Chapter 190, Gold Coins and Clients
Kong Xiyan looked around at the strange shop in front of her, hesitating whether to go in.
She took out her cell phone and compared the store name in the message, then looked at the words on the sign in front of her.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
The store's facade doesn't look big, and it's dark and gloomy. It's completely covered with thick purple curtains. There's only a crystal ball in the window. The sign at the door says "Astronautical," which translates into Chinese as "Witch Unsure."
After comparing several times, Kong Xiyan finally pushed open the glass door.
The wind chimes hanging on the door were jingling. As soon as you entered the room, there was a huge skeleton placed there. There were also strange paintings on both sides of the wall, such as religious totems and burning witches.
"Is this a fortune-telling shop or a haunted house..." Kong Xiyan couldn't help but mutter.
"Of course it's a fortune-telling shop." A woman speaking awkward Chinese came out from behind the curtain. She had an afro, round glasses, a face about 40 years old, a large hooked nose, and a bit of a witch. Her cat-like eyes were painted with purple eyeshadow. She wore a loose robe and looked Kong Xiyan up and down. "What do you want to test?"
"Measuring the weather." Kong Xiyan replied.
"How can you measure the weather? Don't you have a cell phone?"
"The phone doesn't measure accurately."
"You're so superstitious at such a young age?"
"If you don't believe in superstition, why do you open this shop?"
"It's just a scam. I'll cheat anyone I can."
"How many have you cheated today?"
"You're the first one this month."
"It's so bleak. Come on, I'll open a shop for you."
After hearing Kong Xiyan's last words, the witch-looking woman lifted the curtain she had walked out of earlier and said, "Come in."
Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched when she saw this.
Whose secret code is so long and so casual...
It's just... outrageous!
Despite thinking so in her heart, Kong Xiyan still put away her phone and walked in.
When she walked into the door, Kong Xiyan realized that unlike the gloomy atmosphere outside, it was unusually bright and warm inside, and the space seemed much larger.
"Please sit down for a while. She hasn't come yet."
The woman who let Kong Xiyan in said this and went about her own business. Kong Xiyan looked around, somewhat curious about what kind of person she was going to meet this time and what kind of commission she was going to complete.
She had a fortune told after receiving a call from her young apprentice today.
But I found that nothing was calculated.
Either this matter goes against the will of heaven, which is unlikely.
Either this person has a special fate that cannot be desecrated.
No matter what the result was, she was very curious.
After a while, I heard the tinkling of wind chimes on the door outside, followed by the sound of high heels stepping on the wooden floor.
The curtain was lifted, revealing the graceful face of a beautiful woman with long black hair draped over her shoulders and big round eyes that were particularly attractive.
Seeing the beautiful woman come in, the witch-like woman who had previously invited Kong Xiyan in put on her headphones and walked out.
When passing by Kong Xiyan, she could even hear the noise coming from the headphones.
Death heavy metal rock...what a crazy musical aesthetic.
"I didn't expect you to be so young?" The other party seemed surprised when he saw Kong Xiyan.
"I didn't expect that either." Kong Xiyan looked into the woman's eyes and curled the corners of her lips: "The Queen of Xing Erqun would ask me for a commission."
No wonder she couldn't figure it out.
After establishing a country, there’s no way she could calculate it so easily!
"?" The queen was also stunned. She didn't expect that she had invited someone here, and his identity was recognized after just one encounter.
"Gold coins." Kong Xiyan didn't beat around the bush and directly stretched out her hand with her palm facing up.
The queen then took out a special round gold coin.
The white fingertips pinched the edge of the gold coin, the little finger was slightly raised, and the mere action of putting the coin down was full of grace.
After Kong Xiyan got the gold coins, she flicked them with her fingertips.
The gold coin flipped several times in the air and fell back into her hand.
After confirming that this gold coin was one of the seven she had sent out, Kong Xiyan put the coin into her pocket and looked at the queen: "Let's talk about the commission."
"I want you to help me find someone, find her and protect her." The queen's eyes were gentle.
"Age, name, and do you have a photo?"
The queen slowly shook her head. "I haven't seen her yet. I only know that she has come to Xing Er Tang."
"Who told you?" Kong Xiyan looked at the queen: "Moya?"
"How do you know everything?" The queen, though she had seen a lot, had never encountered anything like this before. "Who are you?"
"The owner of the gold coin." Kong Xiyan smiled and said, "Do you want to meet her?"
"How could I not want to?" The queen's eyes dropped slightly: "I dream about it, but..."
After confirming the Queen's thoughts, Kong Xiyan tapped the table with her fingertips: "Queen, some things cannot be solved by running away."
"This isn't an escape, but a weighing of the pros and cons." The queen sighed deeply. "I'm about to choose a husband for the eldest princess, and I..."
"What? Choosing a husband for the princess?" Kong Xiyan was stunned for a moment. "The real purpose of Xing Ertang's investment promotion in China this time is to find a consort for the princess?"
"You don't know?" The queen looked even more surprised than Kong Xiyan.
After all, Kong Xiyan already knew everything about the previously secretive matter, so how could this matter...
"Isn't the Princess's eighteenth birthday still a week away?" Kong Xiyan paused after saying this. "There's said to be a grand and mysterious event on the penultimate day of Cultural Week. Is that the son-in-law selection event? And the grand celebration on the last day... is it an engagement?!"
After thinking it all through, Kong Xiyan suddenly had an epiphany.
No wonder Princess Winnie appeared at the airport dressed like that on the first day they arrived in Xing'ertang.
If the purpose was just to capture Mo Ya, there would be no need to disguise himself like that.
She wants to...escape from marriage!
"How come you seem to know everything one moment and know nothing the next?" The queen was also surprised when she saw Kong Xiyan.
This girl looked about the same age as his daughter, and she was actually the owner of the gold coin.
How many people fought for those seven gold coins back then? She only got one by chance.
This girl...who is she?
"What is your purpose in wanting to find your biological daughter?" Kong Xiyan looked at the queen with a cold look in her eyes: "Are you trying to force her to get married?"
No one can control her sister's life!
"How could that be!" The Queen quickly waved her hands. "I don't even want Winnie to make such a hasty decision about her marriage, so how could I push my own daughter into this? Besides, I haven't decided whether I want to see her or not..."
"Why are you not sure?"
"Freedom is precious." The queen sighed deeply. "In Xing'ertang, as the eldest princess, my responsibilities are too heavy. I cannot relax even a little bit."
Especially after Moya became a saint, she thought so even more.
Recently, she had also thought about whether it would be better to let her daughter grow up freely in China and marry the man she loves...
But the eldest princess' fate is destined to be linked with Xing Ertang's national destiny.
Even she couldn't change it.
So, she was confused and conflicted.
As a mother, she really wanted to see her biological daughter, hug her, and hear her call her mother.
But what if the price of all this is that my daughter loses her freedom and bears unavoidable responsibilities?
Can she...really still do this?
