Chapter 157

Yan Ce couldn't help but stopped, hissed, and said: "No need, I don't care about fate, thank you."

After finishing speaking, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly remembered something and muttered to himself, "That's right, fortune-telling can make people rich."

Thinking of this, he had an ingenious idea in his mind and began to plant seeds, waiting to take root and germinate.

Yongchangbo Mansion.

"An Guogong, you are too polite, just come and sit, why do you bring such a generous gift?" Yongchang Bo Tan Jingyao said to Zheng Fengcheng who was seated.

Zheng Fengcheng dismissively said: "This little gift is a generous gift for you, but it's just a drop in the bucket for me." As he said, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Tan Jingyao said with a smile on his face: "We are all small businesses, the inheritance left by our ancestors, and you, Mr. Anguo, have the ability."

Zheng Fengcheng raised his chin proudly, and said triumphantly: "Of course, it is also inevitable. In fact, your family Zhenzhe can also be as wealthy as I am, with a bright future. The method is very simple. It is to marry the two families. In-laws, after these three to five years, who would know that Zhenzhe started his career with a woman?"

At this time, in front of the door of Yipin Restaurant, Feng Yanchen said to everyone: "The god tortoise is in charge of the world, and he will respond to every request. All the people in the neighborhood, thank you for your support over the years. I, Boss Feng, decided today to give gifts to the neighbors. Anyone who comes to the restaurant to help All guests can make a wish in the wishing pool for free, which is very effective. The restaurant does not charge a penny, so everyone make a lot of wishes. Eat more, take care of you. Thank you, feel free, and everyone is free.”

"Zhenzhe, congratulations." Two gorgeously dressed businessmen walked in, and said to Yan Ce who was seated.

Yan Ce waved his folding fan and said, "Congratulations to the boss, not to me."

One of the businessmen said with a smile: "Of course, Boss Feng wants to congratulate you, but I want to congratulate you even more. That's right, don't pretend to be foolish. Hasn't An Guogong's betrothal gift been sent to your home? We have all seen it." Ah, you still pretend to be garlic."

Another person said: "Yes, yes, marriage is such an important matter, there is no need to be so low-key. Although the second son of Tan has his eyes on Zheng Yirong, the good daughter of Duke An, haha."

After finishing speaking, the two businessmen happily left, saying: "Let's go. Let's go drink. In a few days, we will go to Yongchangbo's mansion for a wedding banquet!"

Yan Ce was so angry that he closed the folding fan, furious.

Feng Yanchen raised his thumb and praised: "Zhenzhe, you are really good. You really have a business mind. In the future, you will have a father-in-law like Anguo Gong, and you will be able to cover the sky with one hand in the future. What kind of brother-sister relationship do you have? So you want to be a quick-witted son-in-law Ah. Come on, let's toast my son-in-law a glass of wine together."

"Come on, let's toast the son-in-law of the east bed with a glass of wine."

Yan Ce couldn't bear it anymore, left in anger, and hurried back to Yongchang Bo's mansion.When I came to the main hall, I saw the two big boxes of betrothal gifts, and I was so anxious that I kept stomping my feet.

The butler, Amber, hurried over and said, "Young master, young master, this is sent by the government of Anguo."

"Crackling."

There was a sudden crackling sound, and several torches were thrown into the room with the smell of kerosene.

The rising tongue of flame greedily licked the gauze curtain, and instantly blazed up, stretching out its claws to climb and spread wantonly.

Thick smoke billowed and filled the entire room, choking people out of breath.

Xue Mi woke up from the dream, and groped for the exit in the dark, but the fire was so strong that her eyes hurt and she almost couldn't open them.

After finally finding the door, before she could open it, a big hand roughly dragged her back.

A man's face appeared in the firelight, sneering nonstop.

"Prince!" Xue Mi exclaimed.

The man was wearing a golden python robe and was drunk. He held her tightly in his arms, and his smile was worse than crying: "Aifei, Gu always loves you the most. Don't blame Gu for being cruel. If you want to blame, blame that damned girl!" Cui Yunhao, if it wasn't for him, how could Gu end up in such a situation?

Concubine Ai, Gu really misses you, why don't you go to Huangquan Road together with Gu, and Gu will be even more kind to you in the underworld."

The man whispered in his ear and said a lot, but Xue Mi couldn't hear the words clearly, and he didn't have the heart to listen at all.

Thick smoke began to pour over, Xue Mi desperately broke free from the man's shackles, but to no avail.

The scalding temperature dragged Xue Mi into the dark abyss, her struggling hand finally fell down, and her consciousness was gradually swallowed up.

Her cheeks were hot, as if someone had slapped her hard.

Xue Mi felt the pain, and couldn't help covering her face with her hands. She woke up in a trance, and when she opened her eyes, the extremely strong sunlight pierced her pupils like needlepoints.

what happened?

Am I saved?
Xue Mi struggled to get up, her bones seemed to be falling apart.

As soon as I lowered my head, I saw two small hands, thin and thin, with mud and dirt under the nails, and I don't know how long it hasn't been washed.

whose hand is this?
Xue Mi looked left and right, and it took her a while to be sure that this hand was her own.

Could it be that I am alive?
Xue Mi jumped up suddenly, and a scene that was both familiar and unfamiliar came into view.

The thatched roof, the potter's wheel erected on the stone well, the half wooden door that is crumbling in the wind, and the small yard full of stubbles of weeds.

This is clearly her childhood home!
Lingtai County, Chu Family Village.

Xue Mi slid down from the haystack and rushed towards the house on her two short legs.

There were slight footsteps in the room, as if someone was walking, Xue Mi pricked up her ears and listened with her breath held.

Soon, the sound of footsteps approached.

A pair of tattered straw sandals appeared in front of Xue Mi, she slowly raised her eyes to look up, and shouted in surprise: "Brother?"

The young man only cast her a glance, then hurriedly avoided his sight, and said falteringly: "Xiaoying, brother, go out for a while, Ma. I'll be right back."

As soon as he finished speaking, he passed Xue Mi and ran out quickly.

Xue Mi froze on the spot, and when she regained her senses and chased after her, her brother was no longer in sight.

Brother ran away again, took away the last remaining food in the family, left her, and fled alone.

A trace of bitterness appeared in Xue Mi's heart, tears kept rolling in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and went back to the room.

Sitting on the hard kang, looking around at the simple furnishings in the house, she finally came to her senses.

It turned out that she was reborn.

Back to eight years ago - she had just turned ten years old.

This year, her father died, her mother remarried, and there was a famine everywhere in her hometown. Her only family member—brother Xue Qingsong also left her and ran away, leaving her alone.

The flat belly sang empty city tricks, Xue Mi was extremely hungry, and searched around inside and outside, but found nothing.

Xue Qingsong packed up all the food he could find and took it away.

Xue Mi had no choice but to go to the kitchen clutching her stomach, scooped up half a ladle of water from the bucket, and gulped it down.

After drinking water, her stomach didn't feel so uncomfortable, but her heart began to feel uncomfortable again.

God is really blind.
