Chapter 107 The Source of the Knot
Upon entering the courtyard, Madam Chu sighed.
Because Xiao Caidie was still eating.
Should we go in now?
Qin Jin'an looked at Madam Chu and asked.
Madam Chu nodded: "Little fairy, my daughter is a little special. When you see her, could you please not look at her with disgust? You are still so young, I don't know if you can understand what I mean."
Of course, they had to go in, but before they did, Madam Chu wanted Qin Jin'an to understand her meaning.
Qin Jin'an nodded: "Don't worry, Madam, I understand."
She is a child, but not an ordinary child.
Only then was Lady Chu relieved.
She led Qin Jin'an into the house, but before they even entered, Xiao Caidie's roar echoed from inside: "Don't come in, all of you get out..."
Xiao Caidie broke down emotionally. She didn't want outsiders to see her like this, and she had broken her promise to her mother.
For more than an hour, she ate and vomited repeatedly, but her inner pain only increased, because she was afraid of being seen like this.
Standing outside the door, Madam Chu felt a pang of heartache. She calmed herself down and led Qin Jin'an inside.
"Mother, please don't come to see me, I beg you, please go away..."
Xiao Caidie turned her back, pleading in a tearful voice.
The table was a mess of food. In her emotional breakdown, Xiao Caidie had no manners whatsoever. She looked ugly and disheveled.
The maid inside the room kept her head down and was completely invisible.
Qin Jin'an looked around and saw it.
She walked towards Xiao Caidie. After entering the house, she naturally saw Xiao Caidie. She was dressed very well, and she was quite fat.
Looking at the leftover food on the table, Qin Jin'an felt a pang of regret.
It's a pity that such a delicious meal wasn't properly enjoyed.
She walked up to Xiao Caidie, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Xiao Caidie angrily turn around and raise her hand to hit her...
Qin Jin'an instinctively hugged Xiao Caidie, saying, "Sister, don't hit me."
Her body was already frail, and she couldn't withstand even the slightest blow.
She was still shaken after hugging Xiao Caidie.
Xiao Caidie didn't really mean to hit anyone; she was just trying to scare them. Qin Jin'an suddenly jumped into her arms, which startled her.
She pushed Qin Jin'an away with a cold face: "Get away from me."
Qin Jin'an held the limp Xiao Caidie in his arms and subconsciously squeezed her arm: "So soft..."
She couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Caidie froze, unsure of what to do next.
Madam Chu came to her senses and walked over gently, saying, "Xiao Die, she is a little fairy. You promised your mother, is this just this once?"
Xiao Caidie remained silent, not daring to look Chu Shi in the eye, knowing she had disappointed her mother again.
Taking the opportunity, Madam Chu looked at the maids and said, "All of you, go out and leave the courtyard."
Chunyi glanced at Xiao Caidie, suppressed her unease, and mustered her courage to speak: "Madam, please let me stay. I am worried about Miss."
Chunyi's heart was pounding. For some reason, she had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. She had heard of this little fortune teller before she even went to have her fortune told, but Chu had already invited him over.
She was afraid that stepping down would cause her to miss information, so she broke the rules.
"Mother, let spring stay."
Xiao Caidie didn't want to have to say it to Chunyi again later, so she rarely spoke.
Madam Chu frowned. Fortune telling was definitely a secret, and there were some things that even her personal maid couldn't know.
Chu's expression was stern: "The spring breeze has faded away."
Seeing that Madam Chu was serious, Xiao Caidie said to Chunyi, "Chunyi, you may leave."
There was no way to change Chun's mind, so she could only lower her head and leave.
After spring faded, the door was closed.
Qin Jin'an then began to examine Xiao Caidie closely.
Her life was not smooth.
“Sister, your fate was not good. I saw you die pitifully. You regretted it, but it was too late.”
“You and your husband have known each other since childhood. You left Beijing for Liuzhou with your parents and kept in touch, expressing your feelings for each other. But after marriage, you became like strangers and gradually harbored resentment. You are much fatter than you are now. You can't get out of bed or walk... You will die in hatred and pain.”
Qin Jin'an looked at Xiao Caidie and slowly recounted the trajectory of Xiao Caidie's destiny that she had witnessed.
Xiao Caidie looked at Qin Jin'an and asked unwillingly, "What about him? Doesn't he feel any regret?"
She tormented him with pain, didn't he suffer too? Didn't he regret treating her that way?
He's the one who's changed, so why is she the one bearing the bitter consequences?
"I'm sorry, I never met him, so I don't know his fate, but I know you regret it. You regret hurting yourself for him, but it was too late then."
Qin Jin'an wasn't powerful enough to see through one person's fate to another.
"I don't understand why he changed? I don't understand!"
Xiao Caidie looked pained; even knowing her future fate, she couldn't detach herself from it.
"He wrote to me saying I was too thin and that I should gain weight to look better, but when I gained weight, he said I was too fat. I'm angry and in pain. I can't help but care about him. What is the truth?"
Xiao Caidie was tormented. How could the love that was so evident in those letters be fake?
She didn't know how to face the future version of herself that he had hoped for; everything was ruined.
"Sister, how many years has it been since you last saw each other?"
Qin Jin'an looked at Xiao Caidie, who was immersed in sadness, and asked.
Human nature is complex, and the relationships between people are also complex. She only saw endless suspicion and quarrels between Xiao Caidie and her husband in her fate, but never a moment of peace.
Qin Jin'an thought of her maternal grandfather and uncle, and she had an idea.
"Three years."
Xiao Caidie answered, her voice choked with emotion.
She is fifteen years old this year. The last time she met Jiang Xun was three years ago, when his eyes were still full of affection.
"Sister, why don't you go and ask him yourself? Why are you so depressed all by yourself?"
Qin Jin'an looked at Xiao Caidie, thinking that if it were her, she would definitely ask her to find out the truth.
"The dark energy entangled in the marriage line between you indicates that someone is plotting against you, and that someone does not want your marriage to be happy."
Qin Jin'an looked at Xiao Caidie's face and felt suspicious.
But she only consulted the fortune teller for Xiao Caidie's sake; nothing else was to be concerned with.
She could only try her best to remind her; as for how much Xiao Caidie could understand, that was up to fate.
"Who, who wants to harm me?"
Xiao Caidie looked at Qin Jin'an and asked.
Qin Jin'an shook his head: "I can't see clearly."
Xiao Caidie was somewhat disappointed. In her opinion, Qin Jin'an's words were useless. What would be the point of asking him in person? It would only be humiliating.
Her marriage was not going well, so there must have been obstacles. Since she couldn't resolve them, then it was useless.
Xiao Caidie didn't take it to heart, but Madam Chu kept it in mind.
She said to Qin Jin'an, "Thank you, little immortal. I'll give it to you."
Qin Jin'an glanced at the dejected Xiao Caidie, and seeing that her parents' palaces were bright and clean, she smiled and nodded to Madam Chu: "Sister has a good mother."
Her mother would ward off evil spirits for her.
