"You...you..." Madam Ouyang stared at Wan Jiao, stammering for a long time before finally asking a complete question, "Who exactly are you? How do you know about my nightmares?"
Ouyang Feihua accurately grasped the key point.
She grew anxious and walked to Madam Ouyang's side, asking nervously and cautiously, "Mom, do you really have nightmares every night? For over thirty years?"
Madam Ouyang has already let it slip; there's no way she can hide it anymore.
Therefore… she sighed and nodded gently.
Ouyang Feihua's brows furrowed tightly, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
She lived for over thirty years, and her mother had nightmares for over thirty years, so... was it because of her birth?
The thought that her mother, who loved her dearly and cherished her like a treasure, had suffered such pain because of her caused Ouyang Feihua tears to fall incessantly.
"Mom, I'm sorry." With a choked voice and heavy nasal tone, Ouyang Feihua almost exhausted all her strength to utter these words.
"Sisi, what does this have to do with you? Don't overthink it," Madam Ouyang comforted her daughter.
Ouyang Feihua naturally didn't believe such words, and her tears fell even more fiercely.
Wan Jiao spoke up at the right moment, "Whether you have nightmares or your body is in a state of exhaustion, it is indeed related to your childbirth."
Madam Ouyang: "..."
This little girl knows how to sabotage others.
However, precisely because of this, her attitude towards Wan Jiao underwent a complete 180-degree turn.
Yes, Madam Ouyang believed that Wan Jiao was a capable person, and that she really could cure her "illness".
Perhaps... she wasn't sick at all, but had some other problem.
"Master, does that mean you can really save me?" Madam Ouyang asked cautiously.
Wan Jiao nodded, "We cultivators do not lie."
Upon hearing this, Madam Ouyang breathed a long sigh of relief. "Sisi, did you hear that? The master said I can be saved. Stop crying and go be with Huainan."
Since Wan Jiao was able to help Ouyang Feihua find her son, she naturally trusted her completely. Although she hesitated when Madam Ouyang asked her to stay with Lu Huainan, she didn't insist on keeping her.
Before leaving, Ouyang Feihua remembered the 'price' Wan Jiao had mentioned and assured her, "Master, as long as you can save my mother, you can take everything I have."
Wan Jiao smiled slightly, indicating that she understood.
Wan Jiao's inner thoughts: I only want your son, I don't want anything else!!!
…
Wan Jiao's ancient medical skills had already reached their pinnacle. Coupled with her unfathomable spiritual power, Madam Ouyang's problem was resolved with just three silver needles.
As she exhaled a breath of stale air, Madam Ouyang felt much lighter, and the pent-up depression in her heart was swept away.
She was both surprised and delighted. "Master, I have visited many Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries and consulted many wise people. They all said that I am not tainted by anything unclean."
Wan Jiao: "Most cultivators in the world today have shallow vision, so it's perfectly normal that they can't see it!"
If this were said by another sorcerer, it would be considered somewhat arrogant and insulting.
But it is precisely because it was Wan Jiao who said this that it seemed so reasonable.
Strength is paramount.
She has the right to say such things.
After Wan Jiao finished speaking, she took out a pill that emitted a faint light and had a strong medicinal fragrance and handed it to Madam Ouyang.
"Master, this... this could be the legendary elixir?" Madam Ouyang stammered.
Wan Jiao: "Soul Nourishing Pill. Your soul has been damaged over the years. Taking this will ensure that you can sleep peacefully every day and live a long and healthy life until the day you die of old age."
Upon hearing this, Madam Ouyang took the Soul Nourishing Pill without saying a word and ate it.
After eating, I felt much more energetic.
Madam Ouyang was about to kneel down before Wan Jiao to thank her for saving her life, but Wan Jiao stopped her, saying, "I saved you on only one condition."
As soon as Wan Jiao said this, Madam Ouyang remembered the 'price' that Wan Jiao had mentioned to Ouyang Feihua before, and immediately became nervous. "Master, please speak."
Wan Jiao didn't mince words and was very straightforward, "I have a daughter with Ye Jin named Ye Zhao, and I would like to arrange a marriage between her and your grandson Lu Huainan."
There are very few people in the entire Sheng Kingdom who don't know who Ye Jin is.
Madam Ouyang was shocked that Wan Jiao was actually the Commander's widow, and also shocked that she and the Commander had a daughter.
Madam Ouyang's face showed a complex and ever-changing expression.
Wan Jiao wasn't in a hurry; she just watched her, waiting for her to recover from her shock.
After about two minutes, Madam Ouyang forced a smile and said, "Master, shall I go and call my daughter Sisi to talk to you?"
Wan Jiao understood what Madam Ouyang meant.
Well, it's just a matter of discussing it with Ouyang Feihua.
It's better to discuss it.
Wan Jiao felt it was inappropriate not to discuss it with them.
"good."
…
Inside the room, a kerosene lamp was lit. Xiao Huainan was already asleep. Ouyang Feihua stood by the window, looking at the crescent moon outside, lost in thought.
Madam Ouyang pushed open the door and entered, calling softly to Ouyang Feihua, "Sisi, is Huainan asleep?"
Ouyang Feihua withdrew her gaze and thoughts, looked at her mother who was clearly in much better spirits, and nodded.
Madam Ouyang: "Come out with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."
The mother and daughter arrived outside the room where Xiao Huainan lived. Madam Ouyang relayed what Wan Jiao had said to Ouyang Feihua, and then said uneasily, "Our Huainan has been smart since he was a child. I'm afraid that master didn't come specifically for him, did he?"
Ouyang Feihua was much more rational than Madam Ouyang. She gently patted her mother's hand and said, "Mom, Master Wan is a good person. Even if she came for Huainan, she must have something she wanted from him. She would never harm him."
"She saved you, and she doesn't want money or anything. All she wants is for Ye Zhao to arrange a marriage between their children in Huainan. That's not unreasonable."
"Moreover, our Ouyang family has always valued integrity above all else. How can we refuse to fulfill our previous promise after Master Wan saved you?"
Madam Ouyang understood what Ouyang Feihua meant.
She sighed. "Sisi, are you saying you want to agree to this marriage?"
Ouyang Feihua: "Mm."
Madam Ouyang sighed again, saying regretfully, "If I had known earlier that the master had his eye on our Huainan family, I would have preferred to die."
“My son Huainan is still so young. If he meets a girl he likes in the future, but is unable to pursue her because of this marriage, it would be my fault.”
How could Ouyang Feihua not know who her own mother was?
To spare her psychological pressure and constant self-blame and guilt, Ouyang Feihua quickly changed the subject, "Mom, how can you think like that? In the end, given Ye Zhao's status, it's our Huainan family who are marrying above our station."
"That commander is incredibly handsome, and Master Wan is stunningly beautiful. Their daughter, Ye Zhao, will surely grow up to be a top-tier beauty. My Huainan is a man, and he might not be able to abandon his wonderful fiancée for another girl!"
