Chapter 22 I Will Look at the Face

"You don't understand!" Ah Fu said angrily, "This young lady is different from the others. She truly respects you, Master. She's never been like other women who are either afraid or deliberately shy away from you. She's been the subject of a lot of rumors because of this, and Master has always felt bad about it."

"Isn't this the same as what I said?" Xu Chuchu asked.

"You..." Ah Fu was angry, but he couldn't argue with her, so he became even angrier.

"Okay, I won't say any more." Xu Chuchu said, "I'll go back by myself. You guys can talk slowly."

She turned around and walked a few steps, touching the peach wood sword she had just bought behind her. Thinking that although Xiao Yu had a strange temper, he was a righteous man and was quite nice to her, she thought about it and walked back.

Ah Fu was still waiting there for the three people who wanted to reminisce about the past.

Without waiting for Ah Fu to ask, Xu Chuchu came up and said, "Well, let me tell you something. I can read faces, and Miss Shao is very thoughtful and self-centered. I suggest your son not to get too close to her, otherwise there will be trouble in the future."

"You're not done yet!" Ah Fu's eyes almost popped out.

"I'm very accurate at reading faces. I'm absolutely sure I'll never make a mistake." Xu Chuchu said, suddenly feeling a little uneasy. "But I'm only saying this once. How you decide is up to you."

To be honest, it’s not good to say these words, and it’s not good not to say them either. Xu Chuchu understands this in her heart.

According to Ah Fu, Xiao Yu might have some "ideas" about this Miss Shao. If he can't see clearly, he will probably be cheated and nothing will be left of him in the future.

Xu Chuchu felt guilty after receiving someone's kindness and watching him jump into the fire pit.

But nothing has happened yet, and you are already blatantly saying bad things about someone's "sweetheart", which is really disgusting behavior.

She couldn't decide for herself, so she simply passed the ball to Ah Fu. After all, Ah Fu and his son were close friends, so telling Ah Fu that she rounded up was the same as telling Xiao Yu, so she wouldn't feel guilty about it.

Whatever decision they make in the future will have nothing to do with her.

Xu Chuchu’s calculations were very sound, but Ah Fu was not stupid either.

Although a month ago, he would never have believed that anyone could tell a person's character from "face reading".

But these days he had seen Xu Chuchu fortune-telling, searching for corpses, beheading fox demons, and even exposing the county magistrate's conspiracy in person. She was indeed a very capable and courageous fortune teller.

It would be fine if she had deliberately made up these words because she coveted the young master's body.

If it was true, should he tell the young master? If he didn't, he was afraid of delaying the matter, but if he did, he was afraid of the young master getting angry.

"No, you can't leave!" Ah Fu quickly stopped Xu Chuchu, "You see, why don't you tell the master yourself?"

"You are so loyal, why don't you tell the master?" Xu Chuchu turned around and ran away.

One of them wanted to take a walk, and the other wanted to stop him, and they almost got into a fight in the street.

"What's wrong with you two? Fighting in the street is so shameless!" Xiao Yu returned to the carriage at some point, his face full of displeasure. "What were you talking about just now? What did you want to tell me?"

Xu Chuchu and Afu quickly stopped, shook their heads guiltily, and dared not say a word.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu only frowned and didn't pursue the matter any further. He turned to Xu Chuchu and said, "You, come with me."

As he said this, he walked across the street to the Shao brothers and sisters.

"Oh." Xu Chuchu finally reacted. It was probably Xiao Yu who called her just now, but she and Ah Fu were arguing so fiercely that neither of them heard it. This forced him to come over and call for help, which made him lose face, so he was unhappy.

But why look for her again?

Xiao Yu brought Xu Chuchu to the Shao siblings and said to Lord Shao from the Dali Temple, "Brother Mingjie, this is a physiognomist I met in Tailing. His surname is Xu. He's quite capable and might be able to help you this time."

Before Shao Mingjie could say anything, his sister Miss Shao spoke first: "Wow, a fortune teller? I've never seen a female fortune teller before. Fortune teller sister, Brother Yu said you are capable, so you must be very good, right?"

Brother Yu, Yue...and who is your sister.

This Miss Shao's expression and tone were full of sweetness and innocence. At first glance, she gave the impression of being a cute girl who was innocent, friendly and lovely. However, Xu Chuchu had been on guard because she had seen her face long ago. She had noticed that she was looking him up and down, and there was a hint of victory hidden in her eyes.

Did he treat her as an enemy? He was too sensitive, Xu Chuchu was helpless.

Of course, these are things that girls can directly and keenly perceive. Xiao Yu probably didn't notice it, otherwise he wouldn't "respect" her.

"Thank you." Xu Chuchu nodded. She didn't want to have any conflicts with others. She wanted to keep out of each other's way and go her own way.

"Azhi, stop talking nonsense." Shao Mingjie glanced at his sister helplessly. He ignored Xu Chuchu and turned to ask Xiao Yu, "Brother Xiao, what do you mean? Can a physiognomist provide any help with the case I'm on?"

"Aren't you coming to Tailing County to hunt down the tomb robbers who've been rampant lately?" Xiao Yu replied. "Xiangshi Xu knows how to tell fortunes and find people, and she's also familiar with tombs. Having her around can save you a lot of trouble."

He then said to Xu Chuchu, "You will follow Lord Shao to capture the criminals. If you can help in any way, you must do your best. Don't worry about the reward. I will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

Xu Chuchu secretly curled her lips.

Oh my god, it turns out that Xiao Yu called her over to assign her to work for another group.

Although it's cool when he praises her abilities, it's also annoying when he orders her directly, okay?

Before she could reply, Shao Mingjie laughed.

"Wait, wait, wait. Brother Xiao, I remember you didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, and you were also disgusted by these charlatans. How come you believe in them now, and are even willing to pay money to be cheated?"

Xu Chuchu's face fell even more.

That was a harsh statement, calling her a "charlatan" and claiming Xiao Yu had been deceived. While many people in this world consider fortune tellers to be "swindlers," who would go to a fortune teller's face and call her a liar? It was a lack of even the most basic respect.

When Xiao Yu introduced Xu Chuchu to him, he didn't even look at her and only spoke to Xiao Yu. At that time, Xu Chuchu felt that this person was not very polite, but thinking about the ancient people's strong class concept, he didn't care.

Now it seems that this person is just an arrogant, impolite and uneducated fool.

Xiao Yu frowned upon hearing him say this. "Brother Shao, your words are not true. This is a different time. In the past, I was so ignorant that I mistakenly thought all fortune tellers were frauds. Later, after meeting Fortune Teller Xu, I realized that there are indeed people with real talent and knowledge among them. If you don't believe me, Brother Shao, you don't need to be sarcastic."

"Alright, alright." Shao Mingjie said indifferently, "Then take her with you and see what she can do."
