"Pretty well," Wan Jing hesitated. "Did you two sleep poorly? Strange, the nurse who took care of me said she couldn't sleep well either. Ma served me for a month and then left. Chen Ma, who used to take care of my mother-in-law, said she couldn't sleep well either. But I slept well..."

Strange, Bao Lanchu didn't understand. If it was a feng shui issue, Wan Jing should also be unable to sleep well. Why were only they sleeping poorly?

After breakfast, Wan Jing exercised a bit on the balcony and planned to rest at ten. Bao Lanchu went up to the fifth floor with her daughter to watch a movie.

While watching, Liang Mi couldn't help but say, "Mom, let's ask Sister Gu to come over. Sister Gu knows about feng shui and is a doctor. She healed me before, and you saw how my wrist scars disappeared. I think if Auntie's body is truly injured, Sister Gu can heal her. And you've seen how powerful she is."

Bao Lanxin was secretly impressed by Gu Qin's abilities.

Bao Lanchu was moved. Yes, Gu Qin was so capable and could treat illnesses. Maybe she could cure Wan Jing.

"Mom, shall we call her?" Liang Mi suggested.

Bao Lanchu couldn't help but call Gu Qin.

Gu Qin received the call while dining and shopping with friends. It was officially winter break, and all her friends were returning home, so they arranged to meet for dinner and shopping.

Currently, they were shopping. Seeing it was Bao Lanchu's call, she answered, "Aunt Bao?"

"Qin Qin, it's like this," Bao Lanchu said. "I have a friend around my age. She recently had a miscarriage and injured her body. The doctors couldn't do much, and she's been slowly recuperating, but there's no improvement. Do you have any way to help?"

"No problem, I can cure it. It's not a big deal. What's the address? I'll come tomorrow."

Bao Lanchu gave her the address. "Do you need me to pick you up? I'm still with my friend."

"No need, I'll go myself. Aunt Bao, I'll hang up now."

After a full afternoon with her friends, Qin Xiansheng insisted on driving Gu Qin over, and they went together.

Arriving at the location according to Bao Lanchu's address, they found a newly paved road and drove to its end, where the tall building stood. Seeing the building, Gu Qin and Qin Xiansheng couldn't help but exchange glances, both seeing shock and concern in each other's eyes.

At the villa's entrance, they parked the car aside. Gu Qin didn't rush to ring the doorbell but examined the high-rise villa thoroughly, checking the surroundings and layout carefully. She couldn't help but sneer and pressed the doorbell.

Qin Xiansheng grabbed her arm. "Be careful, whoever built this villa must have considerable power. But—what a wicked mind."

Gu Qin thought for a moment and didn't rush inside. She told Qin Xiansheng, "Let me take a few photos first." Ignoring the doorbell, she easily jumped over the iron gate, found a good angle in the courtyard, and took several photos.

It still wasn't enough, so she used a flying technique to hover in the air, snapping a few more shots. Flying techniques weren't difficult; at her level, she could use advanced flying talismans or chant a spell. However, it consumed a lot of energy, so most cultivators rarely used them for travel.

She flew to the roof, where the color of the tiles matched those on the exterior of the villa. Taking a few photos from above, she came back down to the door and rang the bell.

Soon, a woman around fifty came to open the door. Knowing she was there to see the lady, she warmly welcomed her in.

Bao Lanchu was in the hall, seeing Gu Qin arrive, she rushed forward. "Qin Qin, you're here."

Liang Mi also ran over excitedly. "Sister Gu, you're here."

Gu Qin patted Liang Mi's shoulder and greeted Bao Lanchu before carefully examining the interior. The more she looked, the more her brows furrowed. Bao Lanchu glanced at Qin Xiansheng, unsure who he was. Qin Xiansheng introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Qin Xiansheng, Gu Qin's boyfriend. I'm here with her today."

Bao Lanchu responded, "Mr. Qin, please sit. My friend is still resting. I'll go wake her up."

"No need," Gu Qin said. "Aunt Bao, let's go to her room together and talk to her."

Then, she said to Liang Mi, "Mimi, I'll go diagnose Auntie. Wait for us downstairs, okay?"

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Liang Mi nodded obediently.

Gu Qin didn't rush upstairs but toured from the second floor to the top, taking many photos before going to Wan Jing's room with Bao Lanchu.

They went upstairs, and Wan Jing was still resting. Bao Lanchu gently called out, "Wan Jing, Wan Jing, the person I mentioned yesterday is here."

Wan Jing woke up drowsily, seeing Gu Qin, she was somewhat dazed, but after a while, she regained her senses. She pulled her coat over her shoulders and sat up, looking very tired. Gu Qin said, "Lean against the bed, I'll take your pulse first."

Wan Jing didn't underestimate Gu Qin because of her young age. She had already heard from Bao Lanchu about Gu Qin's identity and capabilities. Wan Jing had even seen the online posts, amazed at how young and talented this girl was.

Gu Qin quickly took her pulse and put Wan Jing's hand back under the covers. "Indeed, it's because of the miscarriage that your body is injured. But it's not a major issue. With proper care, you'll recover."

Wan Jing was stunned. "But other doctors said it would take years to recover."

Gu Qin smiled. "That's true, but if other doctors treated you, it would take a long time. With my help, you'll recover in at most two months. From an outsider's perspective, you could even die from exhaustion."

Bao Lanchu and Wan Jing were confused, not understanding Gu Qin's meaning.

Gu Qin continued, "Don't understand? Let me show you something." She turned to Wan Jing. "What I'm about to show you may be harsh, but please bear with it."

"What, what do you mean?" Wan Jing felt a sudden surge of fear.

Gu Qin took out her phone and showed them the photos she had taken. As she scrolled through the images, their faces grew increasingly pale. Gu Qin asked, "Can you recognize what this looks like? This is the overall appearance of the building you live in. Doesn't it look like a coffin? An upright coffin?"

Their faces turned deathly pale. Wan Jing stammered, "This... This must be a coincidence, how could the designer...?"

"Not a coincidence," Gu Qin dispelled her illusions. "In feng shui, this architectural layout is called a coffin house. Coffins are widely used in feng shui architecture. 'Coffin' means promotion and wealth, but it doesn't apply to upright coffins. Upright coffins prevent the dead from resting in peace, indicating extreme bad luck."

"How could this be?" Bao Lanchu's face paled, unable to comprehend. She looked at Wan Jing. "Wasn't Li Yunze tricked?"

Wan Jing nervously pulled out her phone to call Li Yunze. Gu Qin held her hand. "I think you should hear me out before deciding whether to call him."

Wan Jing abruptly stopped, realizing Gu Qin's meaning. She looked at Gu Qin in disbelief, exclaiming, "No, this can't be true..."

Gu Qin cast a calming spell on her. "Listen to me first. In architectural terms, an upright coffin is extremely unlucky. Combined with other buildings or trees around it, it can form an array that brings great misfortune. People living here will gradually decline and die. Even after death, their souls cannot rest peacefully. Weak souls trapped here can be suppressed and imprisoned. Do you understand? Someone wants you dead and wants to ensure you never have a chance to recover."

The two were speechless. Gu Qin continued, "If these pictures don't convince you, all the furniture in your house is made of willow wood. Do you know what willow wood is used for? Willow wood is specifically used for making coffins, and it carries strong yin energy." She lightly touched the bedside table without actually touching it, revealing the wood underneath. "This is willow wood. The redwood furniture below is also painted willow wood, and the flooring is also willow wood."

Gu Qin took out her phone again, showing them more photos. She pointed to a decoration hanging from the ceiling on the top floor—a bronze coin strung with red string, resembling a sword hanging like a chandelier. "Do you know what this is?"

Wan Jing's face turned pale. "This... This is something my husband put up. He said it was a decoration and could ward off evil spirits."

"Ward off evil spirits?" Gu Qin laughed. "He probably took advantage of your lack of knowledge in feng shui. This is called a money sword, used to ward off evil spirits. For ordinary people, it doesn't cause harm, but for someone with poor health, it can be harmful. Combined with all the willow wood furniture and this coffin-like building, you'll quickly weaken and die. Your soul will be trapped here and completely destroyed by the money sword. These things and arrangements are impossible for ordinary people to set up."

She had already seen through the facade with her spiritual eyes; Li Yunze was just an ordinary person.

Gu Qin asked, "Does your husband want you dead?"

"No, no..." Wan Jing shook her head, her face pale. "My husband loves me. He might just not know about these things. Maybe he was tricked. The Li family has many enemies, it's normal..."

Gu Qin asked, "Then why wouldn't his enemies use this layout in his real estate projects instead of in this mountain villa for you?" She paused. "Ms. Wan, Bao Lanchu calls me 'Qin Qin.' Since you're her friend, I'll call you 'Ms. Wan.' Do you want to know the truth?"

Wan Jing's lips trembled, unable to speak. Finally, she managed to whisper, "Yes..."

"Wan Jing..." Bao Lanchu patted her hand, unsure how to comfort her friend. She understood that Li Yunze likely wanted to harm her. Having experienced her husband's betrayal, Bao Lanchu knew that once a man decided to turn his back on you, he could be ruthless. Most men who changed their minds would want a divorce, but some, with the right push, could develop murderous intent.

She and Liang Jun were a prime example. Wan Jing, with little wealth, was easier to understand.

Wishing to kill her for the sake of robbing her, let alone Li Yunge, such a wealthy man, if he really wanted to divorce Wan Jing because he had a mistress outside, he would be afraid that Wan Jing would take half of his property in the divorce.

But what Bao Lanchu can't figure out is that according to Wan Jing's character, even if Li Yunge really wanted a divorce, Wan Jing would only feel sad and wouldn't want any of his property; Li Yunge should also know Wan Jing's personality, so he shouldn't need to make Wan Jing die, and even go to such lengths, wanting her soul to dissipate after death.

Gu Qin said, "I can currently only tell you that your husband indeed has murderous intentions toward you, but I don't know who is behind him. Therefore, I need to see him. Can you get him to come here?"

Wan Jing's face was pale as she replied, "He seems to be on a business trip, but I'll call him and ask."

Gu Qin nodded. Wan Jing took out her phone. She had been somewhat devastated earlier, but when the girl touched her, she felt much better. The phone soon connected, and Li Yunge's voice came through, "A Jing, what's wrong?"

Wan Jing maintained a cold expression while speaking with gentle words, "Yunge, are you still on your business trip? When will you be back?"

Li Yunge chuckled softly, "I'll be back this afternoon."

Wan Jing continued, "Yunge, can you come over for dinner tonight? I miss you."

Li Yunge hesitated for a moment, "Alright, I'll come over for dinner tonight, but after dinner, I have to return to the company as there's some work to be done."

"Alright." Wan Jing hung up the phone and looked at Gu Qin, "Is it really him?"

"Probably." Gu Qin nodded. "But I still need to confirm it. I want to know why he did this."

Opening her Heavenly Eye could only show her things related to her and Li Yunge. It could only confirm that Li Yunge was an ordinary person and couldn't build such a building. Trying to look through Wan Jing to see what happened to Li Yunge would be too exhausting. Whoever built such a layout must have received guidance, and she didn't want to waste her essence here.

Gu Qin added, "When he comes over for dinner, I won't go down but will stay upstairs to observe him. Once he leaves, I can tell you the reason. If it's indeed him working with someone else, this place definitely can't be lived in, and you'd better find an excuse to move out, without letting him suspect anything. Don't expose it until we've identified the mastermind, okay?"

"Okay." Wan Jing clenched her fists tightly.

"But it's strange. From Auntie Bao's account, you've been living here for nearly two months. According to the logic, you should have... " Gu Qin suddenly noticed the wooden beads on Wan Jing's left wrist. She paused, "Can you extend your left hand for me to see?"

Wan Jing extended her left hand. Gu Qin examined the string of prayer beads and smiled lightly, "So it's because of these beads. These beads were worn by a high monk for many years and have become a treasure. They have a calming effect. That's why you've been able to endure this far, even sleeping soundly in such a place. However, your body continues to weaken, and these beads won't last long either. Look, there are already tiny cracks appearing on the beads."

"Beads..." Wan Jing was stunned. She gently stroked the beads, "These beads were given to me by my father. He was an antique appraiser and picked them up from a small vendor a long time ago. Later, Dad gave them to me, hoping they would keep me safe forever."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Wan Jing's eyes.

Gu Qin didn't say much more, gesturing for Bao Lanchu to accompany her. She went downstairs to inform Brother Qin that she would stay for a while and asked Qin Xiansheng to leave first, returning in the evening. This way, Li Yunge wouldn't notice any cars parked outside the villa.

After agreeing on the timing, Qin Xiansheng left.
