Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 420 Restless

Si He looked at his scrutinizing gaze and lied to him, "I don't understand."

Hearing this, he obviously didn't believe it.

She had no choice but to add, "Because I have a protective amulet given by a master, I'm not afraid of any ghosts or evil spirits."

"Oh?" He was immediately interested when he heard the word "talisman." "Can I see Miss Nine's talisman?"

Si He thought about it and decided to take out the talisman. Otherwise it would be difficult to explain where her confidence came from.

This talisman was the one she carried with her before, and it was a pair with Ning Ji's. However, after her body changed, she rarely wore it.

She took the talisman in her hand, but did not hand it to him for inspection. She could show things to others, but would not let outsiders touch them.

Master Chen stepped forward and took a closer look. His expression grew more serious. After a moment, he asked in surprise, "Is this a talisman made of black spirit wood?"

She smiled faintly, "Master, you have good taste."

But after she finished speaking, she put the talisman away and put it back in her pocket.

Master Chen's gaze seemed somewhat reluctant to leave, and he did not retract his gaze until he could no longer see the talisman. Only then did he understand why she didn't seem to care much after he gave her the talisman paper. It turned out that she had something better.

He looked at the girl in front of him and asked, "I wonder which master gave Miss Nine the amulet?"

Black wood is rare and very precious spiritual wood. It has a very good effect in exorcising evil spirits. It is also hard in texture and can be preserved for a long time. It is difficult to buy on the market and is priceless.

Moreover, the runes on the talisman are carved very well, and the overall craftsmanship is excellent. It is a rare high-quality talisman. In addition, it is obvious that this thing is quite old.

Some things tend to become more valuable as they age, and talismans are one of them, so he was so surprised to see this thing.

Generally speaking, anyone who has this thing will not give it to others easily, and it is rarely bought and sold. Those who know the value of it will keep it for themselves and at most pass it on to close friends, unless there is a large stock.

He asked now with the intention of finding out. If possible, he also wanted to get a talisman made of black wood. Although he had many items for exorcising evil spirits, who in this line of work would complain about having too many good things?

She said, "Master, please forgive me for not wanting to reveal my identity."

He looked a little regretful, but didn't ask any more questions. "If there's a chance, I hope to meet that master."

She said: "If there is destiny, we will meet each other."

Master Chen smiled and said, "Miss Nine is truly a special person."

Hearing this, she smiled faintly and said nothing more.

"In that case, since there is nothing unusual here, I will report to the old lady first. If the young lady finds anything unusual, please send a servant to pass it on."

"it is good."

So Master Chen asked the guards outside to come in and carry the body out.

They were a little surprised to hear that there was no evil spirit here. After all, Mrs. Guo and the others had said it so confidently before, and many people had seen it.

However, since Master Chen said so, they could only do as he said. Besides, the attitudes of Miss Nine and others also showed that everything was fine here. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding?

The housekeeper led his men out of the yard.

The servants in the yard also breathed a sigh of relief, and then dispersed to get busy cleaning the house.

Si He stood at the door, watching the backs of those people leaving, hoping that things would be quieter in the future.

However, due to what happened today, no more rules were taught in the afternoon. This matter spread to the entire Guo family, and everyone avoided Xiangxueyuan, even though the master had said that there was no problem here.

The old lady and others did not summon her, nor did they offer to change her residence. From this, it can be seen that the old lady's attitude towards her has changed again.

Si He didn't care about this.

However, the next day, Nanny Liu came over to continue teaching her the rules.

After that, the days passed peacefully, and Mrs. Guo never came to cause trouble again.

Now, the wedding date has been set, two months later, and the three books and six ceremonies are proceeding smoothly. In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

During this month, Si He mostly stayed in Xiangxueyuan to learn the rules, and sometimes followed the embroiderer to learn embroidery. Her daily schedule was fully scheduled. She originally wanted to go out, but because the servants were watching her closely, she had to give up.

Now, there is still a month before the wedding, and the Guo family is still calm. It is precisely because of this that she is on high alert.

Sure enough, she soon discovered something was wrong.

In recent days, the dishes have changed a bit. It is said that at the old lady's request, more medicinal food was made to nourish her body. Although it is still rich, there is more or less some medicinal taste in the dishes.

After all, she had been diagnosed by the doctor as having a cold constitution and needed to nourish her body more.

Therefore, her meals included more medicinal food, and she would even be given a bowl of carefully prepared tonic. Even Aunt Deng had someone send her prescriptions and some supplements to nourish her body.

There was nothing wrong with these things at the beginning, and before every meal, she would test for poison with a needle and ask the maid who delivered the meals to taste the food. Only after confirming that there was no problem would she eat.

Of course, she didn't drink any of the tonics. She always used the excuse of being too hot to put them aside. After everyone left, she would pour out all the tonics.

As for medicinal food, she seldom eats it, only taking a bite occasionally at most, even though she knows there is nothing wrong with it.

It was the same today, but she looked at the dishes on the table and could tell something was wrong without even trying them.

Although every dish is non-toxic, some are incompatible with each other. Although the effect is not too great or even not obvious, eating them in this way for a long time will have a certain impact on the body.

If she had not studied pharmacology with Ning Ji before, she would not have been able to see it so easily.

However, she watched the maid taste the dishes calmly. The maid seemed to know nothing about this and tasted every dish. From her expression, there was nothing unusual.

After tasting the dishes, Si He picked up her chopsticks and ate in silence, avoiding foods that conflicted with her food.

Although she is a living dead, some drugs now have little effect on her. Even if she takes them, it won't be a big problem, but she will not take them if she can avoid it.

While she was eating, she glanced at the maids serving around her without leaving a trace, and indeed found two of them with evasive eyes. Such people might just be following her, but considering the problem with the dishes, it was not simple following.

Sure enough, he is still restless.

She withdrew her gaze, as if she had not noticed anything unusual, and ate in silence.

After she finished her meal, the servant outside announced that Aunt Deng and Guo Jiayan were coming.

They had been coming quite often these days, but most of the time, Si He found excuses to get rid of them. Aunt Deng either left a prescription or some tonic, and she seemed very concerned about her.

Si He thought about it and decided to meet him.
