Chapter 82 Jealousy

There will be a Buddhist conference in three days, which is held once every ten years and is jointly held by the Imperial Observatory, the Ministry of Rites, and the Dajue Temple. Eminent monks from all over the country will come here.

If dignitaries want to live in Dajue Temple, they must have considerable strength in terms of connections and money!

When I was seven years old.

Chu Jiuning donated two million and a golden statue of Tathagata in exchange for a small courtyard in Dajue Temple. Then she quickly bought a large piece of land at the foot of the mountain, including the neighboring hill.

Built on the mountain and living by the water.

Invested in an inn that can accommodate a thousand people.

There are single rooms, double rooms, and separate courtyards with kitchens. They are taken care of by dedicated staff regardless of the off-season or peak season. They are clean and elegant, and can be used for worshiping Buddha or relaxing. During the spring examination, they are also provided free accommodation to students.

certainly.

Teachers and students of Hanshan Academy can live here at any time. This is a privilege that belongs only to them!

In the past two years, because of the Buddhist conference to be held, she bought another piece of land to expand and renovate the inn. Not only has the environment become more beautiful, but the rooms have also become more spacious.

The inn started accepting reservations a year ago, and was fully booked almost three months ago. A few days ago, Matron Hong added 500 people to the inn, ready to fully welcome guests from afar.

Count the days.

On the last day, no new guests will be allowed into the temple, and the surrounding area will be sealed off, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's troops maintaining order.

So they have to set off for Dajue Temple today, smell the Buddhist incense, eat vegetarian food, and calm their minds.

but.

For some people, this is also a unique opportunity to set a trap. Once they fall into it, they will be embarrassed in front of the whole world, or... lose their life!

At the gate of the courtyard.

Mingtang rushed in with a basket of freshly cut flowers, an angry look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Mingtang put the flowers heavily on the low table and said angrily.

"He was dressed like a decent person, but he was blocking our door like a gangster, saying that if we didn't open the door and see him, he would break it down."

Chu Jiuning's face turned cold. He stood up, found a tall white jade vase, and took a pair of scissors. After curling up on the couch, he spoke in a deep voice.

"Then let him in."

This pink flower is so gorgeous that it will definitely be eye-catching if placed in a window. When the breeze blows in, it brings its faint fragrance, and the whole room can be smelled with it.

"good."

Mingtang nodded and went out to make arrangements.

After a while.

Song Jinhuai was wearing the gorgeous clothes awarded by the emperor, a jade crown inlaid with golden lotus, and a gloomy face. He looked around the courtyard as he walked. Looking at the luxury inside that was built with money, his heart was bleeding.

This bitch took his money and squandered it everywhere!

It made his life so miserable.

He had previously owed the drugstore owner more than 40,000 taels of silver, and had been asked to pay countless times. Not to mention this matter, the other one was more urgent. He had to get the money within a month, otherwise their Song family would really be wiped out.

Knowing he came in, Chu Jiuning didn't even raise her head, but just carefully trimmed the flowers and placed them in the vase one by one.

It won’t take a moment.

Under her skillful hands, the delicate flowers look fresh and lively.

The flowers are beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful.

Song Jinhuai was stunned unconsciously.

Taking care of flowers and plants is a must-learn lesson for young ladies from noble families. I didn't expect that she could do it too.

Song Jinhuai was surprised to find that there was amazement in her eyes. She was angry and annoyed. There was chaos in the Song Mansion and things were happening everywhere, but she was hiding here, enjoying herself leisurely, her hands tender as water.

"You and mother are both in the palace. You have money and means to protect yourself, but don't you know how to protect your mother? She has been tortured and is covered in wounds. Chu Jiuning, do you have any conscience?"

As soon as he came back, he called four or five doctors, and cried and screamed.

All the expensive medicinal herbs that were bought were used to make pills and ointments for Yinyin, but now there is none left. Her mother got to know about this and she was so angry that she smashed the medicine bowl and insisted that An Yinyin come to take care of her. She asked for this and that, which made her very upset.

On the other hand, Chu Jiuning.

A person is free and easy, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and a stunning appearance, as noble as a lady from a wealthy family.

"Prince Song, we are trapped in the palace, not here to play. If you are here to accuse us of this, the entrance is over there."

Chu Jiuning's words were full of sarcasm, and Song Jinhuai knew that she was telling the truth, so he turned around angrily and slumped into his chair.

"Dajue Temple is about to hold a Buddhist conference. It happens once every ten years and is of great significance. There's been a lot going on in the mansion lately, so mother wants us to stay at Dajue Temple for a few days."

In order to plot against Chu Jiuning, he took great pains to coax his mother into paying for a courtyard.

This time.

Not only did he want Chu Jiuning to be ruined, he also wanted all the dignitaries in the dynasty to know that Chu Jiuning was a slut!

Chu Jiuning didn't say anything, but slowly arranged the flowers one by one. Under the bright light, in front of the flowers, her face, which was more beautiful than the flowers, was as indifferent as ever.

Every time Song Jinhuai saw her indifference, he would be furious and wanted to slap her twice, but this time, he had to endure it. The real show would only begin when they got to the mountain.

"The meditation room has been reserved. We have to leave today. There will be too many people tomorrow and the area will be closed."

The action of arranging the flowers paused slightly. Chu Jiuning looked at Song Jinhuai coldly. How could this man change his personality? He actually booked the meditation room by himself. According to his previous personality, shouldn't he ask her for money?

In his previous life, he used this as an excuse, saying how difficult it was to book a room and how he needed to use connections to cheat her out of 200,000 taels of silver.

It seems.

They are determined to harm themselves!

"Do you have money to book a meditation room?"

Don't bring up the issue that's not under discussion.

Chu Jiuning looked at Song Jinhuai with a mocking smile. Song Jinhuai stared at her coldly, but was shocked by her bright smile.

"You owe the doctor so much money. Have you paid it back?"

"How do you know?"

Song Jinhuai stood up suddenly, his eyes were gloomy and his breathing was stagnant. He hadn't told anyone about this matter, so how did she know?

Today, he had finally used his status as the crown prince to pressure the doctor into giving him another month's notice, otherwise he would have gone to his father to ask for money.

"Tens of thousands of taels of silver is not a small amount. If you don't pay it back, they will sue you."

Song Jinhuai clenched his fists tightly. He had already made up his mind that during the temple fair, he would send someone to kill the doctor and burn down the pharmacy. In this way, the IOU he wrote would also be burned and no one would know that he owed money anymore.

Chu Jiuning knew from his gloomy look that he had murderous intentions, so she sent someone to tell the pharmacy owner early in the morning to be cautious and to go to Shuntian Prefecture to file a case first. If anything happened to her, it would definitely be related to Song Jinhuai, and Lord Li should increase patrols near the pharmacy.

"Mind your own business and get out now. No one will be waiting for you for more than half an hour. Without me, you won't be able to enter the Dali Temple."

As he spoke, Song Jinhuai raised his eyebrows again. Although Chu Jiuning was tough in his words, he was still obedient. Is this because he knew that he was a prince and didn't dare to make things too awkward with him?

What if I consummate my marriage with her?

Her skin was as white as snow and her figure was graceful. I wonder what it would be like to hold her in my arms after she took off her clothes.

It felt like a fire was burning in his heart. Unable to control himself, he took a few steps forward, grabbed Chu Jiuning's shoulders, and leaned over to kiss her.

Almost at that moment, Chu Jiuning grabbed the scissors on the table and pressed them against Song Jinhuai's neck.

The cold, stinging sensation startled Song Jinhuai so much that he hurriedly stepped back, covering his neck and saying hatefully.

"Why? The Crown Prince has already eaten and touched you, and you don't want me, your husband, to touch you anymore?"

Head down.

Looking down from a high vantage point, you can see her graceful neck. When her neckline opens, the flourishing scenery below is revealed. Holding it in your hand, it is simply enough to drive you crazy.

But she wouldn't let anyone touch her.

In this world.

What wife would dare to disobey her husband like this, let alone he is the emperor's own son.

"Chu Jiuning, you should know my status. As long as my father asks, I will always be His Highness of the Great Dynasty. Don't you want the noble status of a princess?"

"It's just a bastard, who cares?"

His face was torn apart in an instant, and Song Jinhuai's face turned ashen.

Bastard!

What he feared most now were these two words. If they got out and the emperor didn't recognize him, people would just say he was a bastard.

Why are they all descendants of the emperor? Others can be princes or high princes, but he can only be a bastard.

It makes people angry and crazy when they think about it.

One day.

He wanted to return to the palace as a prince, make everyone bow to him, and make Chu Jiuning kneel before him and admit her mistakes.

Raise your hand.

With a bang, he threw the vase she had just prepared far away, and turned and rushed away in a rage.

Nanny Hong just happened to come in carrying some pastries. Seeing how ferocious he looked, she became a little anxious.

"Miss, are we going with them? Someone from Dajue Temple came to ask why we haven't left yet."

Her courtyard has always been kept separate and kept secret from the outside world. In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has a special courtyard.

It seems that there are two other courtyards that are also independently owned, but it is not known to whom.

"Who wants to go with him? Let's pack up and leave. Eunuch Chen and the others should have arrived at Dajue Temple. We'll stay in Song Jinhuai's yard first. He must have dug a trap for me to jump into."

"Miss, I must stay with you all the time."

Amber immediately became alert, and Nanny Hong nodded heavily.

"Then I'll go clean it up. I'll go too."

It's always more reassuring to stay with her. Staying here will make me worried every day.

After carefully packing up and making sure that nothing was left behind, everyone went out slowly. However, it took more than half an hour, but more than an hour.

I originally thought that Song Jinhuai had left, but when I looked up, I saw him frowning and looking impatient.

Seeing them come out, Song Jinhuai stepped forward and said coldly.

"Your carriage is softer. Mother and Yinyin are both injured, and Jinbao is young. Let them ride in your carriage, and you can sit with me."

The Duke's wife and An Yinyin looked at each other and smiled after listening to this. Chu Jiuning's carriage was not only gorgeous in shape, but also tall and spacious. It had all kinds of furnishings inside, making it very comfortable to sit in. If you were hungry, there was food inside. Even if there was a traffic jam on the road, there was a toilet inside, so there was no need to worry about people having urgent needs.

"Mother, lie down for a while. It will be more comfortable this way."

An Yinyin supported the Duke's wife, and the servant held Song Jinbao, and the group naturally walked towards Chu Jiuning's carriage. The servant rushed forward, glared, and tried to squeeze Chu Jiuning's coachman away.

Seeing this, Amber took a few steps forward and kicked the servant in the chest. The man fell back more than ten feet with a bang and lay motionless when he hit the ground.

Chu Jiuning smiled at Amber, and Amber showed her a pair of small fangs in return. She turned around and glared at An Yinyin fiercely, jumped onto the carriage, waved her hand domineeringly, and said to her coachman.

"Walk."

The driver raised his head proudly, flicked his whip and responded happily.

"Okay."

The wind blew up the carriage curtains, and Song Jinhuai and his companions saw Chu Jiuning lazily leaning on the soft cushions, looking so comfortable that their eyes suddenly turned red...
