Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2256 - 2192: Protected by the Peace Charm

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Chiang Xiao's father, Ah Liu, revealed he would be leaving the next day, prompting Chiang Xiao to express worry for his safety. She insisted that Sun Han, a bodyguard, accompany Ah Liu, despite his assurances of ample protection. After some playful resistance, Ah Liu agreed, and in turn, worried about Chiang Xiao being alone, ensuring she would have bodyguards stay overnight.

She gathered Ah Liu’s shirts and coats, carefully using her Magic Brush to sketch a Peace Talisman onto a hidden inner section of every single garment.

Fear of exposure didn't cross her mind. Why should she worry?

If these Peace Talismans functioned as intended and protected Ah Liu from a fatal catastrophe, then any risk of being found out was a price she was willing to pay.

However, if no danger arose and the Peace Talismans weren't triggered, then no explanation would ever be required.

Regardless of the circumstances, ensuring Ah Liu’s safety remained her absolute priority.

Once the clothing was finished, she crafted one more Peace Talisman and tucked it inside a Jade Bead. She then threaded it onto a black cord, creating a bracelet for Ah Liu to wear.

"Little, won’t it look a bit feminine for your Dad to be wearing this?" Even though Ah Liu felt a natural resistance toward wearing jewelry on his wrist, he still gave in and stretched out his arm, permitting Chiang Xiao to fasten the bracelet around his wrist.

"How could this be considered feminine?" Chiang Xiao replied as she tied the knot, giving the string a firm tug to ensure it wouldn't fall off. "Look, it’s just a single Jade Bead on a black string; there's nothing girly about it. Actually, I think it looks quite handsome on you."

"Fine, as long as you think it looks good, I'll wear it."

When faced with his precious daughter, the Sixth Young Master Jiang possessed no will to resist.

With the most critical protections arranged, Chiang Xiao moved on to the next task: brewing Potion.

"Dad, I’m going to prepare several bottles of Potion for you, exactly like the ones you drink here at home. You must make sure to drink at least one bottle every single day. Furthermore, you have to keep these Potions hidden; only you are allowed to drink them, and don't let anyone else handle them. Do you remember what happened to Grandpa before?"

"Dad remembers," Ah Liu replied. After a moment of thought, he inquired: "Is your Grandpa allowed to drink them too?"

He was well aware that the Potions Chiang Xiao brewed were extraordinary treasures.

Chiang Xiao pondered the request for a second before nodding her head.

"That's fine. I will prepare an extra supply and have Sun Han deliver them straight to Grandpa Chen for protection. Whatever you do, don't let anyone from the Jiang Family hold onto them. As of now, we can't distinguish friend from foe, so being cautious is mandatory."

"Understood, I'll do as you say."

"Also, you must never be alone. Regardless of the reason or the situation, you aren't allowed to wander off by yourself, okay?"

"I've got it."

No matter what instructions she gave, the Sixth Young Master agreed immediately, behaving like a highly disciplined child.

It appeared as though their familial roles had flipped. Ordinarily, a father would be the one lecturing his daughter on safety, but Chiang Xiao was too preoccupied to notice. She was entirely focused on identifying every possible risk and offering meticulous advice.

To her, the Jiang Family residence was no different than a tiger’s den.

The more she contemplated the situation, the more she felt it was fraught with peril.

"And Dad, you have to remember to call me. Every night between 8 and 9 PM, unless something major happens, I'll be waiting by the phone for you."

Ah Liu couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle at her words.

"But aren't you supposed to be in Anbu Town the night after tomorrow? Should I be calling you there instead?"

Chiang Xiao’s face instantly flushed a deep red.

"Dad!"

Was he actually teasing her?

Yet, she couldn't deny that she was scheduled to be in Anbu Town by then.

She was uncertain about the current state of affairs at Tyrant Meng’s location, and she felt she had to go see for herself. Only by understanding the situation firsthand would her heart truly be at peace.

"You really should go visit him," Ah Liu said, his tone turning sincere. "Xinian’s training is usually quite grueling. If you show up to see him, it will make him incredibly happy."

"Dad, why do I get the feeling that you're being unusually nice to Tyrant Meng?"
