Chapter 289 Carrying a Blood Debt
After a long while, the aunt came back to her senses. Although she was still terrified, she still spoke to Zhong Nianyao and said, "Little girl, everyone here says you are a fairy, so I came to you for fortune-telling. I didn't expect that you are actually a charlatan, and now you are here to slander my son and instigate my daughter-in-law to divorce."
"I'm telling you, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'm going to make sure you can't stay here any longer."
Compared to the aunt's excitement, Zhong Nianyao seemed much calmer. She said calmly, "Has your son been to the hospital for a check-up?"
When these words came out, Auntie and Qiuyan were stunned.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The aunt came to her senses and said immediately, "Giving birth is a woman's business. What does it have to do with my son? There is nothing wrong with my son. The problem is her."
The aunt once again pointed the finger at Qiuyan.
Unlike before, Qiuyan didn't choose to keep silent this time. She immediately spoke up, "I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong with me. But my husband didn't get a checkup."
Many times, she tried to persuade her husband to go to the hospital with her for a check-up, but her husband ignored her and always said that there was nothing wrong with him, saying that his company had annual physical examinations.
Finally, after she mentioned it so many times, her husband became impatient and always mocked her for trying to shirk responsibility for not being able to have children. After that, she didn't dare to bring it up again.
"There is absolutely nothing wrong with my son," the aunt insisted.
Zhong Nianyao glanced at the old lady and then said, "Your son has a low and narrow forehead, a flat philtrum, a sunken uterus, thin ears, kidney deficiency and blood deficiency, and insufficient vital energy. He has no luck with having children. And—"
"You and your husband are burdened with a blood debt, which will also harm your descendants. You will have no descendants."
After hearing these words, Qiuyan looked at her mother-in-law in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief. She had a vague idea of what a blood debt was: it meant taking a life. The young master in front of her was saying that her parents-in-law had directly or indirectly killed someone.
"Nonsense," the old lady said, her face flushed red, but if you looked closely, you could see the guilt hidden beneath her sharpness. "You're nothing but a charlatan seeking fame and reputation. What you said is not true at all."
After saying that, she pulled her daughter-in-law up and prepared to leave.
That flustered look seemed like a guilty conscience to others.
"Wait a moment."
Unlike her usual obedience, Qiuyan immediately shook off her aunt's hand and said, "Mom, it was you who asked me to tell your fortune in the first place. Now that I'm here, I want to get everything straight."
"You are going to rebel, aren't you? I tell you, if you don't come with me now, then I will let my son go with you--"
"Divorce me, huh?" Qiuyan interrupted her mother-in-law. "Okay! Then let your son divorce me now! I don't want to continue living like this anyway."
In the past, she had always believed that not having children was her fault, which was why she had been so submissive. But now, according to the young master, the problem lay with her husband. All her past concessions seemed incredibly ironic at this moment.
Now she was really fed up with her mother-in-law threatening her with divorce again. If she continued like this, she would really get a divorce.
Moreover, she was really full of longing for the second path mentioned by the young master.
The aunt didn't expect that her daughter-in-law, who was so cowardly on weekdays, would dare to contradict her. Could it be that she listened to this girl and thought that it was her son's problem, so she became bolder now?
She directly pointed the finger at Zhong Nianyao, "How dare you, a charlatan, talk nonsense here? I'm going to go to the Public Security Bureau and report you for promoting feudal superstition here."
"Then go ahead!" Zhong Nian Yao spread her hands, her face full of indifference.
The people around could no longer control themselves and began to criticize the old lady.
"Auntie, let's be reasonable, okay? You were the one who asked this little deity to calculate for you, and now you're saying you want to sue them. Do you still have any shame?"
"Is it because the little deity was right that you are so angry now?"
"I've seen a lot of shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."
Whether it was the people setting up stalls nearby or those who came here because of her reputation, they all had a natural respect for Zhong Nianyao. Many of them had even witnessed Zhong Nianyao's abilities firsthand, so hearing this old lady getting angry and making a scene here, they all felt particularly disgusted.
The aunt was quite shameless. Even in the face of so many people's accusations, her expression remained unchanged. When she looked at Zhong Nianyao, her eyes were still vicious. "Hmph, in my opinion, what little deity! She's nothing more than a charlatan who relies on her pretty face to deceive people."
"Mom!" Qiuyan's face was very unfriendly. "You are so excited now, are you feeling guilty?"
"I didn't," the aunt retorted subconsciously, then looked at Zhong Nianyao, "Are you satisfied now? You have to destroy our family to be happy, right? You're young and good-looking, but how can you be so cruel?"
"No matter how cruel I am, I'm not as cruel as you and your wife!" Zhong Nianyao gave the old lady a cold look. "You killed your own daughter just to extort money from others. I'm really ashamed of myself for being so cruel."
As she spoke, Zhong Nianyao's eyes fell on the old lady's shoulder. "Do you feel at ease spending the money earned by your daughter's life? Your daughter is always watching over you!"
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's eyes, the old lady couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly felt that her shoulders seemed a little heavy, but she still said stubbornly, "I don't know what you are talking about. I do have a daughter, but she died in a car accident when she was very young."
"Don't even think about bringing up my deceased daughter. I'm honest and upright, and there's nothing to be afraid of. Also, don't try to change the subject. You're slandering my son, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet!"
"Whether it's slander or not, you can ask your son to go to the hospital for a checkup and you'll know." Zhong Nianyao said nonchalantly, "But even if he does, it's useless. It's incurable. This is the disaster you sowed, and your son must bear the corresponding consequences. Besides, your son should have used the money he earned from selling his life!"
