"Ah Yao, come here."

Zhou Yichuan suddenly called out to her, interrupting Jun Yao's fragmented memories.

Because of Zhou Yichuan's call, the others automatically made way for Jun Yao, allowing her to reach Old Madam Zhou directly.

Junyao lifted her dress and took two quick steps to stand in front of Old Madam Zhou.

Before she could speak, Old Madam Zhou smiled and said, "Ah Yao used to have the sweetest tongue; Grandma loved listening to you talk. Look at Grandma now, see if I've changed at all since I came back."

Everyone was waiting to see how she would fawn over him.

But Junyao shook her head sadly, "Grandma, I dare not say."

Madam Zhou smiled kindly, "There are no outsiders here today, only family. Just say what you want to say. Don't tell me you think Grandma has aged a lot?"

"You haven't grown old, but you're sick." Junyao couldn't find any dark history about Old Madam Zhou in her memory, so she spoke politely.

Madam Zhou was slightly taken aback. "I don't feel any discomfort in my body... It's just the same old ailments from before."

Junyao, however, was very certain, "I can't be wrong, you are about to have a serious illness."

The sound of gasps from the other members of the Zhou family immediately filled the air.

"Really?"

"How can you tell? Qiao Junyao isn't a medical student."

"Has she played too many smart characters in the entertainment industry in the past, and now she thinks she's really capable? On such an important day, she dares to spout nonsense!"

Everyone was eager to try.

She wanted to blame Jun Yao, but then she secretly glanced at Zhou Yichuan's expression.

Hesitating for a moment, he heard Old Madam Zhou chuckle softly.

"A serious illness? Is it that serious?"

She turned to look at Zhou Yichuan, patted the back of his hand and laughed, "No wonder I felt that Xiaochuan was in much better spirits lately... It's all thanks to A Yao. Let's go inside and talk about it over dinner, and see how to treat my illness."

Seeing how much Madam Zhou took Jun Yao's words seriously, the other members of the Zhou family felt a pang of jealousy, but dared not utter a word.

Media reporters quickly captured this meaningful scene with their cameras.

They already had the title for this issue in mind.

It's something like, "A washed-up celebrity returns to a wealthy family and is unexpectedly favored."

Just as several veteran media reporters were distracted and drafting their articles, a figure suddenly appeared from the side.

The dark figure quickly flung the object in its hand towards Madam Zhou and the other two. By the time they realized something was wrong, the tiny particles were already raining down like raindrops.

"Sticky rice?……"

"This doesn't seem to be ordinary glutinous rice; it's actually golden?"

"No, the key question now is: why would someone throw glutinous rice at Grandma!"

The rest of the Zhou family stood in front of Old Madam Zhou, trampling the golden glutinous rice on the ground until it was filthy.

But when they came to their senses, they found the whole thing utterly absurd and ridiculous.

Sun Meizhi, who was scattering glutinous rice, was immediately subdued by Zhou's bodyguards.

"Isn't this my in-laws? What's going on here?" Old Madam Zhou scrutinized Sun Meizhi's strange expression. "Is it customary in your hometown to scatter glutinous rice when welcoming someone?"

Sun Meizhi was both anxious and angry, and apologized to Old Madam Zhou while crying.

"Madam, I did all this to protect you!"

"Oh?" Old Madam Zhou raised an eyebrow at Zhou Yichuan. "This is the first time I've ever seen such a unique method of protecting someone."

Zhou Yichuan nodded in understanding. "I've also invited Master Liang over today. Let's ask him to take a look now."

"Don't trust him! He's in cahoots with this monster!"

Sun Meizhi shouted in a hoarse voice, "Golden glutinous rice is a special talisman for exorcising evil spirits! It should have temporarily subdued this monster!"

Jun Yao grinned mischievously and said in agreement, "Yes, this golden glutinous rice is really something else. It completely stunned me. I couldn't move at all."

Sun Meizhi: "..."

Seeing that Jun Yao was about to undermine her, Sun Meizhi had no choice but to think of another way to get back into Madam Zhou's attention.

With a hint of persuasion, she pleaded, "Madam, please don't listen to Liang Jingu's team's nonsense anymore! They're just a bunch of swindlers who only know how to cheat people out of money! I've brought a local feng shui master from Gaocheng overnight; he's a renowned master both domestically and internationally! He can definitely get rid of this evil spirit around you and Yichuan!"

Following the direction Sun Meizhi pointed, Old Madam Zhou looked at Jun Yao with a puzzled expression.

"The monster you're talking about, is it Ayao?"

Old Madam Zhou couldn't help but chuckle. "My dear in-law, you're too kind. This is your own daughter. The day you sent her to marry into our Zhou family, you held my hand and said that your daughter would bring the Zhou family lasting blessings and prosperity... How long has it been, and you've already started calling her a monster?"

A low chuckle came from the people around her, and Sun Meizhi felt utterly ashamed.

But she quickly regained her composure and explained further, "Madam, you don't know this, but she was perfectly fine just two days ago. She was recently possessed by a demon! This demon not only has no regard for our mother-daughter relationship, but it also used some kind of sorcery to control Liang Jingu. Yesterday, it even forced that charlatan to exorcise the demon for me!"

Madam Zhou then looked at Zhou Yichuan.

Zhou Yichuan nodded slightly. "Yes, the exorcism ceremony was held at the Linshui Mansion yesterday."

Madam Zhou nodded as if suddenly realizing something. "So, was the exorcism ritual successful or a failure?"

Zhou Yichuan looked at the crazed Sun Meizhi and said calmly, "Judging from the current situation, it seems we've failed."

"Oh dear, that won't do." Old Madam Zhou exclaimed in feigned surprise. "Then let's quickly take our daughter-in-law inside and have a proper chat! Since we've already invited a master from Gaocheng, let Master Liang and this expert from out of town have a friendly spar and see who's the best. Who cares about black or white, a cat that catches mice is a good cat."

Upon hearing Madam Zhou's words, everyone knew that she was joking, half-seriously.

No one said another word, and they all followed Madam Zhou into the banquet hall.

The feng shui master troupe from out of town was also allowed to enter the banquet hall with Zhou Yichuan's permission.

But the Qiao family, who accompanied Sun Meizhi, could only wait anxiously in the parking lot.

"Is what Sun Meizhi said true? Is she trying to trick us again?"

"She dares!" Qiao Jiande sneered, puffing on his cigar with confidence. "She was kicked out of the Linshui Mansion by Zhou Yichuan this time, and she already knows that her power is gone and no one can save her! If she doesn't find a way to make a contribution, she can only spend the rest of her life in the small courtyard with my mother, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures! With her personality, she will definitely fight for another way out for herself."

Aunt Qiao was still worried. "But what kind of monsters are there in this world? Can Sun Meizhi really defeat that little bitch Qiao Junyao?"

"Don't worry, the feng shui team she hired has a very close relationship with her family. Money talks... Anyway, as long as they can prove to the Zhou family that Qiao Junyao is a scumbag, that little bitch won't be able to ride roughshod over me anymore!"

Following Qiao Jiande's words, Aunt Qiao also began to look forward to a bright future.

"Yes, as long as we can get rid of this little bitch this time, Nianyu will still have a chance to marry into the Zhou family in the future..."
