My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Qin Liuxi invited Song Liu to sit down again, her eyes filled with undisguised hostility, and she responded with a shallow smile.

"Life, old age, sickness, and death, poverty and wealth, from our Taoist perspective, are predestined from birth. It is visible in the natural facial features, but of course, a person’s features can change with their fate, which is why face reading always leaves room for reversal due to variables." Qin Liuxi said, "However, some things are unchangeable, like you, Lady."

"I said, Lady, your Children Palace is exhausted, which means a cut-off of offspring, that is, a face of no children to see one to the end of their days... Ah, don’t be annoyed. Since you’ve returned, you were bound to hear words that anger yet cannot be borne. Getting angry isn’t good for your health!" Qin Liuxi quickly prevented her from bursting out again.

Song Liu felt a surge of emotion that choked her, neither escaping nor settling, it was extremely uncomfortable, and she could only firmly pinch the center of her palm.

"This belongs to the Children Palace. The mystical studies tell us that from the Children Palace, the birth dates can reveal the number of one’s children. I don’t need to ask for your birth dates to know you have two sons, and one of them already died young because, from your Children Palace, the answer is already clear. Had your children been well and alive, the palace should be vibrant and full, but yours is dark and collapsed." Qin Liuxi pointed to the location of her Children Palace and said, "Since one has passed away, how can there still be another son? If so, he could only be considered an adopted son."

Song Liu became furious, "This is sheer nonsense; you have no concrete evidence."

"Evidence is something one finds for themselves, isn’t it? I naturally hope I am mistaken, and it would be good if I’m wrong." Qin Liuxi’s eyes showed sympathy.

Song Liu froze.

"Master, my brother-in-law is well-known; you can’t possibly say he switched the children, can you?" Song Ye spoke with difficulty, "He and my sister are famously loving spouses, from their youth to middle age, he had no other women. Chang’er is gone, and as a father, he grieved more than anyone. To say he deliberately switched the child, that..."

He also didn’t want to believe it.

Qin Liuxi smiled lightly, "Let’s not talk about the deceased child for now, I am curious though about how he grieved?" She saw Song Liu about to speak, raised her finger, shook it, and looked towards the Chief Maid, "You speak."

Onlookers are clear; the servants close to them can see the reality more clearly than Song Liu who’s involved.
