AMRWFA -Chapter 226 The Hidden Secrets on Qu Shiyi’s Body

Situ Ruiwen said, “I understand. Thank you, Madam Xu.”

Ruan Yaoyao waved a hand dismissively, telling him there was no need to thank her—after all, he had paid.

Situ Ruiwen then said, “If that’s the case, then if anyone around me needs physiognomy readings, can I introduce them to Madam Xu? They’d be willing to pay as well.”

More importantly—these were human lives at stake.

Those outside might be frauds, but Ruan Yaoyao was different. She truly had real ability.

Ruan Yaoyao’s eyes lit up.

“Sure! But you’d better let me know in advance to see if I’m free.”

【Hehe!】

【I don’t meet just anyone!】

“If I’m going to trouble Madam Xu, then of course I’ll notify you in advance. Since they are the ones asking for help, naturally it should be arranged according to Madam Xu’s schedule—whenever you are free, then you meet them.”

Situ Ruiwen pretended not to hear her inner thoughts and replied very naturally.

Not long after, Tu Yuyan returned.

Situ Ruiwen immediately noticed that her expression was a little off.

After the two parted ways and got into the car, Tu Yuyan suddenly asked, “You also signed a confidentiality agreement, didn’t you?”

“Also?” Situ Ruiwen was surprised. “You heard it too?”

Tu Yuyan nodded. “Yes. So that’s the real reason you brought me to meet this Madam Xu?”

She looked straight into Situ Ruiwen’s eyes, very seriously.

He nodded.

The engaged couple sat in the car in silence for a long while.

The idea of someone being able to see their future destiny… was truly…

Too incredible.

Yet at the same time, they also felt extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, their “fate” had been seen by someone. Otherwise, they might have almost been plotted against.

After Ruan Yaoyao handed off the “business” to Madam Xu, she suddenly realized she hadn’t reported it to the national team and felt a bit guilty.

She called her third son, Ru Anzhi, asking whether she had violated any rules by doing this.

Ru Anzhi couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

If it had really violated any rules, they would have stopped her the moment she collected Situ Ruiwen’s money. Since they didn’t stop her, it meant there was no problem.

He told her not to worry. If anything truly went against the rules, Ruan Zhihe would remind her.

Only then did Ruan Yaoyao feel relieved.

“Zhihe, you must keep a close eye on me. If I ever do something inappropriate, you must remind me in time—don’t wait until it’s too late.”

【I don’t want to do anything that violates the state’s taboos!】

Ruan Zhihe smiled and said, “Aunt Xu, you’re not going to do anything illegal. What taboos could there be?”

Ruan Yaoyao felt guilty. “I mean… I am promoting superstition…”

“If that’s how you put it, then should monks and Taoist priests all be arrested? As long as it’s not illegal, our country allows freedom of religious belief.”

【So physiognomy counts as religious freedom too?】

【Forget it. If they say it’s not a taboo, then it’s not.】

【I didn’t plan to do anything anyway. I just realized I’ve gained some ability and wanted to earn a bit of ‘pocket money’ myself.】

Ruan Zhihe couldn’t help but smile.

Aunt Xu… just based on all the things you’ve already done for the country, there’s no way they’d ever trouble you.

Besides, you’re doing good deeds, not harming anyone.

Ruan Yaoyao originally thought Qu Shiyi’s matter ended there.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, she heard news about her again—this time directly from her son, Ru Anzhi.

After that incident, they had specifically “investigated” Qu Shiyi as a precaution. After all, Li Tingting’s abilities were still a concern; they feared there might be another similar case.

During the investigation, they discovered that Qu Shiyi had once gone to a tattoo shop to modify a tattoo.

This itself wasn’t unusual—just a minor matter.

But the problem was that the tattoo she wanted to modify was the same strange “symbol” Ruan Yaoyao had previously seen on Bai Ling’er and Ma Aotian—exactly identical.

Because of this, they even checked everyone who had appeared on the “detail pages” before, and nearly all of them had it.

“Everyone has it?!” Yu Xiangqiao was shocked and quickly called for Xu Lianghan to go check themselves.

Even Ruan Yaoyao couldn’t help but lower her head.

【Don’t tell me I have it too…】

Ru Anzhi said, “Mine is on my lower back. The color is very faint—if you don’t look carefully, you can’t even see it.”

“Lower back? Wait, I’ll go check.”

Ruan Yaoyao called Ruan Zhihe upstairs and asked her to help check her back.

Normally, they bathed every day, but who would casually look at their own back or waist in the mirror to see if a pattern had appeared?

Ruan Zhihe carefully checked her, and Ruan Yaoyao also twisted around trying to inspect herself, but she couldn’t find any strange symbol on her body.

However, when she went downstairs, her son and daughter-in-law confirmed that they did indeed have such a symbol. The color was extremely close to their skin tone—just a shade lighter or darker.

“I don’t have it!” Ruan Yaoyao said.

Inside her dantian, the little golden snake sneezed: “Ah-choo!”

Seeing everyone turn toward her, Ruan Zhihe nodded. Madam Xu indeed didn’t have it—she had checked carefully.

Then…

What was going on?

Why did everyone else have it, but she didn’t?

Could it be that this was why, whenever she appeared, she could help people break free from the storyline?

And what exactly did this symbol mean?

Who had “stamped” it onto them?

Ruan Yaoyao suddenly thought of market pork—【meat stamped with official seals at the butcher stand.】

Everyone shuddered.

Night slowly deepened.

Ruan Yaoyao slept uneasily.

Fragments of color flashed before her eyes—scenes of her arguing with her son, her son jumping off a building, people drinking from her son’s skull, and other unfamiliar scenes she had never experienced before. They played like a chaotic montage.

In the end, all the fragments converged into countless photos falling from the sky.

The world suddenly shrank and was sealed into an “album.”

Faintly, she heard a voice.

“Hm?”

It sounded puzzled… or perhaps surprised.

Ruan Yaoyao suddenly woke up.

Sunlight poured in through the window, falling on her face.

Ruan Zhihe, sitting by the bed, looked at her with joy.

“Aunt Xu, you’re awake?”

Ruan Yaoyao looked blank.

“Huh?”

【What do you mean I’m awake?】

【Who doesn’t wake up after sleeping?】

“Aunt Xu, you’ve been asleep for three days and three nights. The doctors came several times. If they hadn’t confirmed you were just sleeping and nothing was wrong, we would’ve already taken you to the hospital for emergency treatment.”

Ruan Yaoyao was shocked.

“I slept that long?!”

“Yes! We were terrified.”

According to their speculation, it might have been a breakthrough in her cultivation or an advancement of some kind; otherwise, there was no explanation for why she would suddenly fall into such a deep sleep.

Both traditional Chinese medicine and Western doctors had come—top medical experts arranged by higher authorities.

Ruan Zhihe asked again, “Aunt Xu, how do you feel now? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?”

“I’m fine… just a little hungry.”

Three days and nights without food—of course she was hungry.

But Ruan Zhihe didn’t dare let her eat too much at once and only gave her some plain porridge. She also notified the rest of the family and the doctors.

As her children and relatives rushed back one after another, Ruan Yaoyao couldn’t help but laugh.

“I’m fine! Why are you all so nervous? You’re making it seem like something serious happened.”

【If I couldn’t see your detail pages, I’d almost think you were hiding a terminal illness from me!】

【You scared me to death!】
