Chapter 353: Defilement of the Buddhist Temple
The two maids carefully helped the Fourth Prince's wife leave. Tang Ning looked up at the eldest princess and the other two.
"Although the Fourth Prince has been down and out lately, he is still the grandson of the Emperor and the son of His Majesty. The misunderstanding between the Empress and His Majesty will eventually be resolved. When the Princess and Princess Ji want to humiliate the Fourth Prince's wife, shouldn't they also consider His Majesty's dignity? Or do you not even care about His Majesty?"
Princess Leyang angrily shouted, "Song Tangning, if you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I'll have your mouth ripped off?!"
Tang Ning said coldly: "Princess, try it."
She didn't retreat at all.
"You are of noble status, but the Fourth Prince's wife is equally noble. It would have been fine if you had bullied a minister several times, but now you've even humiliated the Emperor's son and his wife. The Fourth Prince's wife is kind-hearted and treats people with sincerity. If you dare to touch me, she will report your evil deeds to His Majesty."
Tang Ning stood by the water, next to a willow tree. Under the obscurity of its branches in the night, only Princess Leyang, who was facing her, could clearly see the provocation on her face.
Princess Leyang's expression of having the protection of the Fourth Prince's wife and being successful made her speak without thinking.
"That bitch Zhao Yinxuan, you think she's treating you well, but she's just playing both sides and trying to use you to curry favor with Xiao Yan..."
Tang Ning snorted, "Stop talking nonsense. My brother is only loyal to His Majesty. Besides, the Fourth Prince's wife is kind and beautiful. She even gave me the Buddhist beads she had been asking for for years to protect me. How could she be as vicious as the eldest princess, always hoping that others would not have peace of mind?"
"Those who do good accumulate blessings, while those who do evil bring disaster to their descendants. Princess, please accumulate more blessings for yourself and the people in the Princess Mansion."
After she finished speaking, she didn't bother to pay attention to Princess Leyang. She just greeted Yuejian and turned away.
Princess Leyang was so angry that she almost fell over, shaking all over and cursing "bitch" over and over.
She was a little hesitant at first, but she didn't expect Song Tangning to be so hateful. He really thought that it was a big deal to please that bitch Zhao Yinxuan.
She will definitely make her lose her reputation and die a miserable death! !
…
"Tang Ning." Rong Yue glanced at her niece on the way back: "Are you... going to do something?"
Others don’t know what the Fourth Prince’s wife did, but Rong Yue knows it. Given Tang Ning’s personality, why would he suddenly become friends with her and even speak for her in front of others?
Tang Ning smiled and said, "Nothing, I just think people's hearts are quite interesting."
The more she understood the complexity of human nature and the unpredictable human heart, the more she understood what her brother had said to her, and why he became what he became.
"Aunt, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
The full moon is bright and hangs high in the sky.
Rong Yue looked up at the sky, then at the little girl beside her whose face was growing bigger and bigger, and whose appearance was becoming more and more like her sister. "Auntie won't ask what you want to do, but you must be careful. If there is any danger, don't hide it from me."
Tang Ning hugged her arm and rubbed it: "Aunt is the best."
Xue Ru was walking by, looking at him with some envy. She couldn't help but slow down her pace. But the next moment, Tang Ning turned around and said, "Aru, what are you doing? Come here!"
Xue Ru immediately grinned, trotting to Tang Ning's side, holding her arm and whispering, "Sister."
…
Lingyun Temple is located halfway up the mountain. It is the only place with houses within a radius of several miles. At night, the mountain is pitch black, and only the main hall and other halls in the temple are lit all year round.
Tang Ning and Xue Ru had not fallen asleep yet when they heard from outside that Qian Qiyue was looking for her urgently.
Xue Ru whispered: "Sister..."
"It's okay, you take a rest first."
Tang Ning patted her head and stood up. When she got outside, she saw the maid waiting at the bottom of the stairs: "It's so late, what does Sister Qian want to talk to me about?"
The maid said anxiously, "My daughter went hiking up the mountain behind us at night out of play and accidentally fell and hurt her leg. We didn't bring any medicine with us when we came to Lingyun Temple this time. Madam asked me to come and ask if the county lady has any medicine. She wants to get some to stop the bleeding for my daughter."
"Sister Qian is injured? Where is she?"
"In the small Buddhist temple on the back mountain, the girl's leg injury is quite serious. She was placed there after coming down from the back mountain. It is temporarily difficult to move her. Madam asked me to find medicine first."
Tang Ning's face suddenly showed anxiety, and he turned around and said, "Yue Jian, go get the medicine!"
Yue Jian quickly turned around and went back into the house, but after a moment she came out. Tang Ning led the people and followed the maid towards the small Buddhist temple in the back mountain.
After walking for a while, she said casually, "By the way, what's your name? Why haven't I seen you around Sister Qian before?"
"My servant Liuzhi is from Madam's courtyard."
The maidservant seemed anxious and walked very quickly: "When I came here, the girl had lost a lot of blood. Can the county lady please hurry up?"
Tang Ning nodded: "Okay."
The small Buddhist temple was said to be close to the back mountain, but in fact it was not too far from the wing room. When Tang Ning went there, he vaguely saw someone in the room. She was also wearing the same dress that Qian Qiyue wore during the day, and several people who looked like servants surrounded her.
A faint smell of blood filled the Buddhist hall. Tang Ning hurried forward and squatted beside the person, saying urgently: "Sister Yue, why are you..."
Swish——
A splash of powder was thrown towards him, and Tang Ning was caught off guard and was blinded. Yue Jian was following Tang Ning, and when he realized something was wrong and was about to take action, someone also threw powder at him.
Like Tang Ning, she was caught off guard and before she could resist, someone chopped her neck with a knife.
Yue Jian fell to the ground with a bang, but Tang Ning just looked dizzy. The people opposite her looked at her in a trance, staggering and holding on to the pillar, almost unable to stand.
"You...what do you want to do..." Tang Ning shook his head, his voice trembling.
"Of course, it is to let the county lord experience the ultimate happiness on earth."
"You...are so outrageous...my brother won't forgive you..."
Tang Ning's voice became weaker and weaker. He wanted to walk out, but stumbled and fell to the ground.
The people in front of the door laughed: "That will have to wait until the county lady enjoys it."
The person who originally dressed up as Qian Qiyue stood up and said, "Go and bring the person over."
Several people dragged Yuejian and threw her behind the Buddhist hall, while the others cleaned up the traces in the inner room and retreated. They stood outside for a while, and then a handsome male prostitute was brought in.
"The person is in there, I leave it to you. If anything goes wrong..."
"Don't worry, my lord. I will serve the county lady well."
The door of the Buddhist hall was pushed open and then closed heavily. The brown gauze hanging in the inner room fluttered lightly, and several of the lit lamps were blown out by the wind.
The standing Buddha statue lowered its eyes to gaze at the world, with majesty and compassion.
In the dim light, the male waiter walked in and looked around, then saw a young woman lying on a mat not far away. From looking at her, he found that she seemed to have taken drugs, her face was flushed, her eyes were blurred, and she looked unbearable, and she was making unclear moans from her mouth.
He tentatively reached out to undress her. Driven by the drugs, the woman leaned over and wrapped herself around him. The two were entangled together in just a moment.
The sounds of a man's heavy breathing and a woman's pleasure could be heard.
When people outside heard the noise, they all smiled.
"It's done!"
Princess Leyang showed a smug look on her face after hearing the news. She wanted to see if the usually noble Song Tangning could still smile after falling into the quagmire!
It was a quiet night and all the pilgrims in the temple had fallen asleep, but a sudden scream woke everyone up. Lights appeared dotted around the entire wing and people became agitated.
