Chapter 281 Will I Get My Own Happy Ending?



"Just call me, Aunt Yue... I don’t like being called The Sacred One... It’s too formal for me," Aunt Yue said.

’The Sacred One? That is just a joke! When does the Han Emperor ever treat her like one? It is just an empty title!’ Aunt Yue thought to herself.

"Au... Aunt Yue..." Xiao Fang called her softly. After she felt more comfortable, Xiao Fang asked, "Aunt Yue... how do you determine that a person is a Bei Yue?"

Aunt Yue furrowed her eyebrows and her previous smile was gone. She became more vigilance, after all, the old woman was always protective over her own people. She exchanged her whole life to protect her people, so Xiao Fang’s question made her attitude change a little bit. Her previous warmth slightly diminished.

However, Aunt Yue didn’t hear any malicious intent from the young woman’s voice. She only heard a mixture of curiosity and nervousness.

Thus, she decided to ask softly, "Why do you want to know?"

"My friend got into trouble and I think it has a connection with Bei Yue people," Xiao Fang answered hesitantly.

"How so?" Aunt Yue wanted to know the details of the matter. The trait of Bei Yue people was cautious and they were always smart at hiding deep inside the society. She didn’t believe that her people would easily make trouble --- especially near her.

Xiao Fang thought about where to start and she decided to tell the truth but before that, she decided to warn Aunt Yue, "Aunt Yue... what I will tell you is a secret. Please don’t tell anyone about it!"

"Why?" Aunt Yue asked, feeling bewildered. "If it’s a secret, why do you dare to tell me?"

"Because... you are the only person who can help my friend..." Xiao Fang answered honestly.

Aunt Yue’s curiosity was piqued. "I promise... Besides, I’m being held up as a prisoner here... who can I tell about it?" Aunt Yue laughed, trying to pass it off as a joke.

"That’s true but just now..." Xiao Fang trailed off.

Aunt Yue understood what she meant and she nodded. "I won’t tell Little Qiu too... Don’t worry!"

Getting her promise, Xiao Fang sighed in relief. "Aunt Yue... you must have known that there was a commotion in front of this forbidden place two days ago, right?"

Aunt Yue started to get excited when she heard Xiao Fang’s question. She would never think that she would find out about it this soon! "I know. Tell me! What happened to your friend?!" Aunt Yue asked in a voice full of agitation.

Xiao Fang bit her lower lips. Somehow, she felt the agitation inside Aunt Yue’s voice and she was supposed to be a clairvoyant, right? Shouldn’t she know something without being told first? Xiao Fang chose to be cautious at this point.

Xiao Fang decided to ask, "Aunt Yue... can’t you read it with your skills?"

Aunt Yue answered in a stiff voice, "Although I’m a clairvoyant, my sight always comes and goes on its own without a certain pattern. Besides, I’m not a Goddess... How am I supposed to know everything in this world?"

Xiao Fang didn’t know whether she should believe this woman or not, but what she said was making sense. She started to feel hesitant when she heard the weird tone that came from her voice. Her agitation... was it because she was worried or... something else?

She wasn’t as clever as the trio and she couldn’t make a guess in such a short time. Xiao Fang really wanted to cry... for the first time, she finally felt that she was indeed so stupid! ’What should she do? What should she do?’ She asked herself inwardly.

Aunt Yue could feel Xiao Fang’s hesitation, thus, she asked, "You are doubting me, aren’t you?" She didn’t beat around the bush.

Xiao Fang answered truthfully, "Yes, I am."

Aunt Yue laughed at her bluntness. "I will prove it to you that I’m indeed a Bei Yue --- the real Aunt Yue..." Just now, she was just too excited because she finally would be able to find her... That was why she couldn’t control her emotion. She had been waiting for too long...

"How will you prove it to me?" Xiao Fang asked carefully.

"Don’t you want me to read your fortune?" Aunt Yue asked confidently.

Xiao Fang’s eyes lit up when she heard that. It seemed like she was killing two birds with a stone this time. She thought that her chance to be read would be gone forever, it seemed like lady luck was on her side ah~!

"I want!" Xiao Fang answered excitedly.

"Good! For your future, I will need a certain sight, so I will tell you about it when I get one... I will read about your past and present first... my insight sometimes comes when I do that, but I won’t give you any guarantee," Aunt Yue explained how her insight worked to Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang nodded in agreement. After all, she couldn’t prove whether Aunt Yue predicted her future correctly or not until she experienced it herself. It was different if she could predict her past and present state correctly! If she was able to do it correctly, it meant Aunt Yue was indeed the real deal ah~!

Aunt Yue merely needed to touch Xiao Fang’s right hand and she closed both of her eyes. Suddenly, Xiao Fang was able to feel a sudden heat on her right hand, making her flinch. However, Aunt Yue stopped her from moving.

"Relax... Otherwise, I won’t be able to read anything," Aunt Yue said in a stern voice.

Xiao Fang’s hand slightly trembled before it became steady. She would never think that the reading process was quite... magical. She wasn’t sacred but feeling a bit shocked by the sudden heat. After a few moments, Aunt Yue opened her eyes and sighed.

She lightly patted Xiao Fang’s hand and said softly, "I don’t know whether I should say that you are lucky or poor..."

Xiao Fang was dumbfounded by what Aunt Yue said, but when she heard Aunt Yue’s explanation... she understood what she meant. What she said about her past and present hit her right on the spot. She was living happily until she found out the truth about her real family. It seemed like Aunt Yue pitied her, thus, she called her poor when they reached this part. Who wanted to be told that she was adopted all of a sudden? Everything had changed in her life because of this...

Aunt Yue could even explain everything in details, making Xiao Fang believe in her power. She even told her in details that she finally had her spring time[1] at this moment...

When Xiao Fang heard the last part, she was blushing profusely. She asked meekly, "Will I get my own happy ending?"

Aunt Yue laughed at the woman’s shyness... She knew that Han women tended to be very bold when expressing their feelings, but it was refreshing to see a shy one.

[1]. Spring time is connected to the season of love in China.
