"Don't be in a hurry." Qin Bi walked over and whispered to the Prince Anyuan Hou Heir and Lu Xin: "In my opinion, call your second aunt and cousin over. This time, let's solve the problem directly."

Qin Lang leaned over to listen. The Prince Anyuan Hou Heir said: "It won't work if I see my second aunt."

"My meaning is, call your second aunt over to test your good fortune value to see if it has decreased," Qin Bi explained patiently: "If it hasn't decreased, then Qin Lang and I are talking nonsense and are not to be trusted. In the future, don't believe in these superstitious things; they are all fake. Can't you see? The Prince Anyuan Hou and his wife protect the second branch mother and son so tightly; they really don't want to break ties with the second branch because of you. You suffer if you want to. If your good fortune value hasn't decreased, it also satisfies the Marquis and his wife, and in the future, no one will mention your second aunt bringing misfortune."

The Prince Anyuan Hou Heir and the second young master Lu Xin looked at each other. Qin Lang asked: "What if the good fortune value has decreased?"

Qin Bi smiled: "Strike hard, beat her up, break ties, remove them from the clan—any one of these, as long as it's cut off cleanly, she won't be able to sponge good fortune. This woman's fate is not good; she has no good fortune at all and will have a miserable life."

With the matter at hand, the Prince Anyuan Hou Heir gritted his teeth. If he could confirm that this second aunt was sponging his good fortune, he would beat her to death and destroy everything she wanted, which would inevitably make her bad luck return to her.

The second young master Lu Xin also felt ruthless in his heart and asked: "Should we call a few clansmen over too?"

Qin Bi smiled; this second young master was quite clever: "Call a few big-mouthed, gossipy people over. Just say your eldest brother has been weak lately and you want to test his good fortune value. Don't say anything else."

The second young master Lu Xin nodded and started to walk away. Qin Bi urged: "Don't tell your second aunt you are testing the good fortune value, or she won't come."

"Why wouldn't she come?" Lu Xuan wondered.

"Guilty conscience," Qin Bi said: "She knows what kind of wicked fate she has. If you test the good fortune value, she can guess it has something to do with her. Your second aunt definitely won't want to come."

The second young master Lu Xin chuckled: "If she really is making trouble, I'll drag her here even if I have to."

Lu Xin and Lu Xuan left on horseback. The Prince Anyuan Hou's wife invited everyone into the living room.

In the casual conversation, they heard that if it was confirmed to be the second branch's doing, they would have to break ties and remove them from the clan. The Prince Anyuan Hou and his wife were absolutely unwilling. They could believe in mystic arts, and they had even found a practitioner for the child, but removing the second branch from the clan was going too far.

At noon, every family was taking a nap at home. Lu Xin and Lu Xuan split into two groups. Lu Xuan went to call the most gossipy aunt in the family, and another young aunt. A cousin who liked to join in the fun also followed them to the Marquis Manor.

The Marquis Manor Heir was unwell and needed them; both aunts were very proactive, saying they would help with whatever was needed.

Lu Xin went to the second branch. His cousin got up and followed him. His second aunt's eyes rolled around; she always felt uneasy: "What's the matter?"

"Eldest brother is weak and wants to test his good fortune value," Lu Xin said: "We juniors don't understand it. If we need to help, it has to be the elders who know more. Mother asked me to call you over."

As soon as this second aunt heard the Prince Anyuan Hou Heir was weak, she didn't say she wouldn't go and followed them out the door.

As soon as the second young master Lu Xin brought the second branch mother and son, the sisters-in-law exchanged greetings. The Prince Anyuan Hou's wife was on pins and needles, for no other reason than she was worried that Qin Bi and Qin Lang would stir up discord between them.

Qin Bi saw this and felt contempt; they really couldn't tell who was close and who was distant.

The Prince Anyuan Hou Heir had been unwell all this time, and this couple wasn't worried, but when the second branch had something, look at how worried they all were. No wonder the second branch's poisonous woman was so confident in her schemes to sponge good fortune; they were spoiled.

The young aunt asked: "Do you need us to do anything?"

"No need," Qin Bi said intentionally: "My cousin Qin Lang checked it. The Prince Anyuan Hou Heir has had his good fortune sponged by someone, which is why he is sickly. Everyone doesn't say it, and actually doesn't believe it, but you'll know once you test the good fortune value."

The young aunt showed a thoughtful expression. Another gossipy aunt glanced at the second branch. She knew everything; this sister-in-law of the second branch had no good fortune. People told her over and over not to come to the Marquis Manor, and she wouldn't listen. Most likely, they were talking about her.

"Eldest brother," Lu Xin handed over the testing stone: "Test your good fortune value."

The Prince Anyuan Hou Heir put his hand on it, and everyone watched with curiosity, originally intending to watch the fun. Who knew, the Prince Anyuan Hou Heir's good fortune value was so high that it directly formed a good fortune cloud and a luck cluster in the air.

The cloud cluster with good fortune and luck was pure and flawless, carrying auspiciousness. The good fortune value of humans in this cultivation world is 120, and the luck value is the same. The two aunts and the Lu family's young masters looked up with their heads tilted.

The Prince Anyuan Hou Heir's good fortune value was 80. It was originally 100; he didn't know when it had decreased by 20.

"Hiss!" The gossipy aunt was puzzled and stared at the testing stone, confused: "I remember this child's good fortune value was 100. How did it decrease by 20?"

The young sister-in-law curiously observed the good fortune cloud cluster carrying auspiciousness. The Prince Anyuan Hou and his wife were also puzzled. The Prince Anyuan Hou's wife looked up: "How did this child's good fortune value decrease?"

Only the people in the Marquis Manor knew the Prince Anyuan Hou Heir's good fortune value; outsiders like Qin Yan and Qin Bi didn't know. Hearing this, they all looked up at the flawless cloud cluster.

Looking closely, suddenly, a cluster of black mist was clinging to the cloud cluster.

Everyone's eyes widened immediately. What is this? As the black mist clung to the cloud cluster, the good fortune value on the testing stone became unstable. They could see this cluster of black mist sponging the good fortune value and luck value from the cloud cluster.

Following the black mist to look down, this cluster of black stuff was continuously overflowing from the second aunt, flying into the air in wisps, tearing good fortune and luck from the auspicious cloud cluster.

The cloud cluster kicked and hit, but the black mist clung tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Oh my mother!" The big-mouthed aunt screamed: "What kind of ghost is this?"

The other aunt and Jiang Shi and Lin Shi were scared and ran away. The maids and nannies were shocked and jumped away from the second branch mother and son with screams. Qin Yan and Qin Xun's faces both changed.

Qin Bi watched coldly. Look, this is the same as the matter at the Zhenyuan General's Manor. They wouldn't believe it even if they died until they saw the evil spirits. Now that they saw bad luck sponging good fortune and luck, they all became obedient.

"Second branch's wife, you bitch, you dare to scheme against my son." The Prince Anyuan Hou's wife's eyes were red with heartache, and she wished she could tear this sister-in-law apart: "No wonder my son was unwell. I didn't believe it..."

Seeing the black mist overflowing from the second branch tearing at her son's auspicious cloud, the Prince Anyuan Hou's eyes were about to split. He didn't care if she was his sister-in-law anymore and strode over, lifting his foot to kick the second branch's poisonous woman flying, almost kicking her to death.

The Prince Anyuan Hou's wife pounced over and scratched and beat her: "I'll beat you to death, you harmful bitch."

"Don't beat my mother." The second branch's cousin tried to break up the fight.

Lu Xin and the others went over and kicked the second branch's cousin down. Several young masters punched and kicked. Suddenly, several figures in skirts joined in. The Marquis Manor's concubine-born daughters also lifted their skirts and kicked, wanting to beat this poisonous woman to death.
