How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

"Are you going to invite me to Prince Jing's mansion? You should know that Prince Jing and I don't have a very good relationship."

Sun Yuyi shook his head and said calmly:

"No, it's to my personal residence, which is nearby. Can you come with me?"

"Then why should I go with you?"

Xu Chengling couldn't help but ask her back.

If her attitude had been a little better before, Xu Chengling would still be happy to go if invited by a beautiful woman.

Although Sun Yuyi has a birthmark on her face, apart from the birthmark, she is indeed a beauty.

Sun Yuyi couldn't help biting her lower lip, pulling his hand and begging:

"Mr. Xu, I have something I want you to see. Can you come with me?"

Seeing her pitiful appearance and thinking that she must have been discriminated against by many people because of this birthmark, Xu Chengling's heart softened and he agreed to his request.

He followed Sun Yuyi and came to a mansion with a plaque on it that read "Sun Mansion".

Xu Chengling was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Sun Yuyi actually had a rather large mansion in the capital.

But if you look closely, you can see that this mansion is quite old, and there are no servants inside. The fallen leaves on the ground are just piled up and no one has ever swept them.

"you alone?"

Xu Chengling couldn't help but ask her.

"Ah."

Sun Yuyi nodded slightly, and then said:

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Master Xu, but I have cleaned my place thoroughly."

After saying that, she took Xu Chengling to her residence, which was also a small courtyard, but much smaller than Xu Chengling's house.

Arriving at the small courtyard, Sun Yuyi turned around and asked him:

"Mr. Xu, do you believe in prophecies?"

"Do not believe."

Xu Chengling's answer was also very straightforward. He had never been superstitious about such things.

In his view, the so-called prophecy is nothing more than a probabilistic event.

Simply put, as long as I predict enough events, there will always be a probability that the event will occur successfully, and then it will be called the result of the prediction.

Before that, Sun Yuyi had also talked to him about fate and other mysterious things, just like a swindler.

Sun Yuyi seemed to have expected that he would not believe it, and did not care, but continued to ask him:

"If I say I can see what will happen in the future, Mr. Xu, do you believe me?"

"I only believe in seeing."

Xu Chengling replied calmly. He didn't say whether he believed it or not. He only believed what he saw.

"Not unless you can show me the evidence."

Sun Yuyi shook his head and said helplessly:

"I'm sorry, Master Xu, I can't let you see the evidence directly. Once the secret is revealed, I will pay a huge price for it."

"I understand. I understand everything. The secret cannot be revealed. I have seen this routine more than ten years ago."

Xu Chengling could not help but shrug his shoulders. Which charlatan would not use the excuse that the secret cannot be revealed? Anyway, if he made a mistake, he could use the excuse that the secret cannot be revealed.

The more she said this, the more Xu Chengling felt that she was a charlatan.

Even if she guessed his true identity by accident, it is possible that she already knew his identity in advance.

Seeing that Xu Chengling didn't believe it, Sun Yuyi couldn't help but sigh. She did have some secrets and couldn't reveal more of what she knew to Xu Chengling.

The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. If she reveals it, the price may be her life.

"Mr. Xu, how about we make a bet? If I win, you have to believe that I have the ability to predict the future. How about that?"

Sun Yuyi took the initiative to propose a bet with him.

"Okay, what do you want to bet on?"

Xu Chengling naturally didn't believe this, so he agreed without hesitation.

He must expose the other party's identity as a liar, let her face the facts and stay away from banned superstitions.

Sun Yuyi raised her head and looked at a tree in the yard. A small bird was perched on the branch of the tree, so she pointed at the bird and said:

"Then let's guess when this little bird will leave."

Sun Yuyi smiled slightly and said confidently:

"I'll go first. I guess it'll be the tenth second in five minutes, no more, no less."

Chapter 207 Tong Xin is missing

As soon as Sun Yuyi finished speaking, a light breeze blew, and her black hair seemed to have a few more silver threads.

Xu Chengling raised his head and looked at the branches above, and there was indeed a bird perched on it.

But how can people know what a bird is thinking? If it wants to leave, it leaves; if it wants to stay, it stays.

So, Xu Chengling thought for a while and said:

"I guess it'll fly away in a minute."

Sun Yuyi smiled slightly, looked at the bird resting on the branch, and said lightly:

"Then let's wait and see."

She seemed to be sure of winning, and even guessed the time to the second. Could it be that she could understand the bird's thoughts?

Xu Chengling shook his head. This was even more impossible. You are not a bird, so how can you know what a bird is thinking?

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the minute Xu Chengling had guessed. The bird on the branch showed no sign of leaving.

Sun Yuyi’s guess might not be correct, but he was definitely wrong.

But at this moment, Xu Chengling made a move.

He bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at the bird on the branch.

As a result, the bird was frightened by the stone and flew away.

Sun Yuyi looked at the scene in front of her, her pretty face turned pale, and she stood there in a daze as if she had lost her soul.

She miscalculated again. Why were the results she calculated for him always wrong?

Sun Yuyi began to doubt herself. Why was this happening? Could it be that this person was her destined nemesis?

After a long time, Xu Chengling's voice slowly sounded in her ears.

"Miss Sun, it seems like I won."

Looking at Sun Yuyi's shocked face, Xu Chengling couldn't help but shrugged. Although he used some rogue methods, she didn't say that he couldn't use it, right?

Anyway, judging from the results, it is certain that he guessed correctly.

"I lost."

Sun Yuyi sighed helplessly and frankly admitted that he had lost.

No matter what means Xu Chengling used, the result was that he won and she lost.

"Since Master Xu has won, I will fulfill one of your requests. Please tell me."

Sun Yuyi raised her beautiful eyes and said to Xu Chengling in front of her.

"A request? Let me think about it."

Xu Chengling frowned and thought for a while. To be honest, he was not interested in a woman like Sun Yuyi who claimed to be noble.

Maybe she really has some abilities, but she is so proud of her abilities that she may easily suffer a great loss in the future.

At this time, Xu Chengling came up with a good idea.

He looked up at the woman in white in front of him and said to her:

"Then take off your veil and let me see what you really look like."

Sun Yuyi was somewhat surprised by Xu Chengling's request and could not help but stand there in a daze.

The reason why she wore a veil was that she didn't want to show her true face to others. After all, the birthmark on her face was very ugly.

Seeing that Sun Yuyi was reluctant to take off her veil, Xu Chengling could not help but smile coldly and said;

"Miss Sun, are you not going to keep your promise?"

"No, since that is your request, I will... take it off and show it to you."

Sun Yuyi hurriedly shook her head, and after some hesitation, she finally decided to take off her veil.

All I could see under her veil was a beautiful, sickly face with sickly pale skin. The red birthmark on the right side of her cheek seemed so out of place with this beautiful appearance.

If she didn't have the birthmark on her face, she would have been a morbid beauty.

To be honest, Xu Chengling didn't like morbid beauty or skinny figures. He preferred his wife's perfectly plump figure, or Tongxin's tall and slender figure.

"Actually, I think your face is pretty, but it's too thin. Prince Jing doesn't want to give you food, so you can come to the Xiangguo Mansion, and I guarantee you'll have enough food."

Xu Chengling couldn't help but shrugged and said to Sun Yuyi indifferently.

In his opinion, the birthmark on his face was nothing, it would look the same when the lights were turned off.

"If I didn't have this birthmark, would Master Xu be interested in me?"

Sun Yuyi raised a slender hand to cover the birthmark on the right side of her face, leaving only half of her left face exposed.

If you only look at the left half of her face, Sun Yuyi is indeed stunningly beautiful, giving people a sense of fragile beauty.

In response, Xu Chengling simply spread his hands and said to the woman in white in front of him:

"Miss Sun, whether you have this birthmark or not, it won't change my opinion of you. You are indeed very beautiful, but unfortunately you are not my type."

"Really? That's a shame. I was planning to give Master Xu a surprise."

Sun Yuyi shook her head and sighed, then put on her veil again.

"If it's alright, I'll leave first."

Xu Chengling waved at her, turned around and left the Sun Mansion.

Looking at Xu Chengling's departing figure, Sun Yuyi couldn't help but put her slender hand on her right cheek.

Then, something incredible happened.

The red birthmark on her right cheek gradually disappeared, replaced by a flawless face.

Sun Yuyi touched her beautiful face and murmured:

"Mr. Xu, if you saw my face, would you still say that?"

After saying that, she turned around, and the birthmark on her right cheek reappeared.

On the other side, after spending some time in Sun Mansion, Xu Chengling could not help but quicken his pace and head towards the direction of Xiangguo Mansion.

Because of his internal strength, Xu Chengling's steps were much lighter than before.

After a while, he returned to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"It's the master, the master is finally back!"

When the servant at the door saw Xu Chengling, he hurried over to greet him.

Before returning, Xu Chengling wrote a letter to the Prime Minister's Mansion, stating that he would be back soon.

So when he came back, all the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion gathered around to welcome the master's safe return.

After saying hello to the servants, Xu Chengling walked towards his own courtyard.

Along the way, Xu Chengling always had a strange feeling, but he couldn't put it into words.

Normally at this time, Tongxin would be the first person to welcome him back.
