Zhu Zongyang felt that anger was simmering in his heart. “Well, how did she get here?”

Madam Yu replied. “It’s strange. First, I heard a dog barking. When I opened the door, I saw her outside. She said that the black dog brought her here and that we are fated to meet. Zongyang, one thing she’s got right for sure. She said that I have received a windfall. If I take it, I’ll lose my husband and daughter.”

Zhu Zongyang frowned. “She’s talking nonsense. Look at my body. It won’t be a problem for me to live for another eight to ten years. When our daughter is married, she will live a rich life. How can she possibly die?”

Madam Yu was still a little worried. “But…”

Zhu Zongyang interrupted her. “No buts. If you go to the street and find a fortune teller, he’ll tell you that it’s once-in-a-lifetime luck.”

Madam Yu frowned. She felt that Liu Sanniang was different.

Zhu Zongyang continued. “Look at how young she is. What can she do? If you don’t believe me, go and find a fortune-teller.”

It was supposed to be a joyous thing, but with Liu Sanniang interfering in the matter, he felt terrible.

Seeing that Zhu Zongyang was not in a good mood, Madam Yu left.

Liu Sanniang walked back home with her dog. General Black was obedient now. She squatted down and stroked the dog’s head, muttering. “General Black, can you also sense something?”

As a way of response, General Black licked Liu Sanniang’s palm. She said, “Alright, alright. a.s.sistant Zhu doesn’t like me. There’s nothing I can do.”

Perhaps what was foretold could not be changed.

A pair of boots stopped in front of Liu Sanniang. She looked up at Chu Yan, who extended his hand and said, “Get up.”

Liu Sanniang stood up and was about to take a few steps back when Chu Yan grabbed her hand. He seemed to like pinching her palm.

Liu Sanniang held the rope while Chu Yan held her hand.

“You can’t help those who don’t want to be helped.”

Chu Yan’s voice was soft and deep. It sounded nice.

Liu Sanniang felt that the seed in her heart was growing stronger. She said in a low voice, “If I can’t help, why did we meet?”

Chu Yan squeezed Liu Sanniang’s palm, shaking his head.

Liu Sanniang glanced at Chu Yan. She didn’t know since when everything had gone off track. Everything was different now compared to her previous life. Even Chu Yan was different.

Chu Yan sent Liu Sanniang home. He looked at General Black, who howled at Liu Sanniang before walking towards him.

Chu Yan reached out and touched General Black. “Well done. Go back.”

General Black immediately got up and ran back to Liu Sanniang.

She glanced at Chu Yan but could not sense anything from his dark eyes. Instead, she was shocked by his invasive gaze.

Chu Yan smiled and Liu Sanniang quickly closed the door.

At night, in a daze, Liu Sanniang seemed to have heard the sound of joyful noises.

She opened her eyes and saw two sedan chairs, one red and one white, pa.s.sing by in the distance. Side by side, they gradually disappeared from Liu Sanniang’s sight.

Liu Sanniang woke up to clean herself up before eating breakfast.

Because it was snowing, Mr. Liu and Liu Erlang didn’t go out to work.

Liu Dalang was also at home today.

Liu Erlang held General Black’s rope and suggested. “Sanniang, do you want to walk the dog?”

General Black was used to going out for a walk everyday.

Liu Sanniang recalled the dream and took the rope. “I’ll go.”

Holding the rope, she quickly went out with General Black.

General Black seemed to know what Liu Sanniang was thinking and ran towards Zhu Zongyang’s house.

Liu Sanniang stood not far from Zhu Zongyang’s house, and General Black sat beside her.

Madam Yu was about to close the door when she saw Liu Sanniang. For some reason, she felt guilty. She pretended not to see Liu Sanniang and left.

Liu Sanniang followed her until Madam Yu couldn’t take it anymore. She stopped and turned around to walk towards Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, I know you mean well, but this time, you might be wrong. Both my husband and daughter are in good health. What you said won’t happen at all.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Madam Yu. When she saw that Madam Yu’s face revealed no signs of her husband and daughter, she did not say anything and left with General Black.

Seeing Liu Sanniang leave, Madam Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

She had seen capable psychics before, but this was the first time she had seen someone like Liu Sanniang.

Madam Yu did not think too much about it. She still had to buy things.

At night, Madam Yu returned home.

After dinner, she called Zhu Zongyang for dinner.

Zhu Zongyang was in a good mood, and Madam Yu could tell that at a glance.

Zhu Yan smiled. “Father, what happened? Why are you so happy?”

Zhu Zongyang smiled. “Your wedding is in a few days. I thought of a way to vent my anger, so I’m happy.”

Zhu Yan asked. “What is it? Father, tell me.”

Zhu Zongyang took a sip of wine. “Yan, you know who I hate the most, don’t you?”

Zhu Yan immediately said, “I know. You hate that Miss Liu the most.”

Zhu Zongyang had complained about Liu Sanniang multiple times to his family.

Madam Yu frowned. As Zhu Zongyang’s wife, she knew that Zhu Zongyang hated Liu Sanniang because she was invited by Wei s.h.i.+lai. She was just a little girl, but Wei s.h.i.+lai was very respectful towards her.

She even got paid ten taels a month. Zhu Zongyang, who was a knowledgeable and experienced scholar, was paid only three taels.

Zhu Zongyang narrowed his eyes. “Liu Sanniang is always c.o.c.ky and arrogant. This time, I will definitely embarra.s.s her.”

Madam Yu was a little worried. “Zongyang, is this good? She’s still a little girl.”

Madam Yu was inexplicably worried. She did not know why, but she did not want Zhu Zongyang to do this.

Zhu Zongyang snorted. “What do you know? In the past few months, she has been stealing my thunder. Although I resigned from my position, I still can’t take this lying down. It’s her fault as a woman for not staying at home and waiting to get married.”

Zhu Yan chuckled and said, “Mother, you’re just being too kind-hearted. Father is right. We should teach her a lesson.”
