Chapter 363: Something is wrong

Ye Wanxi's words surprised everyone again.

Ning Anquan's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the house in front of him and said with a faint smile, "Although I don't know what Miss Ye has seen in this house, my father bought it just a year ago."

"Bought it a year ago?" Ye Wanxi stared at Ning Anquan for a while, making sure he wasn't tainted by anything bad, and then asked knowingly, "Did your stepmother make you buy it?"

“Hmm.” Ning Anquan’s expression was somewhat cold. “A year ago, she said she didn’t like our old house, feeling that the decoration style couldn’t keep up with the grand, modern, and beautiful style of the current villas, so she asked my dad to sell that house and buy this one instead. But since we bought this house, only my old man and that woman live here.”

"You don't live here?"

"Um."

Zou Hanming and his companion knew about this: "The old house that Anquan's father sold was bought by Anquan's mother and father together. There are many memories of Anquan and his mother in that house, so Anquan did not agree to them reselling the house at first."

"But that woman must have bewitched Uncle Ning, because in the end the house was still sold, and Anquan was so angry that he moved out and rented a place to live on his own."

Hearing this, Ye Wanxi turned to look at Ning Anquan and asked with a smile, "Are you still renting a place to live?"

Ning Anquan shook his head: "Three months ago, I used all my savings to buy back the old house, and now I live there alone."

Ye Wanxi stared at him with a half-smile upon hearing this. He clearly didn't live here, yet he deliberately brought her here. The intention behind it couldn't be clearer.

Ning Anquan is more inclined to believe that the problem lies here than with the old house.

"Miss Ye, is there a problem with this house?"

Unlike when they were at the construction site not long ago, Ye Wanxi did not immediately explain, but only vaguely said, "Let's go in and take a look first."

Ning Anquan and Zou Hanming exchanged a glance and hurriedly led Ye Wanxi inside.

After Ning Anquan's father passed away, only Ning Anquan's stepmother, a nanny, and a driver remained in the house.

Today, Ning Anquan's stepmother happened to be out, leaving only the nanny in the house.

The nanny was taken aback when she saw Ning Anquan leading four or five people into the room in a grand procession: "Young Master, what brings you here?"

"There's a problem with a document at the company, so I came over to see if I had a backup at home. I urgently need it, so I asked my friends to help me look for it."

The nanny didn't doubt Ning Anquan's words. The male homeowner's sudden death had thrown the company into chaos, and the distribution of the inheritance was also quite troublesome.

Ning Anquan had visited several times before, but back then he was always entertained by his stepmother, Bai Limei.

"Do you need my help to find it?"

"No need, I have enough people on my side, you go ahead with your work."

"Okay." The nanny nodded and didn't insist.

Ning Anquan was, after all, the rightful heir of the Ning family. Even though he didn't live here, the nanny couldn't stop him. She just watched as Ning Anquan led a large group of people upstairs.

"This house is not big. Downstairs is mainly the living room, a guest room for the nanny, and the kitchen. Upstairs are the bedrooms."

As Ning Anquan spoke, he led the group to the master bedroom.

Surprisingly, the master bedroom was completely empty, showing no signs of being occupied.

"Isn't this room where your dad and stepmother live? Why does it look so empty?"

When Ning Anquan heard Zou Hanming ask this question, he sneered, "This room was prepared for me."

"Prepared for you? In the master bedroom?"

"The woman said she liked the garden behind the house, so their room was diagonally opposite this house. And this master bedroom was left empty for me, ostensibly to give me the best room so that I could come back to stay often and the family could reunite."

Zou Hanming and his companion were, after all, young masters from wealthy families. Even if their own families were harmonious, they had inevitably heard about some bizarre things that happened in other people's homes.

Upon hearing Ning Anquan's explanation, their first reaction was, "This sounds so strange. Is she trying to harm you?"

Ning Anquan thought so too. Although he didn't know exactly what the woman wanted to do, something was definitely amiss. Why would she stay in the second bedroom instead of the master bedroom, and make such a grand statement about it? It didn't seem right at all.

Unfortunately, her old man, blinded by her beauty, fell for it. Because of one of her bitchy remarks, he called her countless times, urging her to move in. He even did some things that Ning Anquan found utterly repulsive.

Ye Wanxi overheard this, strolled around the bedroom a couple of times, and then peeked out from behind the curtains by the bed, her eyes growing cold.

"Miss Ye, this room..."

"Thank goodness you didn't move in, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, we might accidentally end up without any descendants."

"What?!" Zou Hanming and the other exclaimed in surprise, while Ning Anquan's face turned ashen.

"Do you see that big tree outside the window that's almost reached the second floor?"

Ye Wanxi casually pointed out the window, allowing the group to see the large tree directly opposite the house.

What's wrong with this tree?

“Generally speaking, few people would plant a tree in this location in their front yard. This tree is directly facing the front door of the house and also directly facing your house, which is a 'piercing heart evil' or 'hanging needle evil.' As the name suggests, it means that this thing outside is like a needle hanging in front of you, which may cause you harm at any time.”

Xiang Linsheng looked at his friend: "Was this tree there when you bought the house, or did you plant it yourself later?"

"It was there when we bought it." Ning Anquan had come here several times to persuade his father not to sell the old house, and the tree was already there then.

"However, I remember that my dad thought the tree was too tall, too big, and too cumbersome, and worried about the safety of it during thunderstorms, so he wanted to cut it down. It was that woman who stopped him."

Upon hearing this, Zou Hanming's face darkened, and he asked curiously, "Miss Ye, what you just said about being childless..."

Ye Wanxi gave him a meaningful look: "Trees, telephone poles, streetlights, and other cylindrical objects are also called 'driving sticks'."

"Hurry...hurry up Ding Bang?"

"That's right, you can probably guess what it means just by hearing the name. A room where the bed is placed in a 'piercing heart' position can cause discord between husband and wife and unrest in the family if lived in for a long time. In severe cases, it may even cause miscarriage and affect a woman's fertility."

Their suspicions were confirmed, and the faces of the men present turned green.

Zou Hanming looked indignant and gritted his teeth, saying, "No wonder that woman doesn't live in this house herself, but insists on giving it to Anquan. She can't wait to have a child and divide the inheritance, but she wants Anquan to be childless. She really is the most vicious woman, her heart is too wicked!"
