Chapter 93: Chapter 93: A Basketful of Good Things

At this moment, the rooster crowed at dawn, and a weak glimmer pierced through the dark sky.

The Ghost Shadow disappeared instantly.

Shen Heying breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and nudged Shen Cong on the ground.

"Dad..."

Afternoon.

Yun Qi had just woken up from a nap when he heard arguing coming from downstairs.

He went downstairs.

Grandpa was holding Grandma’s hand, which was covered in flour.

"You just got better, who told you to do this?" Grandpa looked angry but didn’t dare to get too mad, afraid of scaring Grandma.

Old Mrs. Yun had kind eyes and a gentle smile, her voice was soft.

"It’s okay, ever since I got sick, I haven’t cooked in a while, so I thought I’d make a nice meal for the kids, besides Qi hasn’t tried my cooking yet."

Yun Qi’s eyes lit up.

"Is Grandma’s cooking very good?"

Old Mrs. Yun replied, "Of course, even the family chef may not cook as well as I do, but my health hasn’t been good, and I haven’t cooked for the family in years."

As she said this, a flicker of sadness passed through her eyes.

She feared it might be difficult to cook for the family again in the future, so she considered this meal a farewell gesture.

Yesterday afternoon, she secretly went to see Shen Cong and got a special talisman from him that could protect her family from disaster at the cost of her own body.

After using that talisman, the Evil Qi on Yun Qi would only affect her.

So she thought that her days might be numbered.

Grandpa looked surprised, "Why all of a sudden do you want to cook for everyone? You’ve been acting a bit strange these past few days."

Old Mrs. Yun quickly said, "What’s strange about it? I just feel like I’m better now and want to show off a bit, you’re overthinking it."

Just then, Yun Qiuce and Yun Kuang came downstairs.

Old Mrs. Yun’s eyes quickly caught the sight of these two not-so-bright folks at home, and she called out, "Don’t run off, come here and help me out, I’m making soup for you today."

"Great, Mom’s soup is the best," Yun Qiuce said without hesitation and went to wash his hands.

Yun Kuang wasn’t to be outdone, "How could I not help Grandma?"

With that, he too went to wash his hands.

These two completely failed to notice the peculiar behavior of Old Mrs. Yun.

Old Master shook his head, having one good-luck charm at home was enough, now they had two.

The three of them went into the kitchen to work, and a servant came to pull Yun Qi to wash his hands and face.

Yun Qi obediently let them hold his hand, turning back to look.

His eyes were filled with bright gold, and a faint purple aura surrounded the three busy people in the kitchen, with Grandma having the most significant purple aura.

A purple aura was a symbol of good fortune,

it seemed like the three of them were going to be lucky soon.

While helping Old Mrs. Yun pick vegetables, Yun Qiuce asked, "Mom, why did you suddenly decide to cook for us?"

Old Mrs. Yun had a kindly smile and a soft, gentle voice.

"Qiuce, your big brother and second sister have already settled down, and now you’re the only one left single at home. I’m wondering if there’s a girl you like. If there is..."

"Mom, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"Sigh!" Old Mrs. Yun sighed deeply, "I’m afraid I won’t see you get married."

"Grandma, you will definitely live a long life," Yun Kuang chimed in, helping his little uncle out.

"And you, stop hanging out with those friends all the time, get your head straight and study well," Old Mrs. Yun turned to lecture him.

Yun Kuang scratched his head in confusion.

"Grandma, why are you talking like you’re saying your last words?"

He and Yun Qiuce exchanged glances, both looking puzzled.

Then suddenly a sweet voice came from outside:

"Is the senior at home?"

Yun Qiuce walked out of the kitchen, with vegetable leaves on his hands, and saw Xu Xueyan standing gracefully outside, giving him a sweet smile.

Yun Qiuce blinked in confusion, "Um...come in."

In the kitchen, Yun Kuang’s gossip soul burned brightly.

"Grandma, there’s a girl outside looking for my uncle, it’s the third Miss of the Xu family, she and my uncle went to the same high school."

"Really? Let me have a look."

"I’ll go with you, Xu Xueyan is quite pretty, I think she likes my uncle."

"Don’t talk nonsense, you might scare the girl away."

Old Mrs. Yun feigned anger, but her heart was blossoming with joy.

As someone who’s experienced, she could guess the girl’s thoughts from Xu Xueyan’s shy demeanor.

She probably was indeed interested in the youngest son, but the son was clueless and the girl had to take the initiative.

Unexpectedly, just as she was thinking about her youngest son settling down, a girl came to visit.

Whether it worked out or not, it was at least a good sign.

Old Mrs. Yun looked up at the sky, where a magpie was chirping on a tree branch.

The sound was cheerful to the ears.

After busying themselves for half the day, they finally prepared a sumptuous dinner for the family.

Old Mrs. Yun glanced at the time, "Oh, I forgot to take my medicine."

The doctor had specifically reminded her when she was discharged, not to miss her daily medication.

She hurried upstairs to take her medicine, feeling strange that despite not taking it for most of the day, she felt completely fine.

She felt ten years younger.

It shouldn’t be like this, after all, she had already burned Shen Cong’s talisman to ashes and swallowed it.

Whenever Yun Qi’s Evil Qi could bring disaster to the family, it should transfer to her.

She was mentally prepared for it, so why was there nothing?

After dinner in the evening.

Old Master cheerfully took out the chess board, "Old lady, shall we play a game?"

"Not me," Old Mrs. Yun quickly waved her hand, "I don’t want to play with you, haven’t won a game in half my life."

The old man was eager to play and coaxed her, even making promises, "How about I let you take three moves? If not, five moves?!"

Old Master gently persuaded, finally letting Old Mrs. Yun relent.

Half an hour later, Old Master wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Strange, when did this old lady become so good at chess!

"Again!"

They played until ten-thirty, Old Mrs. Yun went to bed comfortably.

Old Master sat with half-finished chess pieces, speechless and choked up.

The loss was too miserable!!!

In the end, they had a draw, and that was only because the old lady took pity on him losing so badly.

"Dad, did you even win a game?" Yun Qiuce came over gleefully.

"Get lost!"

Old Master slapped his son aside.

Several days passed.

Old Mrs. Yun grew more baffled by the day.

These days, she had prepared herself to shield the family from disaster, expecting all sorts of bad things to happen to her.

Unexpectedly, no bad things happened, only a bunch of good things.

Her youngest son recently started seeing the pretty girl from the Xu family, even going out to watch movies occasionally.

The eldest grandson, usually out until midnight, actually listened and studied, saying he was preparing for school.

So... what about Qi’s Evil Star constitution?

Was Shen Cong’s talisman effective or not?

If it was effective, then the swallowed talisman didn’t seem to be working.

If it wasn’t, then saying Qi was an Evil Star reincarnated was nonsense?

She thought about finding a time to go to the Shen Family again to ask about it.

Unexpectedly, one afternoon, it was Shen Heying who came to visit first.
