Chapter 252: Beat This Poisonous Woman to Death

"No rush." Qin Bi walked over and said in a low voice to the Heir of Marquis Prince Anyuan and Lu Xin, "In my opinion, call your Second Aunt's younger cousin over; this time, let's solve the problem directly."

Qin Lang leaned in to listen. The Heir of Marquis Prince Anyuan said, "I can't face my Second Aunt."

"What I mean is, call your Second Aunt over to test your luck value and see if it has decreased," Qin Bi explained patiently. "If it hasn't decreased, then Qin Lang and I are just talking nonsense, unworthy of belief. In the future, you shouldn't believe in such superstitious things either; they are all fake. Can't you see? The Marquis and the Lady protect the Second Branch mother and son so tightly. They really don't want to cut ties with the Second Branch because of you. If you feel bad, just endure it. If your luck value hasn't decreased, it will also satisfy the Marquis and the Lady's wishes. In the future, we won't mention that your Second Aunt brings bad luck to others."

The Heir of Marquis Prince Anyuan and the Second Young Master Lu Xin exchanged a glance. Qin Lang asked, "What if the luck value has decreased?"

Qin Bi smiled: "Hit her hard, cut ties, expel her from the clan. Any one of these, as long as it's done cleanly so no luck sticks to her, this woman's life is not good. She has no luck at all; her life is miserable."

With the matter at hand, the Heir of Marquis Prince Anyuan gritted his teeth. If he could confirm that this Second Aunt was leeching his luck, he would beat her to death, destroy everything she wanted, and inevitably cause her misfortune to return to her.

The Second Young Master Lu Xin also hardened his heart and asked, "Should we call a few clan members over as well?"

Qin Bi smiled; this Second Young Master was quite sharp. "Call a few loudmouths, a few gossips. Just say your elder brother has been weak lately and wants to test his luck value. Don't say anything else."

The Second Young Master Lu Xin nodded and stepped forward to leave. Qin Bi warned, "Don't tell your Second Aunt about testing the luck value, or she won't come."

"Why won't she come?" Lu Xuan wondered.

"Guilt," Qin Bi said. "She knows what a wicked fate she has herself. If she hears about testing the luck value, she will guess it has something to do with her. Your Second Aunt definitely won't want to come."

The Second Young Master Lu Xin snorted, "If she really tries something, I'll drag her here even if I have to drag her."

Lu Xin and Lu Xuan rode away on horseback. The Lady of Marquis Prince Anyuan invited everyone into the living room.

During idle chat, hearing that if it was confirmed to be the Second Branch's doing, they would have to cut ties and expel them from the clan, the Marquis and the Lady of Marquis Prince Anyuan were simply unwilling. They could believe in metaphysics, and they had already found a practitioner to check on the child, but expelling the Second Branch from the clan was going too far.

At noon, every family took their afternoon nap. Lu Xin and Lu Xuan split up into two groups. Lu Xuan went to call the aunt in the family with the sharpest tongue, and another young aunt. A younger cousin who loved to make a scene also came to the Marquis Fu.

Since the Heir of the Marquis Fu was unwell and needed them, the two aunts were very enthusiastic, ready to lend a hand with anything.

Lu Xin went to the Second Branch. The younger cousin stood up and followed him out immediately. The Second Aunt's eyes darted around; she always felt uneasy. "What's going on?"

"The elder brother is weak and needs to test his luck value," Lu Xin said. "We juniors don't understand. If we need help, it must be the elders who know more. Mother sent me to invite you over."

Upon hearing that the Heir of Marquis Prince Anyuan was weak, the Second Aunt didn't say she wouldn't go; she followed them out the door.

The Second Young Master Lu Xin brought the Second Branch mother and son. Several sisters-in-law exchanged greetings. The Lady of Marquis Prince Anyuan was on edge, for no other reason than worrying that Qin Bi and Qin Lang would stir up discord among them.

Qin Bi saw this and felt contempt. This was truly failing to distinguish who was close and who was distant.

The Heir of Marquis Prince Anyuan had been unwell for a long time, yet this couple didn't worry. But if something happened to the Second Branch, look at how worried they all were. No wonder the poisonous woman of the Second Branch calculated to leech luck with impunity; she was spoiled.

The young aunt asked, "Do you need us to do anything?"

"No need," Qin Bi said to her deliberately. "My cousin Qin Lang has checked. The Heir of Marquis Prince Anyuan has had his luck leached by someone, which is why he has been so sickly. Everyone knows but doesn't say it; actually, no one believes it. Testing the luck value will show the truth."

The young aunt showed a thoughtful expression. The other aunt, who loved to gossip, glanced at the Second Branch. She knew everything; it was just that this sister-in-law of the Second Branch had no luck. People had told her repeatedly not to come to the Marquis Fu, but she wouldn't listen. It was mostly about her.

"Elder brother," Lu Xin handed the testing stone over. "Test your luck value."

The Heir of Marquis Prince Anyuan placed his hand on it. Everyone watched with curiosity, originally intending to make a spectacle, but who knew the Heir's luck value was so high that it directly formed a cloud of luck and a cluster of fortune in the air.

The cloud cluster carrying luck and fortune was pure and flawless, bearing auspicious signs. In this cultivation world, the human luck value was one hundred and twenty, and the fortune value was the same. The two aunts and several young masters of the Lu family looked up with their heads tilted back.

The Heir of Marquis Prince Anyuan's luck value was eighty; it had originally been one hundred. At some point, twenty points of luck value had been lost.

"Hiss!" The aunt who loved to gossip was puzzled, staring at the testing stone in confusion. "I remember this child's luck value was one hundred. How did it lose twenty points of luck value?"

The young sister-in-law curiously observed the auspicious cloud cluster carrying luck. The Marquis and his wife were also puzzled. The Lady of Marquis Prince Anyuan looked up: "Why has this child's luck value decreased?"

Only the people of the Marquis Fu knew the Heir's luck value; Qin Yan, Qin Bi, and these outsiders did not. Hearing this, they all looked up at the flawless cloud cluster.

Looking closely, suddenly, a mass of black mist clung to the cloud cluster.

Everyone's eyes immediately widened. What was this? As the black mist clung to the cloud cluster, the luck value on the testing stone became unstable. It was clear that this mass of black mist was leaching the luck and fortune values from the cloud cluster.

Following the black mist downwards, this black mass was continuously emanating from the Second Aunt, drifting up strand by strand into the air, tearing luck and fortune from the auspicious cloud cluster.

The cloud cluster kicked and struggled, but the black mist clung tightly, refusing to let go.

"Oh my god!" The loudmouth aunt shouted loudly, "What the hell is this thing?"

The other aunt, along with Lady Jiang and Lady Lin, ran away in fright. The maids and nannies were terrified, screaming as they jumped away from the Second Branch mother and son. Qin Yan and Qin Xun both changed color.

Qin Bi watched coldly from the side. See, this was just like the incident at the General Zhenyuan's residence. People wouldn't believe in demons and monsters until they saw them. Now that they saw misfortune leaching luck and fortune, they were all quiet.

"Second sister-in-law, you wretched woman, you dare to harm my son!" The Lady of Marquis Prince Anyuan's eyes turned red with pain. She wanted nothing more than to tear this sister-in-law apart. "No wonder my son has been suffering. I didn't believe it..."

Seeing the black mist emanating from the Second Branch tear at her son's auspicious cloud, the Marquis of Prince Anyuan's eyes bulged with rage. He didn't care if she was his younger brother's wife anymore. He strode over, kicked the poisonous woman of the Second Branch away with his foot, nearly kicking her to death.

The Lady of Marquis Prince Anyuan rushed over, scratching and hitting. "I'll beat you to death, you harmful wretch."

"Don't hit my mother!" The younger cousin of the Second Branch tried to intervene.

Lu Xin and the others rushed over and kicked the Second Branch's younger cousin down. Several young masters punched and kicked him. Suddenly, several figures in skirts joined in. The illegitimate daughters of the Marquis Fu also lifted their skirts and kicked, determined to beat this poisonous woman to death.
