"Let's go." Ye Xianya stood up.

"Who was calling from next door just now?" Qi Chengshuo couldn't help but ask.

Could it be that Ye Xianya attacked someone?

If someone really dies, he needs to send someone to handle the aftermath as soon as possible, so as not to involve her.

“That coward Jiang Mingtao, I hadn’t even scared him yet, and he screamed and fainted. Tell me… how could such a coward dare to deceive everyone and divorce his wife to marry another? He also sent a lot of people to attack us, not stopping until he killed us.”

Ye Xianya sneered, "Does Jiang Mingtao think his life is everything, while other people's lives are worthless?"

"If someone who values ​​life so much were to have to commit suicide one day, wouldn't that be quite amusing?" Ye Xianya turned her head and smiled.

"It's quite interesting!" Qi Chengshuo nodded.

He discovered that Ye Xianya was capable of quickly bringing down the Jiang family and killing those members of the Jiang family.

She was just playing around!

When you have nothing to do, tease them, play with them, and let them live in fear and anxiety until they break down.

Fearing death, yet ultimately forced to walk this path.

...

Because she went to bed late, Ye Xianya was also quite late when she went to set up her stall the next day. There were already quite a few people gathered in front of her fortune-telling stall, with Pei Junqi leading the crowd.

"Miss Ye!" Pei Junqi waved to Ye Xianya, extremely excited.

Ye Xianya had just arrived, and before she even sat down on the stool, Pei Junqi said, "Miss Ye, you are truly amazing! Yesterday we went to Zuixianlou and successfully caught that thief. You have no idea, that guy's martial arts skills are quite high. If it weren't for Lord Zhao, we would have suffered heavy losses."

"It's good that you've caught him. Young Master Pei, did you come here today to have your fortune told?" Ye Xianya asked with a smile.

She feels that she still looks quite like a fortune teller, at least her smile is very standard.

Over the past few days, she had observed the old men and uncles around her who were fortune tellers. They were all like that, always smiling at everyone.

"Miss Ye, could you take a look at my recent fortune? Is there anything I need to pay special attention to?" Pei Junqi said in a low voice, "For example, injury or bleeding, I don't think so, right? I'm most afraid of bloodshed."

He was afraid of dying, and he was also afraid of getting hurt.

Ye Xianya laughed upon hearing this, thinking, "She's someone who's particularly afraid of death."

However, no one in the world is willing to risk their life.

That's perfectly normal!

Ye Xianya calculated for a moment and then smiled and said, "You've been doing quite well lately. Your luck is good. Although you may not get promoted or become rich, everything is going smoothly. At least there won't be any problems within a month."

Pei Junqi was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Alright, thank you very much, Miss Ye. I'll come again next month."

He took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table.

Ye Xianya pointed to a sign on the side, which read "Ten coins for one divination".

"I would give you ten taels for Miss Ye's divination, but I would still think it's too little." After saying this, Pei Junqi left happily, planning to come once a month.

“Miss.” Furong glanced at Ye Xianya from the side.

"Please accept it," Ye Xianya said softly.

"Okay." Furong nodded quickly and happily put the silver into the cloth bag she carried with her.

"Madam, what would you like to know?" Ye Xianya asked with a smile, looking at the old woman sitting on the stool.

“Young lady, my daughter-in-law went back to her parents’ home half a month ago and hasn’t returned yet. I’m a little worried. I’d like to ask you to help me calculate when she will return. If it’s really impossible, I’ll have my son go and pick her up. But her parents’ home is quite far from the capital, about 70 or 80 miles away. My son is busy with work and really can’t get away…”

The old woman went on and on, even mentioning that her son was a carpenter and was currently making tables and chairs for a wealthy family surnamed Liu.

The old lady seemed quite proud of herself.

Living in Beijing and having a skill to support your family is pretty good.

Ye Xianya did some quick calculations and her expression immediately changed.

“Auntie, there’s a dry well in your backyard.”

"Yes." The old woman nodded quickly: "That well used to have water, about seven or eight years ago, but suddenly it stopped flowing. My husband spent five taels of silver to have someone dig another well in the front yard, and the well in the back yard was abandoned. It was supposed to be filled in, but I thought, what if it has water again? Then we'll have two wells to use, so we'll keep it."

"The person is in that dry well. Auntie, you can see him once someone moves the big stone covering the well opening." Ye Xianya said, then looked at Shen Furong beside her: "Furong, go to the yamen to report the case."

Ye Xianya knew that she would encounter some trouble while she was here telling fortunes, so she had already shown Shen Furong the way to the yamen.

"Yes," Shen Furong replied, and was about to leave when the old woman grabbed her arm: "You're not allowed to go!"

"You're really good at talking nonsense. I only came here early this morning because I heard you were very accurate at fortune telling. I didn't expect you to start scaring people as soon as you opened your mouth. My daughter-in-law clearly went back to her parents' home. I personally escorted her to the city gate and saw her get on the oxcart. There's no way it could be fake. How could she die? And die in the dry well behind my house? Let me tell you, it's absolutely impossible!"

The old woman was furious. She put her hands on her hips and shouted as if she wanted everyone around her to hear: "Whose daughter are you? At such a young age, you're pretending to be a fortune teller to swindle and cheat people. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? Give me back the ten coins I paid for the fortune telling!"

Ye Xianya's fortune telling yesterday was very accurate. There's no shortage of gossips in the capital. The word spread quickly, and today many people lined up at her fortune-telling stall. After hearing what the old lady said, everyone started whispering among themselves.

"Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter. Don't stop my men from reporting the case to the yamen. Once the officials arrive, they'll move the big stone covering the dry well and look inside. Everything will then become clear. As for the fortune-telling fee, are you sure you want me to return it? If my prediction is accurate, you won't just have to give me ten coins, but ten taels of silver."

The old woman wanted to take back the ten coins she had placed on the table, but after hearing Ye Xianya's words, she quickly withdrew her hand and dared not touch them.

What if... what if this girl is right? Wouldn't she have to give her ten taels of silver?

Her husband and son worked hard as carpenters for a year, earning at most twenty taels of silver. She and her daughter-in-law did laundry and mending for several families, receiving two taels from each family, totaling only ten taels of silver a year.

That's hard-earned money.

"You...you say she died in our dry well, then tell me, why did she die there? I don't believe that she could have run back after leaving and accidentally fallen to her death in there. Besides the dry well, there is a small vegetable garden in our backyard. I go there to work from time to time. If someone really died in there, there would definitely be a smell, but I didn't smell anything."
