"Come in with me and burn some incense."

"By the way, where is Yuzhou?" Xu Shiyun held her daughter's hand, and all the boredom she had felt for the past few days disappeared when she saw her daughter.

Lu Chaochao listened to the sound of wooden fish coming from all around her, and her heart was calm.

He couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled: "He, he doesn't dare to come up." He was afraid that the Bodhisattva would tie him up and take him back.

"He's waiting down there, don't worry, Mom."

Xu Shiyun patted her daughter's hand and said, "I want to go back to Beizhao. I've never been away from home for so long. I heard that your third brother is going to take the imperial examination soon and is expected to win the top prize again."

It is such an honor to have two top scorers in one family.

"Your second brother probably wants to marry Miss Wen. He's waiting for mother to go back and arrange it..." As he spoke, he sighed.

"Logically, your elder brother is the eldest son and should get married first. Alas, your elder brother has a miserable life...he can't find a good partner."

He became famous at a young age and got engaged to the Jiang family.

His fiancée fell into the water and he risked his life to save her.

Miss Jiang was so terrified that she hid behind a rockery and let him fall into the water. Even so, Yanshu never resented her in his heart.

But she should never, ever, break off the engagement for her concubine's son Lu Jinghuai.

This is tantamount to stabbing a book in the back.

The eldest son is now calm and I am afraid that his marriage will be difficult.

"Mom, marriage is a matter of fate. My brother will always be happy. Don't worry about it..." Lu Chaochao leaned against his mother, not wanting her to worry too much.

Xu Shiyun smiled and nodded.

There were many pilgrims going up the mountain today. The two lit incense and worshiped in front of the big incense burner outside the temple.

"I hope that my baby can be born safely. I hope that this child... will be kind and compassionate, upright and honest, and have a loving heart towards all things." Mother and child are connected by heart, and she probably had some guesses in her mind.

She reverently inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner and bowed with her hands clasped together.

As soon as the two left the incense burner, they heard surprised discussions behind them.

"Oh, why is the incense stick broken? It's unlucky, hurry up and pray..."

"It was fine just now, but in the blink of an eye, it all broke." The villagers who were burning incense were shocked and knelt on the ground to pray for peace and good fortune.

Xu Shiyun's heart stagnated, she stopped and turned around to look.

"mother!"

She swayed a bit, her legs went weak and she almost sat on the ground. Fortunately, Lu Chaochao and Rong Che caught her and saved her from danger.

Rong Che knew very well that this was the incense that Yunniang had scented.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just tired and I couldn't stand steadily." Xu Shiyun didn't want her daughter to worry, so she turned around and walked towards the main hall.

Rong Che was extremely distressed but helpless. He only regretted now that he should not have gotten pregnant.

If there was a way, he would have wanted to take Yunniang's place.

The hall was filled with incense. Xu Shiyun knelt devoutly in front of the cushion, clasped her hands together, and bowed her head to pray.

There were five or six cushions beside him, with many villagers kneeling on them.

Xu Shiyun's heart was pounding, feeling strange...

Obviously, when she came to the temple in the past, she felt peaceful all over, but now, she was a little afraid of the majesty of the Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva is still the same Bodhisattva.

But his gaze seemed to have changed from compassion to sharpness. She didn't even dare to look directly at the holy face of the Bodhisattva, which made her feel so panicked that she wanted to escape.

"Ah!!" A scream suddenly came from behind.

The elderly woman was seen looking at the front of the hall with horrified eyes. She had been standing upright, but now she knelt on the ground and kowtowed like a madman with a plop.

"Buddha, please forgive me. Please forgive me. Did we do something wrong?"

"Please ask the Buddha to calm down."

Everyone looked over when they heard the crying, and saw the old monk who was ringing the bell in front of the hall suddenly stand up.

The compassionate monk who always smiles now looks very unpleasant.

The Buddhist beads in his hand broke and fell to the ground.

"Go and invite the host!"

"The Buddha statue is crying, there may be a disaster!" The monk knelt on the ground without saying a word. In an instant, the villagers knelt in front of the hall.

Rong Che supported Xu Shiyun and knelt in the corner along with the crowd. However, Xu Shiyun's face looked extremely ugly, with a faint paleness.

The uneasiness in my heart reached its peak.

After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the hall.

The host only took a look and called out "Amitabha".

“It’s tears of blood.”

"The Bodhisattva is crying. Is there going to be a disaster?"

Someone asked in a low voice.

The abbot asked the young monk who was in the hall just now, and then asked everyone else to leave the temple.

"There is something going on in the temple today, so please go down the mountain first."

After everyone left, only a few scattered people were left in the hall.

The donor asked everyone to draw a lot and then asked what they wanted. Soon, only Lu Chaochao's family was left in the hall.

Xu Shiyun's hand was so tight that it hurt, but Rong Che said nothing and just comforted her in a low voice.

"Mrs. Xu, could you please ask for a fortune stick?"

Xu Shiyun had some cold sweat on her forehead. She knelt in front of the mat, and her hands were shaking as she held the lottery box.

"Mom, don't be afraid!" Seeing that his mother was uneasy, Lu Chaochao knelt in front of the Buddha and put his chubby little hand on his mother's hand.

Shake the lottery box with your mother.

Xu Shiyun seemed to have found a backbone in an instant.

The fear in my heart has mostly faded away. This kind of sense of security cannot be given by Rong Che, and no one else can give it to me.

The stick tube shook, and soon, two bamboo sticks that were tightly stuck together fell to the ground with a plop.

The young monk picked up the fortune stick on the ground and said in surprise, "It's a twin fortune stick."

The two bamboo sticks are tightly together and can be easily separated with a slight push of the hand.

The host held the fortune stick in his hand with a frown on his face.

"It's a bad sign."

Xu Shiyun's heart skipped a beat. Before she could say anything, the host said, "But the other lot is a very good one."

“Life and death coexist at the same time.”

"Mrs. Xu, this baby of yours..." The host glanced at her belly, then quickly retracted his gaze, not wanting to look at anything inappropriate.

"I'm afraid it's someone important."

"If no one is intimidated, it will bring disaster to the three realms." The blood and tears of the Bodhisattva are already a prophecy.

Xu Shiyun felt completely powerless. She had some guesses in her mind, but when she heard these words, she burst into tears.

"I……"

"I have lived my life worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of everyone. Why do you treat me like this?" She leaned in Rong Che's arms, crying.

"I'm sorry, Brother Che, this child..."

Rong Che shook his head with red eyes: "No, Yunniang, you haven't let me down. It's my blessing that you can choose me again. I know what you are thinking, and I support you in whatever decision you make." He hugged Yunniang tightly, only regretting that he shouldn't have gotten pregnant. If he had known...

I took the sterilization pill.

It was his blessing to be able to get her back and marry Yunniang in this life.

He thought about it and decided to take a sterilizing drug when he returned to Beizhao to prevent Yunniang from getting pregnant again.

As for letting Yunniang take contraceptive pills, he had never thought about it.

However, the fetus is already eight months old, and Yunniang's body can't bear it. What should he do?
The host shook his head and sighed: "Donor, there is no need to be so pessimistic."

"If the fortune is bad, this child might be a devil."

"But today, the twin lots were drawn, which means there is a way to survive."

"He has a nemesis." (End of this chapter)
