Why are you trying to steal her destiny? She's the little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect!

Chapter 8: Eavesdropping on Birdsong, Grandma Ye is on Her Deathbed

The Ye family's old house is a traditional courtyard house.

As soon as she got out of the car, Xiao Jiu Jiu was stunned by the scene before her.

The courtyard house in front of us is a modern Chinese style, with a three-entrance, three-exit design, and a large area around it is their territory.

There are two majestic stone lions at the entrance, and the building is made of blue bricks and gray tiles with carved beams and painted rafters.

It looks even more magnificent than the castles where princesses live on TV.

Most importantly, you can feel the refreshing "air" even without going inside, which is very comfortable and nourishing.

"What a wonderful place!" Xiao Jiu Jiu couldn't help but exclaim.

Coal Ball was quite excited too: "This place is full of spiritual energy, perfect for me!"

"Xiao Jiu, do you like it here?"

I like it!

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression softened slightly.

Xiao Jiu likes it here, so perhaps there's no need to think of any other way to keep her here.

That godforsaken place, the Qin family's.

The older generation favors sons over daughters, while the younger generation cheats on their spouses.

Whoever wants to go will go.

Xiao Jiu Jiu had no idea what Ye Chen was thinking.

She looked around and closed her eyes.

It was as if all the pores on my body had opened up, absorbing the spiritual energy here.

"Meow~"

[Feels good, right? Me too.]

The coal ball, which had been sitting demurely, had now collapsed.

Although Liuhuai Village is also a place with auspicious feng shui.

But this place is no less impressive than that place.

"Meow~"

This place was originally located on a spiritual vein, and there should have been a hot spring pool inside.

Xiao Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up when she heard about the hot springs.

Holding Ye Chen's hand, Xiao Jiu Jiu looked up at him with a sweet smile: "Brother Ye, this big house looks so grand!"

Little Jiu Jiu's chubby little face had a shallow dimple, making her look especially cute and adorable.

Looking at her adorable appearance, Ye Chen felt his heart melt.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

"Okay!"

Little Jiu Jiu's two soft braids swayed as she skipped and hopped along with Ye Chen inside.

The assistant pushed open the courtyard gate, and two sturdy ginkgo trees came into view.

It's only June or July now, the height of summer.

At this moment, the ginkgo trees have lush, fan-shaped green leaves.

"Wow, so big!"

These two ginkgo trees are even bigger than the ancient trees in Liuhuai Village.

Both trees are about 30 meters tall and about 4 to 5 meters in diameter, and are at least a thousand years old.

The tree is so old but still very healthy.

The entire courtyard was full of life.

The coal ball took a deep breath, slid its front paws forward, raised its rear end high, and stretched out its whole body: [Awesome!]

Stretching, Coal Ball got up, shook himself, and gracefully followed behind.

The assistant glanced at the coal ball, his brow furrowing slightly: "Mr. Ye, this cat is following us..."

"fine."

The coal briquettes were clean and well-behaved on the vehicle; they even used the restroom in the rest area.

They would also pull out wet tissues when they got on the bus to remind them to wipe its paws before it would lie down on the seat.

This cat can understand human speech, is conscious, and is very well-behaved.

When the time comes, just tell Grandma that it's Master Liu's cat, and she'll understand.

The assistant shut up and followed behind.

Holding Xiao Jiu Jiu's hand, Ye Chen led her through several courtyards to the main hall.

"Ah Kuang, go and report your work situation to my dad."

Ye Chen waved to his assistant and led Xiao Jiujiu into the main hall.

There is also a large tree not far from the main hall entrance, which looks like it would take four or five people to hug it.

Under the tree was a solid wood armchair, and next to it was a solid wood tea table, about the same height as the armrests.

An elderly man, full of energy, was sitting in a grand chair, twirling two walnuts in his hands, humming a tune that was hard to understand.

"grandfather!"

Ye Chen called out.

Hearing the noise, the old man raised his head, and his cloudy eyes instantly lit up.

“Ah Chen…”

The old man glanced at his beloved grandson, then looked at little Jiu Jiu beside him, and exclaimed with delight, "Is this Jiu Ya Tou? Come here and let Grandpa take a look."

"what?"

Xiao Jiu Jiu was stunned for a moment, then hid behind Ye Chen and shook her head, saying, "No, I have a grandfather, so I can't call you grandfather."

The old man in front of me was radiating wealth and the golden light of merit.

The people there looked very peaceful.

But this is not her grandfather.

Ye Chen said helplessly, "Grandpa, Xiao Jiu is still a little shy. Please don't scare her."

"Then Xiao Jiu Jiu can call me Grandpa Ye."

Ye Zhengping gave Xiao Jiujiu a kind smile: "Your grandfather saved my life and my son's life back then. He is a great benefactor to our family."

It doesn't matter what you call it.

As he spoke, a look of sadness suddenly appeared on his face: "That old man, your grandfather, sigh..."

“My grandpa isn’t old at all, he’s still young,” Xiao Jiu Jiu retorted softly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengping smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Grandpa Ye is mistaken."

"Where are Grandpa and Grandma?"

Ye Chen frowned slightly when he saw that only the old man was sitting there.

Ye Zhengping paused his hand as he reached for the teacup, and said, "Your grandmother is in good health, but she's still sleeping right now."

"Now?"

Ye Chen glanced at the time on his phone.

It's midday.

Grandma used to wake up at six or seven o'clock, and she was full of energy, so it was impossible for her to sleep until midnight.

"Yes," Ye Zhengping replied calmly.

"that……"

Just as Xiao Jiu Jiu was about to speak, her gaze fell upon the somewhat faded little house in the tree.

Two birds were perched at the door of the little house, peeking out and chirping.

Oh dear, I just flew back, and his wife seems to be dying.

[The dark aura is overwhelming! I saw a wandering spirit trying to possess her.]

[Yes, yes, yes! If it weren't for the jade pendant, she would have been dead long ago!]

The two birds kept arguing.

Little Jiu Jiu, however, gleaned crucial information from this.

Ye Gege's grandma is dying!

【not good! 】

Coal Ball suddenly stood up and darted into the house.

It was very fast, like a black shadow, and darted past in an instant.

Xiao Jiujiu tugged at Ye Chen's sleeve, "Brother Ye, is Grandma not feeling well?"

These words drew the attention of both the grandfather and grandson to her.

"Xiao Jiu, why are you suddenly saying this?" Ye Chen wasn't angry, but asked patiently.

Xiao Jiu Jiu pursed her lips.

She couldn't reveal that she could understand birdsong.

Her eyes darted around, and Xiao Jiu pointed at Ye Zhengping, whispering, "I...I saw it."

"Grandpa Ye's marital palace is gloomy, with four inauspicious stars and the void transforming into a negative influence, indicating that his partner's health is not good and they may face separation!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu tried hard to recall the knowledge her grandfather had taught her, and thought about what her grandfather looked like at the time, so she made up some random things in the process.

Her knowledge of divination and physiognomy was only so-so; she used it to cover up her ability to understand and communicate with animals.

Xiao Jiujiu tried her best to keep a straight face and act serious.

This distracted them, preventing them from noticing that the coal briquettes were gone.

Ye Chen glanced at Ye Zhengping and said gently to Xiao Jiujiu, "No, Grandma's health has always been quite good, she's just been a bit sleepy lately."

"not like this."

Xiao Jiu Jiu shook her head, gently biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth.

She thought for a moment and said, "Brother Ye, Grandma is really not well. Can you take me inside to see her?"

Ye Chen and Ye Zhengping both fell silent.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Xiao Jiu Jiu glanced at their expressions and felt a pang of guilt: "I'm sorry, shouldn't I have said that?"

Anyone would be angry if someone said these things on their first visit to someone's home.

Xiao Jiu Jiu felt very uneasy.

Grandpa Ye wasn't angry. He patiently explained, "Ninth Girl, Ayin is still sleeping. Going in will disturb her rest."

Seeing Xiao Jiu Jiu's anxious expression and worried eyes, Ye Chen, who was standing to the side,

He sighed helplessly, "Grandpa, Xiao Jiu Jiu is Master Liu's granddaughter. She must have some skills that we don't know about."

"Yes, Grandpa Ye, you have to believe me!" Little Jiu Jiu nodded vigorously, her little braids swinging back and forth.

After a long silence, Ye Zhengping finally relented: "Okay, Grandpa Ye believes you. Now, let's take Xiao Jiu Jiu inside to see Grandma, okay?"

Ye Chen glanced at Ye Zhengping with some surprise.

It should be noted that Ye Zhengping rarely treats the younger generation of the Ye family with such kindness and gentleness.

In everyone's eyes, he was a serious patriarch.

He is usually serious and doesn't smile much.

The children were both afraid of and respected him.

But I didn't expect it.

When faced with Xiao Jiujiu's ulterior motives, Ye Zhengping was surprisingly kind and gentle.

Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded: "Mm!"

Seeing this, Ye Zhengping smiled slightly.

However, he still couldn't quite believe it.

Nine-year-old girl, how can she be so amazing?

You can know about Ah Yin's situation without even seeing her.

The three of them went into the house together.

"puff……"

"Ah Yin!"
