Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 122 I believed your lies!

Du Anrao sighed deeply, looking utterly helpless against his master, forced to compromise.

Forgive and forget: Forget it, now is not the time to pursue this matter. The Five Emperor Coins are useful, but I am not sure what injured my second cousin. I just want to ask you, what should I do to save my second cousin and get rid of those dangerous things?

Calm Mind: Is that even a question? Did you forget everything I taught you over the years after you went down the mountain?

Forgive others when you can: ? ? ?

Heart as Still as Water: [Eye roll][Eye roll] You already have good karma, what are you afraid of these things for? For minor issues, just touch them; for those you can't touch off, pinch them; for those you can't pinch off, use a hammer; and for those you can't hammer off, just smash them.

"Forgive others when you can": ...Isn't that a bit too harsh?
Calm Mind: Oh dear, even physical rituals are still rituals. You need to have confidence in yourself.

Du Anrao: "..." I don't believe your nonsense!
Du Anrao, somewhat exasperated by his unreliable master, went downstairs with a headache, only to find his mother directing the servants to move gifts inside.

Du Anrao was a little puzzled: "Weren't all the birthday presents put away yesterday? What are these...?"

"An'an, you're down here. Perfect timing. I came over to see if there's anything you like. These are all for you."

"Give it to me?"

"Didn't you do a quick calculation for those uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters yesterday? These are their thank-you gifts."

"So polite?"

"Of course, fortune telling is never free. Even if you don't pay, it's only right to give a gift. Those two biggest ones over there were given by your fourth and fifth aunts, this one was given by your sister Bixiao, and this one..."

Du's mother specially brought out one of the packages, and Du Anrao looked closely and found that it was a box of tea. The box was shimmering and very luxurious.

Upon opening it, I found only a small jar of tea inside, and the jar itself was much more understated than the outer packaging.

Du Anrao didn't know much about this. Before, when he was on the mountain, he drank spring tea that his master had personally processed. It was sweet, mellow, refreshing, and had a long-lasting aftertaste.

Seeing that she had been looking at the jar for a long time with a blank expression in her eyes, Madam Du couldn't help but laugh: "This is Golden Melon Tribute Tea. Although it is a replica, it is still a rare and precious item. The Zhang family runs a tea business, so it is quite thoughtful of them to send over such a jar."

"The Zhang family?" Du Anrao raised an eyebrow. "Could it be..."

"That's right, it's the Zhang family of that young master Zhang who caused trouble last night. This box of tea is an apology gift from his parents, along with some money for divination."

"Then Fourth Sister..."

"It's also a can of tea, though it's not as good as yours, but it's still quite valuable."

No wonder when Mr. Du brought back these two tea gift boxes, he said that the Zhang family had really gone all out for their son this time.

Du Anrao became more and more puzzled as he listened: "How could such an intelligent, polite, and well-mannered couple have given birth to such a stupid husky?"

"Could it be a gene mutation?"

"..."

Du Anrao remained silent for a moment, but did not dwell on the topic, and handed the can of tea back to his mother.

"I don't know much about this. Dad seems to really like drinking tea, so let him handle it."

Du's mother laughed: "Your fourth sister said the same thing. With two extra cans of top-quality tea, your father's tail is probably wagging in the air." Du Anrao almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

[Mom, does Dad know you're talking about him like that behind his back?]

Du's mother didn't take it seriously. So what if he knew? What could he do to her?

The head of the household, who is invisible, is just that confident.

"Oh, right, Mom, I just asked my master about my second cousin. He told me about some methods for removing evil spirits. I'll go see him when he's transferred to another hospital tomorrow. Don't worry, everything will be alright."

Madam Du was taken aback: "Is that the abbot who was traveling around for the past few months?"

"Correct."

"It's alright, there's no rush. Your Five Emperors Coins are very useful. You've improved a lot. You fainted yesterday, so you shouldn't overexert yourself. You can go see him again after a few days of rest."

Du's mother was mainly worried about the price Du Anrao would have to pay for peeking into the secrets of heaven, as he had mentioned last night. Although she had accumulated merit and seemed to be in good health, she was still uneasy.

"It's alright. My second cousin has been in trouble for half a month now, and we don't know how he is doing. That string of five-emperor coins can only suppress evil spirits, not remove them. If it drags on, things might get complicated, and it could also harm my second cousin's health. It's better to deal with it as soon as possible."

Seeing that she insisted, Du's mother did not stop her anymore.

Du Anrao breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of the suggestions his master had given him, the corner of his mouth twitched again.

Although my master is usually unreliable, he shouldn't betray me in something like this, right?

Du's mother: "..." Now that you mention it, I'm even more worried!

The Jiang family was very happy to learn that Du Anrao would be coming to the hospital on the day of his transfer, especially Mrs. Jiang.

The elderly mother, who had rapidly aged within half a month, initially thought that her eldest son had lost his mind and believed such a thing when he returned home alone, bringing back a string of copper coins that he claimed could save her younger son.

Seeing that her youngest son's condition was getting worse, Madam Jiang had no other choice but to try anything, so she agreed to let her eldest son put the device on her youngest son.

Strangely enough, as soon as the five emperor coins were put on, the youngest son's pale and bluish complexion immediately improved to the naked eye.

Jiang Yunian used to wake up with shortness of breath after sleeping for less than half an hour every night.

I woke up covered in sweat and exhausted, feeling even more tired than before I went to bed.

But not sleeping wasn't an option either; if he kept going for too long, his eyelids would just give way. So for the past two weeks, Jiang Younian had been waking up and sleeping all day, and no medicine seemed to work. He was practically worn out.

After wearing the Five Emperor Coins, he had the most comfortable and complete sleep he had in half a month. When he woke up, he felt refreshed and had no aftereffects such as headaches, night sweats, or dizziness.

He even felt hungry and asked Madam Jiang for food, which made Madam Jiang so happy that she almost cried tears of joy.

After watching their son finish breakfast, the mother and son finally composed themselves and listened as Jiang Changbin and Jiang Wentao, who had called back specifically for this purpose, recounted the events that had transpired at their birthday party the previous night, as well as the backgrounds of Du Anrao and Du Anrao, and the story of Miss Li, whose name they had heard of but never met, who had secretly instigated others to cause trouble at the birthday party but had instead been humiliated.

Madam Jiang hated these scheming, manipulative women more than anything else in her life. She was furious when she heard this and slammed her hand on the table: "This is outrageous! Do they think the Du family and our Jiang family have no one to rely on? How dare they bully our children like this!"

The three Jiang family members: "..." So this is our child now?

But then I thought, it's not impossible, this precious little gem must be their child!
