Chapter 816: Each Bearing Ulterior Motives (3)

However, when she saw the gifts the Huo family members had given her and picked up a jade bracelet, Su Xiyin’s expression changed abruptly, and the hand holding the item started trembling uncontrollably.
“Grandma, what’s wrong?” Upon seeing her grandma’s expression change, Ling Sheng also looked at the jade bracelet. The jade had excellent quality and transparency, and it looked like an antique jade. It should be something very valuable.
“It’s all right, I’ll go find your grandpa. Note down the gifts sent by each person. Grandma will be back soon.” Su Xiyin took the bracelet and got ready to go downstairs.
“Grandma.” Ling Sheng stopped her, knowing that the problem lay with the bracelet. Grandma had a good temper, so she would not get angry or make a scene in general. “What happened? What’s wrong with this bracelet?”
The bracelet had been a gift from Fifth Aunt. She remembered the box. It was a simple carved rosewood box. One look and one could tell that it contained a Chinese object.
“Sheng Sheng, we can’t let this go. I’ll go find your grandpa and get to the bottom of this.” Su Xiyin’s face was pale from anger, and her body was trembling.
What did Fifth Son’s family mean? Did they want to curse Sheng Sheng to death by giving her this gift?
Upon hearing her grandma’s words, Ling Sheng realized that this jade bracelet belonged to Fifth Aunt, Cao Yunxian’s sister-in-law. It was also a family heirloom. It was passed down to women but not to men.
However, that sister-in-law had died in a car accident. She had died in a terribly miserable manner. Her head had been cut off, and her arms and legs had even flown out. Strangely, even though she was in such a state, the bracelet on her wrist stayed intact.
It was rumored that this bracelet was evil. Her family had once wanted to sell it. However, this kind of news spread quickly. Observant people had even found out that quite a few of the sister-in-law’s elders who had worn this bracelet before had died an untimely death. The rumors grew even more rampant. They had not been able to sell it even after the bracelet passed through many people’s hands. Everyone said that it was an evil object—an ominous item. No one dared to buy it.
In the end, it was given to Fifth Son’s wife. She had a wide network of connections and they wanted her to see if she could find a way to sell it. If they really could not sell it off in China, she could also deceive the foreigners. As long as it could be sold without losing money, that would be good.
“Grandma, listen to me. You can’t tell Grandpa about this. We know it’s an ominous item, so we just won’t wear it. If Grandpa finds out, things will definitely go crazy during the new year.” Ling Sheng did not believe in such things. “Besides, it’s just a bracelet. If there’s really no other way, I’ll find a master to exorcise it.”
However, that Fifth Aunt had such evil intentions. She was obviously cursing her to die. This could not tolerate this!
“Sheng Sheng, she’s not targeting you alone. She did it for your father and me to see, do you know that?” Su Xiyin was fine with anything herself. She was not someone who liked to fight. Normally, she would tolerate it if possible and neither would she use her status as a mother-in-law to mistreat her daughter-in-law.
However, this incident had already crossed her bottom line. She could not let this go!
Ling Sheng did not intend to shed all pretense of cordiality. Aren’t you secretly cursing me to die? In time, I’ll get back at you secretly and torment you.
However, she had not expected her grandma, who had always been gentle and kind, to be so stubborn because of her. She had directly taken the bracelet and gone to find her. She could not stop her. Upon seeing her grandma leave, she called out to Xiaoqi. “Go and get your grandpa.”
Cao Yunxian had not expected that her mother-in-law, who was always weak, easy to bully and had never spoken harshly to them, would actually come to settle the score immediately.
