Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Over Two Months Pregnant
He Hui’s eyes widened with shock. Her original family, which she had tried desperately to keep hidden in front of everyone, was actually exposed by Jiang Li with just one glance!
Could she really be that amazing?!
Although quite annoyed, she had no choice but to nod her head hastily in acknowledgnt given the crowd around them.
Mrs. Li was even more surprised, clapping her hands and exclaiming, “Oh my, Jiang Li, you are so incredible, to think you could tell so much from just reading palms. Mrs. Jiang is so lucky to have a daughter like you!”
Then, she turned to Lin Manru, “Look at you, both your son and daughter are so accomplished, and you even opened your own studio. You really are blessed. Let be the first to congratulate you here.”
In just a few minutes, Mrs. Li’s attitude had completely transford from what it had been at first, and the surrounding ladies began to shower Lin Manru with complints as well.
Jiang Li took all of this in, a faint hint of irony hidden in her gaze.
As everyone was eagerly involved in the conversation, she suddenly spoke up—
“However, I must first congratulate Mrs. Li on behalf of my mother.”
“Congratulate ? For what?” Mrs. Li asked, puzzled.
“Congratulations, Mrs. Li, on your soon-to-arrive grandson.”
“Ah? I’m going to have a grandson? What do you an?!”
Jiang Li took He Hui’s hand, smiling, “Not only do I have so knowledge of Mystical Skill, but I also have a slight understanding of traditional dicine. Just now, when I felt Lady He’s pulse, it clearly showed a joyful pulse. Lady He must have been pregnant for more than two months.”
“Ah? Really?!” Mrs. Li stood up, sowhat excitedly.
He Hui had been married to her son for two or three years without any signs of pregnancy. Mrs. Li had been worried if there was so issue with her health, but now it seed her worries were unnecessary.
She could finally have a grandson!
However, He Hui was instantly thrown into panic.
“What? I’m pregnant? How could that be?”
“Oh, how could it not be possible?” Mrs. Li hurried up and took her hand, “Haven’t you always had irregular periods? Didn’t you tell that you haven’t had it for a month or two? I didn’t pay it much mind back then, but now it makes sense that it’s because you are pregnant.”
“Ah, is that really true?” He Hui’s face turned pale, “How could I have had no idea?”
She had always suffered from irregular periods, and it was true that it hadn’t co for two months, but such delays had occurred before. Besides, she hadn’t experienced any discomfort recently, so she hadn’t been concerned about it.
How could she be pregnant?
“Child, I always told you to pay more attention to yourself, but you never listened. After this show is over, Mom will take you to the hospital for a proper checkup. This is a big deal and cannot be taken lightly.”
Upon hearing the news, the surrounding wealthy won also began to congratulate Mrs. Li.
“Oh, Mrs. Li is truly fortunate. Her husband earns so well, her son is obedient, her daughter-in-law is beautiful, and now she will soon have a grandson.”
“It really is the lucky ones who have it all. Maybe I should also ask Miss Jiang for a fortune-telling?”
“Congratulations, Mrs. Li, you’ve been thinking about it for years, and now you finally get your wish.”
“….”
Having heard these voices, Mrs. Li’s lips were beaming with such joy that she could hardly close her mouth.
“Thank you, everyone, thank you so much. Once the prenatal test results co out, I’ll treat you all to a al at Fuchun Building. Let’s all share the joy!”
“Okay, Mrs. Li, you’re too generous.”
In stark contrast to Mrs. Li, He Hui forced a smile, one that looked incredibly strained, and her brows even hid a trace of faint worry.
Then, she turned a cold gaze toward Jiang Li, “You’re not just making stuff up to fool people, are you? How could I possibly be pregnant?”
Jiang Li’s face still wore an easy and indifferent smile. “Lady He, we practitioners of the Mysticism Technique never lie. You can simply go to the hospital and get checked to tell if it’s true. If there’s even half a word of falsehood in my words, I am willing to bear all the consequences.”
“Fine, you said it, and I’ll make you regret it later!” He Hui said as she clenched her fists.
“Why would you joke about such a thing so carelessly?” Mrs. Li quickly patted her daughter-in-law, “Miss Jiang looks so respectable and open, how could she possibly make up a joke just to amuse ?”
“But Mom—”
“That’s right, Mrs. Li is correct,” Jiang Li said with a smile, “However, I still need to warn Mrs. Li and your daughter-in-law, Lady He, to be cautious with this child.”
“What’s wrong with the child?” Mrs. Li imdiately beca anxious.
Jiang Li explained, “What Mrs. Li may not know is that my master is a descendant of the Taisu Pulse thod, which can determine the fortune and misfortune of n, recognize the fate of those in trouble or in luck, and even glimpse into the destiny of unborn babies. I am not very skilled, but I know a thing or two. When I felt Lady He’s pulse just now, it appeared that the child might be more unlucky than fortunate.”
Mrs. Li turned pale with fear.
“What do you an by that? Is there sothing wrong with the way the child was conceived?”
“No,” Jiang Li shook her head. “It’s that the child’s horoscope clashes with that of his father. The child was conceived on the sixth day of the sixth month, which in the Xuan Sect is considered the birthday of Judge Cui—a day to rid evil and punish ghosts, and is auspicious;”
“The problem is that the child’s biological father was born on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, which, as everyone knows, is the Ghost Festival. When a small ghost and a judge clash, one of them must face disaster. For the child to be born safely and healthy, it’s essential that Lady He stays away from this man.”
Mrs. Li was more and more perplexed and even laughed, “That can’t be right, Miss Jiang. What you said before made so sense, but this… this doesn’t seem right at all. How could my son possibly be born on the fifteenth day of the seventh month? He was born in October.”
“Oh,” Jiang Li feigned surprise, “Impossible, my divinations have never been wrong, and there’s so confidence in calculating a relative’s birth date based on another person’s life trajectory and date of birth.”
Mrs. Li’s expression changed slightly, “Your words are strange. Could it be that I rember my own son’s birthday wrong?”
“That is indeed strange,” pondered Jiang Li. “It’s clear that the child’s biological father was born on the Ghost Festival.”
As she spoke, she listed the birth dates of several people close to Mrs. Li, and each one matched up perfectly.
Now even Mrs. Li was surprised.
“How could this be? Everyone else’s is correct, so why is there a mistake with only my son’s?”
Those around were also thrown into confusion. For a mont, they couldn’t distinguish whether Jiang Li’s skills were genuine or fake until the beautiful lady who had earlier spoken up for Jiang Li added another comnt—
“Mrs. Li, never mind about whether Miss Jiang is right or wrong for now; whether your daughter-in-law is carrying your son’s flesh and blood in her belly is still uncertain.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li’s face imdiately changed, and she turned to glare angrily at the speaker.
“Tang Jinyu, what do you an?!”
