He didn't expect that King Kang was so good at pretending. Why didn't he see it before?

He couldn't help but have more thoughts about King Kang.

The deacon in front arrived at Yuehua Temple first and cleared away all the outsiders. Soon, the large group of people behind also arrived. The mountain road, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly became extremely crowded, with people talking and horses neighing, and it was very lively.

An Yanran asked her maid Xiao Cui to help her into the temple. She did not look around like other young ladies, but was exceptionally dignified and quiet. She also whispered to Xiao Cui not to speak and not to embarrass herself. Xiao Cui was almost scared silly by the mother and daughter, so she dared not to be quiet. If she was asked to speak, she didn't know what to say.

King Kang had already sent people to take care of everything. The east and west wings were filled with people. The young ladies were now looking for their own rooms. Soon, An Yanran found her residence in the east wing. They had already arranged their itinerary. They would pray for three days. During the day, everyone had to go to the designated hall to chant scriptures. Of course, men and women were separated. At night, they would practice in their own residences.

An Yanran didn't wait until night. As soon as she put down her bag, she walked to the door with a plan in mind and suddenly started crying. Originally, everyone lived next door, separated by a wall. Some people didn't go into the house yet, but stood at the door looking out. Her crying attracted many people's attention. The daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, Chen Yu, hesitated for a moment, then walked over quickly: "Yanran, what's wrong with you?"

An Yanran raised her little face from the handkerchief, with a crystal teardrop on her eyelashes. Her little nose was red, and she shook her head: "I'm so rude, I just saw this ancient Buddha with green lamps, and thought of my sister's hard work, and I couldn't help but feel distressed. I feel grateful for her praying for the general's mansion and trapping herself here for more than a month. I don't know what state she has become..."

She was crying as she spoke. The noise she made attracted many young ladies. When they heard An Yanran's words, they couldn't help but sigh that they really had a deep sisterly love. Seeing this, Chen Yu said, "Look at you, silly girl. Isn't your sister in Yuehua Temple? If you miss her, just go see her. Why are you still crying here? You are just a child after all!"

"I'm just thinking about praying for the Queen, how can I have any selfish thoughts!" An Yanran said, wiping her eyes.

"Sisters are so close that it cannot be considered selfish. Besides, the blessing ceremony for the queen has not started yet..."

Hearing this, An Yanran looked at the people surrounding her and murmured, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Are you willing to go with me?"

"Okay, we also want to see the eldest lady of the An Mansion!" Chen Wei said, "This little thing has made you so embarrassed. Hurry up and wipe your tears and go see your sister!"

Upon hearing this, An Yanran asked Xiao Cui to lead the way. In fact, she already knew where An Qingran's room was as soon as she entered Yuehua Temple, but she still pretended not to know. She asked a little monk and then ran to An Qingran's room!

Just after turning around the Moon Gate, An Yanran saw Rendong, who was dressed in pink, standing in front of a door. When she saw a group of people coming suddenly, a trace of panic appeared on her face. In An Yanran's eyes, she felt more confident. Obviously, An Qingran had disappeared just as her mother had expected!

When Jin Dong saw a group of beautiful women coming over, except for An Yanran and Xiao Cui at the head, he didn't recognize the rest. He couldn't help but feel stunned. He took a step back unconsciously and leaned against the door. Then he came to his senses and bowed slightly to An Yanran and everyone else.

Seeing Ren Dong's actions, An Yanran knew what was going on. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Ren Dong, my sister is in the room. Please let her know that we are here to visit her!"

A trace of doubt flashed across Ren Dong's face: "This... the eldest lady has ordered that she will concentrate on copying scriptures today and will not see any guests!"

"We are not guests. We just haven't seen our sister for more than a month and we are very worried!" An Yanran murmured.

"Yes, your second young lady was crying just now because she missed you!" Chen Wei said with a smile beside him.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Honeysuckle's face: "The eldest lady is fine, the second lady can rest assured. I can convey the second lady's greetings during dinner!"

An Yanran heard her push and push, and she knew better. She couldn't help but feel overjoyed, but she showed an embarrassment on her face: "Although my sister has instructed you to do so, it is wrong for you to refuse without notifying me. You can go in and report. If my sister says she doesn't want to see me, I will be relieved. Now that I can't see my sister, and I only hear your one-sided words, I can't believe it. I'm afraid that my sister doesn't know how she is going to be. You servants don't know how to feel sorry for her..."

Honeysuckle thought: "What the second young lady said makes sense, but it's not that I don't care about the young lady. The young lady is in good health, but today is the 21st of February, the birthday of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. The eldest young lady has made a vow to copy and recite 100 scriptures. I'm afraid a whole day is not enough, so I closed the door to visitors! Therefore, please go back first, and come back tomorrow. The young lady will have finished copying the scriptures, and the second young lady can also see the eldest young lady. Isn't it the best of both worlds? Sisters miss each other, and one day is not a big deal, right?"

An Yanran was shocked when she heard this. Rendong spoke so convincingly. She was just a servant and it was not right for her to talk about the birthdays of various Bodhisattvas. Could it be that An Qingran really said that she was in there?

But how is it possible? If she was in there, why would her stepmother and father behave so strangely? There is no reason for them to return home first, and they only stayed for one day before returning to Yuehua Temple!

If I really go back like this, wouldn't all my efforts be wasted?

An Yanran gritted her teeth and decided that she must go in today no matter what. She would go in and visit An Qingran. Even if she was there, she would not be criticized because of their deep sisterly love. But if An Qingran was really not there, then things would have to develop according to her wishes.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. How about this? Just let me in quietly, and I'll take a look at my sister from a distance. If she's okay, I won't persuade her, but help her pray and copy scriptures together. It's better than her doing the asceticism alone! That's it, okay?"

As she spoke, she walked around Honeysuckle and tried to push the door.

Ren Dong hurriedly stood in front of An Yanran, her face panicked: "Second Miss, you must not do this. The eldest lady said that when copying scriptures and making wishes, sincerity and concentration are the most important things. You must not be disturbed. If you really break in, the Bodhisattva will punish you. Second Miss, you are..."

"Are you cursing me?" An Yanran's eyes widened and her voice became louder when she heard this.
