From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 434: Chapter 431 Zheng Xiu Was Angered to Tears by Fengzi (Third Update)

”Little Master, these two fortunes clearly contradict each other.”

First, it says Lu Yuanfeng has poor luck with money, and then it says he’ll achieve great things in the future.

Isn’t this just nonsense?

How can a big man be without money?

”Shuangshuang, I think the fortune is right, I gave you all my Silver, doesn’t that align with it?”

Lu Yuanfeng didn’t mind, instead, he tried to comfort Mu Shuangshuang.

This made Mu Shuangshuang both laugh and cry.

”Fengzi, you’re just defending him, I’m done!”

”Shuangshuang, I’m just trying to keep you from getting upset. Actually, it’s nothing serious; as long as the first fortune is good, we’re fine! Besides, as long as I have a golden ingot, why worry about having no money?”

Lu Yuanfeng rarely joked around.

After listening, Mu Shuangshuang felt relieved.

After all, as long as they’re together, they can overcome any difficulty.

Mu Shuangshuang felt better, her face showing a bright smile again.

”Little Master, do you know how to get those incense paper ingots without queuing?”

Mu Shuangshuang was implying she wanted a shortcut.

”I... I don’t know!” the Little Master nervously waved his hand.

”Are you sure you don’t know? I heard that everyone at the City God Temple stalls knows each other well, and you’re the one interpreting fortunes, so you must know them.”

”If you don’t help me, I’ll tell others your fortunes contradict each other and let everyone judge!”

The Little Master felt he was facing trouble.

He reluctantly took Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng to buy Yellow Paper and paper for folding golden ingots. The Yellow Paper comes in two kinds, one is large Yellow Paper, the other is smaller, and the paper for folding golden ingots is even smaller.

Mu Shuangshuang bought two bundles of each type, carefully wrapping them up.

Just when they were about to leave, a girl in a red wide-sleeve dress suddenly approached.

She came straight over and stopped in front of Lu Yuanfeng.

”It’s you, you’re at the City God Temple too? Are you here for a romance blessing? Did you get it? Tell me!”

Zheng Xiu was all smiles, bombarding Lu Yuanfeng with questions, completely ignoring Mu Shuangshuang beside him.

”Miss Zheng, I have other matters, please step aside!”

Without any empathy, Lu Yuanfeng directly asked Zheng Xiu to leave.

Zheng Xiu was born into an upper-class family; everyone treated her with respect, and her family spoiled her.

So, Zheng Xiu’s eyes turned red immediately.

She stubbornly stared at Lu Yuanfeng, questioning, ”Why are you so rude to me? What did I do to you? Among all these people, I came to find you, but you won’t even smile at me. Lu Yuanfeng, I hate you!”

”...”

Zheng Xiu’s words left Lu Yuanfeng bewildered. He barely knew her, having exchanged only a couple of words.

But Zheng Xiu’s reaction suggested she saw herself as entitled to him.

She wanted things her way.

Lu Yuanfeng was naturally unwilling to compromise.

”Miss Zheng, we’ve barely spoken, nor have I been rude to you. I hope you understand.”

He remained cold and aloof.

Zheng Xiu fumed internally, especially when Mu Shuangshuang’s lips curved into a light smile, which Zheng Xiu perceived as mockery.

”Is this woman making you keep your distance from me?”

”Is this woman telling you not to be friends with me?”

”Is this woman badmouthing me in front of you?”

Mu Shuangshuang thought she was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

Ms. Zheng really thought highly of herself.

If she did say anything, Lu Yuanfeng probably wouldn’t even stand before her.

Zheng Xiu flushed with anger and asked sharply, ”Are you admitting it?”

”Miss Zheng, you’re overthinking it; Shuangshuang has never said anything bad about you. The reason I’m not close to you is simply because men and women should keep their distance.”

”Men and women should keep their distance? Lu Yuanfeng, don’t try to fool me! Have you ever kept your distance from her? Just now, I saw her whisper in your ear, and you looked so happy.”

Zheng Xiu expressed what she saw, her face full of resentment.

Lu Yuanfeng grew even more dissatisfied with Zheng Xiu, suddenly reaching out to pull Mu Shuangshuang into his arms.

”I don’t know why you insist on questioning my relationship with Shuangshuang, but let me be clear: Shuangshuang is my future wife, and we are open and honest!”

With that, Lu Yuanfeng planted a kiss on Mu Shuangshuang’s cheek, making her blush instantly.

”You two...” Zheng Xiu was so angry that tears fell, and she ran out covering her face.

Mu Shuangshuang was thoroughly charmed by Lu Yuanfeng today.

He defended her, kissed her right in front of Zheng Xiu.

Mu Shuangshuang felt the Lu Yuanfeng she knew before was fake; the real one was this decisive and clear-cut version.

He acted without hesitation, leaving no room for misunderstandings.

”Fengzi, you were amazing today!”

Lu Yuanfeng was surprised by Mu Shuangshuang’s praise; he thought she’d be upset over the sneaky kiss.

”Haha, as long as Shuangshuang is happy!”

”You little rascal, you took advantage of me.” Mu Shuangshuang shyly turned away, feeling entirely protected and cherished inside.

”Shuangshuang, I didn’t mean to.” Lu Yuanfeng panicked, thinking Mu Shuangshuang was angry.

”Alright, let’s go somewhere else, we still need to buy some things!”

”Today we’re inviting Uncle Fu, Xiao Nan, and Aunt Xiao Yun’s family over for dinner; I need to whip up my specialties, make something delicious.”

”Sure, but let’s first stop by Uncle Da Niu’s to get the mandarin duck pot, what do you think?” Lu Yuanfeng asked.

”Hmm, I almost forgot about that; since we have the mandarin duck pot, we might as well do hotpot. Looks like it might rain today.”

Rain would lower the temperature, making hotpot perfect.

The two picked up two mandarin duck pots, declined Uncle Da Niu’s dinner invitation, and continued shopping in the market for treasures.

”For hotpot, you need meatballs, hand-rolled meatballs, shrimp balls made from fresh shrimp, fish balls, and essential ingredients like kelp and bean sprouts.”

”Then we’ll make a pot of dumplings with various fillings, a mapo tofu dish, and miso soup. Fengzi, do you think that’s enough for us to eat?”

Mu Shuangshuang listed a bunch of items before asking Lu Yuanfeng.

”That’s plenty, let’s go shop!”

Mu Shuangshuang weighed two pounds of meat, one pound pure lean meat, one pound of five-flavor pork, but no fresh shrimp, no tofu, and the strangest was bean sprouts.

Mu Shuangshuang only picked a small handful, and it cost three coins.

Too expensive!

The bean sprout vendor saw Mu Shuangshuang touching the bean sprouts without buying and looked unhappy.

”You little girl, if you’re not buying, then move along; stop hindering my business here.”

Lu Yuanfeng frowned, dissatisfied with the vendor’s remarks about Shuangshuang.

”You’re running a business here, and customers have the right to choose.”
