Chapter 6 Eager to become someone's concubine
"what!"
Fifth Aunt was startled and tried to shake off Zhai Rong's tightly gripping hand, but after shaking it for a long time, she couldn't budge it at all, which made her a little annoyed.
"Second Miss, what are you doing? Let me go!"
Zhai Rongyu's gaze fell on her wrist.
She was wearing a white jade bracelet with reddish-brown fringes.
Fifth Aunt assumed she had taken a liking to the bracelet, so she said, "If Second Miss likes this bracelet..."
Where did you get this bracelet?
Zhai Rongyu interrupted her directly and let go of her hand.
Fifth Aunt was somewhat taken aback by her serious expression. "It was...it was a gift from my family...what?"
"My family?"
Zhai Rongyu raised an eyebrow. "I think it's someone you have a deep-seated grudge against, isn't it?"
Fifth Aunt's brow twitched, and she said hastily:
"Second Miss, why do you say that? This bracelet was specially found for me by my sister. It's made of the finest jade! If you don't know, Second Miss, don't talk nonsense!"
She raised her arms.
The bracelet on it has a fine texture and a subtle, shimmering sheen.
The red jadeite is bright and pure in color, like light flowers floating in a white jade lake, which is beautiful and exquisite.
It is truly an excellent piece of jade.
Zhai Rongyu remained unmoved, and said in a sinister tone, "The jade is fine, but this person's heart is wicked! Do you know that this is not ordinary jade, but a soul-locking bracelet that can take your life? Look at the red jade on it, the strands winding around, it is actually an array that can bind your fate..."
"This is impossible!"
Fifth Aunt interrupted her with a cold face.
How could my sister harm her?
The Second Miss must be talking nonsense!
Zhai Rongyu shook her head. "Judging from the style, you've been wearing this bracelet for more than half a year, haven't you?"
Fifth Aunt's face instantly turned pale.
She's right...
I've indeed been wearing this bracelet for more than half a year now.
"Take another look and see if you can take this bracelet off."
Fifth Aunt reached out to take off her bracelet with some doubt, but she couldn't get it off no matter what she did.
"How could...how could this be..."
She was drenched in cold sweat.
It was clearly not difficult to put it on at the time.
But now, why can't I take it off?
Zhai Rongyu sighed and said, "This formation is extremely insidious. Once you put it on, it's hard to take it off. If you wear it for a long time, not only will your luck be transferred, but your life will also be in danger."
Fifth Aunt was struck dumbfounded.
Transfer...transfer...
Yes, a year ago, my sister became a divorced woman. When she came to me crying, she said that my life was much better than hers.
Although she was an illegitimate daughter, she was able to marry into the powerful and influential Minister's mansion.
They enjoyed all the riches and honors.
She had the title of legitimate daughter, but the husband she married not only failed in his career, but also cruelly abandoned her!
This made her, the legal wife, live worse than a concubine.
Overwhelmed with grief, her sister grabbed her hand and begged her to introduce her to the master.
She said that the master was a womanizer and would definitely not be able to resist her beauty.
Besides, there are many concubines in the household. If she were to enter the household, she could help him out.
But how could my sister know the hardships of the Minister's mansion?
Outsiders say that the master is a womanizer, but he is actually a cold-hearted and indifferent person.
The infighting in the inner quarters is ruthless, and she can't even see her own future. How could she bear to let her sister come in and suffer again?
Therefore, she resolutely refused.
She even comforted her sister, saying that their mother's family was not short of money, and that a single woman could certainly live a carefree life.
Why jump into a new fire pit?
But her sister immediately got angry, saying that she was selfish and couldn't stand to see her doing well, and stormed off.
Not long after, she brought the jade bracelet to him, wanting to reconcile.
He confessed with tears streaming down his face.
She said she knew her sister liked red jadeite, so she went to great lengths to find jadeite of that color.
I only ask for my sister's forgiveness.
She already had no husband, and she couldn't afford to lose her only sister as well.
They also shared many intimate words.
She was deeply moved.
Unexpectedly... her sister's actions... were meant to take her life...
Fifth Aunt was teetering on the brink of collapse.
My heart felt like it was being gripped by a giant hand, making it hard to breathe.
Zhai Muling quickly caught her, "Auntie, are you alright?"
"Mu Ling, tell me...why did she want to hurt me? We've been sisters since childhood..."
Fifth Aunt's face was covered in tears.
Zhai Muling felt a pang of heartache and turned her head away with a sense of reluctance.
"Rong'er, do you have any way to save your aunt?"
Fifth Aunt suddenly realized what was happening and rushed over to grab Zhai Rongyu's hand tightly.
"Second Miss! Since you recognize this bracelet, you must have a way to save me!"
"Please, Second Miss, save me!"
Zhai Rong patted her hand to comfort her.
"Saving you isn't difficult, but... can you bring yourself to do it?"
Fifth Aunt, her face pale, murmured, "What does this mean? Could it be... could it be that she's going to talk about my sister..."
Zhai Rongyu nodded.
She is not a saint and cannot save everyone.
Good and evil deeds are rewarded accordingly; cause and effect are a cycle of reincarnation.
Those who harm others will eventually pay the price.
"This Soul-Locking Bracelet consists of a mother bracelet and a daughter bracelet, usually made from the same piece of material. The daughter bracelet absorbs energy and transfers it to the mother bracelet. Once the daughter bracelet is worn, it is difficult to remove. However, I have a method that can stop the mother bracelet from absorbing energy and even transfer the energy to the daughter bracelet."
Fifth Aunt frowned deeply.
"But I didn't see my sister wearing any bracelet."
Zhai Rong calmly took a sip of tea. "The mother-and-child bracelet is just a form. Besides bracelets, it can also be made into pendants, hairpins, and other items. As long as it can be worn on the body, that's fine."
A flash of white light went through her mind, and Fifth Aunt clutched her handkerchief, exclaiming urgently, "The pendant! It's the pendant!"
She remembered.
"It's a harmless sign."
A few days ago, her older sister came to visit her, and the maid accidentally spilled tea on her.
She took her own clothes and gave them to her sister to change into.
At that time, I saw that my sister was wearing a "nothing happened" sign.
She was curious about when her sister started liking to wear this kind of jewelry, but her sister wouldn't let her take a closer look and made up an excuse to brush it off.
For this, she even punished the maid, and now it seems she should be thanking her.
Zhai Rong nodded slightly.
"That's right. The 'Nothing to Worry' card is pure and has the greatest effect."
Fifth Aunt's fingertips dug into her palms, and her face turned pale.
So, her sister was so eager to take her life...
She looked up at Zhai Rongyu, her eyes filled with determination. "Second Miss, what is your plan?"
"Simple."
Zhai Rongyu took the hot tea handed to her by the maid and took a sip.
"For the mother bracelet to absorb the fortune of the daughter bracelet, it must be blessed with a talisman. If I'm not mistaken, there must be a talisman behind this peace plaque. Call your sister here, and we'll replace her talisman."
Fifth Aunt hesitated.
"But my sister is so careful with that 'nothing' sign, how can we let her take it off?"
Seeing Zhai Rongyu's calm and collected demeanor, Zhai Muling said to Fifth Aunt, "Aunt, there's no need to worry. Since Rongyu asked you to bring her here, she must have a way."
She looked at Zhai Rongyu and smiled serenely.
Zhai Rongyu was somewhat surprised.
My sister trusts me so much?
[As expected, my talent can't be hidden!]
You know what, you really shouldn't say...
Believe in me and you will have eternal life. Sister, rest assured! I have never let my disciples down!
She puffed out her chest.
[My sister won't lose money investing in this!]
Zhai Muling lowered her head and smiled faintly.
Rong'er appears serious on the surface, but inside she's so... carefree.
She's absolutely adorable.
Fifth Madam nodded and instructed the maid beside her, "Send a message to your family and ask my sister to come over tomorrow. Tell them... we need to discuss her coming into the household."
Upon hearing this, the maid took her leave.
Fifth Aunt lowered her eyes, her gaze unfathomable.
She has been living at her parents' home ever since her older sister was divorced.
She did these harmful things, probably because she still coveted the wealth and glory of the Minister's mansion.
If you use this reason to call her, she'll definitely come.
Since she's so eager to become someone's concubine, I, as her younger sister, can't very well refuse her wishes.
Zhai Rongyu: I'd like to dedicate the song "Accomplishment" to you.
She leaned forward and said to Fifth Aunt, "Tomorrow, you will..."
Fifth Aunt listened attentively, then looked surprised, and then nodded seriously.
