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

Chapter 247 Are they even human?

Upon realizing this, Ms. Qi completely broke down.

"How could this happen? This shouldn't be happening! That's my child, that should have been my child, they stole my child!"

Thinking of the two children who should have been born into their family, but were forcibly taken away and became other people's children, Ms. Qi felt as if the taut string in her mind had completely snapped. She wished she could run to her brother-in-law's house right now and make them return her children and make them pay for the blood debt for the children they had unfortunately lost!
Mr. Liu hugged his wife tightly, his eyes filled with sorrow: "The timing of my brother's change was too coincidental. Moreover, my father had mentioned that he wanted to take revenge on all of us. Bringing my brother home was the first step of his revenge, and the second step was to anger my mother to death. Shortly after that, he had a big fight with my grandparents at my mother's funeral, and then he disappeared without a trace and never appeared again."

Mr. Liu was not present when his father argued with his grandparents, and he was not clear about the specifics of their argument. He only knew that his grandparents fell ill shortly after the argument, and they passed away one after another in less than six months.

At this point, all the people who had caused his father and girlfriend to break up were no longer alive, and his father only had him left to resent.

Mr. Liu never saw him again after that, let alone suffered any retaliation. He breathed a sigh of relief and was even a little overjoyed, thinking that blood is thicker than water after all. Even if the other party hated him, even a tiger would not eat its cubs. He still had a little bit of love for him in his heart.

Looking back now, I realize how naively foolish I was. The reason my father stopped appearing and didn't take revenge on me was probably simply because he had already achieved his goal.

He didn't risk his own life, yet he could easily make himself suffer for the rest of his life!

"Of course, the most important reason is that Master Du just mentioned that the conditions for exchanging fates are extremely harsh."

As soon as Mr. Liu said this, everyone's attention in the room once again turned to Du Anrao.

"That's right. Fate can't be changed just like that. It requires two people with similar birth charts, family backgrounds, and experiences to exchange fates in order to temporarily deceive the eyes of Heaven and achieve their goal."

According to Mr. Liu, he and his brother were born around the same time, which gave his father the opportunity to take the child back and lie that they were twins. In addition, the two grew up together and were blood relatives. These factors combined gave the other party the opportunity to take advantage of them.

"Can the fates that have been switched be switched back?" Madam Qi was too lazy to care about the grudges and grievances of her husband's family. She only cared about whether her fates and her husband's fates could be switched back, and whether her destined child could return to her side.

"Okay, but your problems are not as simple as just changing your destinies."

Upon hearing Du Anrao's words, Ms. Qi and her husband's expressions changed again: "Could it be that we have some other problem? Is it a curse or...?"

Du Anrao shook his head: "If I'm not mistaken, the fate of your son, the child you unfortunately miscarried, has also been changed."

"What?" Ms. Qi's face twisted for a moment. "They're the ones too, aren't they? It wasn't enough that they stole my child, they even took away his destiny! These beasts, are they even human?"

Although Mr. Liu was also angry and heartbroken, he managed not to lose his temper: "But our child... he was never even born safely, so how could he have a destiny?"

“He was indeed not born safely, but the child was already in human form at five months old. In addition, he died unjustly, so he was already full of resentment. After that…” Du Anrao paused, his face turning somewhat grim.

Lady Qi's heart skipped a beat, instinctively sensing that her child might have suffered some other excessive harm. She asked urgently, "Others? What else did they do to my child?"

"I don't know if you've ever heard of raising a ghost child."

"Raising a ghost child?!"

Not only the couple, but everyone in the house was shocked. Ms. Qi couldn't help but tremble all over, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted. "Wife, wife!" Mr. Liu was shocked to learn this shocking truth and hadn't even had time to process this heavy news before his wife's sudden fainting.

In an instant, shouts and cries filled the private room, creating chaos once again.

The people surrounding Ms. Qi called out to her and pinched her philtrum. After a while, Ms. Qi finally woke up slowly.

Her first reaction upon waking was to grab Du Anrao's hand tightly and ask again, "You mean, they took my child to raise a ghost, is that what you mean?"

Seeing the pity on her face, Du Anrao still nodded truthfully: "Yes."

At this moment, Ms. Qi finally broke down completely: "How could they do this? How dare they! I'm going to kill them! I'm going to kill them!"

"I understand, I understand. It's my fault, it's all my fault, I'm the one who ruined our child."

Mr. Liu also deeply regretted his past actions. He hated his father's indifference and ruthlessness, hated his brother's ingratitude, and hated himself even more for being so naive and foolish at his age.

Knowing full well that his father hated him and his brother resented him, he still wishfully believed that he could resolve the grudges of the previous generation with sincerity and fill the gap between himself and his brother with true feelings and money.

In the end, he not only harmed himself, but also his dearest wife and children.

Overwhelmed by negative emotions, the couple finally couldn't hold back and broke down in tears in front of everyone.

Ms. Qiu and her son felt quite distressed upon seeing this. Blood relatives should be the people with whom they have the deepest feelings, the people they can entrust their backs to and support each other. But it was precisely these people who stabbed them in the back when they fell to their lowest point and needed them the most, pushing them into an even more bitter and hopeless abyss.

The two of them deeply understand this point and are now very able to empathize with each other.

"To do such a thing to an unborn child, these people are utterly depraved and unworthy of being human. An'an, do you have any way to help them, to help that poor child escape from suffering as soon as possible, and to make these beasts who are unworthy of being human get their just deserts?"

"There is a solution, but..."

Before Du Anrao could finish speaking, Madam Qi staggered to her side, grasped her hand tightly, and said, "Master Du, please help us, help my poor child. I will give you anything you want, even if you take my life, I will not hesitate."

Du Anrao was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "What would I do with your life? Don't worry, the art of exchanging lives is inherently against the natural order, not to mention they've done something so outrageous. I won't ignore this, but..."

"Just what?"

"But if we want to free the child from suffering, we must first find the child's true form."

"Original body?"

"...that is his remains."
