While Tao Wencheng and his spouse were whispering to each other, Qin Liuxi was administering acupuncture to Yu Miao to dispel the cold, while answering his questions.
"In the wooden house, that child's birth attracted many evil spirits. Was it because of her Life Chart?"
Qin Liuxi, twirling a silver needle, replied, "You're a high-ranking official—how can you still believe in strange forces and gods?"
"I've seen it with my own eyes, it's hard not to believe," Elder Yu chuckled. "Scholars always say not to discuss strange forces and gods, but that's due to their limited experiences. At my age, what haven't I seen?"
"That's not necessarily the case. There are plenty of scholars your age who still frequently mention not discussing strange forces and gods."
Elder Yu: "..."
All right, you're the one who's right, if you say so!
"So you agree that what I said is correct?"
"Yes." Correct it is, but Qin Liuxi did not specify whether it was due to his wealth or his constitution.
