Their idea was simple. No matter whether they could make Lu Ziyan panic or not, they would not lose anything anyway.
The only thing that was damaged was her reputation.
After all, when a woman suddenly disappears, it is never something that people can think positively of in the eyes of the public.
For a 'test' of theirs, she was going to risk her entire reputation. Why?
Moreover, she had a premonition that if something happened to her, whether true or false, that madman might really abandon everything and come looking for her.
The war in the northern border is in full swing. The people living on the border are about to get rid of decades of foreign invasions and see the dawn of hope. This is related to the safety of thousands of people. Xie Wan Ning cannot affect the war for his own selfish reasons.
She refused to cooperate with them not because of Lu Ziyan!
But Concubine Xian and the eldest prince obviously didn't think so, and the mother and son both had cold eyes.
He believed that she still had feelings for Lu Ziyan and didn't want to drag him down.
They didn't say much. Concubine Xian's eyes were as gentle as ever, with a hint of smile on her lips. "Wanwan doesn't want to, so how can your aunt embarrass you? In this case, we will think of other ways."
If Xie Wan Ning didn't know the cause of her own death in her previous life, she might have been deceived by her gentle and amiable appearance.
Maybe you will be deeply moved.
But now, she just felt a chill down her spine, fearing that the other party would take out a bracelet or give her something else.
But until she left, Concubine Xian did not give her any gifts.
However, Xie Wan Ning did not dare to feel relieved. As soon as she returned home, she asked Pei Er to ask for the doctor that Pei Yuqing had specially left behind when he left.
It is said that he is a famous miracle doctor in the Jiangnan area.
Specializes in various difficult and complicated diseases and secret techniques of poisons.
The miracle doctor was over sixty years old, with white hair and beard, but his hands were very steady when he felt the patient's pulse.
Fearing that she had been poisoned without knowing it, Xie Wan Ning confirmed again and again that she was not poisoned, and then pulled Pei Yuxuan, who was sitting beside her, to ask the miracle doctor to treat her.
Finally, I was completely relieved after making sure that both of them were fine.
Pei Yuxuan was shocked by the scene of inviting a doctor as soon as she came back. "The Concubine Xian is my sister-in-law's aunt. Why do I feel that you treat her Yanxiang Palace as a den of dragons and tigers?"
She was raised in seclusion, so how could she understand the twists and turns of government affairs? Xie Wan Ning didn't want to explain too much to her, so she just smiled bitterly and said, "It's because your brother asked me to take good care of myself before he left, so I ate a few more bites of crab meat in the palace..."
This reason was a bit far-fetched. Afraid that Pei Yuxuan would continue to ask, she quickly changed the subject, "In two days, Lin'er and I are going to the Marriage Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to burn incense. Do you want to go with us?"
Sure enough, Pei Yuxuan heard that she didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she also responded: "Go ahead, I just happen to have nothing to do."
Then she added, "I remember that the Marriage Temple is very close to our hot spring resort. In the past, every autumn and winter, I would go there to stay for a few days and take a hot spring bath. Why don't you accompany me there for a few days, sister-in-law?"
Autumn is the time to maintain health, especially for pampered girls.
When Xie Wan Ning heard this, she also wanted to take a comfortable hot spring bath, so she nodded and agreed.
A few days later, after informing Princess Duanyang, Xie Wan Ning took the two unmarried girls from the Pei family and boarded a carriage to the outskirts of the city.
It was already very cold in the capital in late autumn. Outside the Marriage Temple, Xie Wan Ning did not accompany them inside, but walked along the nearby path.
Pei Yuxuan came out the fastest, with empty hands, not even a pair of love knots sold in the temple.
"Have you asked for a fortune?" Xie Wan Ning asked.
"No," Pei Yuxuan said nonchalantly, "I wanted to burn some incense, but there were so many people inside, and I couldn't bear to squeeze with them."
Xie Wan Ning couldn't help but persuade him, "Your wedding date is still a few months away. You're about to get married. After all, it's a lifelong event for a girl. Now that you're here, you should go and burn some incense, even if it's just for a good omen."
Pei Yuxuan held the hand warmer in one hand and twisted the sweet-scented osmanthus cake with the other, saying, "Whether your marriage is smooth or not is up to you. It has nothing to do with burning incense. If you can get a perfect husband by praying to the gods, then this marriage temple would not only have these people coming."
It's a bunch of heresy and they are saying this from the inside of a marriage temple.
If the eldest princess were here, she would probably say something to her, but Xie Wan Ning was about the same age as her sister-in-law and had no prestige. Upon hearing this, she could only shake her head and sigh.
The aunt and sister-in-law sat in the pavilion waiting for Pei Lin to come out.
Pei Yuxuan made herself a cup of hot tea, and suddenly said, as if she had thought of something, "Speaking of which, sister-in-law, have you noticed that Pei Lin is a little strange?"
Xie Wan Ning was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"In fact, I'm not that familiar with her. I just felt that she was a little..." Pei Yuxuan paused and said slowly, "a little absent-minded and a little nervous."
Xie Wan Ning said: "It is understandable that a girl who is currently discussing marriage would be nervous when coming to the Marriage Temple."
She and Pei Lin were not very familiar with each other, but she often came to Xuanhuayuan to talk to her. After all, she called her aunt, and Xie Wan Ning couldn't refuse her. It would be a lie to say that they had feelings for each other.
But come to think of it, how many girls waiting to get married can be as nonchalant and unnerved as the little princess?
Pei Yuxuan thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, so she didn't bring it up again and waited for someone to come out.
Compared to Pei Yuxuan who just went there and came out, Pei Lin was very sincere to the marriage temple. He burned incense, asked for divination, and went there to tell fortunes.
When he finally came out, his face didn't look very good.
There was a hint of paleness on her pretty face.
Xie Wan Ning and Pei Yu Xuan looked at each other, but neither of them asked.
