580 Bad Luck (Part 3)
However, had he fallen on the old tree stump, it might not just have been a leg injury.
When Second Master Ye heard that, he also chipped in. “Brother, you had this feeling too? I also felt it. I thought I was overthinking. I seemed to be supported when I fell, so I didn’t feel any pain.”
Old Madam Ye found it unbelievable and could only think that her ancestors had saved her sons from danger.
“Mother, my leg is fine. I’ll be fine after recuperating for a day or two.”
First Master Ye was worried that Old Madam Ye would be worried about him, so he said with a smile.
He had suffered some pain. Although it was not a big deal, he was no longer a young man and couldn’t take much pain.
Old Madam Ye started making arrangements. “Tianming, stay here with your mother to take care of your father. I’ll get Tianyu and Tianhui to come over to replace you tomorrow.”
Madam Geng nodded. She would definitely stay to take care of her husband while he was recuperating.
When Old Madam Ye saw this, she was relieved. She also needed people to clean up the house, so she took the others back.
After Liu Erlang sent Ye Niuniu back, she was obviously in a better mood. She blushed. “Erlang, thank you.”
Liu Erlang waved his hand. “There’s no need to thank me.”
After watching Ye Niuniu enter the house, Liu Erlang went back.
Hu Yu watched from the side and couldn’t help but sigh. Why was the second brother of Venerable Liu so sweet? He was really a good man. Ye Niuniu was also innocent and lovable.
When Ye Niuniu returned home, she realized that her family was not around. There was movement in the kitchen. She thought that someone was in the kitchen. Ye Niuniu went to the kitchen. “Mother, is that you?”
When she saw that Yingying was busy in the kitchen, Ye Niuniu’s smile froze.
Yingying looked at Ye Niuniu and smiled, looking like she was trying to please her. “The others have gone out.”
Ye Niuniu nodded and left.
When she returned to her room, she felt upset.
Her eyes turned red and she wanted to cry. Why did it become like this?
She found it hard to accept, but there was no way to change it.
Yingying watched as Ye Niuniu left. Her eyes were filled with jealousy and unwillingness. They were both girls, but why was Ye Niuniu the pampered one?
Jealousy made her go out of the kitchen, return to the woodshed, and take out the jar. She looked a little afraid, but she opened it. “Can you go and scare her for me? I hate her so much.”
A ball of black smoke came out of the jar. Seeing the black smoke, Yingying seemed to be very resistant and afraid, but the black smoke wrapped around her intimately.
Yingying held back her tears. “Will you really fulfill my wish? If so, let her have the worst kind of nightmare, okay?”
The kind of nightmare that she had experienced.
She was also a girl. If she was the one being protected from a young age, she would also be innocent. If the one experiencing that nightmare was Ye Niuniu, she wouldn’t be happy, right?
The black smoke floated out of the woodshed.
Hu Yu immediately went to protect Ye Niuniu. She formed a barrier to protect Ye Niuniu and could feel an evil force trying to break the barrier.
Hu Yu frowned. How could this force be so powerful? It seemed to have sensed that someone was protecting Ye Niuniu and suddenly expanded. It broke through the barrier and rushed into Ye Niuniu’s forehead.
Ye Niuniu, who was lying on the bed and crying silently, suddenly stopped moving.
Hu Yu retracted her power and went to turn Ye Niuniu over. Ye Niuniu seemed to be asleep, but Hu Yu knew that something was wrong.
Yingying had already gone to cook as if nothing had happened.
When Liu Yuanyuan returned, Hu Yu quickly said to her, “Something happened. Ye Niuniu seems to have been possessed by a nightmare and can’t wake up.”
Liu Yuanyuan frowned. “I followed that woman. That woman found a beggar to pretend to be a Daoist priest and will come to the Ye family in two days. She wants the old beggar to say that Yingying is a lucky mascot. If the Ye family sends the mother and daughter away, they will suffer for the rest of their lives.”
Hu Yu spat in disdain. “Shameless. Neither the mother nor daughter is good.”
Hu Yu also told Liu Yuanyuan what Yingying had secretly done.
All the misfortune was caused by this mother and daughter, but they still had the cheek to call themselves a lucky mascot.
Now, it was clear that Fen Lan and her daughter were here with an ulterior motive.
Hu Yu thought for a moment and said, “Go back and tell Venerable Liu. I’ll stay here for the next few nights. If anything happens, I’ll send a message to you.”
Liu Yuanyuan nodded.
It was already dark. Hu Yu stayed behind because she was afraid that something would happen tonight, while Liu Yuanyuan returned to the Liu family.
When Fen Lan returned, she went to the kitchen to help Yingying cook.
Not long after, the Ye family returned.
Fen Lan said ingratiatingly, “We don’t know what we can do to thank you for being good to us, so we cleaned up the house and cooked.”
Old Madam Ye looked at Fen Lan’s fawning smile. Perhaps because Fen Lan had already achieved her goal, she was no longer so humble as to call herself a servant and an animal. Now, she looked more normal and more pleasing to the eye.
Old Madam Ye said, “Set the table.”
“Is Niuniu back?”
Old Madam Ye asked with concern.
Yingying said in a low voice, “She’s back. She went back to her room.”
Old Madam Ye walked towards Ye Niuniu’s room and saw Ye Niuniu lying on the bed. Old Madam Ye called her, “Niuniu, get up. It’s time to eat.”
Ye Niuniu did not move. Old Madam Ye thought that she did not want to eat, so she said, “You don’t want to eat, right? Then, rest well. If you’re hungry in the middle of the night, I’ll fix you something to eat.”
Recently, Ye Niuniu had been in a bad mood, so her appetite was not as good as before. Old Madam Ye did not continue to call her. After all, she had suffered a blow and needed time to adjust.
Fen Lan and her daughter naturally did not sit at the table.
Old Madam Ye didn’t care about them. First Master Ye had already said that he had talked to the matchmaker and that the matter would be settled soon. For the time being, they just needed to pretend that the two of them did not exist.
Old Madam Ye quietly walked out of Ye Niuniu’s room. Everyone was waiting for her to come back to eat. Old Madam Ye went in and sat down. “Let’s eat.”
After dinner, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
…
When Liu Yuanyuan returned to the Liu family, the first thing she did was tell Liu Sanniang about what happened. Liu Sanniang pondered for a moment. “They came well prepared.”
Liu Yuanyuan nodded. From what Fen Lan and her daughter said and did, it was obvious that they were up to no good.
The mother and daughter had a black jar, and the thing in it seemed to be able to help them. First Master Ye and Second Master Ye almost lost their lives. Hu Yu did not dare to touch it because it was a sin.
