Chapter 139 "Will Do"
Fengxin City,

Pingxi Marquis's residence,

Front hall.

Xue San had returned. The place where he trained scouts and spies was in a farm outside Fengxin City. Therefore, when Marquis Zheng brought the old woman and the monk back to the city, he also sent someone to inform Xue San.

In fact,

Xue San had returned and waited even earlier than Marquis Zheng and his party.

Returning,

was not only Xue San, a Demon King, but also Fan Li and A Ming. Even Si Niang and the Blind Man, who were busy in the Fengxin City government office, temporarily put down their work and returned.

Only Liang Cheng was training soldiers outside and couldn't return.

The main reason the Demon Kings returned so eagerly was that "Granny," as Hu Bamei called her, had appeared. You must know that in Hu Bamei's prophecies, two things appeared at the beginning:

A stone tablet and a Granny.

The main reason was,

hehehe,

San'er was meeting the parents!

This spectacle,

had to be seen,

even if it meant putting down work.

No work could compare to the Demon Kings' enthusiasm for gossip.

At this time,

Zheng Fan, their master, sat in the main seat of the hall. Xue San, Hu Bamei, and Granny were also inside.

"Wasn't it said that San'er's woman was a country girl?" A Ming asked.

Si Niang replied, "You think she's a country girl just because you say so? Based on his previous personality, if he really took a fancy to a girl, he would have killed her whole family and beaten her senseless.

After bringing her back, he was afraid that the master would blame him and dislike her, so he made up a cliché story about a country girl saving him."

The Blind Man shook his head and said, "Just a woman. He might have done whatever he wanted in the past, but not now. He wouldn't risk it. If the master really found out, he'd never be able to advance again. It's not worth it."

At this moment,

Fan Li, standing behind the three of them, spoke:

"Size."

Immediately, the other three Demon Kings frowned.

Undeniably, Fan Li made a good point. Size was a big problem. Finding a suitable size, San'er might take the risk for that reason.

"Aren't you going in to take a look?" A Ming asked the Blind Man.

The Blind Man shook his head and said, "Let them have their family talk and finish the emotional drama. There's plenty of time for serious matters. Now that she's in the Marquis's residence, she can't leave whenever she wants."

"That's true." A Ming nodded.

Si Niang said to the Blind Man:

"Blind Man, give us a live broadcast. Let us hear what they're saying inside."

As she spoke,

Si Niang took out a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket and distributed them to A Ming and the Blind Man.

Fan Li reached out to take some,

but Si Niang slapped his hand away.

At this time,

the monk, who had been standing there motionless guarding the flatbed cart and whom Granny called A'da,

got up,

walked outside the pavilion,

took out two large baked wheaten cakes from his cassock, took one out, and handed it to Fan Li.

Fan Li also stood up, walked over, and reached out to take the baked wheaten cake.

The two iron tower-like giants,

in silence,

actually formed a tacit understanding,

even… friendship.

Then,

Fan Li and the monk both squatted outside the pavilion,

and began to nibble on the baked wheaten cakes.

A Ming chewed on sunflower seeds and joked:

"It feels a bit weird."

Si Niang said;

"After seeing Liang Cheng use a sprinkler filled with blood to water you that one time, I'm completely numb to this kind of scene."

A Ming sighed,

and said:

"Madam, why are you being so sarcastic?"

"You started it."

The Blind Man opened his mouth and said, "Heh, you think you're worthy of marrying my Eighth Sister?"

Si Niang and A Ming immediately stopped bickering,

and focused on listening to the broadcast.

………

"Heh, you think you're worthy of marrying my Eighth Sister?"

As soon as Granny opened her mouth, she was in standard prospective mother-in-law mode.

Marquis Zheng sat in the main seat, acting as the groom's parent, sipping his tea slowly.

Anyway, the pig had already rooted for the cabbage. It was up to her.

After this process was over, it would be his turn to ask about the prophecy.

Bamei stood beside Granny. She recognized Granny. Standing next to her, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, as if she was very happy to see Xue San being reprimanded by her elder.

"Are you her biological grandmother?" Xue San asked.

"Closer than blood."

"Then you're not a blood relative. You won't be getting any dowry money."

Granny slapped the tea table,

and cursed;

"Why not? The kindness of raising is greater than the kindness of giving birth. Do you know how much she ate when she was little? If I had used that food to feed pigs, how much profit would I have made!"

"What about her parents?"

"Nonsense, if they weren't dead, would I be raising her?"

Xue San shrugged,

then shook his leg,

and said:

"You can see with your own eyes that we are a match made in heaven."

For other people, a match made in heaven was a blessing.

Here, it was the visible favor of the heavens.

Hu Bamei reached out and pushed her Granny,

and said shyly:

"Yes, we are."

"……" Granny.

"Look, look, what's done is done. The rice is cooked. Actually, we can speed things up. She's my woman now. You can't take her away.

Besides,

here,

she will definitely live a life of happiness."

The Marquis's residence of the Great Yan!

"Happiness?"

Granny would have been fine if she hadn't heard these words. As soon as she heard them, she immediately became angry and cursed:

"If you hadn't said that, I would have almost forgotten. You say you treat Bamei as your woman, but how have you treated her? The reason my golden toad sensed Bamei's direction and the reason I was able to find this place was because she was almost killed by you!

It was you,

who were forcibly using that talent, to help you divine!"

……

Outside the pavilion,

the Blind Man shook his head.

The matter,

was exposed.

Si Niang and A Ming continued to relax. Obviously, they didn't think this was a big deal.

Moreover, they also knew that if it was a one-on-one fight, Xue San would definitely go to challenge the Blind Man to settle the score, but now the master was inside, and everyone was outside;

and it also involved the matter of prophecy, so Xue San would not act impulsively.

Otherwise, he might not even be able to keep the last bit of face.

In the hall,

Marquis Zheng slowly put down his teacup.

Xue San nodded,

and said:

"This is my fault, my negligence. I guarantee there won't be a next time."

"Why should I believe your guarantee?" Granny asked with a sneer.

"Let me guarantee it." Zheng Fan opened his mouth and said, "There won't be a next time."

Only when Zheng Fan, the master, said these words would they have an effect.

"Why should I……"

Granny looked into Zheng Fan's eyes, and her voice suddenly dropped.

Now, he truly had an imposing manner even without being angry.

Zheng Fan continued slowly;

"The matter is settled like this. You don't object, do you?"

"I……"

Some people threaten others as if they are bluffing;

while some people,

even if they just use a declarative tone,

are still enough to make people tremble with fear.

Granny squeezed out an extremely reluctant smile and said, "I don't object."

"Good, now, whatever procedures and courtesies are necessary, whatever you need, we will do our best to do it. The marriage can be arranged. We will try our best to make it legitimate and dignified."

"Good, Marquis, you're right."

"Then, do you have anything else to say?"

"I… I want to read his fortune. I want to see if he's someone who has a short life of happiness. If he's really too bad, I can't just watch my girl jump into a fire pit."

As she spoke,

Granny pointed at Xue San.

"Oh, you can also read fortunes?" Zheng Fan asked with interest.

"I can, I can a little."

"Why don't you also read my fortune while you're at it?"

"Marquis, you're joking. Before those two princes, the Great Yan's noble titles for those with different surnames were topped by a Marquis. You are now a military merit Marquis. If I read your fortune and say some auspicious words, wouldn't that be like changing a four-clawed azure python for a five-clawed one?"

Zheng Fan was noncommittal.

Xue San stepped forward at this time,

with a smile on his face,

and made a gesture of invitation.

It didn't matter if you didn't have the ability to read fortunes;

but if you really had the ability to read fortunes, I, San-ye, would scare you to death!

But he felt that she should have some ability, otherwise she wouldn't have a fifth-rank cart driver.

Granny reached out and placed her hand on Xue San's face.

Then,

Granny closed her eyes.

After about a dozen breaths,

Granny opened her eyes again,

took her hand back from Xue San's face,

shook her head,

and said:

"It'll do."

Marquis Zheng, sitting in the main seat, rubbed his chin upon hearing this.

Xue San's eyes showed a slight hint of doubt.

Just then,

the Blind Man, Si Niang, and A Ming walked in from outside.

Seeing that people were coming in,

the monk named A'da instinctively wanted to stand up and go in to support his old woman,

but Fan Li held him down.

Fan Li took out two large nang breads from his arms and handed one to A'da.

A'da hesitated for a moment,

then continued to squat down and eat nang bread with Fan Li.

When the Blind Man and Si Niang entered,

Zheng Fan shook his head slightly to express his attitude.

The Demon Kings understood,

the Blind Man smiled,

and said:

"The banquet is ready. Why don't we have a family meal first?"

Granny nodded and said, "It should be so. This old woman is very curious about the food in the Marquis's residence. I imagine it must be very exquisite and precious. This old woman from the countryside has never enjoyed such exquisite blessings in my life.

However, I must apologize in advance and ask to be excused to go and empty my bowels first so that I can make room for the exquisite food."

The Blind Man nodded,

and said:

"As you wish."

Granny cursed at the door:

"A'da, where the hell are you!"

The monk hesitated for a moment,

looked at the nang bread,

and then looked at Fan Li,

finally,

he put the nang bread in his arms, got up, walked into the hall, and carried the old woman on his back.

"I'll have a servant take you there," the Blind Man said.

"No need, A'da can smell the way."

The Blind Man smiled, "The latrines in the residence are scented."

"Then let A'da follow the scent."

"Okay, as you wish."

Anyway, in the Marquis's residence, the two of them couldn't possibly run away.

A'da came out carrying the old woman on his back,

turned a corner in a corridor,

and A'da, carrying the old woman on his back, said:

"Granny, my back is cold."

Granny slapped A'da on the back of the neck unceremoniously,

and spat:

"It's because this old woman just peed her pants from fright."
