Chapter 167 39
【39】
Looking at the two numbers on the note, Mu Lianzhi didn't think much of it.
It seemed that there were only about five or six hundred people drawing lots at the Taoist temple. Even if there were thousands of people drawing one hundred, the probability was only one in ten. So, she didn't feel lucky or surprised that she drew number 39.
When she raised her eyes, she met a pair of stunned eyes, and then looked at the indescribable expressions around her, and she was a little confused.
When she looked down again, she realized that the papers in the hands of people around her, in front of her, around her, and in the mansion were all blank. As far as she could see, she was the only one with words on the paper.
No way?
On average, it's unlikely that she would be the only one picked by the crowd of people around her!
Turning around, she looked around again, even standing on tiptoe to check the paper balls in the maid's hand. Not to mention the people she didn't know, at least none of the people in the Marquis's Mansion who took the paper balls got it right.
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly said:
"Oh my god, 39, a very lucky number. How could she be so lucky?"
"Is this really God's will? She's the only one who got the lottery out of the 50 or 60 people around her?"
"Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. Nine is the highest number, the ultimate number of heaven and earth. She actually drew two excellent numbers. It must be a very good fortune."
"Time is also destiny..."
"Hey, you've won too, what do you want to ask for? I heard that the master is an expert at interpreting the divinations and fortune-telling."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't waste it."
"I don't know when the next time will be. Master Daoyi is not here every year."
“This is the right time to come this year.”
……
There was a murmur of discussion around him, and looking at the sign number in his hand, Mu Lianzhi roughly understood why everyone reacted that way.
Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was mobilized, even the maids and old women. No one probably expected this result in the end. The people around who came to join in the fun gradually dispersed, but everyone in the Marquis' Mansion looked as if they had just been killed. The surroundings suddenly became quiet again.
The old lady looked at the blank paper in her hand and her heart began to beat inexplicably.
How could a person who worships Buddha every day not have any thoughts in her mind when she received the result she least wanted to see on a day like this?
Apart from her, the one who felt the most uncomfortable was Jiang.
Because Ling Yuchi was not with them today, but Ling Shaochong was, she didn't care whether others won the prize or not, but subconsciously she expected that one of them would win, and she especially wanted to ask about the future fortune of their whole family.
She was extremely disappointed with this result.
Under the current circumstances, no matter what the questions are, how could it be the first wife's turn?
Holding the lottery number, Mu Lianzhi felt like she was holding a hot potato. She was still considering how to deal with the lottery number when Jiang spoke first:
"Mother, I heard that you seemed to have a cough and couldn't sleep last night. Is it because of your heart disease? I heard that Master Daoyi is knowledgeable and proficient in the art of medicine. Today is a rare opportunity. I wonder if my sister-in-law..."
Jiang stopped there and glanced at Mu Lianzhi's hand, the meaning was self-evident.
The old lady was about to cover her heart, but before she could say anything, the piece of paper with special marks and numbers was already in front of her:
"Sister-in-law and I have the same idea. Mother, I don't have much to ask for. Please accept it as my filial piety."
"Yes, we are one family."
No one expected Mu Lianzhi to be so generous. Everyone was stunned for a moment and expressed a few false feelings. However, the old lady's men quickly grabbed the signature and gave the blank one to Mu Lianzhi.
This opportunity is priceless.
The old lady was so excited that she could hardly control herself. Little did she know that Mu Lianzhi was eager to get rid of this thing that was the target of everyone's criticism. She also said:
"Mother, it's rare for you to come out. It's so busy today. I wonder if your daughter-in-law can go out for a walk as well? There seem to be a lot of people queuing here. It will probably take some time for you to see the doctor. Your daughter-in-law will definitely be able to come back."
In fact, everyone hoped that she was not there, so how could they not agree? The old lady immediately made the decision and let them do as they pleased.
Moreover, because of Guanyin Dan and the uncertain Master Daoyi, the Marquis's Mansion also temporarily decided to stay one more night to leave enough time.
Mu Lianzhi was not interested in their thoughts and plans, but compared to being bored in the Marquis' Mansion and engaging in all the intrigue, she preferred this opportunity to have fun openly.
She went out with a few maids.
On that day, many noble ladies and acquaintances came to Qingyun Temple, and people from the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion were also seen from afar. Jiang said something to the old lady and left.
On the one hand, she wanted to see her daughter, and on the other hand, she also wanted to ask Ling Feier whether she had drawn the lottery number, thinking that she could use her to ask about her family's future.
In a corner under a tree in the courtyard, the mother and daughter met. Ling Feier was dressed simply and did not wear any accessories, but her complexion seemed to be better than before, and Jiang's heart was relieved a lot:
"I just saw that bitch with your mother-in-law's family. She knows how to behave. I want to see how long this traitor can stay proud."
When it comes to Hua Shuolei, Jiang still feels angry, but she is afraid that someone might have ears and that she might upset Ling Feier, so she lowers her voice and takes Ling Feier's hand to pat her soothingly:
"Relax your mind. Your father and your brother have a promising future. Your blessings are all to come."
"Who is she? Isn't she just relying on her belly now? Your in-laws are not caring for her now, Fei'er, don't take it to heart."
"They probably treated her like this for you to see. They're probably afraid that you might do something unwise."
The strength of his hands increased a bit, and Jiang said again:
"They must be staring at you now, don't be so foolish, it's not worth it for such a bitch. The Fuguogong Mansion is a big family, and if she is gone, there will inevitably be someone else in the future. There is no need to rush for this moment, you must first gain a firm foothold."
Compared to her chattering, Ling Fei'er was obviously calmer than her, and even had a smile on her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes:
"Don't worry, mother. I understand."
"Oh, that's good."
Then Jiang turned to the main topic and asked about the lottery. When she heard that the Fuguogong Mansion only drew two places and neither of them was from the prince's family, Jiang felt very disappointed:
"Why didn't you get one?"
“Who drew so many places and so many people?”
"I want to calculate for our family and for you..."
Jiang muttered to herself as if she had lost her soul, and the corners of her mouth twitched a few times. Ling Feier couldn't help but wonder if this was her real purpose in coming to see her, and her twisted heart couldn't help but feel disappointed again.
She has seen through the fact that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, and she can't rely on anyone except herself.
What is the use of fortune telling?
If Hua Shuolei's so-called "great blessing" is to steal her husband and become the concubine of the prince of the Fuguo Mansion, then she can put an end to this blessing.
While I was still thinking, a little maid came over.
