Seeing Host Liu’s surprised expression, Gu Zhisang raised an eyebrow: “Don’t you know?”
She looked at Miss Xu’s face and said:
“Although the ‘Futang’ position in this lady’s forehead is smooth, the trend of the sun corner and the moon corner is close to the hairline. Having this forehead means that you were born without parents, but this did not cause any trouble in your later life.”
“The distance between your eyes and eyebrows is very close. This is the house of land and property, and it can also control the relationship with relatives. In the art of physiognomy, this trend is called ‘eyebrows pressing eyes.”
“Generally, people with such eyebrows and eyes have a shallow relationship with relatives and parents since childhood, or have been separated from their families since childhood.”
Gu Zhisang: “Just looking at your face, you are indeed destined to be an orphan at a young age. You should have entered the welfare home not long after you were born.”
She changed the subject and said:
“Although this is the case, your eyeballs are slightly bulging, and you don’t have a deeper eye socket, to some extent, this diluted and neutralized the coldness of ‘brows pressing eyes’.”
“This means that you were later adopted by a family, and this family treated you very well, making up for the lack of your biological parents, and you have a good relationship with your adoptive parents.”
Miss Xu was born with a lonely face, so Gu Zhisang pointed out that she and her current father, Mister Xu, were not biologically related as soon as she saw her.
The surprise on Miss Xu’s face had not yet faded, but she nodded slowly and said:
“It’strue. I am not my parents’ biological daughter. I was adopted by them.”
“They never told me about this. When we went back to our hometown during the Spring Festival when I was young, I accidentally heard the relatives there arguing with them.”
“I don’t think the adoption has anything to do with the strangeness of the funeral team some time ago, so I didn’t mention it to the program team.”
Host Liu on the side nodded with the microphone and said: “The program team is not clear about the fact that Miss Xu and the deceased are not biological father and daughter.”
Gu Zhisang said “Mmm” and asked directly: “So what is your appeal?”
Miss Xu told her again about the strange things at her father’s funeral and the illness of the young man who “soul-calling person”.
She was a little surprised and thoughtful.
“So my father was restless after his death, or was it because of his offspring…” Miss Xu looked bitter.
Gu Zhisang: “I don’t think so.”
She said calmly: “If Mister Xu cares about male offspring, why didn’t he adopt a boy when he adopted a child?”
Miss Xu was stunned by the question and opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything.
She suddenly realized that she had listened to too much gossip from relatives and neighbors before and got stuck in a dead end.
She didn’t even understand such a simple truth.
In fact, in her memory, Mister Xu was a very responsible father and husband.
When she went back to her hometown before, she roughly deduced the reason why her parents didn’t want children from some words revealed intentionally or unintentionally by relatives on her father’s side.
It is said that Mister Xu has asthenospermia and Mrs. Xu was in good health.
If they must have a child, even if they can conceive the fetus with great effort, it will be easy to miscarry because of the poor quality of Mister Xu’s semen.
Mrs. Xu needs to have many injections in her stomach to preserve the pregnancy, take a lot of medicine, and suffer a lot.
Even if the child was saved and born, it was possible that he would be weak and sick or have congenital disabilities.
Father Xu loved his wife very much, and he didn’t have those deep-rooted ideas of carrying on the family line. He thought that it would be better not to have children than to let his wife and children suffer because of his reasons.
But because his wife felt regretful, he went to the local orphanage to adopt a baby girl who was abandoned by her family not long after she was born – that was, Miss Xu.
Who would have thought that his decision would cause criticism from many relatives in his hometown?
His elder relatives have always said that not having a son was not a good way to get old, and when Father Xu gets old, he will regret it, and Miss Xu was just an adopted child.
Then, when the Xu couple dies of old age, won’t their house and inheritance fall into the hands of outsiders?!
Rather than giving them to the adopted girl, it would be better to leave them to their relatives.
So the relatives there persuaded tirelessly. They insisted that Father Xu recognize the nephew of the family as a godson, or adopt him from the relatives of the family.
But the Xu couple knew very well that these relatives were planning to take their future inheritance.
Seeing that they could not convince Xu’s parents, some vicious and jealous relatives privately spread rumors in front of their adopted daughter, who was very young at the time.
Noticing that their daughter was in a low mood after returning to her hometown, the Xu couple, who guessed something, were very angry, and over time they cut off contact with their relatives there.
Although the incident happened a long time ago, Miss Xu always remembered and knew that she was just an orphan.
But until Mrs. Xu was fifty years old, and her adoptive parents passed away one after another, they never talked about the topic of their life experience.
In Miss Xu’s heart, the Xu couple were her biological parents.
How could such a man, who felt sorry for his wife’s infertility and cut off contact with his gossipy relatives in his hometown because he felt sorry for his daughter, not want to return to the underworld after his death because he had no offspring?
Miss Xu asked anxiously: “What is the reason, Master Gu?”
Host Liu, who was standing next to him, also said that the previous contestants had “summoned the soul”, but none of them summoned Father Xu’s soul.
Gu Zhisang pondered for a moment and said: “They are quite powerful, but they haven’t found your father’s soul, so they can’t summon him.”
She didn’t need to perform the ritual again.
“But your father’s soul disappeared out of thin air, and the ‘soul-calling person’ was strangely possessed by evil spirits. Haven’t you ever thought about the connection between the two?”
Miss Xu’s eyes widened: “You mean, my father’s soul disappeared because of the child who performed the ‘soul-calling person’?”
Gu Zhisang said: “I can’t be sure, this is just my guess, but from your face, you have been calculated by a bad person recently.”
“The other party is not someone close to you, but he is coveting your property, and he is likely to harass you in the future.”
“Do you have a photo of the ‘soul-calling person’? Show me.”
Miss Xu shook her head slowly, indicating that their two families had only recently reconnected.
But she knew that the family’s residence was not far from Father Xu’s home, and it could be reached by crossing two streets.
She had visited the child at the other party’s home to apologize before.
The child’s parents were very resistant and believed that she and her father had harmed their son.
After much hesitation, Miss Xu decided to visit again under the persuasion of the program team.
Under her guidance, the group drove to another community not far from Father Xu’s home and arrived at the door of this family.
According to her, the family’s surname was He.
After knocking on the door of the He Family with trepidation, they waited for a few seconds and heard a question from the house: “Who is it?”
