Chapter 18: Buddhist Bead Bracelet
"Miss." Bai Lan knocked lightly on the door and walked in. "The hot water is ready."
Song Yu closed the book and went to the bathroom.
"Miss, please stop reading after you've finished bathing. Tomorrow, when Madam learns you've returned, she'll definitely bring the Master to see you. I wonder what goodies the Master will bring back for you this time."
Song Yu smiled knowingly, her father loved her the most.
Every time he came back from Yancheng, he would bring back a lot of things she liked.
In her previous life, when she rushed to the capital, her belongings alone filled two large carts, which were divided among the Song and Wu families.
So angry!
"Miss, why are you still angry? Did I say something wrong?" Bai Lan stared at Song Yu's face with a puzzled look.
Song Yu: "...I was walking so fast, and it was so hot, I felt stuffy in my chest and a little breathless."
"Miss, please take off your clothes quickly and take a bath." Bai Lan said as she started to take off Song Yu's clothes.
"I can do it myself. Please open the window wider."
"Oh, okay."
Song Yu was a little annoyed. He had been resurrected for several days, but he still couldn't hide his good mood.
There was no way she wouldn't go back to the village and meet Chen Chunhua and the others.
It would be bad if the true feelings in your heart were exposed.
"Lan'er, you can go out and keep watch. You don't need to wait on me. Tomorrow, go find a small, clear bronze mirror with the manor manager."
What do you need a small bronze mirror for? There's a large floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror in the bedroom.
Bai Lan opened her mouth to ask, but then decided she shouldn't. "Yes, miss."
Song Yu slowly took off layers of clothes.
When she was only wearing a bellyband, she realized that her left wrist was bare. "Lan'er, was I wearing a bracelet just now?"
"Huh?" Bai Lan was stunned. "I didn't notice. Let me look for it."
Bai Lan looked around but couldn't find any trace of the bracelet. "It's not here. Maybe it fell in the study?"
Song Yu had no recollection of it either. "Go look in the study."
"Sister Caiyun, please keep an eye on it. I'll be back soon."
Caiyun nodded, "Go ahead."
Behind the screen, in the bathtub covered with rose petals, Song Yu leaned against the bathtub with her eyes slightly closed, and the image of the Buddhist beads bracelet was in her mind.
This bracelet was a gift from her master, Master Shanhui. After being blessed by chanting scriptures, it can bring good luck and avoid misfortune.
The master also specifically told her not to take it off and to wear it every day.
Thinking of this, Song Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
She remembered that this bracelet in her previous life had been lost somewhere in the past few days.
Then the three of them died in an accident.
Caiyun walked in upon hearing the voice, "Miss, are you feeling unwell? Let me give you a massage."
"good."
Under Caiyun's perfect massage, Song Yu's panic did not subside, but became even more intense.
A quarter of an hour later, Bai Lan came back.
"Miss, the bracelet isn't in the study. I checked the bedroom but didn't find it either. Could it have fallen on the way back?"
"Did you look in the carriage?"
"No...I will go find it right away."
Song Yu no longer had the heart to take a bath. He quickly finished his bath, got dressed, and went to the stable.
"Miss, why did you come out?"
At this time, Asi held a torch and led several servants of the Hot Spring Villa to conduct a carpet search of the stable.
"Have they found it?"
"not yet."
Half an hour later, Asi and his men searched every path Song Yu took to enter the hot spring villa, but found nothing.
It seems that if I live my life again, what is supposed to happen will still happen.
"Lan'er, tell Ah Si and the others not to look for it anymore."
Now that she is reborn, how can she lose her mind because of a bracelet that can bring good luck and ward off evil?
She has seized the initiative, but can't she change the fate of their family of three?
What's more, she is not alone, she still has parents.

"Ming En, you're awake."
Seeing that it was already bright outside, Song Mingen immediately sat up from the bed and asked, "What time is it now?"
Seeing that he was obviously in better spirits than yesterday, Jiang Yunwan raised the corners of her mouth unconsciously, "It's not even 9 o'clock yet, come and have dinner."
He actually got up so late!
Song Mingen quickly got out of bed to wash and change clothes. His eyes quickly noticed the incense burner on the table, and he understood. "After dinner, we'll go to the hot spring villa. When Sister Yu comes out of seclusion, we'll return to the village."
"A message came in early this morning from the Hot Spring Villa, saying that our sister Yu has come out of seclusion."
"A Feng, go get the car ready and take all the gifts I prepared for Sister Yu."
"yes."
After giving the instructions, Song Mingen sat down and started eating quickly.
"Take your time, there's no rush."
"If we don't hurry up, it will be noon soon." Song Mingen put down his chopsticks and said, "Don't eat too much. Save some space to go to the hot spring villa and have lunch with Sister Yu."
Jiang Yunwan smiled and said, "You'd better finish eating. Sister Yu doesn't want you to go hungry."
"If you don't tell Sister Yu, she won't know. Anyway, I want to save my stomach to eat a few more bowls of rice with Sister Yu."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say."
A quarter of an hour later, just as the couple stepped out of the East Courtyard, Cui Liu, Chen Chunhua's maid, came to greet them, "Greetings, Master and Madam."
"No need to be polite."
Cui Liu straightened up after thanking him and said, "Master, the old lady wants you to come over."
Song Mingen remembered that he hadn't gone to pay his respects yet, "Wanwan, shall we go together?"
"good."
Jiang Yunwan didn't need to guess, Chen Chunhua asked them to go over probably because Mingen wanted to pay for most of the drinks.
When I arrived at Chen Chunhua's room, I only saw Cui but not Song Minglang.
After Song Mingen paid his respects to Chen Chunhua, he said, "Mother, Wanwan and I are going to the temple today to have Master Shanhui examine my wound."
Chen Chunhua's eyes lit up, "Master Shanhui's medical skills may be able to restore your right hand to its original state."
Ming En still needs to take care of his arm so that he can continue to work as a lawyer and bring money home.
Ming'en didn't bring the money back, and she always felt like something was missing.
Cui frowned. Now that her eldest brother's arm has healed, doesn't that mean Minglang has no chance of becoming the village chief?
How long will it take before I can take charge of the village’s business?
"Thanks to your mother's good wishes, if my son's right hand recovers as before, I can continue to work as a lawyer and find other jobs to earn more money to honor you."
Chen Chunhua was delighted, but she didn't show it on her face. "Mother knows you're filial. Being a lawyer is a thankless job, and it's easy to offend people. Village work is busy enough. Regardless of whether your right hand can recover as before, you should take this time to stay at home and take good care of it."
"Wushuang Temple is a great place for health and tranquility. Wanwan and I will stay in the temple for a few days and then bring Sister Yu back with us."
Chen Chunhua glanced at Jiang Yunwan. She was responsible for the daily expenses of the family. She ran away to have some peace and quiet. Did she have to pay for the daily expenses?
"Wushuang Temple is a quiet Buddhist temple after all. It's not suitable for long-term stay. Bring Sister Yu back tomorrow. I miss her."
"Okay, mother. If everything is alright, we'll go to the temple right away."
Chen Chunhua said, "It's nothing serious. You, the Song family, are the most capable. We can't delay in buying Rui'er a property in Beijing. Minglang can't afford to pay for the Wen family's wine and drinks right now. Can you think of a compromise?"
"There's no need to rush Rui'er to buy property in Beijing. My son heard that if he wins the first place in the imperial examination, the current emperor will grant him a mansion. With Rui'er's talent, he might win the first place in the imperial examination in the future. Not only will he have a mansion granted by the emperor, but he will also be chosen as a son-in-law by the powerful and influential people in Beijing. We don't need to worry too much. Rui'er will naturally have a bright future and a smooth life."
Cui was delighted, "Brother, you've won the first place in the imperial examination. Will the emperor really grant you a palace?"
Song Mingen nodded. "It shouldn't be fake. You can write to my brother-in-law and ask him. As for the Wen family's wine and drinks, there's no other way. I've paid Wen Can the rest of the profits from my shops for the past six months, leaving behind the share for household expenses and mother. I can ask Wen Can to ask his uncle to give him more time... Rui Ge'er must pay it off before next year's provincial examination."
After Song Mingen finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Yunwan away.
"Mom, what should we do? Do we really have to pay it off all at once? What about Rui Ge?"
