Song Ruier made up his mind. He asked a student for his birth date and time, and then stuck it on the scarecrow's forehead.
A few days later, the student indeed began to drift off into a daze, his mind wandering in class, his gaze unfocused, as if a part of his soul had been lost.
Song Ruier used the excuse that she had a miraculous medicine that could help the student to get 30,000 taels of silver from the student's family. After the student's birth date and time were revealed, the student's condition indeed improved.
This is a good way to make money, but it cannot be abused. Song Ruier was not very happy about it. Most importantly, Qiao Lian'er was completely unaffected.
He failed to achieve his goal at all.
He began to realize that the monk probably wasn't lying to him. It was very likely that Qiao Lian'er had given him a fake birth date and time, or perhaps her fate was just too strong. He needed to observe her for a while longer.
Another half month passed, and the Spring Festival was almost here. The capital was bustling with activity. Qiao Lian'er spent more time with her family and was often seen shopping. She looked perfectly normal.
She seemed to have no worries. Although she didn't laugh much, it was clear that she lived a very comfortable and carefree life.
Song Ruier is basically certain that the birth date and time given by Qiao Lian'er are fake, otherwise she wouldn't have been completely unaffected.
He no longer dared to appear openly in front of Qiao Lian'er; instead, he stood at the street corner, staring at her with a gloomy expression.
From the moment the Taoist priest arrived, Qiao Lian'er took precautions and nipped the problem in the bud.
"Rui'er, are you still watching my movements? Didn't you say I would become a living dead in a month? It's been almost two months, and I'm still perfectly fine."
A voice came from behind her, startling Song Ruier.
Looking back, Qiao Lian'er was standing there, looking amused.
"You—" Song Ruier gritted her teeth, but couldn't utter a single word; a metallic taste seemed to rise in her throat.
He caused a death and now has nightmares every night. He earned 200,000 taels of silver, but who would have thought that he would end up with nothing?
Qiao Lian'er is a cautious person in everything he does, but in the end, he was too confident at the beginning.
"To be honest, I still don't know what tricks you used this time. Would you mind telling me?"
Qiao Lian'er also secretly followed Song Rui'er, but she wasn't watching her all the time and didn't notice anything.
Song Ruier was so angry that her whole body was trembling.
She pursed her lips and walked quickly forward without saying a word.
"Was it that time when a Taoist priest asked me for my birth date and time?" Qiao Lian'er asked again.
Song Ruier paused, didn't answer, and hurriedly disappeared.
Seeing his reaction, Qiao Lian'er was basically certain.
That time, she was shopping with her sisters when a Taoist priest suddenly appeared, saying he wanted to tell their fortunes.
She habitually kept her guard up and didn't let the Taoist priest calculate her family's birth charts, instead providing a fake one herself.
She herself came from another world, and with such a vast space, she established an early understanding that some things cannot be explained by common sense and science. Her birth date and time were things that should never be known to outsiders, as they concerned a person's fortune and destiny.
At the entrance of the Qiao family's residence, a carriage stopped, and a handsome young man in a white cloak stepped out, holding a scroll in his hand.
