Chapter 1013 Dividing the Spoils
Yutan Temple is famous for its vegetarian food, and wealthy people from surrounding cities often go up the mountain just to have a vegetarian meal.
Just as Lin Yuesha was about to leave, she saw Sun Xiangxiang walk up to her with her maid.
Sun Xiangxiang rolled her eyes at Lin Yuesha, completely ignoring her, and then smiled at Qi Heng, bowing and saying, "Young General Qi."
"Miss Sun must be very favored at home."
Uya looked down on Sun Xiangxiang, a green tea bitch, whose eyes were glued to other women's husbands and who wished she could pounce on her.
Any woman who knows a little about etiquette knows the difference between men and women, especially Sun Xiangxiang, who is not yet engaged, should keep her distance from men.
"Of course."
The maid Huang Ying didn't catch the disdain in Wu Ya's words and said smugly.
"General Qi, there is a very effective place to draw lots at Yutan Temple. I obtained a peace charm there and I am giving it to you."
As Sun Xiangxiang spoke, she handed over the purse containing the amulet.
Qi Heng didn't move, which embarrassed Sun Xiangxiang. To show that she hadn't brought anything with her, she took out a lucky charm.
Lin Yuesha glanced at it; the old monk's method was different—two hundred coins each.
How did you find out?
Sun Xiangxiang was shocked. The old monk had said that the last person with a predestined connection was more than a year ago. Lin Yuesha was from the north. Could it be that she had met the old monk before?
If that's the case, then it makes sense.
Lin Yuesha had this opportunity, so she became a fake couple with Qi Heng, while Sun Xiangxiang was a person with the destiny of a phoenix.
"Miss Sun, could you please tell me the directions?"
Lin Yuesha was quite polite. She wanted to take Wuya to see the old monk, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find the right way. After coming out of several temples to worship Buddha, Wuya was hungry.
Lin Yuesha will visit again after noon.
"No."
The maid, Magpie, declined on behalf of her young mistress, saying, "Young Madam Qi, the master's courtyard is protected by a magic spell, and only those with a destined connection are allowed to visit. My young mistress cannot take you with her."
The implication is that Lin Yuesha is not destined for this relationship, so she shouldn't have any illusions.
"All right."
Lin Yuesha agreed with this explanation, as she had also entered the courtyard by chance.
Qi Heng refused the amulet, and Sun Xiangxiang didn't insist. After Lin Yuesha went to the side room and left, she caught up with Qi Heng and asked, "Young General Qi, do you believe in fate?"
I don't believe it.
Qi Heng was extremely cold. He didn't want to pay any attention to Sun Xiangxiang, always feeling that this woman was not clear-headed and seemed to have a serious illness.
There's no way to explain things to a patient in just a few words; the best approach is to stay away.
As for fate, all fates are deliberately arranged by people, like his relationship with Lin Yuesha.
Ignoring Sun Xiangxiang, Qi Heng vanished in a flash.
"snort!"
Sun Xiangxiang stamped her foot, not to be outdone, and said, "Let's go, let's book a private room."
She refused to believe she wouldn't find an opportunity to be alone with Qi Heng.
"Miss, you've forgotten, all our money has been used to make offerings to the master, and we have no money on hand right now."
Jewelry, silver, banknotes—they gave away everything they could, leaving the master and servants penniless.
"Then why didn't you remind me!"
Sun Xiangxiang became even more furious. It was noon, and if they didn't have the money to book a room, they couldn't possibly sit on the stone platform behind the mountain.
Fine, in order to find a place to rest, Sun Xiangxiang had no choice but to be a little shameless and knock on Lin Yuesha's door.
Wuya opened the door and was quite surprised to see the two people standing there. Then she said casually, "There are only women in the room. General Qi is not here."
They even sent someone to the side room; how shameless!
Uya prides herself on being a proactive person, but she is also quite concerned about her image and will not do anything inappropriate.
"Our young lady would like to rest for a while."
The maid, Magpie, blushed and lowered her voice. She took out a peace charm, which Sun Xiangxiang had prepared to give to Qi Heng.
"We're not buying."
After washing up, Lin Yuesha refused directly, saying, "The room is small and can only accommodate two people. I'm sorry."
After saying that, she slammed the door shut.
"Cousin, that was really satisfying!"
Sun Xiangxiang's incredulous expression made Wuya feel extremely relieved.
There's no need to give a woman a pleasant look if she's so eager to marry someone else.
"Two hundred coins for a peace charm, we can get ten in the front hall."
Lin Yuesha described Sun Xiangxiang as a vendor selling amulets, which made Wuya laugh even harder.
The two sat together, drinking tea brewed with mountain spring water, eating vegetarian food, and chatting about everything under the sun.
Sun Xiangxiang was turned away and was so angry that she couldn't speak. She was Sun Baiwan's sister, and her older brother was highly regarded by General Qi. What was Lin Yuesha compared to her?
"Miss, let's rest under the pine tree."
There was a stone table under the pine tree. The maid Huang Ying wiped the dust off with her sleeve and comforted her young mistress, saying, "Please be patient. Once you marry General Qi, Lin Yuesha will be less arrogant after seeing you kneel down."
After she finished speaking, she made an excuse to go to the outhouse and ran to the courtyard to find the old monk.
In fact, Huang Ying and the old monk were destined to meet. She once met the old monk on credit when she bought roast chicken at a shop.
Huang Ying, feeling kind-hearted, bought chicken legs for the old monk, and over time, the two became acquainted.
The old monk asked Huang Ying if she wanted to make money, saying he had a way.
So the old monk devised a plan, instructing Huang Ying to lure Sun Xiangxiang into the courtyard and orchestrate this whole affair.
However, the old monk had a bad memory, so he recorded Sun Xiangxiang's birth date and time in a small notebook to avoid making mistakes and embarrassing himself.
Huang Ying felt that she couldn't accomplish this alone, so she sought out Xi Que, who was equally greedy and cunning. Together, they made everything seem quite natural.
The old monk had swindled the money, and now it was time to divide the spoils.
The oriole walked briskly, humming a little tune, to the secluded courtyard.
The courtyard gate was open, but the house doors were tightly shut.
"Master, are you there?"
The door was unlocked from the outside, and the person was still inside.
The oriole knocked on the door and called for help, but no one answered after a long time.
Could it be that the old monk has changed his mind and wants to keep it all for himself?
Thinking of this, Huang Ying couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
If the old monk cheats and refuses to give her any money, there's nothing she can do about it.
Sun Xiangxiang was extremely convinced that she was destined to be a noble person. If she discovered that everything was a deception, Huang Ying, as a maid, would surely suffer an extremely tragic fate.
After waiting at the door for a while, Huang Ying decided to see what was going on. She walked to the window, which was ajar.
Pushing open the window, I saw the old monk lying not far from the window, seemingly asleep.
"Master, Master, wake up!"
If we have to divide the spoils before we can sleep, it will be very inconvenient to come back after she goes down the mountain. What if the old monk denies everything after ten days or half a month?
After calling for a while, still no one answered. Frustrated, Huang Ying tried to climb into the room and wake the old monk.
Old people feel lightheaded; could the old monk have done it on purpose?
Just as Huang Ying was about to find a brick to stand on, she saw something dripping from the table—a red droplet of blood.
Drop by drop, like beads from a broken string, the entire ground was stained red.
