Chapter 197 I'll Do What You Say
Jiang Yueyao pretended not to hear and followed Shen Baoqing.
Lu Sui stood there, watching her leave without looking back. He stared at her calmly for a moment, and the corners of his lips moved, forming a very tiny arc.
But then, he took a step and followed.
Jiang Yueyao followed everyone into the hall.
She followed the crowd in burning incense, kneeling and listening to the scriptures.
After listening for more than half an hour, she quietly got up and left. She wanted to pull Shen Baoqing out with her, but she saw that her eyes were shining and she was so obsessed with staring at Xuan Ji that she was drooling, so she didn't call her and went out with the gold.
There was a monk standing at the door. Jiang Yueyao asked him where to light the "rebirth lamp". After getting the answer, she took the gold and went there.
The emperor had not finished listening to the sutra, so they were the only ones present in the entire Xiangguo Temple.
Xiangguo Temple is very large, and apart from the busy monks, no one else can be seen on the road.
Jiang Yueyao asked as she walked and arrived at another hall. This hall was the place where the lamps for the dead were lit as the monk in charge of reception had mentioned.
Jiang Yueyao stepped inside.
As soon as she entered, she saw Lu Sui.
He was standing in front of a Buddha statue with his back to her, looking up at it, his hands behind his back, as if he had been there for a long time.
Hearing the noise, he turned around and looked at Jiang Yueyao.
His eyes were calm and his voice was low and slow.
"Let's light some incense first."
Jiang Yueyao said nothing, and followed him to a Buddha statue. She took the incense he handed her, lit it, and bowed devoutly to the statue several times. Then she closed her eyes and prayed silently in her heart.
He opened his eyes again, placed the incense in the incense burner, and took a step back.
A monk came in and led her step by step to light the afterlife lamp. He recited a passage of scripture. Jiang Yueyao listened carefully and silently said in her heart: "Mother, if you have not been reincarnated, and you have obtained this afterlife lamp, may it guide you all the way to rebirth and give you a good birth in the next life."
Lu Sui stood quietly by, his gaze fixed on her fair face, thinking of what she had once said to him: her adoptive mother, infatuated with one man, never married, and ultimately died young from depression, leaving her the burden of life. At thirteen, while other girls her age would still be coquettishly clinging to their mothers' arms, she was already standing on her own, running the Jixiang Inn with great success...
Lu Sui has always known that Jiang Yueyao looks gentle and easy to talk to, but in fact she has her own opinions.
What she has made up her mind will not change anytime soon.
So, for now, he has a long way to go in coaxing her to come back.
Coming out of the hall, Jiang Yueyao walked in front, Jin Zi followed beside her, and one step behind her, Lu Sui walked slowly, followed by the cold-faced Qingxuan.
Jinzi looked back and whispered to Jiang Yueyao.
"Miss, look at that guy called Qingxuan. He has a cold face all day long, just like his master."
Jiang Yueyao glanced at her and asked, "Why do you always look at him?"
"Oh girl, do you think I'm willing to look at him? Looking at his big icy face, I even skipped two bowls of vegetarian food at noon today. It affected my mood."
Jinzi's words are very interesting.
Jiang Yueyao couldn't help laughing.
The two of them walked and chirped as they went, not noticing that they had taken the wrong path.
When I came to my senses, I looked up and saw the fiery red plum garden not far away.
Jinzi: "Girl, this is terrible. We are trapped. How did we end up here?"
Jiang Yueyao looked at her speechlessly, turned around and was about to take her away, but when she turned around, she saw Lu Sui standing behind her.
She looked at the other person's teasing eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him, but she couldn't help but said something in a bad mood.
"The ghost is still lingering. Could it be that the prince is the ghost?"
Lu Sui glanced at her and stepped closer. Not only was he not annoyed, but there was a smile on the corner of his lips.
"In front of us is the hundred-acre plum garden of Xiangguo Temple. Further in, there's a field of seven-colored plum blossoms. Do you want to go and see them?"
Jiang Yueyao had only seen red plum blossoms, winter plum blossoms, and white plum blossoms, but had never seen seven-color plum blossoms.
She has always liked flowers and plants, and she also wanted to see the seven-color plum blossom, but when she thought of what Lu Sui had done to her the night before, her face suddenly turned cold.
“No!”
After saying that, he left.
Lu Sui didn't move.
A voice came slowly and steadily: "Jiang Yueyao, what are you afraid of? Can I eat you?"
Jiang Yueyao is a smart girl, but she has a bit of a temper and hates being provoked the most.
As long as the other party provokes her, she will be led by the nose.
Today was no exception. When I heard him say that, I immediately stopped.
She turned around to look at him, her eyebrows furrowed: "Who's scared?"
"Heh..." Lu Sui didn't answer her, but just sneered and walked towards the plum garden.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Yueyao got angry on the spot.
Without thinking, I followed him.
"Lu Sui, who do you think you are? Even if you are the regent now, I am not afraid of you. Don't put on that condescending face in front of me."
Lu Sui didn't reply to her.
Take your time and stroll leisurely.
The more he acted like this, the more annoyed Jiang Yueyao became.
"I'm so tired of you being like this. Every time I say ten sentences, you don't say a word. What is your mouth for? Is it just for eating and breathing?"
Lu Sui suddenly stopped.
He stopped so suddenly that I was caught off guard.
Jiang Yueyao bumped into him headfirst, her nose hitting his back and the pain made her see stars.
Seeing that her eyes were red from the pain, Lu Sui reached out his hand to cover her eyes, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was slapped by her.
"Who told you to touch me?"
Lu Sui looked helpless: "Let me see your nose..."
"What are you looking at? What are you looking at?" Jiang Yueyao's emotions suddenly exploded. She raised her fist and hit him randomly. "Lu, I hate you so much. You always follow me around like a ghost. What do you want?"
Lu Sui reached out and, ignoring her ferocious flailing, hugged her in his arms.
The low voice was filled with apology.
"It's all my fault. Everything is my fault. How can you vent your anger?"
Jiang Yueyao didn't say anything, just sobbed in his arms.
Even though the girl in my arms was wearing the thickest winter clothes, I could still clearly feel her fragility.
Lu Sui couldn't help but hug her tighter.
Qingxuan, who was standing aside, saw this, turned around and left. After taking a few steps, he turned back and grabbed Jinzi, who was still standing there in a daze.
As a secret guard, Jinzi subconsciously counterattacked and the two started fighting again.
You chase me and I fight, and the distance between us is getting further and further away.
Jiang Yueyao didn't cry for long.
As she cried, she felt a little embarrassed, so she pushed Lu Sui away and headed towards the plum garden.
Lu Sui followed her and held her hand despite her resistance.
"Let me go!" Jiang Yueyao raised her eyes and glared at him.
Lu Sui looked straight ahead, his thin lips curled up, and he was in a very good mood.
"Unless I die, I will never let go in this life!"
When Jiang Yueyao heard this, she stopped immediately.
She looked up at him, anxious.
"What are you talking about? What's going on? It's New Year's Day, it's unlucky, bah bah bah!"
Lu Sui lowered his eyes and looked at her serious expression, the curve of his lips becoming wider.
He leaned down and gently touched her cheek with his lips.
"Well, I'll do as you say."
