The ancient war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a wealthy family

Zhan Yu held my hand with enough strength for me to feel his nervousness at the moment.

I forced a smile and told him I was okay, just a little tired.

But my heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and I could hardly breathe.

The content of that letter lingered in my mind like a nightmare, and I couldn't get rid of it.

In the master's study, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.

The elder of the Zhao family sat aside, his face ashen.

There were several documents scattered on the table. I recognized them at a glance as reports of several important family projects. The bright red numbers were as glaring as a bleeding wound.

"What's going on?" Zhan Yu's voice was low, with a hint of suppressed anger.

The elder of the Zhao family sighed and told the whole story.

It turned out that just when we exposed the secrets of the Zhan family and thought that everything was settled, several important family businesses suddenly ran into problems one after another, the capital chain was almost broken, and the losses were heavy.

All signs indicate that this is not an ordinary business competition, but someone is secretly targeting the Zhan family, and this person is most likely a remnant of the mysterious organization.

I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm.

The remnants of the mysterious organization actually dare to come out and stir up trouble!

A rage burned in my chest, and I secretly swore to myself that I must eradicate them completely and prevent them from causing any future trouble!

To make matters worse, just when we were struggling to deal with the business crisis, members of the Qin family jumped out again.

He somehow learned about our current predicament and began to spread rumors within the family, inciting others to be dissatisfied with me and Zhan Yu, trying to seize power again.

I sneered, "Member of the Qin family, do you think I am still the Miss Bai who let you manipulate me?"

This time, I won't give you any chance!

I did not confront him head-on as I did before, but instead went straight to those family members who were bewitched by him, exposed the conspiracy of the Qin family members, and produced solid evidence to prove his bad intentions.

Those people had originally been suspicious of the Qin family members. Now that they saw the evidence, they immediately realized that they had been used and said they would no longer support him.

The Qin family members were once again isolated and helpless, and their faces looked extremely ugly.

Just when I thought things were finally coming to an end, Lin, the archives manager, suddenly appeared at the door of the study. His face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he seemed to have something important to tell us...

"Ma'am..." He stammered, "I...I found..."

Lin, the archives manager, tremblingly took out a USB drive and said, "Madam... I found this when I was sorting through the old files... It seems... It seems to be related to Miss Xiao..."

Miss Xiao is the mysterious woman!

My heart sank suddenly and an ominous premonition came over me.

Taking the USB drive, I plugged it into the computer, and a series of encrypted files appeared on the screen.

Zhan Yu immediately called a technician to decrypt the file, and the file was opened a few minutes later.

The contents inside shocked me so much that I was almost speechless.

It turns out that the mysterious woman Xiao has a lot of hidden forces within the Zhan family. These people are lurking in various departments, like a cancer, ready to give us a fatal blow at any time.

What a mysterious woman Xiao is, she is so calculating!

She wants to completely empty the Zhan family!

Burning with anger, there is also a hint of fear.

If it had not been discovered in time by Lin, the archive manager, the consequences would have been disastrous.

I immediately ordered a thorough investigation within the family and eradicated these hidden forces!

Zhan Yu also quickly mobilized manpower to cooperate with my actions.

In the next few days, a bloody purge was launched within the Zhan family.

We uncovered those hidden forces one by one, and I felt extremely happy watching them being dealt with.

Dare to plot against me, this is what will happen!

After the incident, Zhan Yu specially prepared a warm dinner for me.

The flickering candlelight illuminated his gentle face.

He gently held my hand and said, "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them together." The warmth of his hand filled my heart with strength.

Yes, as long as we are of one mind as husband and wife, what is there to be afraid of?

I snuggled in his arms, enjoying a moment of peace.

But there is always a sense of uneasiness in my heart.

I always feel like there is something we have overlooked...

"Knock knock knock..." A knock on the door broke the warm atmosphere.

I stood up and opened the door, and standing outside was...

Lin Archives Manager.

He was pale, his lips were trembling, and he was holding a letter tightly in his hand.

"Madam..." he said with difficulty, "I... I discovered again..." He handed me the letter, and the familiar handwriting made my heart tighten.

This……

This is the handwriting of the mysterious woman Xiao!

I quickly opened the letter, and the contents inside made me feel like I was falling into an icy cave...

"Madam, be careful..." Lin, the archives manager, suddenly fell at my feet...

Lin, the archivist, collapsed, and the letter slipped from my hands.

Zhan Yu held him and checked his breath, "He is dead..." The content of the letter was like a thunderclap, making me dizzy.

The mysterious woman Xiao actually colluded with forces outside the family and prepared to launch a new round of attacks on the Zhan family!

What a vicious woman!

I clenched my fists, my nails digging deep into my flesh, but I didn't feel any pain.

"Ayu, I want to personally investigate this external force!" I said in a firm tone, leaving no room for doubt.

Zhan Yu looked at me, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, but he finally nodded, "I'll go with you." His support is my greatest motivation.

However, my decision aroused opposition from some family members.

"Mrs. Zhan, you should just focus on your pregnancy and let men handle these things." "Yeah, as a woman, why are you getting involved in these things?" "That's right, meddling in other people's business!"

Their sarcasm and ridicule ignited a raging anger in my heart.

"Nursing the baby? Meddling in other people's business?" I sneered. "Do you think we can rest assured and take care of the baby now? The family crisis hasn't been resolved yet. If we don't deal with this external force, the Zhan family will never have peace! When that happens, will you still be here to make sarcastic remarks?"

My words were so powerful that those people were speechless and left in disgrace.

The investigation process was extremely difficult. The external forces were hiding so deeply that it was almost impossible to find any clues.

Just when I was about to give up, I stumbled upon a clue. This external force seemed to be related to an ancient family legend.

I once heard my grandfather mention this legend. It is said that there is a huge danger hidden behind it...

"Ayu..." My voice trembled a little, "Things... may be more complicated than we thought..." I told Zhan Yu the results of the investigation, and his face became solemn.

"We must find the lair of this external force as soon as possible!" Zhan Yu said decisively, "Get ready immediately, we'll set off tomorrow!"

"Where are you going?" I asked.

Zhan Yu looked at me and said word by word: "Luoxia Mountain."

The housekeeper hurried in, looking panicked. "Young Madam, Young Master! Luoxia Mountain... that place..." He paused, his expression becoming even uglier. "Luoxia Mountain... is filled with miasma year-round. Those who enter... rarely come out alive..."
