In fact, Sheng Zhuoting had seen all of Feng Sao and his wife's recent behavior and was thinking of finding an opportunity to reconcile with his wife. "Alright, Feng Sao was hired by your mother and is a distant relative, so of course she will help your mother. She is a bit snobbish, but she is not a bad person at heart. Besides, she has taken good care of your grandmother during this period. She has made mistakes but also made contributions. Don't hold her for her little faults."
When Feng Sao was mentioned, Grandma Sheng had something to say this time: "That Feng Sao is a scoundrel. She secretly put something in my medicine. It wasn't poison, but it could control my nerves. She was obviously acting under someone's orders. I don't believe your daughter-in-law didn't know."
Old Master Sheng's pupils dilated in shock. "What? Really? Did Aunt Feng drug me?"
Grandma Sheng grew increasingly angry and exposed the other party's despicable intentions: "Wanwan immediately sensed that there was something wrong with the medicine. I've been drinking it for several days now, it's really too much. I was even thinking of thanking her and helping my daughter-in-law speak well of me to my son and grandson to ease the tension between you. Now forget about it, I think they're all in cahoots, trying to manipulate and use me. I wonder if Aunt Feng and Mouju's faction are related."
"The medicine bowl is still there. If you don't believe me, you can have someone test it. Anyway, I trust Wanwan. Wanwan, when Aunt Feng comes back later, should I pretend to be weak and put on some powder? I look too good right now, I don't look like a patient at all."
Gu Wanwan raised her eyebrows mysteriously, "No need to pretend, just be natural. Just say that you felt much better after seeing us. Let's see if they increase the dosage. Maybe that will draw out the person behind it all."
Grandma Sheng looked completely content with Wanwan, saying, "Wanwan, Grandma Sheng also wants a charm necklace."
Gu Wanwan readily complied with her elders' request, taking out four necklaces from her bag and having the Sheng family members share them.
"I don't want it." Grandpa Sheng waved his hand.
Left with no other choice, Grandma Sheng had to resort to her trump card: "Wear it if I tell you to, but if you dare take it off, we're getting a divorce."
Sheng Zhuoting instinctively wanted to refuse, "Mom, I don't need to, what would it look like for a grown man like me to wear a necklace?"
Sheng Hantao was about to say no, but then he heard Sheng Qing pull out two necklaces from his neck. "I have two extra lives now. My sister-in-law said these necklaces can ward off poison and all suspicious drugs. If you get close to something suspicious, the necklaces will heat up to warn you. And here's the important part: they can withstand one fatal attack. They can even protect against superhumans. Wear them while you can. Don't give them to me. Who wouldn't want an extra life? Anyway, I don't even take them off when I shower. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, my own mother might drug me."
Upon hearing his younger brother's words, Sheng Hantao decisively accepted the necklace from his grandmother. "It's Wanwan's thoughtful gift after all, we can't waste it. No one will see it if I wear it inside, so there's no loss, right?"
Sheng Chuxuan chuckled. "My older brother didn't believe me, but he still put it on in the end. That's right, just for peace of mind."
Seeing that his eldest son had accepted it, Sheng Zhuoting had no choice but to accept it as well, thinking that he would take it off when his mother wasn't looking.
Under Grandma Sheng's supervision, Grandpa Sheng reluctantly put on the necklace. To be honest, when he first put it on, he felt refreshed. "Let me make this clear, I'll only wear it for a few days. I can't wear it for a lifetime. If word gets out, my brothers will laugh at me."
“My grandparents also wear them, and now they are immune to all poisons.” What Gu Wanwan didn’t say was that she had prepared an upgraded version of the talisman necklace for her grandparents, which was also bound to a family space that only members of the Gu family could enter.
Old Master Sheng opened his mouth, speechless for a moment, "Wanwan, you said there's a problem with my family, what's the problem?"
Sheng Hantao recalled Gu Wanwan's reminder and came to the gate. Sure enough, he found a chrysanthemum mark on the doorplate, which would not be noticed if one did not look carefully.
So, he followed Fu Wanning and Xiao Xuan's example and brought the necklace close to the mark.
Unexpectedly, as if the two things were not compatible, the necklace was instantly flung away by an invisible force.
Only by experiencing it firsthand can you truly appreciate its power; it turns out this necklace really does work...
There are indeed things in this world that science cannot explain.
