A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!
Chapter 89 There is a problem
Shi Yanxia looked away after a long while, her gaze turning cold. She said in a low voice, "It must be that someone drew a ghost wall, which is why your grandfather couldn't get out when he went out."
"So subconsciously, he thought he had run his legs off because he was too excited."
"Actually, his leg was probably tampered with, which caused the injury," Shi Yanxia explained in a low voice.
Upon hearing the phrase "being trapped in a maze," Zhan Jinglin's dark eyes narrowed slightly.
"What is 'being trapped in a ghost wall'? Is it serious? Can it be broken now?" Zhan Jinglin's voice was tinged with tension.
Although I didn't understand, I realized how serious the situation was.
He wasn't superstitious before, but now he has complete faith in Shi Yanxia.
"It's a kind of talisman. Once you cast this talisman, you'll be trapped inside it and will keep going around in circles until your body is damaged, at which point the talisman will disappear."
“This kind of talisman is for one-time use. Once the person being cursed is injured and bleeds, the talisman will lose its power,” Shi Yanxia said in a low voice.
She never expected that anyone would use such a talisman.
I had heard my master say before that being trapped in a maze is a rather insidious trick, and upright people would not use it or bother to learn it. I never expected that someone would actually use it on Master Zhan.
It seems that things aren't quite peaceful inside this old house.
"Can you tell who used it?" Zhan Jinglin asked in a deep voice.
Shi Yanxia remained silent and walked inside.
Seeing the old man sitting in his wheelchair, looking at her kindly, he looked her up and down, nodded slightly, and said, "I have good taste. You're a pretty girl. It seems my rascal is lucky to have married you."
As the old man spoke, he turned to scold Zhan Jinglin.
“If this brat dares to bully you, tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will stand up for you.” The old man said, taking out a large red envelope and handing it over.
Shi Yanxia looked at the red envelope he handed her, but she didn't dare to reach out and take it.
"Here, Grandpa has a gift for you, please accept it." Grandpa Zhan said, stuffing a red envelope into your hand.
Shi Yanxia quickly shook her head, smiling as she said, "Grandpa, didn't you ask him to give me the red envelope last time? I already accepted it."
“No, that doesn’t count. I asked him to help me get that for you. I handed it to him to deliver. But this one is different. This one was given to me by Grandpa himself,” said Grandpa Zhan.
He forcibly stuffed the red envelope into her hand.
Shi Yanxia felt the thickness of the red envelope; it must contain at least tens of thousands of yuan.
"Thank you, Grandpa," Shi Yanxia said with a soft smile.
The old man turned his wheelchair, pushing it further inside, and said, "Grandpa doesn't know what you like to eat, so I've prepared a variety of snacks and fruits. Take a look and see which one you like."
"Shall we have lunch at home? What does Yan Yan like to eat?" The old man asked, looking at her with a happy expression.
Zhan Jinglin followed behind, and when he heard the old man's enthusiastic words, his voice was hoarse as he said, "Grandpa, why do I never receive this kind of treatment every time I come back?"
"Go away, go away! You're so old, why are you comparing yourself to a little girl?" The old man waved his hand and said with a look of disdain.
Shi Yanxia's lips twitched, and she subconsciously turned around to give Zhan Jinglin a meaningful look. When she saw the man's handsome face darken slightly, she couldn't stop smiling.
Unexpectedly, even the head of the Zhan family was only despised by the old man.
If all those women who are desperate to marry into the Zhan family find out, how heartbroken they would be.
"Grandpa, I'm not a picky eater," Shi Yanxia said as she stepped forward and helped push the old man's wheelchair into the house.
Seeing this, the old man was flattered and said, "No, no, no! The bodyguards can do this kind of rough work. We can't let you get tired."
"It's alright, I'll push you outside to get some sun," Shi Yanxia said.
She pushed the wheelchair to the pavilion on the side and did not go into the house.
The bodyguards behind him were also stopped by Zhan Jinglin. All the bodyguards and servants were dismissed, and then he carried some tea and snacks into the pavilion.
"Grandpa, when you fell that day, did you feel anything was wrong?" Shi Yanxia asked, sitting to the side.
She bent down to look the old man in the eye, her voice very soft.
When she asked him about it, a look of fear crossed the old man's aged face. After a long silence, he finally said, "Something is indeed not right."
"I had prepared red envelopes and gifts to visit you, but as soon as I went out, I found that I had walked a long way back to where I started. I asked the servants at home, and they all said that I fell down as soon as I went out," Old Master Zhan said in a deep voice.
His aged voice, deep and powerful, easily drew the listener in.
"After you've been gone for so long, did you feel anything was wrong?" Shi Yanxia asked in a low voice.
The old man nodded slightly, gripping the side of his leg tightly, and said in a low voice, "Something does feel wrong. It's like my leg is bound by something, and I can't move it."
"So I ran as fast as I could, and when I fell and was discovered by the servants, my leg was broken," Old Master Zhan said, waving his hand.
He said in a low voice, "I guess I'm getting old, and my mind isn't as clear anymore."
Although the old man said this, his sharp black eyes looked at Shi Yanxia, trying to see what she wanted to say.
“Just like last night.” Shi Yanxia looked up at Zhan Jinglin.
Zhan Jinglin clenched his large hand into a fist!
"What do you mean?" Upon hearing this, the old man's heart was in his throat.
Shi Yanxia recounted Zhan Jinglin's nightmare from the previous night. Upon hearing this, the old man's face darkened, and he slammed his hand on the armrest, asking, "What happened?"
"It's a kind of talisman. When used on a person, it can trap them in a trap. However, Grandpa's is a ghost wall, while his is a nightmare. They are essentially the same."
"I feel this is a warning. I guess it started with this whole 'marrying for good luck' thing, and some people started to get restless," Shi Yanxia said in a low voice.
One sentence made the old man's heart hang in the air once again.
He was somewhat taken aback, never expecting that his broken leg and Zhan Jinglin's being trapped in the dream were actually related to a marriage of convenience to bring good luck.
I initially thought it was all an accidental fall, but it led to all these events.
“Some people are afraid that if Shi Yanxia and I were to marry to bring her good fortune, and she were to become pregnant with my child, then the Shi Zhan family would have an heir, which would make them wary.”
"There are rumors that I am about to die. In everyone's eyes, after I die, my grandfather will be too old to remarry, so the Zhan family will be effectively extinct."
“But if I marry a woman to ward off bad luck, then the meaning will be different. People will think that Grandpa wants me to leave an heir for the Zhan family before I die,” Zhan Jinglin said in a deep voice.
Shi Yanxia looked at him with some surprise.
Unexpectedly, a single sentence directly enlightened Zhan Jinglin.
What I didn't expect was that this man was so intelligent, able to understand things so quickly and even revealing the whole story. If such a person were an enemy, he would be too dangerous.
