Hearing Lady Xie’s words, Old Lady Lin couldn’t help but furrow her brows deeply. She pondered, perplexed. "What nonsense are you talking? The Lu Family isn’t good enough for Yingying? Do you even know who the Lu Family are? Besides, you just said it yourself: Yingying’s face is ruined, and she’s blind in one eye. The Eldest Young Master of the Lu Family is well aware of this!" Lady Xie paid no heed to Old Lady Lin’s concerns. "Mother, rest assured. I’ve already figured out a plan. The Lu Family marrying my daughter is simply a pipe dream. Just you wait and see; your granddaughter will certainly rise to an unrivaled stature." The Celestial Master had said that as long as that lowly wench, Xie Pan’Er, stayed with her daughter, then her daughter would not suffer the short and unlucky life predicted by her Bazi. Lady Xie couldn’t help but think back fourteen years, when she was eight months pregnant with her daughter. She had gone out to burn incense and pray for safety but unexpectedly went into labor on her journey back. Consequently, she had to divert her course and give birth at the villa. What was even more unexpected was that at the villa, her dowry maid from the Luo Family was also giving birth and had safely delivered a daughter, Xie Pan’Er. Technically, Xie Pan’Er, being the first-born girl of the Xie Family in her generation, should have been known as the Eldest Miss Xie. But Lady Xie also gave birth to a daughter at the villa. Lady Xie did not want her own daughter to have a lower status than the daughter of that lowly wench from the Luo Family, so she ordered everyone to conceal the news and prevent the servants from reporting it to the Capital City. While Lady Xie and the woman from the Luo Family were both observing their postpartum confinement at the villa, Xie Yingying suddenly started to experience intermittent high fevers, refused to eat or drink, and cried incessantly at night. The doctors couldn’t find the cause of her illness. Just when it seemed her daughter was on the verge of death, a Celestial Master suddenly appeared at the villa. The Celestial Master calculated Xie Yingying’s Bazi and said, "Miss Xie’s destiny is such that even if she grows up safely now, she is bound to die an untimely death." Hearing this, Lady Xie was terrified and immediately had someone offer the Celestial Master several hundred taels of silver, begging him for a solution. The Celestial Master closed his eyes in contemplation, pinched his fingers together, and his brow twitched slightly. "May I ask, Madam, if any other children were born around the same time as Miss Xie? Could you provide me with their birth details to calculate their Bazi?" "Indeed, there were. May I ask what the Celestial Master requires them for?" "Miss Xie Yingying’s Bazi is inauspicious, and she is fated to die young. However, there is a way for her to live a peaceful and healthy life. We must find a child born around the same time as Miss Xie Yingying, one with great fortune, to lend their luck to her, helping her avert calamities and bring good fortune. By fraudulently using that child’s Bazi as her own, Miss Xie Yingying will certainly be able to avoid the fate of dying young!" Lady Xie was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately had someone write down the Bazi of Xie Pan’Er, born to the woman from the Luo Family, and also the Bazi of Xie Shining, who, according to news just received from the main family, had recently been born into the second branch of the Xie Family. When the Celestial Master saw Xie Shining’s Bazi, he merely nodded slightly and said, "This child possesses some minor fortune, but it’s not enough to overcome Miss Xie Yingying’s fate of a premature death!" Then he picked up Xie Pan’Er’s Bazi and began his calculations. Suddenly, his eyes snapped wide open, and he asked, "Whose Bazi is this? What are the identities of this child’s parents?" Lady Xie sneered and said, "This is the Bazi of the daughter born to my chamber pot maid. Celestial Master, do you think it can be used?" "Indeed, it can! This Bazi shows a natural Phoenix Destiny! You must find a way to acquire a lock of her natal hair, and I shall perform the ritual to borrow her fortune. "Then, you will announce publicly that this child’s Bazi is actually Miss Xie Yingying’s. Furthermore, you must find a way to make the other child, Xie Pan’Er, take on Miss Xie Yingying’s original, ill-fated Bazi. Only then will Miss Xie Yingying be able to avoid her premature death."
