Halfway through the banquet, Zhu Zongyang started to get drunk. He couldn’t hide the happiness in his eyes.
He smiled at Granny Zhou and said, “Granny Zhou, everyone knows that you’re a psychic. Today, for the sake of this joyful occasion, read my fortune and tell me how long I can live for.”
Master Wang and Madam Wang frowned. They did not expect Zhu Zongyang to do this. Madam Wang looked at Granny Zhou and saw that her expression was cold. She was relieved. She had given Granny Zhou a lot of gold.
She should know very well about the rule of not accepting money from two sides.
Master Wang chuckled. “In-law, are you drunk?”
Zhu Zongyang smiled. “In-law, I’m not drunk. I just want her to read my fortune.”
Master Wang was very puzzled. “In-law, why do you want to read your fortune? It’s best not to know your future in advance. I heard that the more you know about your fortune, the worse it will be. From what I can see, your life will be very wealthy.”
Zhu Zongyang smiled. He wanted to embarrass Liu Sanniang so bad that no one could persuade him. Master Wang’s advice was naturally useless. He would not listen to him.
Zhu Zongyang had already stood up from his seat. He looked at Granny Zhou. “Granny Zhou, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Granny Zhou looked at Zhu Zongyang indifferently. “A long life and a life of wealth.”
Zhu Zongyang’s daughter was married to the only son of the Wang family. As Wang Xu’s father-in-law, he would naturally be well off. Just the betrothal gifts from the Wang family were enough for Zhu Zongyang and his wife to live a luxurious life.
Zhu Zongyang smiled. “What a coincidence!”
Master Wang smiled. “What do you mean by that? What kind of coincidence is there?”
Zhu Zongyang turned around and walked towards Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu happens to be a psychic as well. I believe not many people present here know that, right? She’s very capable and claims to be the chosen one.”
Zhu Zongyang walked up to Liu Sanniang and said coldly, “Miss Liu, take a closer look at me again. See if I still have a short life.”
Zhu Zongyang’s sarcastic tone made everyone understand what was going on.
Psychics were always respected, especially among the merchants.
They would ask the priests to see the feng shui of their house and help them choose an auspicious date to open their shop.
Why did Zhu Zongyang make things difficult for a girl? Moreover, this girl was a psychic. The first thing everyone thought of was that Liu Sanniang was a liar.
The curious and expectant looks on everyone’s faces made Zhu Zongyang feel extremely happy.
He was still alive and well. Nothing of what Liu Sanniang predicted, had happened.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Obviously, a long life and a life of wealth.”
Zhu Zongyang snorted. “Sanniang, that’s not what you said a while back. Do you dare to tell others what you said to me?”
Liu Sanniang slowly said, “Half a month ago, I said you will lose your life because of money. I saw a red and white sedan chair, which means that this marriage will become a funeral.”
Zhu Zongyang’s expression turned cold. “Sanniang, that is a blatant lie. I didn’t want to make things hard for you because you’re young, but you don’t show any signs of repentance. If I don’t teach you a lesson today, you will continue to lie to people.”
Zhu Zongyang turned to look at Wei Shilai and cupped his hands. “Magistrate Wei, you heard it too, right? I want to sue her for scamming me.”
Wei Shilai frowned and looked at Liu Sanniang.
But her expression was flat as she said, “Assistant Zhu, fortune is ever-changing. You’re still alive because death didn’t befall you.”
If Zhang Tianyou didn’t team up with Zhou Yunyi to kill her, Zhou Yunyi’s spiritual sense would not be gone. As a result, Zhu Zongyang would definitely die today.
Zhou Yunyi was actually the same as Miao Zhen. She satisfied everyone’s needs, but the price people had to pay was their lives.
After all, Zhou Yunyi wanted to live. She was not like Miao Zhen, who wanted someone else to live.
After Liu Sanniang finished speaking, Zhu Zongyang laughed. “Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard.”
Master Wang and Madam Wang naturally stood on Zhu Zongyang’s side. Master Wang stood up and looked at Liu Sanniang. “In-law, don’t take what a liar said to heart.”
Granny Li suddenly said, “Let me say something fair. Fortune is indeed ever-changing. What Miss Liu said makes sense. Other than unnatural death and life, there’s a chance for everything to take a sudden turn. Granny Zhou, am I right?”
Granny Zhou glanced at Granny Li and nodded gently. “That’s right.”
Zhu Zongyang forced a smile. He was on the verge of bursting into anger but he had to swallow it back down again.
Seeing that Zhu Zongyang was put on the spot, Master Wang naturally could not ignore it. On a day like today, while the guests were watching, if he didn’t stand up to defend his in-law, people would form bad opinions about him.
Master Wang narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Sanniang. “Everything changes, but things that have been preordained will not change, right? Miss, why don’t you read my fortune as well?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Old Master Wang and said slowly, “Sure.”
Master Wang smiled. “Then what do you need to prepare? What can you read?”
Liu Sanniang said, “I can read your mind, including all your secrets, and predict the future.”
Master Wang was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, “Alright, then read my mind. Feel free to say whatever you see out loud.”
Master Wang knew why Zhu Zongyang was so indignant now. He could totally feel him. This girl was really annoying. Even in front of so many people, she could still remain calm and lie so blatantly.
Master Wang was still smiling. “Miss Liu, what should I do?”
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Sit down and extend your hand.”
