The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 105

[Raw?! Why raw? Is he crazy? Puke]

[My mom says the powder on butterflies is toxic. Will eating them really not kill you?]

[Magpie said her family has problems. Could it be because of this...]

"My husband did have a problem, but it's not because of that. He got into a car accident on the way to pick up my daughter from school," Magpie hurriedly clarified for her husband.

She looked over at Master Yu Yuan's face—and saw how serious she was. Her heart sank.
"Master..."

Her voice started trembling again.
"Is my husband... beyond saving?"

"Hm?" Yu Yuan snapped out of her "butterfly" thoughts.

This afternoon, she'd heard that symbol—"butterfly"—from that little ghost, and now hearing it again made her heart skip.
"No, I'm just thinking."

Magpie was sitting on the steps, and she could vaguely see the edge of the security door to the room behind her.

"Can you go inside your house for a moment? I need to check where those Bagua mirrors are hung."

"Do I really have to go in?" Magpie didn't want to. The things happening in that house were terrifying, and she was reluctant to go back.

"Go," her sister-in-law pulled her up from the floor. "I'm with you, and Master Yu Yuan is watching over there too. Nothing will happen."

Magpie glanced at the calm Yu Yuan and figured it probably wouldn't be life-threatening. She nodded and followed her sister-in-law back inside.

The room hadn't been entered for three days and looked the same as when they left. The sofa near the balcony was strewn with unfolded clothes, and glass jars filled with butterflies were everywhere.

The butterflies inside were colorful—every color you could imagine—but they were all completely still. She wasn't sure if any of them were alive.

Magpie held her phone and went out onto the balcony.
"The first Bagua mirror is hung here. The master said it's to gather good energy in the room."

"The other one's over by the bathroom." She turned and walked to the sink where she first saw the little girl in the red dress. A small Bagua mirror hung above the mirror, looking kind of eerie.

"The master said the mirror here holds a lot of negative energy. My husband and I were going to throw it out, but the master said that would release whatever's inside, so we just hung the Bagua mirrors instead..."

As she explained where the Bagua mirrors were, she kept watching Yu Yuan's expression closely. Seeing her furrow her brows and her body tense like she wanted to run, Magpie forced herself to stay since her sister-in-law was in the room.

"Master Yu, is there something wrong with our house?"

"There's nothing wrong with your house at all. On the contrary, aside from the accident upstairs, your feng shui is actually very good. Both the location and the decor follow top-quality feng shui principles."

"Really?" Magpie smiled a little, rare for her. "My brother picked out this place, and after that, he hired a feng shui master to design the renovations. It's basically my dowry. Before this, my husband and I had no problems living anywhere else..."

Thinking of her husband and daughter still in the hospital, her smile faded into sadness. Before she could sink into despair, Yu Yuan's voice came softly.

"Your feng shui is good, but those Bagua mirrors? Not so much."

"Take those two Bagua mirrors down and smell them. See if they have a bloody smell."

"Bul**hit!"

"Slander! Pure slander!"

"For fame and profit, this Yu Yuan really used every dirty trick in the book!"

In Baiyun City, inside the Fang family's traditional Chinese-style living room, an antique rosewood cabinet neatly displayed precious antiques from various dynasties. Several elders of the Fang family sat in grand official chairs, while above the living room entrance hung a modern tech-style screen, currently streaming Yu Yuan's livestream.

Hearing Yu Yuan say there was a bloody smell on the Bagua mirror, the branch head of the Shancheng Celestial Master Association immediately stood up, slamming the table loudly, unable to hold back a string of curses.

"Clan leader," he said, his face red with anger, ignoring the knowing looks around him, and saluted the leader, "everyone knows what kind of person my senior brother is. If it weren't for the whole Fang family, he wouldn't have ended up with a crippled leg! There's no way he'd hang something like that in an ordinary family's home!"

"And my junior brother too," thinking of his junior brother still bedridden from backlash, the branch head's chest heaved, his eyes dark and bloodshot, "it was all that Yu Yuan and those despicable, shameless people conspiring together that caused my junior brother's backlash! Clan leader, this Yu Yuan can't be allowed to stay!"

The Fang family clan leader's expression was indifferent; he didn't even raise his eyelids.

The clan leader didn't speak, and the people below immediately started to argue back.

A man beside him in a white long robe put down his teacup and said with a cool smile, "Back then, Branch Head Fang's senior brother did indeed contribute to the Fang family, but that crippled leg can't be blamed on the Fang family. If he hadn't been so reckless and arrogant, thinking he could take down that fox demon alone, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

"That's true." A man in a yellow robe in the corner pinched his goatee and said, "Senior Brother Fang's approach back then was indeed improper. But this bloody smell on the Bagua mirror..."

Everyone present understood: if the Bagua mirror was stained with blood and hung in a home, it must be a great evil object.

The yellow-robed Taoist glanced at the trembling Branch Head Fang, his expression conflicted. "It's been years since I've seen Senior Brother Fang. If he turned to unorthodox methods to heal that crippled leg..."

"Yellow Robe*!" Branch Head Fang stared at him in disbelief, slammed the table, and stood up, pointing at Yellow Robe Taoist's nose, "Back when my senior brother was powerful, you were still washing dishes in a restaurant. If it weren't for my senior brother helping you out, do you think you could have entered the Celestial Master Hall?"

(*it's indeed 'yellow robe' 😅)

"Branch Head Fang, you shouldn't say that." The Yellow Robe Taoist raised his eyebrows coldly, "Gratitude is gratitude, order is order. How could I be the kind of person who disregards the Celestial Master Hall's rules for personal gain? Besides, Senior Brother Fang is no longer part of our Celestial Master Hall. What do you mean by handing business to outsiders? If something happens to that family, you bear half the responsibility!"
