I Can Help You Assess Your Family's Fortune and Misfortune

Mother Chen looked at Chen Ankang angrily and said, "Ankang, what is the reason for this?"

Chen Ankang was too lazy to say more. How could these people know how formidable Zhou Wanwan was?

Zhou Wanwan is the future crown princess; these people might not even be able to become her servants in the future.

He was determined to become Zhou Wanwan's favorite.

The Chen Family family was utterly disappointed in Chen Ankang, but Chen Ankang didn't care at all.

Zhou Wanwan ate happily, watching the jokes as she ate, and the food tasted especially delicious.

She looked at Chen Ankang and said, "Standing while watching a play is tiring! Sit down and eat while you watch."

Chen Ankang shook his head and said, "I wouldn't dare."

Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow and said, "I said sit down, so sit down. Don't be coy."

Chen Ankang then dared to sit down, Zhou Wanwan sipped her milk tea and watched them argue indifferently.

Father Chen's face turned ashen with anger. He looked at Chen Ankang and said, "Chen Ankang, I advise you to come with me now, or the Chen Family will kick you out of the house."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:

"Oh dear! The Chen Family isn't a good place anyway, so it's better not to go back."

I heard the Chen Family is so poor they can't even afford to eat. Is that true?

Father Chen's face changed. "Chen Ankang, are you trying to get yourself killed? You're always spilling the beans about everything at home!"

A man surnamed Zheng standing nearby burst into laughter:

"So the Chen Family has really fallen to this state? That's hilarious."

Lord Chen, your son has really made something of himself, actually telling a stranger about family matters.

Lord Wang, standing to the side, curled his lip and said sarcastically, "In the end, it's all because you, Brother Chen, failed to raise your son properly. You've toiled your whole life, only to raise such a good-for-nothing!"

Lord Yuan followed with a cold laugh and sarcasm:

"This child is now disloyal, unfilial, and unjust; he disobeys his elders and has no sense of humanity or morality whatsoever. He is utterly despicable!"

Lord Tang's words were utterly scathing and merciless:

"They disregard their own bloodline and relatives, and instead wholeheartedly rely on outsiders, serving them obsequiously every day."

They've become nothing more than subservient lackeys to others, utterly disgracing the reputation the Chen Family has built up over generations!

Lord Xiao said:

"You can't hold your head up in front of others, and you'll suffer endless gossip behind their backs. In the future, when the villagers talk about this matter, they will all laugh at your Chen Family."

Your Chen Family has been utterly ruined by this rebellious son!

These people love to kill someone by destroying their spirit; Lord Chen was so angry that his face turned pale.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Lord Wang and said:

"Lord Wang, please stop making fun of others. How dare you say that others can't teach their children well?"

You have three sons: one is a gambler who has squandered the family fortune, one is idle and irresponsible, and the other is a troublemaker who constantly causes problems.

"Your house is in constant chaos; you can't even manage your own household affairs, so what right do you have to criticize other people's children?"

Lord Wang's face flushed red instantly, and he was speechless.

Zhou Wanwan turned to look at Lord Yuan and directly exposed him:

"You have no right to talk about loyalty, filial piety, and morality; your own parents are old and frail."

You felt that the two elderly people were a burden to you, so you sent them to a remote and dilapidated temple, lying to others that it was for them to quietly cultivate themselves.

In reality, they simply refused to provide for the elderly couple, leaving them destitute and alone.

"You can't even be filial to your own parents, so how dare you criticize others for being unfilial?"

Lord Yuan was struck on a sore spot, and he hung his head, looking embarrassed, and remained silent.

She then looked at Lord Tang and spoke calmly:

"You love to laugh at others for being humble, but you yourself are the best at currying favor with the powerful."

In his earlier years, in order to curry favor with those in high positions, he would kneel down in public and do all sorts of lowly things, even sending his daughters to be his concubines.

Now they're mocking others for depending on them—what a ridiculous joke!

Lord Tang was so embarrassed that he dared not raise his head.

Zhou Wanwan then looked at Lord Xiao beside her and slowly said:

"Don't join in the gossip. When you were young, you were greedy for money, embezzled clan property, and secretly plotted against your relatives and friends."

"Your actions are far from those of a gentleman, yet you have the nerve to stand here criticizing others?"

Finally, her gaze fell on Lord Zheng, Lord Zheng flinched and frowned, asking, "What are you trying to say about me?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:

"You used to wield power and enjoy boundless prestige, but now you've been stripped of your official position and handed over your military command. All your former glory has vanished."

When he held a high position, he used his power to accept bribes in private, favoring his relatives and friends and oppressing others.

The reason we've ended up in this predicament is entirely due to the consequences of our past actions, yet we fail to reflect on our own behavior.

Instead, they spend their days idly gossiping and mocking others' difficulties; it's utterly ridiculous.

Chen Ankang's lips twitched. This Little Ancestor really dares to say anything.

Even he wouldn't dare say it so directly!

So that's the difference between the master and him.

Lord Wang frowned at Chen Ankang and said, "You, Chen Ankang, I've treated you like my own nephew since we were kids, and I never expected you to talk about me like this behind my back."

Lord Tang sneered, "Your Chen Family certainly has excellent manners."

Chen Ankang waved his hand and said, "I don't know anything about your family's affairs."

Lord Wang glared at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "Then how did you know?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "I also know many secrets about your three sons. Would you like to hear them?"

Lord Wang's expression changed, and he said, "What you're saying is all nonsense; I can't be bothered to listen to it."

Zhou Wanwan coughed and said:

"It's about your three sons, which one is good and which one is bad."

If you don't want to hear it, that's fine, I won't force you.

Lord Wang hesitated for a moment and then said, "Then tell me, and I'll see if it's true."

Zhou Wanwan said calmly:

You have a son who is very outstanding.

What you see is all an illusion; in reality...

Zhou Wanwan stopped talking.

Lord Wang looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"Go on, which son is it?"

I only have three sons. Do you think I don't know what they're like?

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said:

"Since you know everything, why are you asking me?"

This isn't fortune telling; this information is all from my own investigations, and I even paid for it.

If you want to hear it, just pay me, and I can help you predict the fortune of your home.

I can also help you think of ways to change your family's fortune.

Lord Xiao scoffed coldly, "Bah! You're not some charlatan, are you?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Lord Xiao has recently encountered some trouble, and you've been unable to eat or sleep because of it. Am I right?"

Lord Xiao said with his hands behind his back:

"I thought it was something serious! Life is full of Ruyi."

It's no surprise that you could have predicted I'd run into trouble.

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "If you don't believe me, fine. You'll see how powerful it is once your daughter gets married."

Lord Xiao's expression suddenly changed. "How exactly did you know about this?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Why don't we go inside and chat?"
