Wu Yan was stunned by the blow. It was not until she felt blood on her hands that she screamed and came to her senses.
"Mother!"
When Su Mingxuan heard the scream, he ran downstairs quickly. He was shocked to see Wu Yan's head covered in blood. He immediately asked the servant to bring a medicine box to bandage her and stop the bleeding.
Su Mingxuan is the eldest daughter of the Su family. She has graduated from university and is currently the director of the clothing company run by the second wife's family. The company is in Yuncheng, so she usually lives at home.
Shi Ling and Su Zhe'an, who arrived later, were also stunned by the chaos in the second wife's family.
Shi Ling hissed. She had never expected that Jiang Rong, the model of a wealthy lady who was always dignified and virtuous in public, could be so fierce in private. When she had violently assaulted Su Zhe'an at the Su family banquet, angering Jiang Rong, Jiang Rong had only mocked her for being uncultured and hadn't resorted to direct violence. She was truly restrained.
"Aunt, what are you doing?" Su Mingxuan looked at Jiang Rong angrily.
Jiang Rong sneered and kicked the jade Pixiu on the ground, even more angry than Su Mingxuan. "What did I do? Ask your mother what she meant by giving me this evil thing as a birthday present!"
Only then did Wu Yan notice that the thing Jiang Rong used to hit her was actually the jade Pixiu that she had given to Jiang Rong. Her heart skipped a beat and she felt a little guilty.
During this period, the eldest wife's family suffered frequent misfortunes, especially Su Zhe'an, who had several accidents and almost died. Wu Yan was secretly delighted, thinking that the jade Pixiu was indeed effective. However, she did not expect that Jiang Rong, who had been kept in the dark, actually discovered the clues of the jade Pixiu.
Su Mingxuan also recognized the jade Pixiu on the ground as a birthday gift from her mother to Jiang Rong. Seeing the gift being treated like this, she said indignantly, "Even if Auntie didn't like the birthday gift my mother gave you, she wouldn't have come to my house to complain, right? My family isn't as wealthy as Auntie's, so we can't afford a high-quality jade Pixiu. But this jade carving was obtained by my mother after a long time of begging at Wuzai Temple, and she begged for it specifically for you, Auntie. This kind of thought cannot be measured by money."
However, Su Mingxuan's words only added fuel to the fire for Jiang Rong.
"You asked for it specifically for me. Wu Yan, you really have good intentions." Jiang Rong sneered and glanced at Su Mingxuan who was standing up for Wu Yan. "Since Mingxuan thinks this is a good thing, then take it back and put it in your room."
Su Mingxuan felt a little puzzled, but at this moment she felt that her mother's kindness had been wasted. When she heard Jiang Rong's words, she picked up the jade Pixiu directly.
However, Wu Yan, who was bandaging the wound, was shocked. Remembering that the things on the jade Pi Xiu could really destroy a family, she immediately rushed over and pushed the jade Pi Xiu in Su Mingxuan's hand to the ground.
Su Mingxuan was stunned and looked at Wu Yan in surprise, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Wu Yan naturally couldn't admit that there was anything wrong with the jade Pixiu. She leaned against Su Mingxuan, covering the wound on her head, and said shakily, "I'm dizzy and I didn't stand steadily just now."
Jiang Rong sneered, "You're already quite old, why are you still pretending to be a naive person? Wu Yan, why don't you dare let Ming Xuan take this jade carving? Isn't it because you know that taking this jade carving will bring bad luck and eventually destroy your family?"
Su Mingxuan thought this was ridiculous. "Aunt, what's the point of saying it's unlucky or not? It's just an ordinary jade carving. You can't blame my mother's gift for your family's recent bad luck."
Jiang Rong: "Then take this and put it in your room."
Su Mingxuan: "Just take it."
