Chapter 755 - 755 Fortune Telling
755 Fortune Telling
The pedestrians on the street were curious about Jiang Ming and the other two, and they all looked over.
Some of the more curious people walked directly to Jiang Ming and the other two, saying that they wanted them to read their fortunes.
Jiang Ming looked at one of them and said seriously, “You can choose one out of the three of us. You only have to pay us if we’re right.”
When the person heard this, he immediately became enthusiastic and pointed at Liang Sisi. “I want them to read my fortune!”
Seeing that Liang Sisi was thinner and shorter, this person felt that Liang Sisi was not trustworthy.
However, Liang Sisi sat down and told him everything that had happened recently.
When the man saw that they all matched up, he immediately apologized and talked about his troubles.
Liang Sisi gave him a positive reading. It made him happy and hopeful for the future.
The man immediately paid ten taels of silver and left.
Seeing this person’s behavior, the others also came over to let Jiang Ming and the other two read their fortunes.
Because they were very accurate, there was an endless stream of people in front of them in a short period of time. Jiang Ming and the other two could not even count them all. Thankfully, they still managed to see them all quickly.
After a while, Madam Zhenguo walked over and looked at Jiang Ming arrogantly.
“I heard that your fortune-telling has been quite accurate recently. Why don’t you read my fortune?”
Jiang Ming did not expect that Madam Zhenguo would take the initiative to look for him. He could not help but be a little surprised.
Liang Sisi was extremely excited.
Just like Jiang Ming, she did not expect that Madam Zhenguo would take the initiative to come over. She thought that they would have to take the initiative to look for Madam Zhenguo the next day.
As for Sikong Wuyuan, he wished he could find a hole to hide in.
From his point of view, although he was in disguise, everything he had learned was still from Madam Zhenguo.
In addition, he felt that his craftsmanship was not exquisite enough and that he might be discovered by Madam Zhenguo.
As expected, when Madam Zhenguo glanced at the people around Jiang Ming, her gaze lingered on Sikong Wuyuan.
Sikong Wuyuan was extremely nervous, but he still tried his best to remain calm on the surface.
“You look like an old friend of mine. I think I’ve seen you somewhere before.”
Madam Zhenguo stared at Sikong Wuyuan as if she wanted to see through him.
Sikong Wuyuan secretly gulped. He did not know what to do. He also did not know what to say.
Madam Zhenguo’s beautiful face swayed in front of him.
After so many years, this was the first time Sikong Wuyuan had seen Madam Zhenguo. It was like it was just yesterday that they were still a couple.
Madam Zhenguo had some wrinkles now, but her figure and appearance were still well-maintained.
Liang Sisi was afraid that Sikong Wuyuan would be exposed, so she quickly answered on behalf of Sikong Wuyuan, “Madam, this fortune-teller is mute and can’t speak. If you have any questions, just ask me and the fortune-teller beside you.”
Upon hearing Liang Sisi’s words, Madam Zhenguo’s expression was a little gloomy, but she quickly concealed her expression and looked at Liang Sisi.
“Alright, then I won’t chat with him anymore. I’ll just chat with you guys.”
Jiang Ming took the opportunity to change the topic. “Madam, whose fortune do you want us to read?”
Madam Zhenguo pursed her lips and looked at Jiang Ming. “Sir, I want you to read the fortunes of my old friend and my son.”
Sikong Wuyuan’s legs trembled when he heard her words. Who was the old friend she was referring to?
Fortunately, Jiang Ming had stepped in front of him. Otherwise, he would have been exposed.
“What should I look up?”
Jiang Ming shook the box in his hand and looked directly at Madam Zhenguo.
Madam Zhenguo’s eyes began to turn dark, and her thoughts drifted. She no longer looked at Sikong Wuyuan, Jiang Ming, or Liang Sisi.
“My old friend’s name is Sikong Wuyuan. I want to ask about his whereabouts. My son’s name is Feng’er.”
Madam Zhenguo gave them a brief description.
Hearing this, Sikong Wuyuan was a little excited. He wanted to go up and tell Madam Zhenguo that he was Sikong Wuyuan.
However, Sikong Wuyuan was still rational. In addition, Liang Sisi, who had noticed this, secretly held his arm. Thus, he could not rush forward to tell Madam Zhenguo.
Jiang Ming gestured for Madam Zhenguo to sit down. He placed his right hand on the fortune-telling board.
Madam Zhenguo followed suit, her expression tense.
Jiang Ming looked at the lines on Madam Zhenguo’s right hand and replied calmly, “Madam Zhenguo, you didn’t have a good time after you were separated from Sikong Wuyuan, right?”
Madam Zhenguo trembled, then she sighed and said, “Indeed. After leaving him, I often experienced nightmares. Sometimes, I would not sleep for the entire night.”
Sikong Wuyuan was pleasantly surprised, but he was also filled with helplessness and despair.
He had nothing to do with Madam Zhenguo anymore. It was time to let go of those things.
“Did you love him very much?”
At this moment, Liang Sisi could not help but ask this question.
Madam Zhenguo was stunned. Her eyes darkened as she said, “Love is love. However, we can’t be together anymore. I prefer something else to mere love.”
Sikong Wuyuan knew what Madam Zhenguo was talking about. He silently shed tears, but he also understood Madam Zhenguo’s thought process.
In this place, only those with power could survive and have everything they wanted.
Jiang Ming could not bear to see Sikong Wuyuan get hurt. He immediately gave her a positive reading and continued, “I need to go to your house to see your son’s other fate.”
As for Sikong Wuyuan, he did not say anything good about him. Instead, he said something bad.
In his opinion, Sikong Wuyuan did not need to be entangled with this woman.
The woman in front of him did not prioritize Sikong Wuyuan. Even if they met again in the future, she still would not put him first.
Instead of letting Sikong Wuyuan feel the pain of being abandoned again, it was better to cut off his relationship with Madam Zhenguo and let the two of them heal alone.
Sikong Wuyuan knew Jiang Ming’s intentions and tacitly agreed.
Madam Zhenguo sighed a few times. She made an appointment with Jiang Ming and the other two and turned to leave.
Their goal had been achieved. Jiang Ming and the other two cleaned up the stall and returned to the inn.
Liang Sisi wanted to eat steamed buns, so she went to buy some. She came back and told Jiang Ming a piece of news.
There would be an activity to throw embroidered balls later. The activity would be hosted by Liu’er Yuanyuan’s daughter, Liu’er Qianqian.
Hearing this, Jiang Ming became enthusiastic and wanted to take a look.
Naturally, Liang Sisi would not let go of this opportunity, so she went as well.
As for Sikong Wuyuan, he needed some time to calm down, so he did not go.
