Chapter 1721: Chapter 624: The Reverse Female Lead (Part 13)_3

The Yang Family and Granny Li were driven to tears by this immense surprise.

They were crying tears of joy, finally waiting for this day to come.

"That’s not right! Erya, oh no, I mean Fubao, isn’t she supposed to be a jinx? Or a Demon that steals other’s Qi Fortune!"

Among the crowd, whether out of jealousy or genuine curiosity, someone shouted loudly.

As soon as these words were uttered, the envious and gossiping crowd fell silent.

Indeed!

Erya is supposed to be a Demon, how could she become a Princess Consort?

Could it be that she used some Evil Techniques to seduce Prince Liang?

Come to think of it, back then He Sanya exposed Erya’s true nature, and the "victimized" villagers all stood up to testify.

He Erya was almost driven out of He Family Village by the angry villagers and was on the verge of being erased from the family registry.

The incident grew so big that even Prince Liang, who was recuperating at the He Family, saw and heard about it. Yet he didn’t care at all and insisted on taking Erya away!

Prince Liang seemed quite peculiar at that time.

When others heard that He Erya was a Demon, they were filled with disdain and fear.

But he, instead, wanted to keep He Erya by his side, proclaiming that he liked her and wanted to stay with her for a lifetime.

Tsk!

His obstinacy was just like those poor scholars in storybooks who were bewitched by vixens!

"Nonsense! Our Fubao is not a Demon, she’s a lucky star!"

Hearing the crowd’s discussions, Granny Li shouted defiantly.

"Granny Li, it’s not us outsiders who said Fubao is a Demon, it was your own granddaughter, Fubao’s cousin, who said that!"

The villagers, seeing Granny Li about to throw a tantrum, hurriedly threw out this remark.

Granny Li:...

It was like a bucket of cold water was poured over her head, and Granny Li’s confidence instantly deflated.

Indeed, the person who first claimed Fubao was a Demon wasn’t an outsider, it was He Sanya!

At that time, Granny Li couldn’t understand why Sanya would do such a thing?

Didn’t she understand the principle of sharing the same fate, whether glory or disgrace?

If her own cousin became a Demon, what good would it do her?

Look at the past few months; even though He Sanya brought wealth to the first branch of her family, in the Prefecture City, few truly wealthy and Noble families wanted to marry He Sanya.

He Sanya might disdain the second branch for being cursed by Fubao’s bad luck, but those Nobles were worried He Sanya herself carried some abnormality.

Alas, it’s all a sin, just a sin!

Granny Li cursed in her heart, then stiffened her neck and said stubbornly, "I don’t care about that, anyway, our Fubao is no Demon!"

"She is a lucky star; on the day she was born, I dreamed of a golden light entering our He Family!"

"She, she must be someone of great origin, maybe even an Immortal in her past life!"

To help her precious granddaughter wash away the stigma, Granny Li once again brought up the events from that year.

The villagers:... Again with the golden light entering the house!

Tch, they didn’t know how many times they heard Granny Li boast about this over the years.

They could even recite it by heart!

But Chen Fu, standing by, had a flicker in his eyes upon hearing this.

"Old lady, did you really have such a dream back then?"

"Of course!"

When Granny Li saw that this Noble from the Capital City had taken her words seriously, her spirits were immediately lifted.

She hurriedly said, "On the night before my daughter-in-law gave birth, I dreamt of a huge ball of golden light descending from the sky, landing directly in the yard of our Old He’s family!"

"After my Fubao was born, the He Family had endless good fortune. My son, who knew nothing about fishing, ended up catching lots of big fish just by randomly fishing in the river."

"My son also couldn’t hunt, but while wandering in the mountains, he stumbled upon wild hares that had accidentally killed themselves."

"And not only that, I was just hoping my darling granddaughter would help me get a Big Ingot, and as soon as I went out, I tripped and directly picked up a Big Ingot!"

Granny Li often boasted to the villagers about the fishing and wild hare events.

But as for picking up a Silver Ingot, she always kept it secret.

Granny Li couldn’t read or understand grand principles, but she had the cunning of a farmer—such talk of picking up silver is dangerous, what if the original owner came looking for it?

She hadn’t even told the He Family about this, let alone the villagers.

Today, after over a decade passed and faced with a critical moment to prove her Fubao’s innocence, Granny Li didn’t care to keep it hidden any longer.

"Really? Was she that lucky?"

"Sanya truly has good fortune, don’t forget, that year she went picking wild herbs with the villagers and found a wild ginseng, and the thirty acres of land of the He Family were bought with the silver from selling it!"

"Yes, yes, I remember too!"

"... Tsk! What a load of nonsense good luck, did you all forget that her luck was stolen from us!"
