“The Yan family might not want this marriage.” Qi Ying sneered. “In that case, why don’t you worry about Zhang Ning’s marriage?”

Qi Ying didn’t know about Zhang Ning and Yan Bing, but she saw a Saturn in Zhang Ning’s astrolabe.

Saturn represented trials and tribulations, and her corresponding constellation was Pisces. This combination filled Zhang Ning’s marriage with all kinds of bad luck and deception.

According to the constellations of the past few days, Saturn had been moving in reverse in her seventh palace. It could be seen that she must have been emotionally deceiving herself and indulging in fantasies recently.

“How do you know?”

Qi Ying shrugged. “I guessed it. You don’t have to worry about me. Since you’ve given your love to Zhang Ning for the past ten years, just continue to love her. There’s no need to pretend to be a loving mother and father here. There’s no need. I’m not fated with your family.”

“What are you talking about!”

Meng Lin wanted to walk over and stop Qi Ying.

However, Qi Ying walked very quickly and soon disappeared from their sight.

Meng Lin looked at Zhang Heng. “It’s all my fault. I didn’t manage to discipline this child well.”

Zhang Heng frowned and comforted his wife. “It doesn’t matter even if she’s unwilling to marry Yan Huai. We have to marry her over even if we have to tie her up. You have to worry about Xiao Ning and Yan Bin. We have to investigate how Qi Ying found out.”

Meng Lin nodded and sighed softly as she looked at the staircase.

Not long after Qi Ying returned to her room, she heard someone knocking on the door.

“Miss, you haven’t eaten since you came back, right? I’ve prepared some food for you.”

Qi Ying got out of bed and opened the door. It was Butler Ji. He was holding a tray with warm milk and a simple sandwich. There was also a sweet lemon crepe cake.

It was what Qi Ying liked to eat for breakfast.

“I don’t think you’ve eaten outside. I’ve prepared some for you. Master and Madam are just concerned. Don’t be angry.”

Qi Ying looked at the food on the plate and then at the butler.

Her biological parents didn’t care about her life and death. As soon as she returned, they scolded her. They didn’t even ask why she came home late and if she had eaten properly. However, this butler cared about her.

Although she had already eaten, Qi Ying still ate some.

“Eldest Miss, you should sleep early after eating.” The butler waited for her to finish eating and was about to walk out with the tray.

Suddenly, Qi Ying asked, “Is your son studying in Baicheng Second High School?”

“Yes, Miss.” The butler was puzzled. He had not told anyone about this.

He was from a single-parent family and raised his child alone. His son, Ji Cai, was in his third year of high school this year and was preparing to take the college entrance examination. However, after moving in with a new roommate last month, he had not been sleeping well and his results had decreased a lot.

“Is he not sleeping well recently? He’s a little nervous.”

The butler nodded and looked at Qi Ying suspiciously.

Even Zhang Heng and Meng Lin did not know about this. How did she know?

Qi Ying stood up and took out an obsidian pendant from the drawer. The pendant was wrapped in golden threads and looked very mysterious.

“If your son carries this with him, his symptoms will be much better.”

Butler Ji did not accept the pendant and only looked at Qi Ying. “This thing looks very precious. I can’t accept your things casually.”

Butler Ji had been in the Zhang family for many years and had seen many sorcerers. When he saw the furnishings in Qi Ying’s room, he understood that she was probably an expert.

This kind of expert would not easily conduct divinations and exorcize evil spirits for others. Once they did so, they would definitely receive a very high reward. He could not accept it for no reason.

“This pendant is expensive, right? How much do you need? I’ll pay you.”

Qi Ying shook her head. “In the future, just help me arrange the same supper as today.”

Qi Ying also instructed Butler Ji to take note of her diet.

“Help me arrange these as my reward.”

Butler Ji nodded and accepted the pendant.

He knew very well that this effort could not offset the cost of exorcism and divination, but Qi Ying did not seem to give him a chance to refuse.

This Eldest Miss really had an extraordinary bearing.

“If there’s anything else, please feel free to instruct me.” With that, the butler left.

The moment he left, the lights in the room were turned off, leaving only darkness.
