Su Qingci hugged his waist tightly, her voice nasal, "My mother is in charge of the housekeeping power in the mansion. All matters in the inner house are decided by her. I can't leave the Su Mansion."

"But don't worry, I can take care of myself."

Su Qingci was thinking of giving Lu Huan a few more words about safety, but at this moment, he heard a servant announce at the main hall door, "General, Madam, General Lu is here!"

Hearing this, Su Qingci did not dare to delay and hurriedly withdrew her hands that were originally hugging Lu Huan. She took out a handkerchief from her waist and wiped her face. After tidying up her appearance, she stood beside Lu Huan in a dignified and polite manner.

When she saw Lu Guang approaching, she hurriedly bowed and greeted him, "Father."

Lu Guang saw a slight blush at the corner of Su Qingci's eyes, and he understood what was going on, so he nodded slightly at her.

Then, Lu Guang turned his gaze to Lu Huan, holding a map in his hand.

He said to Lu Huan in a serious tone, "Come here, let's go to the study. I want to talk to you in detail about the current situation and the terrain and other related issues."

Lu Huan knew very well that his experience on the battlefield was far less than Lu Guang's. In order to return safely as soon as possible, he naturally would not refuse Lu Guang's kindness.

So he nodded slightly and then walked towards Lu Guang.

Su Qingci followed them silently into the study.

After entering the study, she first poured a cup of hot tea for each of them, and then brought two exquisite snacks.

Finally, Su Qingci said softly, "Father, you two can chat first. I'll go prepare some luggage for Ziyi to take on the journey."

Lu Huan turned to look at her, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but still said, "Go."

Su Qingci nodded and closed the door for them when he left, leaving Lu Guang and Lu Huan in the study to continue discussing military and national affairs.

…

Su Qingci didn't quite know what people going to war should bring, so he went to ask Zitan first. Although Zitan had never fought on the battlefield, she was a well-trained secret guard after all, and knew roughly what was needed.

Su Qingci followed Zitan's instructions and carefully prepared the necessary luggage for Lu Huan's journey.

He also quietly placed an amulet that he had worn for more than ten years into his leather belt.

Fearing that Lu Huan might accidentally lose it, Su Qingci took out the needle and thread and carefully sewed it up tightly, making sure it was safe before she felt relieved.

Xiao He: "Madam, you have been wearing this amulet for a long time. The old lady once said that you must not take it off unless there are special circumstances such as bathing..."

This amulet was obtained by Liu Jingru when she was eight years old and took her to Kaishan Temple to pray for it.

The maids serving her at the time were instructed by Wang Miaoqing to be lazy and idle all day long, and were very careless in taking care of her, so that she suffered from diarrhea for a long time due to eating spoiled cakes.

The child was only eight years old and was almost exhausted from stomachache.

Liu Jingru firmly believed that Wang Miaoqing had done this intentionally, so she made a big fuss in the mansion, and then had a fierce quarrel with Su Songqi, and asked Su Songqi to deal with those maids.

But at that time, Su Songqi was at his most biased. He firmly believed that Liu Jingru was deliberately provoking trouble, so he did not hesitate to deprive her of the power to manage household affairs and transferred it to Wang Miaoqing.

After this incident, Liu Jingru became even more convinced that Wang Miaoqing was trying to harm her and her daughter in order to take away the housekeeper power that she had finally regained.

A mother who knows that her child's illness is caused by someone else will naturally be angry and will try to seek justice.

Even if Wang Miaoqing did not order someone to poison Su Qingci, her diarrhea was indirectly related to Wang Miaoqing.

But Su Songqi was protecting Wang Miaoqing, so she had no choice.

So when Su Qingci recovered, she took her to Kaishan Temple to pray for a talisman.

Coincidentally, there was an elderly master named Zuo at Kaishan Temple. Due to his old age and frailty, the master no longer told fortunes for people, but occasionally consecrated and blessed the amulets people had obtained.

However, that day, Liu Jingru brought Su Qingci to Kaishan Temple and had just prayed for a peace amulet when they happened to meet this master at the corner.

The master surnamed Zuo not only personally blessed their amulets, but also gave Liu Jingru some advice.

He said that Su Qingci would have a destined person, but this marriage would come later, at least after she turned eighteen, and asked her not to rush to find someone for Su Qingci.

He also told Su Qingci not to take off the amulet unless necessary, otherwise disaster might occur.

Liu Jingru asked a few more questions, but the master just said that the secret cannot be revealed and said nothing else.

So when Su Songqi was anxious to find a partner for Su Qingci, Liu Jingru refused to do so and insisted that she wait until she was eighteen before she started looking for one.

She always kept the amulet in her purse and would not take it off except when sleeping or bathing at night.

The reason why she married Lu Huan was because she was already eighteen years old before she met Lu Huan.

In this era, it is inappropriate for her not to have found a suitable husband at her age.

So later when Su Qingci talked about Lu Huan with Liu Jingru, Liu Jingru naturally thought that Lu Huan was the one the master had mentioned, her destined person.

As for this amulet, she felt that she had no use for it now. Anyway, she was staying in the mansion and would not go too far. Lu Huan would also send people to protect her safety, so there was no need for her to carry it with her.
