I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 54 Xie Jing
But after thinking about it carefully, Xie Fei felt that it was not a bad idea.

There is a Medicine King Temple in Baiyun Temple. She can go there to worship. If she really has the opportunity to open a medicine shop in the future, she will have to ask the God of Wealth and the Medicine King for their support.

Furthermore, the old lady of the Pei family is a Buddhist and probably won’t go to Baiyun Temple, so there’s no chance of meeting her.

So before dawn the next day, Xie Fei put on a veil and Fu Yu followed him, and they went to the city with Mother Liu.

The ox cart only goes to the foot of the mountain, and the rest of the mountain road has to be walked.

It wasn't one of the big days like the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, nor was there a temple fair, but there were still a lot of people going up the mountain to burn incense, men, women, young and old, with their families.

Xie Fei has come to Baiyun Temple neither too often nor too often. In the past ten years or so, he has come at least once or twice a year.

Most of the time, the eldest lady in the family needs someone to copy the "Tao Te Ching" and "Yin Fu Jing", and they also have to kneel in front of the statue for a night, keep the incense, and pray for the Xie family to prosper.

The lady was reluctant to let her daughters suffer, so she asked Xie Fei, an "outsider", to come.

Therefore, Xie Fei did not have a good impression of Baiyun Temple. After all, she copied some scriptures and guarded it overnight, but the real ladies did not seem to protect her too much.

Now she just hopes that the God of Wealth and the King of Medicine can be nicer to her.

It was a long flight of stairs to get up the mountain, but the three of them didn’t take much rest and climbed to the top in one breath.

At the entrance of the main hall, Fu Yu was so tired that he put his hands on his hips and gasped for breath. He waved his hand and asked Mother Liu to take a rest.

Mother Liu asked her to wait here while she went to find the temple priest to get incense and candles.

Xie Fei looked at Mother Liu who was talking calmly to others and found it very interesting.

She and Fu Yu were not pampered rich girls. They had to do many things by themselves in their daily lives. In addition, they often went out to collect herbs in the mountains. Therefore, they were not delicate and climbing mountains was no problem for them.

But Mother Liu is old after all. Even if she has to do farm work, she is in good health and should not climb mountains without taking a breath.

If Xie Fei had not met Xie Yang by chance that day, he would have thought that Mother Liu just did too much rough and heavy work.

But at that time, when the people around Xie Yang wanted to hit Fu Yu, Mother Liu was so agile and strong that it was not like an ordinary peasant woman could handle it.

Looking at the way she talks and her personality, she is definitely not an ordinary person.

Xie Fei was in a trance for nine days, and soon, Mother Liu came back.

"Xie Xiaoniang, which real person do you want to meet?"

Xie Fei said, "I'm going to visit the Medicine King Hall and the God of Wealth Hall. You can go and worship. We'll meet in front of the Heavenly Gate in an hour."

"Yes." Mother Liu gave her some incense and candles.

Fu Yu's face was pale, and her breath was still unsteady. She said, "Miss, you go and worship by yourself. I'll rest for a while."

Xie Fei didn't make things difficult for her and went to Medicine King Hall as if he knew the way.

There were few people in the Medicine King Hall. There was only an old temple keeper wiping the incense table, and two men and women who probably came in by mistake. They took a look and left.

Xie Fei knelt on the cushion, worshipped earnestly, kowtowed a few times, and burned incense respectfully.

Seeing her piousness, the temple keeper said, "Not many people come to the Medicine King Temple. Are you seeking medical treatment, young lady?"

Just as Xie Fei was about to speak, a female voice as clear and cold as a plum blossom in the snow came from behind him.

"She knows medicine, so naturally she will come to worship the King of Medicine."

When Xie Fei heard the familiar voice, he turned around in surprise and found that it was indeed someone he knew.

"Fifth sister, are you back in Beijing?"

Outside the door stood a very beautiful woman.

The girl looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a light-colored dress, but she was otherworldly and beautiful, as if she was a goddess who came from the snow-capped mountains with light makeup. Anyone who saw her would be deeply moved.

But there was no expression on her face, and her eyes were somewhat empty, as if nothing in the world could be reflected in her eyes.

She stepped over the threshold and knelt down on the cushion beside Xie Fei, worshipping the Medicine King with great piety. A cold fragrance slowly lingered in the hall. Xie Jing, the fifth daughter of the Xie family and the most beautiful woman in Shengjing, was cold and noble, like a god.

After burning incense again, she spoke coldly, "People in the mansion said that you married Pei Yuan for me?"

Xie Fei stared at the tall and solemn statue of the Medicine King and murmured, "It's not for you. If I don't marry, it will probably be my seventh sister who will marry."

Xie Jing was engaged, and although the engagement had been canceled, she had been waiting, and even an imperial decree could not force her.

Xie Jing's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he concealed the expression in his eyes and said, "I thought you would rather die than obey."

Xie Fei sighed: "It's easy to say, death is the easiest thing, but after death, there is nothing left."

She had died once, so she cherished life more than anyone else.

If you die, you can no longer see the beautiful mountains and rivers, hear the birds singing and the waves, and you can no longer experience the various things in the world.

Love, hate, and vengeance vanish in the blink of an eye.

After paying homage to the King of Medicine, the two went to the Temple of the God of Wealth.

Xie Fei originally thought that Xie Jing would at least not worship the God of Wealth, but such a cold and noble person like her actually did not even let the God of Wealth go.

After bowing, Xie Fei turned his head and saw Xie Jing still with his hands clasped together, praying respectfully and sadly.

Xie Fei wondered aimlessly, what was she praying for?
Pray to the God of Wealth to bless that person to make a fortune in the underworld?
"Are you still the same as before, paying respect to all the gods in Baiyun Temple every time you return to the capital?"

Xie Jing closed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Lingguan Temple, Sanqing Temple, Yuhuang Temple, Jiuku Temple, I have worshipped them all."

Such urgent and fervent prayers could not be heard by any god.

Xie Fei calculated the time and it was almost time to meet up with Mother Liu.

She stood up, brushed off the dust on her skirt, and was about to leave when she heard Xie Jing ask, "Fei'er, I heard that Yang Mei embarrassed you on the street?"

Xie Fei asked, "Is it very strange?"

Xie Jing lowered his eyes and said, "I have taught her a lesson."

Xie Fei sneered, "If she could listen to you, she wouldn't be the unruly and willful Xie Yang."

Among the brothers and sisters in the family, Xie Yang likes to bully Xie Fei the most.

Maybe it was because the other brothers and sisters were older and didn’t play with Xie Yang, and Xie Jing was not raised in the capital, so the only one who could “play” with Xie Yang was Xie Fei.

That person is simply an evil demon. If Xie Fei had not been born with a broken back and had the memory of his past life to deal with it, he would have been killed by him long ago.

But the lady never corrected him and just indulged him, which made Xie Yang more and more presumptuous.

After worshipping the God of Wealth, Xie Fei could leave, but Xie Jing had to continue worshipping, and it would take several hours to finish.

When they arrived at the Tianmen Gate, Fu Yu was waiting.

"Miss, I just met the maids of the Fifth Miss. The Fifth Miss has also returned to the capital. Have you seen her?"

Xie Fei said: "We met and talked for a few words."

Fu Yu looked at the majestic golden palace above the mountains and asked in a low voice, "Fifth Miss, have you not forgotten that person yet?"

"Fifth sister's love is as deep as the ocean. She doesn't care about anyone except that person." Xie Fei sighed.

Fu Yu whispered, "But I heard before that the man is dead. Why is Fifth Miss still keeping the canceled engagement? Besides, the Madam will definitely not let her stay like this. Sooner or later, she will have to talk about marriage again."

Xie Fei said: "Fifth sister seems to be indifferent and noble, not caring about worldly affairs, but in fact she is the one who is most willing to give up."

If someone really forces her, she would never give in even if it means a fight to the death.

This is one of the reasons why the eldest lady did not dare to force Xie Jing to marry again.
