582 Shocked
The black smoke had already left the room. It was obvious where it had gone.
Ye Niuniu woke up and sobbed her heart out. Old Madam Ye hugged her and cried too. She cried because she saw how sad Ye Niuniu was.
“Good girl, what’s going on? Tell me. With me around, no one will dare to bully you.”
“What’s wrong, Niuniu? Tell me.”
Ye Niuniu’s cousins also expressed their concern. They had never seen Ye Niuniu cry so sadly. Seeing her howl like this, they felt terrible.
Ye Niuniu hugged Old Madam Ye and cried until she trembled before answering. “Grandma, I’m afraid.”
That dream was too real.
Old Madam Ye’s heart ached when she heard that. “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
What was there to be afraid of? Ye Niuniu had never been like this before.
Old Madam Ye suddenly felt her anger surging. “Ye Laosan, go and ask your brother which matchmaker he found. Urge the matchmaker to hurry up.”
Third Master Ye did not dare to disobey Old Madam Ye and quickly left.
Madam Geng asked. “Niuniu, do you want to eat something? I’ll make it for you.”
Ye Niuniu shook her head. She did not want to eat anything. Even now, she was still in a daze and could not pull herself out of that state of despair.
She hugged Old Madam Ye tightly. When Ye Niuniu was young, she spent a lot of time with Old Madam Ye. The old lady also doted on her. Only by hugging Old Madam Ye tightly would she feel safe.
When Liu Sanniang and Liu Erlang arrived, Hu Yu came out to tell Liu Sanniang that Ye Niuniu had already woken up.
When Old Madam Ye saw Liu Sanniang, she forced a smile.
The family was in chaos. Everything Liu Sanniang said had come true. If they wanted peace, they could only quickly arrange for the mother and daughter to leave.
Liu Erlang’s eyes were filled with worry. “How’s Niuniu?”
Ye Tiancheng looked at Liu Erlang. “Niuniu is fine and needs to rest. Don’t worry, we’ll take good care of her.”
Liu Erlang was still very worried.
Seeing Ye Niuniu, Liu Erlang was even more worried. Ye Niuniu looked absent-minded and listless, as if she did not even recognize him. She only hugged Old Madam Ye tightly.
Liu Erlang was anxious. “Granny Ye, let Niuniu stay at my house for a few days.”
No matter how much Liu Erlang liked her, it was not appropriate for him to say such things. However, he felt that the Ye family did not take good care of Ye Niuniu. Since the Ye family could not take good care of her, he would take care of her.
Madam Qiu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll take good care of your future wife. I promise you that she’ll be up and kicking soon.”
Old Madam Ye looked at Liu Sanniang and suddenly said, “Sanniang, can you stay with Niuniu at my house for a few days?”
Old Madam Ye felt uneasy. She looked at Liu Sanniang and thought that the young girl was a psychic. With her around, no demons would dare to mess around.
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Alright.”
As Ye Niuniu cried, she fell asleep. Liu Sanniang went over and helped Ye Niuniu lie on the bed. Old Madam Ye stood up and looked at Second Master Ye and his wife. “The two of you, come with me.”
Madam Geng looked at Liu Sanniang gratefully. “Sanniang, thank you. We haven’t had breakfast yet. I’ll go make it. Sorry to trouble you.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Auntie, don’t worry. Leave this to me.”
Ye Niuniu’s cousins were too embarrassed to be in the room. They smiled warmly at Liu Sanniang and left.
Only then did Liu Erlang ask impatiently. “Sanniang, is there something going in Niuniu’s family?”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Yes, something is happening.”
Liu Erlang looked a little anxious. “Sanniang, please help them. But if you really can’t help, don’t force yourself, understand?”
Liu Erlang felt terrible. He liked Ye Niuniu, but Liu Sanniang was his sister.
He could not let Liu Sanniang risk her life for Ye Niuniu. If anyone had to suffer, he was willing to be that person.
Liu Erlang didn’t realize that Liu Sanniang could hear his thoughts, especially when he was not on guard.
Liu Sanniang felt a trickle of warmth in her heart. She smiled at Liu Erlang. “Second Brother, don’t worry. Nothing will happen.”
Looking into Liu Sanniang’s eyes, Liu Erlang was no longer so worried.
After Liu Erlang left, Liu Sanniang stayed in the Ye family for the time being.
Old Madam Ye called Second Master Ye and Madam Qiu into the room. Her expression was serious. “Go and ask around and see if there’s any master who can subdue demons.”
Madam Qiu frowned. “Mother, are you suspecting that our family is haunted?”
Old Madam Ye nodded.
Second Master Ye scratched his head. “Mother, there’s something I don’t know if I should tell you. If I don’t say it, I feel very bad. But if I say it, I’m afraid that you’ll be even more worried.”
Old Madam Ye sighed. “Tell me.”
“Mother, it was very strange when I fell down the ladder yesterday. I was holding the ladder firmly, but suddenly, I seemed to have been pushed by something. However, when I fell, I also felt like I was supported by something. Tianyang told me at night that he remembered that the machete was placed somewhere else. He didn’t touch it, but for some reason, the machete came to the place where I fell.”
As Second Master Ye spoke, he felt a chill running down his spine.
“Eldest Brother also said that he seemed to be pushed. However, when he fell, he seemed to have been supported by something. If he hadn’t been supported, he would have hit the tree stump. He said that if that happened, he would most likely be dead.”
Second Master Ye felt that there were two forces. One was to harm people, and the other was to save people.
Old Madam Ye was stunned when she heard that.
Madam Qiu shivered, not knowing if she should feel lucky or unlucky.
Second Master Ye was suddenly terrified. If it was really as he thought and he fell on the machete, would he still be alive?
Old Madam Ye pondered for a moment and said, “Don’t tell anyone about this. Go and invite a master. After all, Sanniang is still young. She is kind enough to stay. However, we can’t put her in danger. Go and invite a master as soon as possible. Be on guard these days.”
Second Master Ye and Madam Qiu quickly nodded and went out to ask around.
That night, Madam Qiu and Second Master Ye invited Granny Li over.
