"The child in my aunt's belly is precious. We must not let the evil spirit affect him... If anything happens to the child, you will be held responsible!" Zi Yi nodded repeatedly, his face turning pale with fear.

The third concubine was taken away, and the farce came to an end.

The people in the yard left one after another, and Master Jing'an was invited by the old lady to go to the Zen temple to chant scriptures and recite Buddhist scriptures.

In the end, only Ye Yunzi was left.

"Miss?" Zhilan walked over and called softly, not understanding why the young lady was still staying here.

Ye Yunzi raised her head and looked towards the roof.

Just when Zhilan was about to be beaten, a stone flew over and hit Ye Ziru's wrist accurately. Ye Yunzi knew that this was not a coincidence, and someone must have been lurking on the roof and witnessed it all.

At this time, there was no one on the roof and they had disappeared long ago.

Ye Yunzi pondered, "Who is that person?"

……

At the gate of Ye Mansion, Shen Siyan and the guards walked on the street, brushing off the dirt on their bodies.

"Luckily I ran fast, so she didn't notice me." Shen Siyan coughed. When he thought of Ye Yunzi's gaze sweeping over him, his heart tightened. In panic, he jumped directly from the roof, rolled twice on the grass, and was covered in dust.

Ye Yunzi was so alert that she actually noticed it. The guard couldn't help laughing, but when he saw Shen Siyan's cold eyes, he cleared his throat in a pretentious manner and instantly turned into an icy face.

"Sir, shall we go back home?" the guard asked cautiously.

"Yeah." Shen Siyan responded indifferently and started to walk. However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and his voice was cold: "You stay here and wait for that bald nun to come out. Then teach her a lesson for me." As he said this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his lips.

That old nun actually wanted to frame Ye Yunzi! The moment Ye Yunzi was wrongly accused of being a demon, he felt as if he had been pawed by a cat, and his mind was filled with only one thought: all those who bullied her would be finished.

"Understood, sir." An Feng whispered, his figure flashed, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

……

Ye Yunzi returned to Zijinyuan, took off her disguise of the day, and relaxed completely.

Yu Shu and Zhi Lan looked at her with concern, "Miss, you are amazing. You had already guessed that Master Jing An would make false accusations. Fortunately, we exchanged the copper coins in advance, otherwise we would have been tricked by her. The consequences..." Yu Shu's face turned pale, she couldn't even imagine it.

The copper coins had already been swapped by the two of them with great skill, which prevented Master Jing'an's conspiracy from succeeding.

"But why does Master Jing'an insist on wrongly accusing you, young lady? It seems like you have never met her before!" Yu Shu was puzzled.

Ye Yunzi glanced out the window, a sneer appearing on the corner of her mouth.

"Of course, this was the Third Aunt's scheme. But this time, she failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice. She failed to frame Ye Ziru and instead implicated her. She has been plagued by bad luck."

"Third Aunt?" Yu Shu's eyes widened. All this was actually caused by the Third Aunt?

"Do you remember that Third Aunt went out a few days ago?"

"remember."

"At that time, the Third Aunt went to Qingfu Tower and found her acquaintance, asking him to go to Qingyun Temple to collude with Master Jing'an. Master Jing'an accepted the money and agreed to come to the Ye Mansion, trying to push me into the fire pit."

Yu Shu was so angry that she stamped her feet. "So that's how it is. That Nun Jing'an is just a charlatan."

"That's right..." Ye Yunzi sat down leisurely and took a sip of tea. It didn't matter whether they were liars or not. The key was that she successfully counterattacked them.

"Now Third Aunt and Ye Ziru have completely fallen out of favor. According to Daddy's personality, he hates things related to gods and ghosts the most. He will definitely ignore Ye Ziru in the future." Ye Yunzi's hand gently stroked the edge of the teacup, her expression indifferent and unperturbed. "How can they turn things around? It's really a difficult problem."

"Miss, this is really great!" Yu Shu and Zhi Lan cheered in unison.

Yu Shu was a simple-minded girl. When she heard that Third Aunt and the others were having a hard time, she was very happy.

"It's good now. Third Aunt and the others won't dare to come to Zijin Courtyard to make trouble anymore, and you don't have to worry all day long!" Yu Shu was so happy that she danced with joy.

Ye Yunzi nodded. The Zijin Courtyard had indeed become much quieter these days. However, she frowned slightly, and a question popped up in her mind.

They had rigged the three coins so that no matter how they tossed them, the lotus would always face up. But strangely, when the coins rolled to the leaves' feet, all three coins turned out to face up. What was going on?

She didn't believe in ghosts or gods, and naturally didn't believe that Ye Ziru was possessed by a demon. Someone must be playing tricks on her...

Could it be that the guy who threw the stone before was the one who did it?

Ye Yunzi fell into deep thought, wondering who was helping her secretly.

"Zhilan, did you notice that there were other people on the roof at that time?" Ye Yunzi asked.

Zhilan shook her head, "I didn't see it."

"Okay, you guys go away first, I want to be alone for a while." Ye Yunzi waved her hand. Yu Shu and Zhi Lan followed her, added tea, lit some incense, and then left the room.

……

a few days later.

Ye Ziru was locked up in the ancestral hall, and no one knew what was going on inside. She was howling like a ghost every day. According to the servants at home, the fourth young lady had gone completely crazy, didn't recognize anyone, and was insane.

She ate the food directly from her hands.

He cursed from time to time, wishing Ye Yunzi a miserable death and vowed to get rid of all those who harmed her.

When the servants changed her clothes, she started beating them and scratched the nanny's face until it looked like a cat's.

These rumors spread quickly in the mansion. Everyone's face changed drastically when they heard them. They were afraid of being possessed by the evil spirit of the fourth young lady and stayed away from the ancestral hall.

When the news reached the ears of the Third Aunt, she was extremely distressed that her daughter had been tortured like this.

"Zi Ru, my Zi Ru..."

The third aunt wanted to go see Ye Ziru, but as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by two sturdy maids and was not allowed to take a step forward.

"The master has instructed that you, my aunt, cannot leave this yard or go to see the fourth young lady. The fourth young lady is acting crazy now and doesn't recognize anyone. What if she scratches you?" The nanny had a cold face and blocked the door.

"You...you..." The third aunt was so angry that she was shaking all over.

"I want to see my daughter, I want to see Ziru." She shouted anxiously.

"Don't worry, Auntie. There is someone to take care of the Fourth Young Lady. The old lady has specially sent a personal maid to serve her." The nanny tightly grasped the Third Auntie's wrist and dragged her into the house.

No matter how the Third Aunt struggled, she couldn't break free.

"Auntie, you should have a good rest!" The maid pushed the third aunt into the room and closed the door with a bang.
