Chapter 61: Burning Incense and Praying for Blessings



This was the first time An Qingran heard her mother apologize, which meant that her mother had opened her heart to her. She couldn't help but say, "Mom, we can talk to each other like friends. Do you think that what I said just now made sense?"

"In fact, mother knows everything!"

"Yes, I know that mother has her own persistence. If mother really has no feelings for father, then I will support mother in making a new choice..." An Qingran said bravely.

In fact, she was very afraid of getting an answer she didn't want.

Lian Jinyu shook her head: "How can there be new choices? How can mother be lacking in the virtues of a woman? Besides, your father also has his merits!"

"Of course, my father is wise and brave, but he is a little soft-hearted. It was also because my mother was too strong that she pushed my father away!"

"Yes, he is your father. How could a child think that his parents are bad?" Lian Jinyu said with a smile.

"Then mother, I have a suggestion!" An Qingran said with bright eyes, "Tomorrow is the first day of the lunar year, and there should be a temple fair at Yuehua Temple. I want to go with mother to burn incense! And then live there for a few months to pray for the people of Tianqi and the general's mansion, okay?"

"Ran'er now cares about the people of the world. Mother really looks at you in a new light!" Lian Jinyu was amused by An Qingran's words and smiled lightly, her eyes bright as water.

"Did mother agree?" An Qingran said with a smile.

Lian Jinyu turned around and picked up the key to the general's mansion, and said thoughtfully: "Ran'er has said so, how could mother not agree?"

An Qingran jumped up: "Okay, I'll go back and pack my luggage..."

"Your feet!" Lian Jinyu said worriedly.

"I'm well now. I was just being lazy and wanted to rest for a few more days!" An Qingran smiled mischievously, her face full of energy.

When Lian Jinrong heard that they were going to pray for blessings, she was a little confused.

Could it be that Lian Jinyu has given up completely and wants to become a monk?

An Yanran sat there with a smug look on her face: "Mom is really good at this. When they leave, we must show our best."

"Yes, bring over the new clothes that mother made, and the two cushions with golden lotus flowers given by your aunt Shu. Since they are going to Yuehua Temple to pray for blessings in this freezing cold weather, they will be useful!" Lian Jinrong said with a smile.

"Mother, wouldn't it be better if you said these words in front of them?"

"No, we have to do it in front of your father." Lian Jinrong retorted.

An Zhongtao's heart sank when he heard Lian Jinyu's words. He vaguely felt that she was blaming him. How could he not understand her temper? She wanted to run away from home!

"How could you have such an idea?" An Zhongtao looked a little depressed.

"General, I hope you take good care of yourself at home!" Lian Jinyu handed the key to An Zhongtao. "I feel that my ability is limited and I am not capable of managing the mansion. Therefore, although I am praying for blessings, I am also reflecting on myself."

"It's freezing cold in the temple, how can it be as comfortable as in the palace?"

"Since it is for blessing, the cold weather shows our sincerity even more!"

"Have you really decided? But when will you return home?" An Zhongtao's voice trembled. When he mentioned Yuehua Temple, he remembered the past when she was in her teens. The woman who looked back and smiled under the tender willows seemed to have captured his soul from then on. Although, he knew that she was not smiling at him, but seeing the swallows flying in the sky, she remembered something. That year, she wore a goose yellow embroidered skirt, and in the spring light, she was more beautiful than flowers...

Thinking of this, his heart ached deeply.

When did they seem to become strangers?

There were some things he hesitated to say.

Her pride kept her at a distance.

When Lian Jinyu heard him ask this, her heart ached. If the two of them continued like this, then she would rather he never come back. If they didn't meet, there would be no worries, right?

So, she just smiled and didn't say when she would return.
