The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 171 Langjiu is a jinx

The large group of female relatives were all wearing plain clothes, but the fabrics were precious and exquisite, and the accessories on their heads were carefully matched. This was the heritage that only noble families had.

If the visitor had not been so aggressive, Lang Jiuchuan would probably have praised him, saying that he was worthy of being born into a noble family and was truly noble.

Now, with his luxurious clothes and domineering temperament, he seems to be quite overbearing.

Jianlan stood silently in front of Lang Jiuchuan, her heart pounding. Could it be that the Qi family discovered that the girl was away in the middle of the night and suspected that she was related to the death of Fourth Miss Qi?

Lang Jiuchuan looked at Jianlan's actions, a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes, and he walked forward and said, "No noise is allowed in the temple, so as not to disturb the gods. The master should have informed the nobles."

These words were spoken to the monk who followed the Qi family's group, but the irony was directed at that group of nobles.

She also recognized the monk as the monk she met in the Main Hall last night. She thought that her appearance in the Main Hall at midnight had caught people's attention.

A real problem.

The monk put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist mantra: "What the donor said makes sense. It was this poor monk who was negligent."

The Qi family members looked embarrassed, angry and ugly.

"You are the unlucky Langjia Jiuniang. Don't make indirect accusations here. Let me ask you, where else did you go when you left the courtyard in the middle of the night except to the Main Hall?" A long-faced woman asked with red eyes.

"Oh, are they trying a prisoner? How come Huguo Temple has become a place like Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice? The ladies no longer do embroidery and meditation, but instead hold whips to act as jailers and try prisoners?" Madam Shen walked out and stood beside Lang Jiuchuan, looking at the person opposite her with dissatisfaction.

Cui was also standing on the other side of Lang Jiuchuan. She was already cold and expressionless, and her voice was icy: "I wonder what my Jiu Niang did wrong to offend you?"

Everyone was shocked when they saw Mrs. Shen. They heard that Shen Qingtian brought his family to Huguo Temple, and Mrs. Shen also came to Cui's side. They didn't expect it to be true. Now she opened her mouth to defend Lang Jiuchuan. Is she here for Lang Jiuchuan?
What's their relationship?
When Shen Peng came out of the meditation room, everyone looked puzzled, as if they had eaten a melon that was meant to be seen.

After all, Shen Peng is not engaged yet, and Lang Jiuchuan is also unmarried.

But, isn’t the Lang family in mourning? It’s not appropriate to visit now, right?

Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Peng and Lang Jiuchuan. Lang Jiuchuan didn't notice anything, but Shen Peng's ears felt hot. Could it be a misunderstanding?
It is true that he admires Lang Jiuchuan, but a woman like this is not something a vulgar man like him can handle. He is not worthy of her!

Shen Peng walked aside and stood there quietly and openly.

"Mrs. Shen is here too? Is this your son? He is so handsome..."

Madam Shen looked at the noblewoman beside Rong Changlian and said, "Madam Yao, you don't have to test her secretly. It's not what you think. Which family would discuss marriage when someone is in mourning? Wouldn't that make them look unfilial? Ah Jiu is so good, I don't want her to be criticized. Besides, my little brat is not worthy of her. She is beautiful and I like her very much. I treat her like my daughter. Otherwise, why did we come to the temple? Of course, she is here to pray for her deceased father, so she came to talk."

As she spoke, she put her arm around Lang Jiuchuan's shoulders to show her closeness.

Cui was in mixed emotions. Madam Yao was a little embarrassed by the retort, and wondered why she should say anything. Madam Shen looked gentle and generous, but her personality was not easy to mess with, and she had the confidence to confront him.

"Tell me, are you interrogating a prisoner with this tone?" Mrs. Shen glanced at the group of people opposite her, her expression even more arrogant than theirs.

Rong Changlian, the second wife of the Qi family and the aunt of Miss Qi Si, said with a sad face, "Madam Shen, my fourth daughter of the Qi family came to the temple with sincerity to pray for her family and friends, but she was killed in the back mountain. It's a pity that she was killed at such a young age just because she came to worship Buddha sincerely."

"I have also heard about this matter, so wasn't my husband invited to judge the case? The Huguo Temple was even under martial law because of this. But you came here to question a little girl, don't you think she harmed the girl from the Qi family?" Madam Shen stepped aside a little and said, "Last year at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet of Princess Cheng, I saw that the fourth Miss Qi was tall and looked more robust than Xiaojiu."

Everyone looked at Lang Jiuchuan again. She was not short, but she was thin and had little flesh on her face. Her complexion did not look as rosy as that of ordinary people. She was indeed weak.

With his weak constitution, he won’t be able to win if he really fights with Qi Si, right?

They also understood what Mrs. Shen meant, which was that Lang Jiuchuan was too weak to kill Qi Si.

Madam Qi II secretly hated and said, "I didn't mean that. I just heard that Xiao Si and Miss Lang Jiu had a conflict yesterday, and someone saw her burning incense in the main hall at midnight last night, so I wanted to ask."

"The one who has a conflict is me, not my daughter." Cui said coldly, "Besides, I don't think this conflict is a conflict. It's just that the temple that my Lang family reserved three months ago was transferred to Fourth Miss Qi's without being informed. I don't bother to compete with a spoiled little girl for a temple. As long as the monk in charge of reception replaces it with a better one, we won't scold Fourth Miss Qi even if she said something unpleasant. This little girl should know it clearly, after all, she also said something arrogant at that time."

Cui looked at a distraught little girl in the crowd. She was the one who said that Lang Jiuchuan was unlucky in order to please Miss Qi Si that day, and was also Madam Yao's concubine daughter, Yao Yixin.

Mrs. Yao's face changed and she glared at Yao Yixin, and then she talked about her business.

Yao Yixin wavered, her face pale, but her cheeks flushed abnormally, her eyes were anxious, looking at the person in front of her, and then seeing Lang Jiuchuan, who was wearing a cloak, standing straight, and had a cold expression, she said in horror: "It's her fault, she is a jinx, whoever doesn't get along with her will die, Qi Xinyu is like this, Qi Minjun is also like this, maybe the rumors are right, they all die because of provoking her and being cursed by her, Lang Jiu is a disaster star...ah!"

Snapped.

Madam Yao slapped her in the face: "Asshole, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Yao Yixin’s eyes went dark, she let out a scream, and fell down softly.

"Take her back." Madam Yao felt so embarrassed. If it weren't for the fact that she was on good terms with Qi Si and could get connected to the imperial concubine's family, she wouldn't even want to look at her.

Now, people have been offended.

Madam Yao had a headache and looked at Madam Shen. Before she could speak, the other party sneered, "Madam Yao is really well-educated. She has taught her daughter well. She is so eloquent."

Mrs. Yao forced a smile: "The child was frightened and confused by the fever."

She just felt Yao Yixin's face was burning.

Madam Shen looked at Madam Qi Er, her voice chilling: "Madam Qi Er thinks so too?"
