“Naturally, people in the city didn’t believe it at first. But several families who had arranged marriages for the city lord had incidents, so they stopped trying to arrange marriages. The city lord is already twenty and still single,” the girl finished, then quickly added, “Of course, you don’t need to worry. You’re the chosen one and won’t have any problems.”
“…I’m not worried. I’m just curious. How did you decide that I was sent by Buddha?” Tao Yu was puzzled. If they determined she was marriageable to Yue Linze just because she fell from the temple’s roof beam, wasn’t that a bit too hasty?
The young girl was stunned, apparently having never considered this point. After hesitating for a while, she stammered, “Every year at this time, we come to the temple to burn incense, hoping that Buddha will bless the city lord to get married soon. Today is the city lord’s first time here, and right after he finished burning incense, you fell from the sky. Isn’t this enough to prove your identity?”
How could every alternate personality be so entangled with feudal superstitions? Tao Yu found it amusing, but after a while, she felt this coincidence was just too coincidental. This alternate personality had been unable to get married for so many years, waiting for some Buddha to arrange a marriage. And now, she happened to arrive on the day of burning incense, conveniently falling right in front of this alternate personality.
The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. Just as she was about to continue questioning, a knock came from the door. The young girl immediately ran over, exchanged a few words with someone at the door, and then returned looking troubled. Tao Yu took one look at her expression and had a bad feeling – and sure enough.
“Ma’am,” the young girl said worriedly, “The people who went to find a doctor just reported that all the doctors from the medical clinics are out today. There’s no doctor available to treat you right now.”
Tao Yu’s mouth twitched, “In such a big city, there’s not a single doctor?”
“…Our city isn’t big. There are only a few hundred households,” the young girl looked at her innocently.
