Chapter 872: The Ancestral Community’s Ox is Remarkable
"When did you start telling fortunes?"
"For our family’s peace and wealth, I had to learn even if I didn’t know how."
Yu Jingting saw his father leading the family over to them and hurriedly concocted a story with Suizi.
Suizi swiftly gathered up the turtle shell and copper coins; if her mother-in-law came over, she would be exposed.
In fact, the fortune she told wasn’t from the set phrases she had memorized at all.
She simply relied on the old man not understanding and being unable to remember the arrangement of the copper coins, having memorized the lines in advance.
Among the Yi Jing’s hexagrams, there indeed was the set of phrases she used to bamboozle the old man, but they didn’t necessarily match the hexagram that the old man had cast.
Suizi, relying on memories from her past life, recalled the cause of the old man’s death.
In her past life, the old man was indeed retaliated against for stealing someone’s wife; the Fourth Master took his place afterward.
With this memory, Suizi often flipped through her mother-in-law’s fortune-telling "textbooks" when she had nothing better to do, selecting phrases that matched the old man’s experiences to memorize.
Deceiving people with these tricks was incredibly effective; the old man had indeed taken the bait.
