"Six more?"

Yun Ziqian's voice tightened, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Yun Zhengbang, leaning on his cane, strode closer. When he saw the white bones wrapped in white cloth, his face instantly darkened.

He had lived for over seventy years and was not unfamiliar with underhanded methods, but he had never imagined that anyone would target the Yun family, let alone use such a vicious method.

"Xiao Jin," he said, his voice heavy with worry, bending down to look at the little bundle of joy, "what on earth is this thing? Could it really... harm our whole family?"

"It's the Seven Fiends Annihilation Formation," Xiao Jin said, squatting down and picking up a piece of bone. The chubby boy pointed to the pit she had dug. "There are seven locations in total, each in a different direction from the villa. They were buried there for two years, specifically to absorb your good fortune."

She tilted her little face up, her dark eyes looking at everyone:

"If the family's good fortune is drained, then illness, accidents, and financial losses will occur, and slowly... eventually, they won't even be able to afford food."

She spoke casually, but it sent chills down one's spine.

In her eyes, these seven arrays are like seven different afternoon teas, one for Monday, another for Tuesday, and a different one every day of the week.

As Xiao Jin spoke, she shrugged and sighed, resting her chin on her hands, "What a wicked bastard."

She activated the formation; that villain will definitely sense it and will surely make another move.

Then she'll have to deal with the bad guys and help seven idiots.

"Oh dear, Xiao Jin, you've worked so hard," Xiao Jin exclaimed, pretending to wipe away non-existent sweat.

"No...it's impossible," Yun Mingyue stared intently at the white bone in Xiao Jin's hand, her face deathly pale.

This brat actually dug something up. Could it be that Xuanxuan isn't her son?

Yun Mingyue's eyes reddened at the thought, and she gritted her teeth as she said, "You must have conspired together!"

"They buried something beforehand, playing a trick!"

After she finished yelling, she turned and ran into the house.

Yun Ziqian was the first to react; a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes, and he murmured:

"There really was something buried underground, so what they said was true... So Aunt's child really wasn't hers..."

Yun Zhengbang, leaning on his cane, pressed one hand to his chest, breathing rapidly. His mind was filled with the words from his elder brother's letter, and his voice trembled as he spoke:

"A misfortune for our family, a misfortune for our family..."

The atmosphere was somber, but Yun Ziang alone remained cheerful.

He ran excitedly to Xiao Jin's side, squatted down, and began to whine, "Thank goodness you're here, little auntie!"

"You're our family's lucky star!"

He rubbed his hands together. "So when are we going to dig out the remaining six?"

"If you don't dig it out, your adorable grandnephew won't dare to sleep."

Yun Zi'ang, with a mournful face, grabbed Xiao Jin's arm, "Little Auntie~"

Xiao Jin laughed, coaxed. "Don't worry, grand-nephew, I'll make sure you get a good night's sleep!"

"I'll dig one a day!"

Good things should be eaten sparingly! One a day will last for seven days!

"Huh?" Yun Ziang pretended to wipe away a couple of tears. "Then we'll still have to sleep on bones, won't we?"

With a wave of her small hand, Xiao Jin said boldly, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Jin is giving you a talisman, so no evil spirits can get close to you!"

"Besides, don't you still have the treasure Xiao Jin gave you?"

Yun Zi'ang's eyes lit up. "The talisman is great!"

He pressed his advantage, saying, "Could I have one of those wonderfully fragrant sachets too?"

"Sure," Xiao Jin smiled and agreed without hesitation.

"I...I also want a talisman," Yun Ziqian interjected upon seeing this.

The two, one big and one small, were chatting enthusiastically when they both turned to look at Yun Ziqian.

Yun Ziqian looked slightly embarrassed and awkwardly pushed up his glasses.

Xiao Jin's smile faded, and she turned her head away while letting out a heavy "humph," clearly still looking angry.

She hasn't forgiven her great-nephew yet!

Seeing his brother get the short end of the stick, Yun Zi'ang burst into laughter, "Hahaha, Yun Ziqian, you've finally met your match!"

Looking at Xiao Jin, Yun Zhengbang felt that most of the gloom in his heart had been dispelled.

With Xiao Jin here, all difficulties will be easily resolved.

Thinking of this, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief and took the opportunity to ask, "Little Jin, could I have one?"

Xiao Jin immediately put on a smiling face, "Sure, sure."

Yun Mingyuan, who was standing nearby, also came over, but before he could even speak, he was met with a glare from Xiao Jin.

He awkwardly touched his nose and exchanged a glance with his eldest son, Yun Ziqian.

Oh no, they've all offended this little devil!

Just as Yun Mingyuan was about to say something, he heard Yun Zhengbang cough heavily.

Yun Zhengbang gave Yun Mingyuan and Yun Ziqian a look, "Go, go see her."

Yun Zhengbang didn't say who it was, but they all knew it was Yun Mingyue.

"Understood, Dad," Yun Mingyuan said solemnly, turning back to his room.

Yun Ziqian had no choice but to follow.

Yun Zhengbang didn't say anything more. He walked over to Xiao Jin with his cane and spoke in an exceptionally gentle tone: "Xiao Jin, are you tired? Come on, Grandpa will take you back to your room. We'll have them make you whatever you want to eat."

Xiao Jin's eyes lit up at the mention of food. "Let's eat!"

"Xiao Jin loves eating the most!"

Although she had just ingested a lot of black energy, she was still not full.

She stood up, casually tossed the bones back into the wooden box, patted the dirt off her hands, and shook her head: "Little Jin doesn't get tired at all digging up broken things."

"But we can't dig anymore today, the yang energy is dissipating quickly, we'll have to wait until noon tomorrow to finish."

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say." Yun Zhengbang reached out to hold her hand, but was afraid she wouldn't agree, so he tentatively extended his hand.

Xiao Jin tilted her head and, very considerately, put her chubby little hand inside. It was so soft and warm that it made the old man's heart tremble.

The two, one big and one small, walked into the villa. Yun Ziang quickly followed behind, carrying a shovel and muttering to himself as he went:

"Little Miss, do you need cinnabar and yellow paper to draw your talisman? I have both at home! No, I'll have someone go and buy the best right now!"

"No need," Xiao Jin swung her short legs, "I have everything in my bag."

Her large bag contained not only snacks but also talismans and ritual implements prepared by her master—it was quite complete.

-

On the other side, Yun Mingyuan and Yun Ziqian pushed open the door to Yun Mingyue's room and saw Yun Mingyue sitting on the bed crying, while Lu Zixuan huddled beside her with snacks, not daring to breathe.

"Why are you crying?" Yun Mingyuan frowned and walked over. "Dad sent us to come and see you."

"Brother, do you think what that child said is true?" Yun Mingyue looked up, her eyes red. "Xuanxuan, he..."

When Yun Mingyuan recalled what he had just experienced, he lost his confidence.

Yun Ziqian remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Aunt, why don't we get a paternity test done? The results will make everything clear."

"Maybe they were switched at birth in the hospital."

"Impossible!" Yun Mingyue's voice suddenly rose, then fell back down. "Xuanxuan is my biological son..."

That was her son, whom she had raised for five years.

Yun Mingyuan's face darkened. The best-case scenario now was that the babies had been switched at birth; what if it was something else...?

The Yun family will absolutely not give up!

"Let's get it tested right now," Yun Mingyuan said firmly.

Yun Mingyue was silent for a moment before saying, "I want to go home."

"Mingyue!" Yun Mingyuan was somewhat angry, thinking that Yun Mingyue was still stubbornly clinging to her delusions.

"Brother," Yun Mingyue said, after venting her emotions and crying, she calmed down a bit, "I didn't say I wouldn't get it tested."

"I want to verify not only my relationship with Xuanxuan, but also Xuanxuan's relationship with Lu Peng."

As Yun Mingyue spoke, she couldn't help but clench her fists.
