Lunch was eaten at Tantuo Temple.

Meanwhile, Shuyuan received some news from the Fourth Prince's residence in the capital.

"You said you saw the Fourth Prince's carriage heading towards Tantuo Temple today?"

The old woman nodded: "Yes."

Shuyuan looked at the sun outside; it was almost lunchtime.

Fourth Prince Consort doesn't usually like to attend banquets. She might attend a few occasionally, but those banquets are not ones that a mere concubine like her can attend, so she basically has no chance to see Fourth Prince Consort.

But now she is very eager to know whether the Fourth Prince's wife is from the same hometown.

After thinking for a moment, Shuyuan instructed, "Prepare a carriage and go to Tantuo Temple."

"My lady, shall we skip the meal before we go?" the nanny suggested.

Shuyuan shook her head: "No, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Even if we go now, we need to hurry.

If the person leaves, she doesn't know when the next time will be.

Although the nanny didn't understand why she was in such a hurry to see the Fourth Prince's wife, she still went to prepare the carriage.

Tanzhe Temple is a famous temple in the capital, with a thriving incense offering and excellent vegetarian meals. After lunch, Yinzhen insisted on taking Tong Cheng'er to digest their food.

Yinzhen felt she was eating too much and was worried she would have indigestion.

Taking a walk in a temple to digest food was a first for Tong Cheng'er, a very novel experience.

The two strolled leisurely, looking quite content.

Then I saw a familiar face coming towards me.

Yingyu never expected to run into the Fourth Prince and his wife at this time. Since she had met them, she should at least say hello. She had met Tong Xuean a few times before.

It was only after these few meetings that this meeting took place. She was very satisfied with Tong Xuean. Judging from the opinions of both families' elders, she would basically be Tong Cheng'er's third sister-in-law from now on.

Regardless of their past relationship or their current status, she should at least say hello.

Tong Cheng'er saw Yingyu walk in.

"Greetings to the Fourth Prince and his wife."

Yinzhen: "Get up!"

Yingyu stood up: "Thank you, Fourth Prince and Fourth Princess."

Tong Cheng'er said directly to Yinzhen, "I need to talk to Sister Yingyu for a bit, please don't disturb us."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen felt somewhat aggrieved, but still nodded: "Okay."

However, nodding in agreement did not prevent him from being unhappy.

"I'll come find you later."

Tong Cheng'er shook her head: "No need, I can go back by myself."

Yinzhen: "No."

Tong Cheng'er: "Why not? I'm so big, and I have a lot of people with me, so I won't get lost."

...

Yingyu felt somewhat superfluous standing to the side and looked down at her toes.

The two finally agreed to meet, and Tong Cheng'er won, preventing Yinzhen from coming to see her.

Yingyu looked up.

Yinzhen happened to catch a glimpse of Yingyu, which startled her so much that she shivered. His gaze was so intense it could freeze a person to death.

Tong Cheng'er didn't see Yinzhen's actions, but noticing that Yingyu's expression was a little off, she asked with concern, "What's wrong, Sister Yingyu?"

Yingyu snapped out of her daze, trying to ignore the Fourth Prince's gaze, and shook her head, saying to Tong Cheng'er, "Nothing."

Tong Cheng'er still asked with some concern, "Are you really alright?"

Yingyu: "I'm really fine."

"It's good that you're alright."

With Yinzhen absent, the two became much more relaxed in their conversation. They had exchanged letters before, so they had plenty to talk about.

On the other side, Yinzhen was walking down the road when he said to Su Peisheng, "I remember Tong Xuean is the third son of the Tong family, right?"

Su Peisheng nodded: "Yes, what is it, Master?"

Yinzhen shook his head: "Nothing."

He felt he had a grudge against the number "three." First there was the Third Prince's wife, and now another future sister-in-law from his maternal family had arrived. Yinzhen felt that all these "threes" were there to bring him bad luck.

The more I think about it, the more my head aches.

Su Peisheng: ? ? ?

What you're saying, Master, is completely nonsensical.

It's a bit puzzling.

Tong Cheng'er told Yingyu about her experiences in Mongolia and Jiangnan, while Yingyu told her about some gossip and interesting stories from the capital.

The Third Prince's wife had told Tong Cheng'er quite a bit, but because the two had different statuses and social circles, the Third Prince's wife and Yingyu knew different things.

The Third Princess Consort mainly talked about things within the scope of Tong Cheng'er's current interactions, while Yingyu talked more about the interesting stories of her unmarried daughters.

Tong Cheng'er found it quite interesting.

As they got a little carried away with their conversation, Ru Xue, remembering the instructions her master had whispered before leaving, reminded her, "Madam, it's getting late."

Tong Cheng'er asked, "What time is it?"

Ru Xue spoke for an hour, and Tong Cheng'er said, "It is indeed getting late."

If we keep chatting, it will be late when we get back, and then we'll have to travel at night.

"In that case, it's time to go back. Sister Yingyu, let's stop here for today. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Tong Cheng'er's last sentence can be considered a double entendre.

Yingyu smiled upon hearing this.

After parting ways with Yingyu, Tong Cheng'er took her people to Yinzhen's place.

When she arrived, she saw Yinzhen talking to her third brother, and it seemed that the two were having a good conversation.

Yinzhen saw Tong Cheng'er first, and a smile appeared on his lips: "You're back?"

Tong Cheng'er nodded: "I'm back."

"It's getting late, so let's stop here for today. We can continue our conversation another time," Yinzhen said to Tong Xuean.

Although he knew it was getting late, Tong Xuean hadn't finished chatting. The two had just discussed a lot of business strategies, and Tong Xuean greatly admired his brother-in-law, Yinzhen, who was skilled in business and had extensive practical experience.

However, it was indeed getting late, so Tong Xuean could only say regretfully, "Alright then."
