Chapter 168: It's Over, Everything's Gone!

Shen Man didn't dare linger long in the space; after five minutes she came out.

She pretended to flush, washed her hands, dried the water spots, then finally grabbed the flashlight and left the restroom.

She returned to the room, lay on the bed, and tried not to toss and turn.

The slight change in the person beside the pillow, the different breathing rate, was easy for Jiang Ye to discern.

A long arm reached out, clasped the slender waist, pressed against their chest, and in a hoarse voice hinted a trace of danger:

"Can't sleep?"

Shen Man, taking the chance, wrapped around the man's strong waist, her soft cheek rubbing his chest, and let out a yawn:

"No, I'll sleep now, so sleepy."

Jiang Ye sighed softly, lowered their head to kiss their daughter‑in‑law's smooth forehead; everyone has their own secrets, and if the young wife doesn't want to speak, they won't press.

The two of them, living their simple life well, mattered above all else.

Suddenly, they thought of something important.

They were about to ask the daughter‑in‑law, but heard her faint snore.

Fine, they'll ask tomorrow.

The diligent little Tangyuan couldn't stay idle, silently tidied up the items in Lu Manman's Fu Kongjian.

Seeing a blood‑stained sheet, they shook their head in a human‑like manner.

The lingering Black qi indicated that Lu Manman, a girl of fortune, had blackened, completely exhausting the Heavenly Dao's fortune.

From now on, she is just an ordinary person, an ordinary being who erases all life!

In this life, she will only be lonely and helpless, grow old in solitude, and meet a bad end.

This is the Heavenly Dao's backlash.

For those lucky ones with fortune, if they don't cherish the destiny bestowed, they will fall, become evil, the very villains often mentioned in the ancestors' books.

In contrast, its master seeks to reclaim her Golden Finger, open the Jade Card Space, and retrieve everything she rightfully deserves.

As for the original self, the soul that has been training while inhabiting the master's body should return to its original place, I guess.

The original self's vengeance, the master is seriously helping to avenge, okay.

Counting carefully, it took almost two months.

Although it wasn't a direct confrontation from the start, the master's bottom‑up strategy was truly a great delight for the cat's heart.

Cheerful Tangyuan went to the Immortal Lotus Pond, lapped the pond water, then seized the chance, scooped out a fish larger than its own body with one paw, dragged it to the shore, and devoured it with a gulp‑gulp.

At the Capital Maternity and Child Hospital, the dazed Lu Manman, woken by a pinch to her nose, was completely unwell!

Her Jade Card Space vanished!

"Come out, water, water cup, money!"

Lu Manman, hurriedly on the verge of tears, thought the space held all her belongings, oh no, also her mother's secret money, coffin fund!

The antiques, antique paintings she painstakingly acquired, and the Gu Family's emptied assets were all inside!

It's over, everything's gone!

"The patient's consciousness is hazy, possibly due to severe trauma; can the family recall what odd events occurred before the patient fell into a coma?"

The doctor in a white coat furrowed their brows, dutifully picked up the medical chart to record, administered injections and sedatives.......

"Nothing, nothing unusual, she just suddenly collapsed, doctor, my daughter's condition......."

Zhang Xuemei naturally couldn't say her daughter's issue stemmed from the space anomaly, and suddenly collapsed.

"Further observation is needed; preliminary diagnosis indicates the patient was stimulated, leading to mental disorder.

We recommend the family promptly send her to the Capital First People's Hospital's psychiatry department for examination, after all our hospital mainly serves women and children......"

The doctor sighed softly, so young, having suffered a violent miscarriage, no wonder she is mentally disordered, babbling.

It seems the blow was too great; the mind couldn't bear it.

Zhang Xuemei was completely unwell; her daughter, mentally ill?

After the doctors and nurses left, Zhang Xuemei hurriedly locked the door from the inside and quickly grabbed her daughter's hand, asking:

"Daughter, I'm your mother; do you remember me?"

"Mom, my space is gone, my Jade Card Space disappeared!"

"What do we do? All our belongings are inside!"

"Without the space, how can I become an attending physician, Deputy Director, Hospital Director!"

Lu Manman alternated between crying and laughing, her whole demeanor like a lunatic, startled and jittery.

Zhang Xuemei, with a hard heart, suddenly slapped—

"Shut up!"

"Lu Manman, you are my daughter, Zhang Xuemei, no matter what happens, Mom stands by you; even if the space and supplies are gone, we can start over!"

"The top priority is to restore your health, and also, think carefully: under what circumstances does a space disappear? What did you do last night?"

A biological mother is still a mother; no matter what, Zhang Xuemei will love the daughter she raised single‑handedly.

Even if others call her bad, say she's not a good thing, accuse her of shamelessness, she will accept it.

But she cannot say her daughter is bad!

"Whine whine whine."

Lu Manman covered her face, tears streaming, saying:

"Mom, I didn't do anything!"

It was sudden; my head felt like being pricked, the space was abruptly stripped away, vanishing instantly!

Then my head hurt terribly, and I fainted...

When she woke up again, her space had vanished!

Strange, how could this happen?

Zhang Xuemei frowned, rubbed her belly, and asked in bewilderment:

In your previous life, did your space ever disappear like this and then come back to you?

No, Mom, ever since I contracted that space in my past life, it's been perfectly fine!

Lu Manman shook her head. Suddenly, she thought of a possibility, but quickly dismissed it.

Was it Shen Man who did it?

No, if it were Shen Man, the other party would already know about the Jade Tablet Space and would definitely move to contract it first—how could there be any chance left for her to snatch a bargain!

Zhang Xuemei worried that her daughter's hysterical state would be mistaken for madness by doctors and nurses, so she patiently soothed:

My dear daughter, don't rush, don't panic—let's wait a bit and see if that space can come back; maybe it's just a false scare. You need to rest, and once you're rested, the space might work again.

Actually, she had no idea either—her daughter's space contained all the savings she had given away, plus the Gu family property her daughter had just cleared out!

If it all disappeared, where would mother and daughter live next?

What would they eat?

Where would she get the nerve to go back to the Lu family and negotiate with Lu Mingyuan?

And what could the daughter do?

If she really divorced her son-in-law, could she still find a suitable match?

Her head ached, it really ached!

And there's that in her belly—really bad timing!

Lu Manman couldn't sleep; she stared blankly at the ceiling, recalling the boundless glory of her past life, thinking of all that had happened in this life, and wanted to ask the heavens: why let her be reborn!

She could have lived more beautifully, better, more comfortably!

Why make her reborn alone!
