1677 Warning Xia Mingzhen
Chi Shuyan took in Mother Xia’s expectant gaze. Speaking of which, she had calculated Xia Mingcheng’s marriage fate with Yuan Yuan last time. This woman had ulterior motives. If she really married into the Xia family, she would only harm them. At the very least, Xia Mingcheng would lose this life; at worst, his family would be ruined.
But Mother Xia had probably long been brainwashed by Yuan Yuan. If Chi Shuyan really said this outright, not only would Mother Xia doubt her, she might also defend Yuan Yuan. Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything directly. At that moment, Xia Mingzhen brought the tea over. Chi Shuyan took a closer look at Xia Mingzhen’s physiognomy, only to find that there was some black qi around his forehead.
In other words, something would happen to Xia Mingcheng’s brother in a day or two. If he was lucky, it would just be bad luck, but if his luck wasn’t good, he might lose his life.
Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but frown and focus. Not long after, she saw an image of Xia Mingcheng’s younger brother about to go down the stairs. A woman suddenly appeared behind him, and she reached out and pushed him in the back. Xia Mingzhen screamed and rolled awkwardly down the stairs from the third floor to the first floor before he was knocked unconscious.
There was blood on the first floor and on the bottom steps. A lot of blood seeped out of Xia Mingzhen’s head not long after. Who knew if he was dead or alive.
The final scene was of a woman’s hideous and excited face poking out on the second floor. Who else could it be but Yuan Yuan?
When Xia Mingzhen came over with the tea, he saw the young Master staring at him, which made his hair stand on end. Xia Mingzhen even narcissistically wondered if the young lady had taken a fancy to him.
This young Master really suited his taste in terms of age and looks. Xia Mingzhen had long forgotten that she was already married. The more he looked at this young Master’s face, the more he felt that she was exquisite and too good-looking. She was really too f*cking good a match for him.
He had yet to discern any shortcomings this Master might have, but how did someone so young wind up a charlatan?
Xia Mingzhen made up his mind that if she really took a fancy to him and they got together, he would have to pull her back onto the right path.
The more the Master looked at him, the more smug Xia Mingzhen felt. He was about to strike up a conversation, but Mother Xia had yet to get the answer she wanted, so she couldn’t help but repeat, “Master, you haven’t replied to me yet: Are my Mingcheng and Xiao Yuan’s birth characters especially compatible?”
Mother Xia’s words drew Chi Shuyan’s attention back to her. Xia Mingcheng had been quite relaxed earlier, but the Master kept staring at his brother, and Xia Mingcheng gradually grew nervous.
He now understood what Master Chi was like; if nothing else, it was impossible for her to pay attention to someone for no reason. Xia Mingcheng couldn’t help but worry if something would happen to his brother.
Before Xia Mingcheng could ask, Chi Shuyan asked about Xia Mingzhen’s identity. “This is…?”
Without waiting for Xia Mingcheng’s mother to help introduce him, Xia Mingzhen couldn’t wait to say, “I’m Xia Mingzhen, Master. Can I ask for your name? We should all get along!”
Xia Mingcheng’s face turned black when he heard his brother’s tone. Mother Xia was also speechless, and she itched to wave her hand at this kid to hurry up and leave.
Chi Shuyan’s face was quite calm. She curled her lip and said to Mother Xia and Xia Mingcheng, “I see that this Little Brother Xia’s won’t be lucky for the next two days or so. Whatever you do, don’t provoke a petty person with your words. Otherwise, you’ll be unlucky at the very least or lose your life at worst. Don’t!”
Chi Shuyan’s words immediately caused an explosion in the Xia family. Xia Mingzhen was shocked and stupefied at first, then he thought to himself that he had only flirted with her – why was she cursing him like this? Besides, he wasn’t someone who liked to badmouth people behind their backs. He didn’t believe that he would offend someone.
Xia Mingzhen really wanted to lash back, but he couldn’t argue with a woman.
Mother Xia and Xia Mingcheng’s faces changed drastically. Compared with Mother Xia, who subconsciously believed in these words because she was more superstitious, Xia Mingcheng was well aware that the young lady in front of him was a real Master and not a swindler. Everything she had ever said had come true one after another, so Xia Mingcheng’s heart jumped in fright at her words about his brother. His face changed completely and his eyes were filled with incomparable panic as he hurriedly asked, “Master, what about my brother? How can we resolve this matter? Master Chi?”
Mother Xia immediately echoed anxiously, “That’s right, that’s right, Master, nothing will really happen to my youngest son, right? How can we resolve this? Or should I go to the temple and donate some incense money to protect my youngest son’s life?”
Chi Shuyan replied unhurriedly, “Little Brother Xia, just remember to watch your words for the next few days. Otherwise, the gains won’t make up for the losses.”
Mother Xia and Xia Mingcheng immediately nodded on Xia Mingzhen’s behalf. “Yes, yes, yes… Master, we will definitely make Mingzhen watch his mouth from now on! We won’t let him talk nonsense!”
Xia Mingzhen couldn’t help but lose his temper. He looked at Chi Shuyan and said aggressively, “How did I offend you? What I hate and despise the most is badmouthing others behind their backs. How can I say bad things about others behind their backs?” Xia Mingzhen was furious and wanted to ask his brother what sort of person he had invited over. At his brother’s warning gaze, however, he swallowed his words, and could only obediently shut up for the time being.
After looking at Xia Mingcheng’s brother’s physiognomy, Chi Shuyan got down to business, which was to reply to Mother Xia’s question about Xia Mingcheng and Yuan Yuan’s birth characters.
She curled her lip and continued, “If Aunt Xia trusts me, I’ll reply to your previous question.”
“Go ahead, go ahead!”
“Not only are your eldest son and this Yuan girl’s birth characters incompatible, they also counter each other. I’ve seen this girl before and read her physiognomy. This Yuan girl isn’t a good person, but has ill intentions. If you really want your eldest son to marry her, at the very least, your eldest son will lose his life, and at worst, your family will be ruined. Remember that.” After Chi Shuyan said what she needed to say, she saw that Mother Xia was dazed and in disbelief.
Taking advantage of Mother Xia’s bewilderment, Chi Shuyan didn’t stay any longer, and found an excuse to leave first. In any case, if something happened to Xia Mingzhen in a day or two, Mother Xia would believe her. Before she left, she asked Xia Mingcheng to send her off. She also planned to tell Xia Mingcheng to give his brother a few Safety Talismans. Even if something really happened in the next few days, his life shouldn’t be in danger.
