Chapter 9: The Fortune-stealing Talisman



Mrs. Wu didn't react at first, but later she understood what Mrs. Guan and Miss Guan meant. Now it was just the right excuse for Guan Xuxu to slander her.

Sure enough, when she said this, Jiang Su, who was standing by, heard that there was actually a previous relationship, and looked at Guan Xuxu with disgust.

"You are so petty. Mrs. Wu didn't do anything to you. Is it that serious? You are causing trouble on your first day back. You are simply..."

Before he could even utter the word "house troublemaker", he heard a lukewarm voice from the side, which was full of pressure and came towards him.

"Jiang Su."

Just two words were enough to make him shut up. He looked at his older cousin again and found that the smile on his face had become a little colder. He shrank back and didn't say anything again.

But the dissatisfaction with Guan Xuxu in his eyes had not diminished in the slightest.

Mrs. Wu had Jiang Su standing up for her, so she was full of confidence and straightened her back, her face full of indignation at being wronged.

"If you don't believe me, you can have my room searched! I'm upright and I'm not afraid of being searched! Even though I'm your sister-in-law, I can't let anyone wrongly accuse me like this!"

The commotion here was quite loud, so the servants and housekeepers in the villa naturally gathered over, but they didn't dare to get close.

After listening to the general idea from afar, I began to feel a little bit resentful towards this young lady who had just returned.

I heard that the eldest daughter was also raised in a wealthy family. Now she seems to be very superior and looks down on people like them who work as nannies and servants.

No one likes someone who looks down on them, so naturally they won’t have a good impression of the young lady who just returned home.

Jiang Yucheng naturally noticed the way the servants around him looked at Xuxu. He stared at Guan Xuxu with a stern face and was about to speak to stop this "farce" when he heard Guan Xuxu finally speak again, his voice neither slow nor fast.

"When did I say she stole money?"

When these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Jiang Su was the first to speak up, "You just said that Mrs. Wu stole the money, but now you deny it?"

Guan Xuxu glanced at him and said, "I mean she stole the Jiang family's wealth."

The words about stealing money were said by Lu Xuexi next to him.

I don't know if she intended to mislead others or just made an unintentional conclusion, 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 was only because of this kind of ceremony that the other party could open his mouth and allow the search so unscrupulously just now.

Jiang Su was confused by what she said, and thought she was just making excuses. "How can you steal wealth? Don't use these mysterious things. They sound fake."

Hearing this, Jiang Huai glanced at him again, his eyes full of warning.

Even if Xuxu was just bluffing, with her status, what's wrong with bluffing?

And maybe it was because Xuxu's attitude was too calm and composed, but Jiang Huai had a vague feeling that what Xuxu said was true.

The wealthy circle has more or less some respect for this kind of metaphysical destiny, and even the Jiang Hai Group has a few familiar Feng Shui masters.

She’s just my own sister…she’s only eighteen years old, how can she understand these things?

Jiang Huai was skeptical, but unlike others, he did not think Guan Xuxu was talking nonsense.

Guan Xuxu was too lazy to pay attention to the boy next to him who should be his cousin. He turned to look at Mrs. Wu again and suddenly raised his hand and pointed at a certain place.

"What did you bury over there?"

The direction of her finger was a flower bed in the corner of the garden, which was also the place where Mrs. Wu had subconsciously glanced when she was working absent-mindedly.

Mrs. Wu was already nervous, and when she saw the precise direction Guan Xuxu was pointing at, her heart skipped a beat and cold sweat almost dripped down her forehead.

No, no.

She actually knew...

how so?

Jiang Yucheng saw Mrs. Wu's reaction and was certain of something. He turned around and gestured to the housekeeper, "You go."

The butler was curious to begin with, and when he received the signal, he immediately walked quickly in the direction Guan Xuxu pointed.

The few people who were originally watching also followed the housekeeper's movements and came to the flower bed.

The others were curious, but Jiang Su was completely unconvinced and followed him with an expression that said, "Let's see what you can do."

Guan Xuxu pointed at the floral mud of a certain flower. Without saying a word, the housekeeper squatted down and started digging up the floral mud with a small shovel.

As the housekeeper took action, Mrs. Wu's face turned pale and her legs became weak.

But at this moment, everyone's attention was on the housekeeper, and no one noticed her expression.

The floral mud in the flower beds is renewed regularly, and it was not difficult for the housekeeper to dig. After a few tries, he dug a small hole. Then, he seemed to touch something under the shovel, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

“Found it!”

As the housekeeper spoke, he used a small shovel to dig out a black plastic bag. The plastic was wrapped tightly, and he reached out to untie the outer plastic layer.

At the moment it was untied, the people watching around only smelled a foul odor coming from a paper package wrapped in plastic.

The housekeeper couldn't help but change his expression. He resisted the urge to feel sick and raised his hand to take the paper bag, but was suddenly stopped by Guan Xuxu.

"Don't touch it."

When they turned around, they saw Guan Xuxu step forward and pull out a yellow talisman from somewhere in his hand, and he stuck the talisman on the paper bag.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I felt that the moment the talisman was pasted on 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 bag through his gloves.
