Chapter 9 Lucky Charms
Mrs. Wu didn’t react at first, but later she understood what Mrs. Guan and Miss Guan meant. This gave Guan Xuxu a good excuse to slander her.
Sure enough, when she said this, Jiang Su, who was standing by, heard that there was actually a previous incident, and looked at Guan Xuxu with disgust,
“You are too petty, Mrs. Wu didn’t do anything to you, so why is it so? You are making trouble on your first day back, you are simply…” Before he
could say the three words “troublemaker”, he heard a lukewarm voice from the side, which was a bit oppressive, and pressed him lightly,
“Jiang Su.”
With just two words, he successfully shut up. When he looked at his eldest cousin, he found that the smile on his face had cooled down a bit, and he shuddered secretly and didn’t speak again.
But her dissatisfaction with Guan Xuxu was still there.
With Jiang Su standing up for her, Mrs. Wu was full of confidence. She straightened her back and her face was full of indignation of being wronged.
"If the young lady doesn't believe me, you can ask someone to search my room! I am upright and I am not afraid of being searched! Although I am the sister-in-law, I can't let anyone wrongly accuse me like this!"
The commotion here was quite loud, and the servants and housekeepers in the villa naturally gathered over, but they didn't dare to get close.
After listening to the general situation from a distance, she also had some resentment towards the young lady who had just returned.
It was said that the young lady was also raised in a wealthy family, and now she seemed to be high and mighty, looking down on those of them who were nannies and servants.
No one likes someone who looks down on them, so naturally, they don't have a very good impression of this young lady who just returned home.
Jiang Yucheng naturally noticed the way the servants around him looked at Xuxu. At this time, he stared at Guan Xuxu with a frown on his face. He was about to speak up to stop this "farce", but Guan Xuxu finally spoke again, in a steady voice,
"When did I say she stole money?" When
these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
Jiang Su couldn't help but speak first, "You just said that Mrs. Wu stole money, but now you deny it?"
Guan Xuxu glanced at him, "I said she stole the wealth of the Jiang family."
The word about stealing money was said by Lu Xuexi next to him.
I don't know if it was to mislead others or if she didn't mean to conclude, but it was obvious that everyone was misled by her words.
"Stealing wealth and stealing money directly are two different things."
At least, you can't find it by searching directly.
It is also because of this reliance that the other party can be so reckless to ask for a search.
Jiang Su listened to it, but it was foggy and he felt that she was just making excuses, "How can wealth be stolen? Don't do these mysterious things, they sound fake."
Hearing this, Jiang Huai glanced at him lightly, his eyes full of warnings.
Even if Xuxu was bluffing, with her status, what's wrong with bluffing?
And I don't know if Xuxu's attitude is too calm and quiet, Jiang Huai has a vague feeling that what Xuxu said is true.
The wealthy circle more or less respects this kind of metaphysical destiny, and even Jiang Hai Group has a few familiar Feng Shui masters.
But my own sister... She is only eighteen years old, how can she understand these?
Jiang Huai was suspicious in his heart, but he did not think that Guan Xuxu was talking nonsense like others. However,
Guan Xuxu was too lazy to pay attention to the boy next to him who should be his cousin. She turned to look at Mrs. Wu again, and suddenly raised her hand and pointed to a certain place,
"What did you bury there?"
The direction of her finger was exactly a flower bed in the corner of the garden, which was also the place where Mrs. Wu subconsciously glanced when she was working absent-mindedly before.
Mrs. Wu was originally uneasy. When she saw the direction that Guan Xuxu pointed accurately, her heart skipped a beat and cold sweat almost slid down her forehead.
No, no.
She actually knew...
How could this be?
Jiang Yucheng saw Mrs. Wu's reaction, and he was sure of something in his heart. He turned his head and gestured to the housekeeper beside him, "You go."
The housekeeper was curious to begin with, and after receiving the gesture, he immediately walked quickly in the direction of Guan Xuxu's finger.
The few people who were originally watching also followed the housekeeper's movements and came to the edge of the flower bed.
Others were curious, but Jiang Su was completely unconvinced, and followed with an expression of "let's see what you can do."
Guan Xuxu pointed at the flower mud of a certain flower, and the housekeeper squatted down without saying a word, took a small shovel and dug up the flower mud.
As the housekeeper moved, Mrs. Wu's face turned pale and her feet became weak.
But at this moment, everyone's attention was on the housekeeper, and no one noticed her expression.
The flower bed soil is regularly renewed. The housekeeper did not need much effort to dig. After a few efforts, he dug a small pit. Then, the shovel seemed to touch something, and his eyes lit up.
"I found it!"
The housekeeper said, and the small shovel dug out a black plastic bag. The plastic was tightly wrapped. He reached out and untied the outer plastic layer.
At the moment of untying it, the people watching around could only smell a foul odor coming from a paper bag wrapped in the plastic.
The housekeeper could not help but change his face. He resisted the urge to take the paper bag, but was suddenly stopped by Guan Xuxu, who was standing beside him,
"Don't touch it."
The people turned their heads and saw Guan Xuxu stepped forward. He took out a yellow talisman from somewhere in his hand and pasted it on the paper bag.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the moment the talisman was attached to the paper package, the paper on the package quickly became dark and aged.
The housekeeper looked at Guan Xuxu again, and when he saw her nod, he reached out and gently opened the paper package through his gloves.
The paper was red inside, and it seemed to be the red paper used in temples to write birthdays and calculate births. As the red paper unfolded, there were indeed a few birth characters written on it, but the characters seemed to be written in blood, which was now dry and black, and obviously emitted a foul smell.
In addition, there seemed to be a few strands of hair in the paper package, as well as a talisman with strange symbols drawn on it.
Such weird things were obviously buried here deliberately. Combined with what Guan Xuxu said just now, no one could guess what these things were used for.
I just don't believe that such things can really steal wealth?
Jiang Su saw that he had really dug something out, and he was also in disbelief, and turned to look at Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu's lips trembled, and she looked wronged, "No, I didn't bury it, I really haven't seen these things... Young Master, Cousin, you have to believe me..."
Jiang Su opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Guan Xuxu said lightly,
"Whether you buried it or not, you will know it by checking the surveillance outside the villa."
She had just checked that the surveillance outside the Jiang family villa covered almost every corner, so it was not difficult to find out.
"The lucky charm must be written with your blood, and the hair wrapped in it belongs to the Jiang family. You are stealing the Jiang family's wealth through their blood. Am I right?"
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she shuddered and fell to the ground with a pale face.
From her appearance, no one present could tell that she must have buried the paper package.
As for the hair, Mrs. Wu had worked as a maid in the Jiang family for many years, so it was easy for her to take one or two strands of Jiang family hair.
But she didn't know which unlucky person the hair belonged to.
"Even if she buried it, it doesn't mean she stole the fortune. Maybe..." Jiang Su was still stubborn, but Jiang Huai's peach blossom eyes looked at him coldly.
"Shut up, don't make me say it again."
