A master of metaphysics is farming.

"The art of cursing?!"

This caused quite a stir, with everyone's eyes filled with astonishment and disgust.

"My God! What kind of people are these!"

"They've resorted to such vicious tricks!"

"If I lived with this family, I'd die seven or eight times a day..."

"You know what, I get scared just looking at their faces now!"

Everyone chimed in, saying how disgusting the Xiang family was, and that they had ultimately disgraced the family.

Li was so angry that her face turned red. Xiang Lianhua shrank back and hid behind the door, while Xiang He still held onto Yu's hand and her gaze wandered to the smelly Taoist priest.

"Tell me, what are the uses of this thing?"

Knowing what she wanted to say, the stinky Taoist priest quickly cleared his throat and gestured with his chin toward the eight characters on the little wooden figure. "These are this young lady's eight characters. I remember them clearly."

He squatted down and pointed to the three thin needles on the needles. "If used properly, witchcraft can bring wealth and longevity; but if used for evil purposes, it can suppress the fate of a person's birth chart. Look at these needles stuck in the year of the birth chart, it means this is an act of destroying the spirit, killing and taking a life!"

Everyone's hearts tightened upon hearing this, and Madam Yu even glanced inside in a panic before finally looking away, gritting her teeth and deep in thought.

Xiang He noticed her little action and swept her cold gaze over them, "Did everyone hear that? This family wants to kill us all!"

"It's heartbreaking to hear! What if this causes serious harm..."

"I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it..."

With all the harmful things exposed, how could Li Shi save face? If she continued to talk about it, how could she ever face anyone again?

Li angrily berated Xiang He, accusing her of framing him and betraying her own family. In short, she brought up all the past events, hoping to quickly put the matter behind her.

Xiang He would never do as she wished. Her gaze swept around again, and she spotted her family in the crowd. She gave them a gentle smile and dusted off her clothes.

"Grandma, please stop talking. My brother's face has turned green. How is he supposed to maintain his reputation in the study now?"

Li was stunned and paused, realizing she had been so concerned with saving face that she had forgotten her beloved grandson was still there. Her face darkened, "Fu... Fusheng..."

Xiang Fusheng remained silent. Xiang He grabbed Yu's arm and pulled her hard, causing her to fall to the ground with one arm pinned against the threshold.

This posture...

Yu's heart pounded, and she stared at Xiang He in astonishment, "What...what do you want to do..."

Xiang He revealed a sinister smile, her eyes crinkling like sharp blades. "Aunt, who cast this curse?"

Startled by her appearance, Madam Yu stammered, "I...I don't know..."

"You really don't know? I found her in the lotus room, could it be her?"

Hiding behind the door, Xiang Lianhua trembled, biting her lower lip, afraid to speak. Madam Yu loudly denied, "It's not Lianhua! It's not!"

"So that's you?"

"It wasn't me! Who knows who put it there!"

"Really?"

"I really don't know..."

Xiang He's smile gradually twisted. "Since it wasn't Xiang Lianhua who did it, then it could only be you. You have to give me an explanation today."

Looking at her demon-like face, Madam Yu stiffened her neck and shook her head, "I...I don't know...it's not Lotus..."

"That's just my luck; I'd love to try making an example of someone to warn others."

"What did you say……?"

In her astonished eyes, Xiang He's face was reflected, his black pupils suddenly contracting like a hungry wolf hunting a beast, the smile not reaching his eyes.

She raised her right hand and clenched it little by little, making a cracking sound as she did so.

"He girl...?"

"What...what are you going to do...let me go..."

Her prayers were like the whispers of ants in Xiang He's ears. Suddenly, a light laugh escaped her lips, and her right hand slammed down on Xiang He's arm—

"ah!!!--"

Screams echoed through the sky, and everyone covered their eyes, unable to watch.

He Sui'an's pupils were startled; she hadn't expected that she would actually do it. But she quickly understood; indeed, only evil people can be tormented by evil people.

She is protective of her family but also ruthless; such a woman should not be confined to the countryside.

Xing Ji lowered his eyes slightly as he looked at his young master.

As Yu continued to cry out in pain, Xiang He clapped his hands and stood up, looking relaxed, saying, "Don't worry, I didn't use much force. It's just a bone fracture. It can be cured for a few dozen taels of silver."

The stinky Taoist priest grinned, clutching his arm as if he had been punched as well.

Fortunately, he was a wise man who knew when to yield, and without much hesitation, he followed along...

Xiang He looked at Xiang Fusheng, "Big brother, are you going to settle accounts with me?"

Xiang Fusheng remained silent, simply moving over to squat down and support Yu Shi. On the contrary, Xiang Daqiang's eyes turned red, and he snatched the shovel from Li Shi's hand, smashing it against Xiang He's head.

Everyone gasped in shock. Xiang He nimbly dodged, grabbed the handle of the shovel, and kicked Da Qiang in the stomach with all her might. Da Qiang fell backward, and the shovel slipped from her grasp.

He fell to the ground, his eyes red with anger, and accused, "You unfilial daughter!"

"Heh," Xiang He chuckled dismissively, "I only honor my family, and you are not my family."

This remark enraged Li. How could she swallow her anger when her eldest daughter-in-law was injured and her eldest son was beaten?!

"You wretched girl! Even if I kill you today, I won't let you get away with this!"

She charged forward with all her might, spun the shovel in He's hand, bent slightly, and squatted down, then forcefully smashed it down on He's left leg—

"Ah!!!—Murder!!!"

The village of Xiangjia was rocked by another explosion, and everyone felt a sense of relief, though they couldn't bear to watch.

It was as if the anger Xiang He suffered was their own, and after all this commotion, they felt relieved.

Xiang Daqiang rushed over to check on Li's injuries. Xiang He slammed the shovel on the ground, propped his elbow on the handle, and said, "Grandpa, have you seen enough of the show? Now that things have turned out like this, come out and let's have a standoff between our two families."

Everyone was a little confused, but then three elderly people walked out from the crowd, and they realized what was going on.

It turns out that Xiang Lao Si had been watching all along!

Xiang He waved to the person not far away, and the Su family members walked out, supporting each other, their faces deathly pale.

Xiang Dayong was still carrying Xiang Yun on his back. The little girl was fast asleep, as if she were dead.

Xiang He stood in the center of the group, his expression completely changed from that of a demon, now calm and composed. "The fourth son of the Xiang family, Lao Kang, used a technique to exterminate his third son's family. His eldest daughter-in-law killed him and then destroyed his spirit. What does Grandfather think?"

Her gaze immediately shifted to Xiang Lao Si, "Fourth Grandfather, what do you think?"

Xiang Lao Si's face darkened even more. "Then what do you want?"

Before Xiang He could speak, Xiang Dayong carried Xiang Yun and knelt down, while Su Shi also led Xiang Yang to kneel on the ground. Xiang He stood straight and refused to bend her knees.

“Father… I know that my grandmother died when I was born… You are still angry, and you always felt that I had cursed my grandmother to death… Even the people in the village think so…”
