Chapter 215 [Lu Sisi can only be Lu Sisi]

Chapter 209 [Lu Sisi can only be Lu Sisi]

Chu Keqing's methods and connections were indeed extraordinary. After making a few phone calls in the car, about an hour later, Chen Yan got out of the car with Chu Keqing and walked into a small building in the backyard of the hospital.

A hospital employee was already standing at the entrance of the building. Upon seeing Chu Keqing arrive, he politely handed her two masks. Chu Keqing and Chen Yan took them, put them on, and followed the employee into the building. They then took the elevator down to the basement level.

"Hospitals have very strict regulations regarding the handling of stillborn infants and fetuses. If an infant dies during childbirth, the family must handle the matter strictly in accordance with funeral regulations. Hospitals generally do not intervene and are strictly prohibited from disposing of the infant as medical waste."

If it is a miscarriage during pregnancy, and the fetus is stillborn, the family's wishes are generally respected as long as there are no special diseases or infectious diseases. However, in this day and age, families generally do not choose to take the stillborn fetus away after a miscarriage, but instead entrust the hospital to handle it.

Our usual method of disposal is medical incineration.

This person was clearly from the hospital, but probably didn't know he was sent by some high-ranking official to greet her, nor did he know Chu Keqing's identity. He simply gave a very thorough introduction and then said nothing more.

Chen Yan and Chu Keqing followed this person into a room.

Then, as he wished, he "saw" the embryo that Lu Xiuting had miscarried the night before.

·
Actually, it wasn't something you could see with your own eyes—Chen Yan had no interest in adding any negative sensory experiences to his life.

The hospital also made arrangements for handling these situations—to be precise, Chen Yan saw that it was contained in a black bag.

It's like... a body bag shrunk many, many times smaller.

The room seemed very cold, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

The smell and the coldness made Chu Keqing feel uncomfortable all over!
·
Chen Yan didn't cause any trouble for anyone, nor did he suggest opening it or making any direct contact.

He stood in front of the black bag and took a serious look at it.

Three seconds later, Chen Yan nodded and glanced at Chu Keqing: "Let's go."

Chu Keqing nodded.

The people at the nearby hospital visibly breathed a sigh of relief—probably worried that Chen Yan might make some unreasonable or excessive demands.

He probably thought of Chu Keqing and Chen Yan as the family members of the dead embryo, and wanted to come and see them as a farewell.

·
After leaving the building, Chu Keqing politely saw off the person from the hospital and then quickly walked towards the parking lot with Chen Yan.

As the sunlight shone on her, Chu Keqing felt the oppressive and cold atmosphere gradually dissipate.

She glanced at Chen Yan, only to find that his face was calm and his expression was normal.

Chen Yan even stopped and glanced at Chu Keqing: "Do you need to go to the restroom to wash your hands and face?"

Chu Keqing sighed and forced a smile: "No need."

Back in the car, Chen Yan casually picked up a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and handed it to Chu Keqing.

Chu Keqing was stunned for a moment, then took it and rinsed her hands with water.

Although she didn't touch anything, she always felt as if her skin was covered by some kind of scent that made her uncomfortable.

"Go back and burn incense, then light this talisman and scatter the ashes in the bathtub while you take a bath." Chen Yan handed over a [Good Fortune and Evil Repelling Talisman], which Chu Keqing immediately took: "Then, senior, what did you see just now?"

Chen Yan glanced at Chu Keqing: "And you? What did you see?"

"That stillborn infant... its luck hasn't dissipated yet, its destiny and fate are extremely weak... it's insignificant, not even human-like, but... it seems... even though it's weak, it's still..."

"It's very neat, isn't it?" Chen Yan smiled.

Chu Keqing nodded silently with a serious expression.

In terms of destiny and fortune, Lu Sisi seems to have perfect scores in every aspect.

The second son of the Yang family, that little boy, seemed to be mediocre, scoring only 60 points in every subject.

And this dead infant, however, is... a complete failure.

Its fate was weak, even less than human, which is why it could not survive! It died halfway through its life, in its mother's womb.

Even with such a weak destiny and fortune, it is still exceptionally well-ordered!
Chu Keqing, who had also studied the cultivation of destiny and fortune, pondered for a moment and then asked, "Senior, encountering even one of these perfectly regular destinies is already a miracle, so how could... one encounter two at once? Does this kind of destiny really exist?"

Chen Yan sighed, his gaze and tone equally complex, and looked at Chu Keqing, saying, "Is it possible that this fate was... taken from someone else?"

Chu Keqing's expression changed drastically, and she looked at Chen Yan with a horrified look.

Chen Yan thought for a moment and said, "This matter ends here. You don't need to follow it any further."

However, in a few days, find an opportunity to contact Lu Xiuting, make up some story, and suggest that she should not try to get pregnant and have children again.

If she wants to get pregnant again, her life will likely be in danger!

"..." Chu Keqing gave Chen Yan a deep look: "Okay!"

Chen Yan turned his head to look at Chu Keqing, and suddenly the serious expression on his face faded. He slowly said, "Keqing."

"Hmm?" Chu Keqing trembled. Chen Yan's sudden change in address made her feel a little happy.

"Don't be curious," Chen Yan earnestly advised.

"..."

"I know that cultivators, especially those of you who have studied the art of destiny and fortune, will be intrigued by such a special destiny and will likely become curious and secretly explore and investigate this matter..."

Chen spoke gently, but then his tone suddenly changed, and he said solemnly, "Don't be curious! This matter is not something you can pry into with your current cultivation level! Remember! Remember!"

Chu Keqing sensed the seriousness and solemnity in Chen Yan's tone. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly put aside her hidden thoughts, saying earnestly, "Keqing will follow your words, senior."

Chen Yan sighed, his eyes filled with a complex emotion that Chu Keqing couldn't decipher. He leaned back in his seat, his voice tinged with weariness: "...Let's go, please take me home."

·
Throughout the journey, Chu Keqing drove, while Chen Yan remained silent, the car so quiet that the sound of the wind outside the window could be heard.

Chen Yan lowered his eyes slightly, repeatedly thinking about the clues he had sorted out.

He went to see the unborn embryo, merely to confirm a suspicion in his mind!
This guess came to him after he met Lu Sisi's younger brother, the little boy from the Yang family.

A glance at the unborn embryo confirmed his guess.

Originally, such a regular and orderly destiny was an anomaly.

The occurrence of one could barely be considered a coincidence.

Two... that can't be a coincidence!
·
Lu Xiuting cannot have any more children! If she does, she will die!
Contrary to popular misconception, lifespan is not solely determined by "luck."

In fact, many aspects of fate can influence each other.

If a certain period of luck goes straight to zero, it will also affect lifespan.

For example, fortune.

Some might argue that there are also people who are very poor but live a long life.

Because that just means "very poor", not absolutely "zero" luck!
Imagine if someone's finances were completely wiped out, leaving them with absolutely no income whatsoever...

Is it possible for them to survive?

Lu Xiuting's problem lies in... her own fortune, in various fields, with its ups and downs.

However... the children she had were all neatly and uniformly cut off from each of her destiny paths, each one an equal piece!
You get 60 points in every subject, so I'll deduct 20 points from each subject on average.

No problem. You still have points for each subject; they won't be reset to zero.

but if……

You got 80 in Chinese and 8 in Math.

I'll deduct 20 points from each subject.

Your Chinese score dropped to 60...

My math score is a complete zero!

·
Lu Xiuting's problem is that this miscarriage, while seemingly unlucky, was actually a stroke of good luck that saved her life!
Because if they have another child, what if they have another ordinary, mediocre child like the little boy from the Yang family, who gets 60 points in every subject?

It has to be tailored from Lu Xiuting's destiny and fate!
If Lu Xiuting had even one stroke of luck, she wouldn't have scored more than 60 points...

She's probably going to die!
·
As for why the child Lu Xiuting gave birth to would deduct her luck and destiny from her as a mother?
The process of a normal person conceiving and giving birth is naturally not like this! It is not about the mother's luck.

Otherwise, wouldn't that be a joke?
A mother could have lived to eighty, but if she has a child, half of her life is gone.
No such thing exists!
However, Lu Xiuting's situation is extremely special.

For some reason, the child she gave birth to... deducted Lu Xiuting's luck!

Her luck has now become very weak!

Lu Xiuting's first child was Lu Sisi!
Lu Sisi has an exceptional destiny where every aspect of her life is perfect.

However, Lu Sisi's birth did not take away Lu Xiuting's good fortune—Lu Xiuting wasn't exactly blessed with good luck either. It was as if Lu Sisi was born with a good destiny, a destiny and fortune bestowed by Heaven.

But... after Lu Sisi, the second son of the Yang family had the same fate pattern as Lu Sisi, with each element being very average.

But her destiny and fate were taken from Lu Xiuting!
The same was true for the stillborn third child!

The third child died young. If he had continued to grow up and reached adulthood, Lu Xiuting would have surely died! Because she herself wouldn't have enough life force left to take away.

Even if her lifespan isn't completely deducted, deducting any other aspect will still ruin Lu Xiuting.

As for why normal women don't have their fate affected when they have children, but Lu Xiuting's fate is different?
because……

Lu Xiuting shouldn't have had a second or third son in the Yang family!
She was able to marry Yang Jiaming by defying fate and by borrowing good fortune!
They stole the day and changed the sky!

If it weren't for that suppressed "existence", how could Lu Xiuting have married Yang Jiaming and had a child with him?

Since you weren't meant to have it, you forced it upon yourself...

Then don't blame God for settling scores.

God might be thinking: "Damn it! I didn't ask you to have a child! You had one, and now I'm supposed to bring good fortune to the child?"
Sorry, this person isn't on the books, I won't pay!
If God won't intervene, then it's up to you, the mother, to do it—because it was Lu Xiuting who defied fate and stole it!
·
Having thought this through, Chen Yan, in terms of both logic and thought process, had reached the final step.

Why is it that Lu Sisi's birth, destiny, and fortune were not taken from Lu Xiuting?

Or did he get almost perfect scores in every subject?

Where did it come from?

and so……

The sound from that jade?

That... being suppressed in the ancient tomb?
This problem, after being analyzed to the end, has become unavoidable and inescapable!
It seems that this is the only answer.

·
When Chen Yan returned home, he looked very tired and had an indescribable sense of depression.

It's that kind of weariness, a sense of helplessness and despair.

He walked into the yard of his house, not looking at the big white dog lying in the yard sunbathing, nor at Gui Geng hiding in the swimming pool.

Chen Yan walked through the villa's gate and into the living room.

Lu Sisi was in the study on the second floor. Today, she opened the wooden box again and folded paper puppets for Chen Yan.

Chen Yan pushed open the door, but didn't go in or say anything. He just stood at the doorway, leaning against the door frame, quietly watching Lu Sisi.

Lu Sisi raised her head, a sweet smile on her face, her eyes clear and innocent.

The girl stood up, walked towards Chen Yan, and threw herself into his arms.

For a fleeting moment, just as Lu Sisi's body entered his embrace, Chen Yan's body stiffened instantly.

But soon, he caught a whiff of lime-scented shampoo in Lu Sisi's hair.

Chen Yan's muscles relaxed, and he wrapped his arms around Lu Sisi's waist, letting the girl rest her chin on his chest.

"You look very tired," Lu Sisi whispered in Chen Yan's ear, her voice almost a murmur.

Chen Yan smiled and said, "Yeah, I went out to take care of some things."

"Would you like... a hot bath? I'll run the tub and you can soak in it?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to make one. By the way, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Let's eat zongzi!" Lu Sisi laughed. "I made a few more this afternoon, and they turned out quite nice this time. I've already cooked a few."

But if you want meat-filled rice dumplings, you'll have to wait until next time. I'll go buy some braised pork tomorrow, okay?

“…Okay.” Chen Yan nodded.

Then, Lu Sisi took Chen Yan's hand, dragged him downstairs, and pulled him into the kitchen.

Chen Yan watched quietly as Lu Sisi took out the cooked zongzi, peeled off the bamboo leaves one by one, and stuck chopsticks in them.

The girl moved nimbly in the kitchen, and even brought out a small dish of white sugar, placing it in front of Chen Yan.

She sat opposite Chen Yan, resting her chin on her hands, looking at him with starry eyes: "Hurry up and take a bite!"

Chen Yan's expression was gentle as he took a small bite.

The taste is pretty good; the glutinous rice is soft and sticky, the bamboo leaves have a pleasant aroma, and the jujube filling is sweet...

After eating the two zongzi, Lu Sisi cleared the table and washed the dishes at the sink.

Chen Yan didn't move, sitting there quietly watching the girl's back, his gaze complex.

·
He was certain that Lu Sisi was indeed Lu Sisi.

The Lu Sisi he knows now is his girlfriend Lu Sisi, the one who loves him with all her heart and soul, who is completely obsessed with him, and who would believe him even if he said a crow is white!

Even now, she still is!

Can……

Chen Yan now has to face a problem.

Based on the investigation, tracking, and meticulous analysis over the past few days, we have finally arrived at a conclusion—even if it is only a guess.

There may be an "existence" hidden within Lu Sisi's body.

However, this being has not yet awakened!
"You'd better not wake up! Because even if you do, I will do everything in my power to make you fall back into a deep sleep! Lu Sisi, can only be Lu Sisi!"

Chen Yan gritted his teeth.

·
When Chen Yan walked into the yard of Lin Qingquan's house next door again, he saw Lin Qingquan's granddaughter watering the flowers with a watering can.

This girl still walks the same way, DUANG, DUANG, DUANG.

However, Chen Yan only glanced at it before looking away—after all, there was nothing interesting about looking at a paper puppet.

"Sir next door?" The girl (paper puppet) looked surprised. "How did you manage to climb over the wall and get here?"

Chen Yan remained silent, because Lin Qingquan was already standing at the door of the house, and said irritably, "Because this kid has a habit of climbing over walls!"

"Hey, Chen Yan! My yard has a doorbell, it's not just for show!"

After saying that, Lin Qingquan waved his hand, and the paper puppet girl turned around, a cheerful smile on her face, humming a song as she continued watering the flowers.

It was as if they hadn't seen Chen Yan at all.

Chen Yan followed Lin Qingquan into the living room and sat down.

He glanced at the paper puppet girl watering flowers outside the window: "Actually, I've never asked you before, but she is... someone from your past, family. Surely she wasn't your ideal woman from your youth, was she?"

"Pah, what white moonlight? Men, read less of these female-oriented web novels."

Lin Qingquan waved his hand.

He took a deep look at the paper puppet girl in the courtyard outside the window: "She was my...my family, but she's gone."

Chen Yan didn't believe it!
family?

If this paper puppet girl is really a former granddaughter or some other family member of Lin Qingquan's...

As a grandfather with extraordinary abilities, it makes sense that he would create a paper puppet as a memento to express his grief!
but! !

What kind of grandfather would make a paper puppet of his granddaughter and deliberately give it the "DUANG, DUANG, DUANG" characteristic?!
Isn't that pure perversion?!
Although Lin Qingquan, that old man, has some flaws, he's not that shameless, disgusting, or perverted.

"Stop talking nonsense. What trouble are you trying to cause me by climbing over the wall today?" Lin Qingquan sighed.

"There are some things I don't understand, so I'd like to ask my senior fellow Daoist for guidance." Chen Yan chuckled.

"..." Lin Qingquan glared at him and said helplessly, "What do you want to find out now... It's always the same, coming to squeeze me dry. Let me tell you, kid, I can tell you what I know, but I can't tell you what I don't know. And you can forget about getting any information from me about what I can't tell you..."

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for Chen Yan.

Chen Yan looked into Lin Qingquan's eyes with a smile and slowly said, "How much do you know about reincarnation?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingquan's hand trembled as he held the teapot!

·
I'm taking a day off. There will be no update tomorrow because I've been called away on another business trip... so I'm taking a day off.

This is the fourth or fifth time I've taken leave since the book started; please keep track!
