581 The Secret About the Past 199 (2/2)

In fact, the fumes were a little overbearing.

The wall fan was blowing continuously.

There were several women in the room, some young, some older.

There was a queue for fortune-telling.

Mrs. Ye was last in line and, thus, had to wait patiently for her turn. She sat on a chair and her eyes darted around the room.

There were several pieces of red fabric hanging on the wall, which appeared rather vibrant and bright due to the dim lights.

The elderly lady was sitting by the table on which there were several statues of deities and Gods.

Mrs. Ye continued to wait quietly for her turn. Noticing that the people before her had obtained accurate readings, Mrs. Ye instantly felt a glimmer of hope.

Forty minutes later, it was finally her turn.

Mrs. Ye and the elderly woman were left alone in the room.

She kneeled down onto the praying mats like the women before her. ”What would you like to ask about?” the elderly lady asked.

”I'd like to know if I'm destined to have any grandsons.”

”What's your name?” The elderly lady put on her glasses and picked up a pen to begin writing.

Mrs. Ye revealed her full name and birth characters.

She then looked at the elderly woman quietly.

After reading her birth characters, the elderly lady said, ”Kowtow six times.”

While Mrs. Ye was kowtowing, the elderly lady lit up an incense stick and placed it inside the joss urn.

She knelt down again and began speaking.

”You have three children, am I right?”

Mrs. Ye nodded and said, ”Yes, two sons and a daughter.”

The elderly lady acknowledged this with a nod and said, ”I'll be honest with you. Your eldest son has two daughters, and he's not going to have another son. As for your younger son, all I can say is that he and your current daughter-in-law will have four girls.”

Mrs. Ye was instantly dumbfounded. ”What do you mean?”

”You don't understand? Your son and your current daughter-in-law will have four daughters, including the ones who were miscarried.”

”You… you mean I won't have any grandsons? Can I beg for a grandson? Without a grandson, our family's bloodline will cease and we will have no heir.”

”I don't suggest you do that. You would have to make a deal with Heaven in exchange for a child. Daughters aren't that bad, they're considered heirs too. Usually, there are bound to be dire consequences if you ask Heaven for another child when you already have one,” the elderly lady said frankly.

”How about if I have a change of daughter-in-law? What I mean is that I'll get my son to find another woman.”

Bewildered by Mrs. Ye's question, the elderly lady answered, ”The male parent is the deciding factor of the child's gender. It has nothing to do with your daughter-in-law at all. Do you have any other questions?” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”I gave birth to two sons myself, why can't any of them give birth to a boy?”

”Its all fated. Just because you gave birth to a son doesn't mean your son will have a son of his own too,” said the elderly lady, completely dismissing Mrs. Ye's question.

”Your readings are not accurate at all. It's complete rubbish.”

Mrs. Ye placed a hundred dollars on the table before leaving the place.

The elderly lady's words ran through Mrs. Ye's mind constantly while she was on her way back.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She then decided to go to another fortune-teller instead of heading home.
