"Grand Preceptor!" A young girl dressed as a maid waved vigorously and called out to Fang Ruotang in a hoarse voice.
Fang Ruotang looked in the direction of the sound and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
She wasn't the first commoner to block the Imperial Preceptor in the street, and she was someone who knew the rules, so she didn't rush forward but knelt at a distance.
Then a woman in green knelt beside her. Judging from her attire, she was the maid's mistress. The two of them kowtowed several times before kneeling and replying.
"Your Excellency, I apologize for disturbing you. I am about to be married, but I am very uneasy. That is why I have come to interrupt your leisurely enjoyment. I hope Your Excellency will forgive me."
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Go ahead and tell me what's wrong."
Fang Ruotang loved reading storybooks, so she enjoyed joining in on such lively gatherings. Among the common people, there were also clever people, or those who couldn't make a living, all of whom came to Fang Ruotang for help.
She resolved what she could on the spot, and for what she couldn't, she called her brother, the Crown Prince, and handed the person over to him.
Anyway, the small mirror is like a demon-revealing mirror; all sorts of monsters and demons will be revealed in front of it.
Fang Ruotang treated these people's grudges and entanglements as amusement. Her sister repeatedly reminded her to cover it up, and she also realized that it was not good to take other people's sad stories as amusement. So whenever someone came to her for help, she would say a word or two to offer some advice.
Her easygoing nature actually improved her reputation among the people. In any case, according to Xiao Jingzi's feedback, the amount of faith power she received was increasing day by day.
"I am about to get married, but my fiancé has lost two wives. So I would like to ask if my fiancé is really a jinx to his wives, and whether my fate can withstand it?"
Fang Ruotang blinked, and upon hearing the comment about being a "wife-killer," she instinctively felt displeased.
That's how Mrs. Xie manipulated her third sister after she got married.
"What do you mean by 'cursing one's wife'? Her fiancé is a drug addict. She'll die soon after she marries him, but it's not because he's cursed; he'll just be infected with a virus." Little Mirror blurted out before Fang Ruotang could even ask.
What kind of poison stick?
[It's a sexually transmitted disease! That man had a penchant for sneaking into widows' rooms; he wasn't a respectable person. He contracted a disease himself and then passed it on to his wife.]
Fang Ruotang covered her mouth in surprise.
Why doesn't he die himself, instead of harming his wife?
[Because it's so unfair. This kind of venereal disease he contracted doesn't show up in men, but it can kill women. So you warned her not to marry him, otherwise, it would be terrible to die with a venereal disease.]
Fang Ruotang looked at the woman, who was already swaying precariously before she could even speak, with pity.
The woman came from a humble family; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to marry a widower who had killed two wives when she was in the prime of her life.
She couldn't hear Fang Ruotang's inner thoughts, but Fang Ruotang was too easy to understand; her emotions were written all over her face, and she could see some clues at a glance.
“Your fiancé is not a good man. He is not a jinx, but he has a sexually transmitted disease. He will not die, but the woman who is infected will die. You would better not marry him.”
The woman stopped people in the street, surrounded by ordinary people. Only after Fang Ruotang explained the situation did they learn what had happened.
It's unclear whether it was the woman who blocked the road who was famous, or the man she was going to marry who was famous, or perhaps their marriage was just attracting attention, but there were several other people around who knew about it.
"Look at that family of three in the teahouse on the left. Are they happy?" The little mirror reminded Fang Ruotang, gesturing for her to look.
Some officials' wives on the street could hear her thoughts and looked over, but most ordinary people were still discussing the drug addict.
The woman was about to die, and her husband and son, seeking revenge for her, would soon follow in her footsteps, the three of them dying a neat and orderly death.
【Huh? What happened?】
[That beautiful woman was too flamboyant; someone took a liking to her, kidnapped her, raped and murdered her. Her husband and son tried to save her but failed, and tried to avenge her but failed. The three of them were buried in a mass grave, neatly arranged.]
[This is terrible! No, I must warn them who abducted the beautiful woman. I'll have my brother, the Crown Prince, capture him.]
[The Minister of Personnel's cousin.]
The little mirror revealed its identity and then gave its name.
Fang Ruotang frowned and relayed the message to her elder brother, the Crown Prince, clenching her little fist and waving it forcefully, saying, "This kind of villain, Crown Prince, you must chop off his head!"
"Fine!" The Crown Prince remained calm. Officials bullying the people was a common occurrence and did not provoke his anger. He was only dissatisfied that such an ugly thing had been brought to the forefront for Fang Ruotang.
"Did you see that family of three? Go and tell them..." Fang Ruotang called Tao Hong over and explained to her in detail.
Although they resolved the matter for them in advance, they still reminded them to be on guard.
After all, even she knew that beauty alone was a dead end.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many beautiful women with tragic fates.
If you don't have the corresponding strength, you should keep a low profile when necessary. Rare flowers not only need careful care, but also have high requirements for soil.
Did that old lady see that? When she was young, her husband was a womanizer, and later, unable to have a son, she seduced her brother-in-law to have one.
She did a great job.
When Fang Ruotang saw the old lady in the small mirror, she looked kind and gentle, but she didn't realize that she had such a decisive personality.
Look, look, there's a girl over there, quite a character. She comes from a farming family, and while she vows never to be a concubine, she accepts gifts from a wealthy young master and opens a restaurant.
Fang Ruotang tilted her head and looked at the woman. She was dressed simply but was beautiful, but she had a pair of ambitious eyes and looked restless.
