591 Belief In Fate (Part 2)
Old Madam Ye looked grateful.
The old Daoist priest also heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Liu Sanniang eagerly. He was no longer as mysterious as before. Now, he was just a person who wanted answers.
Liu Sanniang looked at the old Daoist priest. An invisible force enveloped the old Daoist priest. He seemed to have immense belief in Liu Sanniang. He could not wait any longer. When he sensed the warmth, he relaxed even more.
Liu Sanniang sensed his memories and said slowly, “50 years ago, when you were a child, a respected elder in the village passed away. You drove three nails into the grave. The three nails corresponded to loneliness, property, and misery, which is what led you to suffer today.”
!!
The old Daoist priest opened his mouth, but no words came out. Two streams of tears of regret flowed down his wrinkled face. He did not expect such an answer. He looked at Liu Sanniang for a while before finally lowering his head in regret.
“I was just fooling around. If I knew, I wouldn’t have done that.”
The old Daoist priest’s voice was a little choked. At that time, he was still a child. He could not even remember why he did that.
Liu Sanniang retracted her power. “You must respect the dead.”
The death of a respected elder deserved even more so.
The old Daoist priest sobbed. Because of one foolish action, he had ruined his life and suffered for decades.
The old Daoist priest bowed deeply to Liu Sanniang. He wiped his tears and said to Old Madam Ye, “Old Madam, I was instructed to lie by a madam. That madam is her.”

The old Daoist priest pointed at Fen Lan.
With that, he turned around and left. Looking at his hunched back, the Ye family did not make things difficult for him.
Old Madam Ye’s expression turned cold as she looked at Fen Lan and her daughter.
Fen Lan’s heart sank when she was being pointed at. She kowtowed and defended herself. “Old Madam, I was blinded by greed. Yingying has suffered too much. It wasn’t easy for her to return home. I just wanted her to be able to integrate into the family…”
Old Madam Ye did not want to hear Fen Lan’s nonsense.
She looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Sanniang, I want to ask you something. Help me see if the bastard child this woman gave birth to belongs to my son. You even know what that old Daoist priest did when he was a child. I believe you have the ability to find this truth.”
No matter how humble Fen Lan was, Old Madam Ye would not believe her.
If not for Liu Sanniang exposing the old Daoist priest’s lie, she, who had lived for most of her life, would have believed him.
Old Madam Ye was determined to investigate and see what Fen Lan was hiding.
Fen Lan’s body was trembling. She did not know how Liu Sanniang knew about the old beggar’s past, but she could tell that what Liu Sanniang said was true.
Tears streamed down Fen Lan’s face as she pulled Yingying to kowtow and beg for mercy.
Fen Lan looked at Third Master Ye with tears streaming down her face. “Master, Yingying is really your child. The first half of her life was already hard enough. Don’t make life more miserable for her.”
Third Master Ye frowned, unable to bear to look at the scene.
Madam Zhao’s voice was trembling. “Ye Laosan, now or never.”
Madam Zhao looked at Fen Lan coldly.
Fen Lan was trying to use her weakness to gain Third Master Ye’s sympathy. She was not a fool. If Third Master Ye still hesitated at this moment, her marriage with Third Master Ye would come to an end.
Madam Zhao’s unyielding attitude put Third Master Ye in a difficult position. He wanted to grab Madam Zhao’s hand, but she shook him off coldly. Third Master Ye knew that he had to make a choice.
There were only two choices. One was to believe in Madam Zhao, and the other was to believe in Fen Lan.
Seeing that Third Master Ye was hesitating, Old Madam Ye was also angry.
Ye Niuniu sobbed. “Mother, you want to leave this family, I’ll leave with you. Wherever you go, I’ll go too.”
Ye Niuniu looked up. There were still tears in her eyes, but her tone was firm.
Old Madam Ye raised her hand to wipe her tears. “Nonsense. If anyone has to leave, it’s your useless father.”
When Third Master Ye heard Ye Niuniu’s words, he did not feel good either. He immediately said, “Sanniang, please help me find the truth.”
His heart ached for Yingying and Fen Lan. He hoped that Madam Zhao would be magnanimous. He hoped that Madam Zhao could tolerate Fen Lan and her daughter. This way, he would have two daughters. This was the best solution.
But now, because of Fen Lan and her daughter, his family was about to be ruined. Now, he had to be a man and make a choice.
Fen Lan collapsed to the ground, her heart in a mess. At this moment, she was extremely helpless.
Tears streamed down Fen Lan’s face. She leaned close to Yingying’s ear and said, “I’m sorry, but I love you. I said that I would let you live a good life, but I failed…”
Yingying cried anxiously. She could not figure out a way to reverse the situation. She glared at Liu Sanniang. Why did she have to be a busybody?
A dagger slid out of Fen Lan’s sleeve. She raised her hand and stabbed it into her heart. It was so fast that by the time people reacted, the other end of the dagger had already come out from Fen Lan’s back.
Fen Lan looked at Third Master Ye and said weakly, “Master, I know you suspect me, but I swear to the heavens that Yingying is your daughter. Please treat her better…”
