Chapter 26: I think the egg I laid is the best golden egg in the world

But as time went by, I can’t remember how many days it was.

Her mother-in-law said that she was too fierce and would bring bad luck to her husband and children, so she should be locked up in the house to get rid of the bad energy.

Xu Xinshu was going crazy. She couldn't see the light and couldn't talk to anyone.

She could only talk to herself in the room.

The servants heard her talking to herself and spread the news among themselves.

The madam was indeed wise. The eldest young master's wife had really been possessed by a demon. She was alone in the room and no one knew who she was talking to.

Xu Xinshu had no place to defend herself or to seek redress.

She wanted to say that was not the case, she was talking to herself because she was locked up, not because she was possessed by evil spirits.

But no one believed her.

There is no point in making excuses; if you want to accuse someone, you will always find a pretext.

She missed home and her brother so much.

If she were given another chance, she would never believe the lies that a man would love her forever.

I no longer ignored my sister-in-law's advice and foolishly believed that marrying down would lead to a happy life.

Is there anyone who can rescue her?

Suddenly the door opened and the dazzling light came in again. It might be the maid delivering food again.

Xu Xinshu closed her eyes tightly to relieve the sore feeling brought by the sudden sunlight stimulation to her eyes.

But she still tried to open her eyes and catch the hard-earned light.

"Shu'er." Seeing the blurry figure coming against the light, Xu Xinshu thought she was hallucinating.

How could it be her brother's voice? Has she gone crazy and is she hallucinating?

Xu Xinshu thought numbly.

It was not until a familiar big hand fell on her messy hair that she woke up from her dream.

He spoke with a hoarse voice: "Brother?"

"It's me." Xu Lanqi's voice choked with sobs.

My sister's voice used to be as clear and tender as an oriole chirping out of a valley. You could tell at once that she was a well-protected and loved girl by her family.

But now he is as hoarse as a man in his sixties or seventies.

He wished he could kill those people from the Kong family alive!

"Brother, they bullied me!"

Xu Xinshu cried with a hoarse voice, her tears were heart-wrenching, as if she was the child who had finally found her mother.

Mrs. Xu was watching from the door and thought it was ridiculous.

This small Kong family actually dared to bully the girl from their Xu family.

Do you feel that you have lived a life of luxury for too long and want to add some excitement to your life?

Xu Lanqi asked someone to find something and wanted to carry his sister out, but was stopped by Mrs. Xu.

"My little sister has been trapped in the house without seeing the light, and you just carried her away. Are you asking her to give up her eyes?"

Mrs. Xu took off her headband, covered Xu Xinshu's eyes with it and tied a knot before leaving.

As a result of this delay, the Kong family caught up.

"Master Xu, Xinshu is our daughter-in-law. Isn't it unreasonable for you to take her away without saying hello?"

Mrs. Xu was so angry that she laughed. She responded before her husband could say anything: "We raised her for more than ten years and brought her a beautiful girl to marry into your family."

"It's been less than two years since you were tortured to the point where you're no longer human, and you still have the nerve to call yourself your daughter-in-law?"

"What? Do you think our Xu family is a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone?"

When the truth was revealed, Mrs. Kong knew that the Xu family had been offended by them.

But as long as they stay, they will always be in-laws. The more they pamper their daughters, the more they will bow down to them in the end.

Xu Xinshu grabbed Mrs. Xu's sleeve and begged, "Sister-in-law, I want to go home, I want to die at home."

Mrs. Kong put on a fake smile and whispered, "Old man, look at what you said, isn't this your home? Where else do you want to go?"

To Xu Xinshu, it was like the whisper of a devil.

She screamed, and shrank back, falling into Mrs. Xu's arms.

Madam Xu held her in her arms and said, "Don't be afraid, Shu'er, don't be afraid. My brother and sister-in-law will definitely take you home."

Then she looked up and said, "Mrs. Kong, may I ask what my little sister has done wrong to deserve such abuse by you?"

Mrs. Kong seemed to be confident now. She immediately straightened her chest and raised her head, and said proudly: "You two, it is because our Kong family is generous that we are willing to accept such a daughter-in-law."

"I consulted a senior monk and found out that my eldest son has encountered obstacles in everything he does since he got married."

"We've been married for two years, but Xu Xinshu's belly hasn't moved at all."

"We promised the Xu family not to take concubines. I will go find a senior monk to calculate for them."

"What did you guess? This Xu Xinshu is destined to bring bad luck to her husband and children!"

"I am changing her fate now. I am saving her!"

"You two still don't know how to be kind. Who would want to marry such a calamity-star daughter-in-law?"

As Mrs. Kong spoke, she felt more and more that she was the one who was right.

After hearing this, Xu Lanqi was almost angry to death.

"Your son's career is not going well because he is incompetent."

"His current position is the highest position he can achieve."

"If he goes any higher, he will lose control and things will go wrong."

"If my brother-in-law was really capable, he would have risen to prominence long ago!"

"Your son is a jerk himself, but he blames this on my sister."

"Do you know that if you lock people up every day, people will die?"

"Even if I want a divorce and not to marry, my sister doesn't need you to change her fate!"

Mrs. Kong's eyes widened suddenly, and she pointed the feather fan in her hand at Xu Lanqi, shaking:

"Oh wow, it's you!"

"My eldest brother is extremely talented, a prime minister! How could he be incapable?"

"I thought you, the in-laws, could help, but I didn't expect you to be a hindrance!"

Xu Lanqi was too lazy to argue any further. If it weren't for him, that idiot wouldn't even have his current position.

However, it does not make sense for fools who only live in their own world and think that the egg they lay is the most golden egg in the world.

Mrs. Kong wanted to scold again, but then the old man of the Kong family came back.

"Master Xu, Master Xu, what's going on?"

"Doctor Kong." Xu Lanqi's face looked very unhappy.

"Why are you asking me about your own affairs?"

"This..." When he saw Xu Xinshu's ferocious look, he knew that this time the matter was serious.

But he really didn't know what happened.

However, while he was still on duty, his own servant came to tell him that the Minister of the Central Secretariat had forced his way into their house.

So he turned and asked his wife.

Xu Xinshu's husband slowly moved over from behind.

Seeing this situation, he wanted to escape, but was grabbed by Doctor Kong by the collar.

"You want to run away, you little brat? What did you do? How did your wife become like this?"

When Mrs. Kong saw her son being scolded, she hurriedly explained the whole story. Doctor Kong's forehead twitched when he heard it.

But the most urgent task is to comfort Xu Lanqi and others.

"Master Xu, I was busy with government affairs and rarely managed my family, which allowed them to do such a thing."

"But don't worry, I will personally watch over you from now on and will never let these two idiots touch your sister again."

"Look, you'd better not take the eldest brother's wife with you today, so as not to make other families laugh at her."
