“That’s right. I heard that the Zhao family is in luck this year. They are going to have another son in their family.” The crowd was abuzz with discussion. Zhao Panpan’s face darkened as she listened. Her father doted on her, but the Zhao family’s younger sister that kept on being born made Zhao Panpan unable to raise her head. If the crown prince, Dong Sheng, were to inherit the throne one day, with the Zhao family behind her, she was afraid that the position of the empress would never be hers. Her family did not have a younger brother to help her, instead, they had a dozen younger sisters who were dragging her down.
“Your family is going to have a few more younger sisters. Your father is really strong despite his old age.” The crown prince, Dong Sheng, laughed as he tapped Zhao Panpan’s nose. Zhao Panpan laughed bitterly. Yesterday, her mother sent a letter overnight. Her father was not the only one who was old but strong. Her grandfather was also very powerful!
“Zhao Ruifeng, you probably don’t have to stand at the gate in the cold wind during the court session this year. You don’t even have to fight for the Lucky Fish this time. The Lucky Fish will fight to swim toward you, afraid of falling behind. In the second round, you have to continue to work hard.” The Crown Prince, Dong Sheng, laughed heartily and shouted at Zhao Ruifeng.
Jiang Xi looked at the crown prince, Dong Sheng, from a distance. She could only see the words that seemed to be written above Dong Sheng’s head, ‘stupid people have more money’.
The second round was a competition of praise, but it was a little different. The participants would randomly pick people and then praise and bless them to their heart’s content. If someone was lucky within three days, it would be considered a win. In other words, if God let one go far, then the person who gave the blessing would win.
In fact, most of the people who participated in this round of the competition were people who knew divination. For example, the people selected by the village to snatch the lucky Fish could only participate in the first round. However, there was another meaning to this second round of the competition. There was once a rumor that if a blessed person’s blessing came true, he might be invited to Jing City to serve the country with the state preceptor. However, such a powerful person had never appeared.
Moreover, this round of the game was also proposed by the state preceptor. He did not know if the state preceptor had calculated something extraordinary. After all, there were many towns like this Happy Town. If it wasn’t for the fact that there was a very effective temple and that something had happened to Crown Prince Dong Sheng here, Happy Town would not have been noticed.
The second round of the competition began. Many people were smiling as they invited people from the crowd.
“Madam, congratulations. You’re about to get pregnant.” Someone took the hand of Jiang Da’s wife, Zheng Rong, and asked for her birth characters. Then, he said with a smile.
Zheng Rong almost cried tears of joy when she heard this. Yang Fen was also overjoyed. Regardless of whether it was true or not, she first gave the person who spoke two hundred yuan and then pulled Zheng Rong to bow.
“Young lady, I see that your eyes are full of spring, and there is a faint air of nobility between your brows. Someone in your family is about to be promoted and make a fortune,” Someone said to a little girl.
The little girl’s eyes lit up, and she jumped up instantly. “My brother went to Jing City to take the exam the day before yesterday. He’ll be back in three days.
Jiang Si stood in the most conspicuous position as if he was afraid that someone could not see him. As expected, someone took his hand and asked him for details after a while.
After a long time, the man frowned slightly and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He kept pinching his fingers as he looked at Jiang Si’s face, sometimes frowning suspiciously, and sometimes widening his eyes in confusion.
“Master, is there something wrong?” At this moment, the people of Happy Village had long given up on catching the Lucky Fish. When they saw someone holding Jiang Si’s hand, they all came over and asked curiously.
“Your fate is a little strange. You were supposed to be in a high position, but now it’s very far away as if something has changed it. Is there any big change around you? Maybe something went wrong somewhere, it’s really strange.” The man did not say much to Jiang Si. After he finished speaking, he shook his head and left with a strange expression. How could there be something that could change a person’s fate? Even the state preceptor of their country could not do it.
Little did this person know that if Jiang Xi had died during her third hanging, Jiang Si would have come up with an idea to blackmail the three fiancés. Yang Fen would then have been able to get a lot of money to build connections. With the money that Jiang Xi had risked her life for, Jiang Si would have been able to become an official without a hitch and even rise to a high position in the future. All of this had been built on the foundation of Jiang Xi’s death. However, now that Jiang Xi was alive, the fate of Jiang Si would naturally be different.
Jiang Si’s face was as dark as water and his fists were clenched tightly. He kept trying to recall where the mistake had been. If he knew, he would definitely correct the mistake!
