Mr. Xu broke down and shouted. “Xue, wake up. Stop talking.”

Xu Xue couldn’t hear him at all. A tear fell from her eyes. She continued. “I swear…”

Liu Sanniang interrupted Xu Xue. Liu Sanniang said, “You swear that you will live the life you want for the rest of your life and not be controlled by anyone.”

Xu Xue was stunned when she was suddenly interrupted. For a moment, she did not continue. She looked at Liu Sanniang blankly, as if wondering who she was!

Mr. Xu suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, please save my daughter.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Miao Zhen, who also looked at her viciously. Liu Sanniang had ruined her plan several times. If not for the fact that she could not do anything to her, she would have killed Liu Sanniang long ago.

Liu Sanniang said to Mr. Xu, “Uncle Xu, don’t just stand there. Go find a rope and tie her up. You don’t have to be polite to her.”

Mr. Xu looked at Liu Sanniang in shock. He wondered if he had heard wrongly, but Liu Sanniang’s expression was serious.

Mr. Xu glanced at Miao Zhen. The old woman was clearly angry and shouted. “How dare you!”

Mr. Xu gritted his teeth and went all out. He could not defeat this old witch, but Liu Sanniang could.

Miao Zhen had controlled his daughter right under his nose and even made Xu Xue swear. How could Mr. Xu not be angry? He immediately left the house to look for a rope.

Mr. Xu found a rope. Miao Zhen stared at Mr. Xu with a sinister gaze. Mr. Xu felt a chill run down his spine. He felt as if he was frozen and could not move.

Miao Zhen’s voice was extremely gloomy. “Your daughter’s life is still in my hands. I don’t have many days left to live. The wealth I’ve accumulated for my entire life will be left to Xue and Tianyou. Why do we have to come to this point?”

Her grandson was not in good health, but he would be able to have a healthy body in a few days. Xu Xue was just a fisherman and could not read. Her grandson was literate, so it was not her place to be picky.

It was a blessing that she could marry her grandson.

Mr. Xu only glared at Miao Zhen angrily. This was simply ridiculous. Miao Zhen was the one who poisoned his daughter and was now belittling her.

The corners of Mr. Xu’s mouth twitched as he said angrily, “No.”

Liu Sanniang stood up and walked over. She patted Mr. Xu’s back and said slowly, “Uncle Xu, tie her up.”

Mr. Xu felt a force protecting him. It was very warm and gave him a lot of power.

Mr. Xu looked at Miao Zhen and walked towards her with the rope in his hand.

Miao Zhen stomped her walking stick. “How dare you!”

Liu Sanniang said, “Why wouldn’t he dare? You’re old and your body is like a piece of rotten wood.”

Mr. Xu’s body was tense and nervous. Even though he was an ordinary person, he could feel the two forces competing. Mr. Xu glanced at Liu Sanniang and reached out his hand firmly to tie Miao Zhen. “If you don’t remove this love poison today, I won’t let you leave my house.”

Miao Zhen was furious. She glared at Liu Sanniang. She did not expect to meet such a strong opponent at this time in her life.

Liu Sanniang’s strength was very strange. She seemed to be born with the ability to suppress evil. Miao Zhen could feel that she was not too powerful yet. If she could master her power one day, no one in the world would be her match.

This kind of power made Miao Zhen jealous. The point of cultivating was to have something that ordinary people did not have.

As for what Miao Zhen wanted, the heavens had never satisfied her. If she had power like Liu Sanniang, she would have fulfilled her wish long ago.

Mr. Xu tied Miao Zhen up and walked to Xu Xue’s side. He looked at the confused Xu Xue and asked anxiously. “Miss Liu, what’s wrong with my daughter?”

Miao Zhen sat on the ground and snorted. “She’s poisoned. It’s incurable. I advise you not to waste your time. If Tianyou dies, Xu Xue will also die. There’s no way to cure it. The only way is to let her marry Tianyou and grow old with him.”

Mr. Xu glared at Miao Zhen angrily. He was so angry that he could not speak.

Miao Zhen looked at Liu Sanniang. “Young lady, you’re very capable at such a young age, but you have to admit that you are not omnipotent.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Miao Zhen and said, “In this world, there’s nothing that is unsolvable. You just have to find the person’s Achilles heel.”

Miao Zhen looked at Liu Sanniang gloomily. “Young girl, you know a lot. You’re right, but you still can’t remove the love poison.”

Miao Zhen looked at Xu Xue with a cold gaze. “I don’t like this girl at all. If it weren’t because my grandson took a liking to her, she wouldn’t have such good fortune to marry him.”

“She won’t have to worry about money for the rest of her life. This is something only dreamt by many people.”

Miao Zhen’s eyes darkened. She prepared for so many years just to give her grandson a healthy body. Although it happened much earlier than she expected, it did not matter. As long as the ending was the same, it was fine.

Initially, she wanted to spend more time with her grandson, but her plans could not keep up with the changes. Miao Zhen looked at Liu Sanniang with hatred. If not for Liu Sanniang, she would have been able to live a little longer.

Miao Zhen’s words made Mr. Xu so angry that his heart ached and his entire body trembled.

In Miao Zhen’s opinion, his daughter should consider herself lucky to be poisoned by her and should accept this marriage with gratitude.

Mr. Xu protected Xu Xue in his arms and said fiercely to Miao Zhen, “Luck? I would rather my daughter die than let her marry Zhang Tianyou.”

Miao Zhen’s nostrils flared as she glared at Mr. Xu. “You ungrateful thing.”

Miao Zhen took a few deep breaths, clearly furious.

She looked at Liu Sanniang and narrowed her eyes. “I won’t pursue this matter if you go back to where you came from. Don’t interfere in this matter. If you interfere too much, you’ll die young. You’d better keep this in mind. My grandson and Xu Xue’s marriage has already been decided.”
