"No, she really does eat people!" The woman glared at the child, clearly disgusted with the baby in her arms. However, the child was not yet a year old and could not walk, so she had to hold him.

But that didn't stop her from disliking the child.

If she could, she wished she had never given birth to this daughter.

"Then tell me in detail, when did she eat people? How did she eat them?" Ye Xianya was a little angry.

“When I was pregnant, my belly was quite big. The doctor said that I was very likely carrying twins. Later… later I went to a fortune teller. The fortune teller said that I was carrying twins, a boy and a girl. I was overjoyed. After ten months of hard work, I finally gave birth to the children. But… but I only have one daughter now. My son is gone. My son is gone!” The woman said, wiping away tears.

She longed to have a son, but he disappeared without a trace.

"I've heard people say that some children are ghost babies, reincarnations of evil spirits, who eat people. My son disappeared without a trace, he must have been eaten by this damned girl. I asked a Taoist priest, and he said the same thing." After the woman finished speaking, she looked at the child in her arms, her eyes filled with resentment.

"So you want to kill her to avenge your son. For the past three months, you haven't taken good care of her. Instead, you've often starved her. A few days ago, you even threw her into the water vat at home, trying to drown her. Luckily, your eldest daughter saw it and quickly called your mother-in-law, who saved the child. A couple of days ago, you abandoned her again, but your husband found her and brought her back." After making these calculations, Ye Xianya's face grew increasingly grim.

This woman was so desperate for a son that she was hallucinating. From the moment she became pregnant, she firmly believed that she was carrying a son. When the doctor told her that it was very likely to be a daughter, she couldn't accept it and went insane, telling everyone she met that she was carrying twins.

In order to give birth to a "son" smoothly, the woman often went to a fortune teller in the east of the city to have her fortune told. The fortune teller was so bothered by her that he finally agreed with her and said that she was carrying twins.

However, she was born only a daughter.

"You've gone a bit mad trying to have a son. Actually, you've only ever had this one child in your belly. Your belly was big because there was a lot of amniotic fluid. You're only carrying this one daughter. The so-called son is just something you've imagined," Ye Xianya said in a deep voice.

"No...it's impossible! I'm clearly pregnant with another son!" The woman was extremely agitated and dropped the baby in her arms. Qi Chengshuo, who was standing nearby, was quick to catch the baby before it fell to the ground.

"I clearly have a son, but this damned girl ate him! She ate my son!" The woman touched her stomach, crying and laughing at the same time, appearing like a madwoman.

"Turns out he's a madman!"

"No wonder he's so crazy."

The crowd immediately started discussing it.

Just then, a man dressed in gray hurriedly walked in.

"My wife has developed hysteria and is somewhat delirious. She likes to talk nonsense and has offended the princess. Please forgive her!" The man kowtowed to Ye Xianya.

After Ye Xianya told him to get up, he hurriedly came over and grabbed the woman's hand: "Wife, why did you bring Bi'er out? Come back with me quickly."

After he finished speaking, he went to hug his daughter.

The woman broke free and reached out to grab her daughter.

"This monstrous fetus ate my son. I'm going to kill her. I'll make her pay with her life. Only when she's dead can my son come back..."

The man quickly shielded his daughter and pushed the woman away, but she lunged at him and bit his hand. The man shuddered in pain, but he didn't push her away again; instead, he let her bite him.

He was experienced with this kind of thing; his wife would calm down after venting.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xianya used her magic to clear the woman's mind somewhat.

The woman looked at everyone blankly, then at her husband's bitten hand, and covered her mouth to cry.

“She has hysteria. I have already used my magic to treat her. I will write a prescription for you to take back and get the medicine. Drink it for half a month and she will be cured.” After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she picked up her pen and wrote the prescription.

"Thank you, Princess!" Upon hearing her words, the man quickly grabbed his wife's hand and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

He almost went bankrupt trying to cure his wife's illness.

Ordinary families don't have the financial means to take medicine for a long time.

Three months ago, after the doctor diagnosed his wife with hysteria, he prescribed medicine for her. She had been drinking it for three months, but it not only failed to cure her, but her condition has worsened.

He thought it was hopeless, but to his surprise, she secretly ran away with the child today. If his mother hadn't gone to his workplace to look for him and urged him to find her, he wouldn't have known.

Fortunately, she stumbled upon the princess by sheer luck, and she was able to cure the illness.

“She gave birth to two daughters in a row before, and she was worried that you would dislike her, and she also thought that her parents-in-law would be unhappy, so she wanted to give birth to a son as soon as possible. As a result, her third child was also a daughter, which is why things have come to this. You must not blame her for this. I have calculated for you two. In two years, you will have a son. This daughter is your lucky star. You must treat her well in the future,” Ye Xianya said softly.

After hearing her words, the couple thanked her profusely and left with their child.

Ye Xianya watched their departing figures and couldn't help but sigh.

Qi Chengshuo thought she pitied the little girl, so he said, "Xianya, I'll send someone to take good care of that child. Let the steward of the Prince's mansion raise him and take good care of him!"

“No need!” Ye Xianya shook her head: “I have already used my magic to cure that woman’s illness. Once she is completely cured, she will be good to the children. In fact… that man and his parents did not despise or blame her for giving birth to three daughters. On the contrary, they were very good to her and the children. It was her own fault for being unable to think straight that led her to this state.”

Since she started telling fortunes, she has discovered that people in this world are all different, and many people's actions are beyond her imagination.

"That's good!" Qi Chengshuo nodded with a smile. "It's a blessing for their family to have met you!"

"It can only be considered a kind of fate!" Ye Xianya said with a smile. "Only people whose fate has brought them together will meet. There are so many people in this world. To meet in the vast sea of ​​people is a kind of fate. However, fate also varies in depth. Many people only meet once."

"So, is the connection between us deep or shallow?" Qi Chengshuo asked, seizing the opportunity.

Ye Xianya smiled upon hearing this, but did not speak. She glanced at Qi Chengshuo, then turned to Furong and instructed her to send someone over to tell fortunes.
