Reborn as a heiress, she transforms into a ruthless vengeful woman.

Chapter 175 devising a plan

Old Mrs. Ye's cloudy old eyes flashed with a fierce light. "You can go and see. But you must not touch anything. You cannot touch anything in the room with your hands, and you cannot stay for too long. When I tell you to leave, you must leave."

"If you break the rules, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Why can't I stay too long, Grandma?" Ye Xinghe blinked obediently, with a very curious expression. "Why can you stay inside all day, but I can't? I just want to learn from you, Grandma, otherwise you always say that we're not close."

"And even if I break the rules, Buddha will punish me. Grandma, please don't be angry."

Grandma Ye snorted coldly, "With your meager skills, I could easily deal with you. Why would you need Buddha?!"

"If you want me to be less angry, just stay away from me. Letting me have some peace and quiet is better than anything else!"

Ye Xinghe caught a glimpse of her grandfather coming down the stairs and heading this way. She grabbed the bag from Grandma Ye's arm. "Grandma, let me carry it up for you. I'll go with you upstairs..."

Before Ye Xinghe could finish speaking, Old Madam Ye shoved her away agitatedly, "Don't touch my things! Didn't I just tell you to stay away from me!"

Ye Xinghe deliberately leaned back and slowly sat down on the ground, smiling as she said, "Grandma, you're so strong! I'm happiest knowing you're healthy!"

Grandma Ye stepped forward, about to continue scolding Ye Xinghe, but was sternly rebuked by Grandpa Ye, "Why did you push her!"

Grandma Ye was startled and turned around blankly. She didn't expect that the old man had seen her, and she clearly hadn't used much force.

"Look at what you're saying, how could I push Hehe?" Grandma Ye smiled broadly, and also gave Ye Xinghe a rare smile. "This child is naughty, I was just playing with her, right, Hehe?"

"You mean you're just joking around, and all you want is for your granddaughter to stay away from you?" Old Master Ye said coldly, his face dark. "Do you think I didn't hear what you said? You're trying to fool me."

Seeing that she couldn't find any other excuse, Grandma Ye turned to Ye Xinghe for help, "Hehe, quickly tell your grandfather if you were just joking with Grandma. Your grandfather doesn't believe you."

Ye Xinghe stood up, patted her clothes, and said, "Grandpa, Grandma is right. She was just teasing me."

A hint of smugness flashed across Grandma Ye's face, and then Ye Xinghe continued, "Grandma said that if you want her to be happy, you should stay away from her. How is that possible? What grandparents don't want their children around them every day?"

"I think Grandma must be joking with me! Right, Grandma?"

Grandma Ye glared at her fiercely, then put on a kind face. "This girl is so clever! She always likes to joke with her grandma."

Ye Xinghe quickly took the old lady's arm and looked at Grandpa Ye, "Grandma wants me to stay here tonight and accompany her to worship Buddha tomorrow."

Grandma Ye's expression changed several times. She gave a mumbled reply and went straight back to her room to change her clothes.

Ye Xinghe pondered, "When I went to get my bag, the old lady reacted strongly, so there must be something important inside. And the fact that she agreed to let me into the Buddhist prayer room means that everything there has been hidden or moved."

"Then the two trees and the grass in the yard are very likely the things that were originally placed in the Buddhist worship room."

She still needs to talk to Qiao Lin about how to handle these things.

It's impossible to pull off a "switcheroo" like last time. We don't know what's buried underneath, what it looks like, and there's no way to get something nearly identical in such a short time.

“I do have an idea, but it might be a bit risky.” Qiao Lin stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, “We can set a fire, burn both trees and the grass, and burn that thing down there.”

“This method won’t work.” Ye Xinghe immediately rejected it. “First, it’s too dangerous. What if the fire gets out of control and burns down the house?”

"Furthermore, these three locations are too far apart. If they catch fire at the same time, it would easily arouse suspicion."

Qiao Lin looked at Ye Xinghe with a determined gaze, "Miss, I think my method is feasible."

"When I was setting up the site just now, I saw that there is an automatic irrigation system in the yard. If a fire breaks out, we can just turn on the water pipes. Besides, it's only a small area, and the weather isn't dry right now, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"As for being suspected, I think it's even less likely."

"Did you forget that we're going to set off fireworks after dinner?"

Ye Xinghe's eyes flickered, and she hesitated for a moment before asking, "But if we burn it directly, will that stuff be completely disposed of? Won't there be any problems later?"

"Moreover, these infant spirits originally had the opportunity to be released from suffering. It's so pitiful to think about those little infant spirits who were imprisoned for profit. They died young and still have to suffer after death."

Qiao Lin shook his head. "Once these infant spirits are placed in a vessel and then receive the interaction of human essence, they are already evil beings. The possibility of them being released is very small."

"Besides, it's hard to say whether the things buried underground have spirits. Even if they do, it's even harder to say whether they are infant spirits. Eliminating them as soon as possible will prevent them from harming people, which can be considered as doing them a good deed."

Ye Xinghe pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's do it your way."

“When we set off fireworks at night, I’ll take care of the front yard and the lawn, and you’ll take care of the back yard.”

"I'll go to the kitchen and get some oil. I'll sprinkle some on the tree roots and the grass so it'll be easier to set on fire."

After the two discussed it, it was already close to evening.

The birthday party is about to begin.

Ye Shuang, the protagonist of the day, sat elegantly at one end of the long table. On either side of her were her parents and grandparents.

People like Ye Xinghe, who were her peers, and her classmates were all seated at the end of the table.

Before it officially began, Ye Shuang had a few words to say, which she had decided more than two months ago, right after graduation.

The maid brought the cake out. Ye Shuang slowly stood up and stood behind the cake.

All eyes were fixed on what was ahead.

Ye Shuang is indeed prettier than usual today. However, she gives off a feeling of being too glamorous and trying too hard.

"I am very happy to see everyone here for my birthday party. Thank you to my mom and dad for giving me such a grand celebration."

"My first birthday wish is for my family to be healthy and safe."
