The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 29: Gratitude and enmity
Qu Ziwei quickly replied, "Yes, Aunt Liu. She's a distant relative of my grandmother. She's divorced and has a daughter. She's been living with us for many years."

Aunt Liu was highly trusted by my mother; she was the household manager. Even her daughter's overseas studies were paid for by our family.

To say that Madam Qu trusted a servant would be an understatement; rather, it would be that Madam Qu was giving face to the old lady of the family. However, Yun Ran did not intend to get involved in the intricacies of wealthy families.

"Your elder brother and sister-in-law don't have children because they are incompatible with each other. You should ask your brother and sister-in-law to move out and live on their own. They will have children soon."

Qu Ziwei was stunned. This was the first time she had heard of a family without children being incompatible with their servants, and that the family was being asked to move out.

However, the enthusiastic bystanders felt that these words sounded somewhat familiar.

"Hey, isn't this a bit similar to a scene from a melodramatic prime-time TV series I watched before?"

That daughter-in-law was married up, but she never had children and was mistreated by her husband's family. Her own family couldn't stand up for her either.

Later, she ran away, and her husband ran away too. And guess what? The couple stayed away for half a year, and she got pregnant. They were overjoyed.

The daughter-in-law's family immediately sprang into action, going to her husband's family to cause trouble. The argument escalated into a fight, and they accidentally damaged the storage cabinet.

It turned out that the reason this daughter-in-law couldn't conceive was because the household maid had been bribed to poison her soup, preventing her from getting pregnant!

Immediately, someone chimed in: "I think I've seen this before. Wasn't the one who bribed the maid the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law's niece? Because she also liked the daughter-in-law's husband!"

"What a coincidence! How could something so absurd happen in real life?"

"You don't know anything! This is called art coming from life!"

"That's nothing. There's something even more outrageous, let me tell you..."

……

Qu Ziwei was a little numb, and her clear eyes, which had previously revealed a hint of foolishness, showed a look of shock.

Yun Ran's lips twitched. She clearly didn't want to get involved in the gossip and troubles of wealthy families.

That's none of her business; she won't take the blame for all that messy karma.

Surprisingly, this kind of gossipy and sensational story is so popular with the public, and everyone is discussing it enthusiastically.

Qu Ziwei watched Yun Ran speed up her packing up, not bothering to ask her if what these people were guessing was true.

He quickly turned around and called home.

After packing her things, Yunran was about to go get something nice to eat, but she forgot that the ginseng fruit was still waiting to settle accounts with her!
[Host, tell me honestly, if I hadn't bound myself to you to save you, you would have escaped this fate too, right?]

Yun Ran's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she'd been exposed.

"Um... listen to me..."

[I won't listen! I won't listen! You liar! You made me think you were going to die, I used up most of my energy to save you, and I'm even bound to you now! I'm so wronged, even Dou E wasn't as wronged as me...]

Yunran: ...

When you took out that Thunder Pearl before, I didn't suspect you at all. It's only because you took out the Three Pure Bells that I doubted you.

I had no idea you had such tricks up your sleeve! You liar! Instead of working hard to accumulate merit and give me back my energy, waaaaah... uh (burp)...

She's supposed to be the next abbot of Qingfeng Temple, so it's normal for her to have a treasure like the Mustard Seed Space. Why are you making such a fuss? But it's already ridiculous for a system to be so angry that it cried, and now it's even hiccuping. Yun Ran thought to herself, "This is truly an eye-opener."

"You can't blame me for this, okay? I didn't blame you for binding me randomly and dragging me into this book world. We're even now."

No, unless you diligently accumulate merit to repay me, I'll still cry!

"Fine, fine, I'll save up, okay? Just shut up, your crying is giving me a headache!"

Unbeknownst to Yunran, the Qu family was in complete chaos after Qu Ziwei made the call back.

When Mr. and Mrs. Qu realized that they might have been poisoned by their maid, they couldn't stay calm and immediately called the police to report that someone had poisoned them.

When the police car drove into the Qu family's house, the neighbors were eager to rush over to see what was going on.

Unfortunately, the Qu family's garden is quite large, and from the outside, it's impossible to see what's happening inside.

It is said that professional matters should be left to professionals. The police quickly found evidence, but they still needed to conduct tests to find out what the powder was.

The Qu couple, both in their thirties, broke down in tears, a scene that terrified the household servants.

The next day, Qu Ziwei appeared before Yun Ran with dark circles under her eyes, looking half-dead, which almost startled Yun Ran.

"What did you do last night?!"

“My house was in complete chaos yesterday. My grandma fainted from anger, my mom almost pulled Aunt Liu's hair out, and my sister-in-law's family even took her away overnight…”

Since she was, after all, her client, Yunran was about to say a few words of comfort, but then she heard Qu Ziwei continue.

"Aunt Liu's daughter took a fancy to my family's wealth. She was still young when my brother got married. I never expected her to be so vicious. She drugged my sister-in-law and my brother at the same time."

Even if my brother found someone else, he still couldn't have children. Now that she's back from studying abroad, she's still a department manager in my family's company, and my dad values ​​her highly.

The mother and daughter not only urged my grandmother to find a birth chart that would be auspicious for my brother's fertility, but also bribed our family doctor and the master my grandmother trusted..."

As she spoke, tears streamed down Qu Ziwei's face, and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

"How could they be so wicked! Our family has done them such a great favor!"

It's normal for a sixteen-year-old girl, who has been well protected by her family, to feel distressed and broken down when she first faces such an ugly side of human nature.

Yun Ran remained calm; she had seen far more evil than anyone else.

"Haven't you heard the saying 'a little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment'? Besides, they have witnessed your family's wealth firsthand, and even enjoyed a portion of it. How could they be content if they didn't seize it?"

It's like a stray dog ​​that gets a bite of a meat bun; it won't be grateful, it will just stare fiercely at the other meat buns in your hand.

A rich girl like you is seen as a tempting target by others. If you don't want to be taken advantage of, you'd better be more careful in the future.

Those who want to avoid decades of hard work will, given the opportunity, use every means at their disposal to cling tightly to anyone they can associate with.

Qu Ziwei trembled slightly upon hearing this, clearly frightened by what she heard.

I reflexively wanted to refute it, but I didn't know what to say.
