"What opportunity?" Lu Qingqing asked.
Fan Meiniang sat on a chair, tucking her hair behind her ears. She smiled and said, "A few days ago, I imitated Gu Yunran's handwriting and wrote a letter to Guard Qianli, inviting him to meet at Sanqing Temple. Qianli replied today, and we'll go to Sanqing Temple tomorrow."
Lu Qingqing twisted her handkerchief and asked, "Sanqing Temple?"
"If I remember correctly, Gu Yunran goes to Sanqing Temple to worship Buddha on the fifteenth day of every month, and tomorrow happens to be the fifteenth."
She slammed the table: "Does this mean they have had secret meetings more than once?"
"may be."
Lu Qingqing snorted coldly: "What a shameless, lowly whore! If we catch her tomorrow, we'll make sure she's drowned."

The next day, Gu Yunran got up before dawn.
Today she went to the Sanqing Temple to worship Buddha. She chose a plain dress, tied her hair into a bun, and inserted a peach wood hairpin. She did not wear any makeup, but she looked more elegant and refined.
"Miss, everything is ready."
Zhuye brought water for washing face, wet the handkerchief, wrung out the water, and handed it to Gu Yunran. Gu Yunran took the handkerchief and wiped his face casually.
"We can go now."
"good."
Gu Yunran took the two maids on the carriage. As the carriage left, a figure stood in the corner, glanced at the departing carriage, and turned to go to Nianmei Pavilion.
"Auntie, she's gone." The silly lady said, "When I came back from the Mu Mansion, I saw that the carriage had already left."
Fan Mei Niang took out a sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it into Silly Lady's hand, saying with a smile, "Well done."
She stuffed all the remaining osmanthus cake in the food box into the silly woman's arms.
"These are all yours."
"Hmm." The silly lady grabbed a handful of osmanthus cake and stuffed it all into her mouth. "It's delicious. Thank you, Auntie!"
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
Fan Mei Niang poured another glass of water and handed it to the silly lady: "Drink some water."
The silly lady was so happy that she giggled while holding the water cup: "Auntie, you are so kind!"
Fan Mei Niang smiled and wiped the osmanthus cake residue from the corner of Silly Lady's mouth with a handkerchief: "After you finish eating, come out with me. I will take you to Sanqing Temple to worship Buddha."
She was worried that something might go wrong along the way, so it would be safer for her to take the silly girl with her.
The silly lady nodded while stuffing osmanthus cake into her mouth.
In a short while, the silly lady finished the box of osmanthus cake.
Fan Mei Niang said to the maidservant beside her, "Go tell the eldest aunt that we can leave."
"yes."
The carriage had already been prepared. As soon as Fan Meiniang walked to the door, Lu Qingqing and Lu Jiajia arrived.
"Great aunt."
Fan Meiniang bowed to Lu Qingqing.
Lu Qingqing held her hand and said, "You are pregnant, there is no need to go through all this formality."
After what happened at Gao's house, Lu Qingqing had a clearer understanding of the people around her.
The second sister-in-law is a person who flatters the powerful and bullies the weak, and takes advantage of others when they are down. Although Fan Meiniang is a concubine, she has always been loyal to her.
Therefore, her attitude towards Fan Meiniang became much better.
Sanqing Temple is located in the suburbs of Shengjing, not far from Shengjing. It takes about half an hour to get from the bustling downtown area to Sanqing Temple.
Therefore, many people in Shengjing would go to Sanqing Temple to worship Buddha, especially on the 15th of every month, when there were even more people.
Most of them were ladies from the inner chambers, either with their maids or their own daughters.
There were very few men who came to worship Buddha, so when Fan Meiniang and Lu Qingqing just walked into the temple, they saw Qianli wearing men's clothes.
Fan Meiniang reached out and tugged at Lu Qingqing's sleeve, pointing at Qianli: "Look, that's Qianli."
Lu Qingqing glanced at Qianli, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes.
She ordered the people around her: "Follow him."
"yes."
Cuilan knows some martial arts, and she quietly follows Qianli.
"Gu Yunran is praying in the temple, let's go in."
Lu Qingqing suppressed the emotions on her face and took Fan Meiniang into the Buddhist temple.
After Gu Yunran paid his respects to the Three Pure Ones, he stood up and saw Fan Meiniang, Lu Qingqing and Lu Jiajia kneeling beside him.
She pretended to be surprised: "Aunt and Aunt Fan are here too?"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? We could have come together."
Lu Qingqing snorted: "Hasn't it been enough that I've been hurt by you? Who wants to be with you?"
After saying that, she left angrily.
Fan Meiniang pursed her lips, glanced at Lu Qingqing and said to Gu Yunran, "Madam, don't be angry. The eldest aunt is very angry."
She walked closer to Gu Yunran, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "My eldest aunt was almost divorced by the Chen family."
"She deserves it."
Gu Yunran smiled and said, "I just love peonies. I really like the fragrance of flowers. I specially made two new autumn clothes with fine materials. But before I could wear them, she snatched them away."
"Ah..." Gu Yunran sighed: "But then again, I have to thank my aunt. Who knew that General Gao's grandson was allergic to peony flowers?"
"She saved me from disaster."
As soon as Lu Qingqing walked out of the door, she heard Gu Yunran's words. She was so angry that her face turned blue. She clenched her fists and there was a fierce look in Lu Qingqing's eyes.
"Gu Yunran, you'll be in trouble later."
She asked her maid Cuihua, "Has Qingzhou arrived?"
"Madam, the Fourth Master has sent a message saying he will arrive in half an incense stick of time."
"good."
Lu Qingqing looked back at Gu Yunran, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile.
"Soon, I will have Qing Zhou personally sink her into the pond."
"Oh no, oh no."
Cuilan ran back in a hurry.
