A middle-aged woman emerged from the sedan chair. She was dressed simply, with a simple headdress, and even the maids around her were similar. If Bei Yutang hadn't recognized the Xie family's servants, she probably wouldn't have been able to connect this woman with Madam Xie.
"Could she be Madam Xie?" Qian Zhiliu looked at the plain middle-aged woman with suspicion. "That's too plain."
Mrs. Lin from the Fu family dresses better than Mrs. Xie. Mrs. Xie is a real noble lady, but it is surprising that she is so simple.
Bei Yutang's attention had long since shifted away from Madam Xie and was looking at her face.
It's strange, why does this Mrs. Xie look so familiar, as if I have seen her somewhere before.
Bei Yutang hurriedly searched the original owner's memories to see if she had forgotten anything. Perhaps this was why Xie Shiming was targeting her. However, after searching for a long time, she was sure that there was no trace of Madam Xie in her memory.
It's strange, where does that familiar feeling come from?
"Sister Yutang, what should we do now?" Qian Zhiliu's voice interrupted Yutang's thoughts.
"Go and take a look. Don't let anyone see that we're anything unusual."
The two followed them and headed towards the main hall. Madam Xie's arrival made the monks in the temple very warm and welcoming. After all, she had come here for so many years regardless of weather conditions, which showed her sincerity.
As usual, Mrs. Xie knelt before the Buddha and prayed and chanted scriptures devoutly.
Bei Yutang and Qian Zhiliu followed them slowly, not too far away to attract attention but not too far away to see their movements clearly.
At this time, Mrs. Xie was talking with the host.
"From what I see from Madam's face, it seems that there is going to be good news." The host, who was over fifty years old, said with a kind look.
Mrs. Xie smiled slightly, "Happy event? What kind of happy event could I have?"
The host said softly, "Madam, why don't you draw a lot and let me see it."
Mrs. Xie felt reluctant to deny the host's kindness, so she nodded in agreement. She casually pulled a bamboo stick from the holder and handed it to the host. The host looked at the words on the stick and said with a smile, "Congratulations, madam! Your wish has come true."
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Xie's face did not show joy, but instead she looked nervous and worried.
"Madam, whatever you were thinking about when you drew this lot just now will hopefully come true this year." The host said with a smile, stroking his graying breath.
Madam Xie looked at him in disbelief, "Master, is that true?"
When she heard the host say there was some happy event, she couldn't help but think that it would be great if she could be pregnant again, but she was almost forty years old, how could she have children at this age?
But when the host asked him to draw lots, he couldn't help but think in this direction.
In previous years, she had drawn lots, but the answers she received each year were always to let things take their course, as if they were destined by heaven. But today, she received a different lot, which made her happy and nervous, as if she was afraid she might be hallucinating.
The host said kindly, "That's what the fortune says. We just need to wait for a distinguished person to come before we can achieve your wish."
"A noble man?" Mrs. Xie murmured, and then asked anxiously, "Master, where can we find this noble man?"
The host shook his head. "The secret cannot be revealed. When the time is right, he will naturally appear. Madam, just wait at home peacefully."
