Was Zhou Wanwan Really That Miraculous?

Just then, the woman who had gone to look for her son returned.

She lifted a child, about ten years old, from the carriage.

All the ladies gathered around curiously, asking, "Who is this? You haven't really found your son, have you?"

The woman's eyes instantly welled up with tears. "Found it! Really found it! Look, it looks exactly like my husband!"

The ladies, their faces full of curiosity, exclaimed, "Hey! It really is! This child looks so thin; he must have suffered a lot!"

"Wow! You've been searching for over ten years and never found him. How did you suddenly find him? How did you find him?"

The lady pointed at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"It was her. She actually calculated the address directly. I didn't believe it at first."

But when I got there, it really was my child.

All the ladies were stunned for a moment, then one of them rushed towards Zhou Wanwan: "Wanwan, you're really amazing, I want my fortune told."

"I want my fortune told too. I'll pay you whatever price you want."

"Me too, can you figure out... how my mother died?"

"I want mine calculated too."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"Don't rush, don't rush. If you want your fortune told, start lining up and come one by one."

However, I also want to tell you that fortune telling takes a certain amount of time.

So don't worry, if you don't have time today, you can do it tomorrow, and if you don't have time tomorrow, there's always the day after, right?

But let's agree on the rules first, and have the money ready. All fortune telling will be based on my interpretation.

The ladies and young women were ecstatic.

A young woman looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, could you take a look at my case first? I'm willing to pay extra."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Then come with me first!"

The young lady followed Zhou Wanwan into the side hall, looked at her and said, "I have no other intentions. I'm already engaged. I just want to know what my fiancé is like and whether I should marry him."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the girl and said, "Six thousand taels, pay first, then write down the person's name and address."

The girl asked curiously, "Do you want his birth date and time?"

Zhou Wanwan quickly waved her hand and said:

I don't need his birth date and time; I'll get back to you soon.

As for whether or not I can marry you, that depends on you; it's not something I can decide.

The girl readily agreed, "Here's six thousand taels, please keep it safe."

The girl wrote down her fiancé's name and handed it to Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan muttered a few words to herself, and the Old Ancestor said from outside, "Understood, we'll go investigate now."

Zhou Wanwan had someone bring the girl a cup of milk tea and said, "Have your milk tea first. I need to think about this for a while. Please wait a moment."

Zhou Wanwan was exhausted after a long day. She went into the inner room, where there was a bed, which the Old Scholar Tree had brought for her.

She lay face down on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and fell asleep.

I'm so tired.

After sleeping for half an hour, she heard the Old Scholar Tree calling her, "Wanwan, the investigators are back."

Zhou Wanwan rubbed her eyes sleepily and said, "Huh? You're back? So fast? What happened?"

The Old Ancestor replied:

"Shen Wenyan is of extremely poor character. If the young lady marries him, her life will be ruined."

His family used to be officials, but now their business is ruined, their house is dilapidated, and most of their wealth is gone.

However, he still acted like a member of a prominent family, was lazy and loved to eat, and only thought about himself in everything.

He had a cousin he was in love with for many years, and she had been pregnant with his child twice.

But he was completely irresponsible, refusing to marry his cousin properly or pay for her accommodation, and simply kept making her suffer in silence.

He was shrewd; he planned to use the marriage to swindle the young woman's dowry money to support himself and his secret cousin.

After the marriage, he left all the household chores to the woman, while he used the money to support his mistress. The woman was the one who suffered all the mistreatment and hardship.

Such a selfish and callous person should never be entrusted with one's life.

He secretly used the family's remaining ancestral property to associate with playboys and indulge in lavish socializing, completely Gu Family elderly mother's basic needs.

Zhou Wanwan snorted coldly and said, "A man like that is definitely not someone I should marry."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the girl and told her the results of the investigation.

The girl was dumbfounded, and even her mother was stunned. "Wanwan, this is no joke! How can this be so different from what we found in our investigation?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "People can all pretend. Anyway, you can listen to me or you can not. That's all I have to say."

Zhou Wanwan accepted the money, and she also told them what kind of person they were.

It all depends on whether they believe it or not.

After the girl went back, she realized something was wrong and hired someone to investigate Shen Wenyan's cousin.

Shen Wenyan appeared to have no problems on the surface, but her cousin had a much bigger problem.

The girl walked into the village and saw her cousin with two children.

Those two children look exactly like Shen Wenyan, what else is there to doubt?

That very evening, the girl's family called off the engagement, and the incident caused quite a stir.

The ladies gathered together, gossiping. "Have you heard? The mother and daughter paid Zhou Wanwan to have their fortunes told yesterday, and it seems they found out that very night and immediately called off the engagement."

"They say Shen Wenyan and his cousin have two children, and their family has kept it a secret all along, but Zhou Wanwan found out anyway."

Is Zhou Wanwan really that amazing?

"Hey! It's not just amazing, it's unbelievable! You know, yesterday they found a child who had been missing for over ten years."

A long line had already formed in front of Zhou Wanwan's house. She was sound asleep when she heard the noise outside.

How many people came today?

"I didn't count either, there were just too many people, several hundred in total."

Zheng Xing'an said helplessly, "They didn't believe our young lady before, but now they do."

Zhou Wanwan woke up, stretched, and asked, "Has something happened outside?"

Zheng Xing'an said, "There's already a long queue outside, would you like to go take a look?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly, "What are you looking at? Tell those people outside that I only do three divinations a day, no more."

Zheng Xing'an said anxiously, "Why only three divinations? That's a huge loss! We can earn so much money a day!"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said:

"Things are valued for their rarity! Besides, they need to have a certain sense of mystery."

If we do fortune-telling every day, a dozen or so times a day, they'll think the money is too easy to earn and won't cherish it."

Moreover, calculating more than a dozen divinations every day is too overwhelming and too energy-consuming.

Sure enough, upon hearing that only three people were counted each day, the three people at the door beamed with joy.

"It's definitely worth queuing up so early in the morning. I wonder how accurate Zhou Wanwan's calculations are?"

"Why don't we try it today and see? I just don't know how much it will cost."
