Mrs. Gu took Gu Xun's and Lin Jixue's birth horoscopes to have a master read them for marital compatibility.
Her expression was grave when she returned.
She had thought saying their horoscopes were incompatible would be a mere convenient excuse. She never expected the master to actually reach that very conclusion after reading them.
He even said Lin Jixue would bring harm to Xun!
If Mrs. Gu had felt even a sliver of hesitation before leaving, it was completely gone now.
'I must send Lin Jixue back to Shu.'
'As soon as possible!'
"Go, summon Lin Jixue. I have something important to discuss with her."
「In the guest courtyard.」
Lin Jixue looked anxious. "Has that matter been taken care of?"
The moment Mrs. Gu left the city, Lin Jixue had also slipped out to make other arrangements.
'Regardless of the fortune-teller's verdict, in the eyes of the public, she and Gu Xun must be seen as a match made in heaven.'
'Only then could she seize the upper hand.'
