Now that their wedding date has been set, their neighbors all know about it. When they see the two of them going in and out together, they sometimes tease them a bit.
Jiang Yi and Hua Xiangyun showed no fear in the face of these challenges, and even managed to respond with a few words and a smile. Gradually, everyone got used to it and felt that everything was as it should be.
Before they knew it, it was time to set up the stall again. Jiang Yi, having nothing else to do, followed behind her, but instead of staying at the stall, he wandered around the black market.
Hua Xiangyun noticed that today was the same as before. There were three people queuing up, while the others were watching from the sidelines. These people had really learned their lesson; they knew the rules wouldn't be changed arbitrarily, and they didn't dare to offend her easily.
The first customer, Cheng Yue, had already expressed her concerns: "Master, I don't understand. I've given everything to this family, but it seems I'm still not well-liked. My in-laws are always finding fault with me, and my husband is also indifferent to me."
What I find most unacceptable is that my own son is not close to me. Whenever I do something wrong, he sides with his grandparents and criticizes me.
I'm so confused. Can I continue living like this?
Hua Xiangyun sensed the lifelessness in her tone and looked up at her face, which was wrapped up tightly. "Would you mind taking off your scarf so I can take a look?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Cheng Yue immediately pulled off the veil covering her face.
“Yes, you can,” Hua Xiangyun said after only a few glances, placing the Great Five Emperor Coins in front of her. “Clear your mind of all distractions and silently recite your heart’s desire.”
Cheng Yue tossed out the Great Five Emperor Coins and then quietly squatted there watching.
Hua Xiangyun sighed, "If you trust me, please wait here for a moment, and I will explain it to you in detail later."
Cheng Yue silently stepped back, staring at the ground, seemingly lost in thought.
Hua Xiangyun calculated quickly and finished calculating today's quota.
She stood up, packed her things, and said to Cheng Yue beside her, "Come with me first."
Cheng Yue didn't even ask any more questions and silently followed behind.
The onlookers were puzzled. The master had never left with anyone before, so what was going on today?
However, no one dared to follow, for fear of offending the master.
Hua Xiangyun had just led her people to two corners when Jiang Yi, walking alongside her, glanced at Cheng Yue behind them and asked, "Is there trouble here?"
Hua Xiangyun led the person to a dead-end alley, set up an array at the alley entrance, and then looked at Cheng Yue, who had a blank expression.
Do you have some suspicions in your mind?
Cheng Yue then looked up at Hua Xiangyun, "So the master realized that the child wasn't mine at all, right?"
Over the years, she has endured a great deal of hardship in her husband's family, all because of this son.
However, as the Liu family members have become increasingly unreasonable over the years, coupled with some of their behaviors in daily life, she has begun to have doubts.
She knew that if she hadn't stubbornly refused to give in and transfer the job, she might still be just a free nanny for the Liu family.
“You keep talking about having a son, but you are destined to have only one daughter. There must be a hidden reason behind this.” Hua Xiangyun couldn’t bear to let an innocent woman be deceived any longer, so she brought her over to explain a few more words.
"A daughter?" Cheng Yue, who had been calm and collected, suddenly became excited. "Master, are you saying that I gave birth to a daughter, not a son?"
No wonder, no wonder she never felt any affection for the child when she held him, and even felt a slight aversion to him.
Because of this strange feeling, she always felt guilty towards her child, that she hadn't been a good mother, and that she had to be tolerant in every way.
Hua Xiangyun said, "I calculated this from your face and the divination, and you are about to face a major calamity, a matter of life and death."
Cheng Yue didn't understand, "I haven't done anything wrong, and I haven't offended anyone..."
"Senior brother, did you figure it out?" Now that they had both concealed their true identities, they naturally addressed each other as senior brother and sister. Seeing that Jiang Yi was silent to the side, Hua Xiangyun tugged at his sleeve and asked.
Jiang Yi, “My adopted son has committed a heinous crime and I wish to force him to abdicate.”
For these sorcerers, this situation was already a natural act of nurturing, and even if the other party was just a child, they would still have a karmic connection with Cheng Yue.
Moreover, her face looked deathly pale, and her fertility palace was dark, indicating that misfortune would befall her offspring.
Cheng Yue wasn't stupid. She realized that the wolf cub she was raising looked exactly like its father, and since it wasn't her biological child, the identity of the father would be revealed.
"What about my daughter?" Cheng Yue suddenly became agitated and tried to grab Hua Xiangyun, but Hua Xiangyun dodged her.
"Master, I'm giving you all my money. Please help me calculate whether my daughter is still safe and sound."
My poor child, I haven't even seen her once, where is she now?
Cheng Yue no longer cares about hating anyone; she only wants to find her daughter as soon as possible.
Hua Xiangyun shook her head, and just as Cheng Yue was about to despair, she said again, "We can't figure out where she is right now, but you can ask your in-laws."
Cheng Yue's face turned ashen. "That family is ruthless and extremely sexist. How could they keep my poor daughter alive?"
Jiang Yi said, "You don't look like you've lost your daughter, but you need to be quick, as she is also going through a life-or-death ordeal."
Hua Xiangyun nodded in agreement. It was precisely because she understood this that she was willing to lend a hand.
Cheng Yue gritted her teeth, "I'm going to fight the Liu family to the death right now. If they don't return my daughter to me today, I'll take them all down with me."
Seeing her aggressive demeanor, Hua Xiangyun turned and left, saying, "You come here empty-handed like this? Do you think you can fight all of them by yourself?"
Cheng Yue: "No, I won't confront them directly. I'll sue them. I'll report them for favoring sons over daughters and stealing my child."
Having already gone all out, Cheng Yue, not wanting to continue being a slave to the Liu family, was naturally determined to fight to the death.
So, whether the Liu family lives well or not in the future, how much does it have to do with her?
All she wants now is to find her daughter as soon as possible and cut ties with that family.
Hua Xiangyun admires this decisiveness, but will her in-laws accept it?
"After all, this is not something without evidence. If the other party turns around and accuses you, your situation will be even more difficult."
Cheng Yue said, "Even if it means dying together with them, I will not let them go."
“Foolish,” Jiang Yi said at this moment, “Shouldn’t we be finding your daughter first? If you’re going to die with them, haven’t you thought about what she might face in the future?”
“But the Liu family won’t tell me so easily,” Cheng Yue clutched her chest. Just thinking about how her daughter didn’t grow up by her side, and how she was wholeheartedly protecting a bastard, made her feel choked up and almost suffocated.
Looking at the two experts before her, Cheng Yue knelt down on both knees. "Masters, since you can tell that my current child is not your biological child, you should also be able to figure out where my real daughter is. I am willing to pay any price."
Hua Xiangyun: "Didn't I tell you before that it's impossible to calculate in such detail? But you've lived in the Liu family for so long, haven't you noticed anything unusual?"
