Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

After carefully considering the reasons behind these merits, Xia Wange smiled.

As expected, Master's words proved true.

The sorrow and the blessing of the blessings, the blessings of the blessings.

Until the very end, you have no idea what the outcome will be.

It turned out that if she didn't perform a ritual to release the ghost infant this time, the problem would be difficult to solve. The ghost infant slowly absorbed the surrounding malevolent energy and finally broke free of the soul nail. First, she killed Ma Xiangu and Ni Caifeng.

The two people who harmed him deserved to die, but the crazed ghost infant would not let it go. He would continue to kill and accumulate karma. In the end, he was eliminated by her at a great cost because she had always been concerned about the ghost infant and had returned to investigate.

Now, nothing has happened, but she changed the future outcome and thus reaped a wave of merit.

Xia Wange did the calculations carefully, and then her face fell.

It's only been a week since it came out.

It was because of Lu Qiu's wisp of purple energy that she was able to use up a week's worth of merit points. Now, after all this back and forth, she's gained a lifetime of purple energy...

"Snap"

The heavy slapping sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet courtyard.

"Clap clap clap clap clap"

Riding on her horse, the fairy godmother slapped the other woman across the face repeatedly, her expression ferocious and vicious. "You said you could help me! You said you'd repay my kindness! My grandson is gone! My son's ashes are gone too! Why didn't you stop me?! Aren't you a fairy godmother?! Aren't you so powerful? Give me back my son! Give him back!"

"Ni Caifeng." Xia Wange looked at the crazed woman, her tone utterly calm.

"You say that baby was abandoned by his mother, so he's a piece of grass. But I'm telling you, you've already been abandoned by your son."

"Zhou Xingwang committed suicide and smashed to pieces, returning your flesh and blood, and you burned his bones, leaving no bone grace."

"Ni Caifeng, your son abandoned you, so what are you now?"

Upon hearing Xia Wange's words, the previously frenzied Ni Caifeng suddenly collapsed to the ground, her eyes vacant and filled with despair. She roared at the heavens:

"A child without a mother is like a blade of grass, but what is a mother without children? I was abandoned by my son, hahaha, I was abandoned by my son, I have no children, I have no children! Fairy Ma, what is a mother without children? What is she?!"

The sound of sirens came from afar. Xia Wange looked at Ma Xiangu and said, "You know what you should say and what you shouldn't say. She has to atone for everything she has done, and so do you. If you don't wash away your sins, you won't have a good end either. I'll be watching you."

Completely captivated by Xia Wange and terrified, Ma Xiangu kowtowed three times to her, saying, "I know, Master. I know my sins are grave, and I will atone for them."

After saying that, she climbed over the wall and ran away, quickly leaving the scene with Cao Niannian.

On the way back, Cao Niannian, holding the urn, looked out the window at the receding scenery and asked, "Master Xia, what will become of his mother?"

"It depends on whether the perpetrator was experiencing a mental illness episode at the time of the crime. If so, they may be subject to compulsory treatment. If the perpetrator was in good mental condition when they killed the infant, they would need to go to jail and also be charged with stealing a corpse."

Cao Niannian lowered her head and remained silent for a long time before whispering, "But Zhou Xingwang committed suicide because of her, while she only went to jail. The psychological violence that parents inflict on their children goes unpunished."

Xia Wange looked out the window, her eyes filled with many indescribable emotions. "But that's how the world is. They gave birth to you, which is a favor, and your patricide is a sin."

After saying that, Xia Wange turned to look at Cao Niannian, a pleased expression on her face. "But fortunately, evil people will be punished by heaven. Maybe a mudslide will bury all the evil people in the village under the yellow earth?"

Cao Niannian stared blankly at the other person's expression. For some reason, she sensed a cruelty and pleasure beneath Xia Wange's joyful smile, but it vanished in an instant.

She then heard the other person say, "Saying this might give the impression that 'she only lost her leg, but the other person lost their love,' but for Ni Caifeng, the last words I left behind were the most damaging to her."

Cao Niannian naturally knew Xia Wange's last words. Although she was some distance away, the other person's voice still reached her ears, especially the other person's heart-wrenching last sentence.

"Master Xia, tell me, what is a mother without children?"

"It's her own thing," Xia Wange said. "Everyone is independent, and she shouldn't impose her obsession on her son. Even without a child, she is still herself, and she can fulfill her own desires at any time, instead of forcing others."

Cao Niannian stood there, stunned, pondering Xia Wange's words, and inexplicably felt her heart being cleansed again and again.

Lu Qiu went to the company very early for two days in a row, but returned home very late, and became somewhat silent after returning home.

When Lu's parents saw him like this, they were extremely worried and immediately called a meeting with Lu's older brother and the other two.

Mr. Lu: "What happened? He was fine just a few days ago?"

Lu's mother: "I saw him staring blankly at a jade cicada. I remember that thing. He carved it on a whim when he was a child. When a master was invited to take a look, he said that the carving was better than that of people who had practiced for three or five years. He could become a master with just a little practice. Then, as usual, A Qiu stopped practicing."

Parents are happy to have an excellent child, but they are worried when they have an exceptionally excellent child.

Lu Qiu was intelligent from a young age and could learn everything quickly. As a result, he couldn't muster any enthusiasm for anything, because many things in this world didn't challenge him. Without challenges, life lost its meaning.

Brother Lu used to say in a fit of pique that making money was difficult.

So Lu Qiu went and started his own company.

As a result, he did a great job, and the company continued to operate normally and gradually developed better and better without much effort.

But Lu Qiu seemed even more lifeless. Although he was doing everything step by step, it seemed that he was only doing it out of a sense of responsibility for the company he had founded.

After his leg problem occurred, the Lu family noticed that he had become even less energetic. He seemed incapable of getting angry or laughing, and always had a blank expression. Although he would say thank you and sorry, these were related to his upbringing but not to his daily life.

The three of them spent the whole night feeling down, when they suddenly realized that Lu Qiu, whose biological clock was always punctual, was waking up much earlier than usual.

Fearing that he might disturb Xia Wange's work, he had not been in contact with her since their conversation that day.

When Lu Qiu learned that Cao Niannian had taken three days off, he found himself getting up early on the fourth day.

Lu Qiu arrived at the company an hour early. Every half hour, he would go out for a stroll. Every time he saw Xia Wange's empty workstation, his heart would feel empty, and he would lower his eyes and return to his office expressionlessly.

When he came out of the office for the fourth time, his first glance was habitually directed at Xia Wange's workstation.

His already deep pupils suddenly lit up, like a vast ocean, sparkling with light.

The innermost workstation was no longer empty; Xia Wange was now propping her head up on the table, scrolling through her phone.

Lu Qiu felt his heart inexplicably start racing the moment he saw her.
