Chapter 244 Unclean

Gu Shuyan hadn't paid any attention to the item at the time, and after returning home, she didn't even know where she had put it. But today, for some reason, she suddenly remembered the amulet.

"Please help me find it quickly, you must find it."

Gu Shuyan gave the instructions and climbed onto the bed to search for the items.

Seeing this, the two maids naturally didn't delay and began searching quickly as well.

After searching for a long time, she still couldn't find the amulet. Looking at the messy room, Gu Shuyan slumped onto the bed in dejection.

"Miss, why don't you go outside and sit for a while while we tidy up?"

Gu Shuyan was clearly distracted, and the two maids had no choice but to let her leave first.

"What are you thinking about?"

Gu Shuyan was trying hard to recall her thoughts on the stone bench when a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Brother Yun, you've arrived."

Gu Shuyan didn't dwell on why Yun Yichen came to the backyard, but she believed that as long as Yun Yichen was willing, there was no place he couldn't go.

"What's wrong? Something on your mind?"

The little girl was clearly distracted, and with a hint of worry between her brows, Yun Yichen immediately guessed that she had something on her mind.

"It's not that I'm worried, it's just that I lost something."

"Something went missing? Are the people in your yard thieves?"

Yun Yichen tore off the paper and examined it. Because the front yard was busy today, Gu Shuyan's maids had all been transferred out, and there was hardly anyone left in the courtyard.

"It wasn't someone from the courtyard; I lost it by accident."

That amulet was so small, it probably got lost somewhere and was thrown away as trash. I can only blame myself for being so careless and not believing the old monk.

Seeing that Gu Shuyan remained silent, Yun Yichen's eyes darted around, and he pulled out a small amulet from his pocket.

"Is this what Shu'er is looking for?"

Gu Shuyan followed the gaze and saw that the thing she had been searching for was in Yun Yichen's hand. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be happy or not.

"How did this end up with you?"

Gu Shuyan was relieved that the item wasn't lost, but she couldn't remember giving it to Yun Yichen! Had she given it to him and then forgotten?

Actually, it wasn't that she forgot; it was just that Yun Yichen came to the North Courtyard again and happened to see Gu Shuyan holding this thing in her hand, muttering something to her brother Yun.

Yun Yichen didn't think much of it at the time and just took the item. Little did he know that Gu Shuyan would make such a big fuss about finding the talisman today.

"Have you forgotten what you gave me when you went to the Yun residence last time?"

Yun Yichen couldn't admit that he had secretly come to the Marquis's residence, so he could only lie and say that Gu Shuyan had delivered it.

Gu Shuyan didn't remember this incident, but now that the items were in Yun Yichen's hands, she could finally put her mind at ease.

"You must always wear this amulet and never take it off."

The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits. Even though Gu Shuyan did not believe that a talisman could do anything, she still hoped that it could protect Yun Yichen.

"Um."

Yun Yichen hummed in agreement, watching Gu Shuyan's brows relax, and reached out to pull the little girl into his arms.

Xu Yunzhi's words stirred up ripples in Yun Yichen's calm heart, which is why he risked running to Gu Shuyan's courtyard.

"Shu'er, may I come to your residence to propose marriage?"

Yun Yichen hadn't intended to put Gu Shuyan in danger so soon, but it was clear that those people had been eyeing her for a long time. If he didn't act now, he might never have another chance.
