Chapter 291: Divination Money
"You...you..." The aunt's voice trembled slightly. She tried to calm herself down. "Don't try to scare me here. I'm not afraid of you. I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door."
Although she said this, the aunt's body couldn't help but tremble, and her eyes couldn't help but look at her shoulder.
"No need to look, your daughter is still there." Zhong Nianyao said calmly, then glanced at the old lady's face. "Over the years, your shoulders have often felt sore, and sometimes even after a long rest, your back and waist would ache. Especially on rainy days and at night, you often feel as if something is pressing on you."
"You're not the only one who has these symptoms; your husband probably has them too. However, his symptoms are milder than yours. Because he's a man, his yang energy is more abundant, so he's less affected."
"That's your daughter's ghost. She's been watching you. But she should be leaving soon."
When she heard what Zhong Nianyao said, her face turned pale, because every word she said was accurate. She felt horrified when she thought that the dead child had been living beside them all this time.
However, when she heard Zhong Nianyao's last words, her fear suddenly relaxed. Although she didn't know why, the child's ghost was willing to leave, which was a great thing for her.
Looking at the smug look on the old lady's face, Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "Don't be too happy too soon. She has been staying with you just for revenge. She is willing to leave because her revenge is over. You and your wife's fate is almost over, so she is willing to leave."
As soon as these words were spoken, the face that had just regained a little color turned pale again.
The aunt wanted to open her mouth to refute, but when she saw Zhong Nianyao's calm eyes, all the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them.
In a panic, she turned around and left quickly.
"You and your husband can't escape." Zhong Nianyao's indifferent voice continued, "She has been with you all these years, and she has already exhausted all your life and luck. For the next two weeks, you and your husband will continue to be unlucky, until you die in two weeks."
The clear voice reached her ears, and the aunt's pace became faster, not daring to stop for even a moment.
The people around them looked at the old lady's panicked escape, and what could they not understand? However, this matter had nothing to do with them, so they didn't care. Besides, the master had said that there was no evidence at the moment. Even if they wanted to help call the police, they couldn't do anything.
However, the master also said that the retribution for the couple is about to come.
Zhong Nianyao turned her head and smiled brightly at Lu Yichen, then said helplessly, "Alas, this order was done in vain, and I didn't even get paid."
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Lu Yichen couldn't help but laugh, and then he suggested, "Otherwise, I'll go up and chase her back now and make her pay for the divination."
"Forget it." Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "Forget the money for fortune-telling for someone who is dying."
Lu Yichen nodded, but didn't offer any further advice. "So what now? Do you still want to continue fortune-telling?"
"Of course!" Zhong Nianyao nodded. "It's still quite early. Besides, my rule is to calculate three hexagrams every day. This is only the first one."
Seeing that Zhong Nianyao's stall was empty, many people were eager to go up and have their fortune told. However, when they thought of the old lady just now, they hesitated.
Everyone has their own secrets that they don't want others to know. Therefore, if there is nothing that needs to be told, they really don't want to go for fortune-telling, lest everything about them be seen clearly.
No one came up to tell fortunes, and Zhong Nian Yao was not in a hurry. She held her head up and chatted with Lu Yichen.
Although they were talking about irrelevant things, the atmosphere between them seemed particularly harmonious. To be more precise, it was Zhong Nianyao who was talking most of the time, while Lu Yichen looked at her with doting eyes, occasionally responding with a few words.
Time flew by and it was already noon. Zhong Nianyao checked her phone and said, "Looks like no one wants to come for fortune-telling today. Let's go have lunch!"
Lu Yichen nodded.
At this moment, an old man, supported by others, came to Zhong Nian Yao's stall and sat down.
The old man looked sick, but he was dressed elegantly, looking like he wasn't from an ordinary family. The person who had just supported him stood respectfully behind him, probably the family's housekeeper.
Glancing at the old man sitting opposite her, Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "I'm sorry, old man, I have to close my stall today."
"Isn't the stall closed yet?" Before the old man could say anything, the man standing behind him spoke up, "Our master heard about your abilities and came here specifically to tell fortunes."
Although his appearance was very ordinary, the arrogance in his eyes could not be hidden. It was obvious that he did not trust Zhong Nianyao very much, and only came here because his master trusted him.
Lu Yichen's sharp eyes fell on the man, "Get out!"
This simple word gave the man a chill that made him almost collapse and flee.
"I'm very sorry." The old man apologized. "Butler Wang didn't mean it. I apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you won't take it personally. I came here today because I admire your reputation. I have something to ask of you. I hope you can help me."
"Oh, really?" Zhong Nianyao glanced at the old man's face, then said with a smile, "I can't help you with your problem. I have to close the stall now, please go back!"
"Why are you like this?" Butler Wang, who was originally a little frightened, said with some dissatisfaction after hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, "I was rude just now, that's my fault, what does it have to do with my master? Now my master hasn't even opened his mouth to say what the matter is, and you're just refusing. Can't you help, or don't you want to help?"
"Butler Wang, shut up." The old man scolded in a low voice, "This master is definitely not that kind of person. As long as we sincerely ask for help, she will definitely not stand idly by."
