Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 280 Even if you don't die, you'll be scared half to death.

Ms. Qi was shocked and delighted when her suspicions were confirmed.

She was shocked that what she thought would be a fierce battle turned out to be so easy, with her enemy killed without bloodshed. She was overjoyed that her entire family's great revenge had been achieved, and that her poor child could rest in peace if he knew in the afterlife.

"He just said that you found this kid in Liu Tianyuan's room?"

Mr. Liu's expression stiffened slightly: "...Yes, this box was indeed found in a hidden compartment in the bookcase in Tianyuan's room."

That day, Du Anrao reminded them that the ghost's true form wouldn't be too far away from them, so the two of them began to consciously observe the situation near their home, especially the layout of Liu Tianyuan's house, which was only separated from theirs by a wall. After spending several days, they finally determined that the room opposite their house was Liu Tianyuan's bedroom.

After learning about this, the two pretended to visit Liu Tianyuan's room to deliver a gift, and together they managed to get the person away, sneak into Liu Tianyuan's room, find the box, and take the contents out.

Looking back now, it seems unbelievably easy for them to do all of this.

Or perhaps their poor child is protecting them from the unseen world, helping them escape their suffering.

"The main people supporting this brat are your younger brother and sister-in-law. Now that things have been set right, the backlash will also come back to them. In addition, they are the direct beneficiaries of the fate swap. The combination of these two things is enough to kill them and make them die on the spot."

"As for Liu Tianyuan..." Du Anrao paused, "He is an indirect beneficiary, and will also suffer a backlash, only this backlash will come a little later and be less severe than that of his parents. However..."

"but?"

"However, his parents arranged for him to live under the same roof with that little ghost for so many years, intending for him to absorb the ghost's luck and use the ghost's corpse to cover up the truth and deceive the heavens. But a little ghost is still a little ghost, and after spending a long time with it, he will naturally be tainted by its yin energy. Moreover, strictly speaking, the two of them shared the same fate before this."

"This..." Ms. Qi turned to look at her husband. "Is there any explanation for this?"

"To put it this way, from our perspective, your nephew is nothing special, just an ordinary young man. But in the eyes of those things we can't see, he's one of them."

"See...something I can't see?" Qiu Jichen shuddered, a chill running down his spine.

“It’s what you’re thinking of.” Du Anrao gave him a kind smile. “Before, with that brat in his room keeping things in check, those things wouldn’t dare to make a move even if they coveted him. But now, the thing protecting him is gone, isn’t it?”

Qiu Jichen was terrified, yet couldn't help being curious: "What would happen if those things targeted us?"

"Who knows? You know those things love to come out in the middle of the night. Every now and then, one or two of them will come out and have a friendly chat with his companion, or lie on him and whisper some secrets that no one knows."

Ms. Qi and Mr. Liu, who were initially dissatisfied that Liu Tianyuan hadn't suffered the same violent death as his parents, shuddered upon hearing Du Anrao's description, along with the Qiu family mother and son.

"For someone like me who is extremely afraid of ghosts, if something like this happened in the middle of the night, I'd rather just..." die! Even if I didn't die, I'd be scared half to death.

Du Anrao smiled but remained silent. The purpose of Liu Baoxin and his wife arranging the child in Liu Tianyuan's room was certainly not to harm him. It's just that now, because of her involvement, he can only swallow this bitter pill himself.

"Your fate has been changed back, and the matter of the little ghost has been resolved. If you still want children, you should be able to... give it a try later."

Neither of them had any health problems, but they had no children for so many years. One reason was that their destinies had been changed. His younger brother was originally destined to have no descendants, but after his destiny was changed, Mr. Liu took the blame for him, which also affected his luck in having children.

Secondly, it was also because of that little devil. Although raising that thing was not their original intention, in the eyes of Heaven, it was no different from raising it themselves.

Becoming family with someone is a two-way choice. If a child sees that this family is a ruthless family that would raise their child like a monster, why would they dare to go to their house? Do they want to die?
As a result of these two factors, no matter how much medical treatment Mr. Liu and his companion sought, it was to no avail.

Now that the matter has been resolved and everything is back on track, it's not impossible for the two of them to have a child again.

Ms. Qi wasn't particularly excited when she heard this. Instead, she hesitated and asked, "If Lao Liu and I have another child, will it be our original child?"

Du Anrao was taken aback: "I can't guarantee that. Your kinship has been severed, so logically he shouldn't see you again."

Ms. Qi lowered her head in disappointment and didn't say anything more. Mr. Liu wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he was tongue-tied and could only sigh in the end.

“If you really want to make amends to him, donate more money and do good deeds in his name. Although you came in time and prevented him from being tainted by blood, he was still made into an evil object, which damaged his virtue. Do more good deeds in his name to accumulate merit for him. If he is reincarnated in the future, he will be able to be born into a good family.”

Upon hearing Du Anrao's words, Ms. Qi and her husband's eyes lit up: "Great! We'll go back and donate money to do good deeds in the child's name. We just hope that he can be reborn into a good family in his next life, with a harmonious family and a smooth life."

Du Anrao smiled but remained silent. In fact, it would be beneficial for the two of them to donate more money at this time. The old saying that losing money can avert disaster is not without reason. Not to mention that a portion of the money they earned was indeed considered "ill-gotten gains" in the eyes of Heaven.

"By the way, take this box back and keep it safe. If an elderly person in their sixties or seventies comes to visit in a few days, show this box to them and tell them the whole story. They will then have their own conclusions."

“This…” Mr. Liu took the box from Du Anrao, exchanged a glance with his wife, and ultimately asked no questions before nodding and putting the box away.

Now that the matter was resolved, the two were eager to go back and donate money to help their child accumulate merit, so they didn't bother them any further.

After handing over the prepared thank-you gift to Du Anrao, he tactfully left. Before leaving, he mentioned the Gu worm on Mr. Yan's son and arranged a time with Du Anrao to bring him over to have the Gu removed.

Qiu Jichen and his mother had only brought the two of them here to familiarize themselves with the place and to act as witnesses. Now that the two of them had left, they naturally followed suit.

Du Anrao watched the couple support each other as they left, and couldn't help but sigh.

She only mentioned the fate of Liu Baoxin and his wife, but did not mention Mr. Liu's father.

This elder, hidden behind Liu Baoxin's family, was actually the fuse that ignited all this tragedy.
