Chapter 434: If there is no evidence, create evidence
When Qiao Yihuan arrived, someone went to inform Abbot Jingxin, but Abbot Jingxin did not come out to greet him, as if he was avoiding suspicion.
Qiao Yihuan did not take the initiative to look for him, but burned incense and prayed for blessings. Then she helped the monks in the temple with chores within her ability. She did not put on airs at all, which made the monks in the temple like her very much.
Shen Lingyi came at this time and saw Qiao Yihuan wiping the incense table with a rag.
Chu Lu glanced at her and saw that she did not take the initiative to approach him, but instead picked up the incense, lit it, and knelt down silently.
But Qiao Yihuan turned around and saw her.
He seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was for a moment. Where had she seen him before?
"Changle County Princess?" Shen Lingyi asked in surprise.
Qiao Yihuan smiled gently and nodded at her. "You look very familiar to me, but I'm a little forgetful and can't remember who you are for the moment. I hope you won't be angry."
Shen Lingyi stood up and walked towards her. "My name is Shen Lingyi, and my grandfather is the prime minister of the dynasty. Why is the county lady here?"
After she finished speaking, she exclaimed, "Could it be that he is hiding from that Master Lu? I heard from my grandfather that he beat the drum to force the county lady to meet him."
Qiao Yihuan's expression did not change when he heard this, but seeing that there was no malice on her face, he could not tell for a moment whether she was doing it on purpose or was just being reckless.
Xiaoying said in a deep voice: "How can you talk like that? What do you mean by hiding? My lady is the current county lady, how could she hide from a commoner?"
Shen Lingyi quickly apologized, "It's all my fault for speaking without restraint, County Lady, please don't take it to heart."
Chu Lu followed up by saying, "My young lady has always been outspoken, but she has a good heart. Please don't blame her, County Lady."
How could Qiao Yihuan blame others? She is now the county lord, with countless eyes staring at her. How could she do such a petty thing?
"It's okay. I won't take such a small matter to heart. Miss Shen, are you here to pray for your family?"
Shen Lingyi smiled and said, "It's for myself. I want to find a good husband for myself. But the man I like seems to have a heartless, hypocritical, and fickle woman in his heart."
Qiao Yihuan felt a sense of empathy when she heard this, "Don't be sad, what's yours will always be yours, and no one else can take it away from you."
Shen Lingyi smiled and held her hand, "I like to listen to what the county lady says. I hope that the person I love can see the true face of that woman as soon as possible and not be deceived by her."
Qiao Yihuan smiled lightly: "I definitely will."
Shen Lingyi said: "The county lady is from the capital, so she must be very familiar with this national temple, right? I grew up in my hometown and I am not familiar with everything about Huasheng Temple. I wonder if the county lady can take me for a tour?"
Qiao Yihuan would naturally not refuse. She was a beautiful and kind-hearted county lord, a blessed person who could hear the will of God.
The two of them walked from the front hall to the back mountain and saw a big fat cat on a stone table in a pavilion.
Qiao Yihuan walked over and picked up the cat. When he turned around and was about to talk to Shen Lingyi, he saw Shen Lingyi running away.
She is afraid of cats.
"It's called Forget-Your-Sorrow. It's very cute. Don't be afraid."
Chu Lu quickly said, "County Lady, my daughter has asthma and cannot get close to these hairy animals."
Qiao Yihuan stopped walking and put the big yellow cat back, "Sorry, I don't know."
Shen Lingyi covered her chest with a pale face: “I feel a little unwell and want to rest for a while, so I won’t accompany the county master.”
Qiao Yihuan nodded and watched her leave.
Xiaoying said: "Miss, the Shen family and our Qiao family are not on good terms, so you should not get too close to them."
Qiao Yihuan said in a calm tone, "The Shen family and the Qiao family are at odds with each other. What does it have to do with me? I wish everyone would be at odds with the Qiao family. Although my last name is Qiao, the Qiao family is not my home. I don't have any family there."
Xiaoying looked at her: "Miss, you have suffered."
Qiao Yihuan let out a long sigh, "Miss Shen is a straightforward person. I don't have to worry about her betraying me one day when I get along with her."
Just like the Crane Orb.
However, Qiao Yihuan’s judgment of people is somewhat poor.
After leaving, Shen Lingyi cursed in a low voice, and the words she used were somewhat unpleasant.
When Qiao Wanyan passed the Moon Gate, she happened to see Shen Lingyi cursing with a very ugly expression.
"Bitch, you are so pretentious, do you think you are so great? You are just a lowly concubine's daughter, and her mother is not even a concubine. What is there to be proud of?"
Qiao Wanyan: "Oh, sister, why are you so angry? Who has offended you? Tell me quickly. If I can help you, I will definitely help you."
When Shen Lingyi saw her, she wanted to complain about her grievances. Compared with Qiao Yihuan, she was now completely on the same front as Qiao Wanyan.
"Your concubine sister is so disgusting. She's so hypocritical and pretentious. She pretends to be low-key but she wants everyone to know that she is the Princess of Changle County! It's so disgusting!"
Qiao Wanyan said helplessly: "But she is indeed the county lady now, and the emperor personally conferred her the title. Even if we don't like it, we can't change the facts, right? What's more, my sister is a good friend of Abbot Jingxin. You'd better be careful when you say this, and don't let Abbot Jingxin hear it."
"He's just a monk, what kind of storm can he stir up?"
Qiao Wanyan quickly pressed against her lips, and Shen Lingyi only felt a fleeting soft touch, followed by a light and refreshing fragrance.
"Don't talk nonsense. Abbot Jingxin is a monk respected by the Empress Dowager. If you say something bad about my sister behind her back, Abbot Jingxin can ruin your reputation and make you unmarried in the capital!"
Shen Lingyi was also a little scared, "Thank you, sister Wanyan, besides my brother, you are the only one who cares about me so much. I used to......"
Qiao Wanyan held her hand and said, "We are not acquainted until we fight. It's a pity that we met too late!"
Shen Lingyi was touched. She was pretty and kind-hearted, unlike Qiao Yihuan's hypocrisy. Although she had a bit of a temper, everyone had flaws.
Zi Yuan said leisurely, "I heard that it was Abbot Jingxin who said that the young lady had wisdom, and told the emperor that she was a kind person who could hear the will of God, so the emperor made her the county lady. What do you mean by hearing the will of God? Who has seen God? I think Jingxin and the young lady are having an affair! Otherwise, why would they say this for no reason?!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Qiao Wanyan scolded, "How can you talk nonsense without any evidence? If someone hears you, I will be implicated too."
"I know I was wrong." Zi Yuan said with her head down.
Shen Lingyi frowned, "No evidence?"
Isn't that just creating evidence?
What this little maidservant said makes a lot of sense. Why would Jingxin praise her to the sky for no reason?
