Wishful Things

The young man pulled off the bright yellow safety talisman sewn on the inside of his robe, straightened his clothes, turned around, and handed the safety talisman to Xu Mingyi.

"This peace talisman was consecrated by an eminent monk and chanted by my mother for many days. It is said that it has the effect of warding off evil spirits and calming the nerves. You might as well take it with you for a few days to reassure your mind."

Mother was afraid that he would not take it with her, so she sewed it into the robe for him.

Although he doesn't really believe in these things, the existence of some things can give people some hints, and if they think it is credible, it will be more or less effective.

Xu Mingyi couldn't react in time for a while, and subconsciously said: "This is Lingtang's love for his son, how can it be better to give it to me—"

She thought it seemed a little too special.

"It's okay, I have a lot at home." Wu Chao said truthfully.

It was just a talisman, and almost none of the robes he used to wear were spared.

"Miss Xu, if you don't want to accept it for nothing, you can bring some snacks to the teahouse as a gift in return." Knowing that she didn't want to owe anyone, he added another sentence.

"Mr. Wu wants to eat snacks, just ask, why do you need to exchange this thing?"

The last time she went to find Qi Lin's body, she still owed him a favor.

Wu Chao raised his eyebrows.

Just open your mouth if you want to eat - is there such a good thing?

Thinking of the delicious snacks that night, the boy did not take back his outstretched hand, his eyes were calm and firm.

Miss Xu is so interesting, he has no reason to be stingy.

After all, Xu Mingyi raised his hand and took it.

"Then thank you Mr. Wu."

The safety talisman still seemed to carry the warmth of the boy's body, and holding it in the palm of his hand could still make people feel a little warmth.

And this faint warmth seemed to be dispelling the haze in her heart.

Xu Mingyi looked at the boy in front of him seriously.

In this world, there are always people like Wu Chao, they are born with a good skin, and under the skin there is a frank heart that is not afraid of people prying, their existence makes people feel comfortable and beautiful—— Ru Xia Han this kind, after all, is still a minority.

And the true face, which is so dark as to make people sick, is destined not to see the light.

And what she wants to do is to put those invisible things under the scorching sun, completely wipe them out, and pay the due price.

Xu Mingyi was holding the peace talisman, and the courage in his heart was slowly returning to its place.

She stood up abruptly.

"I'm going to see my grandfather now, and explain the matter to him—"

Wu Chao nodded.

"Then I'll wait for you here."

Seeing that she seemed puzzled, the young man explained seriously: "If Duke Zhen does not agree with you to intervene in this matter, then I will do it."

The Duke of Zhen's mansion is at the foot of the emperor, Xia Tingzhen is the chief assistant of the court, and the emperor's close minister, so it is normal for the Duke of Zhen to have scruples.

He knew that Miss Xu had no intention of letting him get involved in this matter, but if she really couldn't do it, she must have regrets——

Then let him be her retreat when she has no choice.

The young man's demeanor was meticulous, obviously he was not just saying something casually, but was taking this matter very seriously.

Xu Mingyi came back to his senses, smiled at him, nodded and said: "Then Mr. Wu wait for me."

She clearly felt his kindness, but she still thought that no matter what, she would not push this matter to him.

But if grandfather is really unwilling to agree, she must think of another way. Wu Shisun has always been smart, and it is good to have him discuss countermeasures together.

Seeing the girl turning around and striding towards Duke Zhen's mansion, with her slender but straight back in night clothes, Wu Chao looked at it for a while, and doubts appeared in her eyes.

Miss Xu took the lead in overturning her own wall without knocking on the door?

The upbringing since childhood made the young man say "it's inappropriate" to his heart, but soon another voice overshadowed it—maybe it's easier to do this, after all, she is a short-tempered person, and she can be forgiven.

Then I witnessed one, two, three...

Zhu Xiu and a group of followers in black followed silently over the wall.

"..." Wu Chao didn't comment any more, and turned his head to look at the calm river under the moonlight.

The impatient Xu Mingyi went straight to the residence of Lord Zhen Guo.

"Grandpa, can you rest?"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xu Mingyi asked.

"Girl, miss..." The young servant guarding the porch looked in amazement at his own girl in night clothes with a dagger pinned to her waist, and forgot to reply for a while.

Is it really appropriate for a girl to dress like this in the middle of the night?

Hearing the sound, Uncle Yun came out to salute the girl, and secretly glanced at the startled servant.

The girl is just wearing black clothes, what is there to make a fuss about, she can't think about what to wear at home?

The boy silently lowered his head.

It was he who forgot for a while, and there is nothing surprising about it, after all, this style is indeed very girly.

"The old man just took a rest." Uncle Yun asked softly, "If you are in a hurry, this old slave will go and wake up the old man?"

Although waking up the old man is tantamount to plucking the tiger's hair, girls are always an exception.

Xu Mingyi nodded slightly, and walked into the hall.

On weekdays, she would never disturb her grandfather's rest, but Xu Ying's matter could not be delayed, and she had to make a complete decision tonight.

"You're making a lot of noise and keeping people from sleeping! I see you are itchy!"

The voice of the old man's dissatisfaction came from the bedroom.

People who have fought wars all year round are used to being vigilant, and they wake up at the slightest sign of trouble.

"Old master, it's the girl here..." Uncle Yun hurried into the inner room.

The next moment, the face of the frowning old man suddenly softened, and there was no trace of anger in his tone: "Is it Zhao Zhao?"

"Young lady must be in a hurry to find the old man, so I'm waiting outside in the hall."

Duke Zhen immediately sat up, got out of bed, put on his shoes and draped his clothes, and strode out of the bedroom.

"To disturb grandfather's rest." Xu Mingyi saluted.

"It's okay, I didn't fall asleep at first—" Lord Zhen Guo, who was still snoring a moment ago, looked at his granddaughter's attire, frowned and asked seriously: "But what happened?"

Uncle Yun led the servant back to the corridor outside the hall in due course.

Xu Mingyi explained the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, Lord Zhen Guo's face was extremely ugly.

"Xia Tingzhen raised such a scourge that is not as good as a beast!"

What kind of skill is bullying weak women?

If this was under his military account, he would have been dealt with by the military law long ago!

But this is destined to be just a hypothesis, after all, his subordinates are not willing to accept any trash or beast!

"That girl, is she still in the secret room of his other courtyard?" Duke Zhen asked his granddaughter after calming down.

Xu Mingyi nodded: "She wants to use herself as evidence, so she refuses to leave."

"Zhao Zhao wants to help her?"

Xu Mingyi nodded again, waiting for his grandfather's reaction.

"It's time to help!" Duke Zhen looked at his granddaughter and said cheerfully, "Grandfather will support you in this matter. Whatever you want to do, just let go and do it!"

Thank you for your monthly pass ~ good evening.
