Li put down the needle and thread in her hand, took the thing from the maid, opened it and took a look, her mood was very complicated.
Looking at the amulet in her hand, Li suddenly remembered how much suffering and pain she had endured in order to obtain this amulet.
I still remember that when Yun Ran was ten years old, he had a high fever. He saw a doctor, took medicine, and used folk remedies passed down in the village, but the fever would not go away.
At that time, she didn't know who told her that as long as she went to a temple fifty miles away and asked for a talisman, the talisman would bless the person who wore it to be safe and sound throughout his life without illness or disaster.
She knew in her heart that this method might not work, but she was like grabbing the last straw and had to give it a try regardless of whether it worked or not.
Therefore, despite Mrs. Li's objection, she resolutely went to the temple to ask for a peace talisman after being beaten by Mrs. Li.
Li An did not accompany her on the way to the temple because people said that only amulets obtained with sincerity would be useful, so she did not let her husband accompany her.
Besides, even if Li An wanted to go with her, Old Lady Li would not let him go, so she set out on the journey to the temple to ask for a peace amulet.
Although fifty miles may not seem far, it is still very far for her, a woman who has never left home.
She didn't know the exact route, only that it was located south of the village. So, knowing the general direction, she took four steamed buns and a pot of water and set off.
She tripped countless times along the way, her shoes were torn, and her feet were covered with blisters. That would have been fine, but when she asked someone for directions, she was almost molested.
Fortunately, when she left home, she took a kitchen knife for self-defense and injured someone before escaping. After that, when she asked for directions again, she was careful and only asked women and the elderly.
But this brings up a problem, that is, many women and elderly people have never traveled far and are not very clear about how to get to the temple.
In the end, she didn't know how many people she asked, and after spending two days and one night, she finally found the temple.
Arriving at the temple, she knelt down and kowtowed devoutly, asked the abbot the reason for her visit, took out the private money that she and Li An had saved for a year, and then asked for a peace talisman.
She took the amulet with her and after Yun Ran put it on, a miracle happened. The next day, Yun Ran's fever subsided. Three days later, Yun Ran was full of energy and looked like he was sick at all.
Later, she told Yun Ran to carry the amulet with her so that it could protect her safety.
Yun Ran didn't listen to her much on other matters, but he obeyed her on this matter. From then on, the amulet was always hung around Yun Ran's neck.
When she learned that Yun Ran had found her biological parents and became the daughter of the prime minister, she thought she would never have the chance to see this amulet again in her life.
Unexpectedly, things are unpredictable, and this amulet fell into her hands again.
"Auntie, do you want to see the young lady from the Xiangfu?"
When Li heard the voice beside her ear, she came back to her senses. She wanted to say no, but the words on her lips changed and became "It would be nice to see you."
After the maidservant left, Li no longer had the heart to make small clothes and had the sewing basket put away.
She was willing to see Yun Ran, not because she still had mother-daughter affection for her, but because she wanted to see how cruel Yun Ran's heart was and how she could leave home without caring about anything.
Didn’t she think about how worried her family would be and how sad she would be?
In order to find her, she asked her eldest son, Fei, to leave home. However, more than two years have passed since then, and there has been no news of Fei, who left home to find his sister. No one knows where he is, and it is unclear whether he is still alive.
Besides this, the most important point is, how could she treat Yueyue like that.
Every time she thought of the suffering Yueyue had endured after leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, she felt so heartbroken.
While Li was thinking about something, Yun Ran outside the mansion was already getting impatient.
Originally she was thinking of meeting Li and giving her a good face, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.
Li dared to make her wait for so long. If Li could not fulfill her wish and let her enter the Prince An's Mansion as a cousin, she would never be polite to Li.
Qiao'er, who was standing nearby waiting for instructions, couldn't help but shudder when she saw the vicious look on her young lady's face.
She didn't understand why her young lady was so determined to come to Prince An's Mansion, but she knew one thing: if her young lady couldn't get what she wanted, she would be the one who would suffer in the end.
After all, the young lady is angry and has to vent it out, and she is the best punching bag.
She couldn't help but pray that the aunt of Prince An's Mansion would not only meet her young lady, but also fulfill her young lady's wish, so that the young lady would be happy and she could avoid being beaten and scolded.
Yun Ran didn't know that Qiao'er was so afraid of her. She only knew that Qiao'er would let her beat and scold her so that she could experience the joy of being able to control the life and death of others.
But at this moment, she was only thinking about what to say when she saw Li, and how to make Li soften her heart and forgive her for leaving home without saying goodbye.
"Miss, the people from the palace are coming out."
The door to Prince An's mansion opened. This time, it was still the doorman who opened it. However, as he opened the door, he said to the person behind him in a flattering manner, "Sister Xi Que, that is the carriage of the young lady from the Xiangfu Mansion."
Then a girl came out. It was Xi Que, the maid who served Li.
Xi Que walked to the carriage, bowed, and said, "Miss Yun, my aunt invites you."
"How come Li...your aunt doesn't know my identity?"
"I know what Miss Yun said."
"Since you don't know, why don't you come and greet Miss in person?"
When the magpie heard this, he was a little confused and didn't know how to respond.
She wondered if the young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion had a problem with her brain. Her aunt was the legitimate mistress of Prince An's Mansion and the most beloved youngest daughter in the old lady's heart. Even the prince could not compare to her aunt's status in the old lady's heart.
But how could a mere young lady from the prime minister's family be worthy enough to have her aunt come to greet her in person?
She only thought about this in her heart and didn't dare say it out loud.
