After she spoke, everyone's attention was drawn to the white bottle with a chrysanthemum pattern. Inside the bottle were colorful chrysanthemums, among which a large yellow chrysanthemum stood out as particularly eerie.
"You mean there's something wrong with the chrysanthemums? That's unlikely. About a week ago, when Aunt Feng and I went grocery shopping, we met a pitiful girl whose family had been starving for several days. I gave her some food. The girl's family grows a lot of chrysanthemums, and she insisted on paying with the chrysanthemum pots. So Aunt Feng brought them back. There are still several pots in the backyard, and they're really well-maintained. The vase was also a gift from that girl."
"When the flowers wither, Aunt Feng will go to the backyard to pick a few stems and put them in a vase. The vases are all checked and cleaned every day, so there won't be any problems."
Gu Wanwan said succinctly, "Both the flowers and the vase are fine. Wan Ning, you should try it."
Fu Wanning took out a talisman necklace and approached the vase on the bedside table. Unexpectedly, when she was about five centimeters away from the vase, the necklace automatically flew away. "Sister-in-law, does this mean that good and evil cannot coexist?"
Upon seeing this, Sheng Chuxuan threw the necklace at the vase, and the next second, the necklace bounced off again.
Sheng Qing was heartbroken. He quickly picked up the necklace from the ground, dusted it off, and said, "It's such a waste that it gave me an extra life."
"I have plenty, I don't need anything." Sheng Chuxuan said at the racetrack. This is the benefit of being a daughter-in-law of the Gu family. Not only can she get the protection of her sister-in-law, but she can also get guidance from her sister-in-law and become a capable person.
"You don't need it, but I do." Sheng Qing carefully hung it around his neck; he was now a man with two lives.
Having witnessed the fantastical scene firsthand, Grandma Sheng finally believed that the chrysanthemums and the vase were evil spirits. "Could that little girl have been lying? She is..."
“The Ju family.” Gu Wanwan explained to Grandma Sheng, word by word, “Grandma Sheng has been bewitched. That bottle will drain your life force. In a few days, you will become terminally ill, your eyes will be sunken, and you will be nothing but skin and bones. It won’t kill you, but it will cause you and your family immense grief.”
"The Chrysanthemum Faction isn't a faction in the Cherry Blossom Country. What do we do now? Can we just throw them out?" Grandma Sheng couldn't believe that she had lived with evil beings for so long. The more she loved them before, the more she loathed them now. She also blamed herself for being careless and bringing trouble upon herself with her kindness. "If I had known, I shouldn't have been so kind. Good deeds don't always bring good results. It gives them an opportunity to take advantage of us. Now the Sheng family is being watched by the Chrysanthemum Faction. They're in the shadows. What if they find out we discovered something unusual about the chrysanthemums? Will they alert them?"
"Besides, your Grandpa Sheng is too stubborn and will never believe that the chrysanthemums are the culprit. But I feel uneasy every day when I see these chrysanthemums. It doesn't matter if something happens to me, but I can't let it affect Old Sheng and his children and grandchildren."
"Although we shouldn't engage in feudal superstition, I still want to say that Wanwan is our guardian angel, so what's there to be afraid of?" Grandma Cheng patted her younger sister's hand, calmly reassuring her, "Our Wanwan is far superior to that of a certain Ju faction."
Seeing Gu Wanwan's composure and calmness, Grandma Sheng placed all her hopes on her, "What about Aunt Feng..."
Gu Wanwan picked up the medicine that was cooling on the table and smelled it briefly. "Grandma Sheng, don't drink the medicine that Aunt Feng gave you. There's something mixed in with it."
Grandma Sheng's pupils widened, filled with shock, anger, and disbelief. She had become quite dependent on Aunt Feng lately, but never imagined that someone close to her would try to harm her. "Is it poisonous?"
Gu Wanwan didn't hide anything from her, "It's not poisonous, but eating too much can damage your nerves, make you senile, and easily controlled. Maybe they don't want you to interfere with Sheng Qing's marriage to Qin Feifei."
