It couldn’t be a scam, could it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that young guy just now, when he arrived, was as pale as a ghost and overdressed; yet he left looking all fine...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these words, those who had been talking tough suddenly felt an inexplicable tightness in their chest and quickly took their companions and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun was slowly setting now, and some of the stalls around were starting to pack up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran thought that after speaking of the Shadow Devouring Master, surely no one would be daredevil enough to seek fortune-telling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ziwei, with a cup of milk tea in hand and a look of merely being a spectator, sat directly in front of Yun Ran’s stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a somewhat arrogant expression, she said: \"You didn’t fulfill your three fortunes today, right? Considering we’re high school classmates, I’ll reluctantly do you a favor. Just give me a casual reading.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Yun Ran didn’t react, Qu Ziwei, being a pampered daughter of the Qu Family, had proper manners despite her arrogance and actually blushed a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to apologize, Qu Ziwei could only push her milk tea in front of Yun Ran: \"Here, drink this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One doesn’t turn down good fortune without being a fool, and Yun Ran was not dumb; she took the milk tea, inserted a straw, and began to drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a few big gulps, Yun Ran looked straight at Qu Ziwei: \"Tell me, what do you want to know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ziwei did not expect Yun Ran to be quite so easy to talk to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just... um...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ziwei stopped mid-sentence, noticing that the onlookers, who were thought to have dispersed, had gathered around again, and a flash of displeasure crossed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, miss, you were setting up a stall not too far from here, right? Why did you come to have your fortune told too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re all stallholders on the same street. Surely there’s no charge, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Qu Ziwei immediately felt underestimated; she pulled out her phone, made a payment by scanning a code, and still paid the full price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was the young Miss of the Qu Family; how could she fuss over such a small amount of money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the sound of the WeChat payment notification, those who had said they wouldn’t charge were once again proven wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying the fee, she didn’t bother with the onlookers anymore and went straight into her troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to have my sister-in-law’s situation read. As you should know, my brother and my sister-in-law have been married for nearly ten years and they still don’t have a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’ve been to the hospital for check-ups, and there’s nothing wrong with either of their bodies, but they just can’t get pregnant. My mom and my sister-in-law are practically enemies now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I was little, it was mostly my sister-in-law who raised me. Now, one is my birth mother and the other my dear sister-in-law; whomsoever I support, I can’t avoid being the bad person...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran could tell that Qu Ziwei was treating her like a fertility goddess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew a thing or two about the Qu Family affairs; Qu Da and his wife were childhood sweethearts with a great relationship, marrying just as they came of age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides were a good match in terms of social standing, which could have been considered a perfect union, yet life always has its imperfections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their affluent background and being the classic couple of talent and beauty, the absence of a child turned the household upside down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing from the ladies gossiping over afternoon tea, the lady of the Qu Family had given an ultimatum, pressuring Qu Da and his wife to divorce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they don’t divorce, then find someone else to have a child and bring it back to be registered under Qu Da and his wife’s names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such things aren’t uncommon among the wealthy, but they’re somewhat callous and a bit embarrassing all the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran couldn’t quite find it within herself to sympathize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me see a recent photo or video of your brother and his wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ziwei had been prepared and, worried that Yun Ran wouldn’t see clearly, she directly took out the tablet from her bag and placed the photo in front of Yun Ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran had heard much gossip, but she had scarcely met any of these subjects of gossip in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking over the couple’s photos, Yun Ran’s gaze paused for a moment, as if she saw something amiss, and looked over them carefully again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ziwei watched Yun Ran closely, growing nervous as she observed her expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She feared that Yun Ran would say the same as other fortune tellers – that her brother and sister-in-law, when apart, could have children, but together, they were fated to be lonely for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran didn’t keep her in suspense and said directly, \"Judging by their faces, your brother and your sister-in-law should have at least three children, but there’s a darkness and obscurity in their Children Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that her brother and sister-in-law should have children, Qu Ziwei couldn’t care about anything else and immediately grasped Yun Ran’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must help my brother and sister-in-law. If they can have a child, I’ll have my sister-in-law give you a huge red envelope, starting at one million!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Qu Da and his wife’s facial features, it seemed like there was a saboteur at work. Yun Ran initially planned to suggest Qu Ziwei check the servants at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon hearing about the big red envelope, she couldn’t pass that up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, even if the saboteur was a mouse from the Qu Family, she’d have to personally catch the mouse, boil water to flood the hole, and then seal it off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Show me photos of your family’s villa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ziwei didn’t understand why Yun Ran was suddenly energized but did as told.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing the villa, Yun Ran started to do the fortune-telling calculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Among your servants, is there a 45-year-old single woman born in the year of the Tiger, who only has one daughter and has been with your family for at least 20 years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such specific details, it was almost as if the only thing Yun Ran hadn’t done was cite the servant’s ID number, and Qu Ziwei nodded repeatedly in confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1338,"2026-06-06T11:48:49.175Z",1,"novelbin.me","89e674a7fa5ce4cbce327e54b7bfea8e055e2c520b446567207da5fdfeba2697","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-29","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-27",1219,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-cover.jpg"]
