The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 289 - Chapter 289 Chapter 289 Carrying a Blood Debt

Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Carrying a Blood Debt Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Carrying a Blood Debt It took a good while before the elder lady snapped back to reality. Although she still felt fear coursing through her veins, she couldn’t help but confront Zhong Nianyao with a sharp tone, “Girl, everyone around here says you are a ‘little god,’ that’s why I came to you for fortune-telling. I never expected you to be a fraud, God Stick, and to slander my son here, instigating my daughter-in-law to divorce him.”

“I’m telling you, if you don’t give me an explanation today, I’ll make sure you can’t stay in this place any longer.”

In contrast to the elder lady’s agitation, Zhong Nianyao seemed much calmer as she simply asked, “Has your son been checked at the hospital?”

At this question, both the elder lady and Qiu Yan were stunned.

“What nonsense are you spouting?” The elder lady recovered and retorted immediately, “Having children is a woman’s business, what does it have to do with my son? My son doesn’t have any problems; she’s the one with issues.”

The elder lady pointed the finger at Qiu Yan once again.

But unlike before, Qiu Yan no longer chose to bite her tongue and stay silent; she spoke up, “I’ve been to the hospital for an examination, and the doctor said I don’t have any issues. However, my husband has never been checked.”

Many times before, she had tried to persuade her husband to go to the hospital for a check-up with her, but he never paid any attention. He always used the yearly company health check to insist that he didn’t have any issues.

Eventually, after mentioning it many times, her husband grew impatient and would sarcastically accuse her of being unable to bear children and wanting to shift the blame. After that, she dared not bring it up again.

“My son absolutely doesn’t have any problems,” the elder lady insisted.

Zhong Nianyao looked at the elder lady and then spoke, “Your son’s forehead is low and narrow, his philtrum is flat and full, his children’s palace is sunken, and his ears are as thin as paper. He has kidney deficiency and blood loss, and his vital essence is insufficient–he simply has no fate for children. Moreover–”

“You and your husband must be carrying a blood debt, which has also cursed your descendants. You will be cut off from future generations.”

After hearing this, Qiu Yan looked at her mother-in-law in shock, disbelief filling her eyes. She had a vague idea about what a blood debt implied–bearing the guilt for someone’s death. What this young Master seemed to be hinting at was that her in-laws had directly or indirectly caused someone’s death.

“Nonsense,” the elder lady’s face flushed red with anger and although she tried to hide her guilt under a sharp facade, it was evident.

“You’re nothing but a charlatan seeking fame, and none of what you’ve said is accurate.”

Having said this, she grabbed her daughter-in-law, intending to leave.

Their hurried behavior seemed like guilt to the onlookers.

“Wait a second.”

Unlike her usual compliance, Qiu Yan shook off the elder lady’s hand, “Mother, at the start, it was you who wanted me to have my fortune told. Since we are here, I want to get to the bottom of this.”

“Are you rebelling now, is that it? I’m telling you, if you don’t leave with me right now, then I’ll have my son–”

“Divorce me, right?” Qiu Yan cut off her mother-in-law’s words, “Fine! Then have your son divorce me now! Honestly, I don’t want to continue anyway.”

She used to think that not having children was her fault, which was why she was so compliant. But now, according to this young Master, the problem seemed to be with her husband. All her past concessions now seemed bitterly ironic in this light.

Hearing her mother-in-law threaten divorce once more, she truly felt fed up. If things continued this way, she would indeed be looking at a divorce.

And she was actually filled with yearning for the second path the young Master had mentioned.

The elder lady hadn’t expected her usually timid daughter-in-law to talk back to her now–could it be because she believed her son to be the problem after hearing the young girl’s words, so now she had grown bolder?

She turned her anger towards Zhong Nianyao, “You God Stick, you dare to spout such nonsense here. I’ll report you to the police for engaging in feudal superstition.”

“Go ahead then!” Zhong Nianyao spread her hands, her face showing pure indifference.

However, the surrounding crowd couldn’t contain themselves and started lashing out at the elder lady.

“Elder lady, let’s be reasonable, shall we? It was you who asked this ‘little god’ for help, and now you’re threatening to report her? Do you have no shame?”

“Is it because what the ‘little god’ said was accurate that you’re now lashing out in embarrassed rage?”

“I’ve seen shameless people before but I’ve never seen anyone with skin as thick as a chopping board like you.”

Whether it was the vendors nearby or those who came upon hearing of Zhong Nianyao’s abilities, they all felt a natural reverence for her. Many had personally witnessed Zhong Nianyao’s skills, so they were particularly disdainful towards the elder lady’s angry outburst.

The elder lady was unashamed; even in the face of the crowd’s accusations, her expression remained unchanged. When she looked at Zhong Nianyao, her eyes still blazed with malice, “Hmph, in my eyes, what ‘little god’? She’s just a fraud who uses her looks to deceive people.”

“Mother!” Qiu Yan’s expression darkened, “You’re so agitated now–are you feeling guilty?”

“I’m not,” the elder lady reflexively retorted before turning to Zhong Nianyao, “Are you satisfied now? You want to ruin my family and me, don’t you? You’re young and not bad-looking, but how can you be so cruel?”

“My heart may be dark, but I can’t compare to you and your husband!” Zhong Nianyao gave the elder lady a cold look, “You killed your own daughter to scam someone out of their money. With such a malicious heart, I truly can’t match you.”

During this exchange, Zhong Nianyao’s gaze settled on the elder lady’s shoulder, “How do you feel spending the blood money from selling out your own daughter? Your daughter has been watching you all along!”

Looking into Zhong Nianyao’s eyes, the elder lady couldn’t help but shiver, suddenly feeling her shoulder weighed down. Still, she defiantly denied, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Indeed, I had a daughter, but she died in a car accident when she was very young.”

“Don’t try to use my deceased daughter to make your case. I tell you, I’ve led an upright life, and I have nothing to fear. And don’t try to change the subject–you’re the one slandering my son, and I have yet to settle that with you!”

“Whether it’s slander, send your son to the hospital to get checked, and then you’ll know.” Zhong Nianyao said nonchalantly, “But even that would be futile. It can’t be cured. This is the calamity you’ve brought upon yourself; your son must bear the consequences. Besides, your son must have used that blood money as well, hasn’t he?”
