Second Aunt was really puzzled. She had clearly seen Dongfang Yuechu wearing a Ghost Tooth Talisman at dinner.
Nanny Zhu gave this to her before sending it to Dongfang Yuechu. There was no mistake.
Could it be that she had long known that it was a Ghost Tooth Talisman, so she deliberately wore it for her to see during dinner and then pretended to be dead to deceive her when she returned?
However, Dongfang Yuechu had indeed died back then. How did she come back to life?
Dongfang Yuechu stopped in her tracks and slowly turned back. She smiled faintly and said, “Are you referring to this?”
She took out the amulet and asked Second Aunt with a smile.
“That’s right. You clearly carry it with you. Why are you fine?”
She thought for a long time in prison, but could not figure out what was going on.
Dongfang Yuechu sneered. “This isn’t a Ghost Tooth Talisman. It’s a real amulet. The real Ghost Tooth Talisman has long been taken away by Miss Lu.”
“Miss Lu?”
Second Aunt’s eyes widened. “How did she know these?”
“If Aunt wants to ask Yuechu this, Yuechu doesn’t know either. I only know that on the night Nanny Zhu took back the Ghost Tooth Talisman, Miss Lu swapped it.”
Dongfang Yuechu turned around and asked with a smile, “Aunt, what else do you have to ask?”
Second Aunt pursed her lips tightly and did not speak further.
She thought that her plan was flawless, but did not expect it to be seen through by others.
Dongfang Yuechu sneered and left the prison with Nanny Dan.
After leaving the prison, Nanny Shan mumbled, “Miss, you have to clean yourself up after you go back. Wash away all the bad luck on your body.”
She did not agree with Dongfang Yuechu’s decision to come over, but since she insisted on coming, there was nothing she could do.
The prison was filled with Yin energy and bad luck. It was indeed not suitable for Dongfang Yuechu, who was about to get married, to come over.
“It’s alright.”
Dongfang Yuechu put the amulet back on her waist and boarded the carriage with a calm expression.

Two days later.
Lu Sheng saw Shi Yi and Yun Ting in the bridal escort team.
The leader was a handsome man who resembled Shi Yi.
He was dressed in red and his face was full of smiles. He kept cupping his hands and thanking the citizens who were watching by the roadside.
The servants on the carriage kept scattering wedding sweets and flower petals to the sides.
Lu Sheng reached out and received three sweets that were thrown over.
The child standing beside her was looking up at her enviously.
“Uh… Candy for you?”
Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment before saving one for herself. She passed the remaining two to the child.
“Thank you, Pretty Sister!”
The child received them with sparkling eyes and thanked her happily.
Lu Sheng chuckled. “You’re welcome.”
She peeled the wrapper off the candy and threw it into her mouth. A sweet taste immediately spread in her mouth.
“Miss Lu, the banquet is about to start. Let’s go back.”
Constable Ji entered the crowd and pulled Lu Sheng out.
“Constable Ji, let me walk myself.”
Recently, Chu Sihan had been too jealous. He would slap other people’s mouths or hands for no reason. It was quite bloody.
In order not to harm others, Lu Sheng had been alone in the magistrate court recently. Other than interacting with Nanny Yao occasionally, she was usually alone.
This place was quite far from the capital, so the bridal escort team had to stay here for a day before setting off at midnight.
Outside Dongfang Mansion, Chu Sihan was already waiting.
“Let go of us. This Dongfang Mansion really dares to hold a wedding at this time. Their Second Aunt is about to die from illness.”
Not far away, the guards were holding a few people and shouting at them.
The guests looked over in confusion before whispering to each other.
