Chapter 187 Xie Xuan escapes and is caught; Jiang Yunzheng guesses that Jiang Wen is Xu Suyuan
The snow melted today, and Xiazhou City is much colder than the previous two days.
This morning, the Erlang Temple was crowded with believers and several Taoist priests were performing rituals in the main hall.
The Qi Mansion's carriage could only drive to the alley outside the Erlang Temple, so the group had to walk there.
These people, both men and women, have outstanding looks and temperament, attracting a lot of attention from passers-by.
Jiang Yunzheng brought Hou Yue and Qingying with him, while Xie Xuan brought Wuyue, Mozhi and other guards who were hiding in the dark.
As soon as Xie Xuan arrived outside the Erlang Temple, she wanted to find a place to relieve herself: "Second sister, is it okay? I have a stomachache."
Jiang Yunzheng's lips curved slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes.
"Of course, go ahead."
It was popular for Xiazhou women to carry a small cloth bag across their shoulders when traveling. Xie Xuan's bag was bulging, and she had a lot of pearl hairpins and jewelry in her bun.
Afraid that others didn't know what she was going to do.
Xie Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Wu Yu, I can go by myself, you wait here for me."
Wu You shook his head expressionlessly and followed Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan glared at her, then glanced at Jiang Yunzheng who was not far away, and said softly, "I have to go to the bathroom urgently, don't get too close to me."
After saying that, Xie Xuan quickly disappeared behind the Chuihua Gate.
With Wuyou and the secret guards watching him, Xie Xuan couldn't escape.
Jiang Yunzheng was standing in the longest queue outside the main hall.
Hou Yue followed behind her.
"You still believe this?"
Jiang Yunzheng nodded, "Since we're here, I heard this place is very spiritual."
Hou Yue ranked after Jiang Yunzheng.
After about two quarters of an hour, it was finally Jiang Yunzheng's turn.
When the Taoist priest heard Qi Yunshen's date of birth, his face was slightly stunned, and then he looked at Jiang Yunzheng.
"Who did you ask for this?"
Jiang Yunzheng's eyes moved slightly, and he bowed: "My... a friend."
The Taoist priest twirled his beard, looked at Jiang Yunzheng's face and said:
"Karma, you and he are deeply connected. Fate has long intertwined us, making it difficult to separate."
Jiang Yunzheng's eyelashes trembled slightly: "What do you mean?"
The Taoist priest had a compassionate face and smiled, "May you two be blessed with great fortune."
Jiang Yunzheng: "I beg you to give me some advice, Taoist priest."
The Taoist priest said, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed," and said nothing more. He handed the amulet to Jiang Yunzheng and said, "Keep it close to you."
Jiang Yunzheng held the amulet, and her palms felt hot.
Hou Yue didn't know the prince's birth date, so she asked the Taoist priest to light a lamp for her deceased parents.
At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly came from beside Jiang Yunzheng.
"Doctor Jiang is here too?"
Jiang Yunzheng turned sideways, with Jiang Wen standing behind her.
Jiang Yunzheng stared at Jiang Wen's face and said slowly, "Master Jiang, is there something wrong?"
Jiang Wen waved the scriptures in his hand and said, "A few days ago, I copied scriptures for the monks in the temple to pray for blessings. Today, I brought them to the temple to burn. I didn't expect to meet Doctor Jiang by chance."
Jiang Yunzheng curled her lips slightly and said bluntly, "Shouldn't Master Jiang have anticipated my appearance here?"
Jiang Wen's expression paused slightly. "Doctor Jiang, you're worrying too much. It's just a coincidence."
Jiang Yunzheng: "Really?"
She ignored Jiang Wen and calculated the time. Xie Xuan should have secretly run to the back mountain by now.
At this time, an old woman not far away was crying to the monk in the temple about her daughter-in-law abusing her.
"I just gave her some pumpkin to eat while she was in confinement, and she still holds a grudge against me. Is that necessary?! Taoist Priest, that little bitch won't even support me now!"
Taoist Priest: "Everything has its own consequences. If you could treat her like that, then she could treat you like that. What's the difference between your actions and hers?"
"She is unfilial!"
Hou Yue couldn't help but interject: "The old man has no morals, and the whole family suffers."
The old man scolded Hou Yue: "What's your business? Shut up!"
Hou Yue snorted: "You will depend on your son and daughter-in-law for the rest of your life. What's the point of regretting it now?"
Seeing that the old man was about to hit Hou Yue, Jiang Yunzheng glanced at the old man.
Meeting Jiang Yunzheng's cold gaze, the old woman was frightened, "Why are you so fierce!"
After saying that, the old woman left in a hurry.
Jiang Wen was still standing by Jiang Yunzheng's side. He asked, "No one in this world is perfect, and it's inevitable that they will make mistakes. If someone did something wrong that hurt Doctor Jiang, would Doctor Jiang forgive them?"
Jiang Yunzheng looked at Jiang Wen: "Oh? Master Jiang, have you ever done anything to offend me?"
Jiang Wen didn't say anything, but his eyes were always on Jiang Yunzheng.
"I hold grudges, no matter how big or small. Anyone who has intentionally hurt me, I won't give them a second chance." Jiang Yunzheng suddenly smiled. "Master Jiang, what do you think?"
Jiang Wen was visibly saddened.
His face was bitter: "What if he knows he is wrong and is willing to repent?"
Jiang Yunzheng: "The damage has already been done. No matter how much we say or how much we compensate, it's all hindsight and has no practical use."
Jiang Wen's lips moved slightly, "I..."
Jiang Yunzheng's eyes were deep: "Master Jiang intended to invite me here through Xie Xuan, could it be that he wanted to say these words?"
Jiang Wen smiled bitterly, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Doctor Jiang, but I once had a younger sister, about the same age as Doctor Jiang. Because of my carelessness, my sister was accidentally killed by a treacherous person. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken and even wanted to kill myself."
When Jiang Wen said this, Jiang Yunzheng kept staring at Jiang Wen's limp foot.
The smile on Jiang Yunzheng's face disappeared.
"Master Jiang, what does he mean?"
Jiang Wen shook his head: "I just wrote it down as I felt."
At this moment, Wu You appeared at the end of Jiang Yunzheng's sight, holding Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan's hands were tied behind his back, his hair was disheveled, and he stared at Jiang Yunzheng with indignation. Then he was rudely taken down the mountain by Wu You.
Hou Yue whistled: "Doctor Jiang, let's go."
Jiang Yunzheng glanced at Jiang Wen and left without saying a word.
Jiang Wen looked at Jiang Yunzheng's back with a sad expression.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Xie Xuan snorted heavily at Jiang Yunzheng.
Jiang Yunzheng straightened Xie Xuan's face and sneered, "Speak properly."
Xie Xuan glared at Jiang Yunzheng. "You knew I was going to run away a long time ago, and I'm still being laughed at by you like a clown. Jiang Yunzheng, you cruel and ruthless woman! What on earth are you planning to do?"
Jiang Yunzheng had no patience with Xie Xuan.
Jiang Yunzheng said to Wuyou, "Give me her antidote."
Wu You took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms.
Jiang Yunzheng took it and threw it directly out of the window.
Xie Xuan's expression suddenly changed. Since he took the antidote for the first time, there was no sign of relapse. Naturally, Xie Xuan did not take the poison given by Jiang Yunzheng seriously.
She drew aside the curtain and watched the carriage go farther and farther away.
Xie Xuan was so angry that his nose was crooked. "What on earth are you going to do?!"
Jiang Yunzheng said calmly: "What is your relationship with Jiang Wen?"
Xie Xuan had an expression that said, "How should I know?" "Is there something wrong with his identity?"
Jiang Yunzheng ignored her.
Xie Xuan turned around angrily and sat facing the other side of the curtain.
Jiang Yunzheng's thoughts drifted away. If Jiang Wen was really the person she thought he was, how did he escape from the hands of the soldiers and come to Xiazhou?
Jiang Yunzheng gradually pursed her lips.
Xu Suyuan probably guessed her identity.
By the time we returned to Qi Mansion from Erlang Temple, it was almost evening.
Unexpectedly, there was someone guarding the door of Qi Mansion.
Butler Luo stood beside Yu Zheng, "Mr. Yu, Doctor Jiang and the others are back."
Yu Zheng cried out and looked outside, and sure enough, he saw that the person driving the horse was Qingying.
