The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

"Yes, master, I specifically came to thank you today."

Aunt Wu's face was all smiles. After she sat down in front of Zhong Niangyao's stall, she hurriedly took out an envelope from her bag that looked somewhat bulging.

She quickly placed the envelope in front of Zhong Niangyao and respectfully said, "Master, this is the money for the talisman paper from before."

After she brought the talisman paper home, she was skeptical. However, since it was free, she still had her daughter-in-law carry it.

Initially, her daughter-in-law was reluctant to wear it, considering it superstitious. Moreover, it was impossible to take it off even during baths. After all, it was just a piece of paper that would get wet upon contact with water.

To their surprise, it wasn't long before her daughter-in-law hurried out with the talisman paper. It was just ordinary talisman paper, but it remained dry even when wet. They tried other methods, such as burning it or cutting it with scissors, but nothing could damage it.

They realized that this talisman paper might really be a treasure.

Afterward, she instructed her daughter-in-law to wear the talisman paper at all times.

Having witnessed the power of the talisman paper, her daughter-in-law no longer resisted wearing it.

After witnessing the extraordinary nature of the talisman paper, she planned to pay as soon as possible. However, she hadn't expected an accident to occur that very day.

While her daughter-in-law was at work, a madman suddenly burst in. In the chaos, she was pushed down the stairs.

When she heard the news, her vision darkened, and she nearly fainted. Her family wasn't much better, and they hurried to the hospital.

On the way to the hospital, they prepared for the worst. They had little hope for the child, hoping only that the adult would be alright.

But, unexpectedly, when they reached the ward, her daughter-in-law was sitting unharmed on the hospital bed, eating an apple, and not looking injured at all.

Even the doctor nearby was amazed, admitting he had never seen such a case. A pregnant person having fallen from the stairs, not only did she not miscarry, but she was also completely unharmed. It was truly a miracle.

However, she was still a pregnant woman, so the hospital requested that she stay for observation for a couple of days.

Only after the doctors left, did her daughter-in-law recount what had happened. Apparently, when she fell down the stairs, she felt a sudden burning in her chest, but her body seemed protected, feeling no pain at all.

Then, she discovered that the talisman paper on her chest had disappeared, leaving only a red string and some ashes from burning.

She was shocked but dared not say anything until all the doctors had left before she recounted the events.

After hearing her daughter-in-law's account, Aunt Wu had only one thought - to rush to Tongtian Bridge and settle the payment for the talisman paper. However, when she arrived at Tongtian Bridge, she didn't see the other party's stall.

For the next few days, she came almost every day, wanting to settle the payment early. She worried that if she paid late and upset the other party, it would turn out badly.

"Master! If it weren't for you, my grandson would have really been gone this time," Aunt Wu's face was full of gratitude. "You are truly amazing."

Zhong Niangyao nodded, extended her hand, and accepted the envelope, "Now we are even."

Aunt Wu was truly grateful to Zhong Niangyao from the bottom of her heart. However, before she could even express her gratitude, she was suddenly shoved aside.

Naturally, being shoved so abruptly didn't improve Aunt Wu's mood.

She turned around, ready to scold. But when she saw the person who had shoved her, she found herself unable to utter a single curse.

The person who shoved her was a young man with dyed blond hair, Huang Mao. However, she didn't hold back her words because she was afraid. Instead, the man's condition seemed unusual.

He should have been a vibrant young man, yet he emitted a depressing aura of decay instead of youthful energy. His lifeless eyes and large dark circles said it all about how bad his condition was.

"Save me, master, please save me."

Huang Mao had come directly in front of Zhong Niangyao and then suddenly knelt down, repeatedly kowtowing and pleading for help.

Aunt Wu, and everyone else at the nearby stalls, was shocked by this sudden turn of events.

People quickly recognized him as Huang Mao, who had previously caused a disturbance at Zhong Niangyao's stall. Thinking back on what Zhong Niangyao had always prophesized accurately, everyone wondered if something dreadful had indeed befallen Huang Mao.
