"I have a special skill that I'll show later."
Many children from aristocratic families at the banquet had shown their strengths before, such as Cui Xin's "Spirit Speaking Skill". Therefore, when they heard Yu Shu say that she would show a special skill, some people were curious, and some didn't think so.
Seeing this, Xi Wen knew that Yu Shu was going to make trouble. She gnashed her teeth with hatred, but she couldn't stop it. She could only comfort herself,
Even if this girl had a special skill, it couldn't be compared to Cui Xin's "Spirit Speaking Skill". She didn't need to be afraid.
In the waterside pavilion, Noble Consort Xue saw Yu Shu coming out at the last moment and asked with interest,
"What have you prepared?"
Yu Shu smiled. She put down her hands that were bowing and let them hang by her side. The red light on her forehead flickered and her eyes were bright.
"Everyone thinks that I'm the champion of the Big Calculation Course, but they forget that I'm also the Hidewon of the special skill course. Presumably, no one knows that what I'm most proud of is not the Calculating Method with Beads, but a special skill."
Her words reminded everyone present that she was a teacher. She was not just a fortune-teller, but a person who only appeared once in ten years.
The young ladies from aristocratic families who had looked down on her just now all looked at her seriously. They were tempted by Yu Shu and wanted to see what she could rely on.
Honored Consort Shu glanced at Noble Consort Xue, who was in a good mood, and suddenly said,
"What special skill is it? Can it be compared to your glib tongue?"
Everyone was silent. Seeing that Honored Consort Shu's face was as calm as autumn water, they thought that Yu Shu must have offended this person with her words not long ago. They secretly felt cold sweat for Yu Shu.
"Honored Consort Shu, don't worry. Let me keep you in suspense." Yu Shu didn't care whether Honored Consort Shu liked her or not.
Honored Consort Shu's son was Prince Ning. Prince Ning was Ji Xingxuan's ally, and Ji Xingxuan was her arch-enemy. Prince Ning was not a good person to begin with, and with this, it was enough for Yu Shu to hate him. Honored Consort Shu didn't need to please him, because sooner or later she would offend him.
In any case, she was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. With the identity of a person who broke his life, before Jing Chen broke his life, even the emperor had to protect her. What was there for her to be afraid of?
Yu Shu looked around. There was a calculating look in her eyes. She opened her mouth and asked,
"Ladies and gentlemen, whose family or friends have passed away in the past two years?"
Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke for a long time. Most likely, it was because Yu Shu's previous ferocious performance had left a lingering fear in people's hearts, and no one dared to answer her.
Yu Shu then asked, "It doesn't have to be a relative. It doesn't have to be within the last one or two years, or if you know the date of death and the date of birth."
The eight characters of the dead were useless, and they didn't need to be as strict as the living.
Everyone became even more suspicious.
"… I," Miss Ning said weakly, and raised her hand.
"I have a distant cousin who passed away several months ago."
Yu Shu stopped smiling and said seriously, "You don't have to tell me the specific day or why she passed away. Just tell me when she passed away."
Miss Ning recalled for a moment and said, "It was in February."
"Do you know when she was born?"
"I heard my mother mention it."
Yu Shu nodded, and then walked to the table that Cui Xin had put up when she performed the "Spirit Speaking Technique". She picked up a brush and called Miss Ning over to write down her cousin's birthday. Only then did she ask for instructions from her superior,
"Let me calculate. It will take some time."
Noble Consort Xue naturally promised her. With so many pairs of eyes watching, she was not afraid that she would lie.
Xin Liu ran to the side and helped Yu Shu grind the ink. In fact, he poked his head to see what she was up to. However, after a while, he felt dizzy and had no idea what she was scribbling on the paper.
Yu Shu didn't care that Xin Liu was peeking. If Xin Liu could understand it, she wouldn't be able to survive.
Seeing Yu Shu's action, everyone knew that she was calculating, but they didn't know what she was calculating.
All the disciples of aristocratic families knew that the eight characters of the dead could be used to predict a person's well-being. However, the eight characters of the dead couldn't be used to calculate because the cause and effect of the dead had been cut off.
Therefore, these people were very puzzled. What could Yu Shu calculate by asking for the eight characters of the dead?
Xi Wen didn't understand, so she asked Cui Xin in a low voice, "What does she want?"
Cui Xin shook her head, and her eyes were also strange, "When a person is dead, the eight characters of the dead are useless."
Xi Wen sneered and said, "I think she is deliberately mystifying. Watch carefully so that I can expose her later."
Cui Xin nodded hesitantly. She felt a little uneasy in her heart. She had a premonition that something unexpected would happen tonight.
.....
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Yu Shu finally stopped writing. Staring at what she had calculated, she had an idea in her heart. She raised her left hand and pinched her fingers to calculate for a while to avoid making a mistake.
Other people only felt that it was mysterious.
"Is it done?" Noble Consort Xue asked.
Yu Shu nodded and turned to Miss Ning.
"Did your cousin die on February 18th, between the hours of the morning and the hour of the morning?"
Miss Ning was stunned. After a while, she wanted to nod, "Yes, it was on the morning of February 18th … She died."
The scene became quiet.
In the crowd, some people's expressions changed slightly.
But Yu Shu was unwilling to call them. She then asked, "If I'm not wrong, she should have a weak constitution. She didn't get treated for a while, so she lost her life because of a serious cold."
Miss Ning slowly widened her eyes and looked at Yu Shu in disbelief. She was so surprised that she stuttered,
"You, you, how do you know?"
In terms of shock, the ten people present added together couldn't compare to Miss Ning. It had to be known that her cousin didn't live in the capital when she was alive. It was because her cousin's health wasn't good that her mother mentioned her to her a few times.
She had only seen this cousin a few times, but Yu Shu could accurately tell when she died of illness!
Miss Ning's reaction undoubtedly proved Yu Shu's words.
The garden was filled with surprise and doubt. Some people were surprised, but there must be people who didn't believe it.
In the waterside pavilion, Noble Consort Xue and Noble Consort Shu almost sat up straight at the same time.
"Humph, playing tricks," Xi Wen pointed out bluntly, "Do you think people are fools? What can you tell from a dead person's horoscope? You two have colluded long ago. Don't think I don't know that you two are in cahoots."
Everyone came to their senses. Oh, it turned out to be collusion. No wonder there was such a strange thing.
"No!" Half of Miss Ning's mind was still in surprise, but she divided the other half to refute,
"I didn't collude with Yu Suanzi. Your Grace, don't wrongly accuse me. Before this, I never mentioned anything about my cousin to Yu Suanzi."
Xi Wen said, "You didn't tell her, but it doesn't mean that you didn't tell others. I don't know where Yu Suanzi heard it, but I don't believe that she has the ability to determine a person's life and death!"
Not only did Xi Wen not believe it, there were so many people present. Although they saw Yu Shu's divination with their own eyes, they believed that it was true. However, the number of people, especially the children of aristocratic families, at this moment, had the same idea as Xi Wen —
Determining life and death, knowing fortune and misfortune, this was an ability that even the wise sage Yi Zi didn't dare to boast about, especially when it came to life and death. Even the ancestors of their families didn't know much about it. How could a girl who was only one or two years younger than them have such an amazing ability!?
What a joke!
