Chapter 203 Fortune Telling
Oh, by the way, we have to find a way to give Xia Ting'an a child. A blood-related child will be an unbreakable bond between the two people.
Thinking about her previous life, she gave birth to three sons and one daughter for Xia Ting'an. She was a contributor to the Xia family. In this life, she should also give Xia Ting'an a few more children. After all, more children means more blessings, right?
Ma Lian has beautiful ideas, and this mysterious self-confidence is something that ordinary people cannot match.
On the other side, Xia Ting'an pushed Ma Lian away and quickly ran to his workplace. After stopping, he took several deep breaths and looked behind him to make sure that Ma Lian did not come over. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
The world is really going downhill. The mistress even came up to him to assert her sovereignty and try to snatch someone away. Where is justice?
Ma Lian went to Xia's parents with high morale. However, because of Jiang Panyu's behind-the-scenes manipulation and Lu Xiaojing's cooperation, Ma Lian had no chance to become Xia Ting'an's confidante.
Xia Ting'an was not in a bad mood because of the quarrel with Lu Xiaojing, and then Ma Lian took advantage of the situation.
Ma Lian skipped this step and did not think of any other way. After much thought, she could only try to win the favor of Xia's parents unilaterally. She would take some of her own embroidered handkerchiefs and small accessories to please the old lady. Little by little, the old lady liked Ma Lian very much.
Ma Lian, who has obtained the qualification to frequently visit the Xia family, has finally started to take action. She still intends to create a drama of her own good fate.
Therefore, he had to make Xia's parents suffer from some dizziness or vertigo first, so that he could bleed them to "cure" the disease.
But now she was just the old lady's guest and had no chance to sneak into her kitchen. Ma Lian could only find another way. Every time she went to see the old lady, she would bring some cakes and other food.
At first, these cakes were clean and edible, but later Ma Lian sprayed a small amount of rat poison into them.
Then, as the drug effect is increased little by little, the poison will not kill you, but symptoms of poisoning will gradually appear, and dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting are inevitable.
At first, Xia's parents didn't notice the problem with the pastries. After all, they had eaten them for a while, so they didn't think about Ma Lian at all.
Lu Xiaojing also learned about this from Jiang Panyu, but she did not intend to expose it. In her previous life, the two old people had caused her a lot of trouble. Mrs. Xia was the most direct driving force behind the breakdown of her marriage with Xia Tingan.
Since it can't kill people, let them suffer. Lu Xiaojing doesn't have any extra kindness to give them now.
Jiang Panyu did not stop them. After all, one should not advise others to be good without experiencing their suffering. These two old men were not good people either.
If they really wanted to do this for their son's good, then when Xia Ting'an was taken advantage of by Ma Lian in the previous life and the two had a relationship, they should have found a way to settle the matter.
Even if the situation cannot be resolved, they have to let Lu Xiaojing know that they are on the side of their daughter-in-law, then Xia Tingan's marriage may still be saved.
But what did they do? For the sake of the flesh in Ma Lian's belly, they brought Ma Lian back home to live, not only allowing Ma Lian to come and go freely, but also spreading the word that Ma Lian was their daughter-in-law.
This allowed the mistress to come and go freely. The family tradition was not right, so it was no wonder that he was betrayed by Ma Lian. So what if he had a grandson? Xia Ting'an would be unhappy all his life. Later, he was seriously injured by Lu Xiaojing who came to seek revenge.
Fortunately, these two old people died early. If they had died later, Lu Xiaojing would probably not have let them go.
Jiang Panyu didn't say anything, but just kept reminding Lu Xiaojing not to let herself get involved. It's okay to be cold and ruthless to the enemy, but you can't lose the soft part of your heart, otherwise you will become unhappy.
Lu Xiaojing listened to Jiang Panyu's long speech with a smile, and then solemnly assured: "Don't worry, I won't let myself get involved again.
After calming down for such a long time, I have been able to control my emotions.
It's really not worth sacrificing myself for others. ”
"I'm glad you think so. Then let's proceed to the next plan."
Jiang Panyu started whispering with Lu Xiaojing again, and after they decided what to do next, Lu Xiaojing went back.
The following period of time was Ma Lian’s personal performance stage. Soon, Xia’s parents showed signs of poisoning and began to feel various discomforts.
Ma Lian was busy running around like a young wife, asking the old lady about her well-being, which touched the old lady so much that she looked at Ma Lian as if she were her own daughter.
But they didn't know that all their physical discomforts were caused by Ma Lian, and the medicine they took had no effect.
Ma Lian said that it might be because the two elderly people did not exercise enough in their daily lives, and taking medicine combined with exercise might not necessarily help them get better quickly.
So, Ma Lian became their caregiver, often accompanying the two elderly people for walks and chatting to relieve their boredom. Then one day, while strolling around, they discovered a fortune-telling stall on the side of the road.
Business was pretty good, there were even people waiting there to have their fortunes told. The old lady was superstitious, so she dragged her old man over to have his fortune told.
Unexpectedly, the fortune teller only told the fortunes of Xia's parents. This is the rule of their industry, and they do not tell fortunes for older people.
But he was very willing to tell Ma Lian's fortune, so Ma Lian pretended to be surprised and pointed at herself.
The fortune teller nodded, and the old lady became interested. She pulled Ma Lian to sit down and asked the fortune teller to tell her fortune.
The fortune teller first looked at Ma Lian's palm, then asked about her horoscope, and then he muttered something that no one could understand. Finally, he came to the conclusion that Ma Lian had a good fate, the kind that would bring good luck to her husband, children, and family.
The old lady seemed very happy. There was a different light in her eyes when she looked at Ma Lian. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her and liked her more and more.
Then the old lady regretted in her heart, why didn’t Ma Lian appear two years earlier? Or it would be okay if her son got married two years later, so that Ma Lian could become her daughter-in-law.
When Ma Lian saw the old lady's expression, she knew that she had made the right move. It was worthwhile for her to spend so much money to hire such a charlatan to act with her.
Just two days after they had their fortune-telling, Ma Lian once again accompanied Xia's parents out for a walk. Then the old lady heard others muttering about how people with good fortunes are very blessed.
If there are difficult and incurable diseases, as long as you find a person with good fortune, let him/her blood and take medicine together, the disease can be cured faster.
The person who said this exaggerates the so-called good fortune to the point of being miraculous, almost saying that it can cure all diseases.
It was obvious how unrealistic it was when they heard it. Xia's parents thought it was nonsense, but Ma Lian deliberately pretended to be thoughtful, so that the two old people could see it.
On that day, when Xia's parents were boiling medicine, Ma Lian "sneaked" into Xia's kitchen and put her own blood in the medicine with a fruit knife. This scene "happened" to be seen by the two old people.
The two elderly people were so moved that they burst into tears. The old lady bandaged Ma Lian's wound herself and said, "My daughter, how could you do this? It's all fake. How can you believe everything you hear?"
Ma Lian smiled and said, "I know it's not credible, but I still want to give it a try. If it can make you better, it will be a good thing."
"Oh, my daughter, I really hope you are my daughter-in-law. My son is not as caring as you." The old lady looked at Ma Lian with particularly gentle eyes.
Ma Lian smiled shyly: "If I can't be your daughter-in-law, I can be your daughter, uncle and aunt. If you don't dislike me, I really want to recognize you as my godfather and godmother."
