Su Mingxuan, leaning in Wu Yan's arms, widened her eyes in disbelief, her brain once again concussed by her mother's words.
She looked down at the jade Pixiu in her arms, a little dazed: "Mom, is what my aunt said true? Can this thing really bring bad luck to people?"
"Why are you still holding it!" Wu Yan immediately threw the jade Pixiu aside, thinking it was unlucky.
Seeing Wu Yan's reaction, Su Mingxuan finally understood. Her mother had known from the beginning that there was something wrong with the jade Pixiu. She knew her mother and her aunt had a bad relationship and often quarreled, but she had never expected her mother to actually want to kill her uncle's family.
The Second Master and Second Young Master Su were not at home. Wu Yan, Su Mingxuan, and the housekeeper were all injured, and the villa was in chaos. In the end, Jiang Rong called an ambulance for Su Mingxuan because she didn't know what was going on.
The people living around the two villas of the Su family are all wealthy families in Yuncheng. Once the ambulance arrived, what happened in the Su family could no longer be concealed. It spread like a plague in the circle, and everyone was watching the fun.
Although most people don’t know what happened, one thing is clear: the first and second branches of the Su family have completely broken up.
When Old Madam Su learned about this, she was furious. She took Uncle Su to the main house to settle the score with Jiang Rong, and took advantage of her seniority to ask Su Mian to divorce Jiang Rong.
But after Su Mian learned the whole story from Jiang Rong, he thought about the consequences of his family's luck being stolen and became even angrier than Jiang Rong.
He laid out the whole matter to Mr. Su Er and Old Madam Su, and in turn asked Mr. Su Er to divorce Wu Yan, otherwise he would sever ties with the second wife.
Although Old Lady Su favors her younger son who is not doing well, and prefers her second daughter-in-law who is docile, obedient and willing to please her, it does not mean that she does not care about her eldest son and grandchildren.
Madam Su was old and already believed in such things, otherwise Wu Yan wouldn't have followed her lead and worshipped Buddha. When she heard Su Mian say that the jade Pixiu had evil spirits, as confirmed by a master, and that the eldest wife had indeed been unlucky recently, she believed him.
She could not tolerate Wu Yan's use of evil magic to kill her eldest son's family, so she immediately turned her spearhead against Wu Yan, demanding that Mr. Su divorce Wu Yan and kick this vicious woman out of the house.
But Second Master Su refused to believe such fallacies. Even for the sake of his two children and his father-in-law's family, he would never divorce Wu Yan. Thus, the relationship between Old Lady Su and Wu Yan, the model of a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a wealthy family, finally fell apart. Old Lady Su would find fault at every turn, and her behavior was even more aggressive than before towards Jiang Rong.
…
Jiang Rong was very grateful to Shi Ling for helping their family get rid of bad luck, and specially invited her and Xi Jin to stay for dinner.
"Shi Ling, if you return the jade Pi Xiu, it should stop bothering our family, right?" Ignoring Shi Ling's unladylike manners, Jiang Rong's liking for Shi Ling continued to grow.
Shi Ling nodded politely, considering the sumptuous meal on the table. "Don't worry. I've taken Xu Hao away. Just be careful not to accept anything from Wuzai Temple, and don't go there either."
Jiang Rong nodded. She had never been interested in those religions and didn't usually go there. She had lived in Yuncheng for over forty years and knew full well that Wuzai Temple wasn't some ancient temple.
After the meal, Su Mian handed Shi Ling a check for one million. "Shi Ling, this is a small gift from your uncle. Thank you so much this time. Our Su family owes you a favor. If you have any troubles in the future, please feel free to come to us. If the Shi family makes things difficult for you, you can also ask us for help."
