Chapter 121: You Are My Sister Now

The man let go of the straw puppet in his hand and closed the door.

He rushed over and embraced the person.

Lu Yanyan, under the influence of the puppet charm, was completely unconscious, unable to evade or resist.

The man eagerly kissed her neck and licked his lips, saying, "Indeed, the young miss is extraordinary, with such smooth and tender skin."

Despite this, Lu Yanyan showed no reaction.

She was like a puppet, being manipulated by others.

The man chuckled and brought her to the edge of the bed.

Excitedly rubbing his hands together, he was about to undo Lu Yanyan’s clothing.

Crack!

The wooden door suddenly kicked open.

The man was startled and tried to escape through the window, but the Black Armored Guards were too quick for him.

The guards restrained him.

Qing Feng and Nanli arrived shortly after, surprised to see the person in the room.

It turned out to be someone they knew.

"Miss Chu, what happened to her?" Qing Feng waved his hand and realized that Lu Yanyan showed no response.

"She’s been affected by a puppet charm," Nanli said, joining her fingers together and dispelling the invisible puppet charm.

Instantly, Lu Yanyan regained her senses.

Her mind was a bit muddled as she looked around and was startled.

"What’s going on?" She saw Nanli and immediately became angry.

"What have you done to me? Even if I made mistakes before, I’ve already spent two days in the Court of Dali. Why are you still so petty?!"

Nanli replied impatiently, "I’m not that petty."

"Miss Lu, you were under the control of a puppet charm and brought to this inn room. Thanks to our future princess, who used her Daoist arts to locate you, otherwise today..." Qing Feng paused intentionally, "your chastity might not have been preserved."

Lu Yanyan, feeling skeptical since she had no memory, said, "I... I don’t believe it! It must be you, Chu Nanli, deliberately playing tricks on me!"

Nanli gave her a disdainful look and walked past her to the man.

Seeing his appearance, she knew she had caught the right person.

With a cold expression, she asked, "Did you draw the charm yourself, or did you buy it from someone?"

The man initially didn’t want to answer, but the Black Armored Guards’ methods were quite formidable.

With a slight exertion of force, he cried out in pain.

"Don’t... I stole the charm!"

It turned out that the man had previously invited a junior Taoist to exorcise spirits at his home.

Intrigued, he asked the junior Taoist about the uses of various charms.

When he heard about the puppet charm, he immediately became tempted.

Although he had some family wealth, his mother was a formidable figure, making it impossible for him to take concubines.

So, while he was out conducting business, he decided to try out the puppet charm.

He specifically chose unmarried women from the Yun family, knowing that even if something happened to them, they wouldn’t dare speak up for the sake of their family’s reputation.

This time, he became bolder and wanted to taste the Princess’s flavor.

Little did he know that he had become the target.

Finally, trembling, he asked, "I... I’ve only... been intimate with a few girls. It won’t lead to beheading, right? At most... at most, I’ll marry them and treat them well in the future."

Qing Feng kicked him, saying, "You despicable scoundrel! Hui’er was driven to hang herself because of you. Not only will you be beheaded, but you’ll also be publicly displayed!"

The man was terrified, trembling all over, begging for mercy.

Qing Feng waved his hand, and the Black Armored Guards gagged his mouth, dragging him to the Court of Dali.

Nanli patted the pouch at her waist and said, "Hui’er, your revenge has been avenged. You can rest in peace now."

Hui’er’s voice came from the pouch, "Miss Chu, thank you very much. But I still want to go back home and see my parents the last time."

She had originally planned to reveal herself and strangle the man to death.

However, Nanli had previously warned her not to touch human blood, as it would make it more difficult for her to reincarnate in the underworld.

Fortunately, she encountered Nanli, who could help her seek justice and ensure that the evildoer received his due punishment.

"Alright, I’ll take you back later," Nanli said.

She glanced at Lu Yanyan and took out a veil she had prepared earlier.

"Put this on."

By now, Lu Yanyan understood what was happening.

With the appearance of the Black Armored Guards at the inn, there were likely many onlookers.

Nanli was protecting her reputation.

For a moment, she didn’t know how to feel.

Nanli grew impatient.

"Do you want me to help you put it on?"

"No, it’s not that," Lu Yanyan replied, taking the veil.

She pinched it and lowered her gaze.

"I just didn’t expect that you would be willing to help me."

Nanli said, "If I had known it was you, I would have preferred to appear later."

With that, she turned and walked away.

Lu Yanyan hastily donned her hood and caught up with Nanli’s footsteps: "I don’t care, you have appeared just in time to save me."

"What’s this? Do you still wish to repay kindness with enmity?" Nanli replied.

"Am I that kind of person? You saved me today, and from now on, you are my dear sister!" Lu Yanyan declared.

Her tone seemed to imply that Nanli should be grateful to her.

The two had already left the inn.

Nanli mounted her horse gracefully and looked at Lu Yanyan with mixed feelings: "I’m sorry, but I don’t wish to be your dear sister."

Lu Yanyan watched her depart, stomping her foot in anger.

But she was not one to easily give up.

Upon returning to the Prime Minister’s residence, she immediately ordered someone to bring out the treasures from the storage room.

Many of the items were a pair.

She then had one of them carefully wrapped and sent it to Nanli.

The maidservant was shocked and thought she had misheard, "Miss, is it the Sixth Miss of the Anyang Marquis’s residence?"

"That’s right," Lu Yanyan nodded, then waved her hand dismissively, "Forget it, forget it. Since you all are so slow-witted, I’ll go myself."

The maidservant was speechless.

Miss, if you go personally, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to cross the threshold of the Anyang Marquis’s residence.

As the maidservant had predicted, Chu Hanlin and Lady Shen had already given orders to block Lu Yanyan outside as soon as she arrived.

Lu Yanyan was infuriated, "I came to deliver a gift to Nanli, and today, we have already become sworn sisters!"

Coincidentally, Chu Shuo was about to leave when he heard this.

He came over to size up Lu Yanyan and spat, "Surprising! So it’s you, Lu Yanyan. You really know how to flatter yourself. My sixth sister is not a fool, how could she become sworn sisters with you!"

Lu Yanyan said, "I have even prepared the gifts. Take a look, they are all top-notch items that money can’t buy. Your sister will definitely agree."

With a wave of her hand, her servants opened the boxes one by one, allowing Chu Shuo to feast his eyes.

Chu Shuo chuckled, "So it hasn’t been settled yet. I knew my sister wouldn’t have such poor taste."

He looked around with his hands behind his back and shook his head lightly, "Is this it? You seem to have no idea what truly priceless items are. Come on, bring them all out!"

With the young master’s command, the servants dared not disobey.

The largest storage room in the entire residence was located in the young master’s courtyard.

Besides being wealthy, the young master also possessed countless invaluable treasures!
