Chapter 1: The Qin Family's Home is Seized
3 min read803 words
The Qin family has finally been seized!
And I have been waiting for this day for ten years!
Ten years ago, I came through with a full-level divination technique. The moment I opened my eyes, I calculated that the family would inevitably face this disaster.
And I am the only hope for a turnaround.
But before I could take the time to resolve the crisis for the family, I was exiled to the countryside by the old patriarch, who was lacking in sense.

Qin Liuxi looked at the crowd squeezed into the flower hall.
Each one was drenched, yet their expressions were arrogant, as if they still hadn't recognized the reality and still considered themselves high-ranking nobles.
Qin Liuxi sighed and said to the leading old lady, "Grandmother, I have already had someone prepare ginger tea and hot water. Shall we drink some ginger tea and take a hot bath to dispel the cold before we talk?"
Huh?
The old lady Qin was taken aback, a moment of doubt flashing in her eyes.
They hadn't been notified about the seizure of the Qin family's home, so where did this girl get the news from, and how did she prepare everything in advance?
But after such a long journey, they were too exhausted to investigate. The old lady Qin nodded and said, "You arrange it."
Qin Liuxi had Aunt Li and others lead the group of over ten people to wash up. Her eyes fell on a woman with a large belly, and her eyelids twitched.
This was truly a case of misfortune piling up.
The Qin family's troubles came suddenly, leaving no time to hide anything. Not only did they fail to bring any valuables from home, but even the hairpins and fine clothes on their bodies were taken off, leaving the women in simple plain dresses.
This wasn't a big deal; at worst, they would have a simple meal. She wouldn't let these people go hungry. But the problem was the pregnant woman, who, due to the sudden disaster, was overly frightened and weak, with the baby moving and about to be born, her face almost covered in a dark aura.
Qin Liuxi turned to the doctor Qi Huang beside her and whispered a few words. Qi Huang quickly left.
Sure enough, as soon as Qi Huang left, the woman let out a cry of pain, clutching her stomach and falling to the ground. Blood slowly spread from under her, staining her white dress red.
The sudden incident shocked everyone in the flower hall, their faces turning pale as they screamed in alarm.
"Third Sister-in-law." A woman with a slightly haggard but still dignified face rushed over, lifting the woman who was groaning and crying in pain from the ground and holding her in her arms.
"It hurts, my stomach hurts so much." Lady Gu clutched her stomach, her face pale, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.
"Mother." Lady Wang looked at the old lady Qin, her face white, and said, "Third Sister-in-law is about to give birth."
The old lady Qin's body went limp. This was the second child for her daughter-in-law, but she was carrying twins, and she was only seven months pregnant. If she gave birth prematurely, could the two children survive?
Not to mention the two children, but for the mother, who had just gone through a major disaster and was mentally and physically shocked, giving birth under such circumstances was like walking on the edge of a cliff.
The old lady Qin closed her eyes, a sudden wave of sorrow overwhelming her.
The Qin family had enjoyed smooth sailing for decades, but now the house was collapsing. Was this heaven's way of destroying the Qin family?
"Mother?"
The old lady Qin bit her tongue hard, tasting the salty, metallic flavor of blood, and opened her eyes, taking a deep breath. "Prepare to help Lady Gu give birth."
She then looked at Qin Liuxi.
Qin Liuxi immediately stepped forward and said, "Grandmother, I have already sent someone to invite a midwife. Please be at ease and move Third Aunt to the delivery room first."
The old lady Qin looked around, seeing the women and children in the room trembling with fear. She hadn't expected that a young girl like Qin Liuxi, who had just reached the age of marriage, could be of any help.
