Chapter 203: Chapter 203: I Will Protect You with All I’ve Got!_1

Ma Hongying stopped paying attention to him and stared at Shen Tianxing with eager eyes, hoping that Shen Tianxing, like she had done with predicting the eldest’s marital destiny, could smoothly calculate a favorable outcome for her. If that happened, she would be overjoyed.

Shen Tianxing spread her hands helplessly towards her third cousin Shen Tianbo, who kept making gestures at her, indicating that there was nothing she could do.

Then, she rifled through her mind for her second cousin Shen Tianzhi’s birth date and time, and began to calculate using her fingers.

The birthdates of all the members of the Shen Family, below Shen the Elder, were etched in Shen Tianxing’s memory.

She did this as a precautionary measure, just in case.

Should the day come when any of her family members found themselves in trouble, with their birthdates at hand, she could immediately discern their fortunes and whereabouts.

When Shen Tianxing calculated her second cousin Shen Tianzhi’s marital fate, her heart instantly tightened.

A solitary, forlorn destiny!

Her second cousin Shen Tianzhi, was destined for a solitary, forlorn life!

No! Impossible! His fate was not like this before!

Moreover, with her, Shen Tianxing, looking after the Shen Family, each member’s fortune was exceedingly fortunate—Shen Tianzhi could not possibly have such a bleak destiny!

Where had things gone wrong?

Initially, Shen Tianxing thought she must have made a mistake in her calculations, so she recalculated carefully, only to arrive at the same distressing result.

Shen Tianxing’s expression instantly darkened.

She then recalculated other aspects of her second cousin Shen Tianzhi’s life.

As she had expected, the more she delved into Shen Tianzhi’s fortune, the weaker it appeared to be.

By the end of the calculation, his hexagram shockingly foretold—great misfortune!

This omen of great misfortune implied not only that Shen Tianzhi’s luck was problematic, but that in the end, he might not even escape with his life!

Seeing this hexagram that sent chills down her spine, Shen Tianxing became even more convinced that something must have happened to her second cousin Shen Tianzhi.

Everyone, who had been chatting and laughing a moment ago, quieted down when they noticed Shen Tianxing’s increasingly serious demeanor, not daring to speak any further.

After Shen Tianxing had finished her calculations, Ma Hongying, holding back fear and anxiety, tentatively asked, "Xiaoxing, there won’t be any issue with your second brother’s romantic destiny, right?"

Today was New Year’s Eve, and Shen Tianxing didn’t want this matter to spoil everyone’s mood.

She was determined to find a way to resolve her second brother’s predicament!

Whoever dared to threaten her family’s life, she would threaten theirs!

As Shen Tianxing assured herself, a smile returned to her face. She spoke gently to Ma Hongying and everyone else, "Second brother is fine. His path to love is just a bit rough, and he might get married a little later. Don’t worry."

Relieved by Shen Tianxing’s words, Ma Hongying finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, that is good, that’s very good. I got quite the scare when I saw how serious you looked, Xiaoxing. I thought something had happened to your second brother."

Shen Tianxing smiled reassuringly at her, "It’s all right. Nothing to worry about, Aunt. Don’t scare yourself; if something were to happen to you because of it, I’d feel terribly guilty."

The concerned look on Shen Tianxing’s face had been seen by everyone, and they all thought that if she actually calculated something bad, it might ruin the New Year.

Now, even Ma Hongying stopped pestering Shen Tianxing to calculate the marital prospects of the third youngest, Shen Tianbo.

Shen Tianbo felt like he had escaped a calamity and took a long, deep breath.

But when he looked at Shen Tianxing, a trace of deep thought flashed through the tranquil depths of his eyes.

With the incident of his second cousin Shen Tianzhi in mind, Shen Tianxing also thought to herself that she should calculate the fortunes of the family for this year when she got back.

If there were any mishaps, she could take precautions in time, to avoid a situation like that of her second cousin’s; if Ma Hongying hadn’t insisted on calculating their fortunes today, she wouldn’t have noticed the anomaly with her second cousin.

This was also a warning of danger.

It also made her realize that, no matter when, there would always be some reckless people.

Just like now, there were still people who dared to target the Shen family, truly courting death!

The atmosphere in the household quickly warmed up again thanks to Shen Tianxing’s deliberate humor.

This year, the Shen family had added a new member, Fu Chaoying.

It was Fu Chaoying’s first time spending the New Year with the Shen family, and she felt that the lively atmosphere of this large family was incomparable to that of the New Year celebrations in the Fu family.

She really liked the harmonious atmosphere of the Shen family, where family members were affectionate, caring, and united.

The Shen family members also took good care of this new member, actively and conscientiously including her in conversations, which allowed her to integrate into their midst very quickly.

Shen Tianrui also took great care of his new bride, feeling that life with a wife was truly flavorful.

No wonder his married colleagues always liked to tease them single guys, saying they didn’t know the benefits of having a woman, and that once they were married, they would understand what they meant.

Now that he was married, he indeed understood what they were talking about.

A good wife, obedient children, a warm bed—this was the happy life most men dreamt of!

After eating the lively New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone sat in the living room, ready to watch the Spring Festival Gala while cracking sunflower seeds and chatting.

Third cousin Shen Tianbo quietly pulled Shen Tianxing aside and asked her in a low voice, "Xiaoxing, when you were doing the fortune-telling just now, did you see something bad about the second brother?"

Shen Tianxing gave him a sideways glance and denied directly, "No, didn’t I tell you? The second brother will just marry a bit later, there’s nothing wrong. When the time comes, I’ll make a Peach Blossom Talisman for him, to hasten his marriage, so you all can rest easy, okay?"

Shen Tianbo dropped his usual frivolous demeanor and looked at Shen Tianxing seriously, "Xiaoxing, I know there must be something wrong with the second brother, don’t hide it from me."

Shen Tianxing sighed softly and said just as earnestly, "Third brother, I assure you, there definitely isn’t anything wrong with the second brother, okay?"

Shen Tianbo still didn’t believe it, "Really?"

Shen Tianxing nodded very affirmatively, "Really!"

Seeing Shen Tianxing with a look that said she would rather die than reveal anything, Shen Tianbo was helpless, "Alright! If you don’t want to tell, I won’t force you, but Xiaoxing, remember, whatever happens to our old Shen family isn’t just your concern alone, it’s everyone’s. Each one of us can contribute and should do so! The burden of the old Shen family shouldn’t be yours to carry alone! Do you understand what I mean?"

Listening to his words, Shen Tianxing felt warm inside.

She nodded vigorously, "Third brother, I understand. I know that every one of you cherishes and loves me, and I love all of you too. I don’t want any of you to come to harm! You can give your all to protect me; I can also give my everything to protect you."
