Chapter 666.
Chapter 666: As You Wish
Seeing the Divine Mother walk out, Mrs. Xu, who was waiting outside, immediately greeted her.
“Immortal nun, how is my third sister?”
The Divine Woman waved her hand repeatedly, “Madam, in the case of Third Miss Xu, forgive me for not being able to help, I won’t take a penny from the old woman, farewell.”
Mrs. Xu was anxious, and hurriedly pulled her by the corner of her coat, “If you leave, what about my Third Sister’s son, why don’t you draw a few more divine talismans for Third Sister’s son to take?”
The Divine Woman shook her head, “Talismans are not idle, taking them repeatedly will greatly diminish their usefulness.
On Third Miss Xu, there is a great karma that I can’t dissolve, ah, it’s not something that the old woman I can taint.”
Seeing the Divine Wife leave, Mrs. Xu looked sad, “What can we do about this?”
Several maids glanced at each other, and one of them boldly stepped forward to speak.
“The third young lady is still in her boudoir, once the matter of being possessed by ghosts and monsters spreads out, the reputation of the Xu family will be in the way, and there’s no need to delay the marriage of the second young lady and the fourth young lady.
How …… about sending the third young lady to the manor, the public said the third young lady’s body is infected, go to the manor to recuperate. When the third miss gets better, then pick her back up.”
Mrs. Xu’s face changed several times, and finally sighed, looking tired.
“The second sister’s marriage cannot be compromised, so we can only come up with this next step, and aggrieve the third sister’s son.”
After Mrs. Xu left, the two coarse grannies entered the room, endured the fear in their hearts and gave a salute.
“Third young miss, excuse me, madam said that you are not feeling well, please go to the manor to recuperate for a period of time.”
Xu Chuniang’s heart was relieved, although there were some discrepancies from what she had imagined, she was finally getting what she wanted and was going to be sent to the manor.
Just mother …… was afraid that she was scared, right?
She secretly sighed and got up, “Let’s go.”
Seeing that Third Miss was so cooperative, the two grannies sighed in relief and led Xu Chuniang towards the back door, where a carriage had already been prepared.
The carriage drove all the way to the outskirts of the countryside, the road gradually becoming deserted, with large swathes of farmland appearing.
Arriving at the manor, the two grannies explained to Xu Chuniang.
“Third Miss, I have spoken with the housekeeper, you and rest assured that you will live in the manor, when you are well in a few years, madam will come to take you to the mansion.”
Xu Chuniang jumped off the carriage and scanned the manor in front of her.
Compared to the imposing Xu Mansion, this place looked, I don’t know how many times shabbier.
However, there weren’t as many rules here as in the Xu Mansion, and no one would force her to marry.
Swearing off glory in this life, she could quiet her mind and think about the nine reincarnations she had experienced.
The two grannies finished their words, and immediately took the carriage to head back to the house.
The housekeeper in the manor didn’t know what was going on, and thought that the third young lady was really here to recuperate from her illness.
“Third Miss, I’ve already packed up the courtyard for you, the manor is simple and not as good as the mansion, so I hope you’ll bear with me.”
Xu Chuniang nodded and did not say anything more, stepping into the courtyard.
After a period of time, the housekeeper realized that this third young miss who had come to the manor to recuperate was a very good person to get along with.
She didn’t say much, had a withdrawn nature, and never made things difficult for them, the subordinates.
I don’t know what kind of disease she contracted, but she was actually sent to the manor.
Time is long, in the blink of an eye is three years later.
On this day, Mrs. Xu, who is in the Xu Mansion, sent someone to ask about Third Sister’s recent situation.
When she learned that she was still as usual, smothering herself in the courtyard, rarely coming into contact with outsiders, Mrs. Xu sighed quietly.
“It’s been three years, and Third Sister’s illness doesn’t seem to be getting any better, is this fate?”
The fourth sister who had married returned to her mother’s home, heard about third sister’s news, her eyes reddened, and she clamored to go see third sister.
“Mother, third sister used to love me the most, surely she won’t harm me, I’ll just take a look from afar.”
The fourth sister vaguely felt that her own third sister had by no means gotten into trouble with something dirty. Mrs. Xu nodded, “It’s fine to go and take a look, just be more careful when talking to her, lest you irritate her.”
Fourth sister nodded heavily, and after leaving the Xu Mansion, she took the carriage towards the outskirts.
Arriving at the manor, seeing the worn out green bricks, and the mossy eaves, the fourth sister’s nose soured.
All these years, Third Sister lived in this kind of place?
She pushed the door and followed the butler’s guidance to step into a courtyard, only to see that in the courtyard, Xu Chuniang was sitting in front of a stone tabletop, smiling faintly at her.
“Fourth sister, you’re here.”
The fourth sister was very shocked in her heart, glancing at the two tea bowls on the stone table and walking forward in a trance.
“Third sister, did you …… not guess that I would come long ago?”
Xu Chuniang smiled faintly, lifting the teapot on the table and adding tea to the two tea bowls.
After three years of enlightenment, she had figured out many things.
In these few days, she had originally planned to leave the manor and travel around.
But before she left, her heart felt something, so she waited a few more days, and sure enough, she waited for her fourth sister.
“Sit down, it looks as if you have already married, how have you been these past few years?”
The fourth sister had mixed emotions, the moment she saw her third sister, she was almost sure that she wasn’t sick at all.
She sat down at the stone table and took a sip of the tea on the table.
Strange to say, normally, she had always looked down on this kind of crude tea, disliking it as too astringent.
But today, she felt that it had a different flavor.
She looked at the tea leaves floating in the tea bowl, said after a long time, “I can’t say it’s good, nor can I say it’s bad. It’s not quite the same as what I thought before.”
Xu Chuniang added tea for her and leisurely said.
“All beings are like chess, when the stars and rivers flow in the sky, they have quietly set the destiny on the board. Only by stepping outside the chessboard can one sway one’s own destiny.”
These words, the fourth sister originally did not understand, but now vaguely understand some.
As a daughter of the Xu family, Third Sister should have married into a good family and raised her children, just like her.
Now, she is alone, living far away in the manor.
The manor house is simple, but the third sister looks, on the contrary, than at home, more comfortable.
On the contrary, although she married into the marquis, wearing fancy clothes, enjoying good food, but she is in the marquis, every move is out of control.
The world all sighed her good life, enjoy all the honor and glory, but when the night is quiet, cold and warm know themselves.
The fourth sister put down the tea bowl, sighed softly.
“Third sister, I no longer have a choice, I really miss my childhood, those carefree times.
Unfortunately, there’s no going back.”
Xu Chuniang shook her head slightly, “The moment a chess piece jumps out of the board, its destiny, has already changed and shifted, there is nothing, that is eternal.”
The fourth sister pondered, the third sister’s words made sense, just …… can she really do it?
She seriously thanked, “Third sister, thank you for telling me this, I will think about it.”
“What I can do is extremely limited, your fate, after all, depends on yourself, when the pomp and circumstance fades away, it will eventually return to its true nature.”
After firmly memorizing these words, the fourth sister departed.
After the fourth sister left, Xu Chuniang also prepared to travel far away.
She had figured out a lot of things, and now, it was time to go and see, with her own eyes, all the things in this world.
