Chapter 71 9 Palaces and 8 Trigrams
Shen Xiaxia pointed to the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams card: "I want that one."
Cui Jue looked in the direction of her finger and frowned slightly: "This thing is not very valuable among so many magic weapons. Are you sure you want this?"
Shen Xia Xia nodded affirmatively.
If anything happened to Lu Jingchen, she would not survive. It would be more accurate to say that she was protecting herself rather than protecting Lu Jingchen.
Cui Jue took off the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams card and handed it to Shen Xia Xia, and did not forget to continue to paint a rosy picture for her: "Work hard, there will be many good things waiting for you in the future."
Shen Xia Xia glanced at the thing emitting a lavender glow in the corner, and the corners of her lips curled slightly: "I have already thought about what I want next time."
After visiting the magic treasure house, Shen Xia Xia turned around and went to chat with her old acquaintance Meng Po.
The Lu family's side.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Shen Xia Xia had not returned yet and there was no message. In the past, she would send messages or call back even if she came back late.
Lu Jingchen called her several times, but the calls were all unanswered. There must be no signal from the human world in the underworld.
"This woman is getting wilder and wilder."
Ah Hui frowned: "Why not go to the young lady's studio and take a look."
"Ah."
In the darkness, a silver Rolls-Royce drove towards Shen Xia Xia's studio.
At this moment, there was only a woman in the studio crying her heart out, and there was no sign of Shen Xia Xia at all.
Ah Hui knew this woman. When she came here before, she was the one who tried her best to protect the young lady. She must be a special person for the young lady.
Ah Hui scratched his head, his heart trembling: "She is crying so sadly, could it be that the young lady has died..."
He lowered his head and met Lu Jingchen's gaze, which was as cold as a pond, as if it wanted to sink him to the bottom of the pond.
Ah Hui quickly explained: "The young lady must have gone out to do something."
Shen Xia Xia and Meng Po in the underworld were having a great chat and complaining about their significant other to each other.
Cui Jue, who was standing by, couldn't hold back his anger anymore and reminded her, "It's getting late. You should go back early. Although you came to the underworld by virtue of the order, it's not good to stay there for too long."
Shen Xia Xia looked at her phone and realized it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Quickly let Cui Jue send her back.
Go back to where you came from. Shen Xia Xia returned to the studio again.
Feifei cried until she was hoarse and had no more energy left: "Wuwuwu, Sister Xia Xia, wuwuwu, you're finally back."
Only then did Shen Xia Xia realize that she had left in a hurry and the crying talisman on Feifei's body had not been removed yet.
So he quickly removed the talisman from her body.
Feifei stopped crying then, stood up and drank some water. She had been crying for most of the day and her voice was hoarse.
Feifei said in a hoarse voice: "Lu Jingchen came to see you. He learned that you went out to play and his face was not very good. He was waiting for you in the lounge. You should go back and comfort him quickly, otherwise you will get divorced again."
"I'm not saying anything, Sister Xia Xia, you spent too much time in the underworld..."
Before Feifei could finish her words, Shen Xia Xia hurried into the lounge.
Lu Jingchen was sitting in a wheelchair, and the air pressure around him was extremely low.
His face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out.
Ah Hui walked up to Shen Xia Xia and said, "The young master has been waiting for you for two hours. You should explain it to me."
After speaking, Ah Hui pushed the door open and went out tactfully.
Shen Xia Xia knew that it was her fault this time.
Although she and Lu Jingchen have never consummated their marriage, they are in a serious marriage relationship.
It's not a contractual marriage, nor does it say that both parties will not interfere with each other and can have fun.
As Lu Jingchen's wife, it was unacceptable for her not to go home so late.
Besides, her great helper Feifei also told them that she was out playing.
After thinking about what to say for a while, Shen Xia Xia spoke.
"I met some old friends today and chatted for a while. I forgot the time. I will pay attention next time."
"You don't have to explain, I believe you." Lu Jingchen raised his eyes: "But, if you have anything to say, you have to tell me in advance. The Lu family's curfew is 10 o'clock, and my family will be worried."
Apart from her grandmother, who else in the Lu family would worry about her? Her grandmother went to bed at eight o'clock every day and rarely cared about when other family members returned home.
What this meant was that Lu Jingchen would be worried about her.
Still refuse to admit it.
But it feels really good to be believed and cared for unconditionally.
Shen Xia Xia took out the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams cards from her pocket and handed them to Lu Jingchen.
"This is for you."
Shen Xia Xia knew that Lu Jingchen didn't believe in metaphysics. Even if he accepted such a good thing, he might not know where he would throw it.
The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams plaque is made of Lima copper, and the Manjusri Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams diagram on it is also very grand, and it looks very high-end even if it is made into a pendant.
So he hung the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams card in front of Lu Jingchen: "This is a popular retro pendant nowadays. It is very fashionable and suits your temperament. You must wear it with you."
Lu Jingchen glanced at the pendant in his hand, the corners of his lips slightly curved. This woman really thought he was a fool.
It was such an obvious mantra in Sanskrit, but she still lied to him that it was a vintage pendant.
"Boring." Lu Jingchen said lightly and wanted to throw it away.
Shen Xia Xia took the sign and hung it on Lu Jingchen's wheelchair: "No matter what, it's a token of my love, so you can keep it. Even if you don't want to wear it, you can keep it as a souvenir. It's very expensive."
"If it doesn't work, you can give it to Ah Hui."
This time Lu Jingchen did not resist.
Anyway, Ah Hui follows him almost every day, so protecting Ah Hui is also protecting him.
Shen Xia Xia was already weak, and she also fought with Chong Yao, although he was relatively low in intelligence.
I still urgently need to replenish my spiritual energy.
"It's getting late, let's go home first."
Shen Xia Xia couldn't wait to push Lu Jingchen back to the Lu family.
She didn't want to think about anything tonight. She just wanted to sleep next to Lu Jingchen and have a good rest.
When I woke up in the morning, Lu Jingchen was gone.
I heard from the servants that he went out for a walk.
This man really loves taking walks and goes out for a few hours every day without fail.
It was rare that the studio and the ferryman had no work. Today, Shen Xiaxia wanted to give herself a day off and just lie down at home for a day.
When I went downstairs to eat at noon, a man who looked like a beggar came to the Lu family.
The hair was long and messy, with some unknown objects stuck on it.
His face was black and dirty, and his clothes were tattered and extremely dirty.
Cao Yafang covered her nose and yelled at the servants, "Do you think the Lu family is a market? You let all kinds of cats and dogs in! Get them out now, they are destroying the feng shui of our Lu family."
"Mom, it's me." Lu Jingchuan took a few steps forward: "Lu Jingchuan!"
Seeing her son covered in dust and dirt, Cao Yafang covered her mouth in disbelief.
Lu Jingchuan wiped his face and said, "It's me. Can't you recognize your own son?"
Cao Yafang then saw that it was Lu Jingchuan and touched his face distressedly: "My son, how did you become like this? You must have suffered a lot in the desert!"
Lu Jingchuan had a bitter look on his face: "It was more than suffering, it was simply not a life for a human being. I managed to escape back here because Mingyi Technology was too strict."
"All the packages and luggage I brought were confiscated on the grounds that they were not conducive to project construction. Every day I woke up earlier than the chickens and slept later than the dogs, and there was endless desert all around me."
"I escaped back wearing worker's clothes. I didn't dare to buy plane tickets or high-speed rail tickets because I was under surveillance. As soon as I got on the train, I would be arrested. They said the project had a confidentiality agreement and personnel could not leave without permission."
"I secretly bought a train ticket and made various transfers before I got home."
Cao Yafang held Lu Jingchuan's hand distressedly: "My good son, you must be starving. Come and eat quickly. You have become so thin. Mom is here, who dares to do anything to you!"
Seeing the table full of dishes, Lu Jingchuan's mouth was watering and his butt just hit the ground.
"Lu Jingchuan!"
A deafening sound rang out behind him.
