Chapter 168 The Secret Cannot Be Revealed
"What do you mean the people of the Flower Clan know about fortune-telling? I think it's nothing special. Are you talking nonsense just because I'm pretty?" Xiao Jiuyue put the melon seed shells in his hand on the table, and the pile was as high as a hill.
"Miss, how can you say I'm talking nonsense?" Hua Qing sat upright, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Xiao Jiuyue leaned back in his chair and asked, "Then tell me, who borrowed my luck? Where did the two souls come from?"
Xiao Jiuyue looked at Hua Qing with a sharp gaze, her heart beating like thunder, and she felt guilty as if she had been exposed, but her back was straight, her face was serious, and her eyes showed disbelief that she was talking nonsense.
"Miss, you are destined to be rich and powerful, with a smooth life. But when you were six years old, you fell seriously ill, and your fate changed. Later, someone borrowed your luck, which led to the disaster today." Hua Qing said confidently.
Xiao Jiuyue chuckled: "As long as you pay attention, the whole Shengjing will know that I had a serious illness when I was six years old, and I don't remember many things." She always felt strange in her heart. When did she come to the welfare home?
"If you don't believe me, Miss, just think I'm talking nonsense." Hua Qing shrugged. Her gaze fell on Xiao Jiuyue, finally fixing on her eyes. "As for the dual souls, I believe Miss should know more about it than I do. Now Miss's fate is even more precious."
Hua Qing stared at Xiao Jiuyue's face. This was the noble person who could truly save the Hua people!
"Hahaha~" Xiao Jiuyue laughed and asked, "Then tell me, who borrowed my luck? Has my body been taken over by someone else?"
She looked at Hua Qing curiously, with countless questions in her heart. Did Hua Qing know how she traveled through time?
Hua Qing closed his eyes and said with the look of a hermit, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
"If you can't say anything, then what else can you say?" Xiao Jiuyue suppressed the urge to throw the melon seed shells in his hand at Hua Qing. This was keeping people in suspense, wouldn't that make them angry to death?
"Young lady should be able to know who benefits from the matter of borrowing luck." Hua Qing didn't realize how irritating his words were.
“…”
Xiao Jiuyue had completely given up. Hua Qing had already spoken what she wanted to say, and her provocative words only made her even more confused. She changed the subject and asked, "How did you know my eldest brother? You're knowledgeable in numerology, and you could make money telling fortunes for others. Why did you come all the way to Hongdu?"
"God, please guide me to meet Xiao Jialing and guide me to be with the eldest lady." Hua Qing clasped his hands together and bowed towards the sky.
Xiao Jiuyue: "..."
"Then do you need to see a doctor for the poison in your body?" Xiao Jiuyue asked again. As long as Hua Qing had no ill intentions and had high martial arts skills, Xiao Jiuyue would not reject it.
"No need. I can cure this poison in two days." Hua Qing shook his head and said, "Miss, you can test my skills. I can protect you."
"Okay." After Xiao Jiuyue couldn't get any information out of him, he left without staying any longer.
"Lianxin, find a smart girl to watch over the place. If anything unusual happens, make sure to inform us in advance." Xiao Jiuyue gave the order. When he returned to the house, he saw Xiao Jiayuan playing with shells.
"Sister, look, the conch that big brother and daddy sent me is so beautiful!" Xiao Jiayuan held the conch in his hand and put it close to his ear from time to time: "It seems like I can really hear the sound of the sea."
After listening to it, Xiao Jiayuan put it to Xiao Jiuyue's ear and said, "Sister, listen quickly, there really is the sound of the sea."
"Let me listen." Xiao Jiuyue listened carefully before nodding in agreement, "It really seems like the sound of the sea."
"I told you there was one." Xiao Jiayuan said happily, "Sister, when can we go see the sea? What does the sea look like? Daddy and big brother sent so many things here, are they okay now?"
"The sea..." Xiao Jiuyue had just started to speak when Su said, "The sea is very big. When your father comes back, I'll tell you what it's like. Your father and eldest brother will definitely be fine. They're living well there!"
"That's great, Mom. Then when can we see Dad and Big Brother?" Xiao Jiayuan asked.
Su: "..." Her eyes were slightly red. She also wanted to see Xiao Fu and Jia Ling.
"Mother, Jiayuan, maybe we'll be reunited soon. It's a good thing that Daddy and the others sent so many things this time. It means they're living well in Lingnan, with enough food and warm clothes." Xiao Jiuyue quickly added, "If Daddy and the others knew that we opened an embroidery shop and that business is booming, they would definitely be very happy."
"Mom's embroidery is truly amazing. Those people are eager to snatch the clothes she makes!" Xiao Jiuyue changed the subject and praised her beautiful mother. "And Jiayuan's homework. Mr. Jiang praised Jiayuan for his excellent grades. If Dad knew, he would definitely not say Jiayuan is too playful."
Xiao Jiayuan puffed out his chest and said, "I don't play around anymore."
"Yes, Jiayuan has grown up." Xiao Jiuyue reached out and pinched Xiao Jiayuan's face.
"Sister, I'm grown up now. You can't pinch my face anymore." Xiao Jiayuan puffed his cheeks and looked at Xiao Jiuyue angrily.
"No matter how big he is, he's still my brother. Can't I pinch him anymore?" Xiao Jiuyue pinched him again deliberately, then looked at the beautiful mother and asked, "Mom, tell me, can I pinch him?"
"Jia Yuan, your sister wants to pinch you. It's because she likes you and she can't hurt you." Su also reached out and pinched you, exclaiming, "It's soft." No wonder Yue'er likes to pinch you.
"Yeah, I said you were chubby and your face is easy to pinch." Xiao Jiuyue couldn't help but smile when she saw that Xiao Jiayuan had given up resisting.
"I'm going to memorize my lessons." Xiao Jiayuan ran away, holding his face, afraid that his mother and sister would pinch his face again.
"Jiayuan, you've grown up too." Su looked at Xiao Jiayuan's departing back, feeling filled with emotion.
"Mom." Xiao Jiuyue pulled Su to sit down and said, "When I was six years old, I fell seriously ill."
"Yes, after returning from the palace banquet during the Chinese New Year that year, you fell seriously ill. I was terrified." Su still felt a pang of fear when she mentioned this incident. She said, "We invited the imperial physician and the medical practitioner, but your illness just wouldn't be cured. Later, your father had no choice but to search for a medical practitioner everywhere to treat you."
"What happened next? Who cured my illness?" Xiao Jiuyue asked curiously. The original owner didn't seem to have any impression of this.
"A Taoist priest, who looks... a little unkempt, but the strange thing is, after he treated your illness, you got better." Su couldn't understand this, but from then on, whenever he came across a temple, he would always go there to pray for peace.
"Mom, do you still remember the Taoist priest's name? Where is he from? Can you still find him?" Xiao Jiuyue always felt something was wrong.
"That Taoist priest is not from Shengjing and has traveled all over the place. Who knows where to find him?" Su chuckled, but suddenly, she stopped smiling and asked, "Why are you asking this for no reason? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Su held her hand and looked here and there.
