A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!

Chapter 68 Knowing the Function of the Jade Pendant

Her few words immediately put everyone in the ward on high alert.

Although he was talking nonsense, they took it to heart.

The recent events have been so bizarre that they have to be on high alert. Could it really be a ghost encounter?

"What nonsense are you spouting? Shi Yanxia, ​​you dare to come back? Look what you've done to us! If it weren't for you, would our Shen family have fallen to this state?" Shen's mother was so frightened by her words that her body trembled and she roared at Shi Yanxia.

Shi Yanxia's words made her tremble and panic.

"Huh? I caused it? If you say so, then so be it. Look at me, I'm fine, aren't I? It was you who got into trouble. Sigh, I guess I'm luckier than you." Shi Yanxia murmured softly.

Her words were sarcastic, like sharp knives stabbing into every member of the Shen family.

Shi Yanxia seemed to be muttering, but every word she said was full of schadenfreude, making them so angry that they gritted their teeth, but they didn't dare to lay a hand on her, after all, she was now married into the Zhan family.

"Mrs. Shen, what's behind you?" Shi Yanxia suddenly screamed.

She instinctively took a few steps back, and Shen's mother was so frightened that she rolled off the hospital bed, saying in terror, "Where? Where? Don't come any closer."

She kept shifting her body in fear, but with her broken leg, she could only cower in fear by the bedside.

"I think I saw it wrong," Shi Yanxia said softly.

"Boom!" Everyone's mind went blank, and even the most foolish person realized that Shi Yanxia was playing them.

Shen Zhinan strode towards her, her anger pent up all day, and said to her, "Shi Yanxia, ​​what exactly do you want?"

He had barely finished speaking when there was a knock on the door.

A middle-aged man in a Taoist robe walked in. His eyes were bright and piercing. He glanced around the ward and asked, "Are you the Shen family?"

"Are you Master Huo?" Shen Zhinan greeted him immediately upon seeing him.

Master Huo held the whisk tip, flicked it in mid-air, then pointed to the center and said, "All demons and monsters, get out of my way."

After he finished doing everything, he nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, I am Master Huo."

“You’re all tainted with bad luck! Just now downstairs at the hospital, I could see all the bad luck was coming from your room.”

As Master Huo spoke, he looked at Shen's mother with a puzzled expression.

"Mrs. Shen, have you recently worn anything that has been blessed at a Taoist temple or Buddhist temple?" Master Huo asked in a low voice.

As Shen's mother listened, the image of the jade pendant that Shi Yanxia had given her flashed through her mind, which she had also snatched away on the day Shi Yanxia was forced to marry in place of her.

"Yes! It was her. She gave me a jade pendant that she said had been blessed at a Taoist temple. I wore it for more than six months, but she took it back a few days ago."

As Shen's mother spoke, she seemed to have found her pillar of support.

"Is there something wrong with the jade pendant? Did she tamper with it? Is wearing that jade pendant bringing me bad luck?" Mother Shen kept asking.

Her eyes were filled with longing, hoping that Master Huo would agree with her and that he could blame all his recent misfortunes on Shi Yanxia.

It's like she's looking for an excuse to make Shi Yanxia bear all the blame so she can feel at ease shirking responsibility.

“No! Looking at the bad luck on you, it’s obvious that it’s been accumulating for a long time.” Master Huo said, turning to look at Shi Yanxia with a complicated expression.

Seeing her pure and ethereal face, her delicate features were flawlessly beautiful, and her aura seemed innate, cool and noble.

Master Huo gave her a deep look, then asked, "Young friend, could you please take out the jade pendant so I can have a look?"

“Okay.” Shi Yanxia smiled, looking at Master Huo with a hint of mockery.

She took out the jade pendant, which appeared in mid-air! The hanging rope was wrapped around her fingertips, and the jade pendant shone with the light of jade in mid-air.

Master Huo glanced at it and said in disbelief, "This jade pendant is yours."

Shi Yanxia put the jade pendant away, put her hands behind her back, and said softly, "Of course."

"Could you sell me the jade pendant? This jade looks quite nice." Master Huo looked at her with some delight, even a hint of greed.

He could tell at a glance that the light emanating from the jade pendant had been accumulated over many years and consecrated by a master with profound Taoist skills.

This jade pendant is worth over 100 million yuan on the market! It's extremely rare and is considered the finest among consecrated jewelry.

"Master, is there something wrong with the jade pendant?" Upon seeing this, Madam Shen quickly asked.

Master Huo was interrupted by her words and turned around with some displeasure, looking at her as if she were an idiot, and said, "Mrs. Shen, do I know the origin of this jade pendant?"

"What?" Shen's mother was somewhat taken aback.

Seeing the disdain in Master Huo's eyes, she had a bad feeling.

“This jade pendant is a top-grade consecrated item. It can ward off all kinds of evil spirits and also protect people from bad luck. As you just said, you have been wearing it for about 7 months.”

"From what I see, you're plagued by bad luck. If it weren't for this jade pendant, you'd probably be dead by now," Master Huo said in a low, angry voice.

One sentence left Shen's mother somewhat taken aback.

She collapsed to the ground, saying in disbelief, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could this be? It's just an ordinary jade pendant."

As she spoke, she suddenly yelled at Master Huo, "Did you conspire with her? Trying to trick me into wearing that thing again? You want me dead, don't you?"

Master Huo stared at her in disbelief, then snorted coldly.

"Believe it or not, if you don't believe me, why bother sending someone to tell me to come here? I'm out of luck today, I've made a wasted trip. I'm leaving now."

"Don't blame me for not warning you. If it weren't for the blessing of this jade pendant, your Shen family would have been ruined long ago. You're a bunch of blind fools, mistaking a fish eye for a pearl! You deserve this trouble." Master Huo said, flicking his whisk and walking away.

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Before Shen's mother could speak, Master Huo's figure had already disappeared outside the door.

"Master Huo!" Shen's mother was quite frightened.

She had heard of Master Huo's reputation before, even though she was in the industry! Many wealthy families would ask him to look at their feng shui, and after he performed rituals, their businesses would all prosper.

Mrs. Shen regretted her quick tongue earlier, which had offended someone.

Remembering Master Huo's words, she looked at Shi Yanxia and said coldly, "Since Master Huo said your jade pendant is useful, why don't you hurry up and give it to me so I can wear it? Do you want me to die?"

Madam Shen, with an air of authority, commanded Shi Yanxia in a very authoritative manner.

The smile in Shi Yanxia's eyes was almost impossible to hide.

She came here today because she knew Master Huo would come. She deliberately came to watch the show and to annoy them, to let them know how powerful this jade pendant is, but unfortunately, they can't get it.
