Chapter 192 - 191: Fortune-telling to Find Someone
Qin Liuxi firmly believed that the girl from the Zhao Family would come back. Indeed, the next morning, just after she had completed a Grand Circulation, the little Taoist knocked on her door, saying that the Zhao family’s people had arrived at the temple and were waiting in the rear hall.
Qin Liuxi got herself together and briskly made her way to the rear hall. As she approached the hall, she could hear Qing Yuan gently comforting the believers.
"Everyone, please don’t panic. My little Taoist sister is on her way. Oh, she has arrived," Qing Yuan pointed towards the hall door.
The Zhao family’s people turned around, and indeed, it was Qin Liuxi who had arrived.
The elderly nanny, supporting Zao Qingman, was overwhelmingly excited and said, "Madam, it was that little Taoist who divined the life borrowing for the young lady."
Mrs. Zhao, in a silver brocade robe and two jade hairpins in her hair, looked sickly, her face pallid and frail. It was unclear whether it was from a night without sleep or due to her illness. When she saw Qin Liuxi, her eyes flashed with an excited and sharp glimmer.
When Zhao Qingman almost got stabbed by her son’s toy gun yesterday, followed by a false alarm and seeing the self-igniting peace charm, she felt as though everything was an illusion. Only when she came to her senses did she realize she was sweating coldly with fear.
Later, it was the wet nurse who informed her in detail about Qin Liuxi saying her daughter’s life was borrowed. Mrs. Zhao felt weak, both shocked and enraged.
She was shocked because someone had borrowed her daughter’s life without her noticing, as she had thought it was just a streak of bad luck, oblivious to the influence of malicious magic. She was angry, wondering if someone really did borrow a life, who could it be?
Could it be, as Qin Liuxi said, someone close to them?
Mrs. Zhao could not sleep all night, and before dawn, she had someone ready the carriage and took Zhao Qingman out of the city to personally seek help at the Daoist Temple.
