Chapter 17

Tang Zhendong carefully examined the facial features of Wang Cuifeng, the old man Li Zhiyong. Although he looked sickly, his face did not indicate a short life.

Tang Zhendong then looked at Wang Cuifeng again. Wang Cuifeng indeed had a troubled marital palace, indicating a separation between husband and wife.

However, the conclusion drawn from the facial reading was so different from the norm that it left Tang Zhendong at a loss. The contradictory facial readings made him doubt his own skills in physiognomy.

However, Tang Zhendong's master had once said: "Everything in the world is a collection of contradictions. If there are discrepancies between reality and the divination, one must calm down, carefully search, and unravel the layers to find the contradictory points."

Feng Shui and physiognomy, in fact, are not just about experience and knowledge, but also about calculation.

While Old Ye was asking Old Li detailed questions, Tang Zhendong stood up, "Can I go into the inner room to take a look?"

"Sure, sure, Little Master, please go ahead. The house is a bit messy, don't mind it."

Tang Zhendong walked into the inner room of the older sister's house. As soon as he entered, he saw a wooden rack set up in the northwest corner of the room, with a TV on top.

This was quite common. In a tube apartment, every inch of space was valuable. For example, in Wang Cuifeng's older sister's house, a one-bedroom apartment was divided into two rooms. The living room served multiple functions: kitchen, dining room, and living room. The space was already limited, and with so many functions, the living room naturally lacked space.

The bedroom, besides being used for sleeping, also served as a place for makeup and watching TV. However, there was no separate space for a TV stand, so the TV was placed on the wall. This saved space and made it convenient to watch.

However, it was this TV that led Tang Zhendong to find the root cause of Old Li's illness.

According to Feng Shui and divination: the northwest direction represents the father, with the trigram of Qian, which belongs to the Metal element. The TV, when powered on, belongs to the Fire element, and Fire overcomes Metal. The TV, placed high up, was directly above the head, pressing down on it day and night.

Therefore, Old Li would have headaches, which corresponded to the Feng Shui and Five Elements theory of fire above the head, with intense fire overcoming metal.

Having identified the root cause, Tang Zhendong left the bedroom and returned to the cramped sofa, "Little Tang, when I asked the older sister, I felt that the illness was a bit strange. He says he has headaches, but also discomfort in his stomach and chest. The symptoms are too complex. I think..."

Tang Zhendong knew what Old Ye was about to say. When Old Ye arrived today, Tang Zhendong noticed that his nose was shiny, indicating a person with floating wealth.

The nose belongs to the Wealth Palace, representing a person's wealth. Old Ye's nose bridge was low, but his nose was straight and round, indicating a wealthy and fortunate person.

However, today, Old Ye's nose tip was particularly shiny, indicating floating wealth. The nose tip is the highest part of the nose, which can be interpreted as floating above, and the shine represents wealth, clearly indicating floating wealth.

"Old Ye, I've encountered this illness before. Can I take a look at the older brother again?" Tang Zhendong quickly interjected when he heard Old Ye about to say he couldn't solve it, ready to return the three thousand yuan.

"Sure, Little Tang, you take a look." Old Ye immediately gave the main seat to Tang Zhendong.

"Old Brother, I'll call you that following Old Ye. Don't mind it. I want to ask how long you've been feeling dizzy and having headaches?"

Old Li thought for a moment and said, "It's been a long time. I can't remember exactly, but it started not long after we moved into this house. I've been feeling dizzy, and later it developed into headaches."

Tang Zhendong nodded and asked, "When did you start feeling discomfort in your stomach?"

"Actually, I never felt any stomach issues until recently. It's been a few days, and it's been really painful, so I decided to go to the hospital. But after all the tests, they didn't find anything wrong, and I spent a lot of money."

Tang Zhendong nodded, which made sense. This aligned with Feng Shui and physiognomy. The Kun position in Old Li's house, which is the kitchen, was clean and tidy, with no conflicting elements, which matched Old Li's own account. The main issue was the TV in the northwest position, which likely belonged to the Metal element and was placed in the northwest corner, corresponding to the Fire overcoming Metal Feng Shui layout.

This also matched Old Li's account. He started feeling dizzy after moving in and later developed headaches, which was the main cause of his illness. The stomach pain he mentioned was a recent issue.

"Old Brother, where are your children?" Tang Zhendong suddenly changed the topic to something seemingly unrelated.

This question not only surprised Old Li but also Old Ye. Old Ye thought to himself: We were talking about the illness, and you suddenly ask about their children? Isn't that irrelevant?

Old Li's expression darkened when he heard Tang Zhendong's question. Wang Cuifeng, seeing her husband's reaction, took over, "Master, let me tell you. Sigh, it's hard to talk about. Every time we mention this, both Old Li and I feel very sad."

"Actually, Old Li and I are not the original couple. Don't laugh, but Old Li's wife ran away with someone when he was young. He raised his son alone. I worked at the same unit as him. My husband died of illness, and I saw how hard it was for him to raise his child alone, so I often helped him with chores and laundry. Over time, we got closer, but good things always come with bad. Just before we were about to get this house, our son disappeared. I treated him like my own son. When he disappeared, Old Li and I stopped working and searched everywhere for over half a year, but we found no trace. When we returned to work after half a year, we got the house. If our son were here, our family would be complete. Sigh, why is my fate so bitter!"

As she spoke, Wang Cuifeng's eyes welled up with tears.

Tang Zhendong listened and nodded. This matched the facial reading. Wang Cuifeng had a widowed appearance, but Old Li was not short-lived.

Tang Zhendong looked at the main eastern wall of Old Li's house, which was clean and tidy, with a wooden clothes rack nailed to it. The main east is the Zhen trigram, belonging to the Wood element, representing the eldest son. The clean and tidy wall and the clothes rack indicated that Old Li's eldest son did not have a short life. The clothes rack symbolized Old Li's eldest son, and the clean and tidy wall symbolized a promising future.

In other words, Old Li's son not only did not die young but also had a bright future.

"Old Brother Li, don't worry. I believe your son is blessed and will be safe and sound."

Old Li nodded when he heard Tang Zhendong's words. He took them as words of comfort, which are often used to console people. However, the intention was good.

"Old Brother, do you like to have a drink now and then?" Tang Zhendong asked again, shifting the conversation and showcasing his free-flowing thinking.

Even Old Ye found Tang Zhendong's free-flowing thinking a bit strange, but he didn't say anything because they came together. In fact, Old Ye felt guilty after seeing Old Li's family situation.
