Chapter 6 Venomous Mouth
"Where did this charlatan come from? Why are you talking nonsense here? Do you know anything about geomancy and feng shui? Have you learned the authentic Taoist metaphysics?" Master Changqing was also anxious.
Everyone in the Liu family was stunned.
Liu Shiyou had already lost his temper due to Xu Shanshan's anger. He said in a trembling voice: "Xu Shanshan, have you ever put poison on your lips? You said before that our Liu family would be exiled at best and exterminated at worst, but now no one in our Liu family is left alive. You are so cruel!"
Xu Shanshan was also helpless: "Originally, there was still a choice of light or heavy, but he dug out those obscure things, which is equivalent to poisoning your food, speeding up your demise."
She glanced at Master Changqing.
How could Master Changqing bear such an insult?
"You are talking nonsense!" Master Changqing accused the stunned Father Liu on the spot: "If you don't believe me, I will not care about your troubles, and I will not accept a penny of the money you give me!"
Father Liu came back to his senses immediately, and he hurriedly apologized, "No, no, we don't believe what this person said at all, Master Changqing, please don't be offended."
After saying that, he turned around and said to Liu Shiyou sternly: "Shiyou, where did you find this female liar? Send her away immediately."
He said in embarrassment: "Dad, she...may not be a liar."
"what?"
Liu Shiyou quickly pulled his father aside, and his mother also came over to listen to him tell what happened on Quexie Mountain. His father was surprised and asked, "Did she really calculate the solar eclipse? Also, are you sure that person is General Huo from Longdong?"
"I'm not stupid. Besides, he brought an army with him... and he also carried a black coffin with him. How could it be fake?" Liu Shiyou rolled his eyes at his father.
Father Liu pondered for a while before he asked with a worried but polite look on his face, "Master Changqing, will our Liu family really be safe from now on?"
Master Changqing said with a firm voice: "Of course! If you don't believe it, just wait and see."
Xu Shanshan looked back at Liu's mother, only to see black lightning flashing in the white mist above her head and a gloomy and decadent look on her face.
She said, "No need to do that now, Madam Liu. Your luck is the lowest today. You may suffer a major financial loss. The hexagram indicates a resurgence of the ashes. The five elements are in the fire element. You'd better go back to your room immediately. It will come true in a cup of tea."
Mother Liu was stunned.
"is it?"
She swallowed and looked at Liu's father, Liu Shiyou and the others in confusion.
"I, do I believe it or not?"
She also heard the private conversation between the father and son just now. The son said that this girl has some real skills, but the problem is that she also believes in Master Changqing.
Liu Shiyou's heart was pounding. He had seen how accurate Xu Shanshan's predictions were.
"Mom, please go back to your room."
"Oh, then I..."
During this time, the eldest son of the Liu family kept staring at Xu Shanshan. The more he looked, the more familiar she looked. The more he looked, the more surprised he became: "I recognize you, you are Xu Shanshan!"
It’s no wonder that he took so long to recognize her, mainly because she looked completely different in terms of clothing, temperament and appearance.
He grabbed Liu's mother and said, "Mother, don't believe her. She is the real charlatan. Before when you and father were out, she relied on the name of a fortune teller to come to our Liu Mansion to defraud money. Now she dares to come again! I will report her to the police and arrest her. I will only eliminate harm for the people."
"Brother, wait a moment."
"Are you stupid? Don't you know what kind of person she is?"
"I know, but..."
At this time, Father Liu's face also turned cold and he said, "Shi You, is what your elder brother said true?"
Liu Shiyou naturally couldn't lie to his father, so he could only forcefully explain to them: "She used to be a liar, but now she can't lie anymore, and she plans to make money with her real ability."
Father Liu, Mother Liu, and Brother Liu: "..."
Master Changqing was also happy.
"It turns out that you can improve your abilities just by reforming yourself. I'm willing to learn from you."
Just as they were struggling over whether to report the incident to the police or not, a foul smell of burning wood suddenly wafted over from somewhere.
Mother Liu sniffed and asked curiously, "What's that smell?"
They seemed to hear the noise of running around outside. While they were wondering, a big maid rushed in with her skirt in hand. She said anxiously, "Oh no, Madam, your bedroom is on fire."
“It’s on fire?!”
Mother Liu rushed over in a hurry, and the others naturally followed.
When they arrived at Yilan Courtyard and looked at the house that was already completely burned, Liu's mother's eyes went dark and she almost collapsed to the ground.
"My life savings..." Her dowry, shop account books, house deeds, land deeds... and the silver bills and jewelry she had saved over the years, all gone, all gone, she was in tears.
"lady!"
"Mother!"
Father Liu and the two brothers of the Liu family hurriedly helped her up, and they didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.
Brother Liu looked at Xu Shanshan and said hatefully, "Did you do this?!"
He didn't believe that she had predicted it accurately, he just felt that she must have hired someone to set the fire.
Xu Shanshan's eyes met Brother Liu's, his dark eyes as bottomless as the abyss.
"You run an underground gambling house, right? Today is the day of disaster. If you don't close the house at 15:30, someone will die. Not only will you lose half of your wealth, but you will also be involved in a lawsuit."
Brother Liu froze in vain.
When he heard her talk about Liu Mu before, he didn't feel much, but when she told him his fortune, an indescribable horror arose in his heart.
He wanted to move his feet unconsciously, but what did he just say? Was he shameless?
No, it's fake, what she said must be fake!
"Brother, why aren't you going yet? Hurry up!"
After what happened to Liu's mother, Liu Shiyou was so anxious that he wanted to kick him out of the house for his inferiority.
Neither he nor Liu's father knew that he was running an underground casino, but after hearing what Xu Shanshan said and seeing Brother Liu's expression as if he was struck by lightning, who could not have guessed that he was "guilty as a thief".
"I... won't go."
He used up his last bit of pride and firmly believed that Xu Shanshan was a liar.
There was less than half an hour left until three quarters past noon. Faced with all these sudden emergencies, Father Liu felt a splitting headache. He could only pull out Master Changqing, who was sweating profusely, to judge him.
"Didn't you say that the trouble has been solved?"
"But two days ago, no, wasn't everything calm?" Master Changqing tried to argue.
Father Liu suppressed his anger and said, "What about now? My house is on fire, how are you going to explain it?"
"There must be some remaining evil that has not been cleared away. Let me calculate it carefully..."
Master Changqing was just about to take out his food when he suddenly saw Xu Shanshan staring at him. The calm yet deep look in his eyes was simply creepy to him.
His face turned pale and he was shaking violently.
Since she said whoever she was talking about would be unlucky, Master Changqing immediately raised his hand in panic: "Wait, you girl must have poisoned your mouth, I don't want to listen to you, and you must not tell my fortune."
So Xu Shanshan looked at Liu's father, only to see that Liu's father, who was like an eagle in the business world, turned pale and started to tremble.
"Old..." I'll let this old man off too.
Xu Shanshan interrupted him directly and said, "Master Liu, did the Xie family give your Liu family any special items for you to carry with you?"
He took a long breath and his face suddenly became serious.
He looked at Liu Shiyou and saw him nod.
After hesitating for a long time, Father Liu dismissed all the servants and had Master Changqing "sent" to the room and temporarily detained.
"How do you know this?"
"I said before, someone is planning to exterminate your Liu family, but everything is ready except for the east wind."
"What is Dongfeng?" He was shocked. Although he didn't believe that the Xie family would harm his Liu family, this little girl's words were so accurate that he felt uneasy.
Xu Shanshan didn't say anything for the time being, and just asked, "Can you lend me that thing to take a look?"
Father Liu thought it wouldn't hurt to just take a look, so he took out a string of shiny ebony beads.
Xu Shanshan took out a handkerchief, wrapped it up and took it.
Seeing her elegant and sophisticated movements, Mr. Liu suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Could it be that if he touched this thing, he would be unlucky or poisoned? Damn it, he had been carrying it with him for so long.
