589 Blessing Or Bad Luck (Part 3)

Madam Qiu nodded and left.

Madam Yang smiled and said, “Congratulations, Old Madam Ye. You’re so lucky.”

Old Madam Ye revealed a rare smile. The Ye family had been around for almost six generations, but it was only in her generation that they had a granddaughter. How could this not be a blessing?

Fen Lan also smiled ingratiatingly.

The old Daoist priest entered the room and first sized up the people in the room before making eye contact with Fen Lan. With just a glance, he knew who to praise today.

The old Daoist priest nodded at Old Madam Ye. “Old Madam, you’re really a blessed person. You’re blessed with both fortune and happiness, which is why God sent you such a lucky girl.”

Old Madam Ye revealed a gentle smile. “Daoist priest, you are right. Niuniu is indeed the lucky girl our Ye family has been waiting for for several generations.”

Old Madam Ye gave all her love to Ye Niuniu.

The old Daoist priest couldn’t help but look at Fen Lan. In an instant, he understood that what Fen Lan wanted him to praise was not Niuniu.

Some people had everything they wanted in life from the beginning, but some people had to fight for what they wanted.

The old Daoist priest smiled and waved his hand gently. “Old Madam, the lucky girl I’m talking about is not Ye Niuniu. Of course, Ye Niuniu also brings good luck because she is the first, but I’m referring to the lucky girl who came after her.”

Old Madam Ye frowned.

The old Daoist priest continued. “Old Madam, did anything happen to your family not long ago?”

The smile on Old Madam Ye’s face disappeared. She nodded calmly. “Yes.”

The old Daoist priest smiled. “That’s right. Old Madam, please listen to me. She can bring prosperity to the family and everything will go according to your wishes. When I was outside, I saw that there were signs of her leaving, so I knocked on the door to remind you.”

Old Madam Ye frowned deeply. It was unknown if she believed him or not.

From the beginning to the end, Yingying was obediently standing at the side. She lowered her head gently and was quiet.

Fen Lan revealed a conflicted and hesitant expression. “Old Madam, this old Daoist priest can’t be trusted. It’s our wish that Yingying can have a good marriage.”

The old Daoist priest looked at Fen Lan in surprise and frowned, as if he was a little angry. “Madam, you can choose not to believe me, but don’t say that I’m lying. I swear to the heavens that I mean every word I say. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I won’t joke with anyone’s life.”

Old Madam Ye recalled what had happened at home recently and felt a little at a loss. She did not know if she should believe him or not.

Fen Lan also seemed to be frightened. “Old Daoist, don’t scare us. It’s not that serious. If you didn’t come today, nothing would have happened, right? Even if something happened, it would have been resolved.”

The old Daoist priest shook his head. “Not exactly.”

“I go where fate brings me. That’s how we Daoists do things. Yesterday, I was begging for food in the village outside the city. Today, I entered the city and happened to walk past your house. This is fate. Otherwise, why didn’t I arrive a month ago or a month later? Why did I have to come today? It was because the heavens wanted me to send you a message. Believe me or not, it is all up to you.”

The old Daoist priest spoke eloquently. This was a piece of cake for him. He had to beg many people every day. If he wanted someone to give him money or food, he had to know how to speak.

He looked at the people in the room who were stunned by his words and felt abnormally satisfied.

“I won’t say anything else. Old Madam, please be kind and give me a bowl of rice. I have to leave today. The journey is still long. ”

The old Daoist priest spoke sincerely. Although he asked for a bowl of rice, his attitude was neither servile nor overbearing.

As Old Madam Ye listened, her expression was serious, as if she was thinking carefully about something.

Fen Lan pretended to be nervous. She pulled Yingying to the side and lowered her head, looking like she would accept whatever the Ye family said.

Madam Zhao, who was beside Old Madam Ye, gritted her teeth. Her heart was in turmoil and she did not know what to think.

“Grandma.”

Ye Niuniu ran in with red eyes and threw herself into Old Madam Ye’s arms.

Madam Qiu looked embarrassed and walked towards Old Madam Ye and Madam Zhao.

Liu Sanniang also walked in. Just now, outside the door, they all heard the old man’s words. Ye Niuniu’s eyes immediately turned red. After the old Daoist priest finished speaking, she pounced into Old Madam Ye’s arms.

When Old Madam Ye heard Ye Niuniu’s crying voice, she sighed. When she saw Liu Sanniang, her eyes lit up. Perhaps Liu Sanniang had a way to make the best of both worlds.

What the old Daoist priest said made sense. She believed 50% of it.

Old Madam Ye looked at Madam Yang and said, “I’m really sorry. I think we’ll have to discuss the engagement another day.”

Madam Wu and Wu Hui were also very embarrassed, and so was Madam Yang. However, they couldn’t get angry in such a situation. They smiled and said, “It’s alright, it’s alright. Good things take time to happen.”

Madam Yang left with Madam Wu and Wu Hui. Madam Qiu quickly followed and sent Madam Yang and the others out with a smile. After they left, Madam Qiu closed the courtyard door.
