The whole family overheard her innermost thoughts and went crazy.

Chapter 46 Fortune Teller

Shen Wantang's eyes lit up, and her mood finally improved.

It was quite late when they returned to the Ji family manor. Shen Wantang suddenly felt tired, so she quickly washed up and prepared to go to bed.

Why am I so tired even though I haven't done anything?

At this moment, Ji Yushi, who was outside the door, paused in his knocking. He had originally wanted to have a proper talk with Shen Wantang about the divorce.

After spending this time together, he found that Shen Wantang had changed a lot, and that they didn't need to get a divorce.

It's not bad to continue getting along like this.

Since she's tired, let's talk about it another time!

Ji Yu returned to his room, lay on the bed and thought, shouldn't the couple rest together?

It was as if he and Shen Wantang had gotten used to living separately... No, they had never been together since they got married.

Thinking about Shen Wantang's appearance today, Ji Yu felt a little irritated for the first time, and Shen Wantang's image kept lingering in his mind.

On the other side, Shen Wantang slept soundly through the night without any dreams, waking up naturally.

When I woke up, no one was home.

The phone rang. Shen Wantang thought it was either Ji Yushi or Li Nanxi, but when she picked it up, she was surprised to see it was Yu Xingwan.

Shen Wantang's eyes lit up. Could it be... another juicy story to tell?!

"Aunt Yu!"

"Tangtang, were there any other people when you and Zhiyan went out to eat yesterday?" Yu Xingwan asked, puzzled, as Lu Zhiyan hadn't come home last night.

Normally she wouldn't think there was a problem, because she also has her own house outside.

But today the maid made a discovery: while washing the clothes, she found a receipt showing the purchase details.

That's normal, right?

but!

The clothes above are all in pairs, with opposite colors, as if it were done on purpose.

Yu Xingwan was puzzled, so she went to check the wardrobe. What she found made her feel terrible.

She didn't find any extra clothes, but she did find a group photo of Lu Zhiyan and Song Zechen.

The two of them snuggled together intimately, and even Lu Zhiyan, who rarely smiled, had a smile on his face.

At that moment, she had a bad feeling, so she hurriedly called Shen Wantang to verify it.

"Ah... well, there is one." Shen Wantang thought for a moment before answering. Anyway, it wasn't a solution for them to keep hiding it. What if Aunt Yu could accept it?

"Male or female?!" Yu Xingwan's tone rose!

Shen Wantang feigned hesitation: "It's a man. Yesterday, Lu Zhiyan said he was his good friend."

"I understand, thank you Tangtang." Yu Xingwan took a deep breath and hung up the phone, hoping it wasn't what she thought.

After the call was disconnected, Shen Wantang originally wanted to inform Lu Zhiyan, but when she found that she didn't have his number, she decided to give up.

Yu Xingwan fell into deep thought. Should she ask her son?

But how do I ask?

But if you don't ask...

I'll ask him when he gets back tonight!

[Host, you won't reap any rewards by staying home all the time! You still have a long way to go before you can unlock the in-game store. If you stay home every day, you definitely won't make any progress!]

Shen Wantang also felt that now that she had finally tasted some sweetness, she didn't want to stay at home all the time.

Let's go out for a walk! We might find something unexpected!

I quickly changed into some casual clothes and went out for a stroll.

If you want to get the latest gossip, the fastest place is the park, where those old folks know a ton of stuff!

Finding the nearest park, Shen Wantang swaggered in, glancing around. Under a large tree, a group of elderly men and women were having a heated discussion.

Shen Wantang walked over and squatted down to listen carefully. They didn't pay much attention to the extra person and continued talking.

"I heard that Old Man He's daughter got into a top university!"

[Fake.]

"Has Old Yang's grandson become an idiot? Did the fever make him stupid?"

[Fake.]

"I heard that someone in that neighborhood over there tried to commit suicide but was persuaded to leave!"

[Fake.]

"Oh dear, you have no idea that Old Zeng's dog killed someone!"

"what?!"

[Fake.]

Wait, wait! Just tell me, is there any truth in their words?!

Shen Wantang frowned. If this is all fake, how can she possibly enjoy the gossip?

"Hey, have you guys seen that? There's a fortune teller by that lake, charging two hundred for a single reading! And people actually go to him for readings."

[Some of these statements are true; this one is true.]

[A fortune teller?]

"Let's go take a look! People like this are usually charlatans, we can't trust them."

Shen Wantang went along and found a middle-aged man wearing a long robe, looking like he was a master.

"Master, please tell me what's wrong with my daughter?!" An elderly woman sat opposite the master, her face full of worry. She couldn't understand why her daughter, who had been perfectly fine until recently, had suddenly started suicidal!

"Two hundred for each string." The master pretended to stroke his not-so-long beard.

The woman quickly scanned the QR code and deposited two hundred yuan. Once the money was in her account, the master began his ritual: "Your daughter is suffering from a mental illness!"

"If this isn't resolved quickly, there could be a life-threatening situation!"

"I have a talisman here that can resolve your daughter's emotional distress, but it won't be given to you for free. You'll need to buy it for one hundred yuan. As the saying goes, every cause has its effect, and karma is a cycle!"

[Host, he is indeed a charlatan, but this old lady's daughter is genuinely suffering from a mental illness—an illness, not some mystical matter.]

What illness is it?

[depression!]

【Why?】 Shen Wantang was startled when she heard these three words. This disease was quite torturous.

[Actually, her mother treated her quite well, but her methods were wrong. From childhood to adulthood, she never made any decisions for herself; everything was arranged by her mother. Like a bird with broken wings, she was provided for but not lacking in food and clothing in a cage.]

Over time, she felt unbearably depressed, but since her mother was usually good to her, she could only choose to hurt herself.

[She is now preparing to commit suicide at home.]

【! ! ! 】

"Don't buy it!" Seeing that someone was about to die, Shen Wantang couldn't hold back any longer.

Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on her. The woman frowned and said, "Don't interfere with me saving my daughter."

"Auntie, if you don't go back to see your daughter now, you'll never see her again!" Shen Wantang wasn't threatening her; she was simply stating a fact.

The woman became even angrier upon hearing this: "Who are you! How could you be so wicked! You've cursed my daughter, you deserve to die!"

"Exactly, exactly, they just open their mouths and spout nonsense."

"Don't let her pretty face fool you, she's got a vicious heart!"

At this moment, at the Ji family manor.

Ji Yushi took some time to go home, hoping to continue the conversation he hadn't been able to have the night before, but when he got back, no one was there.

"Xiang Heng, find out where Madam is." Ji Yushi said helplessly. This little woman used to stay at home most of the time, but now she's completely letting herself go!
