Chapter 591 Fortune Telling
Looking at the cup of steaming tea in front of him, Yi Huai was in no mood at all. He had a thousand words to say at this moment, but when they came to his lips, he couldn't open them.
Lu Yichen's expression remained indifferent. He said nothing and didn't even glance at Yi Huai, as if this person didn't exist at all. All his attention was on Zhong Nianyao, as if she was his only one.
Yi Huai didn't feel the slightest bit of displeasure at Lu Yichen's neglect; he was even somewhat relieved. He had clearly sensed the aura emanating from Lu Yichen before. If the other party really paid attention to him at this moment, he might be speechless.
However, even though Lu Yichen ignored him at this moment, he was still very scared. He was not sure about what he was about to say.
Zhong Nianyao was completely relaxed, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her. She did not ignore Yi Huai, and even smiled at him after he sat down.
However, when he saw Zhong Nianyao's smile, Yi Huai did not feel a trace of warmth in his heart. Instead, a chill rose from the soles of his feet.
Zhong Nianyao was clearly just a young girl in her early twenties, and even when facing him, she was gentle and polite. However, he always felt that Zhong Nianyao was not as simple as she seemed.
Moreover, he always felt that Zhong Nianyao seemed to know everything. When they met before, every word Zhong Nianyao said seemed to be spoken to him.
Just like that, the three of them sat there quietly, and no one spoke first.
Finally, Zhong Nianyao spoke first, "Uncle Yi, you came to see me today instead of grandpa, is there something wrong? You have been sitting here for so long, if there is something wrong, you should have said it!"
"Or did you come here today just to take good care of me, Baili Leyao's daughter?"
"I--" Yi Huai opened his mouth, but after saying just one word, he didn't know what to say next. However, thinking of the one at home, he finally gritted his teeth and continued, "You should know why I came here today!"
"Oh, why does Uncle Yi think so?" Zhong Nianyao shrugged her shoulders and said innocently, "To be honest, this is only the second time Uncle Yi and I have met. We don't even know each other well. How would I know what Uncle Yi's intentions were this time?"
Seeing that Zhong Nian Yao was pretending to be stupid, Yi Huai had no idea what to do. He took a deep breath and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhong Nian Yao.
"Uncle Yi," Zhong Nianyao suddenly spoke up, "I heard that the Yi family's greatest strength is the art of deduction, is that right?"
The art of deduction, to put it simply, is fortune-telling.
Yi Huai hadn't expected Zhong Nianyao to ask this question so suddenly. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously. Then he thought his actions were a little funny.
Almost everyone in the hidden family knew that the Yi family excelled in the art of deduction. So, what was the reason behind Zhong Nianyao asking this unnecessary question?
"Speaking of which, Uncle Yi and I should be considered relatives!" Zhong Nianyao continued with a smile, "I also have some accomplishments in fortune-telling."
"Can you tell fortunes?" Yi Huai exclaimed.
It’s no wonder he was so surprised, because he never thought that Zhong Nian Yao could tell fortunes.
He didn't think that the art of deduction was exclusive to the Yi family. He was surprised because Zhong Nianyao had grown up in the Zhong family. Although the Zhong family was a wealthy family in the imperial capital, in the eyes of their secluded family, they were not a family that could be put on the stage.
In fact, those aristocratic families were nothing special in their eyes. Because they were secluded families, the things they practiced were not accessible to ordinary people. Therefore, they always had a sense of superiority.
Therefore, he never thought that Zhong Nian Yao would also know these things.
However, he was still extremely wary of Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao who suddenly appeared, especially since he knew that they knew everything he had done.
Although he heard Zhong Nian Yao say that she could tell fortunes, he never thought that the reason why Zhong Nian Yao knew all this was because of her fortune telling.
He was very clear about the rule of not counting oneself but counting others.
"Yes!" Zhong Nianyao nodded with a smile, "Uncle Yi, do you need me to tell you a fortune?"
Hearing this, Yi Huai's expression was a little stunned, but then he nodded, "Then tell me a fortune!"
He knew in his heart that Zhong Nianyao most likely knew everything, but he still didn't know how to speak. Moreover, he felt that if Zhong Nianyao knew all this, she would hate him to the core, so how could she be willing to help him? However, now he had no other choice but to come to Zhong Nianyao.
However, he still didn't know how to start, so he might as well go along with Zhong Nianyao's words. Moreover, he could also observe what Zhong Nianyao wanted to do.
Zhong Nianyao looked at Yi Huai's face carefully, then narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of darkness flashing in her eyes, "Uncle Yi, your marriage palace is dim, and even has a faint feeling of darkening. It seems that you may suffer the pain of losing your wife soon!"
She didn't notice it before, but now she finally knows who Yi Huai went to such great lengths to save.
After hearing Zhong Nian Yao's words, Yi Huai's face changed drastically. He stood up suddenly, and even the stool he was sitting on fell to the ground.
Yi Huai seemed to be unaware of it. He looked at Zhong Nianyao steadily, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes, but he finally tried to restrain himself, "Nianyao, stop joking here."
"Are you kidding, Uncle Yi? Don't you know?" Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "Isn't the reason you're here for this matter?"
Suddenly, Yi Huai's face became even worse.
Although he had known for a long time that Zhong Nian Yao should have known everything, he was still caught off guard by the sudden revelation.
"Why is Uncle Yi so anxious?"
Unlike Yi Huai's ugly expression, Zhong Nianyao seemed much calmer. When she said these words, her expression didn't even change at all, making it impossible to tell what she was really thinking at the moment.
