Lord Chu's Wife Is Wild Chapter 267 - Prayer Beads

Chapter 267: Prayer Beads

Fu Yiyi was pulled aside by Mdm Fu to sit down.

She looked at Chu Sihan aggrievedly and saw that he was peeling chestnuts for the Matriarch with his head lowered. He wasn’t looking at her at all.

Instantly, Fu Yiyi felt even more aggrieved. She looked angrily at Lu Sheng.

She was about to speak when she heard Fu Sisi say that Lu Sheng had prepared a gift for the Matriarch.

She had nowhere to vent her anger. When she heard this, she immediately said sarcastically, “I heard that Miss Lu lives in the countryside. Could it be that you gave her pickles?”

Mdm Fu stiffened. She had never thought Fu Yiyi to be so stupid.

She stole a glance at the Matriarch and saw her expression darken.

Fu Lei’s expression was not any better. In the past, although Fu Yiyi was wilful, she would consider the occasion. Why was she being silly again today?

“Uh… Miss Lu, don’t mind her. Yiyi was just joking with you.”

It was only then that Mdm Fu could see Lu Sheng’s face clearly.

The girl was born with bright eyes and white teeth. She had fair skin and jade-like bones. Her red lips were slightly curved as she sat there silently. She was like a gentle mountain stream, beautiful and refined.

Mdm Fu had seen many ladies from prestigious families. Compared to them, this girl’s aura was simply too much.

How was she a country b.u.mpkin? She was clearly a flawless piece of jade.

It was no wonder that the indifferent Chu Sihan would be attracted to her.

“It’s alright.”

Lu Sheng was not angry. Instead, she took out the box and stood up. She walked in front of Matriarch Fu and smiled.

“I heard from Sihan that the Matriarch likes to pay her respects to Buddha. Lu Sheng suddenly remembered that she once obtained a string of beads by chance. I hope the Matriarch will like them.”

Fu Yiyi pouted and mumbled, “It must be something embarra.s.sing.”

“Shut up.”

Mdm Fu scolded in a low voice. “If you dare to spout nonsense again, even I can’t save you.”

Fu Yiyi recalled that Matriarch Fu had recently gotten someone to take a look at her and her expression froze.

Matriarch Fu received it with a smile. “Shenger is so thoughtful!”

As she spoke, she wanted to pa.s.s it to the nanny behind her. However, Fu Sisi said, “Grandmother, open it quickly and let some people who only have eyes for pickled vegetables take a look what’s inside.”

Fu Sisi imitated Fu Yiyi and spoke sarcastically.

Matriarch Fu’s original intention was not to embarra.s.s Lu Sheng. Seeing how her granddaughter had asked her to open it, she suddenly became curious about the items inside.

She subconsciously looked at Chu Sihan, only to see him nod his head with a faint smile.

Matriarch Fu looked at Lu Sheng and smiled kindly. “In that case, I have to take a good look!”

She had lived for more than half her life and the best prayer beads she had seen were the ones Fu Lei had gotten from the State Minister.

It was the string she was holding in her hands now.

However, when she opened the box and saw the beads inside, she was shocked.

“Huh ~” Fu Sisi exclaimed as she stood up. “It actually glows!”

She did not notice it during the day.

Fu Lei, who had always been calm, was shocked.

He stood up and walked forward, losing his composure. He said in a low voice, “Could this be the relic the Third Prince and the State Minister mentioned?”

“It’s the relic.”

The silent Chu Sihan finally spoke his first sentence.

Fu Lei looked at Lu Sheng and asked, “This thing is so precious. Where did Miss Lu get it from?”

Lu Sheng replied generously, “To be honest, this was given to me by my master. It’s said that it can ward off evil and protect one’s safety. That’s why I’m presenting Buddha with offered flowers. I’ve embarra.s.sed myself in front of the Prime Minister and the Matriarch.”

“May I know who Miss Lu’s master is?”

Fu Lei asked curiously.
