The next morning, when Xiao Shuangbao got up, Ye Yuaner was already waiting for him obediently.
After yesterday's beating, Ye Yuan'er now knows what's going on in her mind. She no longer dares to think about things that don't belong to her and just acts as a good maid.
She helped Xiao Shuangbao wash, dress, and eat...
Watching Little Shuangbao eat bowl after bowl, Ye Yuaner was shocked by her appetite for a moment, then deeply impressed. She realized from the bottom of her heart that this little princess was really not to be trifled with! After all, she could eat so much, so it was only natural that she was a bit capable!
"We are going to the restaurant for fortune-telling today. You should come with us." After dinner, Xiao Shuangbao looked at Ye Yuaner and said.
"Yes, I obey your command." Ye Yuan'er's attitude became obviously more respectful.
The two of them and Chen Cao took a carriage to the restaurant.
Ye Yuan'er saw that many people had already come. When they saw Xiao Shuangbao coming, they all called her "little saint and little fairy"... She was shocked again.
Xiao Shuangbao took her upstairs and into the private room.
"Little princess, what are those people down there doing?" Ye Yuan'er asked curiously.
"Waiting for the draw." Little Shuangbao saw that she didn't understand, so he explained, "I draw lots every day and pick three people who are destined to be with me. I will tell fortunes for these three people, solve their problems, and fulfill their wishes."
"Then little princess, can I go and have a fight?" Ye Yuan'er's eyes immediately lit up.
"Sure, if you want to smoke, go ahead and try it!" Xiao Shuangbao said generously.
"Thank you, little princess! I'll go down right away then." Ye Yuan'er's face lit up with joy, and she asked respectfully again.
Seeing Xiao Shuangbao nodded, she immediately left the private room happily to draw lots.
Not long after, she came up with a sad face and brought someone with her.
"Little princess, I didn't win, but this aunt did." Ye Yuan'er said a little listlessly.
"There are three chances every day, and you'll always win." Little Shuangbao said, and then paused, "But winning isn't necessarily a good thing. If you don't win, at least it proves that you and your family are safe."
Ye Yuaner felt a little comforted after hearing this.
She glanced at the middle-aged woman who followed her up, and quietly and obediently stepped aside.
"Little Saint, I would like to ask you to help me calculate whether my illness can be cured." The middle-aged woman said, paused, remembered Xiao Shuangbao's rules, and immediately put down a gold ingot as the fee for fortune-telling.
"sick?"
Xiao Shuangbao looked at the middle-aged woman in surprise.
She was wearing luxurious clothes, with jewels and gold ornaments on her head. She was slightly plump, with a rosy and shiny face. She was clearly wealthy and healthy. How could she look sick?
"Auntie, you are not sick. You are in good health." Xiao Shuangbao said with certainty.
"No, I must be sick."
However, the middle-aged woman was even more certain than Xiao Shuangbao. "The doctor at Huichun Hall said that my illness is internal. No other doctor can diagnose it except the doctor at Huichun Hall. I need to take medicine to recuperate. But I've been taking medicine for half a year and have spent over 100,000 taels of silver, but the illness won't get better!"
"Huichuntang?" Xiao Shuangbao was a little confused.
She didn't understand why a doctor in a clinic insisted on saying that a healthy person was sick.
Ye Yuan'er immediately came over and explained in a low voice, "Little Princess, Huichuntang is the Zhao family's medical clinic!"
"The Zhao family..." Xiao Shuangbao seemed to be lost in thought, and then said to the middle-aged woman, "Aunt, don't worry. Tell me your name and date of birth, and I'll calculate it for you first."
"Oh, okay." The middle-aged woman quickly told Xiao Shuangbao all the information.
Xiao Shuangbao then learned that her surname was Xu, she was thirty-five years old, her family was in the horse business, and they had cooperation with several major families in Jincheng, so they were very rich.
She had a harmonious family, her children were filial and sensible, and although her husband had several concubines, they all lived in peace and contentment, and she lived a happy life.
Until half a year ago, when she passed by Huichuntang, the doctor inside suddenly pulled her aside and said that she was seriously ill.
At first, Mrs. Xu didn't believe it. She thought the doctor in the clinic was scolding her for being sick, which was really unlucky, so she didn't take it seriously.
But after she returned home, she suddenly felt heartburn and couldn't sleep all night.
Early the next morning, she went straight to Huichun Hall.
Since then, I started to take medicine from Huichuntang every day.
"Although the medicine is expensive, it really worked after I took it. I no longer felt the fever and could sleep well at night. But it's been so long and I spent so much money but it's still not healed. I was a little panicked, worried that it was really an incurable disease. I happened to hear that the little saint was setting up a stall here to tell fortunes, so I came here with the attitude of giving it a try. I didn't expect that I actually won the prize." Xu told Xiao Shuangbao everything in one go.
This also saved Xiao Shuangbao a lot of trouble.
"I understand. Don't worry, Aunt Xu. I can confirm that you are in good health. However, the Huichun Hall must have some motive for keeping such a close eye on you. Let me calculate it for you."
As Xiao Shuangbao spoke, he began to count on his fingers.
Ye Yuan'er stared at her slender white fingers, stunned.
Soon, a helpless look appeared on Xiao Shuangbao's face.
"Aunt Xu, you've been cheated. The doctor from Huichuntang stopped you at first and secretly gave you medicine that made you feel heartburn and unable to sleep. Later, they said the medicines they gave you were some precious herbs, but in fact, they were just ordinary tranquilizers. Their purpose was very simple, which was to take you as a sucker and cheat you out of your money. However, there were several other aunts who were cheated out of their money like you. Aunt Xu should know them all, right?" Xiao Shuangbao said.
