“What nonsense are you saying?”
Chu Sihan glanced at him lightly. “I’m just saying something else to Sheng Sheng.”
He only told Lu Sheng that his grandmother wanted her to have dinner at the Prime Minister’s Mansion tonight.
It was unknown what these people were suspicious about.
“Huh?” Shi Yi was stunned. “What did you say such that Miss Lu looks so serious?”
“I don’t have a solemn expression.”
Lu Sheng looked at him blankly. She was just considering if she should bring some things for Matriarch Fu.
Shi Yi was speechless.
Was he too nervous?
————
After leaving the teahouse, Lu Sheng and the rest parted ways with Yun Ting and Shi Yi.
Fu Sisi initially wanted to follow Yun Ting. However, she remembered that she would be returning to the Prime Minister’s Mansion with Lu Sheng later, so she reluctantly watched him leave.
It was her first time visiting Matriarch Fu, and Lu Sheng did not know what to give her.
Chu Sihan told her that Matriarch Fu liked to pay her respects to Buddha.
She remembered that there was a string of prayer beads in the Space Bracelet. Her master had given them to her to wear, but she had never worn them because she thought they were too big.
Hence, she bought an exquisite box in the bustling city and placed that string of prayer beads inside.
“These beads are so beautiful!”
Looking at the round and transparent agate-colored beads, Fu Sisi could not help but sigh. “This thing should be worth a lot of money, right?”
“I don’t know either.”
Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said, “My master gave this to me. I’m just presenting Buddha with borrowed flowers.”
She had no concept of these things. Take the Yuan Dynasty’s blue and white porcelain for example.
If she had known about this in her previous life, she would have sold them all long ago.
Chu Sihan explained calmly, “This is a relic. It contains the Buddhism power of an eminent monk. The Buddhism power contained in a relic can break through all evil. It could be said that it’s priceless, but there’s no demand.”
Fu Sisi exclaimed, “So powerful?!”
She looked at Lu Sheng and said, “Miss Lu, why don’t you give something else? It’s such a pity to give such a precious thing away!”
Although it was a gift for her grandmother, she could not help but feel pity for Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “It’s alright. This thing is useless to me.”
She was an exorcist and was not afraid of these things.
When Fu Sisi heard that, she said sincerely, “Then I’ll thank you on behalf of Grandmother!”
Lu Sheng smiled at her before closing the box.
“Lord, the carriage is ready.”
Chu Yun shouted.
They boarded the carriage and went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
When they heard that guests were coming, and they were guests whom Matriarch Fu valued, the people from the Prime Minister’s Mansion did not dare to relax.
When Fu Yiyi saw this scene, her heart ached and she felt jealous.
She went to complain to Mdm Fu angrily. Unexpectedly, Mdm Fu said sharply to her, “Today, you’re a guest invited by your grandmother. Don’t mess around.”
She could kick up a fuss normally, but it was different today.
From Matriarch Fu’s attitude of specially coming over early in the morning to instruct her, it seemed like Matriarch Fu placed a lot of importance on Lu Sheng.
“She’s just a country bumpkin from the countryside. Why give her so much face?”
Fu Yiyi said angrily, “Even if we give her a bone, she would probably thank us profusely. Is there a need to prepare these? In my opinion, Grandmother is making a mountain out of a molehill.”
Mdm Fu rubbed her temples.
She felt that she had been wrong all these years. So wrong.
She should not have clung to Fu Yiyi and obeyed her every whim just because she was her husband’s good friend and benefactor’s daughter.
Now, her biological daughter was not as close to her. Instead, her adopted daughter complained to her every day, causing her to be in a difficult position.
