"Miss, have you been possessed by evil spirits?"

Xiao Huan was utterly terrified by Jin Yuping's behavior.

Shi Jing also felt that something was wrong and told Xiao Huan to pull Jin Yuping back, but she just shouted at them to scram.

"She’s gone mad, this woman has lost her mind!" Shi Jing’s calf was in pain, but now, he was also gripped by fear.

‘Why is she acting so strangely? Is she sick?’

Especially when he saw her drawing blood from her own fingers, this bizarre behavior resembled some kind of witchcraft or curse, and a chill ran down Shi Jing’s spine.

"Shut up!"

Jin Yuping glared at Shi Jing and Xiao Huan like a madwoman.

The two immediately fell silent, afraid that she might have learned some kind of witchcraft that could curse them.

Jin Yuping continued using her blood to test the prayer beads… 20, 50, 80...

She had pricked every finger on her left hand for blood, and from squeezing them so hard, her fingertips had turned ghostly white.

But after testing so many, none of them was a Spiritual Spring Space, which made Jin Yuping grew increasingly anxious.

‘Why was this happening? Why?!’

She refused to believe her luck could be this bad. She had tested nearly a hundred beads, how could she still not have found the Spiritual Spring Space?

Jin Yuping then pricked her right hand’s fingers. One bead, no, another, still no...

By the time only a few beads remained, her eyes had turned red, and she kept muttering, "Space, my space..."

At this time, Fengtian was floating in the air. Seeing Jin Yuping like this, it couldn’t help but click its tongue.

‘It seems that in the original timeline, the Spiritual Spring Space had brought Jin Yuping immense benefits. That’s why she remained so obsessed with it even after being reborn.’

In the end, after testing all 107 beads and finding none to be the space, Jin Yuping clutched the prayer beads with a twisted, terrifying expression.

"Impossible!"

‘My luck couldn’t possibly be this bad, otherwise, I wouldn't have become the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion in my past life, and I wouldn't have been reborn after death.’

‘Since I now had foreknowledge, I was destined to rise even higher.’

‘But why was there no Spiritual Spring Space among these beads?!’

Jin Yuping refused to accept it. She was afraid that she might have missed something, so she started testing them all over again.

Her fingers had no more blood left, but it didn't matter. She smashed the clay pot and used the pottery shards to slit her wrist.

This time, there was plenty of blood, so Jin Yuping retested each bead.

But it’s still nothing!

Jin Yuping was on the verge of breaking down.

‘Was Heavens playing some cruel joke on me? Was the missing bead the one that held the Spirit Spring Space?’

"My bead, my bead…" Jin Yuping ignored the wounds on her hands, and crawled on the ground and searched every corner for the lost prayer bead.

The wooden hut wasn’t that big, and she combed through every nook and cranny, but the bead seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"Did you two take my bead?"

Jin Yuping stared at Shi Jing and Xiao Huan. Her hair was disheveled, her face pale and smeared with dirt, making her look like a madwoman.

"This servant doesn’t know what Miss is talking about..."

Xiao Huan was so scared that she waved her hands repeatedly.

Shi Jing couldn't bear it anymore. He propped himself and slapped Jin Yuping across the face with all his strength, making her ears ring and blood trickle from her nose and mouth.

"Have you gone crazy enough? I think you are possessed by a demon!"

In all their years of marriage, Shi Jing had never once hit Jin Yuping.

Since Jin Yuping was already weakened from blood loss, the force of the slap knocked her unconscious, causing another round of chaos.

Now, with one master lame and the other insane, Xiao Huan was utterly exhausted.

The bed wasn’t big, and Shi Jing, with his injured leg, refused to share it with the madwoman no matter what, so Xiao Huan had no choice but to give up her own bedding for Jin Yuping.

By the time she had humbly begged someone to bandage Jin Yuping’s wounds, it was already night.

Xiao Huan was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back. She ate a wild vegetable steamed bun in two or three bites and nearly choked to death.

Late at night, after confirming that Jin Yuping was still unconscious and Shi Jing was asleep, Xiao Huan took out a single bead from her clothes. It was the prayer bead that Jin Yuping had been looking for but couldn't find.

Jin Yuping’s behavior during the day had been so bizarre, as if there was some big secret hidden in the prayer bead, so Xiao Huan was burning with curiosity.

She was afraid that having a wound somewhere else would arouse Jin Yuping's suspicion, she secretly pricked her arm and smeared some blood on the bead.

As a result, the bead remained completely unchanged!

Xiao Huan concluded that Jin Yuping must have lost her mind.

She carefully hid the prayer bead close to her body and closed her eyes.

Early the next morning, someone banged on the door, shouting for them to get up. Xiao Huan opened the door sleepily, and the overseer barged in.

"Lazy wretches, still sleeping? Why don't you get up to recite the sutras?"

The overseer was furious when he saw the scattered beads.

‘The Count had explicitly ordered that this woman must kneel and chant scriptures for forty-nine days. Yet she had broken the prayer beads… what was she trying to do? Rebel?’

The overseer didn't care whether Jin Yuping was unwell or not, and the whip in his hand whipped her mercilessly.

"Get up and chant the sutras!"

Jin Yuping had just dreamed that she drank the Spiritual Spring Water and her skin turned fair and tender. She was enchanting Mingting utterly when the pain jolted her awake.

When she opened her eyes and saw the furious overseer, Jin Yuping had not yet recovered from her slumber. After being whipped two more times, she finally snapped back to reality and scrambled to her feet.

After waking Jin Yuping up, the overseer pointed at Shi Jing and said,

"Get up! As long as you’ve got a breath left in you, you’re going down the mine to dig. Don’t play dead with me!"

Even if Shi Jing begged for mercy, the overseer refused to relent. Yesterday, a military officer had slipped him a silver note, telling him to give Shi Jing special ‘attention’.

Money talks.

So what if he had a broken leg? That was nothing!
