Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling Chapter 45 - 47: Growing Weaker

With the previous matter concluded, Su Nian sent out another lucky bag.

A red lucky bag, emblazoned with the character for "fortune," bounced on the screen. The winner was announced in no ti.

The winner was Heart Echo.

Su Nian sent a video call invitation.

A beautiful and elegant woman appeared on the screen, around thirty-five years old. Her eyes showed a hint of fatigue, but her skin was well-maintained, without a single wrinkle.

"Heavenly Venerate, my husband... sothing’s been off with him lately."

"He’s... he’s beco very weak. He doesn’t want to be intimate with , and he goes to bed very early every day, but he’s still exhausted. He can’t eat, and it seems like even lifting a bowl is difficult for him."

Su Nian paused. ’It sounds like his vitality is completely drained.’

[Sounds like a case for one of those late-night TV supplents...]

[I bet fifty bucks, he’s definitely cheating!]

[Yeah, he must have soone on the side, otherwise, this stuff wouldn’t be happening!]

Su Nian picked up a peach, took a bite, and said, "Paynt first."

A Carnival appeared on the screen, and Heart Echo continued speaking.

"And he’s been acting strange, too. He used to be very particular about his appearance, but now he just seems numb to it all. He wears the oddest clothes every day."

[That’s so weird. Logically, if he were cheating, shouldn’t he be dressing up more to impress soone?]

[I agree, that doesn’t sound right. If he was cheating, he probably wouldn’t make it so obvious.]

[Maybe it’s a dical issue? My older brother had a similar situation, and it turned out to be a kidney problem. Besides all this, my brother also had trouble holding his pee.]

"Heavenly Venerate, I’ve taken him to the hospital, but they couldn’t find anything wrong."

Heart Echo sighed. She and her husband truly loved each other, so she was taking this very seriously and was now worried sick.

"Ma’am, it’s ti for your bird’s nest porridge."

A soft, energetic female voice rang out, interrupting Heart Echo’s sigh.

"I’m sorry, Heavenly Venerate. Is it okay if I eat while we talk?"

Su Nian nodded. "That’s fine."

"Xiao Wang, what did you make? I’d like so too..."

A weak, listless voice spoke up. It was Heart Echo’s husband.

Su Nian said, "Turn your cara toward him. I want to see his face."

Heart Echo was very cooperative. But besides her husband, a beautiful nanny also appeared in the fra.

Then, her frail husband ca into view—his face was deathly pale with dark circles under his eyes, and he was nothing but skin and bones.

The nanny helped her husband eat a little of the bird’s nest soup, then carefully helped him back to his room.

[Heart Echo, you’ve been understating it.]

[You call that weak? The real question is whether he’ll see tomorrow’s sunrise.]

[You guys are all focused on her husband, but not . That nanny is so gentle and pretty. I like her!]

The man was just as Heart Echo had described, if not worse. He even had great difficulty walking.

And Heart Echo could no longer hold back her tears.

"I’m watching him get weaker day by day, and I don’t understand what’s happening!"

Su Nian asked, "When did he start getting like this?"

"About a month ago, I think!"

Su Nian continued, "Tell more. How did you first notice it?"

"About a month ago, my husband already seed a bit weak. When I first noticed, I took him to a major hospital for a check-up, but it was no use."

"The doctors couldn’t figure out the cause. I watched him get weaker by the day and started to wonder if it was a psychological issue, but he passed all those tests too."

"So, to help take care of him, I hired a professional nanny just two days ago. I thought her cooking skills would help him get better. But his condition is only getting worse. He can eat a little more with her help, but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference."

"Seeing him like this... I’m so scared he’s going to leave ."

Heart Echo covered her mouth, unable to eat any more of the bird’s nest soup in her hand. Her eyes were red.

"My husband and I have been together for so many years. I can’t imagine what I’d do without him. Heavenly Venerate, no matter what, you have to help , okay? I’ll pay any price!"

Heart Echo’s words were resolute, but Su Nian’s gaze was fixed on the bowl of bird’s nest soup.

In her eyes, it was a bowl teeming with insects.

"This bird’s nest soup of yours..."

Although she didn’t quite understand why Su Nian was bringing up the bird’s nest soup, she cooperatively adjusted her cara.

"My nanny made this. It tastes wonderful and is very nourishing. If you’d like so, Strear, I can send you a bit."

Heart Echo’s mind raced for a mont; she thought Su Nian wanted to try her bird’s nest soup.

Su Nian paused, unsure for a mont whether she should praise her or not.

"Is your nanny there with you?"

Su Nian changed the subject.

"Xiao Wang? Xiao Wang?"

Heart Echo turned her head and called out twice before turning back to the cara.

"She must have gone out grocery shopping."

Su Nian tapped her fingers lightly on the table twice. The hollow sound seed to possess a strange magic, causing Heart Echo’s vision to blur for a mont.

Heart Echo felt a bit strange. ’Why is my head so dizzy?’ She shook her head, and her vision cleared again.

But this ti, she saw sothing different.

Could soone please tell her why her favorite bird’s nest soup had suddenly turned into a bowl of insects?

She stared at the tiny, writhing white insects crawling all over each other in the bowl.

Heart Echo’s face instantly turned ashen. The next thought that hit her was that she had just eaten several spoonfuls, and the realization was too much to bear.

"BLECH..."

But nothing ca up except clear fluid.

[That’s so gross! So the nanny’s the problem?]

[What the hell is that nanny up to?! Are those those... Poisonous Insects!]

[No wonder! I was thinking, Heart Echo seems to co from a well-off family, so why is her bird’s nest soup so shredded? Turns out it’s not bird’s nest at all! It’s so dark magic from the nanny to make it look like it!]

"Heavenly Venerable Bailian, what in the world is going on?!"

Heart Echo, now weak from retching, was on the floor, her eyes filled with terror.

She had never really believed in this kind of thing before, but now she was terrified. The stuff had tasted exactly like bird’s nest soup, so how did it suddenly turn into insects?

The psychological shock was too much to handle, and she started heaving again.

But Su Nian spoke again.

"Your nanny is back."

Heart Echo panicked instantly. People naturally feel fear and anxiety when faced with the unknown, especially in a situation like this.

Looking at the squirming insects in the bowl, Heart Echo gritted her teeth, stood up, and rushed into the bedroom.

"I’m calling the bodyguards to restrain her right now!"

[What the hell is this nanny?]

[Yeah, I thought sothing was off just now. Why would the nanny go grocery shopping so late at night?]

[Exactly. Who is she buying groceries and cooking for this late?]

The sound of a key turning in the lock echoed, and Heart Echo’s nerves tensed.

But after a rustling sound, the living room fell silent again.

Until—

"Ma’am, you’ve been a little naughty, haven’t you? Wasting such good food."

The nanny’s soft voice ca from right behind Heart Echo.
