As for Chen Lixue? She had ended up marrying Liang Xiuqing’s loser of an older brother and had huddled up in a desolate, rural area for half her life.

Even though she had become a lady of the village, she still fell terribly short when compared to Liang Xiuqin!

She hadn’t expected fate to favor her. Liang Xiuqin’s firstborn had been a girl, and as soon as she’d been born, the fortune teller had claimed that this daughter would bring bad luck to the entire family and was a star of death.

Apparently, this daughter had cursed Liang Xiuqin so that she wouldn’t be able to carry her second-born son to term!

Liang Xiuqin deserved the rotten luck. She wouldn’t have been facing all this trouble if she hadn’t stolen from Chen Lixue all those years ago!

But she had never expected Liang Xiuqin the b*tch to actually deliver that star of death to their own home!

Not only had this daughter cursed the Yuns, but now, she was here to bring bad luck to their own family! How could Chen Lixue swallow this injustice?!

She’d endured it all these years. If it hadn’t been for Liang Xiuqin, she would have been the wife of the Deputy right now. Her daughters would all have been rich heiresses!

Now, she was merely taking back the things that belonged to her!

Chen Lixue had calculated all this perfectly, but she had never expected that human will couldn’t win against fate!

Not only had Yun Xi survived, but she was also returning at a time like this!

Not only had she returned, but now the entire village was at her door!

Chen Lixue was feeling a bit guilty in front of all these villagers, so she quickly shut the door with the back of her hand. She was terrified that her own husband would be drawn outside by the noise.

Yun Xi instantly noticed her sly trick and quickly understood what was happening. Raising her voice, she shouted at the house, “Uncle, I’m back!”

Chen Lixue was shocked. She rushed over to grab Yun Xi and slapped her hard on the back.

“What are you shouting for? Your uncle returned home very late last night. Can’t you let him rest properly?!”

When Chen Lixue’s palm had hit Yun Xi’s back, it had increased the pain on her back where it had already been bruised from the fall.

She hadn’t dodged since she had already noticed her uncle standing behind the door and preparing to open it.

Her uncle had always treated her well, and if she didn’t give an authentic performance, it would truly disappoint the huge audience who had come all this way to see the show.
