When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 231: Eliza Hayes Obtains Information
After returning home, Faye Turner gave the emerald that her grandfather had given her to Adrian Lancaster.
About a month later, the final product could be made, completely in accordance with her design. ππ³π¦ππ€ππ£π―β΄π·π¦π.πππ
This was her first gift to the baby, very meaningful.
The next day, Adrian Lancaster took Mr. Kerr to a department store counter to pick out a necklace as a gift for Faye Turner.
This was the second necklace she received, and she still liked it very much.
As expected, just after giving the necklace, grandfatherβs call came in, asking Adrian Lancaster if heβd learned anything.
Knowing he gave his wife a gift, grandfather was relieved. Before hanging up, he even praised, "This piece of elm wood has finally come to his senses!"
The night before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At The Lockwood Old Manor, Eliza Hayes was playing chess with grandfather under the camphor tree in the courtyard, with the evening breeze carrying the scent of osmanthus flowers.
"Dad, Iβve always had a question, and today I finally want to ask you," Eliza Hayes placed down a chess piece, raised her eyes, and showed a long-lost gentle smile.
The old master was very happy, "Ask away, as long as I know it, Iβll tell you everything."
All these years, he has truly treated her like his own daughter.
Ever since Caleb Lancaster got sick, the old master had urged Eliza Vance several times to remarry.
But she was unmoved.
Day after day, she stayed by the side of a seriously ill person, unable to see any hope, making herself melancholic during the prime of her life.
Old Master Lancaster saw it all and felt pain in his heart.
Eliza Hayes watched as the old master placed down a chess piece, sipped a cup of Puβer tea, and then softly asked, "Why did you choose Faye Turner as the Lancaster familyβs granddaughter-in-law and not someone else?"
Grandfather laughed heartily!
Thinking of Faye Turner, this young girl, put him in a good mood.
He spoke honestly, "Because I asked the old master at The Azure Cloud Convent to read a prophecy, and he said that the first girl I meet when I go out on the 28th of next month is the ideal match for Adrian. Moreover, this girl brings prosperity to her husband and the family, making her a treasure for the Lancaster family."
"The Azure Cloud Convent?" Eliza Hayes was not unfamiliar, though she has always been skeptical of mysticism.
"Though you canβt see it yet, in the future, with Faye Turner in our family, everything will get better for the Lancaster family, and all big and small matters will turn into blessings," the old master had immense faith in this prophecy.
Eliza Hayes was skeptical, thinking itβs just a little girl; how could she have such abilities?
"Dad, whatβs the name of this master?" Eliza Hayes became interested, "Are his prophecies generally accurate? Have any of them come true?"
"Accurate, very accurate, and all have come true," grandfather said as he placed a chess piece down, "In fact, everything weβre meant to experience in life, and its final outcome, has long been predetermined."
The middle-aged woman over fifty felt a twinge of sadness while listening.
The old master added, "Effort can slightly alter your environment temporarily, but for most things, effort is useless; it relies on fate."
Eliza Hayes had a thought - she wanted to meet this master.
Since Faye Turner and Adrian Lancaster got their marriage certificate, she hadnβt slept well for several nights, always feeling anxious.
She even had nightmares a few nights.
This girl, maybe... sheβs not a good person; at least Faye Turnerβs existence is not a good thing for Eliza Hayes.
The next morning, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The servants of The Lockwood Old Manor were all busy preparing the items needed for todayβs moon worship incense burning.
Eliza Hayes specifically instructed Aunt Yun, "You must keep a close watch on him, take all precautions, and donβt let any bacteria get close."
Because she wasnβt sure when Adrian Lancaster and Faye Turner would return, supposedly they werenβt working today.
"Maβam, must you go today?"
"Yes, to avoid long nights with dreams, I need to figure things out."
Eliza Hayes took a driver and drove to The Azure Cloud Convent, a return trip of only about 100 kilometers, not very far.
