Seeing Wu Junrou getting angry, Mother Shen hurried forward to comfort her, "Madam, he's just a blind man, don't be angry. But now Cui Xiaoxiao won't help, can you think of other ways? Otherwise, if we just wait for Song Wanning to come back from outside, it will be difficult for us to take action again."
"I know this too well." Wu Junrou sneered and said to Mother Shen, "Let me think about it and come up with a good solution."
Mother Shen was standing by, giving Wu Junrou some advice. "Madam, even though the Yin family elders couldn't do anything to the Prime Minister before, can't they also control these two from the Lu family? Why not invite all the Yin family elders over here, ask them to support you, Madam, and then attack the Prime Minister's Mansion. Then, the power of the housekeeper will be in your hands."
When Wu Junrou heard this, she just raised her head and smiled at Mother Shen, "You are right. I will do as you say."
Wu Junrou immediately began to contact the elders of the clan, thinking of attacking the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Song Wanning had just left the city not long ago.
Song Wanning was in the carriage. She was traveling light now. Fortunately, her belly didn't look very big at the moment. She was in good health on weekdays, so even being in the carriage was not too tiring.
Song Wanning was on her way when she heard the driver in front of her suddenly say, "Madam, there is a young man here."
"Young Master?" Song Wanning traveled light on this trip, bringing only Xique, a maid, so that she could go and come back quickly.
Song Wanning felt strange after hearing this, and immediately lifted the screen window to look outside, and saw Pei Xuanzhi in front of her. Song Wanning was surprised and asked, "Xuanzhi? Why are you here?"
Pei Xuanzhi saw Song Wanning and immediately jumped off his horse. He said to her, "I heard you were out of the city, so I rode a fast horse to meet you. Now I finally see you. Although I don't know where you are going, I know you are in a hurry, so I came here specifically to go with you."
Seeing Pei Xuanzhi like this, Song Wanning quickly said, "Xuanzhi, you are busy at home, so you don't have to go with me. I will be back soon."
Pei Xuanzhi refused to give in and immediately turned to Song Wanning and said, "If it weren't for you and the Prime Minister helping me these days, I would have been dead by now. You guys saved me and the Prime Minister was imprisoned. If I had just ignored it, who knows how things would have turned out. I followed you not expecting to be of much help, but at least it would give me peace of mind."
Song Wanning had always known Pei Xuanzhi's temperament. She just looked at him and said, "Okay then. I just don't know if you told your uncle and aunt that you came to see me. If you don't, I'm afraid they will be worried after not seeing you for so many days."
After hearing this, Pei Xuanzhi looked at Song Wanning and said, "Don't worry, I have already informed them, and they know about this." As Pei Xuanzhi said this, he got on the carriage and followed Song Wanning forward.
The three of them went all the way to Yuanfeng Mountain outside.
"Why are we coming to this mountain?" Pei Xuanzhi looked at the top of the mountain, quite confused.
"This Yuanfeng Mountain was a gathering place for bandits a long time ago. My father wiped out the area many years ago, and the mountain has been deserted. I came here for no other reason than to visit an old man on the mountain." Song Wanning looked at Pei Xuanzhi beside her and said slowly, "I heard that this old man is very good at fortune-telling. If you seek help from him, no matter how great the disaster is, it will be turned into good fortune and auspiciousness will come to you."
Pei Xuanzhi looked at Song Wanning, hesitant to speak, and after a moment's pause, he said, "Wanning, are you so worried that you've actually thought of coming to pray to the Buddha for peace of mind?"
Song Wanning only smiled faintly after hearing this. She looked at Pei Xuan beside her and knew, "I came here not for anything else but to find peace of mind."
Pei Xuanzhi sighed and said to Song Wanning, "If this temple can really bring you peace of mind, then this trip won't be in vain."
Song Wanning just smiled faintly, got off the carriage and walked up the mountain.
Yuanfeng Temple on Yuanfeng Mountain was built not long ago, but it is very popular because there are enlightened monks in the temple. Fortunately, today is neither the first nor the fifteenth day of the month, so the temple is not so crowded that people can't get in.
Song Wanning and Pei Xuanzhi walked all the way up to the temple. When they reached the center of the temple, they looked at the people in front of them and asked, "Excuse me, is the abbot here?"
When the young monk saw Song Wanning, he immediately clasped his hands together and said to her, "Amitabha, female donor, although the abbot is here, he is busy with temple affairs and may not have time to see you. I don't know why you want to see the abbot. If it's something important, I will go and tell him."
Seeing this, Song Wanning quickly said to the young monk, "I came here today to see the abbot for something important. Please let this young monk pass on the message."
Seeing this, the young monk glanced at Song Wanning and Pei Xuanzhi beside him, who looked exhausted. He immediately said to Song Wanning, "Sir, please sit on a bench nearby for a while. I'll go find the abbot and get back to you."
Song Wanning responded and paced back and forth in the courtyard, waiting for the little monk's reply.
Song Wanning didn't have to wait long before the young monk came running out in a hurry and said to her, "Sir, please come this way. Our abbot is here to welcome you."
Song Wanning thanked him and followed the little monk to the room in the backyard. He made a gesture of invitation to Song Wanning.
Pei Xuanzhi was about to follow when he heard the young monk beside him say, "Please wait here for a moment, our abbot said that he only saw the female donor."
Although Pei Xuanzhi frowned, he did not make things difficult for the young monk.
Song Wanning entered the courtyard and was greeted by the abbot, who was sitting on a cushion, beating a wooden fish and chanting Buddhist scriptures. Song Wanning approached the abbot and said, "Master Abbot, I have come here today for you. Please listen to me."
Seeing this, the abbot stood up and looked at Song Wanning, asking, "Where are you from?"
"From the capital." Song Wanning looked at the abbot and immediately said, "Master Abbot, there is a big chaos in the capital now. We ask you to come out and solve this disaster. We have gone through so much trouble to find you, Master, just so that you can help us."
The abbot was quite surprised when he heard this, "You actually know me? How do you know me?"
