After failing her tribulation, the Grand Elder of the Xuan Sect reincarnated as a little village girl in a remote area! Her father was dead, and her mother was remarrying!
Her stepfather was ...
Ye Xianya smiled as she spoke: "As for now, Father is definitely capable of handling things on his own, and he will be a good emperor in the future."
Ye Xianya hugged Ye Miaoyun's arm tightly: "The key is that he treats his mother very well, so well that it makes people envious. Mother, just wait to enjoy your life from now on. You will be the most noble and happiest woman in the world."
"The way you're saying that makes your mother a little flattered," Ye Miaoyun couldn't help but laugh.
"My mother is so good, she deserves the best of everything in the world."
Ye Xianya chatted with Ye Miaoyun for a while, and after finishing lunch together, she prepared to go out.
"Xianya, will you still be telling fortunes at Taoyuan Residence in the future?" Ye Miaoyun asked her daughter softly.
"Yes, I will." Ye Xianya nodded: "I told my mother before that I would tell fortunes for ordinary people, not to earn a lot of money, but to accumulate some good karma, so that my cultivation will be smoother."
Those who are blessed by Heaven will find everything they do goes smoothly, and all of this is related to the good karma they have accumulated.
"According to you, your mother must have accumulated a lot of good fortune in her past life?" Ye Miaoyun asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Ye Xianya nodded: "Everything that Mother has now is the result of blessings accumulated over several lifetimes. Although Mother had a rather miserable life for the past ten years or so, her suffering has finally come to an end."
"Then go ahead!" After saying that, Ye Miaoyun quickly had a carriage prepared to take Ye Xianya and Shen Furong to Taoyuan Residence.
When the master and servant arrived, there were already quite a few people waiting outside. The young woman at the head of the group, dressed in fine clothes, gave Ye Xianya a familiar feeling, as if she had seen her before.
After the woman took the number and went outside to call the person in, Ye Xianya finally remembered.
This is the maidservant of the young lady from the Wei family.
Looking at Wei Yin'er sitting in front of her, Ye Xianya couldn't help but frown: "Miss Wei, are you here again today to have your marriage fortune told?"
Wei Yin'er didn't say anything, but took a thousand taels of silver from the maid and placed it in front of Ye Xianya.
Ye Xianya pushed the silver note back: "If Miss Wei has nothing else, you should go back first. I already asked you what you wanted to ask last time, so there's no need to waste your money and my time."
After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she looked at Shen Furong behind her and said, "See Miss Wei off!"
“I’m paying you to tell my fortune, that’s fair. Besides, I haven’t even asked yet, so why is Miss Ye so sure I want to ask about marriage?” Wei Yin’er quickly said.
"It is true that you gave me money to tell my fortune, but... I can also choose not to." Ye Xianya said coldly.
"I just wanted to ask Miss Ye about the future of our Wei family, not about marriage. Please enlighten me, Miss Ye," Wei Yin'er said quickly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xianya gave her a meaningful look.
She wasn't stupid, and she was good at predicting things, so of course she knew that Wei Yin'er had come to see her today because she originally wanted to ask about marriage, but after she refused, Wei Yin'er immediately changed her mind.
"As long as your aunt is well, your Wei family will naturally enjoy wealth and prosperity," Ye Xianya said calmly.
"Thank you, Miss!" Wei Shuyu said, then got up and left with her maids.
"Miss, does this Miss Ye have so much money she can't spend it all?" Shen Furong looked at the silver notes on the table and couldn't help but scratch her head.
No matter how much money you have, you can't use it like this.
Is this what people mean when they say someone is foolish and has too much money?
"Put it away," Ye Xianya said calmly.
She didn't say much to Shen Furong and quickly began to tell fortunes for the next person.
Just as I was about to close up shop, an elderly woman spoke up anxiously, "Young lady, could you please help me with some calculations? I want to know if my daughter is in any trouble?"
“My daughter works as an embroidery artist in a workshop. Lately, she has been looking sullen every time she comes home. When I ask her about it, she doesn’t say a word and forces a smile to say that she’s fine, but I feel very uneasy.”
"To be honest, young lady, I'm not young anymore. I was nearly forty when my daughter was born. It was my late-life daughter. A few years ago, her father passed away from a serious illness, and my daughter and I depended on each other for survival."
“Because I’m good at embroidery, I’ve been teaching my daughter to embroider since she was little. She’s very talented, and a few years ago she got a job as an embroiderer at the famous Jinxiufang embroidery workshop in the capital. Everything has been going smoothly for her, but these past few days she’s seemed really preoccupied, which is really worrying me…”
Upon hearing this, Ye Xianya did some quick calculations with her fingers, and her expression immediately changed.
"Auntie, come with me quickly!" Yi Xianya said as she walked out. "I'm not very familiar with the area where you live. Auntie, please lead the way to your house. If we're any later, your daughter might be in danger!"
Upon hearing this, the old woman's expression changed drastically, and she quickly led the way.
When they rushed to the old woman's house in the west of the city, they pushed open the courtyard gate and saw that her daughter was already hanging from a tree.
"Qiuyue..." the old woman screamed and collapsed to the ground.
Ye Xianya rushed over and lowered the person down from the tree.
Because they arrived in time, Qiuyue was still alive. Ye Xianya took out silver needles and pricked her a few times, and Qiuyue slowly opened her eyes.
"My daughter, how could you be so foolish? If you die, how can I live?" The old woman hugged her daughter tightly and burst into tears.
Qiuyue leaned against the old woman's chest, silent and dazed.
"Child, what's wrong with you?" The old woman waved her hand in front of her and asked in a trembling voice.
Qiuyue remained silent, but tears welled up in her eyes.
"Miss Ye, what's wrong with my daughter?" The old woman turned to look at Ye Xianya and asked in a trembling voice.
“She was haunted by a ghost.” Ye Xianya frowned slightly. “So she was somewhat out of control and ended up hanging from a tree, almost losing her life.”
The old woman trembled upon hearing this: "Ghost...ghost..."
“We’re too late. The ghost has already vanished. It’s daytime now, so it can only appear in the shadows.”
Ye Xianya paused slightly as she spoke, "He's been bothering your daughter for several days, especially at night."
The old woman was taken aback upon hearing this, and after a moment she said, "No wonder...no wonder I've been hearing strange noises coming from my daughter's room these past few days..."
The old lady found it difficult to speak.
She thought it was her daughter having a wet dream.
Her daughter is eighteen this year. She has been working as an embroiderer in the embroidery workshop for the past few years and has saved up some dowry. She asked a matchmaker to find a husband for her daughter, but they are not from the capital and the small courtyard they live in is rented. It is not easy to find a good match for her.
Unexpectedly... my daughter was actually haunted by a ghost.
“Auntie, your daughter has been tainted by some ghostly energy. I will purify her first. Tonight, I will come again to help you catch the ghost and exorcise evil spirits.” After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she quickly used the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to purify the ghostly energy on Qiuyue’s body.
Ye Xianya had heard many ghost stories from the folk, most of which involved beautiful female ghosts entangled with scholars.
But today, the opposite is true.
