Yan Ning said calmly, "You'll get better if you drink it, otherwise the bad luck will stay in your body and affect your life."
Ye Yunxiu hesitated for a moment, then took the talisman water and obediently drank it.
Yan Ning made another bowl of talisman water, placed it on the table, and said, "This bowl is for your husband to drink when he gets home."
Ye Yunxiu nodded seriously, "Okay, thank you, Master."
Yan Ning then pointed to the rotting flesh on the ground and said calmly:
"You should have someone take this outside and burn it, then bury the ashes in the ground. I won't burn it here; the smell is too strong."
"Okay, okay, I will definitely do as I say."
Ye Yunxiu nodded, paused for a moment, and then asked again:
"By the way, who buried this harmful thing?"
Yan Ning paused for a moment, then spoke, her voice carrying a hint of coldness:
"This person is your best friend, Fang Qiu."
"impossible!"
Ye Yunxiu's eyes widened in disbelief, and her voice unconsciously rose an octave:
"How could Fang Qiu do such a thing? We've been friends for over ten years, and our relationship has always been excellent. Master, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Yan Ning smiled and said calmly, "Whether it's her or not, we'll know when we get there. Her house shouldn't be too far away."
Ye Yunxiu nodded, "That's right, it's in the same neighborhood next door. We live close by, so we often visit each other."
To verify the truth, the three immediately took a car to the residential area where Fang Qiu was.
Soon, they arrived at the front door of Fang Qiu's house. Ye Yunxiu felt a little uneasy as she gently pressed the doorbell.
A moment later, the door opened.
A haggard-looking woman appeared at the door.
When she saw it was Ye Yunxiu, she was first surprised, but then quickly recovered and greeted her with a smile:
"Yunxiu, why are you here so late? You didn't even tell me beforehand... cough cough."
Fang Qiu's face was ashen, her eyes were dark and swollen, her lips were bloodless, and she couldn't help but cough twice.
Ye Yunxiu paused for a moment, then forced a smile and said:
"I just suddenly wanted to see you, so I brought Xiyue and her friends over. I hope I didn't bother you."
"No, no, come in quickly."
Fang Qiu smiled and invited the three of them in. The room was dimly lit and had a faint smell of medicine.
Ye Yunxiu frowned, still unable to believe that Fang Qiu was the one who harmed her. She asked with concern:
"Xiao Qiu, what's wrong? Why are you coughing again? Wasn't your old ailment already cured?"
Fang Qiu sat down, took a sip of water, smiled, shook his head, and said:
"It was fine before, but I don't know what happened today, it suddenly started coughing again. It's nothing, it's an old problem, it will definitely get better in a few days."
Ye Yunxiu lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment, and didn't know how to bring up the matter.
If we wrongly accuse an old friend, then our friendship of more than ten years will be ruined.
"Splat".
A crisp sound suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned around in confusion and saw Yan Ning standing next to the table, covering her mouth in surprise.
There was a broken ceramic doll at her feet.
Yan Ning feigned surprise and exclaimed, "Oh dear, I just wanted to take a look, I'm sorry, Auntie!"
"It's alright, it's alright, I'll clean it up!"
Fang Qiu's expression changed, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes. She quickly stood up and walked to the broken ceramic doll.
Just as Fang Qiu was about to bend down, Yan Ning preemptively picked up a piece of paper from the ceramic shards.
She said in a clear voice, "Hey, what's this? Why does it have my birth date and time written on it?"
Fang Qiu was shocked and raised her voice, "Child, don't move around! Give it back to me right now!"
But Yan Ning had already run ahead of her, reaching Ye Yunxiu and handing her the note.
Ye Yunxiu took the note, and saw that her birth date and time were clearly written on it.
What's even more outrageous is that there's a line of small print below it.
He died of late-stage lung cancer.
Ye Yunxiu's hand holding the note trembled slightly. She looked up at Fang Qiu and questioned him loudly:
"Fang Qiu, we've known each other for so many years, and I've always considered you my best friend. How could you treat me like this, asking me to die in your place!"
Fang Qiu's eyes widened, and she hurriedly protested, "No, no, this is just something I wrote casually for fun, it doesn't count!"
Ye Yunxiu took a deep breath and continued, "If that doesn't count, then what about that thing in my yard?"
"There's a placenta inside, along with my husband's and my birth dates!"
"When Yan Ning told me, I didn't believe it was you. I never expected it really was you. You've really chilled my heart!"
"Fine, since you already know everything, I'm too lazy to pretend anymore."
Fang Qiu remained silent for a moment, then lowered her eyes and let out a cold laugh.
Then, she raised her head resentfully, looked at Ye Yunxiu, and said coldly:
"Ye Yunxiu, do you know? I've always hated you so much."
"In college, we were always inseparable, participating in all sorts of activities. But every time, you were always first and I was second. Even in exams, you always scored a few points higher than me."
Even the senior I like confessed to you. I really don't know, what's wrong with me? Why am I always just there to make you look good?
"Later, you married a good husband and your life got better and better, while I not only divorced my husband, but also got lung cancer!"
“Every time you show off your daily life to me, I feel really unbalanced. Why is it that you have everything?”
"You're still pretending to hope I recover soon, it's disgusting!"
Instead of trying to persuade me to recover soon, you and your husband might as well die in my place!
Ye Yunxiu looked at her in disbelief, and said with a choked voice:
"You, you actually think that way about me! I never meant to brag."
“I know you like that senior from university. He confessed to me and I immediately rejected him. I even scolded him and asked him why he kept you hanging on and made you feel bad.”
"After you got sick, I even gave you 50,000 yuan for treatment. Why do you think of me like this?"
Fang Qiu burst into laughter, glaring fiercely at Ye Yunxiu, and cursed:
"You're putting on that superior, all-powerful act again, how disgusting! I never want your charity, I just want your life!"
Ye Yunxiu stared at Fang Qiu with her mouth agape, speechless for a moment.
At this moment, Yan Ning stepped forward and said to Ye Yunxiu:
“Aunt Ye, don’t argue with her. There’s no hope for this kind of person. She hates you. Even if you give her money, she’ll think you’re showing off.”
"Yes, Auntie, let's ignore her and go back quickly."
Shen Xiyue also stepped forward and took Ye Yunxiu's arm to comfort her.
Fang Qiu glared at them fiercely and said loudly:
"Get out, all of you get out! Don't pollute my eyes... cough cough cough."
