704 Fortune-telling (1)

Shen Miao suddenly stopped in her tracks and frowned at the Daoist priest. “What did you say?”

The Daoist priest turned his head away smugly and started to hum a tune.

Jingzhe said, “Miss, don’t take what he said to heart. Maybe he’s just a swindler spouting nonsense.”

Shen Miao looked ahead. Luo Xueyan and Luo Tan had already entered, and behind her, a few guards stopped there to wait for her to continue. She thought for a moment and sat down on the small wooden stool in front of the Daoist. “I want fortune-telling.”

“My fortune-telling is very expensive.”

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Miao took out a golden peanut from her bag. The pouch that Mrs. Su gave her previously was filled with golden peanuts.

Jingzhe and Gu Yu were anxious. Even the most expensive fortune teller on the street only cost a few taels of silver. Why would she take out a golden peanut? However, since Shen Miao had already decided, there was no way to change her mind. The two maids were anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

Shen Miao said, “If your fortune-telling is accurate, this golden peanut will be yours. If it’s not, I’ll get the government to arrest you in the name of swindling people.”

The Daoist priest put the golden peanut into his pocket with a smile and took out a bamboo tube from behind him. He shook it and handed it to Shen Miao with a smile. “Miss, please draw two slips.”

“Why two?” Gu Yu couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t one usually enough? Could it be…” She was enlightened.” One for safety, and one for marriage?”

Ever since Luo Xueyan began to worry about Shen Miao’s marriage, she also reminded Shen Miao’s maids. Jingzhe and Gu Yu both knew that the most important thing for Shen Miao to come to the Putuo temple was to throw red strings on the fate tree. Now that they saw that the Daoist priest wanted Shen Miao to draw two slips, they naturally thought of this.

The Daoist priest shook his head. “For her lot.”

He looked at Shen Miao and stroked his beard. He smiled mysteriously and said, “Miss has a complicated lot and one is enough.”

Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. Seeing that the Daoist priest was confident, she took the bamboo tube and shook it. Then two slips fell to the ground.

The Daoist priest picked up the slips and looked at them. Jingzhe and Gu Yu were both a little nervous. The Daoist priest shook his head and said, “A caged phoenix facing a great calamity.” He said, “It’s the worst of ill fortune.”

As soon as he said that, Jingzhe and Gu Yu’s expressions changed. Jingzhe shouted angrily, “You fake Daoist priest full of nonsense. I think you’re a scammer. I’m going to report you to the officials!”

“Hey, hey, hey.” The Daoist priest said, “What’s the hurry? There’s still one slip left.”

Shen Miao’s heart began racing.

The Phoenix cage was the palace where she was trapped in her previous life. She struggled but to no avail. Even Wanyu and Fu Ming did not survive.
