Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 19 Scarecrow

Arriving at the villa complex near Wang Hejia's residence, the car stopped at a villa. Yang Nianqing got out and looked around. The feng shui of Wang Hejia's residence was excellent. Feng shui divides qi into vital energy, dead energy, yin energy, earth energy, ground energy, riding qi, gathering qi, receiving qi, qi veins, and qi mother, etc. It believes that whether one is alive or dead, only by obtaining qi can one have auspicious omens. Therefore, the purpose of feng shui is to find and utilize vital energy. A place with vital energy should be sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, with flowing water, lush vegetation, singing birds and dancing butterflies, and fragrant flowers.

The Wang family's house was situated on a perfectly square plot of land, with flat ground on all sides. Living there would surely bring them wealth, prosperity, and many descendants. Yang Nianqing examined the house and found no problems with its feng shui. Unsure if the issue lay with the house itself, Yang Nianqing said to Wang He, "Your house has excellent feng shui; there's no problem. Let's go inside and take a look." With that, Yang Nianqing produced a palm-sized compass. Everything in the world is divided into yin and yang; malevolent energy is yin. Yang Nianqing used the compass to find the source of the malevolent energy emanating from Wang He.

Wang He brought Yang Nianqing and Fan Ruichen into the house. Wang's parents happened to be home at that moment. They were puzzled to see Yang Nianqing; their son had never brought a girl home before. Could this be Xiao He's girlfriend? They hadn't considered that Yang Nianqing was Fan Ruichen's girlfriend, as they, as elders, knew that Fan Ruichen disliked women. Sun Yaqing frowned, thinking to herself that her son was secretly dating, even bringing his girlfriend home? The girl looked no more than sixteen or seventeen. Sun Yaqing, being more traditional, believed that early relationships were wrong. "Xiao Chen is here too. And Xiao He, who is this girl?" Sun Yaqing's eyes narrowed slightly. If this kid said she was his girlfriend, he deserved a beating. Having such a young girlfriend—was she even an adult?

Wang He could tell from his mother's expression that she had misunderstood, so he quickly explained to avoid his mother saying anything that might offend Yang Nianqing: "Mom, this is A-Chen's girlfriend, Yang Nianqing."

Hearing his son say that Yang Nianqing was Fan Ruichen's girlfriend, Wang Yong was very surprised. Fan Ruichen's son, who hated women so much, actually had a girlfriend. It's strange that there are always strange things happening every year, but this year there are especially many. Fan Ruichen's mother, Zhang Meixin, was her best friend, and the two families had a very good relationship. Zhang Meixin used to often tell her that Fan Ruichen would be lonely until the end. She didn't expect that he would have a girlfriend so early. Because of her love for Yang Nianqing, Sun Yaqing found Yang Nianqing more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Hello, Aunt and Uncle." Yang Nianqing greeted the Wang couple.

"Hello, come on, have a seat." Sun Yaqing pulled Yang Nianqing down to sit, squeezing Wang Yong aside. Wang Yong shook his head helplessly and sat down on the other side. The more Sun Yaqing looked at Yang Nianqing, the more familiar she seemed. "Little girl, you're really pretty."

Yang Nianqing blushed: "You flatter me too much."

"No, by the way, what brings you and Xiao Chen here today?" Sun Yaqing asked curiously when she noticed the compass in Yang Nianqing's hand.

Upon hearing this, Wang He, who was reading Yang Nianqing's face, looked at her questioningly, asking if she could tell him. Yang Nianqing nodded; that was her profession, and there was nothing she couldn't say. Wang He told his parents the whole story, and Yang Nianqing added some details, which completely overturned their worldviews. It felt like a scene from a TV drama, but seeing that her son's expression didn't seem like he was joking, Sun Yaqing decided to trust him this time. After all, it concerned her son's life; it was truly extraordinary that her son had emerged unscathed from such a major car accident. Sun Yaqing asked with some worry, "So, does that mean my son was still murdered? And he had some kind of evil aura on him?" Wang Yong, sitting to the side, was very puzzled. Were these young people watching too much TV?
Yang Nianqing nodded: "Yes, I have examined his face. He has lived a peaceful and smooth life and should not have encountered a life-or-death calamity. However, his face suddenly changed yesterday, which is abnormal. Although he has now avoided the life-or-death calamity, there is still a trace of evil aura on his face. If we do not take care of it, he will still face a calamity. It is only a matter of time."

Wang Yong glanced at his son's face and said, "He seems perfectly normal, just like usual."

Yang Nianqing said somewhat helplessly, "Of course you can't see it, since you're neither Taoist nor Buddhist." Fearing that the Wang couple wouldn't believe him and wouldn't take it seriously, Yang Nianqing took out a Spirit Eye Talisman and said, "This Spirit Eye Talisman can temporarily open the Yin-Yang Eyes of ordinary people, but the effect only lasts for half an hour."

Wang He was dumbfounded. How could such a simple talisman have such power? Suddenly, something occurred to him, and Wang He quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, does that mean that using this talisman can also allow me to see ghosts?" He felt a chill run down his spine.

Seeing Wang He's somewhat frightened expression, Yang Nianqing nodded: "That's certainly possible, but don't worry, your house is quite clean, there are no ghosts."

Sun Yaqing and Wang Yong were somewhat skeptical; the idea of ​​having the ability to see ghosts and spirits was too far-fetched. They found it hard to accept, given their decades-long belief in science.

Yang Nianqing took out a lighter to light the talisman, but Wang He shouted, "Hey! Hey! Hey! Sister-in-law, why don't you just flick the talisman with your spiritual power like in the movies? That's so cool!"

Yang Nianqing rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think I'm acting in a TV show? Do you think spiritual energy is easy to cultivate now?" After coming out of the secret realm, she found that cultivation in the real world was too difficult. Spiritual energy was too thin, making it hard to cultivate, open up meridians, and store spiritual energy. Fortunately, her current meridians could store a lot of spiritual energy, and she recovered relatively quickly. If she hadn't cultivated in the secret realm for so long, she probably wouldn't even be able to draw a simple peace talisman. So why waste spiritual energy? It would be better to use that little bit of spiritual energy to draw a few more talismans.

Feeling rebuffed, Wang He silently wept inwardly. His parents looked at him with disdain; this unfortunate child must have watched too many ghost and zombie movies. Yang Nianqing lit a talisman and circled it around the head of the fourth person. As the talisman burned out, a wisp of smoke drifted into their eyes, forcing them to close them.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now," Yang Nianqing said.

The four opened their eyes but felt nothing had changed, which made them feel inexplicably awkward. Wang He wondered if his sister-in-law had made a mistake. Was it too much to ask that one talisman could open the eyes of four people? Just as Wang He was about to speak, he heard his mother exclaim in surprise.

"Xiao He! Your face!" Sun Yaqing, Wang Yong, and Fan Ruichen could now clearly see a wisp of black energy moving between Wang He's eyebrows. Sun Yaqing was terrified and restless. This was the first time she had actually seen any evil energy. She hadn't expected that what Yang Nianqing said was true. Wouldn't her son be in danger? Thinking of this, Sun Yaqing was so panicked that tears welled up in her eyes.

Wang He found a mirror. In the mirror, a wisp of black energy, like a maggot, wriggled and crawled around his eyebrows, looking extremely eerie. Wang He was so frightened that he couldn't speak. This was too terrifying; his heart couldn't take it. Having read countless horror novels online, Wang He instantly imagined a hundred different scenarios of his own gruesome death.

Wang Yong looked serious. Although he was also worried about his son, he was calmer than Sun Yaqing. "Nianqing, could you please help me see if there's anything wrong with this house?"

Yang Nianqing nodded in agreement: "Okay!" As long as the Wang family couple took it seriously and didn't obstruct her, that would be fine.

Yang Nianqing walked around the Wang family's house with a compass. There was nothing wrong with the feng shui of the furniture, but there was a dark aura. Fan Ruichen and the others had all seen this dark aura. This was evil energy, but strangely, this evil energy only targeted Wang He and did not harm Wang Yong and his wife. Yang Nianqing told Wang Yong and his wife about this discovery. Wang Yong's eyes were dark and filled with danger. The fact that it only targeted his son meant that someone had deliberately set this up. It was best not to let him know who it was, otherwise he would definitely make that person die a terrible death.

Yang Nianqing's compass needle suddenly started shaking wildly. She looked up and saw a teddy bear about half her height. She handed the compass to Fan Ruichen and asked him to hold it for her. Then she picked up the teddy bear and stared at it for a long time.

"Sister-in-law, is there something wrong with this bear? It shouldn't be, right? It's a gift from my brother-in-law to my sister, and it's been sitting at home for a long time."

Yang Nianqing pondered. The compass indicated that the malevolent energy was coming from the teddy bear, but the teddy bear was ordinary and did not seem to have any malevolent energy. After thinking for a moment, Yang Nianqing said to Wang He, "Give me a pair of scissors."

Seeing that Yang Nianqing wanted to cut up the teddy bear, Wang He hurriedly said, "No, sister-in-law, my sister treasures this teddy bear so much." His sister really liked this bear, and she would be furious if it were broken.

Yang Nianqing glanced at Wang He with a sly look, "Do you want your life or the bear?"

Sun Yaqing rushed to answer for Wang He, "It's life-threatening, it's definitely life-threatening." Sun Yaqing slapped Wang He hard and glared at him. This unlucky kid, he's already in a life-threatening situation and he still doesn't care about the bear. Sun Yaqing ordered the maid He Ma to get the scissors.

Soon after, Aunt He brought the scissors. Yang Nianqing took the scissors and cut open the back of the teddy bear to reveal snow-white cotton. Yang Nianqing reached in and felt around, and sure enough, she felt something that wasn't cotton. Yang Nianqing took it out and found it was a scarecrow stained with blood. A piece of yellow paper with the birth date and time written on it was pasted on the scarecrow.
