Chapter 167: Redress
After hearing what Wei Xiaoran said, the fortune teller rolled his eyes and smiled knowingly.
Today is Qingming Festival. The family members of children born today will definitely be uncomfortable. No wonder this person came to me to have his fortune told.
He took the red paper with a calm expression. Written on it was the birth time of the twins, a boy and a girl. He pretended to calculate it twice with his hands and sighed to Wei Xiaoran.
Wei Xiaoran also had a worried look on his face, and there was a fierce look between his eyebrows.
The fortune teller is quite knowledgeable. After so many years of experience, he can tell a person's character just by looking at him.
Now seeing the fierce look on Wei Xiaoran's face, he knew that this person was not someone to be trifled with. The words that were about to come out of his mouth were immediately swallowed back into his stomach.
"Well, I've checked. These two children are twins, a boy and a girl. Twins are a good omen, but being born during the Qingming Festival is a bit inappropriate." The fortune teller said carefully, while also looking at Wei Xiaoran's expression.
When the fortune teller said the first half of the sentence, Wei Xiaoran's face flashed with joy, but when he heard the second half, he frowned again.
Wei Xiaoran quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
The fortune teller said: "This pair of twins, a boy and a girl, were originally born to bring blessings to your family, but since they were born at this time, their fate has changed.
A ritual must be performed for them both, or they may not live to adulthood."
"Is it enough to just perform the ritual? No need for anything else?" Wei Xiaoran asked again with some concern.
The fortune teller chuckled and said, "When I take action, I will only perform a ritual, nothing else is needed."
Wei Xiaoran nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Old Immortal, can you calculate the fate of these two children with me and her mother?"
The old immortal smiled slightly and said, "These two children have a very strong bond with their parents. You and Madam Ling will surely live a long life."
Wei Xiaoran nodded, but there was no expression on his face. When the fortune teller saw Wei Xiaoran's appearance at this moment, his heart suddenly tightened.
He thought back to himself, thinking back to what he had just said. It seemed he had said nothing wrong. Why had this person suddenly changed their attitude? Before the fortune teller could figure it out, the curtain of the luxurious carriage shook, and Lin Qian, who had been listening, finally got out.
Lin Qian looked at the fortune teller's surprised face and sneered, "What a joke! You claim to be an old god, and your predictions are accurate and flawless. I think that's all bullshit."
There were quite a few people watching the fun around, three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding the open space in front of the fortune teller's house tightly.
Now, when they heard Lin Qian's words, everyone was shocked.
The fortune teller's face darkened. He pointed at Lin Qian and asked, "What do you mean? Madam, you must be honest and substantiate what you say. I wonder where I went wrong?"
Lin Qian pointed at the red paper in his hand and said, "Of course, everything you said is wrong. The mother of this pair of twins died when they were born, and their father and grandmother are involved in a murder lawsuit. You say they have a strong bond with their parents. Isn't that a joke?"
Wei Xiaoran nodded: "That's right, these two children are not mine and my wife's. You can't even see this, and you still dare to call yourself an old immortal?"
The people around who were watching the fun began to point fingers at the fortune teller, whispering in groups of three or four, and turning their heads to look at the fortune teller from time to time.
The fortune teller was a little at a loss for a moment, but he soon realized that these two people must have come to cause trouble for him on purpose.
"Who sent you? What do you want to do to me? Also, you deliberately gave me the wrong birth date and horoscope, so I naturally can't tell." The fortune teller reacted quickly and said hurriedly.
Wei Xiaoran stood in front of Lin Qian and said to the fortune teller, "The children's birth dates are naturally correct, but I think if you were truly skilled, you would be able to tell that these two children are what you call unlucky children who bring bad luck to their father, mother, and the entire family."
Seeing the fortune teller's confused expression, as if he couldn't remember clearly, Lin Qian said, "These are the two children in Pan Di's belly."
As soon as Pan Di's name came out, the onlookers shouted even louder.
But they all knew Pan Di, who had married into their Sanli Village at a young age. She was pretty, dexterous and hardworking, and filial to her parents-in-law.
However, such a capable and beautiful daughter-in-law is not liked by the whole family. Her parents-in-law beat her for no reason.
If an ordinary person had suffered such pain, he would have been unable to bear it and would have run away, but Pan Di did not. He still stayed at home and worked.
Later, when she became pregnant, her mother-in-law and husband treated her a little better, but unfortunately the good times did not last long. The fortune teller said that the baby in Pan Di's belly was a girl.
The son-loving mother-in-law started beating and kicking Pan Di again. Later, Pan Di's father-in-law broke his leg and his husband was injured, so the mother-in-law came to see the fortune teller again.
However, the fortune teller said that the child in Pan Di's belly was a monster, and would bring disaster to his father, mother and the whole family.
Just as a hemp rope breaks at its thinnest point, misery always finds its way to those who are doomed. Thus, Pan Di, who had suffered a lifetime of misery, left the world forever after giving birth to two children.
The fortune teller, her husband and mother-in-law were all the murderers of Pan Di's death.
Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran were staring at the fortune teller whose face changed drastically, but suddenly they heard a few exclamations from the crowd. Looking in the direction of the sound, Lin Qian saw a thin man rushing out of the crowd.
Beside him, there was a short and fat old woman in her fifties or sixties, who also followed the man and rushed out of the crowd.
"Lian Laoliu! Aunt Lian, why are you running?" People around asked in confusion, but Lian Laoliu and his mother turned a deaf ear and kept trying to run away.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard. Everyone looked back and saw a man riding a tall horse rushing towards them. Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran recognized the man as Chen Rui.
Without thinking too much, Lin Qian immediately called out, "Chen Rui, stop them. These two are Pan Di's husband and mother-in-law."
Chen Rui hurried back just to see what happened to Pan Di's husband and mother-in-law. Now the two of them wanted to escape and were caught by him. Naturally, Chen Rui refused.
He immediately jumped off his horse and kicked Lian Laoliu and his mother back into the circle.
Only then did Lin Qian see Lian Laoliu's appearance clearly. He was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, dark and thin, with a small nose and small eyes, and looked a bit vulgar.
At this time, both mother and son fell to the ground, holding their stomachs and crying loudly. Lian Laoliu's mother shouted: "Who are you? Why are you hitting people?"
Lin Qian sneered, stood up, and said, "Who are we? We are naturally the ones who seek justice for Pan Di."
Hearing this, the faces of Lao Liu and his mother turned pale.
