Song Wenna clapped her hands: "It looks just like it!"
Ning Yao patted her head and gave her and her brother Song Wenyuan each a sugar pill.
"Eat it, it's a sugar pill."
The two younger children exclaimed with delight, "Thank you, Third Young Master!"
"Two clever devils!"
The waiting time was over, and Yun Xiangnan was ready. Standing next to Ning Yao, it was impossible to tell that she was blind.
Despite being thirty-five years old, he looks like he's in his twenties. Standing next to Ning Yao, who is dressed in men's clothing, they look more like siblings.
"Eat this." Ning Yao gave her a pill.
Yun Xiangnan was much more stable than that night. After feeling the touch of her fingertips, she asked, "Do I want to take the sugar pill too?"
Ning Yao chuckled: "Aren't you going to eat?"
Song Wenna quickly exclaimed, "It's really sweet! It's a sugar pill!"
Yun Xiangnan smiled slightly and put the pill in her mouth.
The initial taste is a refreshing sweetness, a very familiar flavor.
Yun Xiangnan opened her mouth slightly in surprise: "This is..."
"Is the sugar pill delicious?" Ning Yao's smiling voice rang out.
Suppressing her surprise, she nodded and echoed Ning Yao's words: "It's delicious, very sweet, like a kind of candy from my hometown."
Ning Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "Let's go, eldest sister. You're mute, but you brought me here today because of the unrest in our ancestral home, so you're looking for a solution."
"We're going to be late if we don't leave now!"
Yun Xiang and Nan Shan nodded, instantly getting into character.
Licheng is exceptionally lively today, with more and more people the further west you go.
"Looks like quite a few people have come to join in the fun!"
"I didn't find anything particularly groundbreaking about what this person said back then, so why are so many people flocking to it?"
Yun Xiangnan, playing the role of a mute girl, naturally couldn't answer her question.
But there were plenty of people around who could answer.
"This young master is not from Licheng, is he?"
Ning Yao looked up and saw a man who was a head taller than her speaking.
"Brother, you have a good eye. I am from Qingzhou City and have been doing business in Licheng these past few days. I've come here today to join in the fun."
The man had an air of knowing: "No wonder. What you've heard are just rumors. The real truth goes far beyond that prediction from back then!"
Ning Yao feigned surprise, her face full of curiosity, and said, "Oh? It seems you know something else, brother? Why don't you tell me? Let me broaden my horizons!"
That person was also someone who couldn't keep a secret; once someone struck up a conversation with him, he would blurt out everything.
"Asserting the house is one thing, but there are other things as well."
Ning Yao pretended to be in a hurry and kept asking the man while holding his arm.
Perhaps Ning Yao's actions pleased him, so he told her some things that were unknown to others.
"Didn't they say that the house would exchange its fortune with the owner and ensure the owner's great wealth and prosperity? That's just an excuse. In reality, there's something else in the house that caused this phenomenon. The master suppressed that thing in the ancestral hall of the house to make it atone for its sins!"
"It's strange, but since then, although no one has lived in that house for long, everything has been peaceful. However, recently a stranger moved in, and he said it was haunted and ran away in a panic!"
"But I do believe it, since that house is indeed unclean. However, only his family would be so scared that they wet themselves and scrambled to their deaths. It's hilarious!"
"Who are you calling scared out of their wits? Who are you calling scrambling to their feet? If you dare spout any more nonsense, I'll tear your mouth off!"
A familiar voice came from the other side of the man.
Ning Yao raised an eyebrow and looked over; it turned out to be an acquaintance!
It turns out that they were the ones who were repeatedly dissatisfied!
The man wasn't intimidated by Chen Xuanrong at all; instead, he frowned in annoyance: "Who are you? Did I say anything to you? What's your hurry?"
Chen Xuanrong instantly realized that the other party hadn't named anyone, but she had been too impatient and jumped in to assume it was about her.
A feeling of utter despair instantly welled up inside me:
Before she could leave, the man seemed to realize something and asked teasingly, "You're not the one renting that house, are you?"
The man then glanced at her up and down, making Chen Xuanrong feel extremely embarrassed.
"What are you looking at!"
The man said calmly, "Although you have a bad temper, young lady, it's just bad luck that you encountered this kind of thing. It's normal for you to be scared, there's no need to feel ashamed."
Chen Xuanrong wasn't stupid; she naturally sensed that the man's words weren't pleasant to hear.
Knowing her personality, she definitely won't let this go easily.
When she caught sight of Ning Yao and the other person, her anger flared up again.
"What are you looking at! Watch your eyes!"
Ning Yao's face immediately darkened: "Judging from your volatile temper, Miss, are you suffering from some kind of depression? Instead of wasting your time causing trouble for others, you should go see a doctor as soon as possible, lest your condition worsen and become incurable!"
Although Yun Xiangnanshan couldn't see, she could still sense the general direction and situation.
After being rebuked by Ning Yao, Chen Xuanrong's face turned as red as a pig's liver, and she felt extremely wronged.
"You two gentlemen have gone too far. How can you bully a weak woman like me like this? Is this the kind of magnanimity you have?"
The man and Ning Yao exchanged a glance, both amazed at how quickly she changed her expression.
"Xuanrong, what happened?"
Another familiar voice reached Ning Yao's ears, and Ning Yao was delighted; it was another acquaintance.
Jiang Shilin saw Chen Xuanrong arguing with two men from afar.
One of the men's back views resembled someone, but upon closer inspection, it turned out not to be him.
"Brother Lin, I don't know why those three insulted me. They said we crawled and knelt away from that house, and they said I was sick and told me to see a doctor. She..."
"She looked at me with hostility, as if I were going to steal these two young masters away..."
“Brother Lin…” Ning Yao hugged Jiang Shilin’s arm tightly, sobbing.
Yun Xiangnanshan didn't say a word from beginning to end, yet she still got a bucket of cold water poured on her, which opened Ning Yao and the man's eyes.
The man said with undisguised disgust, "You're really good at twisting the facts, aren't you? The news about that house being rented out and haunted is all over town now. Why can't people talk about it? Can you control what everyone says?"
"I, Zhou Yan, have truly broadened my horizons. If you ask me, if you hadn't insisted on jumping out and identifying yourself, who would have known it was you? You're quite an interesting woman!"
Chen Xuanrong's face paled, and she said firmly, "Gossiping about others behind their backs is very impolite in Lingyue. It seems that you, young master, are also an impolite person!"
Zhou Yan was speechless for a moment.
Ning Yao sneered, "The people of Lingyue are so polite; it's truly an eye-opener. This young master sees that you, Miss, also come from a prominent family, so why do you have such a petty air about you?"
Chen Xuanrong jumped up immediately: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I'm talking nonsense? You keep saying that Ling Yue is polite, but may I ask if you used a single word of politeness just now?"
