Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!
Chapter 336: He’s Just a Charlatan!

Chapter 336: Chapter 336: He’s Just a Charlatan!

Lady He kept mocking with relentless sarcasm.

Seeing Jiang Li’s face made her angry. Just two days ago, her husband had seen this trending topic and had excitedly asked her if she knew the Miss Jiang from the Jiang Family, praising her from head to toe, implying she was inferior.

Unexpectedly, she ran into her today.

She wouldn’t let her have an easy time no matter what!

And Lady He’s words made Jiang Li feel nauseous. What era was it, that a person’s worth still had to be proved by a man?

Back in Daqi, the women in her family knew how to be self-reliant, let alone now.

Lin Manru was infuriated by these remarks too. Mocking her was one thing, but mocking her daughter was another.

However, just as she was about to lose her temper, Jiang Li patted her hand, signaling her not to act rashly.

She then masked the disgust in her eyes and looked at the two women with a calm and composed smile.

"You’re right to say so, but I’m not as fortunate as Mrs. Li, blessed with a husband and prosperous children. I see Mrs. Li has a full yintang and a radiant marriage palace, surely indicative of a blissful and happy household."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li was surprised, "You’re so young and yet you know how to read faces?"

Jiang Li smiled with lowered eyes, "I only know a little."

"Miss Jiang is being modest," said a young woman who had been silent until then. "I’ve seen news about her online. Miss Jiang’s fortune-telling skills are acknowledged by an entire village. That’s not just a little knowledge; she’s practically a Demi Immortal."

Many wealthy women in the Beijing Circle took an interest in the Mystical Skill, and Mrs. Li was no exception.

Hearing this and seeing that Jiang Li indeed cheered her up, Mrs. Li became interested in sitting down.

"Then, can you predict some other things for me?"

Seeing Mrs. Li taking the bait, Jiang Li continued to lead her on gently, "For detailed predictions, I would need your Four Pillars of Destiny."

"I naturally understand," Mrs. Li quickly shared her Four Pillars of Destiny with Jiang Li.

Seeing her mother-in-law getting close to another woman made Lady He immediately unhappy.

"Mom, why are you doing this? She could just be a charlatan trying to deceive you."

"You child, what do you know?" Mrs. Li scolded her. "In the Mystical Skill, age does not matter, only skill does. Some kids can even make predictions. If you don’t understand, just sit aside and don’t disturb me."

After finishing her scolding, she looked at Jiang Li with a smile back on her face, "My girl, don’t listen to her; continue, I’m listening."

Jiang Li pondered for a moment.

"Mrs. Li, in your Four Pillars of Destiny, the Yin Star is active, and the official star is favorable. This configuration can greatly enhance your husband’s and children’s fortunes. Since you married your husband, his business should have flourished and your son’s career should also be smooth, indicating potential official fortune. It looks like he has hardly faced any setbacks from childhood."

Mrs. Li’s smile deepened, "Exactly, exactly, you are so right. My husband’s business always faced hurdles before, whether it was a bad market or rivals causing trouble, but since marrying me, everything has been smooth sailing. He even says I bring him luck."

"My son is also very competitive, having been admitted to a prestigious university and later graduate school. Now he’s working at the City Government."

"Yes, indeed, Mrs. Li, your fate is very fortunate, destined for a life of enjoyment. However, in your middle to late years, you should be cautious. Focus on managing your nuclear family, avoid too much socializing to prevent attracting envy due to your high profile. Even if one’s destiny is favorable, having too many malicious people around can still bring misfortune."

These words struck a chord with Mrs. Li.

Since her husband’s business had been thriving, more and more people had grown envious of their family, like the ladies today, most of whom had come to curry favor with her in hopes that she would connect them with others.

He also greatly enjoyed other people’s compliments and attentiveness.

But now, this young girl was saying that there were too many malicious people around her, which could potentially draw unnecessary disasters.

This did make some sense, after all, human hearts are unpredictable, and who knows if someone might be jealous enough to play dirty tricks behind their backs!

Her son was now working in the city government, and he definitely could not afford to be affected.

Thinking this, Mrs. Li quickly nodded, "Girl, you’re absolutely right, let’s do this, pick any dress you like from today’s show, and I’ll buy it for you, don’t be shy with me. I know fortune-tellers also need their fees, so consider this as payment for the reading."

Hearing this, He Hui’s face turned even uglier.

She had to cajole her mother-in-law for weeks to agree to bring her here to choose gowns.

Yet this little girl had managed to charm her mother-in-law in just a few words!

And she was buying her dresses?

You should know, each of Huaxiu’s designs costs a fortune, easily hitting a million!

Why should their family money go to an outsider?!

No, she must think of a way to mess with Jiang Li!

Her eyes rolling, He Hui plastered on a smile and sat down on the other side of Jiang Li.

"Ah, Jiang Li, I didn’t expect you to have this skill. Why don’t you read my fortune too? I can give you my Four Pillars of Destiny."

"Sure," Jiang Li agreed immediately, "But no need for the Four Pillars, just stretch out your hand."

He Hui’s face stiffened, and she awkwardly said, "Isn’t the fortune-telling supposed to require the Four Pillars?"

"The Four Pillars is just one of the methods. The mystical skills of the Xuan Sect explore a person’s fate and fortune from various aspects of their physical being. I sensed that Lady He isn’t very interested or knowledgeable about these matters, so I only need to look at your palm."

Mrs. Li chipped in from the side, "If Jiang Li says so, just stretch out your hand and let her have a look, what harm could it do?"

Reluctantly, He Hui stretched out her hand.

Originally, she had planned to casually make up a Four Pillars to mislead Jiang Li and make her embarrass herself, but she didn’t even want her Four Pillars!

Fine, no Four Pillars then. She didn’t believe Jiang Li could actually discern anything just by looking at her hand!

Thinking thus, He Hui laid her palm in front of her.

Jiang Li’s fingertips slowly traced the lines in her palm, occasionally reaching towards her wrist.

The process was exceptionally long, so long that He Hui grew impatient.

"What are you even touching? Can you actually see anything? It’s not a scam, is it?"

Jiang Li, ignoring her, continued on her own, "Your personal fortune is quite average, but your marriage line is excellent, marked by a mole, indicating that your spouse is a person with substantial financial and social status, capable of enabling you to ascend the social ladder."

"Your early life was rather unremarkable. Born into a low-income family, you have a sister and a brother, neither of whom has done as well as you. Your parents’ health isn’t great either. Before turning twenty, you were burdened with caring for your family and siblings. However, at the age of nineteen, you met your husband and tied the knot with him, and since then your life has improved immensely, hasn’t it, Lady He?"
