Yu Tang thinks both are fine.

What she didn't expect was that when the two of them decided to visit Yongfu Temple, they ran into Pei Yan and Yin Hao head-on.

Before Yin Hao was sent to Huai'an, he stayed in the Hanlin Academy for six years. He often visited Yin Mingyuan and often went to the Xu residence for meals. He watched Miss Xu grow up, and Miss Xu was lively and lovely, so he liked her very much and treated her more like a sister than a sister-in-law.

Miss Xu is also very close to Yin Hao.

When she saw Yin Hao, she immediately went up to him joyfully.

"Second brother!" she said coquettishly, "Where have you been? We have been waiting for a long time!"

Yin Hao smiled and nodded to Miss Xu, but his eyes involuntarily fell on Yu Tang.

Yu Tang was wearing a light green plain jacket, but her lips were rosy, her hair was black, her skin was white, and she stood there gracefully, more beautiful than a flower in spring.

He couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"

Miss Xu hurriedly introduced him: "Miss Yu. She is a good friend I made after I went to Lin'an City. This time, she is here to accompany me to Hangzhou City as a host."

Yin Hao had heard about her from Mrs. Yang San before, but he had never imagined that she was so beautiful, with clear eyes and a calm demeanor.

It would be great if I could become the daughter-in-law of the Yin family.

While greeting Yu Tang, he was wondering in his heart whether there were any suitable children in the Yin family.

Pei Yan, however, was already impatient waiting. He asked Yu Tang, "Where are you going?"

They had already met Tao Qing. Knowing that Wang Qibao would support Tao An in his bid for the post of governor of Jiangxi, Tao Qing went down the mountain to prepare gifts for Wang Qibao.

Seeing that there were outsiders present, Yu Tang continued to give Pei Yan face and said, "We are going to visit Yongfu Temple."

Yongfu Temple is smaller and its style is completely different from Lingyin Temple.

Pei Yan asked Yin Hao: "Let's go there and have a look."

Yin Hao widened his eyes in surprise.

How could they, two grown men, go to visit a temple with two little girls?

Pei Yan realized that he had said something wrong and said hurriedly, "Let's go over there and talk!"

Yin Hao had no doubts and said to Miss Xu with a smile, "You can cover for us and let us follow you from a distance."

This is OK.

Ms. Xu readily agreed

Pei Yan began to rack his brains to think of how to get Yin Hao away.

But when they just arrived at the side gate of Lingyin Temple, they actually met Gu Chang.

"Ms. Yu!" He was surprised and delighted, and said, "We are really destined to meet!"

Yu Tang was very surprised, and nodded to Gu Chang with a smile, as a greeting. But Yin Hao said, "Chaoyang, why didn't you invite me when you came to Lingyin Temple? I thought you were out doing something, and you brought Xiaguang with you. He always has a stern face when doing anything, which is the most boring. If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have invited him!"

His tone was full of complaints.

Those who were familiar with him knew that he was joking with Pei Yan. Those who were not familiar with him thought that he was disdaining Pei Yan.

Of course Gu Chang wouldn't take it seriously.

He chuckled.

Pei Yan, who shouldn't have taken it seriously, glanced at Yu Tang and saw that Yu Tang looked calm. Thinking of Tao Qing's words, he felt cold in his heart and his face turned dark.

Without thinking, Yin Hao grabbed Gu Chang and said, "Where are you going? We are going to Yongfu Temple for a stroll. Do you want to come with us?"

Gu Chang glanced at Yu Tang and said with a smile, "Okay! I just happened to have nothing to do, and was wondering whether to have a vegetarian feast at Lingyin Temple before going back or go down the mountain right now. Since you are planning to visit Yongfu Temple, why don't you stay at Lingyin Temple for dinner before going back? I'll treat you!"

But when he looked at Yu Tang, the corner of his eye inadvertently glanced at Pei Yan.

He noticed that Pei Yan looked very ugly.

Gu Chang was slightly stunned, thinking that Pei Yan might have taken Yin Hao's joke seriously. If so, he was very narrow-minded and could not take jokes. Then, could Pei Tong have offended Pei Yan because of some trivial matters without knowing it?

It seems that he needs to take this matter to heart and ask Pei Tong about it.

Gu Chang led the way and introduced Yongfu Temple to Yin Hao: "... founded by Zen Master Huili. Like Lingjiu Temple and Lingyin Temple. It was originally called Ziyan Temple, and later changed its name to Yongfu Temple..."

Yin Hao listened absentmindedly, his mind racing, wondering what Pei Yan wanted to say to him? What method could he come up with to leave Gu Chang aside?

Pei Yan fell behind them and gradually approached Miss Xu and Yu Tang.

He suddenly thought this was not a bad idea.

Although Gu Chang is annoying, his presence has delayed Yin Hao, which is a good thing.

He thought about it, then simply slowed down his pace and walked side by side with Miss Xu and Yu Tang.

"When will Miss Xu return to the capital?" Pei Yan asked for the sake of conversation. "I heard from Qingyuan that Miss Xu is going to go to the street in two days to buy some local rituals to bring back. It just so happens that I want to bring some things to Mingyuan and the Zhang family, so I would like to ask Miss Xu for a favor."

Miss Xu was still thinking about the paintings of the master abbot of Lingyin Temple, so she was naturally more enthusiastic towards Pei Yan than usual.

She smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Third Master. When the time comes, you can ask the steward to hand it over to my accompanying maid."

Pei Yan thanked her and thought of a way to talk to Yu Tang: "Miss Yu will be going back to Lin'an City after seeing Miss Xu off, right? Then let's go back together? The governor of Zhejiang will be taking office in the next few days, and if we go back together, we can take care of him."

Before Yu Tang could answer, Miss Xu asked in surprise, "Did Zhejiang change its governor?"

Pei Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "The decree issued last month should arrive in the next few days."

Miss Xu asked, "Who was replaced? What did Mr. Qin do?"

Pei Yan's gaze lingered on Yu Tang for a moment, and he said, "Li Guang, the former governor of Yunnan, was transferred to Zhejiang as the governor, and Mr. Qin was transferred to the capital as the minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Miss Xu has a brother who is the chief clerk of the Ministry of Rites.

She was a little confused.

I wonder if Mrs. Yang San visited Lord Qin during her visit to her old friends.

If I hadn't gone, I don't know if it would be too late to go now.

She thought for a few moments, then asked Pei Yan with a drooling look, "Has Lord Qin's transfer order arrived in Hangzhou?"

Pei Yan said: "It should be here. However, given Lord Qin's personality, he probably won't make it public before Lord Li arrives."

Miss Xu was getting anxious. She whispered to Yu Tang, "Why don't you go to Yongfu Temple first? I have something urgent to tell Ah Fu."

Although Yu Tang didn't know what Mr. Qin's transfer from Zhejiang had to do with Miss Xu, looking at Miss Xu's expression, she suspected that Pei Yan had deliberately told Miss Xu the news, and vaguely felt that Pei Yan wanted to get rid of Miss Xu.

Her heart was beating like a drum.

Should she go along with it and listen to what Pei Yanhui has to say to her? Or should she continue to ignore him and accompany Miss Xu to do her work?

Before Yu Tang could even hesitate, Pei Yan said, "Then I'll wait for you here with Miss Yu! Come back soon."

Lingyin Temple was only a stone's throw away from Yongfu Temple, and they entered through a side gate. There were lush trees and quiet stone paths, but few pilgrims. It really wasn't a good idea to leave Yutang here alone.

Miss Xu replied "OK", said to Yu Tang "I'll be right back", and hurriedly took Ah Fu to talk under a big tree nearby.

Pei Yan's gaze fell on Yu Tang as if it were real.

Yu Tang pretended not to know and looked around as if he was taking in the surrounding scenery.

Pei Yan coughed lightly.

Yu Tang looked over subconsciously.

Pei Yan put his clenched fist in front of his mouth with a tense expression and coughed again.

Yu Tang said, "Did you catch a cold or do you have a sore throat? Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look? If I remember correctly, there is a medical monk in Lingyin Temple. I just don't know how good his medical skills are? How about I let Qinglian accompany you back to take a look?"

Pei Yan's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

After a while, he said with a sullen face, "Are you still angry about me asking you how you knew Gu Chang?"

Gu Chaoyang became Gu Chang.

Yu Tang was very surprised and instinctively denied: "No."

Pei Yan said, "You are lying! Otherwise, why were you not happy at all when I said to raise the tide?"

Yu Tang was choked by the question.

Pei Yan's eyes flashed with pride. He felt that Tao Qing was indeed a brother and very reliable, so he said, "I don't mean anything else. I just find it very strange that Gu Chang would run into you again and again. The Gu family has a house in Hangzhou City. He is now a wealthy man, and returning to the Gu family is considered a return home. Not only did he hide it, he also lived in my place. I was afraid that he had some bad intentions towards you..."

In his past and present lives, Yu Tang hated it most when others had "bad intentions" towards him.

In this life, she has crawled out of the quagmire of her previous life. Why does Pei Yan say that about her?

She was so angry that she jumped up and down, saying: "Third Master, what you said is wrong. I am just the daughter of a poor scholar, born in a humble family, and grew up in the alleys. What is there for others to care about me..."

Before Yu Tang finished speaking, Pei Yan realized that he had said something wrong again, and... this time it was even more serious than last time.

He hurriedly tried to save her, "Look at you, you are a nice little girl, not to mention you act arbitrarily, why do you have such a bad temper? You broke up Gu Xi's engagement, didn't you? Li Duan's family is unlucky because of you, right? What is Gu Chang's background? If he wanted to find out, how could he not find out?"

Yu Tang opened his mouth in shock.

Pei Yan felt relieved, but he said mercilessly: "Can't you be more careful? I'm extremely anxious here, but you're chatting and laughing with Gu Chang over there! Tell me, how do you know Gu Chang? I can analyze it for you."

Only then did Yu Tang realize that she had no chance in this life to get to know Gu Chang before he spoke to her.

How can I cover up this lie?

Sweat broke out on Yu Tang's forehead.

But Pei Yan was still urging her: "Think carefully, when was the first time you met him? What did he say to you? What was his expression at that time?"

He asked anxiously, so Yu Tang had to make up his mind and said, "I really don't remember! Ever since I had that dream, sometimes I can't tell which ones were dreams and which ones were real experiences!"

Pei Yan looked at Yu Tang in shock, with a bad thought in his mind.

Could it be that Gu Chang really has some purpose in getting close to Yu Tang?

Pei Yan wanted to ask Yu Tang more carefully, but Miss Xu had already finished her explanation and was coming over here.

He couldn't say anything more, so he could only tell Yu Tang solemnly: "Don't talk to Gu Chang anymore. I will get to the bottom of this matter."
