Chapter 93: The amulet must not be lost
After leaving Wange's yard, Su Tan and Cui Wan drew several amulets and handed them to Ji Rong.
"Tonight, no matter what noise you hear outside, just pretend you didn't hear it. Don't leave the house. Wear the amulet carefully and don't let it get wet."
"The situation is urgent. My senior sister and I need to go to Camel Mountain to see if we can find the young master's soul. I'll trouble you, Madam, to distribute these amulets."
Ji Rong nodded, looking extremely well-behaved. However, when her eyes fell on a green amulet, her brows knitted slightly. "County Lady Jiayi, I wonder what this green amulet is..."
Su Tan paused, then smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that our concubine Wange is really too beautiful, and I'm afraid she might be prone to encountering evil spirits."
"The skin corpse loves beauty. I think it has taken a fancy to Aunt Wan's skin and is trying to take over her body. Please, Madam, please give her this amulet."
Ji Rong was startled for a moment, shuddering silently, her voice trembling a little, "I really didn't expect the skin corpse also... also likes colors so much."
"That sister Elegy is really in danger."
"Who says it's not?" Cui Wan sighed. "But everyone loves beauty, and a skin corpse is no exception. Between an ordinary skin and an extremely beautiful one, even a skin corpse will choose the more beautiful one."
Ji Rong lowered her head and said, "Yes."
"So, if you look at it this way, being overly beautiful like Sister Elegy isn't necessarily a good thing."
Su Tan remained silent, then suddenly said, "In today's world, if one doesn't have other things to rely on, being overly beautiful is indeed a dead end. If one is not careful, it can easily lead to disaster. I think the young lady knows this."
Ji Rong was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile, not looking at Su Tan's eyes. "County Lady Jiayi, you're joking. I was born mediocre, not as pretty as Sister Wange. I had to study for a few years and barely earned a good reputation so that I could marry into the Shangshu Mansion."
"If I were as beautiful as Sister Wangge, I'd probably be called a vixen if I didn't do anything."
Su Tan and Cui Wan looked at each other and raised their eyebrows when they heard this.
But the two of them were in perfect tacit understanding and didn't say anything.
Cui Wan's gaze fell on Ji Rong, and she suddenly asked, "Young Madam, you didn't hide anything from me and my junior sister, right? We can't afford to be careless about what happened tonight. Young Madam, why don't you think about it carefully to avoid any omissions between my junior sister and me."
"That skin corpse is incredibly powerful. If the full moon comes tomorrow, my junior sister and I will be no match for it. I just hope that before the full moon, my junior sister and I can bring back the Second Young Master's soul."
Ji Rong clenched her fingers tightly.
She was still as virtuous and kind as before, with a smile on her face. She said to Cui Wan and Su Tan, "I haven't hidden anything from you two. I've revealed everything I know. It's my fault that I've never been favored by my husband. Even if you want to know something, there's no way to know it."
Cui Wan and Su Tan looked at each other but didn't say anything else.
Su Tan glanced at Ji Rong and simply said, "Since the Young Madam has no way of knowing, then forget it. It's getting late. My senior sister and I still have to go to Camel Mountain. Please, Young Madam, make sure to distribute these amulets to everyone."
Ji Rong nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I will definitely do it!"
Su Tan nodded, and just as he was about to leave, he turned back and warned, "Young Madam, please remember, no matter what you hear tonight, do not go out."
"As long as you don't open the door, with the amulet here, no one will dare to do anything to you."
Ji Rong tightly grasped the amulet in her hand, her face pale, but she said firmly: "Don't worry, I will never go out."
Cui Wan and Su Tan turned and left without saying anything else.
Ji Rong seemed to be relieved.
Her eyes fell on the amulets and she instructed the servants calmly with a deep gaze, "Distribute these amulets."
After a pause, she continued, "Sister Wange is very proud. If you go to give it to her, she might not accept it. She will definitely humiliate you."
"It would be better if I could go and send her off myself. Considering that I am the young lady, she will not dare to go too far."
Seeing her being so submissive, the maidservant beside her couldn't help but wipe away her tears and felt angry for her. "If you ask me, you should just not give this amulet to her. Didn't Master Su say that her face not only attracts bees and butterflies, but also provokes the skin corpses?"
"Why don't you just go with the flow and let that corpse eat that vixen!"
"By then, everyone will be gone. Even if the Second Young Master wakes up, he will only be sad for a while, and then forget about it."
Ji Rong shook her head, reached out and touched her maid's cheek, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she said very good-naturedly: "Okay, don't say this again in the future."
"Sister Wange is not a bad person, but she seems to be young, so she has a bad temper."
"Besides, my husband loves her. If anything happens to her, he will be sad. How can a wife make her husband sad?"
Ji Rong ordered the maids not to say anything bad about Wange anymore.
The maids were very disappointed with Ji Rong and thought she was too good-natured.
Not to mention allowing a concubine to get ahead of him.
There is clearly a great opportunity to eliminate this great threat, but Ji Rong doesn't want to use it.
It really is...
well!
Ji Rong personally delivered the amulet to Wange's yard, and as she expected, she was met with some verbal ridicule.
But Ji Rong didn't care at all, as if she really valued her husband's preferences more than her own life.
