Chapter 104: Tianming Pavilion Incident - Are the Eight Characters Compatible?
Yun Qingqing paused for only a moment and then walked over with a normal expression.
"Why did you come out?" She walked straight past Xiao Changheng without stopping, and her tone was no different from usual.
"Wait." Xiao Changheng reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Yun Qingqing stopped and turned around, and before she could ask any questions, he pulled her in front of him with a gentle touch.
The man was tall, and the chassis of the special wheelchair was not low either. He straightened his body and raised his arm, and the cloak in his hand was draped over Yun Qingqing.
"The nights are cold in late autumn, be careful not to catch a cold."
Xiao Changheng spoke in a light tone, tied the laces in an orderly manner, then stepped back, looked up at her with a slightly curved brow.
Yun Qingqing was silent for a moment, then turned and walked towards the mansion. The man followed her at a moderate pace.
She waited for a long time, until she returned to the gate of her yard, but the other party didn't speak again.
Yun Qingqing stopped and looked at him:
"Don't you have something to ask me?"
Xiao Changheng raised his sword-like eyebrows, and his deep eyes curved slightly:
"What do you want to ask?"
Yun Qingqing almost rolled her eyes and said speechlessly:
"Those secret guards of yours follow me around all day. Haven't they ever reported to you?"
Xiao Changheng curled his lips slightly:
"Their mission is to protect you. As long as you are safe, this king has no problem."
Yun Qingqing: ...
Okay.
She turned around and left, walked into the yard under his gaze, then into the room and slammed the door shut.
Upset.
It's obviously just a transaction.
But the causal line involving this man and herself is becoming clearer and clearer, and there is a faint red color. This is not a good sign.
Unfortunately, her cultivation progress was slow. To completely cure his leg, she also had to find out the mastermind behind the incident to prevent future troubles. It would take some time.
Yun Qingqing sat at the table with a frown on her face for a while, until two floating little figures suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Sister Qingqing, what's wrong with you?" Ye Xingyu tilted her head and looked at her.
"Sister Qingqing, why are you in a daze? Is something on your mind?" This was the Sixth Prince Xiao Yiyan.
Yun Qingqing came back to her senses, collected her thoughts, and stroked her two little heads.
"It's okay. The moonlight is beautiful tonight. Don't play around too much. Take good care of your soul."
The two little ones nodded obediently, and ran to the yard hand in hand to absorb the spiritual energy in the moonlight.
Yun Qingqing stood up and realized that she was still wearing a prince's cloak.
She sighed softly, took off her cloak, called Qiao'er, and asked her to return it sometime tomorrow. She decided not to pay attention to these troubles anymore.
She also walked to the center of the yard, sat cross-legged on a huge rock reserved for her, and began to meditate and practice in the moonlight.
…
It’s the third day of Tianming Pavilion’s business.
Shortly after the store opened that day, three groups of customers arrived one after another.
Mu Hongling received several people and asked them to go to the reception room in order to ask Yun Qingqing for advice.
The first one was an old woman with gray hair. She handed two horoscopes to Yun Qingqing.
"These are the horoscopes of my eldest grandson and his fiancée. When they were engaged, his mother had someone read them. They said that this girl and my grandson's horoscopes are a perfect match. They will definitely be happy together and their family will prosper."
Yun Qingqing looked at the old woman:
"It seems you don't believe this, otherwise you wouldn't be here with the horoscope again."
The old woman sighed:
"I didn't doubt the fortune teller's words at first, but recently I've been having dreams where my husband says his eldest grandson got scammed. I ask him what happened, but every time I wake up before he can explain."
"This matter has made me feel really uneasy, so I haven't told my family about it. I thought about asking someone to take a look. If there really is nothing wrong, there's no need to cause unrest at home, don't you think?"
Yun Qingqing nodded, picked up the eight characters, glanced at them, and said:
"If you ask me for divination, you will have to pay a price."
The old woman nodded immediately:
"I brought some silver. Master, how much do you want?"
Yun Qingqing said:
"What you're asking for doesn't require money, but something of deep significance that is connected to your grandson."
The old woman was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, then hesitantly took off a silver hairpin on her head.
"This... was a birthday gift my eldest grandson gave me when he turned ten. He saved up his New Year's money... This thing wouldn't be worth much to you, Master, right?"
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly:
"It means a lot to you, that's enough. So, mother-in-law, are you willing to use it as payment in exchange for me helping your grandson and his fiancée calculate their horoscopes?"
The old woman held the hairpin and thought for a while, then she made up her mind and handed it over:
"Then I'll trouble you, Master."
Yun Qingqing put the hairpin into the space, placed the two horoscopes on the table, pointed at one of them and said:
"This is your grandson's horoscope."
She said it with certainty, and it wasn't a question.
"Master, you are really good. You know this is my grandson's horoscope without even asking!" The old woman nodded repeatedly, and she felt more confident in the master in front of her.
Yun Qingqing pointed to another set of eight characters and said:
"Just looking at this horoscope, it is indeed a match made in heaven for your grandson. A perfect match. A man and a woman with these horoscopes, respectively, will have a happy and fulfilling future, a long life, many children and grandchildren, and a prosperous family, as long as they don't commit any serious sins."
The old woman heaved a sigh of relief and said happily:
"Then I'm relieved! It seems that the old man didn't really dream about me in my dream. I must have thought too much during the day and had such a dream."
Yun Qingqing shook her head:
"Your forehead is slightly dark. Although it's nothing serious, it does show signs of residual Yin energy. This means that a ghost has indeed entered your dreams recently, and not just once."
"Ah?" The old woman was surprised, then frowned. "Could it be that the old man really appeared in my dream... There's nothing wrong with this marriage. Could it be that someone else is trying to harm my eldest grandson?"
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She hurriedly said to Yun Qingqing:
"Master, you must help my grandson. He has always been kind and honest. We can't let him get hurt!"
"Mother-in-law, please listen to me first." Yun Qingqing said, "Your husband appeared in a dream and told me that your grandson's marriage was deliberately set up by someone. The bride has bad luck in her destiny, and your grandson's qualifications can't suppress it. If he really marries her, he will be in great trouble, or even die young."
"What!... What on earth do you mean by this?" The old lady became even more anxious. "Just now you were saying that these two horoscopes were a match made in heaven, how come you've changed your words so suddenly! Can you please explain it more clearly?"
Yun Qingqing said seriously:
"I mean, the two horoscopes on the table are compatible, but the one your grandson is actually engaged to marry is unlucky for him."
The old woman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood:
"Master, you mean..."
"That's right!" Yun Qingqing nodded. "The one you brought here isn't the real horoscope of your grandson's fiancée at all. Someone has deceived your family!"
"How ridiculous!" The old woman slammed the table and stood up. "That damned matchmaker Sun dared to cheat my grandson! I must go and settle the score with her!"
As she said this, she took the two horoscopes and hurried away.
"Wait a minute!" Yun Qingqing quickly stopped her, "Don't you want to know who is really trying to harm your grandson?"
