Chapter 571 - 225 From Jinx to Lucky Star?
The rumor that Yueyao was a Lucky Star quickly reached Lady Cheng’s ears. Originally overjoyed by the imminent arrival of a grandchild, she was now so enraged by the news that she smashed the cup she was holding fiercely onto the ground.
Lady Cheng cursed angrily, "Such a Jinx, bringing misfortune to whoever she encounters. Who on earth is spreading such nonsense?" She couldn’t fathom what sort of bewitching drug that wretched girl had given the Old Master to make him favor her even more than her own Linlin.
Lady Cheng declared furiously, "Whoever dares to spout such nonsense will get twenty strokes." She wanted to stop the rumors but unfortunately, Zhuang Ruolan managed the household at Ma’s Mansion and with both Ma Chengteng and Ma Peng’s public support, there was nothing she could do, despite her anger.
Ma Linlin cursed a few times after getting wind of the news. However, Loo Ying, crumbling her handkerchief in her hands, was full of envy. If only she could be doted on by her uncle and cousin like that, she wouldn’t be worried about marriage prospects. But now she was already fourteen, and there was still no talk of a marriage for her.
Yueyao merely smiled upon hearing this rumor. Jinx or Lucky Star, it was her life to live, and she couldn’t care less about how others saw her.
The talk of Yueyao being a Lucky Star quickly spread outside. People outside marveled, pointing out that within the Lian Mansion, the Third Miss Lian was a disaster, yet once she was in Ma’s Mansion, she became a Lucky Star.
The Lady of Marquis Jingning’s Residence, Madam Ping, hearing the rumor, laughed and said, "Perhaps Yueyao is just more auspicious for the Ma Family than for the Lian family."
Madam Ping’s maid, Ban Yu, giggled behind her hand, "I have never heard of someone who is unlucky for their own family but brings fortune to another. Clearly, someone is scheming behind the scenes."
Another maid, Ban Shan, however, felt the rumor must be true. Whether Yueyao was a Lucky Star or not, she certainly wasn’t a disaster, "I think the rumor isn’t false at all."
