Chapter 12 Dajue Temple

"What's your name?" Wen Yingxue asked the girl in black after returning to Xuemei Courtyard.

"I don't have a name. My master calls me Thirty-Eight. Since my master gave me to you, please help me choose a name."

Thirty-eight? Wen Yingxue looked at her in shock. She was one of Nie Chubai's top assassins.

Nie Chubai actually gave it to her like this? As expected, the Yin Order is very important to the boss.

"Then your name should be Zi Su!" Wen Yingxue said.

This name was given to Sanshiba by someone else later. Since that’s the case, let’s call him that.

"Perilla? Hmm, it sounds nice. I will be called Perilla from now on." Perilla was very happy to have a name, and the smile on her face became much brighter.

Wen Yingxue looked at her and felt a little sad, because Zi Su had a miserable ending. She hoped that this time the villain would bet on the right thing and change their fate.

With Zhang locked up in the small dark room, Wen Yingxue had a few days of peace.

Wen Yingxue had nothing to do, so she liked coming to Aunt Lian's yard more and more.

"Sixth Miss is here? Are you here to see Concubine Lian?" Wen Yingxue saw Concubine Yang as soon as she entered the room.

Squinting her eyes, Wen Yingxue stared at Aunt Yang. The original text said that Aunt Yang hated Aunt Lian the most.

Because their looks were equally good, she had to resort to all sorts of tricks to win Father Wen's heart. But Aunt Lian had never done that before.

As long as she stood there quietly, Old Man Wen would be attracted to Aunt Lian.

"It turns out that it's Aunt Yang. What a rare guest!" Wen Yingxue said with a smile. She was relieved when she saw that there was no other expression on Aunt Lian's face.

Aunt Yang smiled and said, "Isn't it time to pay the monthly allowance? I saw Aunt Lian didn't send anyone to collect it, so I delivered it myself."

Wen Yingxue looked at the purse on the table, which was much bigger than before, and nodded to Aunt Yang with a smile.

Aunt Yang laughed even more happily, then stood up and said, "I have delivered the monthly allowance. I won't bother you anymore. I'm going back now."

"I'll see my aunt off." Wen Yingxue said.

Wen Yingxue paused after leaving Concubine Lian's courtyard. Concubine Yang sighed, "Sixth Miss has found a great marriage. She won't have to worry about anything in the future."

Wen Yingxue said, "Fifth sister is better looking and has a better personality than me. She will find a good marriage in the future."

Aunt Yang laughed even more happily.

Wen Yingxue was not talking nonsense. In the original text, Wen Rouqing was short-sighted enough to compete with the heroine Lin Youwan. She even tried to frame her but ended up suffering herself, her reputation was ruined, and she ended up marrying a mediocre family.

Wen Yuyan followed the fifth prince. After he ascended the throne, she became a noble concubine and brought honor to the Wen family.

"It's all thanks to Sixth Miss that I was able to get the right to manage the household. We concubines don't have an easy life. But don't worry, Sixth Miss. As long as I have the right to manage the household, I will definitely take good care of Aunt Lian."

Aunt Yang said this sincerely to Wen Yingxue. Wen Yingxue raised her eyebrows. She already understood what Aunt Yang meant.

"Don't worry, Auntie. You are the most favored person in the mansion. As long as Madam doesn't come out, the power of the housekeeper will be in your hands. No one dares to take it away."

After hearing Wen Yingxue's words, Aunt Yang became even happier.

"In that case, I will definitely take good care of Concubine Lian. Please rest assured, Miss Six."

After seeing off Concubine Yang, Ai Ye asked Wen Yingxue, "Miss, do you really believe what Concubine Yang said?"

"Believe it, because we have a common enemy, and Nie Chubai is behind me. As long as Aunt Lian doesn't compete with her for the right to be the housekeeper, she will not do anything bad to Aunt Lian." Wen Yingxue said.

Soon, early April arrived.

This time the whole family went to Dajue Temple to burn incense, and it was Aunt Yang who arranged it. Wen Yingxue had her own little carriage and didn't have to squeeze with her sisters.

Wen Yingxue was very satisfied, and all she thought in her heart was that Aunt Yang was really a good person.

"The master said that he would wait at Dajue Temple first." Zi Su said as soon as he got on the carriage.

Wen Yingxue nodded, closed her eyes, and began to recall the contents of the novel. She hoped that this time she could obtain the Yin Order, and then she could take Concubine Lian and flee far away.

After swaying for more than half an hour, the carriage finally stopped.

Today is the grand event of Dajue Temple. Wen Yingxue felt it as soon as she got off the carriage. There were huge crowds of people, all of them were rich young men wearing gold and silver, and ladies surrounded by red and jade.

Dajue Temple is worthy of being the largest temple in Beijing. It is solemn and majestic, with fragrance lingering around. The sound of chanting and beating wooden fish can be heard at the foot of the mountain.

Wen Yingxue felt a little uncomfortable. Looking at the temple, she felt a little scared. She didn't know if she was a ghost.

If so, would the monk see through it and regard her as a monster?

No matter how panicked she was inside, Wen Yingxue remained calm on the surface. Facing Wen Rouqing's murderous gaze, she followed the large group into Dajue Temple.

They lined up to burn incense one by one, and then some of the ladies went to the backyard to listen to the monks preach Buddhism, while others went to the meditation room in the backyard to rest.

The young ladies gathered together to draw lots.

"Do you want to go?" Wen Yuyan asked Wen Yingxue.

Wen Yingxue shook her head.

"That's right. Your marriage is already settled. I guess there's nothing much to ask for." Wen Yuyan glanced at Wen Yingxue and left.

Wenrouqing also found the organization and went to play with her cousins.

"If Miss Six is ​​tired, you can go to the Zen room in the backyard to rest, or go to the back mountain to enjoy the scenery." Aunt Yang said, looking at Wen Yingxue who was alone.

"Then I'll go for a walk in the back mountain and be back soon." Wen Yingxue said to Aunt Yang, and then went to the back mountain with mugwort and perilla.

Dajue Temple is built halfway up a high mountain. There are many trees on the back mountain, and one of them is said to be a thousand-year-old cypress tree.

The cliff leading to the underground cave is nearby.

However, Wen Yingxue arrived at an unfortunate time. Under the thousand-year-old cypress tree, many people, both men and women, gathered and seemed to be holding a poetry reading.

Of course, this kind of scene is inseparable from the male protagonist Ye Junyan and the female protagonist Lin Youwan. This is also the first time the two protagonists meet.

"Miss? Why don't you leave?" Ai Ye asked when he saw Wen Yingxue stopped.

"There are too many people there, so I'd better not go." It's too dangerous to be around the hero and heroine, and as a supporting actress, it's better for her not to get close to them.

At this time, Zi Su secretly pulled Wen Yingxue's clothes, and Wen Yingxue immediately understood that Nie Chubai should be nearby.

"Ai Ye, go back to the Zen room and have a rest first. If Aunt Lian asks me where I have been, tell her that I brought Perilla and was enjoying the scenery in the back mountain." Wen Yingxue said to Ai Ye.

Ai Ye didn't quite understand, but nodded obediently and went back.

"Where is it?" Wen Yingxue asked Zisu, and Zisu pointed to the cliff beside the cypress tree.

They found it quite quickly, Wen Yingxue complained in her heart.

Wen Yingxue walked around the crowd and came to the edge of the cliff, where Nie Chubai was standing with his hands behind his back.

To be honest, apart from his crazy personality, Nie Chubai is really handsome. He is the typical person who looks thin when dressed and has muscular body when undressed.
