Chapter 134: Lucky Jade Amulet (1)

This chapter has been stolen from volarenovels. Please read from the original source!

Xiyan quickly brought out a wooden case from one side. Third Young Madam, the accessories you were wearing this morning are all here. As for your clothes, the princesss senior servant said that they were stained with bad luck, so they were burned together with the royal princess clothes in the braziers.

Chu Lian nodded and took the wooden case from Xiyans hands. Xiyan had only been injured on her elbows and legs. The rest of her body was completely fine.

She opened the case and rummaged through its contents. Chu Lians expression instantly darkened. She searched once again; all the accessories she had been wearing were still there, except for that lucky jade amulet!

Xiyan, when you were putting my things away, did you see that jade amulet I was carrying at my waist this morning?

Xiyan was also extremely tired and tense. When she heard Chu Lians words, her face immediately turned pale. She looked into the wooden case and recalled that Third Young Madam had indeed been wearing a jade amulet this morning. However, now it wasnt in the case.

Third Young Madam, when this servant was putting away the accessories, this servant didnt didnt see the jade amulet at all

What!

Chu Lian collapsed against the side of the carriage, the events from the original story continuously flashing through her mind.

That lucky jade amulet had been gifted by Matriarch He during the tea ceremony. Later on, Chu Lian had given it to Xiao Bojian during one of their clandestine meetings as a token of their love.

Xiao Bojian had worn the amulet at his waist every day after that. Of course, He Changdi coincidentally caught sight of it and quarrelled with Chu Lian when he got home.

However, Chu Lian had completely ignored He Changdis anger. She had also been brazen to the point of meeting Xiao Bojian in front of He Changdis very nose.

Chu Lian felt a headache coming on. Xiao Bojian couldnt possibly have picked up the jade amulet that she lost by accident, right? If that really happened, she wouldnt be able to wash her sins away even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

However, thinking back to the events at Defeng Teahouse and recalling the distance she had run to avoid the assassins, she had most likely dropped it somewhere along that path. If the city guards picked it up, there might even be a possibility that they would return it to her.

That thought helped Chu Lian calm down a little.

Her mind was a mess right now. However, Xiyan suddenly knelt in front of her with a thump. Third Young Madam, its all this servants fault! This servant failed to take care of your possessions. Please punish this servant!

Chu Lians eyes opened wide in shock. She then sighed and helped Xiyan up. This has nothing to do with you. I was the one who carelessly lost my amulet. You couldnt possibly have kept an eye on my accessories the entire time! Forget it, its just a single jade amulet. Ill ask Royal Princess Duanjia if she has seen it the next time we meet. Perhaps itll turn up somehow!

Xiyan secretly checked Chu Lians expression and found that she really wasnt angry. Her heart was full of guilt, but at the same time, she felt that Third Young Madams temper had gotten much better.

If this had happened when they were back in House Ying and Third Young Madam had lost something, it would have been their fault for not taking care of her things, and they would have been punished severely.

Now that she thought about it, back then, Third Young Madam had been obsessed with riches. However, now she seemed not to care about these material possessions as much. Perhaps Third Young Madam had become more forgiving after marriage?

As she thought along these lines, Xiyan started to sympathize with Third Young Madam.

Chu Lian didnt have the time to care about the direction of Xiyans thoughts. She was near speechless at how she had been able to bump into Xiao Bojian despite all her effort in dodging him. She had a strange feeling that there was some hidden hand guiding all these events along.

Chu Lian pouted in a fit of temper. She was going to be more careful the next time! She refused to believe that she wouldnt be able to dodge that Xiao Bojian!

She didnt want to be involved with that damned Xiao Bojian one bit. Her carefree days were much more important.

Anyone who dared to disrupt her lazy days would be making an enemy out of her!
