Chapter 260 was indeed replaced.
Xiao Yuti received a positive answer and looked dazed.
Oh no! His wife's pigs have wandered into someone else's vegetable garden and started rooting up the cabbages! How am I going to explain this to his wife when he gets home?
"Cough cough..." Liu Zhengqing and the others following behind Xiao Yuti coughed a few times to get his attention when they saw Xiao Yuti standing there dumbfounded for a long time without saying a word.
Xiao Yuti then remembered the important matter at hand, barely suppressing her curiosity about when the two of them would get together, and said awkwardly, "How about we wait until Wanxi finishes eating?"
The group exchanged glances, seemingly realizing that their sudden arrival was somewhat impolite.
Just as she was about to nod, Ye Wanxi put down her chopsticks and got up to walk to the sofa not far away: "I'm full, what's on your mind?"
Unlike the other two, this was Liu Zhengqing's second time meeting Ye Wanxi, and he took the lead in greeting her.
"Hello, Miss Ye. Do you remember me?"
"Hmm." Ye Wanxi nodded, then turned to look at the middle-aged man and woman behind him. "Your father, and... your aunt?"
"Yes, yes, this is my dad, and this is my aunt. They came with me today and want to meet you."
When Mr. Liu and Aunt Liu saw that Ye Wanxi recognized their identities at a glance, they felt a pang of anxiety and dared not be negligent even more.
"Hello, Miss Ye. We are Zhengqing's father and aunt. It's a pleasure to meet you. We hope you won't find our small token of appreciation offensive."
As he spoke, Mr. Liu brought out a large number of bags and packages, the contents of which were clearly valuable.
Ye Wanxi turned to look at Gao Min and nodded.
Gao Min then stepped forward and put the things away.
The Liu family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Ye Wanxi was willing to accept the gifts, and their eyes lit up with anticipation.
"Sit down, what's the matter?"
As soon as Mr. Liu and the others sat down, they said awkwardly, "It's like this, I heard that Zhengqing came to see Miss Ye with Old Xiao before, and even asked Miss Ye for a few talismans to take back."
"That's right. Mr. Liu asked for talismans for his aunt, cousins, and I sold him three. Now..."
Ye Wanxi looked up at Aunt Liu: "There's only one left."
Aunt Liu's heart trembled, and her palms became sweaty: "Yes...yes, Zhengqing asked for the talisman for me and my two children. Now two talismans have been used, and only my youngest daughter has one left."
"That means you and your son have both used up your cards."
"Um."
Ye Wanxi rested her chin on her hand, a half-smile on her face, and asked, "Who used it?"
“This…” Aunt Liu’s face paled slightly, and she subconsciously looked at her brother and nephew.
Mr. Liu was more knowledgeable and experienced. Ye Wanxi saw through their identities at a glance and pointed out that only one of the three talismans was left, which was enough to show that she was no ordinary person.
He knew very well that no lie would work against such a person.
"These are my brother-in-law's; both of them are."
"Oh?" Ye Wanxi crossed her legs and changed her sitting posture. "If I remember correctly, when Mr. Liu bought these three talismans from me, I emphasized that these three talismans were only for his aunt, cousins, and not for his uncle. And this matter can be told to you relatives, but it absolutely cannot be told to his uncle, or anyone else."
"So, who gave this thing to Mr. Liu's uncle? And who told him about it?"
Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, the expressions of the Liu family members in the room changed, especially Aunt Liu.
Her eyes were slightly red, her face full of regret and sorrow. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. Zhengqing went back and gave me these three talismans, and told me everything he heard from you."
But you don't believe it.
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I'm half-believing and half-doubting."
Just as Xiao Yuti had worried during their last meeting, one was her husband with whom she had lived for over twenty years, and the other was a so-called master (a charlatan) she had never met before.
It goes without saying who Aunt Liu would trust more.
Therefore, she did not fully believe Liu Zhengqing when he told her these things.
Even after much deliberation, she finally told Li Yonghu about the peace charms.
Although Li Yonghu said that these charlatans were not to be trusted, he secretly kept the three peace talismans in mind.
“I really didn’t expect that he would secretly switch my and my son’s talismans and use them for himself.”
Aunt Liu still felt heartbroken and furious when she recalled the scene from a few days ago.
She was hit on the shoulder by a flowerpot that fell from upstairs a month ago and was hospitalized. Logically, she shouldn't have been discharged so early under such circumstances.
However, as accidents happened one after another in the family, Aunt Liu, as one of the injured, had no choice but to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of her injured children.
Her son was stabbed several times at a class reunion not long ago. Although he was not seriously injured, he was severely weakened due to excessive blood loss. She has been taking care of him in the hospital these past few days.
That's bad enough, but even with his son lying in the hospital, he still can't escape bad luck.
I either almost slipped and reopened my wound while using the toilet, or the IV needle would inexplicably malfunction during treatment, leaving my hand covered in needle marks every time I needed an IV.
When Liu Zhengqing brought the amulet back to her, Aunt Liu, thinking it was better to believe it was true than not, put it on all her children.
Coincidentally, after she put it on, her son suddenly stopped having bad luck.
Aunt Liu was quite happy at the time, but unfortunately, she relapsed after only a few days and it seemed to be getting worse.
Aunt Liu didn't think much of it at first, assuming it was just a coincidence or that the talisman had limited effectiveness.
One day, while she was pushing her husband out to buy things, a car suddenly crashed into them.
At the time, Aunt Liu was busy paying the bill and was about five or six meters away from her husband. The car almost grazed her as it crashed into Li Yonghu.
Anyone who saw that scene would have thought that Li Yonghu was likely in grave danger.
But the result was that Li Yonghu, who was hit head-on, was completely unharmed, while she, who was grazed by a hook on the car, was caught on the hem of her clothes and rolled on the ground, suffering severe abrasions on both arms.
It was at that moment that Aunt Liu happened to see a familiar talisman fall out of Li Yonghu's shirt pocket and instantly turn to ashes.
This scene had a huge impact on Aunt Liu. After she was taken to the hospital and her wounds were bandaged, the first thing she did was to look at the good luck charm her son had given her.
The item was still there, but the pattern inside had changed, and when I looked at the one in my hand, it was the same.
Just to be on the safe side, Aunt Liu even went to find her daughter's coin.
Because her daughter was rescued in time after an accident at school and only suffered minor abrasions on her arm, the Li family members, young and old, have also been involved in accidents one after another.
Aunt Liu was really worried, so she sent her to live with Liu Zhengqing's grandparents for care and was not at home.
Unexpectedly, this preserved their daughter's safety charm, preventing Li Yonghu from finding an opportunity to steal her away.
