Su Jinse's question made Zhou Jingkong frown: "How did you know her?"
Even his own concubine knows about Qingyan's existence, so would the prince's men also know that Qingyan is his?
Su Jinse sneered when she heard his answer: "Is this what you wanted to tell me?"
"Jinse, now is not the time to joke. Tell me, how did you know Qingyan?"
"Qingyan...you're calling me that in a very intimate way." Su Jinse laughed at herself, "Zhou Jingkong, sometimes I really want to know if you have a heart or not? No, you do have a heart, but I should ask, how many parts can your heart be divided into?"
Zhou Jingkong said patiently: "Jinse, now is not the time to talk about this. Qingyan is very important to me. Tell me first how you know her, and then I will explain it to you slowly, okay?"
Seeing him like this, Su Jinse completely gave up.
She didn't want to admit that she was actually attracted by Zhou Jingkong's gentleness at the beginning, otherwise she would not be willing to sleep with him. But after sleeping together, she found out that he had a woman outside.
As a woman of the new century, Su Jinse could not tolerate a man's betrayal, so she proposed for a divorce. She, Su Jinse, could let go easily, but she did not expect that this was not the modern era. She could divorce whenever she wanted, and it was dragged on and on until she had a child.
And during the pregnancy, his patience and gentleness towards her made her once again have the illusion that maybe Zhou Jingkong liked her? Unfortunately, it didn’t.
Su Jinse was proud of herself. She didn't want to tell the truth, but for some reason, she thought of Yin Li and blurted out, "It's all thanks to your confidante. She came to demonstrate in front of me in person, and you asked me how I knew that? Wasn't everything she did at your behest?"
"What? Are you saying Qingyan went to see you?"
Su Jinse snorted coldly and lay down on the bed.
If they don’t want to divorce, then they don’t divorce. If they don’t want to have an abortion, then they don’t have to have one. She will raise the child alone in the future. As for her husband? She just treated herself as a widow.
"You should have a good rest and don't think too much."
The footsteps behind her gradually faded away. Su Jinse listened with a slight smile on her lips, but tears kept flowing down her face.
…
The next morning.
Tan Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the little girl with most of her body lying on him. He felt a little unnatural because he had never been so close to anyone before.
He lowered his eyes slightly. The little girl was sleeping soundly. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyelids. Her delicate nose and slightly pouty red lips made people want to kiss her...
Tan Yuan was startled, and immediately began to silently recite: Form is emptiness, emptiness is form...
As he thought about it, Tan Yuan began to doubt himself again.
Obviously, in the past, many girls threw themselves at him and he was always as calm as a rock without any fluctuations. Why did he make exceptions when facing young girls? When she was still a little fox, he seemed unable to resist the little girl's flattery.
Thinking of this, Tan Yuan felt that all the scriptures he had read over the years were in vain, or was he really not destined to be with Buddhism? In the past, I was able to meditate and practice Buddhism, but was it just because I hadn’t met that person yet?
Just as he was thinking about it, the little girl in his arms moved a little. Tan Yuan immediately stiffened his body and dared not move. But the next moment, he looked directly into the little girl's eyes.
"Good morning, Heritage~" The little girl smiled sweetly, then found a comfortable position in his arms and closed her eyes again.
Tan Yuan: “…”
It is time to get up and recite the sutras.
Wait, he has returned to secular life and doesn’t need to recite scriptures, but he should still get up.
Tan Yuan could already hear the voices of the farmer couple outside. He wanted to move, but looking at the well-behaved little girl, he was reluctant to move.
They were entangled like this until the 9:00 p.m. when the little girl finally got up. After being suppressed by her for the whole night, Tan Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. When they came out after cleaning up, the peasant woman looked at them with different eyes, which made Tan Yuan very embarrassed.
In order to avoid too many people watching, Tan Yuan wrapped a layer of cloth on his head. The clothes he wore were bought from a peasant woman. They were very simple and plain, but even so, they could not conceal the slightest bit of Tan Yuan's temperament.
The two of them found a villager nearby who was going to the capital and hitchhiked. Sitting on the back of the ox cart, Tan Yuan was very uncomfortable, but the little girl adapted well. She sat on the ox cart, looked around and talked all the way. Finally, she said she was tired and just lay on his legs to sleep. Her movements were very skillful, as if she had laid on someone else's legs like this before.
The ox cart was not moving very fast, and by the time the two entered the city, it was already past noon.
After thanking the villagers, Yinli and Tanyuan found an inn nearby, washed up quickly, and went downstairs to eat.
It was not dinner time, and there were not many people eating downstairs, only a few tables. Therefore, the sound of their voices was particularly obvious.
"This news is fake, right? How could Master Tan Yuan return to secular life?"
Yinli and Tanyuan were both startled, and then they pricked up their ears at the same time.
"It's true. Yesterday afternoon, someone saw Master Tan Yuan leaving Qinghua Temple with a bag on his back and a young and beautiful woman. I heard that the girl was so beautiful. Standing next to Master Tan Yuan, they looked like a couple from heaven."
"Master Tan Yuan has been famous for a long time, how could he suddenly return to secular life? I still don't believe it."
"It's true. I just came back from outside the city today. On the way, I met some pilgrims from Qinghua Temple while drinking tea. Many of them were complaining about this. The fifteenth day of the lunar month is coming soon, and many pilgrims who came from other places specially came here, but in the end they came back empty-handed."
"Master Tan Yuan has such a divine appearance, I wonder what kind of woman can be so attractive to him that he would be willing to return to secular life."
Yin Li listened, and happily held up her face, with a smile in her eyes and mouth, as if saying: I am such a beautiful woman~
Tan Yuan noticed her little movements and found them very interesting.
The people over there were still talking about Master Tan Yuan, but they were all a series of speculations triggered by Master Tan Yuan's return to secular life. The most talked about topic was how beautiful the woman was who could have made Master Tan Yuan return to secular life.
"If you are really like a celestial being, I would return to secular life if you asked me to."
"It seems that even the master is not immune to this."
The two of them sat in the corner, listening to other people talking about their gossip, which was quite a different experience.
After finishing the meal, Yinli said something to Tanyuan and went out, then called out Daoming.
"We have no money. Ask your master to find me a house in the capital."
Stealing the name: “…”
Do you have any shame?
Yin Li didn't care what he was thinking. Anyway, she was nominally helping Zhou Jingkong, so she thought that any profit she could get would be good. When Zhou Jingkong came to his senses later, he would be too embarrassed to ask her for the money, right?
Her wishful thinking went smoothly.
"Have you asked the waiter?"
"I asked him, and he said he would help me find a reliable broker. Don't worry about it, I will take care of it."
