Yang Suxian cried uncontrollably, slapping the ground with both hands, wailing with snot and tears streaming down her face, "I'm so sorry to my son, I'm so sorry to our ancestors of the Xiao family. We only had one child in our family, and you, you heartless woman, lost him. You deserve to be struck by lightning, and you should be fried in oil in hell."
Lu Jie experienced a ringing in her ears and looked at everyone's faces, feeling somewhat unsteady.
She took two steps back, her expression extremely unnatural, and murmured softly in protest, "No, I didn't do it, it has nothing to do with me, I didn't kill him..."
She was completely absorbed in it. Shu Ying's expression changed. She felt that Lü Jie's mental state seemed abnormal. Her emotions were clearly not right. However, everyone was angry and it was hard to notice these things.
"Everyone, please calm down first. Once the responsibility for the child is determined, the relevant authorities will make the final decision."
If Lü Jie were to feign madness at this point, the chances of finding the stone would be extremely slim.
The others stopped, but Yang Suxian continued her incessant accusations.
“Everyone in the village says you’re a jinx. If you hadn’t killed off your last husband, you wouldn’t have come to my house. Now that you’ve killed off my grandson, you have to give me an explanation.”
Lu Jie's eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Yang Suxian, who was spitting everywhere. Her blood seemed to freeze, and she screamed in despair, her face pale.
"Shut up!"
As she spoke, she roared like a wild beast, throwing the broom and everything else within reach onto the ground, desperately venting her emotions.
"It's all your fault, you old bastard! You're the one who instigated me to do this!"
Her expression was clearly not normal; even her pupils were dilated. Lü Jie's eyes were unfocused, and her sudden outburst terrified everyone.
Sister-in-law Wang pulled Shu Ying back a little with one hand. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. With so many of them here, it was unlikely that Lü Jie would resort to desperate measures. They had no way to reason with anyone.
Xie Zhiyan and Shu Ying exchanged a glance. Lü Jie was on the verge of a breakdown; she was clearly no longer rational.
Xie Zhiyan took Shu Ying's hand and whispered in her ear, "She seems to have suffered some kind of shock, so don't be too hasty."
If Lü Jiejie's attention is diverted, no one knows what a madman might do.
Shu Ying stared intently at her. Lü Jie's hands trembled, her speech was not very fluent, and her stiff body was different from that of ordinary people. Shu Ying immediately judged the basic situation.
"Lü Jie may have some mental problems; she is not thinking clearly now."
Xie Zhiyan didn't speak. They would occasionally cross paths on the way, but most of the time they were just nodding acquaintances. They didn't talk much and didn't interact frequently, but Lu Jie usually seemed like a normal person.
Seemingly noticing his confusion, Shu Ying pulled the two children behind her. "She must have been forced into this by her surroundings. Normally, she wouldn't show it unless she was under some kind of shock. Today, it's clear that everyone put too much pressure on her."
Xie Zhiyan nodded, but before he could speak, Yang Suxian had already stood up from the ground and made a move to pull Lü Jie's hair.
"You little whore, you think you can defy the heavens after marrying into my family? There's no such thing as an unreasonable mother-in-law in this world, yet you dare to yell at me. Didn't your parents teach you proper manners when they gave birth to you? You've disgraced my family, and you still want to act arrogantly in my home? Bah! Do you really think I, Yang Suxian, am so easy to bully?"
