Survive, the rules of rebirth for the villain witch

Fortune telling by touching bones?

The two maids looked at Shen Zhaojun hesitantly.

Shen Zhaojun nodded slightly, and the two maids put their hands on Youhuang's hands.

Youhuang held the two men's right hands and rubbed them openly. There were thick calluses on the knuckles of both men from the weapons. It seemed that he had to continue hiding his strength.

After hanging out with the old nun for a few years, I didn't learn anything else, but I did learn a little bit about observing people's words and expressions.

If he didn't want to create a mute persona, he could have supported himself by setting up a stall to tell fortunes, so why would he go to Tianji Pavilion to make low-quality straw sandals?

First look at the maid on the right. She has a pleasant appearance but a simple and honest demeanor and a sweet smile. You can tell at a glance that she lives in a poor but happy family.

You Huang let go of her hand and spoke in an emotionless voice: "You were born in April. Your parents were illiterate and gave you a random name, called..."

"Please give me a name, young lady."

The maid on the right was obviously panicked and interrupted Youhuang's words, fearing that she would reveal her real name.

You Huang said with some regret: "Although that name is a bit vulgar, it matches your fate and can ensure you a safe and smooth life. Do you still insist on changing your name?"

"I don't believe in ghosts and gods, please give me a new name, young lady."

The maid on the right decisively refused. She should not have refused the gift from her parents, but she really did not deserve such a flower.

You Huang glanced at Liu Shuang and Jiang Lu and said, "This flower is often planted in courtyards. Its blooming and falling are like snow. From now on, I will call you Ting Xue."

"Thank you Miss Tingxue for the name."

As if afraid that Youhuang would change his mind, the maid on the right quickly accepted her new name.

Shen Zhaojun nodded slightly. Although she didn't know what kind of flower would bloom and fall like white snow, the name "Tingxue" was indeed good.

Youhuang turned his head and looked at the maid on the left. This girl was quite pretty, but she was not born into a wealthy family and was destined to be in trouble.

After carefully examining the other person's face, he said, "Your life is very hard. Your parents favored sons over daughters and were very harsh on you. Now you have finally gotten your reward after all the hardship. Remember that not all family affection is worth cherishing."

The maid looked at Youhuang in shock. She didn't expect that the girl knew her life story so thoroughly just by touching her hand.

Thinking of the torture her parents had inflicted on her, the maid bit her lip unconsciously. You Huang saw it and continued, "Deep in the two poles there is black ice, which has not melted for thousands of years and is so hard that it is difficult to cut with a knife or an axe. I hope that when you see them again, your heart will be as hard as black ice. From now on, I will call you Black Ice. What do you think?"

"Thank you for the name, young lady. Xuanbing will keep your teachings in mind." The maid on the left bowed gratefully.

"Is everything the girl said right?"

When Nanny Chen saw the two maids' reactions, she asked on behalf of Shen Zhaojun.

The two looked at each other and nodded vigorously, proving that what Youhuang said was exactly the same as their life stories.

He was also considerate and took their reputation into consideration by not telling them the entire contents of the calculation, otherwise they would not have the courage to live in this world.

Being able to get so much information from just one hand, Shen Zhaojun had to re-examine her daughter. She naturally didn't believe in fortune-telling by touching bones, which only showed that her daughter had extraordinary insight.

Shen Zhaojun pondered another question:

The daughter believes that not all family ties are worth cherishing. Is she reminding Xuan Bing or expressing her true thoughts?

Looking at her daughter's indifferent expression, Shen Zhaojun smiled and said, "Huang'er's behavior makes mother very curious about your life in the past ten years."

"Didn't Madam Hou find out everything before coming to take me back to the mansion in person?"

If Shen Zhaojun had not found out about her past ten years and felt that she was still useful, he would never have made such a big fuss and personally brought her back home with great fanfare.

Shen Zhaojun was not impressed by her daughter's discovery of her thoughts again. "Mother wants to hear you talk about it yourself. The information you get is from others after all. It is not as accurate and detailed as what you say yourself."

"Nothing special. I was thrown into the slums and fell ill due to the cold. An old Taoist nun who passed by saved me."

You Huang casually talked about the past events: "At that time, I didn't want to go back to the Marquis' Mansion, so I pretended to be dumb and had amnesia, and stayed with the old Taoist nun for a few years, but..."

"Just what?"

Seeing that her daughter hesitated to speak, Shen Zhaojun immediately asked.

You Huang sighed softly and said, "One winter day when I was seven years old, the old nun was picked up by a carriage and never came back. Maybe she went on a journey."

Shen Zhaojun did know from Captain Lin that the old nun was taking care of her daughter, but she deliberately asked, "The old nun took good care of Huang'er, so why didn't she take Huang'er as her apprentice? Is it because she has figured out Huang'er's identity?"

You Huang shook her head and said, "The old nun said: Having a status means having worries, which is not conducive to her survival in the world."

"It sounds cruel but there is some truth to it." Shen Zhaojun suddenly understood why her daughter was so cold-hearted. It turned out that she had inherited the old Taoist nun's way of dealing with the world.

"Madam, the people below are almost here." Nanny Chen reminded quietly, "You have been gone for ten years. There are many things that need your personal attention today. You should go back and prepare."

"You just keep pushing me. Nothing could be more important than my having dinner with my daughter."

Shen Zhaojun reluctantly stood up and told the two maids, "Serve the young lady well. Go get whatever she needs or what she needs. If there is nothing in the mansion, ask the purchaser to go out and buy it. But... don't let her eat anything messy."

"I obey my orders!"

They both spoke in unison, and then there was a pop sound.

Youhuang broke a laying hen into pieces and peeled the shell calmly. This body was in too poor condition and needed to be well nourished.

Shen Zhaojun smiled and shook her head, then left with a bunch of maids and old women. She also left Nanny Chen behind to watch Youhuang eat. Her daughter looked in very bad condition.

After breakfast, Youhuang wanted to go out.

Nanny Chen took out a porcelain bottle and said, "This is the frostbite ointment specially made by Medicine King Valley. Apply it before you go out, young lady."

Youhuang did not refuse. Although frostbite was not fatal, the pain and itching were indeed unpleasant. After applying some medicine, he walked out of the room with the hand warmer and stood on the terrace outside in a daze.

Below the terrace is a large flower garden. The green tiles of the wall in the distance are covered with a layer of white snow. The sunlight falls on the body and it feels warm, unlike the slums where the sun always shines at noon and the time is very short.

When I came in yesterday, I saw three big words "Hanying Garden" carved with a sword on a rock near the door. I knew that this was the courtyard where Shen Zhaojun lived.

In her previous life, she was obedient and flattering in every way, and she was not even able to take a step forward until she was forced into the bridal sedan. It was somewhat ironic that she could move in directly now.

When I come back, I will live a different life.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps broke the tranquility of the early morning. A group of well-dressed women walked in and stood outside the main hall in an orderly manner.

"It's the housekeepers from various parts of the mansion who are here to answer Madam's questions."

As if worried that Youhuang didn't know the reason why these people came in, Xuanbing kindly told him.

Youhuang hummed and walked down the terrace, all the way to a plum tree, looking up and sniffing the fragrance that was as cold as ice and snow.

It’s better to be alive!
