next day

"Ms. Hu, I heard that you took your unfortunate girl to the Rose Pavilion and the Jewelry Pavilion yesterday? And you bought a lot of clothes and jewelry?"

An old woman named Jia sat in the front hall, fingering her Buddhist beads in her right hand and leaning on her cane in her left. She questioned, "Having been half-dead for so many years, it's unlucky to look at him."

Hu stood before the old lady with her head lowered, her teeth itching with hatred in her heart. "Mother! My daughter Yu'er has truly recovered from her illness and will no longer suffer misfortune. Please be careful with your words."

"Hu! How dare you talk back to me? Have all your filial piety been eaten by dogs?

Back then, if Su Ninghao hadn't threatened to die and insisted on marrying you, how could I have agreed to let you marry into the Anguo Mansion, just because you were a merchant's daughter?

Humph, after all, a woman like you who comes from a merchant family can hardly be accepted into a refined household!"

Jia glanced at Hu with contempt, her eyes full of disdain, contempt, and disgust towards Hu.

At this moment, Hu lowered her head, bit her lips tightly, and tried hard to suppress the anger and grievance in her heart. Although tears were swirling in her eyes, she forced herself not to let them fall.

Mrs. Hu tightly grasped the cuff of her left hand, as if she wanted to crush it, and said with a slightly trembling voice, "Mother! Yes, I do come from a merchant family, but you have no reason to look down on me.

"Back then, I married into the Anguo Mansion with an incredibly generous dowry. If it weren't for Su Ninghao, would I have married so far away? If it weren't for me, the so-called unremarkable daughter of a merchant, how could you enjoy your wealth and splendor now?"

"You..." Jia was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her fingers were trembling. She stared at Hu with wide eyes, but she was speechless.

After calming down a bit, Jia suddenly turned around and said to Madam Li beside her in a stern voice: "Madam Li, what are you still standing there for?

Hurry up and bring that bitch, oh no, that unlucky jinx to me!"

Nanny Li quickly bowed and replied, "Yes."

Then he left quickly and went straight to Hongxiu Pavilion where Su Yuer was.

At the same time, Cuihong came running in panic, panting and shouting anxiously, "Miss, something terrible has happened! It's terrible! The old lady came here in a rage early this morning.

You're clearly here to cause trouble, and you've even made Madam cry! She's already ordered Madam Li to take you to the front hall."

Su Yuer murmured, "Grandma?"

Su Yu'er tried hard to sort out the original owner's memories.

The original owner's grandfather was the Duke of Ningguo of the Jinsheng Dynasty. Born a peasant, he had fought alongside the late emperor on the battlefield and, after saving his life, was granted the title of Duke of Anguo by the late emperor and a palace.

The old Duke of Anguo, Su Yuanshang (deceased), married a woman named Jia (from the Jinsheng Dynasty, Dawu County) and had three sons.

The eldest son, Su Ninghan, was an official appointed by the imperial court and held the position of Dali Temple Minister, a third-rank official. He married Jiang (the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Justice) and had two sons and a daughter.

The eldest son is nineteen years old, named Su Mingzhe, and serves as the captain of the palace guards.

Married Liu (daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat)

The youngest son and daughter are twins, a boy and a girl.

The sixteen-year-old son, named Su Mingli,

The sixteen-year-old daughter is named Su Yunxin.

The second son, Su Ningze, was an official appointed by the imperial court to the position of editor in the Hanlin Academy, a rank of seventh grade. He married Wei (the legitimate daughter of General Dingyuan) and had two daughters.

The eldest daughter is sixteen years old and her name is Su Yuting.

The second daughter is fifteen years old and her name is Su Yuxing.

The third son was the original owner's father, Su Ninghao, an imperial official, holding the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a rank of Fourth Rank. He married Hu, a daughter of a wealthy southern family. He had only one daughter, fifteen years old, named Su Yu'er.

Su Ninghao was an upright and talented person, and was highly regarded by the late emperor.

One year, he was ordered to travel to the south to investigate the people's conditions. While strolling by a clear stream, he happened to meet a woman with a graceful figure and beautiful appearance. This woman was none other than Hu Ji, whose beauty was as charming as the peach blossoms in full bloom in spring, and Su Ninghao fell in love with her.

With his sincerity and talent, he finally moved Hu Ji's heart. Hu Ji was also moved by Su Ninghao's persistence and decided to put aside worldly prejudices and follow him back to the capital with a generous dowry.

"Foolish plots can be found everywhere." Su Yuer curled her lips and said to herself.

From the original owner's memory, this grandmother was extremely biased.

Su Ninghan was originally the Minister of the Dali Temple, a distinguished person. He was also the eldest son of the Duke of Anguo, and should have naturally inherited the title of Heir of the Duke of Anguo.

But the old lady is partial! She wants to leave the throne to Su Ningze.

There was a convention in the Jinsheng Dynasty that only the eldest son could take the position of crown prince.

Su Ningze was a man of many talents and had a sweet tongue, which made the old lady very happy. She always thought of Su Ningze in everything, so naturally, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion must belong to Su Ningze.

The eldest son, Su Ninghan, was completely heartbroken by the old lady's unreasonable behavior. In the end, he asked the late emperor for permission to give up the throne and resolutely left the Anguo Mansion with his family to live a new life.

It must be said that this Su Ninghan is truly a ruthless character! To be able to decisively give up the position of Crown Prince, this kind of courage and determination is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

In the end, the position of crown prince did not fall to Su Ningze, and he only retained the title of Duke of Anguo.

The Anguo Mansion had long lost its former glory, with only the gate remaining to support it. If it weren't for Su Ninghan and Su Ninghao's support, Su Ningze probably wouldn't even be able to enter the Hanlin Academy.

The third wife was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and she was rich enough to marry him, so she bought her own property and started a new life.

The old lady lived with the second wife, and Su Ningze was the kind of person who was useless, but the old lady doted on him. She exploited the money of the first and third wives and gave it to Su Ningze.

What’s even more hateful is that the old lady used filial piety to suppress the first and third wives, and fleeced them every other day.

The old lady was afraid of the eldest son and didn't dare to do anything too extreme. But it was different with the third son. Not only did she try to fleece him, she also tortured him to death.

"MMP! Daddy is just a foolish filial son.

Now that my aunt is here, let's see how you, an old witch, can still show off. If you do, I'll kill you." Su Yu'er pinched her waist with her left hand and scratched her nose with her right thumb, revealing her rogue temper.

"How dare she come to my house today and bully my beautiful mother. I have such a bad temper... No, no, I can't stand it anymore. I'm going over now and see how I deal with this old witch." Su Yu'er rolled up her sleeves and was about to go to the front hall in a rage.

Nanny Li walked quickly into Hongxiu Pavilion and came in front of Su Yuer.

"Fourth Miss, the old lady asks you to go to the front hall quickly and don't waste time." There was disdain in Li Ma's eyes, as if she was laughing at Su Yu'er.

“You old woman, who gives you the courage to speak to me like that?” As Su Yu’er finished her words, she swung her right hand and a stream of spiritual energy hit Li Ma’s body.

"Ah..." Nanny Li was knocked directly onto the gate of Hongxiu Pavilion. Her body slowly slid down and lay motionless on the ground.

"No way, it's so powerful? I didn't use any strength and the person died?" Su Yu'er muttered and walked quickly to Nanny Li.

"Oh! He's not dead. I was wondering how a bad guy could die so easily." Su Yu'er said, looking down at the unconscious Nanny Li.

"Tsk! Don't show up in front of me next time. I'm someone you can't afford to offend." Su Yu'er turned and left.

"Miss, you are so awesome." Cuihong said admiringly, with tiny bubbles in her big eyes.

"Miss, wait for me."

Cuihong shouted excitedly and quickly caught up with Su Yuer.

Before I even stepped over the threshold, a sharp voice came from behind.

"Bitch, you know grandma is coming, why don't you come over and pay your respects to her?"

Jia turned around and glared at Hu and said, "Hu, this is how you educate your child. You have no manners at all." Jia said viciously while leaning on her crutch.

"Grandma, Yu'er greets you." Su Yu'er bowed and said, but she rolled her eyes in her heart.

She stood up and walked to Mrs. Hu, helping her sit down.

"Grandma, I'm such a jinx. I've had a lot of bad luck lately. I don't want to bring bad luck to you. I just hope you can live a long life."

Su Yu'er pinched her thigh, held back her tears, and choked with silence.

But in my heart I was complaining madly, "Shh! It hurts so much, I pinched it a little too hard."

"Grandmother, you don't know. When Nanny Li came to call me just now, she might have been too close to me, and the bad luck ran to her. Right now, Nanny Li is still lying on the floor of my Hongxiu Pavilion. Sigh! I don't know if Nanny Li has woken up yet."

Jia was stunned for a moment. "What do you mean too close to you? Why are you lying down?"

Hu was surprised, but she was muttering in her heart, "What is Yu'er trying to do? Is she going to sing that play?"

"You jinx, what...what did you do to Nanny Li?" Jia stared at Su Yu'er fiercely and questioned.

Su Yu'er sat across from the old lady with confidence. She said to Cuihong, "Cuihong! Pour me a cup of tea. I've talked too much today, and this bad luck is coming again."

Cuihong cooperated, "Yes, Miss."

Jia leaned back involuntarily.

Su Yuer: “…” Still feeling guilty.

Hu: "..." Awesome! My Yu'er.

Cuihong happily brought the tea and said, "Miss, please have some tea."

Su Yuer picked up the teacup with her left hand, picked up the lid with her right hand, and gently scraped the rim of the cup a few times.

She looked at Jia with cold eyes and said in a cold voice, "Grandma, don't you know what's going on with my body?"

There was a flash of panic in Jia's eyes, but then it returned to normal in an instant.

It was this moment of panic that was easily captured by Su Yuer.

"Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs. This old witch is so evil." Su Yu'er was so angry.

Jia Shi looked at Su Yu'er's cold eyes and trembled in her heart, "Could it be that this unlucky star knows? Knowing that I changed her fate?"

Jia muttered to herself, "Impossible, I did this so secretly, no one could see it. Could she, a fifteen-year-old girl, really see it?

Besides, even if she knew, what would it matter? She couldn't find the talisman buried there, so what? Forget it in this life.

Besides, Su Yuxing will soon enter the palace to select concubines, so what kind of waves can she stir up? She is just a jinx."

After thinking for a moment, Jia stood up with her cane and said with a fake smile, "Now that you're healed, grandma is relieved."

Jia stared at Hu with disgust and said slowly, "Now that the child has recovered, as a mother, you should give him more guidance.

Let her know what it means to respect the elderly and love the young, and don't spoil her like you did before, otherwise she will get into big trouble in the future! " After saying this, Jia turned around and left in a hurry.

At this time, Nanny Li was still unconscious on the ground in Hongxiu Pavilion, not knowing what year it was.

Su Yu'er stared at the old witch's departing back with indifference. "Tsk!" she snorted, thinking to herself, "It seems the original owner's bad luck is inseparable from this old witch. You little brat, if you make life difficult for me, I'll make it difficult for you."
