HCB Chapter 271 He wasn't her blood relative, and neither was her son.
Chapter 271 He wasn't her blood relative, and neither was her son.
Shen Zhiyi looked at herself.
It has no missing arms or legs.
It seems that the system bug has nothing to do with her.
The system had a lot of bugs last time, but nothing happened to her.
So it should be the same this time.
Shen Zhiyi pretended not to hear, completely unconcerned.
But the others were uneasy.
Zhang Sheren and the others in the courtyard exchanged glances and finally decided to go with Shen Zhiyi to set up a stall.
Because all the officials, including the old emperor himself, stayed up all night, those who had nothing to do today were given a day off.
Don't even think about it if you have urgent matters to deal with.
Shen Zhiyi led the group back to her stall location.
"I never expected that they would keep it for me all this time. What a kind person."
Zhang Sheren's lips twitched violently.
Who wouldn't dare leave this to the living Yama? Otherwise, Shen Zhiyi would have dug up all of his ancestors for eighteen generations.
With the help of An Qi and An Jiu, Shen Zhiyi's stall was quickly set up.
"Master, you've finally arrived!"
"I've been waiting for you for so long."
Shen Zhiyi was completely bewildered, then overjoyed.
She hadn't even sat down when business started coming in.
"Who is your Excellency?"
"My surname is Yuan, and my given name is Chongguang."
[Yuan Zhongguang? That name sounds familiar. Oh, I remember now, he was something from the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince's tutor?]
Yuan Chongguang was so angry he almost vomited blood.
He's not the Crown Prince's tutor!
What was the official title of "Crown Prince's Horse Washer" again? Was it someone who bathed the crown prince's horses?
"Pfft."
A very low laugh came from behind Shen Zhiyi. She turned around in confusion and saw Zhang Sheren and his group talking about something.
She felt like she was being ostracized by these people.
Just as they were about to stop and ask what they were talking about, Yuan Zhongguang said in an extremely unpleasant tone, "I am the Junior Guardian of the Crown Prince."
So, it wasn't a horse washing ceremony at all!
Moreover, the "Prince's Horse Washer" was not actually for bathing the prince's horse!
Instead, he was responsible for managing the Crown Prince's documents and books.
"Ah, so it's Junior Protector Yuan."
Shen Zhiyi remained expressionless, as if she hadn't said anything wrong in her mind.
"May I ask what you, Junior Guardian Yuan, intend to calculate?"
Yuan Shaobao wouldn't really be angry with Shen Zhiyi; his anger came quickly and dissipated just as fast.
Hearing Shen Zhiyi's words, he immediately remembered his important business.
Many people now know that the person in front of them is setting up a stall again today, so everyone around is a familiar face.
Now, he needs to make good use of this opportunity.
"Shen Lang."
[Hmm? Do you think they can tell I'm Shen Lang just by looking at me? I'm even wearing a beard!!!]
Zhang Sheren couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and ripped off the fake beard from Shen Zhiyi's face.
"Don't wear it, it's embarrassing."
Shen Zhiyi: ? ? ?
[You damn Zhang Sheren, you deserve it! Your wife took the kids back to her parents' house today.]
Zhang Sheren: ? ? ?
What? His wife ran away?
Zhang Sheren couldn't sit still any longer, but then he thought that he had received a lot of razor blades recently, so his wife and children should probably go into hiding.
"Ahem, Mr. Shen, I've come here today to have my horoscopes told to see if the Lu family and my Yuan family are incompatible."
"what?"
Yuan Shaobao said sincerely, "It is like this. I have a younger sister who has recently reached the age for marriage. My sister is quite picky. Although it is true that we don't care about aristocratic families now, my sister is a person who is particular."
Shen Zhiyi nodded, indicating that she was listening.
"There aren't many aristocratic families left in the world today."
There are still quite a few, but not many are still active in officialdom.
"So, I'd like to see if the Yuan family and the Lu family are destined to become in-laws."
At this moment, Dr. Lu, the Grand Master of Ceremonies who was nearby, sneered.
"Back then, the Yuan family was not qualified to marry into my Lu family, yet they still had the nerve to be picky."
"Exactly, that's right, they really gave him too much credit."
A colleague across from him poured Dr. Lu a glass of wine with great hospitality.
"How can the Yuan family compare to the Lu family? Your ancestors produced quite a few empresses and served countless emperors. What is the Yuan family compared to them?"
These words struck a chord with Dr. Lu.
On the other side, Yuan Shaobao continued.
"So what I mean is that I want to see if the Lu family and my younger sister are really a good match."
As he spoke, Yuan Shaobao slowly moved a certain amount of silver toward Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi's breath hitched.
[Ugh, system, hurry up! Retrieve all the untold stories between the Yuan and Lu families.]
She had decided that if their ancestors had a good relationship, she would say no.
If the relationship isn't very good, she'll say no.
She doesn't know how to read birth charts, so she can't possibly harm the girl.
But you shouldn't let money slip through your fingers.
At worst, she could be kind and help Yuan Shaobao look into the Lu family's private affairs.
The system buzzed in response to Shen Zhiyi's excitement.
[Under maintenance...]
[Lung fog! I guess I'll have to do it myself. You're unreliable, after all. You've been fixing this bug for over a year and it's only getting worse.]
The system felt utterly humiliated!
He was determined to eradicate this stubborn problem this time!
"Dear friend, oh no, I mean..."
"Please wait a moment, Junior Guardian Yuan. Fortune telling takes some time."
Yuan Shaobao silently rubbed the goosebumps that had risen on his arm.
He didn't have the nerve to directly call out Shen Zhiyi, saying that she didn't even do her homework before becoming a fortune teller, and that he hadn't even given her her birth date and time!
Wow, I never expected this!
Yuan Shaobao held his breath.
Doctor Lu scoffed, his demeanor haughty and aloof: "Boring."
The legitimate Lu family is long dead.
Those present who could hear Shen Zhiyi's inner thoughts: ? ? ?
What does Shen Zhiyi mean by this?
Dr. Lu noticed the intense gazes around him and slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"That's utter nonsense!"
He's still alive and well; what do you mean by "all dead"?
As expected, Shen Zhiyi's mouth could never utter a kind word.
Haha, wow, that was absolutely amazing!
With Shen Zhiyi's affirmation of "wonderful," many people's minds started to stir.
They began to stare at Doctor Lu without restraint, and even those who weren't around rushed over, openly treating Doctor Lu like a monkey.
"Oh my, Dr. Lu, I didn't know you were still alive. I thought we had to prepare for a feast."
"you!"
Doctor Lu was so angry that his face turned green.
The current head of the Lu family is a Grand Master of Ceremonies, and this guy is extremely proud of his surname, tsk tsk tsk.
The familiar "tsk tsk tsk" sound drew everyone's attention.
It turns out that Doctor Lu wasn't his father's biological son.
Doctor Lu's face turned pale.
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!
[Hilarious! Dr. Lu's only son isn't even his biological son.]
Doctor Lu's face turned deathly pale.
Shen Zhiyi is talking complete nonsense!
