The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 57 Oh my god, is there a hidden plot? (2 updates)
"Young lady, you're going to charge me for this? That's so heartless!"

"That's right, this aunt is already very pitiful. How much does it cost you to do a fortune telling? It's so hard for this aunt to earn money."

"If you ask me, they should offer free consultations!"

……

Not far away, some stall owners who had also been morally blackmailed felt a sense of indignation when they saw Yun Ran surrounded by a large crowd.

Although these people have limited abilities, they are not all scammers; they earn their money through hard work.

Why should we feel sorry for someone just because we see them in a pitiful state? Give them free services! Not cheating them out of their money is already the greatest kindness they can show!
But they dared not speak out, because they still needed to eat and couldn't afford to ruin their own livelihoods.

Just when they thought that Yunran would be too embarrassed to give it away for free with so many people watching, Yunran took the money from the woman's hand.

This scene immediately stung some people who like to stand up for the weak, and they felt that they had been looked down upon.

However, in front of everyone, they had no way to take advantage of the chaos and rush over to teach Yun Ran a lesson.

They could only secretly call the police, and some people even took out their phones to film the scene, uploaded the video, and called on the public to condemn this behavior.

Yun Jingyang frowned slightly as he watched Yun Ran accept the money. Yun Ran was clearly a smart person.

How could I be so confused now? Faced with the outrage of so many people, I should at least put on an act.

Besides, she doesn't need the 2000 yuan, so why would she leave herself a handle to use against her?

Yunran had already sat back down and gestured for the woman to sit down as well.

He then placed a tortoise shell containing several copper coins in front of the woman: "You shake it!"

The woman had consulted fortune tellers before, but this was the first time she had used the method in this way.

She shook it vigorously a few times, releasing several copper coins, and then returned the tortoise shell to Yunran with both hands.

Those watching around couldn't understand what the divination meant at all, not even his "colleagues".

The woman's sorrowful voice rang out: "Master, where is my daughter?"

However, Yunran did not answer the woman's question immediately. Instead, she asked calmly, "Have you ever regretted it?"

The woman was taken aback, thinking that Yunran was asking her if she regretted losing her daughter.

Tears streamed down her face: "I regret it, I regret it so much. If only I hadn't let her study here, I wouldn't have lost my daughter."

"No, that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking, back then you stole someone else's child, making them experience the pain of separation and death. Now, you're experiencing the same pain. Do you regret it?"

Those who were already dissatisfied with Yun Ran, upon hearing this, felt as if a drop of water had fallen into a pot of boiling oil.

"What does this mean? Kidnapping? Oh my god, is there a hidden plot?"

"Goodness, there have been some outrageous news stories online before, deliberately provoking the anger of us ordinary people, but then there's a big reversal in the end, leaving us caught in the middle."

I never imagined this kind of thing would happen in real life. If it's true, isn't that taking advantage of our kindness?

"I knew it! This old lady came up and immediately knelt down, trying to morally blackmail me. What kind of good person could she be? I only didn't say anything because everyone else was so into it."

...The woman was startled by Yunran's words, but perhaps because she had been pretending for so long, she began to believe that she was really telling the truth.

She looked at Yun Ran with a heartbroken expression: "Master, how can you wrong me like this? I just want to find my daughter. If you can't find her, I won't ask you to refund my money."

If those around her who had sympathized with the woman just moments before had completely believed her, now, hearing these words, they suddenly felt a sense of unease.

How could someone who is almost driven mad by the search for their daughter and is eager to seize every opportunity say something so suggestive?
Yun Jingyang narrowed his eyes slightly. He had previously believed that this woman was incredibly pitiful, although he didn't have much sympathy for her and hadn't taken any action.

But he also subconsciously felt that Yun Ran shouldn't have accepted her money; this was one of the few acts of pity he had shown her.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly pitiful woman was such a good actress that she even fooled him, which made Yun Jingyang feel a surge of anger.

"Your children's palace indicates that you only have one son, but that child died at birth. So, tell me, where did your daughter come from?"

The woman looked at Yun Ran in shock. She hadn't expected to meet a true master today who could even see through her past.

"Master, you... I have a daughter, please don't frame me."

The eyes of the masses are discerning; given the woman's current state, what could they not understand?

The sympathy that had been exploited turned into anger at that moment.

But just as some radicals couldn't rush forward to beat Yun Ran earlier, they also had no way to rush over and vent their anger on this woman.

"Damn, who is this person? They're so good at pretending, they've fooled so much of our sympathy."

"No, I must report this. Why should this kind of human trafficker receive any protection from the community?"

"It serves her right that her in-laws don't want her; they must have seen through her wickedness long ago!"

……

When exploited sympathy turns into a sword of anger, many people, enraged and ashamed, utter the most vicious words imaginable.

"I'm not going to calculate it anymore! Give me my money back!"

The woman could no longer sit still and wanted to escape, but Yunran had accepted her money earlier precisely to punish her for taking advantage of others without any conscience.

"When I do fortune telling, I never give up halfway."

Although the woman was reluctant to part with the money, she was even more worried that the public wrath she had incurred would consume her. She hurriedly tried to stand up and run away, but then she was horrified to find that she could not move her body.

"The people who shared a ward with you back then had their babies switched by you, and they suffered immense grief from losing their children because of your selfishness."

However, justice prevails. The child you stole did inherit her parents' genes and was exceptionally intelligent, successfully attending high school in Haicheng.

You probably didn't expect that the child, who didn't resemble her parents much, looked remarkably like her great-aunt when she was young.

If that child hadn't had some conscience, felt sorry for you, her adoptive mother, and begged her biological parents to spare you, do you think you would still be living a carefree life now?

You were kicked out of your home not because you insisted on looking for your child, but because your in-laws found out that you had replaced their grandson with a granddaughter who was not related to you by blood.

Didn't you already have a suspicion in your heart, knowing that things had been exposed? Everything you're doing now is nothing but self-deception!
