Chapter 209 Ying Tianlu learns that Ying Yuexuan is a fake heiress [3 updates]

The name and location sounded somewhat familiar, causing Mrs. Mu to suddenly stop in her tracks.

She frowned and began to ponder where she had heard the pronunciation of the word "zi jin" before.

Mu Cheng had already entered the courtyard, and within seconds, even his back was no longer visible.

Not having been summoned, Madam Mu dared not linger there.

She didn't have time to think it through and quickly left.

After returning to her room, Madam Mu thought for a long time before finally remembering.

The adopted daughter of the Ying family in Shanghai, isn't her name just those two syllables?

But how could Mu Cheng utter the name of an adopted daughter?

It sounds like Mu Heqing is the one who should go find it himself.

Madam Mu felt there was absolutely no possibility of it.

However, she is always cautious and will not let the slightest sound escape her notice.

After thinking for a long time, Mrs. Mu made a phone call to the Shanghai office.

She didn't ask the Ying family, but went straight to Mu Chenzhou.

After all, she needed accurate information.

If the Ying family exaggerated, she wouldn't be able to make a judgment.

Upon hearing the name "Ying Zijin", Mu Chenzhou was taken aback for a moment.

"Her?" Then, his tone became much calmer. "She herself is nothing special. Her confidence comes from the Zhong family and the Fu family."

Madam Mu, from the Zhong family, knew what had happened.

Ying Zijing is the adopted daughter of the Ying family, but Old Master Zhong treats her very well.

She never bothered with the affairs of other families.

Could it be the Fu family?

Madam Mu recalled that Mu Heqing had spent some time in Shanghai when he was young and had some connections with the Fu family.

Just then, Mu Chenzhou said again: "The Fu family has several young masters. The seventh one is a playboy, but he is the most favored by Old Master Fu, so he is quite arrogant."

His arrival in Shanghai from the capital was no secret; it had already spread throughout Shanghai's elite circles.

Mu Chenzhou didn't like socializing, but he didn't resist it either, so he got to know many rich young men.

Naturally, I heard about what happened at Century Shopping Mall.

She can even order her own elder brother and sister-in-law around at will; she's definitely been spoiled by Old Master Fu.

He has no interest in getting to know such a person.

Mu Chenzhou felt the same way about Ying Zijin.

However, he was mostly disappointed.

“Ying Zijin is with him, but she has good grades at school and is quite popular.”

Hearing this, Madam Mu didn't ask any more questions, knowing what the situation was.

Those who lack inherent strength and rely on others will ultimately not last long.

How could someone like that be worthy of having anything to do with the Mu family?

The sun was setting in the west, gradually sinking below the horizon.

More people came to the island, especially to the bounty area, where there were many people coming and going.

Ying Zijing looked around but didn't find the medicinal herbs she needed, so she didn't stay there any longer.

After parting ways with Yunshan, she took off the human skin mask that Fu Yunshen had given her and put on a different makeup.

Although her disguise was just simple makeup, it was able to fool the detection equipment.

When she went to Norton University, she specially obtained several new identity documents and passed through customs smoothly.

However, two hours had passed, and the siblings, Fifth Moon and Fifth Wind, were still following behind her.

However, she didn't kick them out.

"By the way, miss, what's your name?" Fifth Month finally remembered something important. "I've never seen you on this island before. Did you just arrive?"

Ying Zijing didn't answer, but looked up and asked, "How long have you been here?"

There are quite a few permanent residents on the island.

However, to obtain the permanent resident qualification certificate, one's growth value on the NOK forum must be over 100,000.

Growth points are consumables; they accumulate slowly but are consumed quickly.

"It's not long, just two months." Fifth Month waved her hand and sighed sadly, "But it's been so long, and I still haven't earned enough for the fare home."

She was very discouraged: "Brother, the people here are really hard to fool. Unlike when we were in the capital, those idiots could easily scam you out of 100,000 yuan."

Fifth Wind patted his clothes, which were no different from those of a beggar, and looked inscrutable without saying a word.

"Miss, please don't mind." Fifth Moon sighed, "My brother has some mental issues and is slow to react."

Ying Zijin nodded: "You have two more siblings?"

Although May has a lively personality, she is definitely not really stupid.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to pack up the fortune-telling stall so readily.

“Yes.” Fifth Moon counted on her fingers. “I also have an older brother named Fifth Flower and a younger sister named Fifth Snow.”

Ying Zijing glanced at her.

This naming method is absolutely terrible.

“My brother and I were thrown here by my grandfather.” Fifth Month didn’t hide anything. “He made us train here. Miss, if you hadn’t generously transferred 500 yuan to me, my brother and I would definitely have starved to death today.”

Ying Zijin remained silent for a moment.

She remembered something from a long time ago.

The last time she was on Earth, she stayed in China for less than three years.

Before leaving, I took a quick stroll around.

At that time, it was still the imperial dynasty, but it was nearing its end.

She took on several apprentices and passed on some of her skills to them.

One of them was Fifth Shaoxian.

Divination is not something you can understand simply by studying books like the "I Ching" or "Plum Blossom Divination".

Like ancient martial arts and ancient medicine, it requires talent.

Fifth Shaoxian possesses exceptional talent in divination, even capable of predicting major events such as the fate of the nation.

However, because they glimpse the future or alter cause and effect, fortune tellers also have short lifespans.

The moment she saw Fifth Shaoxian, she could already see his lifespan.

36 years old.

Changing one's lifespan is too difficult, especially for the person performing the divination.

If the diviner tries to change their lifespan, then the lifespan of their closest relatives will be reduced accordingly, and they will also suffer unexpected disasters.

Therefore, generally speaking, fortune tellers would not do this.

However, when she left Earth, Fifth Shaoxian was only in his early twenties, and she didn't know what happened after that.

And right now, she can't even calculate things that far back in time.

Ying Zijing turned her head: "Have you ever heard of the name Fifth Shaoxian?"

"Fifth Shaoxian? That sounds familiar." Fifth Yue scratched her head and nudged Fifth Feng's arm. "Brother, who is that again? Do you remember?"

It took a full thirty seconds for Fifth Wind to react.

He spoke very slowly, which made Fifth Month so impatient that she wanted to slap him: "Ancestor!"

"Oh right, right, our great-grandfather!" With this reminder, Fifth Month also remembered, "He was my great-great-great-grandfather, I don't even know how many great-great-grandfathers he was, but he died young. Oh well, our family has never lived very long anyway, my grandfather can't even get out of bed anymore."

She blinked: "Miss, how do you know our ancestor's name?"

Although in the capital, the Fifth Family is on par with the Nie and Mu Families.

But in reality, over the past ten years or so, fewer and fewer people know about the Fifth Company, and many people even think they are scammers.

She and Fifth Wind are direct descendants of the Fifth family, specifically the lineage of Fifth Shaoxian.

"It's calculated."

"..."

Fifth Month's lips twitched: "Miss, you really do look like a charlatan."

"It's alright." After confirming, Ying Zijing's brows relaxed a bit, and she even became a little generous, "If you want to go back to China, I can give you a free ride."

**

China, Shanghai.

Since being detained for fifteen days and receiving a warning from Ying Tianlu, Zhong Manhua has kept quiet for a long time.

Even though Zhong Manhua tried to hide this matter, the news of her detention spread to many people.

As a result, these days, the wealthy women who used to fawn over her now avoid her whenever they see her.

Zhong Manhua had never suffered such an injustice before.

However, Ying Tianlu completely ignored her.

These past few days, she's been confiding in Ying Yuexuan every day.

Even though Ying Yuexuan listened to Zhong Manhua's words, she was still annoyed, but she couldn't refuse.

“Mom, my sister isn’t at school. I’ve looked for her. After what you did, don’t bother her.” Ying Yuexuan held back, still maintaining a respectful attitude. “Can you please not be so prejudiced? A lot of what you know is probably just hearsay.”

"Yes, I know it's wrong of me to be prejudiced, but can you blame me?" Zhong Manhua was still very sad when she brought it up. "She's clearly my own daughter, but she's not as good as you in any way. I can't teach her, and I just can't teach her. I want my daughter to be successful, how is that wrong?"

Outside the door, Ying Tianlu paused, his hand resting on the door.

It's the last day of the month, everyone! Check your wallets to see if you have any monthly passes left!

I've been having some writer's block lately, but I'll add an extra chapter after I've sorted out the outline in a few days.
