Chapter 25
On the way back, Murong Ge suddenly thought of something that had troubled him for a long time.He thought, for Xu Nian, he did like her, but it was based on the two getting along for so many years.

He is also a human being, and he will naturally develop feelings for someone who has been with him for a long time.However, his feelings for Xu Nian, like the feelings of family members, were mistaken for love by him.

No wonder when he was with Xu Nian, he always felt that something was missing between them.Why is he so stupid, taking family affection as love, is it too late for him to regret it now?Or is he going to fail one woman and then fail another woman who really likes him, after all, Xu Nian's affection for him is genuine love.

On the way back to the inn, Murong Ge was thinking wildly, his thoughts had already drifted away, Xu Nian didn't care about what Xu Nian said to him at all, which made Xu Nian who couldn't get a response to his question very annoyed.

Jiangnan is a rainy place, just after returning to Mu Mansion, the sky began to drizzle again, covering the sky and covering up the secrets in the dark.An ulterior conspiracy is brewing in a certain dark and damp alley.

"This is the person I want you to kidnap. Do as I say, and the 100 taels will be yours. After the matter is completed, there will be another big reward." The visitor showed the portrait in his hand to the person opposite.

The person was behind the curtain, so the face could not be seen clearly, but the voice was that of a woman, the voice was suppressed very low, and the original timbre could not be heard.Judging by her attire, she is a woman from a wealthy family.

"Girl, you're not on the right track now. If it was before today, we might have agreed to this business, but after today, no one in Jiangnan City knows the person in this painting. With such a small amount of money, You just want us to do her, can't you?"

The speaker was also wearing a black scarf to cover his face, leaving only a pair of sinister and cunning eyes outside. Looking at the woman at this time, the disdain in his eyes was very clear.It's true that they don't know much. It's good to have a taste of such a celebrity, but there are so many people behind him. It's not worth it to put yourself in for such a small amount of money.

"Okay, how much do you want, as long as you get things done." After thinking for a while, the woman spoke again.

"No matter what, it will cost 1000 taels. This matter is very risky. If we are not careful, we will never return." The man's greed was fully revealed.

"Okay, this is 500 taels, and I'll give it to you after the rest is done." The woman was very straightforward, took out the bank note from her sleeve and handed it out.As long as it can get rid of the thorn in her heart, she is willing to pay any money.

"Then it's settled." I really don't know how that beauty offended her, so ruthlessly.The man walked down the alley to the depths.But that's none of his business, you know, not everyone can have a chance to taste such a superb product.Tsk tsk, it's exciting to think about it.There is a saying that goes, if a peony blossoms and dies, even a ghost is a romantic.

Thinking of the man's obscene gaze when he was about to leave, the woman turned around and left the alley, blended into the crowd and disappeared, leaving only a lingering voice: "Now, let's see how proud you are."

In the Mu Mansion, Mu Yi sat in the Shuixin Pavilion, her eyes narrowed slightly, her long eyelashes covered her light eyes, her hands rested on her chin, she seemed to be sleeping but her face was fair and clean, as lazy as a cat The child's look is bewildering.

There are many mountains and rivers in the mansions in the south of the Yangtze River, with black tiles and white walls, blue stone alleys, screen windows with green vines, bamboo fences and flower shadow pavilions, and the layout is very different.The same is true for Mu Mansion, where the most distinctive scenery is the Shuixin Pavilion where Mu Yi is now.

Surrounded by blue waves, only a wooden bridge with nine winding corridors leads to the shore. Pink water lilies are planted in the water, and a few naughty fish jump out of the water from time to time.Poetic and picturesque is nothing more than that.

The servants were pushed back by Mu Yi, and there was only Mu Yi in the pavilion.After a long time, Murong Ge flew into the pavilion, looked at the beautiful woman sleeping soundly, approached involuntarily, stretched out his hand to lightly touch the powdered noodles, the delicate and soft touch made Murong Ge a little addicted, and his outstretched hand froze before touching the target .

Mu Yi opened her eyes: "Although I don't know where the young master is from, but he broke into the house without permission and made such a disrespectful gesture. If people see this, don't they think we are having a private meeting, but I But I remember very clearly that I have never met you, Young Master, so please leave quickly, or I will call someone."

Mu Yi got up and backed away, and stood still some way away from Murong Ge, looking around with a cautious expression.

Seeing the woman's panicked face and pretending to be calm, Murong Ge swallowed the wry smile on his lips, bent down and cupped his fists: "I didn't think carefully enough to do something like Meng Lang's, which disturbed the young lady. I'll leave now, and I hope you will leave." Miss, don't blame me." In a hurry, the person had disappeared.

Mu Yi removed the panic on her face, sat down with her skirt stroked, and looked at the direction in which Murong Ge disappeared, with an erratic expression.Why, I felt that I was wrong, so why didn't I think that I was wrong before this.

It's only natural to fall in love with someone, and there is nothing wrong with it, but you can't think about it for the original owner.Knowing that the original owner lives in the south of the Yangtze River, he still swaggered over to this meeting, with a confidante by his side.

Even if the original owner has no feelings for him, the girl's face, the Mu family's face, and even his father's face must be taken into account.At any rate, Father Mu was still his father's savior, and he had never repaid his kindness over the years, but he had also helped the Murong family a lot.

Bringing others to Jiangnan with such a big fanfare, if people knew about his relationship with the Mu family, how would Mu Yi, a boudoir lady, behave.My fiancé was unwilling to marry me, so he brought his sweetheart here not long after the divorce.Is this what a man does?

"Murongge, don't worry, the next thing is, the good show just started. I promised her that I will help her with anything. Since you were once the person she couldn't ask for, this time I will let you have a taste of it." Right. Didn’t you say that what you lose is the most memorable.” What you can’t get is always in turmoil, nothing more than that.

The Jiangnan Conference was in full swing, and the masters of all parties competed for skills, which brought a lot of fun to the people of Jiangnan.On the third day of the meeting, Mu Yi went out.Father Mu's birthday is approaching.

Mu Yi is going to the temple to pray for blessings, and to pray for Mu's father's safety.Of course, more importantly, if she doesn't go out, how can those who are waiting to see her have a chance to implement the plan.

"Miss, the master said that there are people and snakes in the south of the Yangtze River these few days. I want you to come back after praying. Don't stay outside for too long. It's not safe." Just as I was about to get in the car, I heard what the servant sent by Father Mu said. .Mu Yi nodded.

Father Mu is a qualified father who loves but not spoils his daughter, so whether it is the original owner's temperament or character, they are all excellent, and he is a leader among his peers. If there is no Xu Nian, the original owner will eventually You can find a good husband and love you for a lifetime, instead of dying in the temple like that.

"I see, tell my father that I will come back early, so that he doesn't have to be careful." Mu Yi doesn't like to bring too many people with her when she travels, and there is only one servant girl who serves her. Father is worried.However, there are too many people in the way, and some things are more convenient to do by yourself.

Qingyuan Temple, the largest temple in the south of the Yangtze River, is also well-known throughout the Central Plains.The temple was full of incense, and in the past few days, many people who participated in the Jiangnan Conference came here admiringly, and the mountain road leading to the temple was crowded.

Mu Yi walked up slowly with the crowd, while admiring the scenery on the side of the road, very comfortable and envious of others.After all, the mountain where Qingyuan Temple is located is very high, even a young and strong young man would be exhausted to climb up.

Now that he was almost at the top of the mountain, many middle-aged men in the same group were already out of breath, but Mu Yi was still walking leisurely, her face covered by the veil was as white as jade as before.

Ignoring everyone's surprised gazes, Mu Yi entered the grand ceremony of Qingyuan Temple.Right in front of the hall is a golden statue of Tathagata Buddha, majestic, merciful, and looking down on all living beings.Mu Yi knelt down and kowtowed, once, twice, thrice, with a devout look.It's just that those eyes, like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, were dark and bottomless, without any emotion.

What is Buddha?The Buddha enjoys the incense of all living beings on the top of the cloud, and listens to all kinds of prayers of all living beings: he wants to be named on the gold list to shine on the lintel, he is willing to use his sword to be a hero, and she wants to marry a person with one heart and never leave her head.

But the poor are still poor, and those who want to keep their fingers off the sun still fall into the trivialities of daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.The good people are still good, and the evil people have not decreased.why?

It's just that the aloof Buddha has already had a heart like still water untainted by dust. His eyes are looking at all living beings, but the figures of all living beings have never been reflected in his eyes.Believe it or not, the so-called Buddha is nothing but the yearning of people's hearts.

What do all living beings have to do with him?What is he doing to sentient beings?

After drawing lots and getting the safety talisman, Mu Yi left through the side door, bypassing the maid waiting at the entrance of the main hall, and walked towards the back mountain alone.The heyday of a temple depends not only on itself, but also on the surrounding environment.

Undoubtedly, the scenery of Qingyuan Temple is also very beautiful. Unknowingly, Mu Yi seemed to be fascinated by it, deviated from the main road, and walked into the dark depths of the woods.All around, there are thin rustling voices gradually approaching.

"Little lady, you are unlucky today, stay and play with me, I guarantee that you will be happy like a fairy." Suddenly, a group of people masked in black scarves appeared and surrounded Mu Yi, and one seemed to be the leader. The man kept scanning Mu Yi's body, his eyes were wretched and straightforward.Tsk tsk, such a superb beauty, they will die soon.

Mu Yi took a few steps back, leaned against a big tree, lowered her head, the shadow of the tree covered Mu Yi's face, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.His body trembled.

"I don't know who you are, and I don't remember that I offended you. As long as you let me go, I will definitely repay you. It doesn't matter how much money you have. Please don't hurt me. I beg you." The voice trembled, He looked terribly scared.
