The scene, which lasted less than three seconds, stunned Jiang Muyu for a long time and he couldn't recover.

What happened just now? Why didn't she have any memory of these things before? Who was that boy?

Liang Qingchen saw her absent-minded look, so he put Tangtang down, walked over and asked, "Zhao Zhao, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Muyu looked at him, staring at his handsome features for a long time, then slowly raised her hand and touched him. This person was right in front of her, so real, so tactile, and so warm.

She gradually became suspicious.

How could this be the paper man in the novel?

Is this world really just a world in a novel?

"Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao?" Liang Qingchen called her twice again.

Jiang Muyu gradually regained his composure and said softly, "I'm fine."

Liang Qingchen obviously didn't believe it, "You didn't look like you were okay just now."

She put down the list, pursed her lips, and said, "Liang Qingchen, I want to go to Putuo Temple again tomorrow."

"What are you going to do at Putuo Temple?"

"There are some things I need to figure out."

He frowned and said, "But I have an errand tomorrow, so I'm afraid I can't go with you."

"That's fine. I can go by myself."

"Okay, remember to bring Yunshan with you, she's better at martial arts."

"Um."

…

The next day, it started raining as Jiang Muyu was leaving the city in a carriage.

Yunshan looked outside and complained, "Why does it always rain every time I go to Putuo Temple?"

Jiang Muyu took a sip from the teacup and said, "Maybe it's to test my sincerity."

Yun Xuan said: "But this mountain road may be difficult to walk on."

Jiang Muyu said: "We got out early today, so if we walk slowly we can still reach the mountain before noon."

Yunshan was puzzled and asked, "Madam, why do you insist on going to Putuo Temple today?"

Jiang Muyu sighed, "If I don't understand some things, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night and lose my appetite."

They both said in unison: "What's the matter?"

She shook her head.

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, the two of them did not dare to ask any more questions.

The road was muddy due to the rain, and the carriage bumped along for a long time before suddenly stopping.

Yunshan opened the window curtain and looked out, saying, "Why did we stop before we even reach the foot of the mountain?"

The coachman outside said, "Madam, there is a carriage ahead that is stuck in a mud pit and can't get out for a while. The road is too narrow and it is blocked and can't pass through."

Yun Xuan said: "I'll go down and take a look."

Jiang Muyu nodded, "Go with an umbrella, don't get wet."

"yes."

Yun Xuan got off the carriage holding an oil-paper umbrella.

After a while, he came back, opened a corner of the curtain, and said, "My lady, the carriage in front is Princess Rong'an's."

"Oh?" This was unexpected. Jiang Muyu frowned. "Shouldn't she be preparing for her wedding now? How come she still has time to come to Putuo Temple?"

"I don't know."

Jiang Muyu thought for a moment and ordered, "Go and invite Princess Rong An over, and send a few guards to help pull the carriage out of the mud pit."

"Yes." Yun Xuan lowered the car curtain and walked over again.

Over there, Princess Rong An was standing on the side of the road, with a maid beside her holding an oil-paper umbrella. A few steps ahead, two guards were working with the coachman to try to pull the carriage stuck in the mud out, but after a long while, the carriage only moved forward a little bit.

Her face was calm and her eyes were dead. She just watched without saying a word, standing there like a sculpture.

The maidservant beside her saw Yun Xuan coming, followed by several sword-carrying guards, and whispered, "Princess, the maidservant beside Princess Rui is coming."

Princess Rong An still did not make any movement.

Yun Xuan came up to her and bowed, "Princess, our princess wants you to sit in the carriage for a while. These are the guards of our palace. The princess sent them to help you pull the carriage."

"Yeah." She just nodded slightly.

The maid smiled at Yun Xuan and said, "Please lead the way, young lady."

"Okay." Yun Xuan gestured, "Princess, please follow me."

Not long after, the curtain of the carriage was opened again, and Yun Xuan came in with Princess Rong An.

"My lady, the princess has arrived."

Jiang Muyu said, "Princess, please come in."

Princess Rong An took off her muddy shoes before walking in, "Rong An has met Princess Rui."

"Princess, there is no need to be so polite. It's raining heavily outside. You must be wet. Come in and have some tea to warm yourself up." As he said that, Jiang Muyu personally poured her a cup of tea.

Princess Rong An sat down opposite her, "Thank you, cousin."

She picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Jiang Muyu said, "I haven't seen you for a while. The princess looks much younger."

Princess Rong An has not only lost a lot of weight, her entire temperament has changed. Although she was not fat before, she was quite plump and always looked energetic.

Now he has lost a lot of weight, his chin has become noticeably sharper, his eyes are slightly sunken, and his complexion has become pale, making him look somewhat sick.

Princess Rong An's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly, "I'm sorry to bother you, sister-in-law. I've been bedridden lately, and I've been feeling unwell, which has caused me to lose my appetite."

"Nothing serious is good."

Then, the two of them were speechless.

Jiang Muyu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip to cover it up.

After a while, Princess Rong An spoke again, saying, "My aunt did a lot of wrong things for me a few days ago. I will apologize to my sister-in-law on her behalf."

Jiang Muyu shook her head. "The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, and you are you. It is not right for you to apologize on her behalf."

She was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand that I can never repay my aunt for her kindness to me, but I also cannot seek forgiveness for the bad things she did to others. I just hope I can share some of the burden."

"It seems that the princess didn't know about that matter at first?" Jiang Muyu raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Princess Rong An said, "At that time, I was still... in a coma, and my aunt was worried about me, so she tried to find a doctor. I later learned about this and was extremely opposed to it."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"I don't have that kind of thought towards my cousin." She smiled bitterly. "Besides, my cousin was seriously injured in order to save me. How can I repay kindness with hatred?"

Jiang Muyu pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Princess Rong An continued in a self-centered manner, "This time I am sorry to the young master of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion. It is my parents' order and the matchmaker's words. I plan to tell him the truth on the wedding night. If he cannot accept it, I will ask to leave the marriage."

Jiang Muyu suddenly felt a little sympathetic towards her. In ancient times, chastity was valued by women. At her age, she should have been waiting to be married and dreaming of a happy marriage in the future, but she didn't expect it to be gone overnight.

She was not very good at comforting people, so she took out a small dish of candied fruit from the shelf beside her and put it on the table, smiling and saying, "I heard that eating sweets can make you feel much better. Do you want to try it?"

Princess Rong An looked at her and was stunned for a moment. The woman opposite her smiled with her eyebrows curved and her whole body seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.

She suddenly felt a warm current flowing through her heart, and subconsciously reached out and took a piece of the candied fruit and put it into her mouth.

The sweet taste spread in the mouth, as if... life was not so bitter anymore.

After a while, the guards outside reported, "Madam, the carriage in front has been pulled out."

Princess Rong An stood up and said goodbye, "Rong An, take your leave."

"Okay, Princess, take care." Jiang Muyu nodded at her.

After Princess Rong'an's carriage started moving, they also began to hurry on. With the experience of the previous car, they deliberately avoided the center of the mud pit and drove to the side. Although it was still a bit difficult, they finally got through safely.

They soon arrived at the foot of Mount Putuo. Jiang Muyu set off with light gear, and the group climbed to the top of the mountain in half an hour.

After entering the temple gate, a little nun came to lead the way. Jiang Muyu still went to the main hall to burn three incense sticks and donated some incense money.

After walking out of the main hall, Jiang Muyu grabbed a little nun and asked, "Little Master, I want to ask where I can find Master Huiming."

The young nun was silent for a moment, then said, "Female donor, Master Huiming has already... passed away."

Jiang Muyu's heart skipped a beat and his eyes widened instantly.
