Chapter 129 Are You Crazy?
She had thought it was merely removing one evil, exchanging one life for another, which was an act of accumulating virtue and merit. However, she hadn’t anticipated that the threads of fate were interlinked, her changing that woman’s destiny had also impacted those around her, causing the unforeseen death of Jiang Youfu, who should not have died this way, and this punishment forced the whole family to pay with their misery.
Yet, he had quietly left this world on that stormy night, as if fate deliberately mocked them by engraving sorrow forever into this family’s memory.
Fourth Lady felt a surge of regret in her heart, her skillful hands clenched into fists, a hint of barely noticeable self-reproach flashing in her eyes.
Her negligence had failed to dispel the ominous air hovering over the Jiang Family in time with the ancient rooster ceremony, ultimately leading to this unbearable outcome.
What frightened her even more, was that the Jiang Family was still harboring a malevolent spirit from the Otherworld, like a lurking viper, ready to strike at any moment, threatening everyone’s peace.
Thinking of this, Fourth Lady’s brow furrowed tighter, she knew, if she continued to meddle in the Jiang family’s affairs, her own time-worn life would also be in grave danger.
Therefore, a resolute expression appeared on Fourth Lady’s face, her words as cold and hard as iron, "You should leave, I, Fourth Lady, am powerless in the face of the Jiang family’s storm."

"Fourth Lady, my dear Fourth Lady, please show some compassion, and guide me on a clear path! Money, no matter how much, I am willing to give, we can talk it through!"
Jiang Xunzhong’s voice trembled with urgency, revealing a father’s helplessness and desperation.
