Chapter 15: Rather Believe It to be True

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘It really is an embarrassment.’

But Qin Zhi could not say it.

When he started keeping watch over this young lady earlier, he had regarded Ms. Xie with disdain due to her ridiculously slow walking.

Moreover, he really thought that it was impossible.

How could he not be his dad’s biological son? His dad loved him so dearly.

But he could not say that the young master was a fool and had been deceived. So he shook his head firmly. “No, just wait and see, I’m sure I’ll be fine. By then, the young master will know how good this pretty lady is at deceiving people.”

He believed in his father! He looked very much like his father!

Imperial Bodyguard Zhou was so angry that he decided to ignore Qin Zhi. He hurried to catch up with Ms. Xie.

“Ms. Xie…”

He called her twice, but Ms. Xie did not look back. Imperial Bodyguard Zhou anxiously called out to her again, “Grand Immortal, wait for me.”

Xie Qiao turned around.

“What’s the matter?”

“...” Imperial Bodyguard Zhou’s eyebrows flew up, and he immediately said, “It’s regarding my friend, Qin Zhi, the one who had his fortune read by you yesterday. Can you help him? He is still young, and his wife is pregnant. If anything bad happens to him, his whole family will have a hard time.”

Xie Qiao gazed at somewhere else.

It just happened that she saw Ms. Lu’s sullen face.

Something was on her mind, and she did not wish to say more. She took out a safety talisman. “Ask him to put this close to his body. He can hold it at bay for a while, but not for his whole life. His situation is different. If he doesn’t resolve the fundamental problem, he will have to face death sooner or later.”

“Yes, yes, I will persuade him,” Imperial Bodyguard Zhou said immediately.

‘I would rather believe it to be true than otherwise.’

Regardless of whether this girl was a swindler or a grand immortal, it was better to seek the peace of mind first.

Imperial Bodyguard Zhou knew the rules. He had to pay for the fortune-telling.

He forked out approximately twenty copper coins.

Xie Qiao did not regard it with scorn. Collecting a fee was just her acting according to the law.

Her safety talisman could treat the symptoms, but not the root cause. She did not collect too much money because that was inappropriate and not conducive to collecting good karma.

Once she delivered the items, Xie Qiao went to find Ms. Lu and her daughter.

Besides having a huge rooster by her side, she also carried a huge bamboo box on her back and held a package in her hands. Her demeanor made her look like a refugee.

Ms. Li turned her head and glanced at her, and she instantly flew into a rage.

“No wonder my luck is that bad today. Look at her! Everyone would think that I’m abusing her! She has a carriage to ride on but chose to walk with her two feet and sleep in the wilderness all night without caring about her own reputation. What if she gets you into trouble in the future?!” Ms Lu grunted angrily.

She had lost her money today!

She felt really angry.

“Mother, don’t say that. She will be my eldest sister in the future. If you are too fierce, others will think you love me and despise her.” Pei Wanyue hurriedly calmed Ms. Lu down. “We lost a lot of money just now. I’m afraid it’s not easy to explain about it after we are back…”

Ms. Lu’s face went even paler.

It was far more than just losing money.

When they went out early this morning, they immediately went to the marketplace that sold jade. They never expected to lose their purse after going around the market and buying two small stones.

The purse was stuffed with two hundred silver notes, along with a small pendant.

The jade pendant was given to her by her husband, who asked someone to send it over. There were originally two pendants, one for her daughter and the other one for Xie Qiao.

The small jade pendant that was meant for Xie Qiao looked like white jade. It had been carved into the shape of a Pixiu, a mythical animal with two horns and wings. She did not know what the implied meaning of it was.

The pendant was not big, but it looked quite expensive.

The pendant given to her daughter was just as good, and it had an ivory white color.

The carving on it was a simple little peach, which was incomparable to the one given to Xie Qiao. That made her more angry as she started making the comparisons.

She thought about keeping that pendant with her for a few days. When she arrived in the imperial city, she would say that she was keeping it for this girl and would return it to her on the spot only if her husband mentioned it. But if he did not mention it...

Then she would continue keeping it.

‘Who would know that it had been stolen!’
