Hearing Ruan Xia's question, the woman didn't want to answer, but when she looked up and saw her husband's warning eyes, she suddenly trembled and spoke quickly.

"This was given to me by a master I met by chance before."

She slowly told the origin of the jade pendant. Ruan Xia listened and frowned more and more.

It turns out that after the woman married Boss Chen, she was never willing to be just a stepmother. She always felt that this was nothing more than a live-in nanny.

She was not willing to stay like this for the rest of her life.

Now that she is married to Boss Chen, everything in his family should belong to her.

Why should she take care of that damn child?

Moreover, the child had been in poor health and lingered on the sickbed. In order to leave a good impression on her husband, she took care of him in such a way that she even had dark circles under her eyes.

She was unwilling, why couldn't this child die earlier?

He is obviously a burden, but he still wants to live in this world.

It would be nice if he died earlier so she could be more relaxed and maybe even have a child of her own.

For a long time, women have been thinking about this every day.

Therefore, when the account arrives, she always feels that God has heard her wish.

The Taoist priest was really smart and figured out that she was not satisfied with her current life.

After her repeated prayers, the Taoist priest gave her a jade pendant and asked her to take it back and tie it with a red string for the child to wear all day long.

In this way, this jade pendant can quietly absorb the child's essence without anyone noticing.

On the surface, the child is healthy again and can run and jump.

But in fact, his life had already been overdrawn by the jade pendant, and no one would notice until the moment of his death.

As the woman explained, she was muttering in her heart.

The master clearly said this jade pendant. Only after completing the mission will it turn into powder and scatter in the wind, and no evidence will be found again.

But why are today's children so full of life and seem to have nothing wrong with them?

Is the master lying to her?

The woman shook her head, shaking off this speculation, and then turned her suspicious eyes to Ruan Xia.

"It's all your fault, right?"

Ever since she came in, the most suspicious thing in the whole room was the person in front of her. She had no choice but to doubt her.

Hearing the woman's words, Ruan Xia sneered.

"Why are you still shouting about catching the thief?"

"Now that you did it, you should be prepared to take responsibility for it."

After saying this, Ruan Xia realized that he would never get any news from the woman, nodded to Boss Chen, and left the restaurant.

Seeing her leaving, Xu Yuan quickly followed her.

Ruan Xia said nothing as she walked on the road, her head lowered and her expression very solemn.

Originally, she thought it was just a simple frame-up accident. The stepmother got a ghostly jade pendant from somewhere and asked her to absorb the child's essence day and night.

But just when she touched the jade powder, she suddenly noticed a particularly weak breath of Xue Daoyang.

She has been fighting with Xue Daoyang for so long, and she will never feel wrong.

She didn't expect that Xue Daoyang's hand had stretched out so far, as if he had weaved a huge net and absorbed the whole world.

On the surface, this piece of jade can absorb the boy's essence, causing him to die unconsciously.

But in fact, these essences will eventually belong to Xue Daoyang and become the power of his cultivation.

With Xue Daoyang's character, he would not just arrange this thing to absorb essence.

Ruan Xia couldn't imagine how many people in this world were suffering from his murderous hands.

She looked up at the sky, with a rare sadness in her eyes.

She hopes to meet more people like this and save them one by one.

Ruan Xia didn't speak a word along the way. Xu Yuan followed her and walked aside. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, and spoke cautiously.

"Master Ruan, what are you thinking about?"

Ruan Xia finally came back to her senses. She saw that she was already far out of the restaurant and smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something just now."

"If nothing happens, let's separate here."

It's almost time. Mo Tingye will be worried if he goes back too late.

Xu Yuan nodded. But thinking of Jiang Li'an, I felt a little uneasy and said, "Then Jiang Li'an..."

Jiang Li'an has offended Ruan Xia today. If something happens to her again, he is afraid that Ruan Xia will not take action because of what happened today.

He only has a capable master like Ruan Xia. If she refuses to help, then he really doesn't know who else can help her.

Ruan Xia knew what Xu Yuan meant and waved her hand, "If she has any questions, just come to me at any time."

Although Jiang Li'an's attitude was indeed very bad, at this moment she was beaten down and everything was excusable, so Ruan Xia would not blame her.

Moreover, this is a huge emotional disaster for Jiang Li'an. If she can help Jiang Li'an escape this disaster, it will be a great merit.

When she returned to Mo's house, as expected, Mo Tingye was already sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

This seems to have become a habit for the two of them recently. Whenever Ruan Xia goes out, Mo Tingye will sit on the sofa in the living room and wait for her when she comes back.

Ruan Xia sat down, close to Mo Tingye, and took a deep breath of the emperor's aura from him.

Although Mo Tingye had long been used to Ruan Xia's carelessness, he couldn't help but blush at this moment.

Ruan Xia didn't go out for the next few days.

She calculated that Jiang Li'an would probably be of use to her in these days, so she stayed at home quietly, waiting for this moment to arrive.

Sure enough, a week later, Xu Yuan called.

His anxious voice came from the phone, "It's bad, something happened to Jiang Li'an!"

After Ruan Xia heard this, he just packed up and went out.

Xu Yuan picked her up and went directly to the hospital.

The moment he saw Jiang Li'an, even though Ruan Xia was prepared, he was still shocked.

Compared with the last time they met, Jiang Li'an had lost a lot of weight, and the flesh on his face was sunken.

She lay quietly on the bed for an infusion. Although she was awake, her eyes were empty.

"How is this going?"

Ruan Xia frowned, she didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

Xu Yuan spoke slowly and told Jiang Li'an's recent experiences.

Since returning that day. Jiang Li'an not only never doubted her boyfriend, but also became better and better towards him.

On the other hand, her boyfriend, because of Jiang Li'an's favor, became more and more arrogant, and even found fault with Jiang Li'an 's appearance and figure from time to time.

Said she wasn't thin enough or perfect enough.

Because of this, Jiang Li'an is determined to make herself the perfect girlfriend in her boyfriend's heart.

But losing weight on her own was slow.

My boyfriend happened to say that he knew a beauty salon that could help with weight loss injections.

She believed her boyfriend without thinking, but she didn't expect that she was almost paralyzed after the injection.

If there hadn't been a servant at home, she would have been cold when she was found.

"Where's her boyfriend?"

Ruan Xia looked around and saw no one of the opposite sex except Xu Yuan and the doctor.

Xu Yuan said helplessly, "The man said that the company had something to do and he would come to see her later."

Even though Xu Yuan had restrained himself in front of Jiang Li'an, he could still hear the deep contempt in his tone.

In his opinion, this man is just a freeloader.
