"Li Qianru, what are you doing?"
Xie Yunche lifted Shen Jiaojiao from his arms and looked at Li Qianru with disgust.
"Look at your ugly face, you keep spouting foul language. How can you look like a rich lady at all?"
"I will tell my uncle later and ask him to discipline you."
"No."
Li Qianru shook her head in horror. Life was already very difficult now. If her cousin went to the mansion and told her again, she would be sent to the family temple.
"No, cousin, I know I was wrong. I will never come to Prince Yan's Mansion again. Please don't tell my father. I'm leaving right now."
After saying this, he ran into the carriage in a trance. Seeing this, the coachman quickly drove the carriage away.
Shen Jiaojiao was still leaning in Xie Yunche's arms, with a white and tender hand placed on his chest, forming a sharp contrast with the crimson python robe on his body.
"Jiaojiao, my cousin has left."
As he spoke, he exerted a little force with his hands and pulled Shen Jiaojiao out of his arms.
Shen Jiaojiao didn't stay in his arms, but retreated according to his strength.
"Your Majesty~"
Xie Yunche saw that her originally delicate face was red and swollen, and his expression froze slightly. "I'll ask the court doctor to see you later."
As he spoke, he walked towards the mansion, and Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly followed behind.
"Your Highness, there's no need to be so troublesome. Jiaojiao can just go to your courtyard."
"Um."
Xie Yunche paused for a moment, but did not refuse.
Shen Jiaojiao's lips curled slightly. As expected, all men are the same. As long as you are willing to work hard, even an iceberg can be moved by him.
"Your Highness, the wound on this girl's face is a little red and swollen, but it's nothing serious. Apply this ointment twice a day and it will soon be back to normal."
The doctor in Prince Yan's mansion put down a porcelain bottle, saluted, and turned away.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at Xie Yunche with tears in her eyes as she expressed gratitude. She stretched out a hand and carefully tugged at Xie Yunche's clothes. Seeing that he did not refuse, she showed some happiness on her face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing her like this, Xie Yunche's heart beat uncontrollably faster for a moment.
She has been here for several months, and someone has been watching her during this time, but no abnormal behavior has been noticed.
There are only two possibilities now, either I have wronged her, or she is hiding it too deeply.
Thinking about this, he stared at Shen Jiaojiao, as if trying to find some traces of guilt in his face or eyes.
After looking for a long time, he found nothing. Instead, Shen Jiaojiao was shy and timid under his gaze. Her misty eyes looked even more pitiful after shedding tears.
"My Lord, you look at me like this, I..."
The rest of the words were not spoken, but both of them understood the meaning of the unspoken words.
"Ahem."
Xie Yunche cleared his throat and said, "I have something else to do. Please leave first."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please take care of your health and don't overwork yourself."
Xie Yunche's expression softened, "I understand, please go down."
Shen Jiaojiao didn't say anything else. She straightened herself up slightly and left.
I walked out for a long time before I touched my face. It seems that today was not completely fruitless.
However, the effect was still a little lacking. Xie Yunche was very wary of him, so this wouldn't work.
A gleam of light flashed in her eyes. It seemed that she had to think of another way.
Ciguang Temple in Beijing
"Ali, we're here."
Pei Yu got off his horse and helped Chen Li down from the carriage. Both of them had nothing to do today so they came to Ciguang Temple. Last time, Pei Yu said that he would bring her to Ciguang Temple to worship his mother.
"Let's go."
The expression on Pei Yu's face was no different from usual, but Chen Li still keenly felt that he was not in a good mood.
Chen Li moved closer to him and held his hand with her wide sleeves. As soon as their hands touched, Pei Yu held Chen Li's hand in return, with a strong force but not enough to hurt her.
Ciguang Temple is well-known throughout the capital, so there are many carriages parked at the foot of the mountain. Not only dignitaries, but also many ordinary people come here to burn incense and worship, so a small market has formed at the foot of the mountain, which is very lively.
The two walked up the stairs side by side. Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Chen Li did not talk to him. She glanced at the surrounding scenery from time to time and slowly arrived at Ciguang Temple on the mountain.
What he needs at this time is company. No matter how much you say, it will be useless. He needs to relieve this situation by himself.
After all, so many years have passed and Pei Yu has grown up. Perhaps the affection in his heart was ignited at this moment, so he was a little silent.
The gate of Ciguang Temple is grand and spectacular, with many pilgrims coming in and out.
"Master Pei, you are here."
Not long after the two entered the temple, a middle-aged monk recognized Pei Yu.
"Master Huiguang." Pei Yu performed a Buddhist salute to Master Huiguang.
"I wonder why the donor is here today?"
Pei Yu looked at Chen Li beside him and said, "This is my fiancée. Bring her to my mother."
"Hello, benefactor," Master Huiguang looked at the two of them with a kind gaze. "I'm sure your father would be happy for you if he knew about this in the afterlife."
"Thank you for your kind words, Master."
Next, Master Huiguang led the way for the two of them, and Pei Yu chatted with him from time to time.
Chen Li discovered that Pei Yu was completely different here than he was outside. In this temple, he was no longer the high and mighty King Jingnan outside, but just an ordinary child who came to worship his mother.
"We are here, please come in, two donors."
"Thank you, Master."
After expressing their gratitude, the two of them walked into the Zen room. There was a perpetually burning lamp in the room, and behind the perpetually burning lamp was the spirit tablet of Pei Yu's mother.
Pei Yu took a few incense sticks and lit them, then gave some to Chen Li. His face was full of tenderness. "Mother, this is Ah Li. She is Zi An's lover and will be your daughter-in-law."
Chen Li also knelt beside him, "Mother, I am Chen Li, your future daughter-in-law."
Pei Yu looked at her with a smile, "Your future daughter-in-law is still calling me mother?"
Chen Li raised an eyebrow, "Then I call you aunt?"
"No," Pei Yu's face was full of dominance, "Since you called me mother, then you are my wife, and you can't change your mind."
Pei Yu stayed in the room for a quarter of an hour. He told his mother some recent events and then came out.
After leaving the room, the depressed expression on his face disappeared.
"A-Li, the scenery of Ciguang Temple is quite nice. I'll take you around. The vegetarian food here is also very delicious. We can have lunch here."
"OK!"
He was in high spirits now, and Chen Li did not spoil his mood.
Pei Yu took Chen Li to a small hill opposite the temple, which was also within the temple grounds. From there, one could overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Ciguang Temple.
