The thirteen-year-old girl was full of horror as she grabbed Lu Jiao’s clothes like a drowning victim clutching onto a log.

Lu Jiao said in a hurry, “Get up and tell me how your mother’s doing.”

She then headed to the Su family. Behind her, people followed silently. Su Jinxiu explained while crying, “A lot of things happened today. I don’t even know where to start. Because of what happened this morning, I was very worried tonight and couldn’t sleep. At midnight, I still struggled to fall asleep so I decided to go to my mother’s room and chat with her. When I got there, I found her hanging from her ceiling.”

Su Jinxiu then screamed so loud her father jolted awake and ran over. He helped carry Lady Xu down.

“Did your mother defecate herself? Did her eyeballs pop out?”

Su Xiujin thought about it then shook her head, “No, when we got her down, she was trembling. After a few seconds, she stopped moving and breathing.”

Su Jinxiu cried harder while Lu Jiao sighed in relief. Lady Xu might survive this.

Those who hang themselves go through three stages. Stage one is buzzing in the head and body heating up. The second stage is body spasms. The third stage is fake death. During the third stage, the person would defecate themselves, their eyeballs would stop moving and their breathing would be prominent.

The last stage is short-lived – around three to five minutes. During this stage, the person could be revived.

Right now, Lady Xu hasn’t defecated herself nor did her eyeballs pop up. Lu

Jiao suspected that Lady Xu was entering the third stage and could be revived.

Lu Jiao quickened her steps even more, “Let’s hurry over.”

“Okay.”

Su Jinxiu ran back to the Su’s home. Behind her, Lu Jiao said to Officer Zhao, “If anyone tries to stop me from examining Lady Xu later, stop them.” Officer Zhao tentatively asked, “There’s still hope for Lady Xu?”

“I will try. Perhaps she can be saved.”

The group ran into the Su family home and headed straight to Su Jinxiu’s room. It was two rooms conjoined into one and right now, lots of people had packed the area while cursing.

“Why would she hang herself on such a good day? If she’s seeking death, she shouldn’t do it in the Su family!”

“Yeah, she thinks the Su family isn’t unfortunate enough and is trying to bring the energy down.”

In the middle of the room, Su Dahai painfully shrieked, “Shut up!”

Lady Xu was his wife after all. Now that she had died by hanging, Su Dahai was sad.

He knew very well why his wife chose suicide. First, she was hit by her sister-in-law, then was shocked by the news of Liu Xiang’s pregnancy. Later, urged by his own mother and Liu Xiang, he went to tell Lady Xu that he wanted to promote Liu Xiang to also be his wife.

Her expression had already changed for the worse at that time, but it wasn’t over. Su Dahai’s mother went to talk to Su Dahai’s son, accusing his mother of being not virtuous. The wives of husbands should help their husbands get more concubines. Lady Xu, however, fought her husband over it.

That stupid son of Su Dahai somehow decided to go talk to his mother and tell her that as a wife, she should allow her husband to get more concubines. Liu Xiang was pregnant and it made sense for her to get the wife title.

When Su Dahai heard about this, he felt his son didn’t do the right thing. However, he was so focused on Liu Xiang at the time, he didn’t speak up. Who knew his silence would end up killing Lady Xu?

Su Dahai regretted this. If he knew this would happen, he never should’ve brought up promoting Liu Xiang to a wife.

The moment Lu Jiao entered the room, the mother and sister-in-law spoke,

“Huh, what are you people doing here?”

“How rare to see you people. What are you doing in my home?”

Lu Jiao ignored this disgusting duo and headed to the main bedroom. The in-laws tried to stop her but Officer Zhao stepped in.

“Lady Lu knows medicine. She’s going in to see if Lady Xu has died.”

The two women started to howl, “She’s already dead! What’s the point of inspecting?! You think this family isn’t unlucky enough?!”

“Why did my sister-in-law do that?! What kind of hatred does she have against this family? Why must she hang herself at home?! I heard those who hang themselves at home turn into ghosts and haunt the people inside the home.”

When Officer Zhao heard their comments, he scolded, “Are you still human?!

How can you say something so disgusting to someone who passed away?! Everyone in this neighborhood knows how kind Lady Xu is. You people are the ones people have problems with.”

Officer Zhao then looked towards Su Dahai, who collapsed in the corner, “Su Dahai, you cannot be that heartless of a person. Those who are this heartless have no good karma.”

Su Dahai’s face was now gray. He tried to go into the room but Officer Zhao stopped him.

“You should wait until Lady Lu is done with her examination.”

In the room now were Lu Jiao and Su Jinxiu.

Lu Jiao started to perform CPR the moment she went inside. Every 30th compression, she would ask Su Jinxiu to breathe into Lady Xu’s mouth. The young girl didn’t mind it at all and did everything she could to save her mother.

Since Lady Xu was not reacting to CPR, Lu Jiao snuck out epinephrine from her space and injected Lady Xu with it.

Given how young and clueless Su Jinxiu was, Lu Jiao didn’t feel the need to be overly cautious.

After the epinephrine, Lady Xu’s chest started to heave. When Su Jinxiu saw this, she wailed, “Mom! Mom!”

Outside, everyone interpreted the crying as Lady Xu was confirmed dead.

Everyone reacted differently to the news. Liu Xiang was the happiest in the group.

Now that Xu Dou was dead, she could become a wife right away. The wife of the Su family was great news.

Liu Xiang had to work hard to stop herself from laughing out loud.

Liu Zhaodi was also close to guffawing. However, her joy didn’t last long.

With Lady Xu dead, Liu Xiang would be the matriarch. Liu Xiang was cheap and childish. With her personality, Liu Zhaodi and her husband will likely get kicked out. Could she really continue this comfortable lifestyle?

Liu Zhaodi’s eyes glanced left and right before she landed her gaze on Su Dahai.

She got an idea. If she managed to seduce her brother-in-law, she would have no problem staying in the Su family. If she could seduce Su Dahai, her husband would not dare to hit her anymore.

As for Xie Yunjin…

Liu Zhaodi’s gaze fixated on him. Xie Yunjin felt it right away and glared at her sharply and coldly.

Liu Zhaodi almost jumped back from fear. She looked away quickly but then sneered. Perhaps this man was disabled in that aspect. After all, what kind of man would reject the idea of hooking up with a beautiful woman?

She felt better then and stopped thinking of Xie Yunjin. Instead, she stared at Su Dahai and tried to come up with a plan..
