So that's how Azi made up about him!
As Liang Shaojie thought this, he quickly figured out how to deal with it.
He lowered his head in shame, his tone full of remorse, "It was my fault that day. I shouldn't have drunk alcohol, and that's why I offended Azi without thinking! It's all my fault. I frightened Azi with my rashness!"
Brother Wenlin, you are also a man, you should understand how difficult it is to control one's emotions when they are overwhelming!
I know that this cannot be a reason for me to hurt Azi! I wanted to make amends, but it was too late. Azi saw me as a lecher and refused to listen to my explanations!
As he spoke, he actually knelt down before Jiang Wenlin, "Brother Wenlin, please help me! I don't ask that Azi can continue to accept me, I just want to make it up to Azi, I just hope that Azi will no longer treat me like a wolf or a tiger!"
Seeing the remorse on his face and the pain of losing his beloved in his words, Jiang Wenlin felt compassion!
"What can I say about you! You've read so many classic texts, yet you don't understand the principle of restraint in expressing emotions! After a couple of drinks, you lost your senses and committed this act of assaulting my sister!"
"Brother Wenlin, you can scold me however you want, but you must not ruin Azi's reputation! That day, although I was somewhat moved, I didn't dare to be too presumptuous. I just couldn't control myself for a moment and kissed Azi!"
As if afraid Jiang Wenlin wouldn't believe him, Liang Shaojie emphasized again, "Really, I only kissed her once, and then I sobered up. Before I could even apologize to Azi, she pushed me away and ran away..."
Jiang Wenlin breathed a sigh of relief. He had assumed that Liang Shaojie had gone too far because he saw how much Azi disliked Liang Shaojie.
wrong!
He's Azi's older brother, how could he have such thoughts!
But Liang Shaojie had already knelt before him and even fainted from exhaustion while organizing his notes. If he were to press him any further, it would not be the behavior of a gentleman!
"Get up first!"
Jiang Wenlin wanted to help Liang Shaojie up, but Liang Shaojie was still limping! If he ended up hurting himself instead of helping Liang Shaojie up, it would be a huge loss!
"Brother Wenlin, you don't blame me anymore?"
Liang Shaojie feigned delight but didn't get up immediately, as if to say that he wouldn't get up if Jiang Wenlin didn't forgive him!
Jiang Wenlin looked down on this behavior, his face darkening. "If you like kneeling, I have no objection!"
As he spoke, he made a move to leave!
Knowing he couldn't go too far, Liang Shaojie quickly stood up and pulled Jiang Wenlin back, "Brother Wenlin, I'm really desperate!"
"Let go! What are you doing, a man, pulling and tugging like a woman!"
Liang Shaojie hated Jiang Wenlin with a vengeance, but he dared not show it on his face. He just looked at Jiang Wenlin pitifully.
Jiang Wenlin felt a chill run down his spine from his gaze and shuddered uncomfortably. "You should go back and recover. I can't take care of you!"
Liang Shaojie quickly composed himself and said anxiously, "Brother Wenlin, Azi is avoiding me now. I want to apologize, but she won't give me a chance. I can only beg you for help..."
"Why are you begging me! Go beg your grandmother, Azi always listens to her the most!"
A bitter smile appeared on Liang Shaojie's lips. "I already begged my grandmother."
"Even Grandmother is useless!"
Jiang Wenlin realized that his words were inappropriate and quickly corrected himself, "No, what I meant was, even Grandmother's intervention is useless, what merit do I have! You know that Azi doesn't respect me as her brother at all, would she listen to what I say?"
"I don't want Brother Wenlin to be my intermediary. I just hope that you can say a few good words about me to Azi, so that I can look at Azi a little more often. That's all I ask for!"
"Don't you want to get back together with Azi?"
"No, no!" Liang Shaojie lowered his head, looking dejected. "How could I dare to hope that things could be the same between Azi and me again! I just hope that Azi will stop treating me like a monster. As for the rest, what can I give Azi in this crippled state?"
At this point, he gave a bitter laugh, "In my current state, what right do I have to stand before Azi! Forget it, forget it! I was just being stubborn and made things difficult for Brother Wenlin!"
I'm going back to my courtyard now. Don't mention today's events in front of Azi. Just pretend I never entered your courtyard!
I will not bother Brother Wenlin again. If you have any questions, please have Changxi ask me!
After saying that, he walked away looking dejected.
Under Liang Shaojie's clever words and acting, Jiang Wenlin's heart inevitably leaned towards him. Although he did not keep Liang Shaojie to continue recuperating at Huayangxuan, he sent a lot of tonics over by Changxi and instructed Changxi and Changshun that if Jiang Segu asked, they should say that Liang Shaojie fainted at the gate of the courtyard!
***
At this time, Jiang Segu had already arrived at Fahua Temple with Old Madam Jiang.
Although Fahua Temple is not as popular as Huguo Temple, it still has quite a few worshippers.
However, because Grandma Jiang had been donating money to the temple for many years, even though there were many worshippers, as soon as they got off the carriage, a monk would come to greet them.
"No wonder Master said last night that a distinguished guest would be visiting the temple today. At first, I didn't believe it, but now I do! Fortunately, Master instructed me to clean the side rooms of the Marquis's residence every day. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a failure to provide adequate hospitality and make the Marquis's wife uncomfortable?"
The monk who greeted guests was all smiles. He was handsome and had a clear, melodious voice, so even when he said flattering things, it didn't sound obsequious!
This is one of the reasons why Fahua Temple is always bustling with worshippers.
The monks selected by the temple to be guests were all quite good-looking, and each had a unique voice, which was pleasing to the eye and soothing to the ear.
Therefore, many ladies from noble families like to come to Fahua Temple to offer incense!
However, not everyone has a fixed room at Fahua Temple, which shows that Grandma Jiang donates a considerable amount of money for incense oil every year!
In her previous life, she didn't care about any of these things, but the words Luo Xiaohua said before she died still echoed in her ears!
"Your mother donated money to repair temples and sculpt golden statues of Buddha for many years. Did you ever see Buddha protecting her? She was still strangled to death by her old maid!"
Therefore, Jiang Segu's lowered eyes held a hint of disdain.
As she listened to Madam Jiang and the guest monk exchanging pleasantries, her mind was no longer on Fahua Temple.
Until Old Madam Jiang called her, "Azi, Grandmother went to see Master Liaowu, you..."
"My granddaughter likes the hill behind Fahua Temple..."
She wanted to say that she liked the flowers on the back hill, but then she remembered that the back hill of Fahua Temple was planted with begonias, so she changed her words and said, "Grandmother, don't worry about Azi, Azi can just take a walk!"
With a helpless look, Old Madam Jiang scolded Jiang Segu, telling her not to run around, and then instructed Qiaohe and Qinghong, "Take good care of your young lady, and don't let anyone bump into her!"
"yes!"
After Old Madam Jiang left, Jiang Segu wandered around aimlessly, but she never went to the south side of the temple!
Because there is a Guanyin Temple to the south, and behind the Guanyin Temple is a statue of the Goddess of Childbirth, which is said to be very effective in granting children.
As a girl who hasn't even reached marriageable age, she naturally doesn't need to join in the fun!
