Chapter 85 The Temple is Robbed
She stepped aside to let the two pass. The monk, holding his Buddhist beads, performed a one-handed salute and said, "Amitabha!"
Xiao Mo stood beside him in a Taoist robe, which was completely different from his usual attire.
Xu Shuyao just took a glance and lowered her head.
Xiao Mo and the abbot stood on the steps and looked back, their sight just falling on the top of the woman's head. There was a pure white camellia pinned on her head, which seemed to still have the fresh scent of morning dew.
Soon, the two passed each other.
After Xu Shuyao returned, she did not mention her meeting with the prince to the old lady.
Maybe he has something important to do.
In the mansion of Marquis Qingyuan, after Wang Shaowei returned home, he went to his eldest brother's courtyard and happened to meet his nephew Wang Qingyan.
Wang Wendong has been more friendly to his son recently, and the little guy has been clinging to him. Even when faced with his father's occasional cold face, he remains unmoved.
At this time, he was doing horse stance in the yard. Although it was a bit strenuous, he still endured it and did not complain of being tired.
Wang Shaowei pursed his lips at his elder brother, "He's only so obedient with you, but... he's still too young right now, so just standing there for a while will be fine."
Wang Wendong smiled and waved to his son.
Wang Qingyan was just about to run to his second uncle when he suddenly cried out "Ouch".
The two people standing around gathered around, "What's wrong?"
in unison.
Wang Qingyan pouted: "My feet are numb."
The two of them stood still, and the child ran away happily after a while.
Leave the two brothers talking in the yard.
Wang Shaowei looked at his brother and asked, "What's wrong with you? Weren't you the good guy before? Why have you changed these days?"
Wang Wendong couldn't explain why, but he felt a little distressed when he saw the child lying in the young lady's arms that day.
"Really?" he laughed.
"Yes, absolutely. It was just an accident. Fortunately, it turned out well. Don't take it too seriously." Wang Shaowei advised his elder brother.
Then he remembered something else, "You don't know yet, right? Mother wants to marry Miss Xu to Zhou Yan."
Wang Wendong seemed not to have heard clearly: "Which Madam Xu?"
As soon as the question was asked, he began to understand, and added: "What a mess!"
It is really harsh to say this about your own mother, and it is obvious that you are very angry.
However, as the eldest son and heir to the title, Wang Wendong has always been majestic in the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Although Wang Shaowei was surprised by his brother's excitement, he did not take it to heart.
After he left, Wang Qingyan, who had just run off somewhere, came over and asked, "Who are you talking about, uncle?"
Seeing his father glaring at him, he added, "You're the little sister who saved me that day, aren't you?"
Wang Wendong didn't expect his child to be so observant. He didn't know what to say. Then he heard his son mutter again, "Why doesn't Father marry her?"
When Wang Wendong heard this suddenly, his heart was shocked.
yes!
Why doesn't he marry?
Suddenly, I thought of the young lady gently patting Yan'er's back. Under the circumstances at that time, she did not know Wang Qingyan, but she was able to help him. This just proved that she was a kind person by nature.
The key is that Yan Ge'er also likes her very much.
So in the evening, when Zhou and the maid came to pick up his grandson, he also mentioned today's trip to Qingning Temple.
"I heard that mother took cousin Yan to Qingning Temple?"
Zhou was also filled with anger when she thought of Zhou Yan. Seeing her eldest son asking about it, she did not hide it from him, "That day, that young lady saved Yan'er. I was really grateful, so I wanted to help him find a marriage, but..." Zhou was a little unable to finish the words, "but your cousin has other ideas."
After Zhou finished speaking, she said, "Forget it. It's useless to upset the young lady. No good thing will turn into a bad thing."
Wang Wendong heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
"It's okay if it doesn't work out!" he said, looking at his mother.
Zhou agreed with this, but she did not deliberately try to explore the deeper meaning of her eldest son's words.
She paused and nodded, "Who said it wasn't?"
Then she went to tease Yan Ge'er and said to him, "You are still young and your child is small. You should make a decision as soon as possible about the candidates that mother mentioned last time."
Wang Wendong smiled and nodded again.
Zhou felt a little relieved. Her daughter-in-law had been gone for more than two years. When she talked to her eldest son about remarrying before, he always looked repulsive.
But today, for some reason, I nodded.
After Zhou took Yan'er away, Wang Wendong's mood did not change.
It was rare for him to make such a decision, but once he made up his mind and thought about it carefully, he felt that everything was good.
The Marquis of Qingyuan's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion are related by marriage.
Her cousin will probably marry into the family by the end of the year!
Fortunately, Miss Xu was not from the Duke Cheng’s Mansion, otherwise, if two sisters married two brothers, people would probably gossip about them.
I heard that she has a younger brother who is not very old and is currently studying at the Imperial College.
Wang Wendong felt that he should help out in the future, after all, he also had a child.
Only when two people care about each other can life get better.
As for my mother, she should agree, right?
He is a second wife and has a son. His mother should be happy that he agrees to marry now.
He suddenly thought of the young lady's beautiful face and felt a little excited.
The maid who was serving the writing staff saw that her master had a book spread out in front of the desk and had not turned a page for a long time.
His face was happy at one moment and sad at another, and he looked very strange.
In Qingning Temple, in order for Xu Shuyao to be able to return to the city to celebrate the Shangsi Festival, Old Madam Xiao has decided to return home on the morning of March 1st.
On the evening of February 29th, the maids gathered together all the odds and ends.
But at night, Xu Shuyao was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by the noisy noise outside.
The two maids had now come out of the small room. The master and servants looked at each other with uneasy expressions.
Xu Shuyao put on her clothes, sat up, and stood inside the door to listen.
"I wonder what brings you all here so late at night?" The speaker was Old Madam Xiao.
"The temple was robbed, otherwise we wouldn't come to bother the old lady so late at night." It was a man's voice. Xu Shuyao guessed that it should be a monk from Qingning Temple.
She was startled, and then she heard the man say, "Please, old man, please be kind enough to let us go in and search a little. It won't take much time."
Since they were going to search, Xu Shuyao put on her outer clothes, pinned her hair with a hairpin, and signaled the two maids to open the door.
The person who came was indeed a monk from the temple.
But she didn't know what was so good to steal in a temple that required such a large force.
The candles in the room were now lit, the door opened, and she stood aside.
After searching the old lady's house, the men walked towards her again.
The monks looked around with lanterns in hand and saw a young lady of good looks standing inside the door, with two maids staring at them eagerly.
Moreover, the bed was messy, and the room was filled with women's things. After just a glance, several people looked away uncomfortably.
When he reached the door, he said, "Young benefactor, please take a rest. Sorry for disturbing you."
Then he walked out of the courtyard.
