Chapter 818: Chapter 818: A New Village Amid Shadows and Brightness
Wanzhi stared in shock, her eyes wide open, “What you said… is it all true?”
“Of course, it’s true.” Jiang Li nodded, “Your brother’s Four Pillars of Destiny were very weak. He might have died at the age of two due to illness, but because your mother was pregnant with you, and you brought a lucky star, he lasted another year.”
“What……”
Xuezhi was both astonished and enlightened.
She never expected that the source of her decades-long troubles was all a lie.
For a mont, she didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
Happy that she hadn’t wronged anyone.
Sad that her parents had mistreated her for so many years based on soone else’s one-sided words.
Perhaps because she was too emotional, Xuezhi’s face turned quite pale, and her eyes beca moist.
But she still forced a smile, chatting with Jiang Li.
Jiang Li pretended not to notice.
But she also understood why Xuezhi reacted so strongly.
Judging from her Four Pillars of Destiny, her early life was not happy; instead, she lived as if treading on thin ice.
Mr. and Mrs. ng were extrely biased. Though both were daughters, Xuezhi received far less attention than Wanzhi.
In the ng Family, Xuezhi was the one with the lowest status.
Moreover, it was calculated that she was born with the noble star, which ans she could have received a good education. But for so reason, her studies were disrupted that year.
It seed to be due to family influence.
However, Xuezhi’s nature wasn’t bad; her Four Pillars were also a kind and simple hexagram, very reliable.
Even mischievous Bu Fan and Bu Chen were raised so well by her.
This is also why the old man insisted on Jiang Mingchuan marrying her, knowing the family dynamics of the ng Family weren’t good.
Compared to other wealthy daughters of the sa status, Xuezhi’s character was much better.
What a pity that due to childhood experiences, she ended up extrely self-abased and timid.
If she doesn’t change, she will undoubtedly face more hardships in the future.
“Jiang Li, since you’re so good at reading fortunes…” Xuezhi spoke up again, forcing a smile, “Could you tell about my future?”
Jiang Li thought for a while.
“I can, but although destiny is often set from the beginning, sotis a person’s strength is stronger. If bad predictions affect your mindset, many things beco difficult.”
Xuezhi paused, suddenly thinking of her resentnt towards her parents for believing the words of an old master.
Jiang Li continued, “How about I draw a guidance hexagram for you, Third Sister-in-law?”
“That would be good.” Xuezhi nodded.
Jiang Li then took out a few Copper Coins she carried with her, tossed them a few tis, and a hexagram appeared.
Xuezhi only recognized the front and back, not the deeper anings, so she asked curiously:
“Is it a good hexagram or a bad one?”
Jiang Li was collecting the Copper Coins while saying, “Neither good nor bad.”
Xuezhi seed to have expected this and gave a bitter smile, “Indeed…”
The hexagram, like her stagnant life, was neither good nor bad.
Yet it’s often such circumstances that are the most trying.
“However…” Jiang Li changed her tone, “It’s also a typical hexagram of fortune arriving after misfortune, so you can consider it mildly auspicious.”
“Two heads up, two heads down, and one coin resting over these heads, is like the saying ‘Beyond the mountain, river, and no path, a dark willow brightens another village.’
Although Xuezhi didn’t have much academic knowledge, she excelled in literature when she was in school.
She had learned this poem before.
The general aning is that often when one thinks there’s no way out, the desired outco appears in another form.
Perhaps…her life also has that mont of brightness?
After Jiang Li interpreted the hexagram, Xuezhi’s mood visibly improved.
Jiang Li was also very satisfied.
Because this is precisely the significance of mysticism.
The two little kids didn’t play for long before getting sleepy.
It was hard to sleep well in the hospital, so Lin Manru took them ho early.
Jiang Li stayed for a while longer, then left, only to encounter an old acquaintance shortly after stepping out—
A large group of doctors ca bustling through the corridor, most of them middle-aged or older, with white hair but still very energetic and purposeful.
Their high standing was obvious at a glance.
In their midst, Yu Li, with his black hair and handsoness, stood out conspicuously.
He wore a white lab coat like the others, revealing straight black suit pants enveloping his long legs.
A blue dical mask covered his face, with a pair of silver-frad glasses perched above, serious and solemn.
Even with only part of his face showing, it was enough to attract starry-eyed looks from passing patients and young nurses.
Yu Li also noticed her approaching, nodding his head in greeting across the crowd.
Jiang Li politely nodded back and continued walking.
What she didn’t expect was that as she waited for the elevator, Yu Li turned back, and when he was three steps away from her, he removed his mask and smiled warmly.
“Captain Jiang, long ti no see, Happy New Year.”
Even after so long, Yu Li always enjoyed playfully calling her Captain Jiang whenever they t.
Jiang Li didn’t mind and nodded with a smile, “Dean Yu, long ti no see. Dean Yu, you seem quite well-connected. How co I bump into you at every hospital?”
Yu Li chuckled a bit awkwardly, “The dean of this hospital and my father are old friends. They had a eting today to discuss a treatnt plan and invited along too.”
As he spoke, he looked Jiang Li up and down slightly, his eyebrows knitting a bit.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you ill?”
Jiang Li shook her head, “No, one of my relatives is hospitalized here, so I ca to see her.”
“I see.”
Yu Li said, looking towards the direction of the elevator.
Jiang Li sensed he seed to want to say sothing, so she asked proactively, “What’s up, anything the matter?”
Yu Li was surprised by her perceptiveness, then realized she’s a master of mysticism, so that was probably nothing to her. He nodded, “There is indeed sothing. Are you available now?”
Jiang Li thought for a mont, “I was planning to go ho, so I’m pretty free.”
The elevator doors opened, and Yu Li stepped forward to hold them.
“Perfect, let give you a ride ho, and I’ll tell you on the way.”
“Okay.”
Yu Li’s car was parked in the basent. He very gentlemanly opened the passenger door for Jiang Li, and only got into the driver’s seat after she was settled.
The car started slowly, and once it left the hospital, Yu Li spoke again:
“Here’s the thing, our family’s ancestral hall was initially built in our old house, but in the past few years, it has suffered significant damage due to natural disasters. My grandfather thought about renovating it, and we invited a Feng Shui Master to evaluate it. The Feng Shui Master also suggested we move the ancestral hall. We proposed a few sites last year and decided on one around the New Year.”
“eting you today reminded that Captain Jiang is also well-versed in Feng Shui. So I thought of asking you to visit the new site to see if there are any areas that need improvent.”
