My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Qin Bohong smiled and said, "Third brother, congratulations to you, a pair of twin sons, this is indeed a great fortune for our Qin family."

Qin Boqing, also excited, scratched his head and said, "Right, Mrs. Gu mentioned that it was elder sister Xixi who helped her through the childbirth and saved their lives. Big brother, since when did Xixi know medical skills?"

Qin Bohong was also somewhat at a loss. His elder daughter had left home at a young age and he could say he was extremely unfamiliar with her. The affairs of the inner house had always been managed by his wife, and he himself had always been embroiled in officialdom, naturally not knowing much about her. Somewhat embarrassed, he said, "I know very little myself."

At this time, Qin Yuanshan said, "She must have learned from Master Chi Yuan."

Everyone looked over, asking in surprise, "Isn’t that the Daoist? He knows medical skills too?"

"Nine out of ten Daoists possess medical knowledge. Among the Xuanmen Five Skills, medicine is one of them, it’s not strange that he knows it. When he took the girl away, he said that her Life Chart was unusual, yet her Dao Heart was exceptionally upright, a natural person of the Mystic Sect." Reminiscing, Qin Yuanshan said, "Actually, to this day, I might as well not hide it from you all. At that time, he also divined for the Qin family, saying there would be a calamity within ten years, and only Miss Xi could be the turning point."

Everyone was startled; they had never heard this before.

"Divination is too elusive; even though I’m acquainted with him, I couldn’t fully believe it. Back then, Miss Xi’s health was not good; she was frequently ill. When old Taoist Chi Yuan came, he said those words, and I simply let him take Miss Xi back to the old house to be taken care of." Qin Yuanshan recounted the past events, then continued, "As the ten years approached, the so-called disaster had not yet arrived. I assumed he had not calculated accurately and thus let down my guard. Who would have thought... alas, if it’s not a blessing, it can’t be avoided if it’s meant to happen. It’s all my fault that I’ve brought trouble to the Qin family, and to all of you."

"Father, what are you talking about?" Qin Bohong said, "What’s this about bringing trouble? We are all Qin Family, we share in both honor and disgrace. You mustn’t speak like that."
