Chapter 48 [Do It All]
"Could it be that she’s even more powerful than you?", Uncle Qing’s hand trembled: "Junior Sister, you have to protect me!"
"I’m not invincible. You don’t need to hold me in such high regard.", the woman in purple shook her head and said: "Whether this punishment is the end or just the beginning, no one knows what will come next..."
Uncle Qing’s face turned pale.
The woman in purple looked into Uncle Qing’s eyes and said slowly: "If you want to mitigate disasters, it’s best to listen to me and follow my instructions."
Uncle Qing took a deep breath: "I’ll listen! I’ll definitely listen to you, Junior Sister!"
He accompanied his smile, waited for the woman in purple to sit down again, and then asked: "Junior Sister, what should I do?"
"Who have you offended lately?"
"Uh..." Uncle Qing looked embarrassed.
The woman in purple’s eyes held a trace of mockery: "Oh, don’t know, or have you deceived so many people that you can’t remember?"
"Not, not that many. Besides, I conduct my actions discreetly, even if I swindle some money, ordinary people might not notice..."
"Tell me everything!", the woman in purple hated her senior brother’s greed and stupidity, gritted her teeth and said: "If you want to avoid disaster, tell me everything you’ve done recently one by one!
Not a single thing is to be hidden! If you conceal anything and miss the real clue, you could end up dead in their hands, and I won’t be able to help you!"
Though embarrassed, under the woman in purple’s intimidation, Uncle Qing finally reluctantly disclosed.
In a brief moment, he revealed three recent "businesses" where he duped people out of money through deceitful tactics.
The woman in purple listened, expressionless, then coldly said: "Continue talking, I don’t believe it’s just these three cases."
"Um... indeed there’s another one, it’s President Fang’s case.", Uncle Qing looked apprehensively at his junior sister.
The woman in purple frowned, coldly staring at Uncle Qing: "President Fang? What did you do to President Fang!"
"I, I performed a ritual for him in that, um, that haunted house. You know about that haunted house, Junior Sister.", Uncle Qing became increasingly uneasy, his voice growing quieter.
"Of course I know! I personally performed the ritual for that haunted house when President Fang bought it! What I want to ask is, that house originally had some Qi of Yin Sha, but I had already cleared it thoroughly!
Why did President Fang invite you for another ritual at the same house?"
Uncle Qing’s face turned red, his guilty eyes darting around.
The woman in purple stared at Uncle Qing: "A month ago, President Fang told me that the end of the year is approaching, and he wanted some small blessings items to give to people.
I was invited to the Northern State and couldn’t extricate myself, so I thought this small task of blessing items could be done by you, senior brother. That’s why I introduced President Fang to you... What did you do?"
"I... didn’t do much..."
"Speak!", the woman in purple said coldly.
"I..." Uncle Qing’s face tightened, flushing as he lowered his head and whispered: "I thought the business of blessing items is small, not much profit. President Fang looked wealthy. So I... I... used a little trick on him."
"A little trick?", the woman in purple laughed angrily: "Senior brother is too modest, what exactly did you do to President Fang?"
"I... just... gave him a box of Bone-Burning Incense that I made myself..."
"...", the woman in purple’s face turned pale, angrily glaring at Uncle Qing. After a long while, her expression became complex, her voice trembling slightly with rage as she grit her teeth and said: "Well! Senior brother certainly knows how to make money! So you gave President Fang Bone-Burning Incense, and after he lit it, he naturally got affected by the grievance, leading to frequent minor illnesses?
Then, senior brother you pretended that the haunted house is causing the trouble, deceiving him into paying for another ritual? Senior brother you are truly skilled!"
After sneering a few times, the woman in purple suddenly stopped laughing, glaring at Uncle Qing coldly: "Senior brother, I know you’re greedy, you use tricks to deceive people without guilt... you’ve always treated outsiders that way!
I’m simply asking, using such a trick on President Fang, did you ever consider it might affect me?"
Uncle Qing dared not speak, lowering his head silently.
"President Fang was introduced by me. If he sees through your trick, he’ll inevitably turn against me as well. Did you consider that?
Even if your trick is ingenious, President Fang is kept in the dark.
I’m guessing you told him the haunted house is causing trouble, hence his bad luck recently, right?
Yet the ritual for his haunted house was done by me initially!
You are my senior brother, but you told President Fang the initial ritual was poorly done. Where does that leave me?"
After saying this, the woman in purple took a deep breath: "I used to think that senior brother you are greedy and unrighteous to others, but at least you still respected and considered me, your junior sister. I never expected that in front of money, senior brother you treat everyone the same, even selling me out."
With that, the woman in purple abruptly stood up and turned to leave!
Seeing her rushing out of the tea house, Uncle Qing hurriedly chased after her, kneeling on the ground, grabbing her qipao hem!
Uncle Qing called out loudly: "Junior Sister! Junior Sister! I’m wrong!! I’m wrong!! Please, you must save me!!"
"... You!" The woman in purple was worried that her dress might be torn, reluctantly stopped, and said coldly: "Let go!"
"I won’t! Junior Sister, only you can save me now! I promise this is the last time! Senior brother truly knows he’s wrong this time! I..."
The woman in purple’s face flushed as her skirt was being tugged, stomped her foot: "Let go!"
"Please, Junior Sister, show me a way out!" Uncle Qing pitifully pleaded — he was indeed scared!
This swindler’s biggest support in his heart was this mystically adept junior sister, if even she wouldn’t help him...
His junior sister just mentioned that the person only attracted some snakes, insects, and rats with Yin Qi this time.
What if the person uses Evil Blood Qi next?
What if there’s a next move?
The woman in purple frowned, watched Uncle Qing for a while, then took a deep breath and said through grit teeth: "You... let go first, then we’ll talk."
"Junior Sister is willing to help me?"
"...Humph!"
Uncle Qing finally let go, and the woman in purple turned back to the tea table and sat down again.
"Continue talking, what else did you do?"
"Nothing, this time there’s really no more.", Uncle Qing hurriedly shook his head: "I swear, there really is no more. During the time you were away, I only did the few things I mentioned just now."
The woman in purple looked at the bruises on Uncle Qing’s forehead: "Then what’s with the injuries on your face?"
"This... someone troubled me, sent some little thugs to ambush me..."
The woman in purple sneered: "Well done! Someone probably saw through your tactics and got angry, then sent people for revenge. Do you really think everyone in this world is a fool?
You like to trick rich people because they spend money generously, but did you ever think that if powerful people retaliate, their methods would be more brutal?"
Uncle Qing dared not retort, continuously bowing and pleading for help.
The woman in purple closed her eyes and thought for a bit: "The expert targeting you is hidden in the dark. To resolve this trouble, unless you settle things peacefully."
"Settle things peacefully? But we need to find out who’s behind it first, don’t we?"
"We can’t find them.", the woman in purple sneered: "They hide among us. Since we can’t identify them, then settle everything peacefully!"
"Ah?"
"The things you mentioned, the money you deceived, return it all tomorrow. Say you lack skill and can’t accept payment, return all the money."
Uncle Qing was stunned: "Return everything? That’s quite a lot of money, three cases add up to hundreds of thousands. I’ve already suffered significant losses..."
The woman in purple sneered: "If you want money over your life, that’s up to you."
Uncle Qing grimaced: "Fine, I’ll... return the money."
The woman in purple continued slowly: "For President Fang, I’ll meet him personally. Whatever compensation or solutions needed, I’ll handle it. But you’ll bear the costs."
Uncle Qing didn’t dare refuse, only agreed.
"And the case where you were beaten.", the woman in purple thought: "Go withdraw the case tomorrow. Reconcile and settle privately. I guess someone you deceived got angry and hired people. Resolve this matter too."
"Is that necessary? Someone sent thugs to hit me, but using a high-level mystical technique against me— these methods are clearly different and not from the same source.", Uncle Qing complained: "Junior Sister, we fear the hidden expert, I understand! I will endure! But the attack was mundane, shouldn’t I retaliate?"
"Can’t find them, so settle all possible issues. I’m worried about missing something..."
"Junior Sister, I will follow your advice, not pursue the mastermind, which is settling things silently. But the three small thugs— they humiliated me, cut my hair— don’t I have the right to vent my anger on them?"
Seeing Uncle Qing’s resentment, the woman in purple understood that she couldn’t push him too far, shook her head and said: "Fine, let’s leave that matter be."
Then she stood up: "Senior brother, it’s late, I’ll head back. You take care from now on!"

In the morning, Chen Yan got up from bed, sat for a moment in thought.
He habitually used Destiny Cycle to calculate his luck, found nothing unusual, then proceeded with his routine.
From the luxurious master bedroom, he went downstairs to the living room, where he saw a slender woman sitting cross-legged on the sofa, meditating.
The woman’s back was straight, her long neck and back formed a line. Her thick black hair was braided into a side plait, with hands resting on her knees, palms up, forming Fingerprints.
Seeing this figure, Chen Yan felt a shiver down his spine.
...I still find this absurd — how did I end up with an extra mom?
The villa had floor heating, keeping the room warm as spring, Gu Qingyi naturally didn’t wear thick coats.
She was wearing a thin cashmere sweater, tightly fitting to her body, her back view making her curves alluring.
Chen Yan carefully averted his gaze.
Can’t look, can’t look...
He couldn’t help but think: What in the world is going on.
Thought it was a childhood engagement, turns out to be his late father’s legitimate wife.
So beautiful, living together...
What kind of elements are these! Look at it!
Virgin widow, beautiful stepmother, living together...
This ain’t looking like a decent story, seems like a full-speed rush towards a script plot!
Which dog author wrote such an absurd plot!
