Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 271 Qingquan Temple

For two consecutive days, the weather was like a spoiled noble lady in a mansion with a deep gate. After she lost her temper and made a few heavy rains, the air was as clear as washing.

The news that Shen Zhan left Yuzhou reached Ye Lingwu's ears.

She flicked her hand while opening the account book, and said without hearing anything: "Uncle Yu, you can accompany me to the major clothing stores in two days."

Uncle Yu didn't expect Ye Lingwu to react like this, and said with a sneer, "Yes. By the way, big girl, the list of selected stewards has come out. Do you want to have a look?"

Ye Lingwu thought for a while, and said: "Whether you are competent or not needs to pass the assessment first. After the assessment is over, it will not be too late for me to see."

Uncle Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Miss, no one has been interested in this Ziluobu shop since it reopened, but after the vegetarian feast yesterday, the cloth shop received more orders this morning. The big bosses here are really saving face."

Ye Lingwu slowly lowered her eyes.

It's for saving face.

But what they gave was only Shen Zhan's face.

As for her, she owed Shen Zhan another favor.

How to repay this favor, how to repay, how to repay it?
she does not know……

A few days passed, and Ziluobuzhuang's business was slowly getting back on track. A few days ago, Mrs. Shen sent a letter urging Ye Lingwu and Jiang Yuan to return to Beijing as soon as possible. She wanted to hold a banquet in Jinghe Hall to celebrate the marriage.

However, the matter of the Ye family has not been dealt with completely, and the return to Beijing has to be postponed, but Jiang Yuan, as an important minister in the court, can't stay any longer, according to her words, the days of rare leisure are coming to an end.

It was cold in March, and before Ye Lingwu left Yuzhou, Ye's family went to Qingquan Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.

There is a big lake behind the main hall. Ye Lingwu led Yuantao and Qingju to walk slowly. She didn't want to come to this sad place today, but Liu Yuping insisted on bringing the whole family to come together, still under the name of Ye Huaisheng.

Everyone thought that they had indeed neglected the funeral affairs last month, so they agreed.

Ye Lingwu and Ye Jinxiao came out after simply burning the incense, while Liu Yuping and Gu stayed in the main hall to chant sutras.

It was windy outside, so the bhikkhuni found a clean and elegant small room, and invited the two girls to have tea and wait.

Ye Jinxiao sipped a few sips of tea, looked at the humble room, and said provocatively, "Big sister hasn't been to Qingquan Temple for a long time, why don't you visit the old place now that you're here?"

Ye Lingwu paused, then slowly put down the tea bowl in her hand and said, "What's so interesting about it."

"It's nothing to see, but after all, big sister lived here for a while, didn't she feel touched when she returned to her hometown?" Ye Jinxiao said sarcastically. She knew that Ye Lingwu had a difficult time in Qingquan Temple when she was a child, but she deliberately exposed her. old scars.

Ye Lingwu gave her a cold look, got up and left.

Seeing people leave, Ye Jinxiao winked at Xiaoqu.

Xiao Qu looked dignified, hesitatingly said: "Second Miss..."

"Go!" Ye Jinxiao interrupted.

Xiao Qu pursed her lips and hurriedly followed out of the house.

Qingquan Temple has never had many people come to burn incense. It’s not that the temple is small or ineffective, but that the people in Yuzhou put business first, and most of them are merchants. Compared with burning incense at Qingquan Temple to pray for safety, more people will go to Lingshun Temple Pray for prosperity and prosperity.

Wealth is above everything else.

Yuan Tao looked around and said, "Miss, when are we going back? It looks so cold here. Madam is probably looking for you too. Didn't you pray for the passing lord today?"

Ye Lingwu remained silent, looking up the old moss-covered stone steps leading to the top of the mountain. Suddenly, she seemed to see a commoner girl struggling to climb the mountain with a bucket, her heart sank, and she felt a sudden loss. stand up.

At that time, she often wondered, would she survive tomorrow?
After surviving, will her father come to pick her up and go home?
After she returns home, she must restrain her temper, get rid of her bad temper, and obediently not mess with Liu Yuping.

"...Pray for him." Ye Lingwu let out a cold sigh, and slowly lowered her eyes.He is not worthy!

The three master and servant continued to walk along the path around the mountain, and they were approaching the lake in a short time. At this moment, they heard movement from the path behind them.

Ye Lingwu looked for the sound, and saw two clothed men walking towards this side, two-thirds of their faces were covered by beards, and they looked fierce.

The two little girls, Yuan Tao and Qingju, trembled in fright when they saw each other.

"Big girl, let's go back." Yuan Tao said unsteadily.

Ye Lingwu frowned, the two people didn't look like they came to the temple to pray for blessings, they seemed to have no purpose, but their intuition told Ye Lingwu that they came for them.

"Changing the road, don't go back by that path." Ye Lingwu led Yuan Tao Qingju to another relatively remote path from memory.

It is also possible to circle back to the main hall from this path.

The stone steps on the trail looked old, but fortunately it hadn't rained these days, otherwise the mossy road would be impossible to walk.

The movement behind him didn't stop, and Ye Lingwu was even more sure that those two people were coming towards her. As for the purpose... probably had something to do with Liu Yuping.

The deeper the trail went, the more desolate it became. The withered and yellow grass on both sides was more than half a head taller than the girl's height.

Ye Lingwu stopped and looked up at the withered and yellowed weeds on both sides. She reacted quickly and pulled the two little girls to hide in the weeds.

"Shut up." Ye Lingwu shouted in a deep voice.

The footsteps were getting closer.

"Damn, where did those three dead girls go?"

"They run pretty fast."

"Hurry up and look for them. They must not have gone far. If we miss and don't kill them this time, we may not get the money."

The man's voice from the other side of the path was very rough and loud.

Yuan Tao Qingju trembled all over when she heard the word "kill". The two of them never expected that when they came to Qingquan Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, they would run into bandits.

And Ye Lingwu's face didn't look much better. Logically speaking, Liu Yuping wouldn't be so stupid to find someone to kill her directly, especially if she missed and couldn't turn around.

I don't know how long it took, but the movement didn't stop. The two thieves seemed to have some experience. They noticed that the place where Ye Lingwu's movement disappeared was this section of the path overgrown with grass, so they kept searching around this section of the path.

"What should we do, big girl, they haven't left, and we can't escape." Yuan Tao's voice was trembling with anxiety.

Ye Lingwu thought for a while, looked at the bottomless blue lake through the wild grass, pondered for a moment and said: "Take off your coat, swim to the other side and go back."

"But it's such a cold day, I'm afraid my body won't be able to bear it if I swim there." Qingju hesitated, this lake is freshly melted snow water, it's strange that swimming can't catch the wind and cold.

"Those two people will find them soon. If you swim there, you will find the path back to the main hall. If you don't swim there, you will have to wait here to die." Ye Lingwu frowned.

Qingju bit her lip.
