Chapter 743 - She Made a Protective Talisman Just in Case (1/2)

“Why did she say that to you?” Chu Liuyue asked.

“I… I don’t know, I… I was talking with the Shao sisters, and we were talking about you. I said that when I saw you, you were handsome, graceful, and very gentle. But others always said that you were indifferent… I actually didn’t say anything else, but Fifth Miss Shao was furious, and repeatedly scolded me, saying that I shouldn’t mention you!” Wang Yuxin seemed to be more aggrieved.

Of course, she was implying that Shao Wanru also wanted to marry into Prince Yue’s Mansion, so she had shown great malice to Miss Wang because she presented herself as the future wife of Prince Yue. Shao Wanru was still in the beauty draft now, and it was doubtful whether she would get selected or not. It was ridiculous for her to be so certain and pretentious. She even bullied the prince’s beloved woman. No man could put up with her!

Although Wang Yuxin seemed aggrieved, she was secretly gloating.

Shao Wanru was indeed beautiful, so what? Miss Wang decided to speak ill of her to Prince Yue to make him hate her. Although he might see her outstanding looks later, so what? He would still feel disgusted. Chu Liuyue showed a surprised look. He picked up a cup of tea on the table with his slender fingers, took a sip, and lowered his eyes to cover the emotions.

Shao Wanru liked him and wanted to marry into the Prince Yue’s Mansion? With Shao Wanru’s identity, it was possible. But if she married into Prince Yue’s Mansion, it would be impossible for Shao Yanru to marry him too. Then the support of Duke Xing’s Mansion might be stolen by Chu Liuzhou. Of course, he did not want that to happen. Two sisters from the same mansion could not marry into the royal family at the same time. This rule was not absolutely carried out. However, it was certain that two sisters of the same family could not marry the same prince. Moreover, both of them were born to the duchess and had distinguished identities.

Comparing the two sisters, Chu Liuyue thought that Shao Yanru had a better chance of winning. But when he thought of Shao Wanru, he felt that he couldn’t let her go since she liked him so much. He secretly thought that he should find a way to marry the two sisters, which would be the best.

The room became quiet. Wang Yuxin twisted her body uncomfortably. She had thought that once she finished speaking, Chu Liuyue would promise her that he would never allow Shao Wanru to marry into the Prince Yue’s Mansion. But what did he mean now?

“Your Highness…” Wang Yuxin asked tentatively.

“I see. Why don’t you go back first and pay more attention to Fifth Miss Shao’s emotions in the future? If anything happens, report to me immediately. I will do what I can to help you!” Chu Liuyue raised his head and said in a gentle voice.

“Thank you, Your Highness!” Wang Yuxin stood up excitedly and bowed to Chu Liuyue. She was greatly relieved. It seemed to her that Chu Liuyue was just confessing his love to her. She got what she had wanted and knew that she should not stay here any longer.

Watching Wang Yuxin leave, Chu Liuyue frowned deeply and looked coldly at Wang Yuxin’s back. When he saw Shao Wanru’s figure in the palace that day, he felt more shocked than the time when he had seen Shao Yanru. If he knew that Shao Wanru would attract him so much, he should have done something when he was in Jiangzhou that day instead of waiting until now. Right now, he wouldn’t let Shao Yanru go. Fortunately, Shao Wanru was still young, so she could go back and wait for a few more years. When the most important matter was settled, it would not be difficult for him to ask Shao Wanru to enter the palace. Even if there were rules, it wouldn’t be difficult to break them at all once he was in power and ascended to the throne…

On her way back, when Wang Yuxin turned around and saw Chu Liuyue looking at her back “blankly” and reluctantly, her face instantly flushed with shyness, but she felt more pleased. She believed that Prince Yue liked her so much. Chu Liuyue was actually just in a daze. He hadn’t expected that Wang Yuxin could be so imaginative. He took a deep breath. This time he had to prevent Shao Wanru from being selected, especially selected by Chu Liuchen. He heard that the Imperial Grandmother seemed to have tried to paired her off with Chu Liuchen three years ago.

Chu Liuchen had been sick. As long as he was alive, he would be a sick prince that was not easy to deal with, and he must not take him lightly. He could start with Rui’an Great Elder Princess. As long as Rui’an Great Elder Princess understood that if Shao Wanru married Chu Liuchen, she would only end up being widowed, and he believed that the Elder Princess who had just found her granddaughter would not be happy about it. At that time, even the empress would have to take the Elder Princess’s advice, and would not force her.

As for the Empress Dowager, Rui’an Great Elder Princess also had her way to persuade her. As for him, as long as he showed his strength a little bit, the Elder Princess would understand how to choose. He became immediately relaxed when he thought about it. This matter had always troubled him, but he had not expected that Wang Yuxin had accidentally untied the knot in his mind.

Wang Yuxin would be of some use at some point. It was also a good idea to keep her watching Shao Wanru in the palace. It was a serendipity…

“Miss, are we going to make a protective talisman?” Yujie looked at Shao Wanru in surprise and asked.

“Yes, we will make one by ourselves. The protective talisman always has to be hung around the neck. If Third Sister knows that I didn’t wear the one she gave me, she will probably be unhappy!” Shao Wanru looked at the red pouch in her hand and spoke.

The fabric was just cut from a piece of clothing she had brought, and it was sewn into a small cloth bag, and two ropes were tied to the outside so that it looked very similar to the one that Shao Caihuan had given her before. The only difference was the exquisite pattern on it.

Shao Wanru closed the mouth of the pouch with a needle and thread, and then sealed it skillfully. Her needlework was not bad, because she had done needlework and embroidery when she was free in her last life. “Miss, there is no protective talisman in it!” Yujie’s needlework was not as good as Shao Wanru’s. She couldn’t help much at this time, so she reminded her master.

Protective talisman got its name because the most important thing was the small paper talisman inside. It could be stored for a longer time after the pouch was sealed.

“We don’t need to put it in. It’s just for making fashion. If Third Sister asks about it, I can pull it open a little to show her!” Shao Wanru said while she continued to seal it.
