The hand in Yi Ling’s sleeve suddenly tightened, staring fiercely at the mean person before her who was wearing an infernally gleeful smile. "What are you doing here?"
Ji Xiulan snickered. "What? If Sister Yun can come to pray and light incense in this temple, can’t I? You sound so cold, Sister Yun. We’re sisters, we should save each other some face when we’re out. Why start with a fight?"
"You!" Yi Ling felt a surge of anger. She turned to look at Ji Xinhe and saw Ji Xinhe still looking as calm as ever, seeming unsurprised by the chaos in the backyard, or by the sudden appearance of Ji Xiulan!
What could the only possibility be?
Yi Ling turned pale, but dared not think further. Even the slightest unexpected turn of events today could have disastrous consequences. She was nervous precisely because she dared not allow any deviations from her plan.
Even though she had always had a little suspicion and unease, fortunately, nothing had gone wrong until now. Except for Ji Xiulan, who had suddenly appeared before her, taking pleasure in her misfortune!
Yi Ling absolutely didn’t believe that Ji Xiulan’s appearance here was just a coincidence!
Especially when Ji Xinhe still looked so calm, as if everything was within her expectations.
This made her start to feel anxious, an unprecedented kind of anxiousness.
"What exactly are you doing here?!" Yi Ling felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest, but she still forcefully maintained her calm and asked harshly.
Ji Xiulan snorted coldly. "Whatever Sister Yun is doing here, I’m doing the same. Didn’t I just say that there’s a thief in the temple who stole something from me, too? I heard they might be here, so we all came here to catch the thief. Did Sister Yun also come to catch the thief?"
Yi Ling suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on her forehead. The little maid who had "stolen" her bracelet just now was her own servant, all in the name of creating an excuse to lure Ji Xinhe into the backyard to expose the affair. At the same time, she would have her own maid bring everyone else from the temple here to bear witness to the impending chaos.
Looking at the situation now, it seemed that nothing had gone wrong. Except for the extra presence of Ji Xiulan, everyone else who was supposed to come had indeed come. The following proceedings should have gone smoothly as well, but Yi Ling could feel that the upcoming situation might not turn out as planned.
As Ji Xiulan spoke, she moved closer to Yi Ling and whispered in her ear. "What are you afraid of, Sister Yun? Isn’t everything going according to your plan? I even helped you by gathering everyone from the temple here ahead of time. Shouldn’t you thank me now?"
As she spoke, Ji Xiulan raised an eyebrow and revealed a smile full of profound implications.
These words made Yi Ling shudder from head to toe, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her. Was everything really going according to her plan?
How could Ji Xiulan possibly know her plan?!
Yi Ling quickly realized that the idiot Ji Xiulan couldn’t have possibly thought of all this. The only person who could potentially see through everything was Ji Xinhe!
Yi Ling suddenly turned her head to look at the beautiful and serene woman behind her. Terrored, she shakily raised a trembling finger and asked, "You, you, you knew all along?"
With a light smile, Xin He casually responded, "Know what? Weren’t you here to catch a thief? Everyone’s here now, why not start looking?"
"I..." Yi Ling suddenly felt a deep chill in Xin He’s smile, which terrified her.
Before Yi Ling could finish her sentence, Ji Xiulan suddenly exclaimed in mock surprise. "Ah! That little thief ran into that room! Let’s hurry over and take a look."
Upon hearing Ji Xiulan’s words, the crowd immediately rushed towards the room.
Without asking any further questions, the monk in the lead kicked open the room door. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The crowd swarmed in, and chaos immediately ensued when someone shrieked in horror.
In the room, Sun Yaowen and Song Ya Lan lay intertwined.
The little monk leading the charge turned red with embarrassment upon seeing this scene. Trembling, he pointed indignantly at the naked man and woman on the bed. "This temple is a sacred place! How dare you behave so shamelessly in front of Buddha!"
"Oh my God! Who are these people? They have a sexcapade in a temple! The world is really going to the dogs!" The servants who followed exclaimed, acting all righteous. However, they didn’t take their eyes off the scene, looking up and down at the bodies on display.
"Go report to the Abbot quickly! What on earth is going on!" The little monks blushed and fled in shame.
Song Ya Lan, affected by the soul-draining fragrance, was still somewhat dizzy, barely able to open her eyelids.
It wasn’t until the noise outside grew louder that she slowly regained consciousness. When she woke up and opened her eyes, she found a room full of people staring at her. Her gaze gradually focused as she moved from confusion, to alertness, to complete shock. She screamed and quickly tried to cover herself with the sheets.
Facing the unashamed stares of the men and women in the room, she almost shouted out loud in her anger. "Scoundrels! What are you ogling at? Get out!"
The people in the room weren’t the most distressing thing to her, the real problem was the lecherous man by her side!
Where was her Mu Lang? How had her Mu Lang morphed into this sleazy man!
Song Ya Lan shivered with anger, crying and shouting.
Song Ya Lan’s sobbing could be heard coming from the room, but Ji Xinhe had no plans to go inside. She knew what a mess it was inside, so she didn’t want to join in.
Instead, she turned to look at Yi Ling who seemed to be in a trance, and asked with a smile. "Isn’t this the scene you’ve been looking forward to? Why, aren’t you going in to take a look?"
How could Yi Ling dare go in? Judging from Song Ya Lan’s breakdown, the situation inside was definitely not what she had planned.
