Since Lu Chen had learned Puppetry Technique, he had been practicing controlling puppets every single day and had reached the point of obsession.
He even had a craftsman carve several palm-sized puppets and distributed one to each of his wives and concubines so that they could use these puppets to contact him if they had any issues.
However, Lu Chen's gifting of puppets made Chu Yuqin feel very uneasy.
One night, Lu Chen came to Chu Yuqin's room, and after an intense exchange between them, Chu Yuqin expressed her concerns.
"Chen'er, you are still alive, yet you've made so many puppets that look exactly like yourself. Is that really appropriate?"
In the Great Xia Dynasty, "not making statues of the living" and "not erecting steles for the alive" was common knowledge, let alone these wooden "small people." Whenever "small people" were mentioned, people would first think of straw effigies.
