Chapter 323: Chapter 322: Selling a kind of Red String

Lu Xuan had no intention of engaging in the conversation to begin with.

But the more that woman talked, the more enthusiastic she became, provokingly trying to incite trouble between her and Little Auntie, which started to become unbearable for Lu Xuan.

"If your kids are making a fuss, perhaps it’s related to the parenting from both you and your husband. Chenyi and I have been preoccupied with our careers over the past years, but now that the misunderstandings have been cleared up, we’ve dedicated a lot of time to the kids’ education. Would you like me to teach you some parenting methods?" Lu Xuan also smiled as she put away her mobile phone and turned to chat with the woman beside her, appearing eager to have a heart-to-heart, "Ah, my apologies, I forgot that your husband has recently been overwhelmed by company matters; he probably doesn’t have the time to discuss parenting with you, does he?"

After Lu Xuan finished speaking, the mother’s face had turned an iron shade of green.

There were other people around, and it wasn’t appropriate for her to lose her temper, so she could only offer an awkward smile, "Lu Xuan, you really are well-informed. There have been some minor issues with my husband’s company, but it’s alright, we’ve already sought blessings at Fahua Temple, and I believe we’ll soon get through this crisis."

The mention of Fahua Temple caused a flicker of unease to pass through Lu Xuan’s eyes.

She knew other families’ gossip because Old Lady Su would make it a point to tell her these things.

Though the Su Family is one that many wealthy elites in North City seek to curry favor with, they cannot afford to act like they’re the wealthiest around while being oblivious to everything else.

While the men need to keep abreast of corporate movements, she, as a daughter-in-law of the Su Family, needs to be privy to inside information about other families to avoid being completely in the dark at social events.

The high society gatherings, even those with only women in attendance, are far from straightforward.

In truth, Lu Xuan felt she shouldn’t be listening; she was back to atone, and couldn’t truly occupy the position of the Su Family’s second daughter-in-law.

But Old Lady Su wouldn’t hear of it, claiming there was only one mother for the twins, and only one wife for Chenyi, completely disregarding the matter of Lu Xuan hailing from the Lu Family.

Thus, Lu Xuan had no choice but to join Old Lady Su in discussing the high society gossip, including the matter concerning the woman before her.

And as for the matter related to Fahua Temple, it had been discussed in the Su Family’s group chat.

The Buddha statues in Fahua Temple had become infested with demons, fulfilling wishes based on the self-sacrifice of devotees, who would then pay a significant price once their wishes were granted.

It was said that those with good hearts, momentarily misled by the temple’s supposedly miraculous powers, were already out of danger.

But the wicked who had already paid their price would continue to endure their painful lives.

Under the Su Family’s investigation, these wicked individuals’ fates had been listed out, such as severing limbs, ending up in a vegetative state in bed, and the like.

Now, this woman before her was using the matter of Fahua Temple to gloat.

Lu Xuan, fully aware of the situation, could only pretend ignorance, replying, "Really? Then I wish your family’s business prosperity."

Upon hearing her well-wishes, the other woman’s face lit up with a smile, "Thank you for your kind words, hahaha."

After a brief pause, the mother added, "Ah, but with so many uncles in your family, including an elder uncle, and all being bachelors, do you not feel pressured living in the Su Family Manor? You know, since you belong to the second branch and are the sister-in-law to the other five brothers, as the saying goes, ’the elder sister-in-law is like a mother.’ I think you should seek some marriage blessings for them."

Lu Xuan nonchalantly replied, "No rush, my younger uncles aren’t worried, they’re all busy with their careers. They’re afraid that getting married before their businesses are stable could lead to complications, as it did for Chenyi and me."

"You’re wrong about that," the mother whispered mysteriously, leaning closer to Lu Xuan’s ear, "There’s a female celebrity who’s been quite popular in private circles lately, named Hu Yingying. Have you heard of her? She’s selling a type of red cord and claims that whoever holds this cord can forge a marriage connection with whomever they wish. It’s really powerful."

Lu Xuan genuinely had not heard of this news.

However, she quickly recalled something about Chenjin—it was the first thing Little Auntie did to help the Su Family after her return, which was to break the evil bond between Chenjin and a woman named Lin Rou.

It was reported that Lin Rou had been able to become Chenjin’s girlfriend by using a "black marriage thread," a kind of sinister tool.

Although the Su Family had investigated the matter, they couldn’t trace the origin of this "thread," just suspecting that something was amiss at Fahua Temple.

"There’s such a miraculous thing? Yuan Yuan, keep talking, I’m really quite interested," Lu Xuan said with an apparent show of interest.

Seeing Lu Xuan’s eagerness, Yuan Yuan curled her lips and revealed a triumphant look in her eyes.

She thought nobody in the world would refuse more wealth. Lu Xuan had been acting so high and mighty before, but now that there was a chance to get her younger uncles married, to control their marriages, her interest had piqued, hadn’t it?

"Isn’t your Little Auntie a rather mystical figure? She even tells fortunes, and quite accurately at that," Yuan Yuan’s eyes darted around as a sudden idea struck her, "How about this? You connect me with Little Auntie so I can have my fortune told by her, and I’ll tell you the conditions to get the red cord."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan’s first instinct was to refuse.

She was afraid that Yuan Yuan wanted to get in touch with Little Auntie with ill intentions.

Just as she was about to decline, Lu Xuan remembered something Chenyi had been telling her recently.

Chenyi had said he hoped that no matter what she encounters, before making a decision, she would think of their children and their fairly smart father, who could join forces with her to contemplate the issues.

With this in mind, Lu Xuan swallowed her initial response and said, "Okay, let me discuss it with Chenyi first. I can’t decide by myself about you meeting Little Auntie."

Yuan Yuan hadn’t expected to succeed in one go. She took out her mobile phone to add Lu Xuan as a friend, "Alright, let me know after you’ve asked, and then we can discuss the next step via Whatsapp."

"Just so you know, I’m the only one aware of this red cord because my cousin is also a celebrity. Ordinary people really don’t have access to this kind of information. Hu Yingying fears that leaking it would cause problems, so she doesn’t allow it to be talked about."

Lu Xuan nodded, "Thank you for being willing to share this with me. I’ve been back in the country for so long and haven’t had such an in-depth conversation with anyone yet."

She was genuinely grateful.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuan suddenly felt a bit awkward.

She was just trying to be friendly with Lu Xuan to gain some benefits. But now that Lu Xuan seemed so sincerely appreciative, it made her seem like she had ulterior motives.

However, getting access to Little Auntie was still an opportunity.

She had something urgent she wanted to have divined!
