Prank wedding pranks? Little fortune teller remarries military officer in a sweet romance.

Ling Jiuyue pointed to the fish tank and flower bed behind the mulberry tree: "This courtyard is no longer a place for living people to live. Yu Youming found a master and transformed it into a feng shui formation that uses living souls to defy fate."

In this courtyard, not only people, but all living souls are used to sacrifice to the formation. After the chaos ended, someone set their sights on this place, which is why Yu Youming arranged for Li Weimin to tamper with it, causing a false police report and completely dispelling the suspicions of outsiders.

Over the past decade, the Yu family has enjoyed a meteoric rise in their official careers and lived a prosperous life. Even if some people suspect something is amiss, who would dare to repeat their mistakes?

Yang Xingzhi felt a chill run down his spine: "So, this courtyard isn't some distant relative of the Yu family at all; it belongs to the Yu family. Then why does his master, who was so powerful, still have so many problems with his descendants?"

Ling Jiuyue thought for a moment: "Perhaps that master still retained a sliver of conscience and didn't want to go too far, leaving a glimmer of hope. That's why the Yu family descendants are plagued by misfortune!"

This senior may not have acted voluntarily; it's just that in those days, a master like him would only face death if captured, so he had no choice but to obey Yu Youming's orders.

At night, Ling Jiuyue drew blood from the rooster's comb and performed a ritual.

The next day, Yang Xingzhi and the others suddenly felt that something in the courtyard had changed, as if the dark clouds had dispersed and the sun was shining through.

After the ritual was completed, Ling Jiuyue went into a deep sleep for recovery.

Seeing that she was alright, Qin Shixiao felt relieved and went out to buy cleaning tools.

Yang Xingzhi rubbed his lower back: "This yard is too big; I'm afraid we'll need to find several more people to clean it up!"

Shunzi said dejectedly, "I've looked around, but no one in the neighborhood is willing to come and clean this place, no matter how much money they offer!"

Xiao Wu deeply sympathized with those people's fear: "Don't even mention them being scared, I'd be scared too! So many bones, I don't even know if they've been completely excavated yet. What if one day we suddenly dig up a hand? That would scare someone to death!"

Shunzi shuddered: "Stop talking! Every time you say that, the feeling comes back. Brother, if you want to stay here, go ahead. I'd rather sleep on the streets or under bridges than live here!"

Yang Xingzhi glanced at him: "You said it yourself. After I've finished setting it up, don't even think about trying to take advantage of me!"

If people here don't dare to make money, why wouldn't people back home dare to either?

Xiao Wu suddenly remembered something: "By the way, brother, why did you ask Shunzi to buy incense and paper money that September?"

Yang Xingzhi didn't know either.

Shunzi got angry when she brought it up: "Let me tell you, it wasn't because I was scared, but that day was really weird, you know, I was walking along Huanglong Street and I happened to run into a group of people arguing."

I have sharp eyes, and I immediately saw that the other person was holding a knife and slashing towards us, aiming for a girl's forehead.

In the blink of an eye, I grabbed her and dodged to the side, avoiding the knife coming at me. You'd say I did a good deed, wouldn't you say?

Yang Xingzhi and Xiao Wu nodded.

Shunzi clapped his hands: "That brat actually said I took advantage of her, that I deliberately touched her waist, and that I was a pervert. Tell me, where can I go to reason with her?"

Later, I went to the third shop to buy something, and it was her again selling things. I immediately turned around and wanted to leave. If September hadn't specifically told me it had to be from her shop, I wouldn't have bothered with her at all!

Xiao Wu patted his shoulder: "Don't be angry. There must be a reason why Jiu Yue arranged this. She won't let you suffer in vain. Maybe you two will become a couple in the future!"

"Pah, pah, pah!" Shunzi spat several times. "You're such a jinx! It's bad enough that I met a woman like Zhu Xiaomei. If I were to encounter another woman who does nothing, how could I possibly have a good life?"

After a while of working, they turned around and realized that Qin Shixiao had not returned yet.

"Hey, didn't he go to buy a stroller? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Qin Shixiao went to visit him in prison.

Wang Jianghai is being held in the city detention center, awaiting the outcome of the investigation before being transferred to another facility.

Unexpectedly, he swallowed glass and drank herbicide in the detention center, intending to commit suicide.

"You've arrived?"

When Qin Shixiao saw him in the hospital, he looked emaciated and it was clear that he didn't have much time left.

The police officer who accompanied Qin Shixiao in was very unhappy: "Speak quickly, you only have ten minutes!"

This person is truly despicable. He behaved so well that he lowered their guard and made them believe that he genuinely wanted to reform.

Unexpectedly, he stole the herbicide from the detention center when no one was looking, causing the warehouse clerk and two other guards to almost lose their jobs because of him.

He was a death row inmate who was destined to be executed by firing squad, yet he still managed to take two people down with him before he died. He was truly wicked.

Qin Shixiao frowned: "It won't take ten minutes. If you have something to say, say it quickly. Our friendship isn't even worth five minutes!"

The guard looked at Qin Shixiao with surprise. Wasn't he supposed to be a comrade-in-arms with a life-or-death bond?

Wang Jianghai said weakly, "Shixiao, I know I'm sorry. If you were my age, you would understand. I'm almost forty years old. I can't go to the battlefield, I don't have much education, and I can't do administration."

You are ten years younger than me, young and favored by your superiors, and you do everything with ease. As for me... I am inferior to you in every way. I was the one who tried to please Commander Qiao's mother every day. At first, Qiao Xinmei thought I was a decent person.

But ever since she met you, she's changed. The way she looks at you is different from how she looks at anyone else. Tell me... tell me, why? Just because I'm a little older and a little uglier, does she not like me anymore? Why...?"

Qin Shixiao interrupted him: "Don't give me that 'why' attitude. That girl is young, beautiful, and from a good family. What kind of partner could she choose? Why would she choose a divorced old man like you?"

"You..." Wang Jianghai stared blankly at Qin Shixiao, then smiled weakly after a moment:

"Xiao Qin, you've changed. You used to... you wouldn't say things like this..."

Qin Shixiao glanced at his watch: "Three minutes have passed. Are you sure you still want to bring up those old stories?"

"Cough cough~" Wang Jianghai coughed and gasped for breath, "Xiao Qin, the past is the past. It's... I'm sorry to you. I will atone with my life. But... but Xiao Hu is innocent."

He's not an outsider; he's the son of your cousin Zhang Chunying and me. Your sister-in-law... didn't want him when they divorced. My parents... are getting old.

"Xiao Qin, I beg you... for the sake of our years of brotherhood, please take care of... take care of Xiao Hu, treat him like your own son... and don't tell him anything about me, okay?"
