Chapter 476, Mrs. Bai
Perhaps it was because the woman's eyes were so cold and unconcealed that even Luo Zhenxuan found it hard to ignore. He turned to look at Kong Xiyan: "Do you know her?"
"No." Kong Xiyan shook her head: "But she definitely knows me."
"Do you need me to check?"
"No need." Kong Xiyan curled the corners of her lips: "Since she's here, she will come to me to introduce herself."
"Yeah." Luo Zhenxuan thought about it and took Kong Xiyan's hand and walked towards the place where they received the food plates.
Here, the woman slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at the porridge and side dishes on the table.
"Mrs. Bai, please eat a little more." The man with a scar on his face whispered to her, "You haven't eaten anything."
"No, I'm a little carsick and don't have much appetite." Mrs. Bai shook her head and stretched out her slender hand: "I want to go worship the gods."
The scarred man immediately stood up and helped Mrs. Bai walk out. The others wanted to follow immediately, and they stood up with a loud noise.
"You guys keep eating." Madam Bai glanced at them and said, "A grown man like me has the same appetite as a woman like me? I'll be fine as long as Lao Wu is with me."
After hearing what the lady said, they all sat down and continued to eat.
Only the fifth brother, named Scar Man, helped his wife out.
A black umbrella opened with a whoosh.
Drop by drop, the rain falls on the umbrella.
Kong Xiyan looked back and met the gaze of the beautiful lady.
It was faint and cold, like a poisonous snake crawling in the grass, staring at a sparrow far away on the treetop.
The umbrella tilted downward, blocking the lady's view, revealing only her beautiful figure and slender wrists under her open white coat.
On the wrist, a red line is very conspicuous.
Turning around, the lady walked away.
The strong men who stayed in the dining hall were still eating steamed buns and drinking porridge with pickles.
Kong Xiyan waited until the lady turned the corner before she looked away.
"This pickle is so crispy." Luo Zhenxuan picked up a piece of pickled radish and put it in Kong Xiyan's bowl: "It will definitely taste good with porridge, you should try it."
"Yeah." Kong Xiyan responded: "Don't leave Zhong Yanyong today."
"You hit him so hard, I thought you were determined to teach him a lesson." Luo Zhenxuan heard the concern for Zhong Yanyong in Kong Xiyan's words, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, he is my brother-in-law, I will protect him."
After all, he has been able to escape so many assassination attempts over the years, so he must have some ability to protect himself.
"What are you thinking about?" Kong Xiyan glanced at him and said, "It will be easier for me to protect you two if you are together."
“…” Luo Zhenxuan’s mouth twitched.
On the other side, a beautiful lady in a white coat stood in front of the statue, with her hands clasped together in front of her eyebrows. Lao Wu, who was standing beside her, handed her incense and was about to speak when he was stopped by another person.
When the man took the incense from Lao Wu's hand, Lao Wu was still a little resistant, but seeing that his wife didn't say anything, he gave the incense and stepped aside without saying a word.
"Madam Bai, this is incense."
Mrs. Bai finally opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice. She curled her lips and took the incense from Meng Xichao's hand: "Mr. Meng, what a coincidence."
"Indeed, I didn't expect Madam Bai to come here in person." Meng Xizhao, who was standing beside Madam Bai, clasped his fists and bowed to the statue. "What is Madam Bai here to ask for?"
"What do you want?" Mrs. Bai chuckled. "My old man was a deeply affectionate and loyal man. Before he left, he left everything to me. I have money and power. I don't know what else I want."
After Mrs. Bai paid her respects, she handed the incense to Lao Wu, who placed it in the incense burner.
Madam Bai raised her eyes to the statue and said, "Just ask for fairness."
"Madam Bai, you are truly beautiful and kind." A sly glint flashed in Meng Xichao's eyes. "I wonder how long Madam Bai plans to stay in the Taoist temple this time?"
"Two days is enough." Mrs. Bai turned and walked out of the hall, and Lao Wu immediately followed with an umbrella.
"Old Five, stop hanging around me. I didn't see you eat anything just now. Go and have a rest." Madam Bai looked at Old Five: "With Young Master Meng here, I'm safe."
"This..." Lao Wu glanced at Meng Xichao distrustfully, but the latter seemed to be completely unaware of Lao Wu's caution and took the umbrella on his own initiative: "Mrs. Bai, this way, please."
Lao Wu followed for a few steps from a distance and finally returned to the dining hall. He ate another steamed bun, and his eyes occasionally fell on Kong Xiyan and Luo Zhenxuan who were not far away.
Kong Xiyan finished the last mouthful of porridge, stood up and said to Luo Zhenxuan, "I'm going to pack a lunch box for breakfast. Please help me take it back to that idiot."
"Okay." Luo Zhenxuan responded and looked back, just in time to meet Lao Wu's gaze, who showed no intention of dodging.
There is really no awareness of peeping at all.
After taking the porridge and pickles, and filling it with steamed buns and pastries, Kong Xiyan closed the lid of the lunch box and handed it to Luo Zhenxuan: "Let him eat it while it's hot."
"Okay." Luo Zhenxuan took the lunch box and whispered to Kong Xiyan, "You should be careful too."
"Yeah." Kong Xiyan nodded, and then she used her junior brother's umbrella to go to the main hall.
The raindrops hit the eaves, making a tinkling sound. The wind chimes under the eaves were blown by the wind, and the tinkling sound was long and distant.
"Huh..." Taking a deep breath, Kong Xiyan lit a stick of incense and placed it in the incense burner.
At this time, there were footsteps behind her. Kong Xiyan looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was the beautiful lady she had met in the dining hall before.
Looking closer, Kong Xiyan saw the traces of time around her eyes. Her eyes were slightly red, and she looked so pitiful.
It is not difficult to see what a rare beauty this lady must have been in her youth.
"Have you cried?" Kong Xiyan met her eyes.
"No, it was just the wind." Madam Bai raised her hand and gently touched her sore eyes. "I got sick early in life. Now I can't help crying whenever the wind blows."
"Have you been to the hospital?"
"I've been there, but it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause." Madam Bai looked at Kong Xiyan and asked, "Are you a monk from this Taoist temple?"
"I guess so." Kong Xiyan took the fortune-telling box next to her and said, "Want a fortune-telling? I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you one for free."
"Thank you, I don't believe that." Mrs. Bai smiled and shook her head.
"You don't believe this, but you came to the Taoist temple? You're quite humorous!" Kong Xiyan laughed: "Why? Are you going to teach the gods in our Taoist temple about materialism?"
"Haha." The beautiful woman with tears in her eyes smiled, like morning dew still hanging on the trembling petals of a lily. "You are so funny. Are all Taoists so humorous nowadays?"
"It's rare for someone to praise me like this." Kong Xiyan shook the lottery box in her hand: "Really not going to have one?"
Mrs. Bai looked at Kong Xiyan deeply, then reached out and drew a stick at random from the stick box and handed it to Kong Xiyan.
"What do you want?"
"fair."
