, let her recover, and then figure out a way to fake it to cover it up.

But now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to come out of the house and greet people with a smile as much as possible.

"Brother Dana, please, please have some!"

The living room of Saraswati's house was filled with a deliberately created warmth.

"This is newly arrived date wine from the south, and these ghee biscuits are made with milk from cows that were just milked this morning..."

"Yes, that's right! Speaking of the south, I heard that the price of spices in Magadha has increased by another 30%!"

"Your fleet that went to Watts must have had a very fruitful haul, right?"

Vasudiv's face was stiff.

He tried his best to put on a smile and personally served the vegetables to Dana.

This is extremely unnatural and completely inconsistent with their identities.

Normally, a Vaishya lord wouldn't even be worthy of carrying his own shoes.

Even if Mina is involved, it doesn't end there; at worst, we can just break off all ties.

But right now, he has no choice; this is a very sensitive time.

The air was filled with the expensive fragrance of Kadampa flowers, but it couldn't suppress the fine beads of sweat seeping from Vasudiv's forehead.

Dana sat as still as a mountain.

He picked up a piece of biscuit sprinkled with black pepper and rock salt with his chubby fingers, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly and attentively, with unusual composure.

He did not stop Vasudiv from interrupting him at all.

Business, weather, rumors from the capital...

Dana listened intently to these topics that he had no interest in whatsoever, even nodding occasionally and offering his own unique insights.

Putting aside his appearance, this man is very cultured.

Only when Vasudiv could no longer continue did he put down the food and slowly speak.

"Head of Vasudiv".

He picked up a linen cloth soaked in rose water and wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth.

"Your wide range of interests is truly astonishing."

"However, I have come today for a more important family matter."

He didn't emphasize the word "family matters," but it instantly froze Vasudiv's smile.

"Family matters...yes, family matters, we are a family."

The prospective father-in-law, who was younger than himself, chuckled twice and hurriedly raised his silver cup.

"As for the wedding, I'm already making preparations."

"There's been a bit of a situation at home lately. Mina... caught a cold and needs to rest."

"So I'm thinking, wouldn't it be better to postpone the wedding until she's fully recovered and has a grand wedding?"

As he spoke, he carefully observed Dana's expression.

Dana casually raised his glass, clinked it with Vasudiv's, and even nodded slightly, as if accepting his explanation.

He looked at Vasudiv quietly, his small eyes, hidden in the folds of flesh, calm yet clear.

Dana was not angry about Vasudiv's concealment.

Before he came, he had prepared himself mentally and considered all sorts of possible developments.

In fact, the patriarch's choice to keep it a secret was a good thing for him.

What Dana fears most is being suppressed by the other party using power, which would put him in a very passive position.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Vasudiv's heart, which had been in his throat, finally calmed down a bit.

He forced a more natural smile and was about to pour Dana another drink.

However, the next second, the other person's words made him shudder and his whole body instantly stiffen!

Dana spoke slowly and deliberately, his plump face still bearing that enigmatic amiable expression, in a casual, conversational tone.

"By the way, head of the Vasudiv family."

"I already know about Miss Mina's pregnancy."

"Snap!!"

The glass slammed to the ground, splashing wine everywhere!
