The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Show Off a Skill

Mr. Meng and Madam Meng glanced at each other, seeing the same suspicion in one another’s eyes.

“Xuan Lang, at a time like this, do you still have the mood to joke around like this?” Mr. Meng directly admonished, “Your sister is still lying in bed!”

“Uncle Meng, Aunt Meng, you can’t judge someone solely by their appearance!”

Before Meng Kai Rui could even speak, Zhao Xuanlang jumped in, “This is my boss, her abilities are tremendous! If it weren’t for her stepping in to save me previously, I wouldn’t even be here talking to you now.”

Suppressing his displeasure, Mr. Meng said, “Xuan Lang, I know you want to help us. But there should be a limit to everything, and right now, we really aren’t in the mood for jokes.”

Madam Meng directly issued an eviction order, “Xuan Lang, our home isn’t very accommodating for visitors right now, you should go back first!”

“It’s not that, I—” Zhao Xuanlang wanted to say more.

But he was abruptly pulled aside by Zhong Niangyao by the collar, “Mr. Meng, Mrs. Meng, do you not believe in me because I am young?”

She wasn’t angry about Mr. Meng and Madam Meng’s doubts. Putting herself in their shoes, if she saw a girl in her twenties declaring herself a master, she would be skeptical too.

“Young lady, we don’t know what you’re capable of, but our family matters aren’t something you can interfere with.”

Mr. Meng eyed Zhong Niangyao and urged, “Moreover, at your young age, you probably don’t want to lose your life here, do you?”

Previously, they hadn’t failed to invite masters. However, as soon as those masters entered their home and felt the chill, they shook their heads and left hastily without a backward glance.

He had no idea what abilities this young lady possessed, but if so many established masters could not solve the issue, how could such a young girl succeed?

Hearing these words, Zhong Niangyao’s expression didn’t change as she glanced around, “The yin energy in your house is very heavy, living here isn’t good for the health of the living!”

Without looking at the reaction of Mr. and Madam Meng, she pulled a piece of talisman paper from her bag and nonchalantly tossed it into the air.

Everyone was puzzled by Zhong Niangyao’s actions.

Then, they saw the talisman paper ignite in mid-air without a flame. However, what shocked them the most wasn’t the combustion; it was the room temperature, previously quite cool, gradually began to rise. Eventually, they even felt a hint of warmth.

The temperature matched that of the outside.

Because the temperature inside the house was always low, they didn’t bother with air conditioning even on this hot summer day, which led to the uncomfortable warmth indoors as the room temperature rose.

The sticky feeling on their skin didn’t make Mr. and Madam Meng uncomfortable, but actually brought a deep sense of relief and joy from within. They hadn’t felt such warmth in this room for half a month.

“Master, you must save my daughter!” Madam Meng stepped forward and grasped Zhong Niangyao’s hand, “She is young, and if this continues, she really might die.”@@novelbin@@

After this incident, the attitude of Mr. and Madam Meng, as well as Meng Kai Rui, towards Zhong Niangyao changed drastically.

The previous masters had felt the chill upon entering and left immediately. Yet this young lady, despite her youth, had restored the temperature of the house in no time. Such a feat was not something ordinary people could achieve.

Now they genuinely believed that maybe this young lady could indeed help their daughter.

“I told you my boss is powerful!” Zhao Xuanlang beamed with shared pride, “When my life was swapped, it was the boss who saved me.”

“Master—” Mr. Meng had just begun to speak when he saw Zhong Niangyao raise her hand to stop him.

“Don’t call me master,” Zhong Niangyao gestured, shaking her head, “Just call me Lady Zhong.”

She was not acquainted with the Meng Family, so naturally, she wouldn’t let them use her given name. However, she also didn’t like being called master, so addressing her as Lady Zhong was best.

“Alright, Lady Zhong,” Mr. Meng quickly said, “you must help my daughter; we don’t know if something unclean has attached itself to her. Now she’s all skin and bones. If this goes on, she’s sure to die.”

Madam Meng, holding Zhong Niangyao’s hand, refused to let go, her eyes brimming with pleading.

“Having come here, I won’t stand idly by,” Zhong Niangyao withdrew her hand and continued, “I’ve heard your son’s account of the situation. But to determine exactly what is happening, I need to see your daughter first.”

“Xiao Rou is upstairs.”

Madam Meng hurriedly said, “I’ll take you to her right now.”

Quickly, the group made their way upstairs.

Zhao Xuanlang naturally joined them; this matter had nothing to do with him. But he couldn’t contain his curiosity which is why he wanted to see for himself.

Besides, as Zhong Niangyao’s follower, he naturally had to help during this time.

Although the Meng Family didn’t air their dirty laundry in public, Zhao Xuanlang had introduced her. Furthermore, because Zhao Xuanlang and their son had grown up together, they knew his character; he was definitely not one to gossip, so they didn’t stop him.

Soon, the group arrived at a room’s door.

Unlike the increased temperatures in the rest of the house, even before opening the door, they could feel the chill seeping through the cracks.

This coldness wasn’t the same as what they felt when they entered the house; it was a kind that seemed to freeze one to the bone.

“Why is it so cold?” Zhao Xuanlang couldn’t help rubbing his hands together, then turned to Meng Kai Rui, “Xiao Rou is living in this room; she’ll freeze to death! Don’t you think of turning on the heating for her?”

“We’ve thought of that too,” Meng Kai Rui said with a wry smile and a shake of his head. “But no matter how high we turn up the heater, it’s no use.”
