590 Belief In Fate
She knew Old Madam Ye very well. Family matters had to be resolved behind closed doors.
Madam Qiu returned to the main hall and nodded at Old Madam Ye before standing beside Madam Zhao.
The old Daoist priest was calm and composed. He could tell what Old Madam Ye was up to. He could not help but have a plan. Perhaps he could also get some money from Old Madam Ye.
Who would complain about having too much money?
Liu Sanniang walked to the Daoist priest’s side and said calmly, “Do you believe in fate?”
When the old Daoist priest heard the voice, he realized that there was a little girl beside him. He took a look and felt that this little girl was really too calm. She looked young, but her composed and mature tone was as if she had experienced everything in the world.
The old Daoist priest smiled and nodded. “Of course, I believe it.”
Old Madam Ye could not sit still. “Sanniang, what should we do?”
She couldn’t bring herself to say that she wanted to keep Fen Lan and her daughter. If she kept them, she would be letting Madam Zhao down.
However, she was in a dilemma. In the past two days, everyone in the family had met with an accident. Could it be that they were really unlucky because they wanted to send Fen Lan and her daughter away?
Old Madam Ye was conflicted.
The old Daoist priest looked at Liu Sanniang and was vigilant.
He said calmly, “Old Madam, why are you so conflicted? No one in this world will chase away good luck. If good luck is gone, there will only be bad luck left.”
Fen Lan pulled Yingying to kneel down and said sincerely, “Old Madam, I don’t know if Yingying is blessed or not. I came because I hoped that Yingying could have a family to rely on. What this old Daoist priest said made me worried. Old Madam, please let us stay. It’s fine even if we stay in the woodshed.”
Old Madam Ye frowned.
She looked at Liu Sanniang. “Sanniang, do you think there’s another way?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Old Madam Ye calmly. “Granny Ye, you don’t have to worry about something that doesn’t exist.”
Something that doesn’t exist? Old Madam Ye looked at Liu Sanniang suspiciously.
Liu Sanniang looked at the old Daoist priest and said calmly, “I believe in fate too.”
The old Daoist priest frowned and pretended to be mysterious. “Be careful with what you say. I think Old Madam trusts you very much. If you lie, you will be d.a.m.ned.”
The old Daoist priest’s tone was solemn and deep, as if he was lecturing an insensible junior.
Liu Sanniang’s expression was still calm as she looked at the old Daoist priest. Such a calm gaze made the old Daoist priest feel a little strange. He frowned.
Liu Sanniang said slowly, “Your parents died when you were young, and you didn’t have a smooth life. When you were old, you begged for a living. It is difficult for you to keep money because you are destined to be poor.”
The old Daoist priest looked into Liu Sanniang’s eyes and was defeated almost instantly. Under his wide Daoist robe, his hands were trembling. He was sure that he had never seen Liu Sanniang, but she could summarize his life perfectly. In just a few sentences, she described his entire life in a nutsh.e.l.l.
But on this day, he had been paid to do things for others. He could not back down. He pretended to be angry. “Ridiculous. I’ve never seen such a ridiculous person.”
The old Daoist priest’s expression darkened. He no longer looked at Liu Sanniang, afraid that he would panic.
If not for the fact that he was acting, he would have begged Liu Sanniang to tell him if there was a way to change his fate.
Liu Sanniang looked at the old Daoist priest with a calm expression and said, “You believe in fate, and so do I. There’s something you’re right about. Fate is neither the past nor the future. It’s the present. You walked past this house because the heavens wanted you to deliver a message. Do you want to know why you’ll suffer for the rest of your life?”
The old Daoist priest turned to look at Liu Sanniang.
At this moment, the old Daoist priest lowered his head humbly and said in a trembling voice, “Master, please enlighten me. This is something I can’t figure out. My life has been too difficult. I’m hardworking, but why am I still like this?”
When he said these words, it meant he had admitted that what he said before was all a lie.
Old Madam Ye came back to her senses and her expression became angry.
Madam Qiu shouted fiercely. “So, you’re a liar!”
Fen Lan lowered her head with a sinister expression. Her plan had been ruined by Liu Sanniang.
Yingying lowered her voice and whispered to Fen Lan. “Mother, don’t worry. I’ll definitely think of a way. We don’t have to be so humble. We can get everything we want.”
She felt that she was about to figure out what the way was, but there was still something missing. What could she do to become powerful and not be afraid of anything?
After being exposed, the old Daoist priest lowered his head guiltily. However, Liu Sanniang’s words made him believe in fate.
Otherwise, why would he meet Fen Lan? Why didn’t Fen Lan choose anyone else? If he didn’t meet Fen Lan, he wouldn’t have come to the Ye family, so he naturally wouldn’t have met Liu Sanniang.
He had worked hard all his life and had suffered too much injustice. He wanted an answer. Now that Liu Sanniang had reached out to him, the old Daoist priest didn’t hesitate to admit he was lying.
Madam Qiu shouted. “You old liar, get out of my house!”
The old Daoist priest suddenly looked up at Liu Sanniang and begged. “Master, please enlighten me. As long as you can, I’ll tell Old Madam a secret.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Sure.”
