After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 296

"Where's the stuff?"

An old man's hoarse voice came from inside the door, and An Yuwei suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck.

She shivered from the cold!

Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, she took out a wooden box from her bosom. "It's all in there."

"Ah."

The old man reached out his hand towards her, revealing a sliver of his profile. His red-glowing eyes startled An Yuwei, causing her to take two steps back.

Before she could take a closer look, the door was slammed shut.

Dust fell from above, choking An Yuwei and causing her to cough repeatedly.

"What a strange place!"

She waved her hand in front of her eyes, sweeping away the dust.

Thinking about the message that person sent and the old man's red eyes just now, An Yuwei felt like she had fallen into a deep pit!

It struggled inside but couldn't get out.

The door opened again soon.

The withered, bony hand reached out again, tossing the white porcelain bottle, held between its fingertips, into the woman's arms.

There were no other sounds, and the door was closed again!

Although An Yuwei was dissatisfied with the old man's attitude towards her, the eerie atmosphere around her made her tremble, so she had no choice but to leave quickly.

Not long after she left, another figure appeared at the door.

After confirming that the address on the note was here, Chi Anruo kicked the door in frustration, shouting, "Is anyone inside? I've come to get my things!"

She originally intended to go directly to Shuiyunju to find Jin Yize, but received a message from Chi Cang on the way.

They say they sell love charms here that can make your crush fall for you.

Although Chi Anruo didn't believe it on the surface, she still hoped that Jin Yize would treat her differently, which is why she asked Chi Cang to send the address. She didn't expect it to be such a remote teahouse!

"Squeak."

The wooden door slowly opened, and a young girl appeared before Chi Anruo.

"Is the guest here to request a talisman?" The girl smiled at her and pulled her into the house. "The master is on the second floor, and has been waiting for Miss Chi's arrival."

She realized that the other person knew her last name before she even said anything.

Chi Anruo's doubts dissipated considerably, and she followed the people up to the second floor.

Half an hour later, Huanhuanxixi came downstairs with a talisman in her hand.

"As long as this stuff works, I'll introduce more customers to you in the future." Chi Anruo couldn't wait to stuff the talisman into the pendant, paid the money, and then left.

But the moment she stepped out of the wooden door, her expression froze for a split second.

When I came to my senses, I found myself in a secluded alley.

The blue stone bricks under her feet caused a slight pain in her feet, which were wearing high heels.

"Why am I here?"

Chi Anruo looked around strangely, trying to recall why she was there.

I decided not to think about it any further and took out my phone to call a car.

Looking forward to meeting Jin Yize!

......

When An Jiuxi and the others returned to Shuiyun Residence, the sky was beginning to lighten.

The group stayed up all night and were so sleepy they kept yawning.

She didn't even have time to eat the breakfast prepared by the housekeeper before rushing back to her room to sleep.

Si Tang and Shi Wenfu, on the other hand, were quite energetic as they sat with Steward Nian, drinking tea and glancing at the comb next to Steward Nian from time to time.

Shi Wenfu clearly sensed something and tried to speak several times.

They were all stopped by their own masters.

"Then I'll trouble you, sir, to lead us to the guest room." Si Tang put down his teacup, stood up, and followed behind Butler Nian.

His gaze swept lightly over the sandalwood comb on the table, signaling Shi Wenfu to stay and investigate.

After the two had gone far away.

Shi Wenfu then reached out and took the sandalwood comb, pondering how to get the contents out of it.
