The three elderly people laughed even more happily, especially Qiao Nainai.

"Let's talk about serious matters, Grandma." Qiao Muting felt that if they kept praising him, his grandmother would be unable to resist starting to lecture him and show her disdain; just now, she had looked at him and then at Shu Xia, her gaze changing extremely quickly, with her fondness and disdain both clearly visible.

Qiao Nainai glared at Qiao Muting; she hadn't finished showing off yet!

She just loved seeing others envy her.

When she was young, she compared herself, later she compared her son, a while ago she compared her grandson, and now, it was comparing her granddaughter-in-law.

"Xia Xia, your Ding Ye has indeed encountered a strange matter. He originally wanted to ask me if I could contact Zhong Jiejie, but now no one knows where Zhong Jiejie is, and there are many people in Jing City who claim to have abilities, but they are actually just swindlers. See if you can handle this matter for your Ding Ye; if you can't handle it, I will look for someone else, don't feel too pressured," Qiao Nainai said.

Shu Xia also put away the smile on her face, and her expression became serious, "Alright, please tell me, Ding Ye."

Ding Ye nodded.

The few people in the Qiao Family Old Residence were all people he could trust.

The so-called family shame should not be spread abroad, but in front of old friends, whether it was a family shame or not didn't matter.

Qiao Muting lowered his eyes, looking at Shu Xia's suddenly serious face.

Once she became serious, there was a radiance about her that others did not possess.

"It's like this: recently, strange things have been happening at home. Your Dingnainai has been feeling unwell for this past month and is always having nightmares. Our little great-grandson cries loudly every night, saying he is afraid. Before, we always thought it was the child being spoiled, or that his body was delicate due to the two or three consecutive colds and illnesses he had recently."

"As it turns out, this morning, your Dingnainai and my little great-grandson were chatting by chance, and they realized they often have the same nightmare at night."

After Ding Ye finished speaking, his expression became even more solemn.

One could tell from Ding Ye's expression that when he discovered the matter was strange, at that moment, besides shock, he felt lingering fear.

Shu Xia actually didn't know much about these kinds of eerie things.

She had only seen them in books.

She understood that many people used Evil Objects to achieve certain goals.

These things were not difficult for Zhong Jiejie.

"Are there any ornaments or personal items in Ding Ye's home that suddenly appeared in the last month or two?" Shu Xia asked.

Ding Ye thought about it with a solemn expression, then shook his head, "There shouldn't be."

"I haven't had much contact with this aspect, so I'm not very clear either. I can go to your home with you, Ding Ye, to take a look. If I can't find the cause, you can find someone else to look into it, Ding Ye," Shu Xia told him truthfully.

Ding Ye immediately said, "Then now... is it possible to rush over now? In a little over an hour, my little great-grandson will probably start crying and saying he's afraid again."

"Yes, we'll go now," Shu Xia agreed directly.

Some things could not be delayed.

"I'll go along and take a look too," Qiao Nainai said, unable to sit still.

"Grandma should just wait at home. If it really is what I suspect, Grandma's body won't be able to handle it," Shu Xia comforted Qiao Nainai, then looked at Qin Lao, "Qin Lao can also wait at home for news."

"Alright," Qiao Nainai and Qin Lao both agreed.

Since that was the case, the two of them shouldn't go along and cause trouble.

"I'll go too," Qiao Muting said to Shu Xia.

Shu Xia glanced at Qiao Muting, and seeing that he was in good condition today, she nodded; it was good to have him follow.

The two of them followed Ding Ye out of the Laozhai together.

Behind them, Qin Lao said to Qiao Nainai, "Zhong Jiejie never misjudges people; Xia Xia is truly excellent. As for today's matter, it is not something Xia Xia is an expert in after all. If Xia Xia really cannot solve it, I will help little Ding find someone."
