"What the girl means is..."
"If they can't dig in such a large area at the foot of Huaiyu Mountain, they will definitely blame Xie Xiulin for not asking for the specific location. So, they will definitely come again."
Wan Ruo's eyes became fiercer: "I'm just waiting."
-
Sure enough, within three days, Xie Xiulin came again.
Wanruo was checking the accounts when she saw her walk in with red and swollen eyes.
"What's wrong with you?"
Xie Xiulin lowered his head in embarrassment. "Sixth sister's marriage hasn't been settled recently, and Third Madam is mad at me, saying it's bad luck for me. She told me to go to the temple and chant sutras to get rid of the bad luck. I can't come back until I've chanted ten times."
Wan Ruo frowned slightly: "Third Madam, you're being too extreme. What does this have to do with you?"
Xie Xiulin sobbed, "I'm so miserable. Not only is that temple remote and desolate, it's also shabby. The Third Madam wants to humiliate me. I've been there ten times, and I don't know when I'll be able to go back. I'm really scared to go there alone."
Wanruo pondered for a moment, then said, "Then I'll go with you."
Xie Xiulin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"
"Don't be sad, I'll go with you and help you a little. You'll be able to go tomorrow at the latest."
"Wanruo, thank you!" Xie Xiulin's eyes were blurred with tears.
Wanruo asked Suyue to prepare a carriage, and then she went to Jingxin Temple with Xie Xiulin.
This temple is located in the suburbs of Beijing, which is indeed a bit out of the way. It took the carriage a full half hour to finally arrive.
"Wanruo, I'm glad you're with me. This temple looks deserted. I don't know how scared I would be if I came here alone. Now that you're here, I won't be afraid anymore." Xiulin held her hand tightly.
As Wanruo and she entered the temple together, the old nun said fiercely, "Are you the concubine from the Xie family? Go to the meditation room and change your clothes first. Who are you showing off your fancy attire to?"
"Yes." Xie Xiulin agreed hurriedly and pulled Wanruo to the meditation room to change clothes.
A little nun led the way for them.
When they reached the door of the Zen room, Xie Xiulin wanted to pull her in eagerly, but Wanruo stopped outside the door.
"Xiu Lin, do you really want me to accompany you?" She turned and looked at her.
A flash of panic flashed across Xie Xiulin's eyes, and he forced a smile: "Of course."
Wanruo was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Tuo."
Xie Xiulin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly took her hand and led her inside.
But just as Xie Xiulin pushed open the door, she was suddenly pushed hard from behind, and she stumbled and fell inside.
At the same time, Yuan Zhao, who was hiding behind the door, pounced on him with lustful eyes.
"ah!"
Yuan Zhao didn't recognize who it was. His original intention was to push Xu Wanruo in. He wanted to teach this dead girl a lesson, but he didn't expect to hold the wrong person.
"Master Yuan, it's not me, it's not me!" Xie Xiulin shouted hurriedly.
Yuan Zhao reacted belatedly, and just when he was feeling unlucky, a big stick suddenly hit him in the face.
"Ah!" Yuan Zhao screamed, fell to the ground and fainted.
Xie Xiulin looked at Xu Wanruo in horror as she was standing outside the door. She was holding a long stick in her hand and looking at her expressionlessly.
"Xiulin, is this your arrangement?"
Xie Xiulin hurriedly said, "Sister Wanruo, I don't know. I don't know anything. Why is this Mr. Yuan here?"
When the little nun saw what was happening, she immediately turned around and tried to run away, but she was caught by Su Yue and her men after she had only taken a few steps.
"I don't know anything, I don't know anything!" The little nun waved her hands in fear.
Su Yue took out a pill, pinched her mouth and stuffed it into her mouth.
Wanruo looked at her and said, "This medicine is extremely poisonous. If you don't have an antidote within two quarters of an hour, you will bleed to death. I'm the only one with the antidote. If you want to live, go find Xie Xiuyun right now and tell her that you've done it. Let her come and watch the fun."
