The wedding date was set, and the wedding invitation card was changed. Ding Mujie thought he could marry Lin Wan and spend the rest of his life with her. But three days later, his mother suddenly came and looked for him and said with a gloomy face, "Dear son, I just asked someone to check on the marriage astrology between you and Lin Wan. You are the fire in the sword, and she is the water in the sky. You two are incompatible as fire and water, and your lives are incompatible. If you insist on being together, I'm sure you'll make a scene in the future. "

"How is that possible?" Ding Mujie denied subconsciously.

His sister, Ding Xiang, immediately agreed, "Mom, who is that fortune teller who said so? How could he get such an outrageous conclusion? Brother and Lin Wan sis are a perfect match! "

Ding's mom knocked her forehead and scolded, "What fortune teller? Don't talk nonsense! I consulted a grand preceptor about their marriage astrology. How can that be inaccurate?" The grand preceptor is a well-known virtuous woman in the Wei dynasty. She was very proficient in metaphysics. All the rich families in Beijing liked to consult her for fortune-telling, and they were almost accurate. If it weren't for the help of the Lin family, she wouldn't have the right to meet the grand preceptor.

When Ding Xiang heard that the grand preceptor calculated the Ba-Zi, she immediately went quiet. She glanced carefully at her brother with full of sympathy.

For some reason, Ding Mujie suddenly remembered that the grand preceptor had taken Lin Wan as her apprentice in his previous life and helped her gain a firm foothold in the backyard of King Kang. Otherwise, after the Lin family was destroyed, Lin Wan would not be able to live well. Ding Mujie didn't know how and when she got the favor of the grand preceptor. He only knew that the grand preceptor treated her as her own daughter.

Now that something was wrong with the Ba-Zi, advised by the grand preceptor, Ding Mujie couldn't help overthink. Still, he blamed himself for being too suspicious.

He said gently, "Mom, please consult more people to check on our marriage astrology. What if the grand preceptor miscalculated?"

However, Ding's mom shook her head and said, "The grand preceptor said, if I don't believe in what she said, I can place your wedding invitation card in front of the Stove Lord Statue to trail the God's will. If within three days, there are people or animals who were restless and broken bowls or lanterns in the house, there is no need to calculate anymore. Both of you are certainly incompatible with each other."

It is a tradition to place the wedding invitation card under the statue, and Ding Mujie had no reason to stop it. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's test God's will." After saying goodbye to his mother, he immediately called in the servants at home. He repeatedly urged them to be careful and not to be careless. He believed that as long as everything went fine, his mother would not stop his marriage with Lin Wan.

At present, he was only a civilian. He could only enter the imperial palace after the imperial examination. At the same time, Lin Wan was the daughter of the general's house. If it weren't for the fact that the Ding family engaged the daughter of the Lin Family in their heyday, he might not have been able to marry Lin Wan. To put it bluntly, even if there was really something wrong with the marriage astrology between the two of them, for the sake of the power and influence of the Lin family, her mother would at most feel uncomfortable, but she would not cancel the marriage.

Ding Mujie believed that everything was under his control, so he didn't worry at all. But what bothered him was that many strange things had happened in the Ding family in the past three days. First, the cats and dogs had become eccentric and irritable, often bark and bite, and then the fish in the pond had turned over overnight and died.
