Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 406 Men will only slow down your sword-drawing speed
"I'm just saying what I know."

Du Anrao did not give a direct answer, but she believed that the two of them probably already knew what was going on.

As expected, after hearing her say that, the two aunts, though quite shocked, did not press the matter further.

As for whether they will try to investigate the incident of the child falling into the water after returning home, and whether they will take any measures to avenge the child after the investigation, those are all things to be discussed later.

The two were still in shock at the truth of what happened back then, and the atmosphere was momentarily tense.

Seeing this, Du Anrao coughed twice and took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, it's inconvenient to talk about things further away, as there are many variables. I'll just help this young lady calculate her fortune for this year."

"Alright, alright, let's calculate this year's fortune." The third aunt seemed to wake from a dream, took her daughter's hand and forced a smile, "Go ahead and tell us, we're all listening."

"According to your daughter's birth chart, the Ziwei star falls in her career palace this year, indicating that both her studies and career will make further progress and achieve significant development. In addition, the Lianzhen star is transformed into a negative star, the main star is in a weak position, and it is also afflicted by inauspicious stars. Both Lianzhen and Tanlang are peach blossom stars, and the combination of negative stars and inauspicious stars is very unfavorable. To be on the safe side, Miss, it would be better to worry less about your marriage this year."

Du Anrao's words were euphemistic, but what they really meant was to focus on your career and not think about dating for now; men would only slow you down!

Upon hearing this, the two aunts' hearts skipped a beat again. After exchanging a glance, they tentatively asked, "What if she falls in love?"

"Judging from her romantic fortune this year, even if she does have romantic opportunities, they will be extremely bad ones. If she insists on dating, at best she will be cheated out of money and harmed physically, and at worst... her life may be in danger?"

My third aunt's family was shocked: "Is it that serious?"

"Furthermore, Lian Zhen should be the main star of your career palace, but it has been squeezed into the position of secondary romance star. This means that the romance you encounter this year will affect your career advancement and judgment, thus affecting your career development. In short, after falling in love, your emotions are likely to override your rationality, and you will make mistakes because of your feelings. This will be a fatal blow to your career, which is about to take off."

Upon hearing this, Xi Jingyue's younger cousin's expression completely changed. What a terrible romantic entanglement that could affect her career! It's better not to pursue this relationship at all!
The third aunt and her husband thought the same way, but they were more worried about their daughter's life than her career.

Madam Xi and the others listened for a long time and keenly noticed that the attitude of the third cousin and his wife was not right.

"Why do you two look like that? Does Ningning already have a boyfriend?"

"No, no, no, Auntie, you're overthinking it. I'm still single."

"So you have someone you like?"

"nor!"

My younger cousin answered readily, but the expressions on my two older cousins' faces were somewhat subtle.

Upon seeing this, Madam Xi and the others immediately understood that the young girl probably didn't have a suitable partner, but the two elders likely had other plans.

And that is indeed the case. My third aunt's husband is a university professor who supervises several graduate students. One of his second-year graduate students is highly regarded by him.

Their daughter is about to graduate from university this year, but she still doesn't have a boyfriend. Her parents are very worried about her. Especially her third aunt, who is always worried that her daughter will not meet a good one as she gets older, and is even more afraid that her daughter will be deceived by bad men outside without her knowledge. She keeps urging her husband to introduce her to boyfriends.

After being nagged by his wife so much, the third uncle also felt that the student had been under his tutelage for so long, was diligent and eager to learn, and was a good prospect. He knew the student well and thought that it wouldn't be a bad thing if he could get along with his daughter.
The two had already discussed it and were just waiting to go back to the ancestral worship ceremony to find out their daughter's attitude towards the matter before arranging for them to meet.

Now it's all good, I don't need to worry about it anymore, it's hopeless.

However, the third uncle was now in a bad mood. According to what Du Anrao had just said, the student he was going to introduce to his daughter was a dangerous criminal who could not only cheat his daughter out of her money and feelings, but also possibly kill her!

This was completely different from the person I usually knew. Had I misjudged him, or...?

Regardless, the third uncle had begun to question the student's character and personality. Although he wouldn't immediately convict him, he had developed some reservations and wariness.

By then, the third aunt had recovered from her initial surprise and quickly composed herself. She held Du Anrao's hand and said gratefully, "Thank you for telling Uncle and Aunt this. I only went out to pay respects to our ancestors today and didn't bring much of value with me."

As she spoke, the third aunt took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and slipped it onto Du Anrao's wrist: "This is a bracelet that I bought a few days ago. I've only worn it once or twice. The jade quality isn't that great, but it's very clear and translucent. If you don't mind, I'll give this bracelet to you as a small gift."

Du Anrao was stunned and turned to look at Du Hexuan and the others for help. Before they could speak, Madam Xi stepped forward and grabbed Du Anrao's other hand.

"Since your Aunt Xi is so willing to give it to you, you should accept it. Otherwise, they might not be able to sleep tonight."

After what happened with her eldest uncle's family, Madam Xi now believed Du Anrao's words very well. Her family had a good relationship with her third aunt's family, and she had watched the children grow up since they were little.

Based on what Du Anrao had just said to their family, Madam Xi felt that the bracelet given by her third aunt was well worth it.

Since Madam Xi had said so, Du Anrao accepted the bracelet from his third aunt.

With their family taking the lead, those with guilty consciences stayed even further away, while some relatives who were on good terms with Xi Jingyue's family couldn't contain their curiosity and came closer to Du Anrao one after another.

After Du Anrao did a few calculations, she was about to run away when Xi Jingyue stopped the relatives who wanted to get closer to her, giving her time to rest.

Time always flies when you're slacking off, and before we knew it, it was past eight o'clock, only ten minutes away from the nine o'clock time that everyone had agreed to meet.

The relatives present couldn't continue chatting and started moving around, checking the things they would need for the ancestral worship ceremony.

As guests, Du Anrao and his companions didn't need to prepare anything, making them one of the few relatively carefree individuals present.

Xi Jingyue was worried that Du Anrao would be too bored while waiting, so he was about to come over and talk to her about the ancestral worship process later, and also tell her who she should follow so that she wouldn't get lost.

Before I even got close to her, I saw that someone's signature ahoge (cowlick) suddenly stood up, and my thoughts followed.

Hey there, handsome guy over there, he's got some nerve!
