"No, this should be... the third failure."
The first failure was when she was still in her mother's womb, the second was at the Jiang family's house... and the third was at Youlan Hospital...
"Give me an explanation, Li Laogui."
The clean, brand-new sneakers stepped on the back of Li Laogui's hand, who was lying on the ground trembling. Li Laogui seemed to have suffered a great injury, and his face became particularly ferocious due to the pain.
He was drenched in sweat and trembling as he cried out in protest, "Young master, it's really not that I'm too useless! It's that Nan Yuanman, she's no ordinary child! She's even more wicked than me!"
"She not only had a powerful zombie by her side, but also some kind of spirit, a demon, and a magical artifact with a spirit!"
Old Li became increasingly heartbroken as he spoke: "All the vengeful ghosts I painstakingly raised to deal with her were killed! This time, I even wasted one of my substitute puppets to escape!"
Not only that, he was also injured and even used a piece of Tai Sui meat! This operation resulted in a heavy loss for him!
He gritted his teeth in hatred: "Young master, it must have been the people from the Sanqing Temple who made the move! Otherwise, a child like her wouldn't have so many things!"
The person he addressed as "Young Master" remained silent, seemingly scrutinizing him and pondering whether his words were true or false.
Old Li was covered in cold sweat. He lay on the ground, his forehead pressed tightly against the earth, and said in a strained voice, "Young master, I did manage to do something this time. I... I sent a spy to her side. When the time is right, the spy will help us get rid of her."
"Please, young master, give me another chance. This time, I promise I won't fail!"
The room fell silent, and the atmosphere became unusually heavy, as if a mountain was pressing down on Li Laogui's back.
His breathing gradually became heavy, and all he could hear was the rapid thumping of his heart.
"Alright." After a long silence, a clear and melodious voice rang out like heavenly music: "I'll give you one last chance."
"I'm leaving Xiao Zhenzi with you. If you still fail even with her help..."
"No, no, no!" Old Li shook his head frantically. "With the young master's help, we will definitely succeed this time!"
"Hopefully so. While dealing with that child, don't forget your primary duty..."
The clear, pleasant voice gave a soft hum, the brand-new sneakers were removed from the back of his hand, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
When Li Laogui looked up, the person was gone, leaving only a clay doll on the ground with a princess-cut hairstyle, wearing a Japanese outfit, with bright red blush on its cheeks and a cute smile on its lips.
He took a deep breath and sat on the ground like a limp rag, trying to calm his tense nerves.
The mud doll stared at him with its black, beady eyes, and the corners of its mouth curled up even more, as if it were mocking him.
Old Li dared not speak out in anger, and had to obediently pick up the mud doll from the ground and carefully place it into the red shrine.
On the other side.
Jiang Huiqin sized up Liu Hui, recalling the news she had heard last night, a strange smile appearing on her face, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you also here to see Master Li?"
Liu Hui glanced at Jiang Huiqin, who looked nearly twenty years older and completely lacked her former dignified and elegant demeanor, and subconsciously asked her, "How did you know?"
As soon as the question left her mouth, she immediately realized what was going on and grabbed Jiang Huiqin's arm excitedly: "You've also come to ask Master Li for medicine, haven't you?"
Oh, right! Jiang Huiqin's son is also dead! She came to Master Li, probably also to ask for medicine!
"So? Did you get the medicine? What was the price you paid for it?"
Jiang Huiqin said meaningfully, "The medicine... of course we got it. As for the price... Master Li will tell you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Hui looked at Zheng Zetao with excitement. Zheng Zetao felt a little more at ease, thanked Jiang Huiqin, and turned to leave.
Jiang Huiqin stood there watching their departing figures. Suddenly, something moved in her pocket, as if someone had kicked her in dissatisfaction. She swayed, quickly regained her senses, and carefully took out a male rag doll from her pocket.
"Don't be angry, son, Mom will be home soon. Do you like that woman? She's younger than me, and the Zheng family is more humane than the Sun family. Why don't you get pregnant with her..."
Jiang Huiqin turned around and muttered to the rag doll while walking unsteadily with her head down.
A sharp male voice, inaudible to ordinary people, rang out: "I don't want it! The Zheng family is no match for the Feng family! I want Feng Jingcheng's body!"
“But the Feng family… I can’t get in touch with them at all…” Jiang Huiqin said with a troubled expression. “Why don’t you try another one? How about the Xiao family? Xiao Qidong is not bad either, he’s very healthy…”

After playing with Feng Jingcheng for a while, Feng Zining took the older and younger children back to the Feng family manor.
Feng Jingcheng stood at the manor gate, looking up at the familiar surroundings, feeling a mix of emotions.
Having received the news, Meng Qingwan was already waiting for them at the door. Nan Yuanman ran happily towards her, calling out, "Auntie Qingwan~"
"Oh, my little Yuanman! I missed you so much!" Meng Qingwan picked up Nan Yuanman and kissed her soft cheeks hard.
Feng Zining nodded politely to her: "Aunt Meng."
Feng Jingcheng awkwardly touched the tip of his nose and greeted him as well.
"Zining and Jingcheng are back too! Come on in! Your uncle is waiting for you!" Meng Qingwan greeted them with a smile, as if there was no distance between them.
Feng Zining gave a soft "hmm" and followed her into the manor, while Nan Yuanman whispered happily to Meng Qingwan.
Meng Qingwan provided plenty of emotional support, frequently exclaiming in surprise, "Wow! Our Yuanman is so amazing! They're really too stupid. If it weren't for Yuanman, they would have all been eaten by the mirror!"
Nan Yuanman blushed with pride at the praise, a silly grin spreading across her face as she proudly puffed out her chest: "Of course! I'm going to be the world's best coffin maker!"
Meng Qingwan was so delighted by her proud little face that she grabbed her cheek and kissed her repeatedly.
They returned home laughing and joking, only to be greeted by Feng Congqian, who had just finished a video conference.
Nan Yuanman greeted him with a grin, "Uncle Feng!"
Feng Congqian responded and walked slowly towards her, his gaze falling on Feng Zining: "You're back?"
Feng Zining looked somewhat embarrassed and lowered his voice, "Uncle..."
Feng Jingcheng touched the tip of his nose and spoke first: "Ahem, yeah! What, you're not welcoming me?"
Feng Zining couldn't resist stepping on his foot. Feng Congqian looked at Feng Jingcheng's pained expression and chuckled, "Of course you're welcome."
"Your rooms are usually tidied up by the housekeeper, so go and rest for a bit."
With her father around, Nan Yuanman forgot all about her two older brothers, Feng Zining and Feng Jingcheng, and excitedly ran up to him with her arms outstretched.
Feng Congqian skillfully picked her up, and Nan Yuanman rested her little head against his. She opened the conversation with Feng Xingchi on her watch, which contained a link to a shop that he had sent her to buy Tai Sui meat.
"Uncle Feng, could you take a look at this shop for me..."
Before she could finish speaking, her watch vibrated again, and the three characters "Jiang Lixuan" appeared on the screen.
