Chapter 203: Chapter 202: Destroying Feng Shui Objects
Because he had decided to conduct a paternity test, Su Chenyi took a resealable bag and packed up the cup the elderly Mr. Lu had drunk from when the Lu Family was saying goodbye and leaving.
"What are you taking the cup for?" Elder Su found it strange. "You wouldn’t suddenly become diligent and want to do some chores, would you?"
Su Chenyi said bluntly, "Little Auntie said that Lu Xuan and the Lu Family have no blood relation, only a familial curse. I plan to go and do a paternity test to see, and also check Lu Xuan’s health while I’m at it."
Upon hearing Su Chenyi’s tone as if deeply concerned for Lu Xuan, Elder Su chuckled. "You weren’t this attentive to your wife, yet now that she’s your ex-wife, you’ve become passionate."
Su Chenyi fell silent.
Right after the divorce, Elder Su even called him over to be lectured on proper male virtues.
Elder Su had told him that Lu Xuan was originally gentle and generous, a fine shoot out of the Lu Family’s bad bamboo. Over three years, no matter what happened, she was a good daughter-in-law, a good mother, a good wife, and externally, she never did anything to harm the Su Family.
Her sudden hysterical change definitely had a reason, and that reason should come from him, her husband.
Back then, he too was struck by the divorce, half-listening to his father’s reprimands in one ear and out the other, and used painting to escape the reality of the divorce, telling himself that this decadence was only because he had lost his muse, not because he couldn’t let go of Lu Xuan.
"I will figure out the reason she acted that way at that time," Su Chenyi said to Elder Su. "Lu Xuan... she’s indeed not that kind of person."
Determination filled Su Chenyi’s eyes.
Elder Su waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, alright, go on then, do whatever you want to do."
Without delay, Su Chenyi drove Lu Xuan out for the test.
Hearing Lu Xuan mention that they might be monitored by people sent by the Lu Family, Su Chenyi deliberately took a long detour, making sure that there were no suspicious vehicles following them before heading to a rather secluded hospital.
This was the biggest sincerity Su Chenyi could offer, and whether or not Lu Xuan would think this hospital was connected to the Su or Lu Families was out of his control.
After paying extra for expedited service, the test result was available three hours later.
Lu Xuan sat in the hospital chair, staring at the "Exclusion of Biological Father" conclusion, her fingers clutching the paper turning white at the knuckles.
Was she really not a child of the Lu Family?!
Lu Xuan looked down, and it took her quite a while to regain her composure. "I, I would like to formally apologize to your family if possible."
Su Chenyi said, "I’ll take you back to rest first; we can talk about everything tomorrow."
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement. After washing up that night and tucking in the twins who insisted on sleeping with her in the guest room, she thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep.
But listening to her sons’ breathing, she fell asleep before long.
The next morning, after breakfast, the butler took the twins out to play, telling them that the elders needed to discuss matters.
Lu Xuan bowed to everyone to apologize.
"I said many things that hurt you all before, and I am truly sorry." She also knew it seemed like a show, particularly fake, but this was the only thing she could do for the moment.
"Two years ago, my brother... Lu You, he had me bury some things he gave me in various places around the Su Family Manor..."
With reddened eyes, Lu Xuan revealed everything that had happened two years prior.
When she married Su Chenyi six years ago, everyone envied her, and her family was happy and blessed her. Her mother, father, brother, and sister-in-law all admonished her to be a virtuous and managing wife who dutifully respected her in-laws.
Internally, although the Su Family were the wealthiest, there were many servants at home; still, certain filial duties had to be performed by oneself, so as not to put the mother-in-law in a difficult position. Externally, one had to always remember to act with integrity and magnanimity, so no one would think she, a daughter-in-law of the Su Family, was not up to par.
At first, Lu Xuan was apprehensive, but then she realized that her in-laws were very easy to get along with, and her husband’s brothers were also very friendly. She didn’t need to be so cautious. The more cautious she was, the more she seemed like an outsider.
Once she changed her mindset and started treating everything according to her personality, Lu Xuan found herself feeling much more comfortable. Her in-laws and her husband’s uncles treated her just the same as before.
Days passed by, and in a blink of an eye, four years went by. Her twin sons were already three years old and absolutely adorable.
Lu Xuan felt she had reached the pinnacle of life. Except for the fact that her husband was too fond of painting and always buried himself in the studio, there was nothing else that was bad.
Her parental family’s business also grew bigger with the help of the Su Family.
She thought this was the happiest life could be, until one day her parents asked her to return home and then gave her some bronze mirrors, wood wrapped in red cloth, and other items. They asked her to help bury them in various locations around the Su Family Manor, providing her with detailed drawings of where to place each item.
At the time, her parents said these items could improve the Su Family’s qi and consequently raise the Lu family’s fortune as well, while also making Su Chenyi pay more attention to her, making their marriage even more harmonious.
Her parents emphasized repeatedly that she must not open them and to properly put them in place, stressing not to waste these items, which were specially made by a master at great expense.
Although Lu Xuan did not believe in this kind of supernatural Feng Shui and thought it was superstition, she couldn’t bear to refuse her parents’ well-intentioned gift and placed the items in her car.
On the way back home with these items, the twins, sitting in their child seats, mischievously removed one of the cloths from the wood, then burst into tears, saying the wooden doll was bleeding.
She was startled at that moment, pulled the car over, and opened all the items. She discovered animal skulls, daggers, and dolls carved with terrifying features wrapped in the red cloth and couldn’t believe these were good things. In confusion, she searched online and found that these items could actually destroy the Feng Shui of a home. She then called her eldest brother, Lu You, to ask if their parents had been swindled.
To her surprise, Lu You said, "These items were specially prepared by me, given to you through our parents. Sister, do not forget that you are a member of the Lu Family, with our blood running through your veins. I just want both the Lu and Su families to become better, and it’s our parents’ wish as well."
"My brother... Lu You said those things wouldn’t harm the Su Family, but I still didn’t believe it. So, I kept the items in the guest room and instructed the servant not to enter, while I would spend a while there every day," Lu Xuan said with a bitter smile, "As a result, I became more and more irritable. When Chaoyu and Chaoyang cried, I would feel very annoyed and even resorted to hitting them."
"I was certain that these items were no good, so I called back home and said I had lost them all."
"They were very angry when they heard I had lost everything, cursing me for being ungrateful, saying that raising me all these years had been a waste."
"I had a huge fight with them, intending to act as if this had never happened." At this, Lu Xuan gave a mocking laugh, "But I couldn’t do it. Since I could hide this matter because they’re my relatives, who knows if I might do something irreversible for the sake of this kinship later on, harming my children and my husband’s family?"
"You know what happened next," Lu Xuan fell silent for a long while before continuing, "I also said yesterday that I came back this time because I wanted to borrow money. When I was in America, I opened a Dance Institution with my teacher and my teacher’s friend. Unexpectedly, the friend turned out to be a fraud and ran off with all our money."
"The institution went bankrupt, and my teacher was suddenly diagnosed with Fabry disease."
"My teacher has taught me to dance since I was a child, and I don’t want to see her die in pain. I want to come back for treatment. It might be my personal retribution, but I have been diagnosed with leukaemia myself."
"They said they could help me, go to the hospital to help match my marrow, give my teacher money for treatment—on the condition that I reconcile with Su Chenyi, gain your trust, and follow their instructions."
"I am truly sorry for erupting at you all two years ago. This is the entire truth; I am not some selfless saint."
Having said everything, Lu Xuan’s face appeared more relaxed. She didn’t wear makeup today, and some small red spots surfaced on her face early in the morning, symptoms of subcutaneous bleeding.
Even after a good night’s rest, these symptoms of illness wouldn’t disappear.
The Su Family, having heard all this, felt sympathy for Lu Xuan’s terminal illness and regret that Lu Xuan and Su Chenyi had been separated due to the Lu Family’s interference. Of course, their disgust for the Lu Family was predominant.
The Lu Family had been plotting against them for the past five years!
Lu Xuan and Su Chenyi’s initial romance was freely chosen, but now it seemed that there may have been manipulations in their so-called free love. Lu Xuan’s marriage into their family was also a strategic move!
However, Mianmian caught the key point in Lu Xuan’s words, "Oh no, where did you throw those items? Those are things that can destroy Feng Shui and fortune; it would be terrible no matter where they are placed!"
