Surprise! The Princess from the Wealthy Family Can Tell Fortunes

Chapter 3

Lu Zhibei was completely stunned. He never expected that Zhizhi, who appeared soft and cute on the outside, would actually give them talismans and charms. Wasn't that something only Taoist priests did?

No, wait, didn't the eldest brother mention that Zhizhi had grown up with her Taoist master? Could it be that Zhizhi was a Taoist too? Lu Zhibei took a second look at the green Dao robe.

"Luzhi, I thought Zhizhi was wearing a Hanfu earlier."

Zhizhi noticed that her four older cousins were silent and worriedly asked.

"Big brothers, don't you like it?"

Lu Zhidong was an atheist and considered all of this to be feudal superstition, but when faced with Zhizhi's clear and bright eyes, he couldn't bear to disappoint her.

"...I like it."

"It's just that we're surprised. We didn't expect Zhizhi to be able to draw symbols."

Upon hearing her eldest cousin say that he liked it, Zhizhi tried to suppress the corners of her mouth from turning up and quickly said.

"Master taught me."

Lu Zhidong was interested in learning about Zhizhi's life on the mountain, so he asked.

 "What else did your master teach you?"

Seeing that her eldest cousin was interested, Zhizhi briefly mentioned.

 "Divination, exorcism..."

"Brother, I never expected our little cousin to be a charlatan?"

Lu Zhibei was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He whispered to his older brother, Lu Zhixi, "You're not going to take our sister to the police station, are you?"

Lu Zhixi gave him a disdainful look. Although he was a police officer, he dealt with criminal cases and didn't get involved in these matters.

Sharp-eared Zhizhi turned her head to look at the muttering Lu Zhibei and frowned.

"I'm not lying."

"I believe Zhizhi is not lying."

Even if she lied, it wasn't Zhizhi's fault. Lu Zhidong looked at the clear handwriting on the talisman and didn't hesitate to praise.

"Zhizhi, you draw well."

"It's alright." Zhizhi arrogantly hmphed.

"Big brother, you should carry it with you. It can protect everyone's safety."

"Okay."

Lu Zhidong didn't believe these talismans really worked, but it was Zhizhi's heartfelt gesture. He neatly put them away in the pocket of his suit jacket.

"Thank you for the gift, Zhizhi. I'll keep it well."

After putting away the talismans, Lu Zhidong seriously corrected Zhizhi's mistake from earlier.

 "Earlier, Zhizhi said something wrong. It's not 'shouliu' (refuge), but 'huijia' (come home)."

"Zhizhi, we didn't know about your birth before. If we had known, we would have gone to the mountains to find you."

Third Uncle was a painter who liked to go on excursions and was rarely at home, so no one knew about his personal relationships, and they missed the news of Zhizhi.
