The old man with white beard said, "I not only read your birth date, but also looked at the place of birth. I figured that you must be born on the main road to the nine provinces, where the two rivers met. This is the place of reincarnation of the heavenly fiend."
"Master, where is the main road to the nine provinces and the place where the two rivers meet?" Essie asked again.
"Jiang City." The elder with white beard said.
"That means the one must be born in Jiang City and born in the same date as mine, right?"
"Of course." The old man with white beard was very sure.
Essie sat down next to Alena and said, "master, do you want to figure out by yourself or you can go online and check the date I told you in lunar calendar before?"
"What?" The old man with white beard quivered, and a hint of panic appeared on his face, but he quickly calmed down. "I am clear about it in my heart, don't worry about it."
"You don't know, do you?" Essie let out a sneer and said in a cold voice, "I made up the date at my will. The year I told you was in 1961 and I hadn't been born at that time. Besides, though I grew up in Jiang City, I'm not born there. The person who gave you money let you talk nonsense seems to know little about me."
The old man's face suddenly turned as red as a turkey cock. Seeing that he was brought to light, Valery was afraid of being suspected. She widened her eyes and pretended to be confused. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. The master will understand." There was a mockery in her voice.
Hearing this, Mary stayed silent. Even if the old man was a liar, she still believed that Essie was an evil spirit, just like the woman Luce before. She had brought bad luck to men.
Alena put down the heat insulation Cup in her hand with her calm face, but her heart was as clear as mirror. "Well, let's take him as a story teller. It's late, go back."
When Alena got back to the Rong Mansion, she began to speak, "no matter who did it, I will not investigate it anymore. However, if it happens again, I will not let it go easily. The reason why my family has made so many rules is that we have to prevent some people from making troubles and destroying the peace of the family."
