Chapter 849: Chapter 849: Observing Fate Through Meridians

Gu Qiang slumped on the ground, somewhat fearfully avoiding Zhao Lang’s gaze.

At this moment, he had completely shed his usual facade of gentle elegance, his face a blend of light and shadow, terrifying in its stark contrast.

"What, what do you want to do?" Gu Qiang swallowed hard and said, "Let me tell you, I’m not just a daughter of the Gu Family, I, I am also the wife of the Jin Family. Even if the old man agrees, they won’t let you off easily."

"Oh, really?" Zhao Lang gently turned the ring on his finger, "Haven’t you figured out your situation yet? Don’t you understand why the Jin Family agreed to let you in the door in the first place? Ha, they are now nothing but a hollow shell. Without the backing of the Gu Family, do you think they care about you in the slightest?"

Gu Qiang knew everything Zhao Lang said was true, but she was unwilling to face it.

When this reality was brutally laid bare, her body began to uncontrollably tremble again.

She screamed desperately, trying to escape this place, but the moment she tried to stand, Zhao Lang grabbed her by the neck and slammed her hard onto the ground.

"Auntie sure is strong, thinking of running away even at a time like this. When I was studying in England, I often went to an underground fighting ring to box; there are many boxing slaves there. Looking at your physique, Auntie, you might fit right in."

He squinted his eyes and smiled, but his gaze was chillingly cold, "How about I do someone a favor and send Auntie there to live out her days peacefully."

"No, don’t." Gu Qiang’s pupils shrunk in fear, "No, you can’t send me there!"

She had never expected Gu Yu to be so ruthless, actually wanting to send her to such a place!

Being there would be worse than dying!

But Zhao Lang clearly didn’t wish to deal with her any longer. After releasing her, he dusted off his clothes and gestured for the servant to take Gu Qiang away.

He stared at the closed door with a cold gaze.

Finally rid of a buzzing fly.

...

In the afternoon, a few rays of sunlight peeked through the grayish sky, warming the body.

Early spring had just arrived, and the backyard of the Gu Family was filled with a dazzling array of blooming flowers, all in season.

It was evident that the Gu Family had put a lot of effort into this garden.

Occasionally, a few servants could be seen tending to the plants and flowers in the garden, nodding in acknowledgment as they saw her from afar.

Jiang Li first admired some flowers she hadn’t seen before, then walked along a cobblestone path to the gazebo on the other side.

Someone was sitting in that gazebo.

It was none other than Rong Ya.

She wore a light blue evening dress, her hair slightly curled and loosely gathered at the back, with a hat of the same color covering most of her face.

At that moment, she sat on the bench beside the pavilion, admiring the flowers next to her by herself, her silhouette proud and indifferent, without a trace of loneliness or chill.

Seeing her for the first time, Jiang Li felt that this eldest daughter of the Rong Family was indeed someone who came from true refinement.

Her demeanor was poised and graceful, appropriately restrained, sparsely spoken yet understanding of human nature, coldly guarded against everyone around her.

She smiled slightly, lifted her skirt, and walked over.

"This flower is called Snowdrops, it likes cold and fears heat, usually blooming in early spring. But do you know what its language of flowers is?"

Rong Ya paused for a moment upon hearing the voice, then slowly raised her head to look at her.

"What is it?"

"The rarer it is the more precious, a beauty that is unique."

Rong Ya glanced at her again, then shifted her gaze away gently.

"You don’t need to use these words to get on my good side."

Jiang Li stepped forward, "I’m not trying to please you; I’m thanking you."

"Thanking me? For what?"

"Just now, Miss Rong helped me out at the dinner table; I usually dislike owing people favors the most, so naturally, a word of thanks is necessary."

Rong Ya was silent for a moment, then spoke faintly, "You have quite an interesting personality."

Jiang Li smiled a little and sat down beside her.

Rong Ya seemed somewhat averse to her actions, frowned, and moved a bit to the side.

Jiang Li looked at her: "Just saying thank you might be too insubstantial; is there anything Miss Rong needs my help with?"

"What could you possibly help me with?"

Jiang Li smiled slightly, "I can help Miss Rong achieve an unfulfilled wish."

Rong Ya chuckled softly, "Miss Jiang sure is confident."

In her eyes, although this Jiang Li had some abilities, her social status was still apparent.

Reaching the achievements she had today was not easy, how could she possibly help her?

"Then could Miss Rong share your Four Pillars of Destiny with me?"

Rong Ya’s brow furrowed, looking at her without speaking.

Having come from a prominent family, her four pillars were already divined by her parents for fortune and misfortune at birth.

She naturally knew the importance of such a thing.

How could she easily give it to someone else?

Jiang Li noticed her hesitation and corrected herself: "If Miss Rong doesn’t want to give me the four pillars, just place your right hand on my knee."

Rong Ya was even more puzzled, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"In the Xuan Sect, besides observing the Four Pillars and divining fate, there’s another secret technique known as pulse reading for fate. Miss Rong does not believe in me nor wishes to give me the four pillars, so let me read your pulse instead."

Rong Ya was even more skeptical.

Even with some fortune-tellers, the four pillars might not be comprehensible, let alone reading fate through the pulse.

How could there be such an unfathomable thing in the world?

But skepticism aside, Rong Ya was still somewhat curious.

After contemplating for a moment, she rolled up her sleeves, placed her fair right hand on Jiang Li’s knee, and then jutted her chin towards her.

The gesture clearly said, "I want to see how you manage this."

Jiang Li placed her fingertips on it, her gaze lingering on Rong Ya’s cheekbones.

After a few minutes, her lips moved slightly.

"Miss Rong possesses the Destiny of Ding Water, which signifies great luck in life. This indicates that you were born into an extremely wealthy family, and both your parents possessed power and capability."

Rong Ya’s expression was indifferent.

These things were obvious without guessing.

However, Jiang Li did get one thing right; she was indeed of the Destiny of Ding Water, as previously stated by a master.

"The Destiny of Ding Water has an excellent monthly pillar, but unfortunately, your first several years followed the Water Wood cycle, with an overall affluent flow. It shows that during this period, your fate went very smoothly, be it in academics, finances, or health, everything was perfect and progressing well. Had it continued like this, your future would be limitless."

"But after you turned 16, Water Wood changed to Gold Fire, and your family underwent massive upheaval, which seems to have occurred concerning your parents. The roots were severed, and you experienced estrangement from your parents, who are probably now far away and in poor conditions, especially your mother, whose health seems to have deteriorated,"
