Su Yujiao shook her head: "No need."
Just like those roof tiles falling from the sky, it might not be man-made, but rather part of the plot.
"Make way, make way, this horse has gone mad."
As soon as the three of them stepped onto the street, a carriage came rushing towards them, crashing recklessly through the market and heading straight for Su Yujiao.
"Madam, be careful!"
The Wei sisters pulled her aside, leaped up, jumped onto the horse's back, tightened the reins, and stopped the horse from galloping further.
"Thank you, young lady. You are truly a heroine. Luckily, no one was hit. Otherwise, I would have been bankrupt and still not enough to compensate."
Su Yujiao frowned deeply: "Let's go quickly."
"Madam, are you sure you don't want me to investigate?"
Wei Yingzi felt that these accidents were strange and happened too frequently, as if they were deliberate.
As soon as Wei Yingzi finished speaking, a gleaming kitchen knife was aimed straight at Su Yujiao's forehead, but Wei Sashuang blocked it with her arm.
Su Yujiao's face was ugly. Just because she changed the plot, and it was a crucial part of the entire book, did the author have to kill her?
In just ten minutes, she almost died three times!
The pork stall owner rushed over to apologize, still holding a wooden knife handle in his hand, which landed at Su Yujiao's feet.
"Sorry, I was chopping bones and the knife flew away."
"Are you alright?"
"How come you're not hurt? Are you blind?" Wei Yingzi looked at her sister's bleeding arm and was heartbroken. Her tone was naturally harsh.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, let's take the girl to the clinic for treatment right away, I'll pay for the medical expenses."
Su Yujiao frowned. This kind of accident couldn't go on forever; there would come a time when she couldn't avoid it.
Am I really going to die in the hands of a dog-like author?
Suddenly, she remembered Master Xuanqing, who seemed to have some real skills.
When he left that day, he seemed to say something like, "See you again someday."
I wonder if I could ask him for a talisman to ward off these accidents?
"Tiger and Stone, you two go to Zhenqing Temple and invite Master Xuanqing over."
“I will wait for you in the courtyard in the east of the city.”
"yes."
Along the way, Su Yujiao and her two servants encountered one unexpected event after another. By the time they arrived at the courtyard in the east of the city, all three of them had sustained injuries to varying degrees.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Tao exclaimed in surprise.
"I'm fine, where's the child?"
"In the Su family, Madam personally takes care of everything."
"The eldest young master is not in the manor, so I haven't had a chance to say those things yet."
Su Yujiao nodded: "It's alright, no need to say anything more, the matter has been resolved."
"It's better not to say anything, so they won't worry."
"Miss, is this the imperial decree for divorce?" Xiao Tao asked in surprise, looking at the bright yellow fabric in Su Yujiao's hand.
"Um."
When Xiao Tao saw her nod, she suddenly burst into tears. "Miss has really had it so tough."
"Miss, you are finally free."
"From now on, you can do whatever you want, befriend whomever you want, and never have to be subservient to others or suffer injustice again."
"Miss, I will go and bring the young lady and young master over right away."
Su Yujiao quickly stopped her, saying, "No need for now."
She was surrounded by dangers and accidents, and her two children would only suffer if they stayed with her.
Let's wait until the crisis is over before we talk about it!
"Madam, Tiger and Stone are back."
The two children ran back breathlessly and handed Su Yujiao a yellow talisman.
"Madam, the young Taoist priest from Zhenqing Temple said that Master Xuanqing has gone on a pilgrimage and left you this amulet before he left."
Su Yujiao asked in surprise, "How did he know I would go to see him today?"
Tiger scratched his head: "It was probably calculated. Many people say that Master Xuanqing is very powerful."
How do I use this?
"The young Taoist priest said to put it in a sachet or pouch and wear it close to your body."
"good."
Su Yujiao immediately stuffed the amulet into a sachet, hung it around her neck, tucked it into her collar, and wore it close to her body.
That should prevent any accidents from happening, right?
She sat at home for a while, and nothing unexpected happened.
"Yingzi, you two come with me out again."
"yes."
The two Wei sisters were on high alert the whole way, but nothing happened.
Su Yujiao went to the Peony Pavilion to invite Jin Mudan to her home for a celebration that evening.
What are we celebrating?
Su Yujiao said with a smile, "Let's celebrate the divorce! I'll cook for you tonight and let you try some new dishes."
Jin Mudan blushed instantly upon hearing this. Mo Lingchen often said this to her, and then he would tease her in various ways.
"Why is your face so red? Are you sick?" Su Yujiao reached out to touch her forehead.
Jin Mudan shook her head: "No, I'm wearing too many layers, it's a bit hot."
"You go back and get ready first, I'll go right after I close the door."
"good."
Su Yujiao emerged from the Peony Pavilion in high spirits, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
Once we get back, we'll study how to use the Dragon-Snake Jade. If she can travel between two time periods, how could she not survive in this cannibalistic ancient world?
If she could take the child with her, she wouldn't come back at all!
She still refuses to change this awful plot!
"Madam, Master Xuanqing's amulet is truly effective; we haven't had any accidents for an hour now."
"That's right, a master always has some skills!"
"Let's go buy some lamb and other ingredients. We'll have barbecue tonight."
Wei Sashuang is more lively. She was a little hesitant to talk to Su Yujiao before because she wasn't familiar with her. But now that they've been through thick and thin together, she knows Su Yujiao's personality better and speaks much more freely.
"Does the barbecue you're referring to mean grilling meat over a fire?"
"right!"
When Wei Sashuang saw her nod, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.
The barbecue was terrible!
When Su Yujiao invited Jin Mudan, she thought she would have a delicious meal that night, but now she was really, really disappointed.
Wei Yingzi couldn't help but laugh when she saw her younger sister's droopy face. What a glutton!
"Why are you unhappy?"
"Don't you like barbecue?"
Wei Sashuang nodded honestly: "When I used to accompany my father on his escort missions, when we ran out of rations, we would hunt rabbits and pheasants to roast and eat, but they weren't tasty at all."
Su Yujiao smiled, her eyes crinkling: "It was grilled outdoors, without any fishy smell or marinating, of course it tastes bad."
"Try my cooking tonight, you'll love barbecue."
"Let's go buy some ingredients first."
The three of them strolled around the market, and Su Yujiao bought some of the ingredients that could be grilled.
I went to the grain and oil shop but found that there were very few seasonings, and no cumin or chili powder. Without these two seasonings, the roasted meat would lose its soul.
There's no oven either, but we have plenty of charcoal. We'll just have to build one out of bricks when we get back.
If only I could go back in time and go to the supermarket, they have everything!
After returning home, Su Yujiao instructed the children in the courtyard to wash, cut, and prepare the meat.
She locked herself in her room and fiddled with the dragon and snake jade.
