Chapter 215 - Amulet
Chapter 215: Amulet
“Miss Dongfang, you must be more careful these two days. If they fail, they might prepare another plan.”
Lu Sheng told Dongfang Yuechu everything she had seen and heard from Nanny Zhu the night before.
After thinking for a while, Lu Sheng continued, “I’ve already swapped the Ghost Tooth Talisman out. If they send the amulet over today, you can just wear it. Don’t worry.”
“Thank you!” Dongfang Yuechu said sincerely.
She took out a small box from under her pillow and looked at Lu Sheng. “Miss Lu, I am unable to repay your great kindness. This is just a small token. Please accept it.”
“This…”
Lu Sheng did not reach out her hand but looked at the box in confusion.
“This is a hundred-year-old ginseng. It was my maternal grandmother who asked me to give it to Mdm Zhou to nourish her body. But it seems like there’s no need for that now.”
Lu Sheng smiled and pushed it back. “Miss Dongfang is sick now. Save it for yourself.”
A hundred-year-old ginseng was nothing to her.
If she wanted these, she just had to tell her master. She could get a thousand-year-old ginseng easily, let alone a hundred-year-old one.
Seeing that she was unwilling to take it, Dongfang Yuechu had no choice but to keep it.
“I’ll be marrying into the capital in about ten days. If you encounter any trouble in the capital in the future, you can ask Yuechu for help. As long as it’s within my capabilities, Yuechu will definitely help you.”
Lu Sheng nodded slightly and said a few more words to Dongfang Yuechu. She was about to leave when she heard from outside that Nanny Zhu had arrived.
The two of them looked at each other. Dongfang Yuechu said in a low voice, “Miss Lu, please sit first. You can leave later.”
Lu Sheng nodded slightly and sat back down.
Nanny Zhu was led in by Xianger. She glanced at Lu Sheng and frowned.
Xianger bowed and said with a smile, “Miss, Nanny Zhu said that Mdm got an amulet for you and asked her to deliver it to you.”
When Nanny Zhu heard this, she quickly added, “This old servant greets Miss. Mdm heard that Miss was possessed last night. Coincidentally, she went to White Moon Observatory this morning, so she asked for an amulet for Miss as well. Is Miss feeling better?”
Dongfang Yuechu nodded slightly and replied softly, “I’m much better now. Sorry for troubling Mother!”
Nanny Zhu smiled and took out the amulet that Mdm had gotten for her. She handed it to Dongfang Yuechu and said, “This is the amulet that Madam had gotten for you. The master said that you can wear it to ward off evil spirits. This also ensures your safety.”
Lu Sheng nodded slightly. Her amulet indeed had such an effect.
“I will help Miss put it on.”
Xianger took it eagerly and wanted to put it on Dongfang Yuechu.
Dongfang Yuechu glanced at her indifferently. Seeing her stop awkwardly, she smiled and said, “Go ahead.”
Xianger’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. She smiled and quickly placed the peace charm on Dongfang Yuechu’s waist.
“This is…”
Nanny Zhu looked at Lu Sheng and asked curiously.
She had never seen Lu Sheng before and did not know that she was the one who had saved Dongfang Yuechu last night.
However, when she suddenly saw an unfamiliar face, she felt a little puzzled.
Xianger’s eyes flashed as she introduced, “This is Miss Lu, Lord Chu’s fiancée. She was also the person who saved Miss last night.”
“Oh!” Nanny Zhu was enlightened.
It turned out that she was the person who had caused their plan to fail.
She snorted in her heart, but on the surface, she said gratefully, “This is all thanks to Miss Lu. Otherwise, I’m afraid our Miss would have met with disaster.”
