Chapter 630: Incense Money



Jiang Si leaned against the car wall and asked casually, "What do you think of my relationship with Princess Qi?"

Ah Man said crisply, "Not good."

The master has a good temper and is kind-hearted. He is very nice to people who get along with him, such as cousin Dou.

But when it comes to Princess Qi, the master has never had a good expression.

"Well, I also think that the relationship is not good, but Princess Qi asked me to go to burn incense together--"

Ah Man covered his mouth and whispered, "My Lord, the Princess of Qi is being so attentive for no reason. She must be a traitor or a thief. She must be harboring a lot of evil intentions."

Jiang Si nodded slightly: "I think so too."

Ah Man blinked and asked in confusion, "Master, why did you agree to go with her to burn incense?"

Jiang Si smiled: "If I don't agree, how can I know what bad things she is going to do?"

Ah Man heard this and said excitedly: "Master, you are right. Let's see what kind of trouble she can make, and then we can return it!"

"I think so too, so you should be aware of this and don't panic when something unexpected happens."

Ah Man nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I will definitely not panic."

Having followed the master for so long, what kind of storms and waves has she not seen?

Jiang Si thought for a moment and warned, "Pay special attention to protecting yourself. Remember, I'm well prepared and won't be tricked by her."

Ah Man nodded, not quite understanding, "I understand."

Jiang Si looked at Ah Man's expression and sighed in his heart.

In her previous life, it was Ah Man who accompanied her to death. Therefore, even though Ah Man was not smart and sensible enough, and was a bit reckless and rude, she was still the best maid in her eyes.

If a maid is willing to protect you with her life, then all your shortcomings are no longer shortcomings.

She was willing to let Ah Man remain so innocent and straightforward.

Ah Man was quiet for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Master, what bad things do you think Princess Qi will do?"

Jiang Si smiled softly: "Who knows? We will know after it happens. We just have to wait and see."

Ah Man nodded and started leaning over the window to look out again, this time at the carriage in front.

That was the carriage of Prince Qi's palace, and sitting in the carriage were Princess Qi and her personal maid.

Ah Man tilted his head and thought: Never mind, if Princess Qi wants to harm the master, she will just strike first and kill her. At worst, she can pay with her life later. She cannot let her harm the master.

The little maid accidentally caught a glimpse of the driver who drove them, and hurriedly lowered the window curtain and said to Jiang Si, "Master, today's driver is not Lao Qin!"

She knew Lao Qin's abilities and that he was very reliable, so she felt a little panicked when she saw that the driver had been replaced by someone else.

Jiang Si said calmly, "It's okay. Old Qin needs to take a break once in a while."

Lao Qin is too serious and responsible. With Lao Qin around, what will happen if that stupid Princess Qi can't do anything?

Ah Man curled his lips and muttered quietly: "The master rarely goes out, and Lao Qin rests every day."

Despite saying so, the little maidservant was no longer bothered.

In her opinion, since it was the master's decision, it must have a reason. She couldn't figure it out for a moment, just because she was not smart enough.

Soon the carriage was out of the city and traveled a long distance before finally stopping as the sun gradually climbed higher in the sky.

"Master, we've arrived at Baiyun Temple." Ah Man jumped down first and stretched out his hand to help Jiang Si get out of the car.

Jiang Si raised his eyes and glanced at the temple gate.

This was her second visit to Baiyun Temple after her rebirth.

Last time I met my elder sister, we had many thrills along the way, and this time it was still thrilling...

Jiang Si calmed down and greeted Princess Qi who got off the carriage.

"Seventh brother's wife, let's go in."

A monk who was waiting at the door had already seen the two people coming. He put his hands together and bowed, saying, "Please come in, two donors."

Jiang Si walked inside and found that there were no pilgrims in the temple.

Princess Qi smiled and explained, "We informed them in advance to prevent anyone from disturbing my seventh brother's wife."

Jiang Si said calmly, "Fourth sister-in-law is too considerate of me. In fact, it is not necessary to do this. There is no need to make a big fuss to pray for the queen. It would be bad if the mountain temple turned away other pilgrims because of us."

It was obvious that she wanted to stop other pilgrims in order to harm her, and now she wanted her to be grateful. Princess Qi had a very good plan and was too shameless.

Princess Qi smiled awkwardly: "I thought Seventh Brother's wife liked quietness. Next time we come to burn incense and fulfill our vows, she won't be like this anymore."

Jiang Si glanced at Princess Qi with a half-smile, her eyes sparkling with light: "Fourth sister-in-law, will you come with me in the future?"

Meeting those dark eyes, a chill rose from the bottom of Princess Qi's heart.

After today, as long as the plan goes smoothly, Princess Yan will be a dead person. She will certainly not come here with a dead person again.

Thinking about the Jiang family’s problems really makes one feel uneasy.

"Fourth sister-in-law?" Jiang looked innocent, as if he was waiting for an answer stubbornly.

Princess Qi suppressed her nausea and forced a smile, saying, "Of course I have to come together."

But I even pouted several times in my heart: Bodhisattva, please don’t take her words seriously…

Seeing that Princess Baqi was upset, Jiang Si felt better and followed the monks to the Main Hall to burn incense.

Walking into the solemn and clean hall and coming to the Buddha, Jiang Si slowly knelt on the cushion and prayed sincerely.

Naturally, she was not praying for Concubine Xian, but for Yu Jian who was far away.

Pray that he will return safely soon and bring back his brother's body smoothly, so that his brother can return to his hometown and return to his roots.

Princess Qi was also very pious. Her request had nothing to do with Princess Xian either. She silently said in her heart, "Buddha, may your wish come true. May my husband and I be deeply in love and live together till old age..."

As for the incident that harmed Jiang Si, Princess Qi did not dare to mention it in front of the Buddha.

No matter what, harming others is not a good thing, and the Buddha will certainly not help. Princess Qi is aware of this.

After they lit incense, they should donate money for the incense according to the unspoken rules.

Princess Qi glanced at Jiang Si.

Jiang seemed surprised: "Are you going to donate money for incense?"

Princess Qi was embarrassed for a moment and nodded.

Why are you asking such an obvious question?

She just glanced at Jiang and was a little hesitant, not knowing how much money Jiang would donate.

It would be fine if the two donated about the same amount, even if Jiang donated more. But if the difference in amount was too big, it would be embarrassing for her.

Thinking about this, Princess Qi felt that she should donate first.

She donated first, and if Jiang had any sense of etiquette, she wouldn't have donated much more than her. To put it another way, if Jiang really did this, people would laugh at Princess Yan for being ignorant.

Princess Qi had just come to this thought when she heard Jiang Sisun sighing, "I thought it was different from before. Ah Man——"

Ah Man responded immediately and took out a stack of banknotes: "Master, this is the incense money donated by our princess."

The banknotes of the largest bank in the capital were stacked thickly with each note having a denomination of ten taels of silver. Such a stack would be worth at least a thousand taels.

Princess Qi stared at the stack of silver bills in the maid's hand and her eyes darkened.
