Marrying for someone else and being a widow? Stepmothers open classes to raise children

Gu Zhiyi paused for a moment and continued to explain: "On ordinary and peaceful days, the spiritual energy contained in the bracelet can help nourish the body and strengthen the physique. Wearing it for a long time can refresh the mind, enhance vitality, and prolong life."

But what she didn't mention is that for those who suffer from chronic diseases that are not fatal, this bracelet can also subtly cure their illnesses and bring unexpected recovery effects.

Although people with serious illnesses cannot be cured, they can often use some strange methods to increase their survival time by three to five years. However, whether it is the distinguished old lady or the majestic old duke, they have not suffered from serious diseases, so discussions in this regard seem redundant to them.

Xie Xun's fingers trembled slightly in the air, with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness: "Can you successfully resist the twelve disasters?"

Chao Yunxuan's injured shoulder involuntarily emerged in his mind. If she had worn such a bracelet with magical powers during that crisis, perhaps she would have been safe.

As for his doubts about the miraculous effects, after witnessing those amazing defensive formations with his own eyes, there was really no need to doubt it unless he was willing to deceive himself.

He hesitated for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons in his mind: "Then, can I..."

"Ten thousand taels of silver in exchange for an amulet."

Xie Xun was shocked when he heard this: "Ten thousand taels? Did your father and mother give you so much?"

Gu Zhiyi's gaze seemed to be examining a young child: "Why should I accept money from my father and mother?"

Although this statement is not completely accurate, she has indeed never accepted any money. The old lady's bracelet was a return gift from her. As for the old Duke, although she did not accept money or gifts, the other party was an elder and cared for her very much. As a junior, it was reasonable for her to give him a gift.

As for giving it to Xie Xun for free?

How is that possible?

Although Xie Xun didn't know the real reason why the old lady got the bracelet, he had already deeply felt the gap between himself and his parents. Ever since Gu Zhiyi entered the mansion, his parents had been caring for her. And his own behavior...

It's really not worth mentioning.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that he really didn't deserve such care.

"Okay, ten thousand taels is ten thousand taels. But, can it be made into a jade pendant or a bracelet?"

He currently has less than 20,000 taels of silver in his private treasury, so it is still feasible to pay this fee. If 10,000 taels of silver can really save a life, then this price is not too high. The appearance of the talisman always makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Gu Zhiyi's eyes flashed with something strange: "Are you sure you want to make a bracelet or a jade pendant? You know, these kinds of items are usually gifts between lovers."

Xie Xun closed his eyes slightly, and said in a low but firm voice: "Okay, then make it into talisman paper."

Gu Zhiyi nodded gently. Since the other party had become her patron, she naturally had the responsibility to explain everything clearly: "I will be able to prepare it for you tomorrow. You only need to carry this talisman with you to ensure your safety. Remember, you must carry it with you. Although it can still provide some protection even if you leave your body, this effect will gradually weaken as the distance increases."

Xie Xun nodded solemnly: "I will keep it in mind."

The next day, Gu Zhiyi made the jade pendant and talisman paper as promised. She was an honest person, and since the other party had paid 10,000 taels of silver, she naturally drew the talisman paper with great care.

Although the amulet was just an ordinary piece of yellow paper, in her skillful hands, it was endowed with extraordinary power, and ordinary people's crude means could not destroy it at all.

This mysterious talisman paper not only has the magical ability to resist a fatal disaster, but also can help the wearer calm the mind and nourish the body. Compared with the bracelet collected by the old lady and the jade pendant cherished by the old duke, although its appearance is slightly ordinary and the number of disasters it can ward off is slightly inferior, in other effects, they are equally matched.

As for the old Duke's jade pendant, it also possesses the amazing ability to ward off disasters twelve times.

The next day, the always busy old Duke did not have breakfast at home as usual, but Xie Xun showed up unexpectedly, which surprised the old lady. After the surprise, a warm smile soon bloomed on her face, full of kindness.

Gu Zhiyi knew in her heart that the old lady must have misunderstood something, but she just smiled indifferently and decided not to point out the misunderstanding, especially since the other party was her mother-in-law.

The old lady ate unusually fast today. After finishing her meal, she gently wiped the corners of her mouth, washed her hands, and then stood up and said, "I will go to the palace to visit the queen later. You can enjoy your meal slowly. Don't be in a hurry."

After the old lady left, Gu Zhiyi lost interest in continuing the meal. She took out the talisman paper she had carefully made yesterday and said softly, "Here."

For this distinguished patron, she never hesitated to show her thoughtfulness in the little details, just like this time, she also gave him a red talisman bag as a gift.

The moment Xie Xun took the talisman, he immediately felt refreshed, and the burden on his heart seemed to be relieved in an instant. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "This is really magical!"

Gu Zhiyi stood up slightly and said politely, "Sir, please enjoy your meal. I have finished my meal."

"Um..." Xie Xun called her hesitantly, but he didn't dare to look directly at her face. His eyes wandered and turned to the side: "Is this talisman paper effective for everyone?"

Gu Zhiyi saw through his intentions and was not angry. Instead, she hoped that he would buy a few more. "That's right. The amulet has no specific owner. Whoever wears it will be protected. Of course, we also have amulets that can be bound to specific owners, but the price will be several times higher."

Faced with Xie Xun, who was short of money and had only a few thousand taels of silver left in his private vault, he sighed helplessly: "Forget it, there is no need to bind the talisman to the master."

Anyway, with Yunxuan's martial arts skills, no one can easily succeed against her.

Gu Zhiyi had just returned to her residence when the housekeeper came to report: "Madam, Madam He is here and said that Madam Gu wants to invite you back to the mansion for a gathering."

Gu Zhiyi didn't even raise her head. She flipped through the book and replied calmly, "No."

She knew in her heart that Mrs. Gu's purpose in inviting her to the Gu family at this time was self-evident, and she could guess the reason without even thinking too much.

Gu Zhiping must have run to complain about her grievances with tears in her eyes again. If she wasn't extremely stupid, how could she have asked for trouble and brought bad luck upon herself?

After all, she had already made up her mind not to have too much to do with those people. She hoped that in the future she could be completely cut off from them, not interfering with each other's lives, and living their own leisurely lives.

However, this beautiful vision is destined to be just a fantasy.
