After saying that, Zhu Zongyang entered the government office.

Liu Sanniang’s expression remained calm. Even though Zhu Zongyang was rude to her, she was not angry.

The constable smiled. “Miss Liu, don’t take it to heart.”

Liu Sanniang smiled, shook her head, and left with General Black.

She would not get upset over such a trivial matter. She only reminded Zhu Zongyang, but if he didn’t listen, there was nothing she could do.

Liu Sanniang was about to go home, but General Black suddenly got charged up. Liu Sanniang was pulled by him and she almost fell down. General Black’s ears pricked and he barked in a direction. Liu Sanniang couldn’t restrain him and had to go where he wanted her to.

She did not know that General Black had become so strong.

General Black ran through a few alleys before stopping outside a house. Then, he started shouting at the door.

Not long after, the door opened to reveal a middle-aged woman. The woman met Liu Sanniang’s eyes and asked. “Miss, who are you looking for?”

General Black sat on the ground and leaned against Liu Sanniang obediently.

Liu Sanniang was stunned. She looked at the woman and said, “Auntie, if you encounter anything that you can’t handle, you can look for me. My name is Liu Sanniang.”

The woman looked puzzled. “Miss, what are you talking about?”

Liu Sanniang looked at the woman’s face and said, “Auntie, you received a windfall lately, didn’t you?”

The woman was stunned for a moment before smiling. “Miss, come in.”

Madam Yu looked at Liu Sanniang and enthusiastically pulled her into the house. She had been thinking about going to see a fortune-teller, and Liu Sanniang came at just the right time.

General Black wagged his tail at Liu Sanniang as if he had done something amazing and was asking for praise.

Madam Yu brought a cup of tea and said with a smile, “Miss, please enlighten me.”

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “If you accept this windfall, some people will die because of it.”

The smile on Madam Yu’s face froze. She looked at Liu Sanniang suspiciously. “Miss, you haven’t even read my fortune yet. How do you know some people will die?”

Liu Sanniang looked at Madam Yu’s face and said, “If you accept this windfall, you will lose your husband and daughter.”

Madam Yu was dumbfounded. She opened her mouth and looked into Liu Sanniang’s eyes. She felt that what Liu Sanniang said was true. Madam Yu said in a daze, “I… I haven’t accepted it yet.”

Liu Sanniang reached out and touched General Black. “It’s fate that I’m brought here by my dog. I’m talking about the omen. If you believe me, you can avoid this calamity.”

Madam Yu felt her mind go blank. She looked at Liu Sanniang and felt something strange.

When Liu Sanniang looked at people, she was like a benevolent Bodhisattva. Looking into her eyes, one would know that what she said was true.

Madam Yu said, “Miss, I believe you, but I can’t make the decision alone. My husband will be back soon. Can you wait here? When he comes back, tell him that. I can’t convince him alone.”

Liu Sanniang nodded.

She looked at General Black and couldn’t help but wonder if General Black also had the ability to sense something.

Did he bring her here in the hope that she could help?

General Black looked up at Liu Sanniang, his dark eyes filled with excitement.

Madam Yu was anxious and would throw glances at the door from time to time.

Soon, the door of the courtyard opened and a familiar voice was heard coming from outside. “It’s so cold. Get me a glass of warm water.”

Madam Yu stood up and replied. “Alright.”

After Zhu Zongyang closed the courtyard door, he walked into the house and saw Liu Sanniang staring at him.

Zhu Zongyang was stunned for a moment before asking coldly. “Why are you in my house?”

Liu Sanniang touched General Black. “My dog brought me here.”

Zhu Zongyang looked at General Black beside Liu Sanniang. It was a very vigorous dog. It did not look big, but with its current size, he could tell that it would be humongous when it grew up.

Zhu Zongyang sneered. “Miss Liu, I’ve already handed in my resignation letter to Magistrate Wei. Now I have nothing to do with the government. Please leave.”

When Madam Yu returned with the water, she heard Zhu Zongyang chasing Liu Sanniang away coldly. Madam Yu quickly said, “Zongyang, why are you chasing her away? This girl can tell at a glance that we have received a windfall. She said that if we take it, you and our daughter will die. This girl…”

Without waiting for her to finish, Zhu Zongyang interrupted her impatiently. “Alright, alright, do I look like someone who will die? It’s a blessing that our daughter can have the marriage that everyone dreams of. I think she just wants to destroy the marriage. I know her and admit that she is capable. Otherwise, Magistrate Wei wouldn’t consult with her every time. But that doesn’t mean anything. Fates are preordained. How can she possibly tell people’s fates at a glance? What’s more, she even said it out loud. Isn’t she afraid of getting punished by the heavens.”

Zhu Zongyang looked at Liu Sanniang, wondering what else she could come up with.

Liu Sanniang’s expression was calm. She stood up and looked at Zhu Zongyang. “Assistant Zhu, life and death oftentimes is only a matter of choice. This choice is in your hand. Whether you can seize it depends entirely on you.”

Zhu Zongyang’s face darkened. “What do you mean? Do you mean that if I go against you today, I will definitely die?”

Zhu Zongyang felt that Liu Sanniang was trying to anger him. She always put on airs of an unfathomable master, which made everyone believe her, but he did not.

Madam Yu frowned. Just as she was about to speak, Zhu Zongyang glared at her coldly. Zhu Zongyang sneered. “Miss Liu Sanniang, please leave my house.”

Madam Yu sighed. “Miss, please leave.”

Zhu Zongyang turned his face away coldly. He thought that Liu Sanniang would tell his wife if she needed help, she could look for her, but Liu Sanniang just walked out with her dog and left without saying a word.

Madam Yu closed the door and returned to the house. “Is this the girl you often talk about?”
