Pei Mengzhi snorted coldly. “Staying home might just lead to an earthquake instead.”

Mrs. Pei was so furious her chest hurt. “Just shut up!”

Pei Mengzhi said nothing more, and the two returned home.

**
At 8 p.m., the sky was completely dark.

Mrs. Pei stood at the door, anxiously waiting for a long time until she finally saw a bicycle approaching.

She froze.

Si Fuqing got off the bike, slung her bag over her right shoulder, and walked forward unhurriedly.

Her outfit was always casual and loose.

A T-shirt paired with light-colored jeans, with her long hair tied back into a ponytail using a black hairband.

–I tried using AI to imagine Si Fuqing’s appearance hehe..

Even with such a simple look, her captivating features were impossible to ignore.

Si Fuqing had just reached the entrance of the Pei family home.

With a loud “thud,” Mrs. Pei dropped to her knees.

“Master! I failed to recognize your greatness and not only misunderstood you but also slandered you. I sincerely apologize.” Mrs. Pei kowtowed. “Please, I beg you, save the Pei family!”

“Aren’t you still alive?” Si Fuqing sidestepped her and walked past. “Don’t be in such a rush. Also, don’t kneel to me—I don’t like it.”

Mrs. Pei immediately stopped kneeling and scrambled to her feet. “Master, please come inside.”

“Miss Si, I’ve already cleared the place,” Pei Mengzhi walked over. “I even gave the housekeeper the night off.”

Mrs. Pei glared at him. “Don’t call her Miss Si! Call her Master!”

Pei Mengzhi: “…”

His mom had just switched from one extreme to another.

Si Fuqing ignored them and began pacing around the courtyard.

Mrs. Pei, trembling with fear, asked cautiously, “Master, have you noticed anything?”

“Planting locust trees in front of your house, and in such critical spots too—you’re really bold,” Si Fuqing clapped her hands for them. “If you all don’t die from this layout, it would be an injustice to the setup.”

Mrs. Pei’s legs went weak, and she leaned against the wall. “M-Master, what should we do about it?”

“Chop down all these trees,” Si Fuqing said indifferently. “And you’d better figure out who told you planting them this way would attract wealth. You’re supposed to be a prominent family in Lincheng, and yet you couldn’t even hire a decent feng shui master.”

A feng shui master naturally couldn’t compare to a yin-yang master.

After all, feng shui masters could only read fortunes, arrange feng shui, and perform basic divination. They didn’t understand the powers of yin and yang or the five elements, nor could they create shikigami or set up spiritual barriers.

Si Fuqing took out a piece of paper from her bag, tore it a few times, and then blew the pieces into the air.

“Miss Si, what was that?” Pei Mengzhi asked, confused. “It looked like a dog, but also a bit like a pixiu.”

Si Fuqing glanced at him coldly. “Do you even need to know? Can you use it if you do?”

Her paper shikigami was indeed in the shape of a dog-pixiu hybrid, something she had been teased about by Ji Xingzhi before.

Of course, she had beaten him so badly afterward that he couldn’t get up.

Mrs. Pei shot a glare at Pei Mengzhi and smacked him on the head. “Just listen carefully to what the master is saying!”

Pei Mengzhi shut up again.

After finishing her inspection, Si Fuqing straightened up. “Where’s your bedroom?”

“The third floor, third room,” Mrs. Pei quickly replied.

Si Fuqing went upstairs and pushed open the bedroom door.

The room didn’t have many belongings. The bed was a bit messy, but everything else was tidy.

Pei Mengzhi still felt a little embarrassed.

Si Fuqing walked a few steps and stopped in front of a wooden floorboard. “Pry it open.”

Without needing further instruction, Pei Mengzhi immediately fetched some tools and began prying up the floorboard.

With a “crack,” the floorboard broke.

Surprisingly, underneath was not concrete or soil—it was hollow.

Pei Mengzhi’s heart sank.

Si Fuqing crouched down and reached into the space.

A few seconds later, she pulled out a box.

The box had strange and intricate patterns on it, resembling some form of ancient script.

When the box was opened, it revealed a porcelain jar and a rather creepy rectangular stone block.

Mrs. Pei’s face turned pale. “M-Master, may I ask what this is?”

“A cremation urn and a yin tablet,” Si Fuqing said casually. “They’ve been buried here for over a decade. Don’t be scared—your bedroom has them too. Fair treatment for everyone.”
