These "little lucky charms" were sent by spirit servants to various towns and villages at the border of the four countries. Some "forced" the growth of full ears of rice in the fields, some "cured" the chronically ill elderly at the village entrance, and some left "blessing" tokens in the market. Wherever they went, legends about "lucky charms appearing" were left behind.
Shen Qingtang even specially had the stories of these "Little Lucky Treasures" illustrated into leaflets.
Posters were displayed in various streets and alleys, and shop assistants were instructed to post them while selling goods.
The news was mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, that "Fu Bao has appeared in various places".
Soon, the saying that "there is not just one Fu Bao in the world, but many Fu Bao who have come to protect all living beings" spread.
Some people say they have personally witnessed Little Fubao from the west of the city making withered trees sprout new leaves.
Some people say that Fu Bao from the north of the city gave them a lucky charm.
Sure enough, they escaped an accident; some people also said they saw several Fu Bao appear together, they looked similar, but each had their own special abilities.
In a short time, the rumors about "Duofubao appearing in the world" intensified, and the believers who originally only believed in Lu Jiaojiao began to waver.
People rushed to various places to find other "lucky treasures," and some received "blessings" from the little lucky treasures that were the incarnations of spirit servants.
Their lives have truly improved, which has strengthened their belief in the "Duofubao" story; some people have also found that other "Little Fubao" are gentle and kind in comparison.
He never asks for offerings, while Lu Jiaojiao not only demands gold and silver jewelry, but also frequently scolds her believers. The difference between the two is obvious.
More and more people are beginning to doubt Lu Jiaojiao's identity as "Fu Bao".
The once bustling Lu residence gradually became deserted.
The believers were no longer as fanatical as before, and some even came to question them: "You say you are the only Blessed One, but why are there Blessed Ones appearing in other places as well? And they are much kinder than you, and they never covet our money!"
"Are you a fake? Are you using Fu Bao's name to scam us out of our money?!"
Looking at the empty courtyard and listening to the doubts coming from outside, Lu Jiaojiao trembled with anger, her chest heaving violently.
She never expected that Shen Qingtang would use such a method to deal with her.
Those "Little Lucky Baby" figures that suddenly appeared are clearly fake, but why do people still believe them?
They were just a bunch of little girls who looked alike; what right did they have to steal their followers?
She screamed hysterically at Lu Jin and Lin Peirou beside her, "Go! Go tell those people that I am the real Fu Bao! Those are all fakes! They are counterfeit goods made by that poisonous woman Shen Qingtang!"
Lu Jin and Lin Peirou were so anxious that they ran around in circles and rushed to the street to explain to everyone, but no one believed them anymore.
They had previously received a lot of benefits by using the identity of "Fu Bao's parents". Now that the truth has been exposed, not only have they lost the benefits, but they are also being besieged and accused by others.
They were accused of conspiring to deceive everyone, which made the two men turn ashen with anger, yet they were helpless.
Those who once fawned over them now avoid them like the plague.
Some people even came to their door demanding back the money and food they had previously given away, leaving them in a very sorry state.
Looking at the desolate scene in front of her door, and recalling the glory of being adored by everyone before, Lu Jiaojiao felt a surge of jealousy and anger that almost consumed her.
She smashed the teacup on the table, tore her gorgeous clothes, and frantically cried and cursed in the courtyard: "Shen Qingtang! I'm not finished with you! You ruined everything I had, and I will never let you get away with this!"
No matter how much she screamed, she could no longer regain the trust of her followers.
The gimmick of "The Only Lucky One" was completely shattered, and the faint aura of fortune on her body gradually dissipated as the power of faith was lost.
Now, she's nothing more than a despised liar, no different from her previous wretched state, only filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.
Looking at the few believers in the courtyard and listening to the praises of other "Fu Bao" coming from outside the wall, Lu Jiaojiao felt her anger erupt like a volcano.
She suddenly grabbed the jade vase on the table and smashed it to the ground. The shattered porcelain shards scattered all over the floor, just like her beautiful dream that had been broken into pieces.
"It's all Shen Qingtang's fault! It's all that poisonous woman's fault! She ruined everything for me!" she screamed hysterically, her voice sharp like a wild beast being choked, her eyes filled with insane resentment.
