Then Shen Wan took a carriage out of the city and headed straight for Huguo Temple.

Upon reaching the foot of Huguo Temple Mountain, the mountain road became difficult to traverse, and the pace slowed down. Shen Wan lifted the carriage curtain to look outside, where the ancient temple was shrouded in mist, adding to its mystique.

Shen Wan watched for a while, and just as she was about to lower the carriage curtain, a familiar-looking carriage came down the mountain.

It was the carriage that Princess Huai'an usually rode in.

She was wondering why her eldest brother had come to Huguo Temple so early in the morning; it turned out he was meeting with Princess Huai'an.

It's a pity we arrived a little late; Princess Huai'an had already come down the mountain. But since we've run into each other, we should definitely say hello, since we'll soon be family.

The two carriages stopped, their windows facing each other, making it easier for Shen Wan and Princess Huai'an to talk.

Yinshuang lifted the carriage curtain high, but Princess Huai'an's maid lifted the curtain halfway up and then lowered it further, so that Shenwan could not even see Princess Huai'an's people.

Shen Wan thought to herself with a puzzlement, "I didn't expect to run into Princess Huai'an here."

Princess Huai'an said, "I never expected to run into Princess Ling..."

Her voice was a little hoarse, and Shen Wan asked, "Is Princess Huai'an feeling unwell?"

Princess Huai'an did not speak, but her maid Zisu said, "I'm sorry to have worried Princess Ling. My princess is fine. She just came to light the eternal lamp for the Dowager Consort. Thinking of the Dowager Consort's love for her when she was alive, she felt a little sad and shed a few tears."

Shen Wan had no doubt about this explanation.

"This is not the place to talk," Shen Wan said. "If the Dowager Consort knew from beyond the grave that the Princess missed her so much, she would be very gratified. I will not disturb the Princess's return to the manor any longer."

The maid bowed her head as a gesture of respect to Shen Wan, and then lowered the carriage curtain.

The servant drove the carriage down the mountain.

Shen Wan continued up the mountain. When they arrived at the horse parking area, Yin Shuang got off the carriage and helped Shen Wan down.

Not knowing where Princess Qinghe was, and still waiting to see if her cousin had left, Shen Wan asked Dong'er to go find Princess Qinghe, while she went to the Great Buddha Hall to pray for Xie Jingyan.

As she stepped up the stairs, she saw a girl coming down. Upon seeing the girl, Shen Wan immediately felt that her older brother had done the right thing by knocking out her cousin and sending him back to the Yun family.

That girl was none other than Yao Qing, the eldest daughter of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who had accidentally fallen down the steps in her previous life, was saved by her cousin, and ended up causing chaos in the Yun family.

In this life, Shen Wan and she had no connection, but Miss Yao recognized Shen Wan and curtsied to her, saying, "Greetings, Princess Ling."

Shen Wan didn't have a good impression of her, so she gave a perfunctory reply and led Yin Shuang up the steps to the main hall.

Shen Wan knelt on the prayer mat, sincerely praying that Xie Jingyan's vomiting would be cured soon.

After offering my prayers and donating some money for incense, I left the main hall.

After walking a dozen steps, Dong'er ran over, panting, and said, "Your Highness, Princess Qinghe is in the pavilion over there."

Dong'er pointed in a direction, and Shen Wan walked over.

There were three pavilions in that direction, two of which were in crowded areas. Shen Wan did not see Princess Qinghe, so she continued walking forward.

After walking for a while, we saw Princess Qinghe standing there in the distance, enjoying the breeze, with her maidservants attending to her.

Hearing footsteps approaching, the maid turned around happily. Seeing that it was Shen Wan, the maid paused for a moment, then quickly reported to Princess Qinghe, "Princess, Princess Ling has arrived."

When the maidservant reported, Princess Qinghe had already seen Shen Wan. She was also somewhat taken aback. She stepped out of the pavilion and looked at Shen Wan walking towards her, saying, "This, what a coincidence..."

Shen Wan smiled and said, "It's not a coincidence, I came here to see the county princess."

Her mother and elder brother didn't know she had come to Huguo Temple, so how could Princess Ling know?

No, it couldn't have been Young Master Yun who told her...

Thinking of this, Princess Qinghe's ears turned bright red, so red they could bleed.

Princess Qinghe asked awkwardly, "Yes, it was Young Master Yun who sent you?"

Shen Wan said, "On his way to Huguo Temple to see you, my cousin ran into my elder brother. Because the Yun family forbade my cousin to come to Huguo Temple, my elder brother couldn't persuade him, so he knocked him unconscious and sent him back to the Yun family. I guessed that my cousin was coming to see you. I was afraid that you would be worried if you waited too long. I also happened to be coming to Huguo Temple to pray for the Ling Prince, so I brought him along to tell you."

Princess Qinghe blushed crimson. A lady of noble birth should not meet with men in private. She had mustered up all her courage to ask Young Master Yun for a meeting, but not only did she not get to see him, Princess Ling also found out. Princess Qinghe was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into the ground.

But she was also curious, and she asked, "Why can't Young Master Yun come to Huguo Temple?"

Shen Wan knew that Princess Qinghe would ask, so she said, "Isn't it because my cousin had an accident at Huguo Temple? My maternal grandfather was afraid that those people would use the same tricks again, so he sent my cousin to Huguo Temple, hoping he would also be targeted. Although he probably wouldn't be in any trouble, my older brother was worried that something might happen, so he..."

Shen Wan stopped there.

Princess Qinghe blushed and said, "I don't know..."

She will never do such a shameful thing again.

Princess Qinghe's thoughts were almost written on her face. Shen Wan smiled and said, "My cousin will soon go to the Prince of Yanping's mansion to propose marriage."

Princess Qinghe was taken aback at first, then the blush on her face quickly faded.

She couldn't control herself from getting closer to Young Master Yun, but she also knew that her father and mother would not agree to her marrying Young Master Yun.

Princess Qinghe lowered her eyes and said, "My father and mother will not agree to this."

Shen Wan said, "Where there's a will, there's a way. Nothing is impossible in this world. My cousin will try his best to marry you, and Prince Ling and I will also help him."

Is it really possible?

Princess Qinghe dared not harbor such extravagant hopes.

She didn't care about social status, but her father and mother cared, and the royal family would also try to stop her.
