Shen Zhilie took one glance at her before entering the kitchen, his lips curled up into a smile.

“Qianqian,” Old Mrs. Shen called out again.

Ye Qianqian’s body tensed up even more. “Yes, Grandmother. I’m here,” she replied.

“Don’t be nervous. Am I very terrifying?” Old Mrs. Shen watched her with a seemingly exasperated look on her face. “Although I might be harsh with you at times, you don’t need to be so afraid when you’re around me.”

Ye Qianqian laughed. She felt so awkward that she was at a loss for words.

“That’s right, that’s right. I’m afraid,” she thought. “After all, she’s not just ‘a little’ harsh to me.”

When Old Mrs. Shen saw Ye Qianqian’s reaction, she laughed and said, “You saw my friends just now, didn’t you?”

“Yes, I saw them.”

“Dongfang is a good friend of mine. We’ve known each other for several decades. She likes you very much.”

Old Mrs. Shen was referring to Grandmother Dongfang, who had spoken to Ye Qianqian earlier.

Ye Qianqian looked at Old Mrs. Shen.

Old Mrs Shen stared at Ye Qianqian’s face and nodded her head before saying, “You have pretty decent looks, and your face reveals good fortune. I’ve also liked you a lot from the first time I saw you.”

As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Ye Qianqian’s hands.

Ye Qianqian noticed the Old Madam’s gaze and quickly turned her hands over.

There was a red line on both of her palms. It wasn’t deep. In fact, it was very faint.

Old Mrs. Shen took a closer look. “Hmm?”

Out of shock, Ye Qianqian subconsciously pulled her hands away.

“Let me take a look.” Old Mrs Shen stood up and walked over to Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian was slightly afraid, and she cowered as she watched Old Mrs. Shen move toward her.

Old Mrs. Shen felt quite unhappy when she saw Ye Qianqian’s reaction.

“What’s there to be afraid of?” she muttered. “It’s not like I’m going to eat you.”

She reached out her hands and grabbed hold of Ye Qianqian’s wrists.

Ye Qianqian unconsciously opened up her hands, and the faint red line quickly appeared in Old Mrs. Shen’s line of sight.

“It’s faded away.”

Looking at it, Old Mrs. Shen asked, “How did you get this?”

“I...” Ye Qianqian looked at her palms. “I don’t know.”

“Besides, did it really fade away? Why didn’t I feel anything?” she thought.

“It’s great that it has faded away. In fact, it’s really great that it has faded away,” the Old Madam said.

“It made me feel as though I were possessed...” Ye Qianqian thought, feeling the hairs rise on the back of her neck. “This Old Madam is dangerous!”

Although Old Lady Shen had only said a few words, Ye Qianqian was already scared to death. She pulled her hand away and glanced at it too. “Has it faded away?” she thought.

Perhaps because Ye Qianqian had been staring at it every day, she didn’t realized that it had hanged much.

Old Mrs. Shen stared at her for a very long time before asking suddenly, “When do you intend to get married?”

“Huh?” Ye Qianqian was unable to respond.

“I’m asking when you intend to get married. Zhilie is no longer young. It’s not good to keep dragging things on.”

Feeling a little confused, she said, “Didn’t... didn’t you forbid us to get married...”

“Nonsense!” There was a reproachful look on Old Mrs. Shen’s face as she said, “Didn’t you already spend the New Year in our house? Did you think that I would invite any random person to come over to eat and stay in our house? I only allowed you to because you’re my future granddaughter-in-law.”

Ye Qianqian laughed awkwardly before saying, “Is that so? Haha...”

“What do you think, then?” As Old Mrs. Shen spoke, she pulled out an old copy of the almanac calendar from below the table and said, “Let me look at the dates. Dongfang said that it’ll be suitable for Zhilie to hold the wedding during Spring. It’s not the New Year yet, so we’re just in time to make preparations for this!”

Ye Qianqian merely felt as though she had bumped into a ghost. “This Old Madam changes too quickly!”

However, just when this thought popped into her head, she heard the Old Madam lament, “Since Zhilie is unwilling to listen to me, I might as well allow you guys to get married. You can always get a divorce when you want to in the future.”
