Chapter 173 Catching an adulterer
After Princess Hengyang and Xiao Qinghe left, Wei Lingze did not go home, but sat down in a teahouse at the city gate.
Not long after, Xing Zhou came to report: "Master, the people from Wuyou Pavilion have set off."
After a cup of tea, Lan Shu appeared in Wei Lingze's sight riding a horse.
Behind him, there was another person following.
The man was dressed in a silver-gray brocade robe, with a long sword on his waist. He had broad shoulders and long legs. Although he was wearing half a mask and his full face could not be seen, he was dressed in fine clothes and rode a horse, full of vigor and vitality.
Wei Lingze was originally calm and composed, but when he saw the person behind Lan Shu, he suddenly clenched his teacup. Xing Zhou even exclaimed in surprise: "Master, this person looks like you!"
With a "pop" sound.
Wei Lingze crushed the teacup in his hand. The sharp fragments pierced his palm, and blood immediately gushed out. Xingzhou hurried forward to help him treat the wound, but Wei Lingze seemed to have no sense of pain. He just stared at Xingzhou coldly: "What did you just say?"
Xingzhou's scalp tingled when he was looked at. He raised his hand and slapped himself twice: "I spoke out of turn. I beg for forgiveness, Master!"
The eldest young master is of noble status, how can the male prostitutes in Wuyou Pavilion be compared with him?
But that person really looks like the young master.
Not only his clothes, but also his demeanor, looked exactly like the young master from three years ago when he was still injured.
Xingzhou changed his words, but Wei Lingze's expression did not ease at all.
Ever since he was injured, his memories of the past with Xiao Qinghe had become increasingly faint. Whenever he saw Xiao Qinghe's resistance to him, all that came to his mind was his resentment towards her and the Xiao family.
It was obvious that the two families were old friends and he and she were childhood sweethearts, but when something happened to him, the Xiao family postponed the wedding even though they knew they would be blamed.
He felt this was a betrayal and contempt for him.
But when he saw that figure today, he suddenly realized that those memories had not been forgotten by him, but were engraved deep into his bones.
He remembered that he had an identical silver-gray dress. He wore that dress to attend Xiao Qinghe's coming-of-age ceremony. After the ceremony, he took Xiao Qinghe and left the house, leaving behind all the guests.
He took her boating on the lake and prepared gorgeous fireworks for her. Under the fireworks, he nervously and carefully kissed her cheek.
That was the first time he kissed her.
It is not as anxious and rough as after marriage, but full of anticipation and joy.
She was embarrassed and annoyed, and pushed him away angrily, but her eyes were filled with joy.
At that time, he thought that this was the girl he wanted to marry. He would spend his whole life loving, caring for her and never let her suffer any injustice.
But later, he forgot all of this.
Wei Lingze suddenly became uncontrollably flustered.
He was confident that Xiao Qinghe would not fall in love with anyone else, but if Wuyou Pavilion created a replacement for his childhood, he would definitely lose!
Wei Lingze frowned due to his uncontrollable panic. He stood up quickly, walked out of the teahouse quickly, and rode his horse out of the city.
At the foot of Yunshan Temple.
Xiao Yechen and Lan Shu walked up the mountain from the small path.
Xiao Yechen had washed off the makeup on his face and pressed his thin lips into a line. Even with the mask on, it was clear that he was extremely unhappy.
Lan Shu sighed and said quietly, "I already told you that I could find someone else to act with me. My disguise skills are already superb. No matter who wears this outfit, they will look about 60% like that Young Master Wei. If you hate him so much, why did you take on this job? Aren't you afraid of disgusting yourself?"
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Xiao Yechen spoke coldly, glaring at Lan Shu fiercely through the mask.
Lan Shu was not afraid at all, instead she smiled with her eyes curved.
This man is willing to pretend to be a love rival for the sake of his beloved. He is no longer as cold and ruthless as before. He is clearly a romantic man.
This kind of person is the most soft-hearted.
"I heard that Madam Shen didn't discuss today's plan with Madam Wei. I don't know how sad Madam Wei would be when she saw her husband rushing over to catch her cheating. Madam Wei has guessed your identity, but you didn't inform her in advance. Aren't you afraid that she will blame you too?"
Xiao Yechen didn't respond, but just quickened his pace.
"I'm just bored and want to talk. Master, please don't leave me alone in this desolate mountain and wilderness. I'm so scared~"
Lan Shu looked weak, but she followed Xiao Yechen steadily and was not left behind.
Xiao Yechen listened to his deliberately prolonged voice, his temples twitched twice, and he couldn't help but say: "Get lost!"
***
Lan Shu and Xiao Yechen moved very quickly. Wei Lingze chased them out of the city but did not find them, so he could only chase them all the way to Yunshan Temple.
Yunshan Temple is very popular, and many people come from far and wide to visit. Even near noon, the mountain path is still bustling with people.
Wei Lingze climbed up the mountain as quickly as possible, but the novice monk guarding the gate said he had never seen Lan Shu and Xiao Yechen. Wei Lingze frowned and asked, "Is Princess Hengyang in the temple now?"
"Amitabha, if the donor wishes to ask the Buddha for advice, please enter the temple and bow down. This is a place to accumulate good deeds, not a place to seek help."
The novice monk clasped his hands together, bowed, and ignored him.
Wei Lingze pursed his lips and started searching in the temple on his own.
At the same time, Shen Qingyuan also brought Shen Qingyu and others to the temple gate.
Shen Qingyuan was in good physical condition and climbed up the mountain in one breath without getting red in the face or out of breath. However, Shen Qingyu was extremely tired, and Mo Yunwan was even more fragile. She could not climb anymore halfway, but Shen Qingyuan would not let them stop, so Shen Qingyu had to carry Mo Yunwan up the mountain.
When Shen Qingyu saw the temple gate shrouded in Buddha's light, he almost thought he had arrived at the Hall of Hell.
"Sanlang, are you okay?"
Mo Yunwan held a handkerchief to wipe Shen Qingyu's sweat. Shen Qingyu forced himself to cheer up: "I'm fine!"
If he doesn’t catch Cao Chunxi in bed today, he won’t be named Shen!
Thinking of this, Shen Qingyu rushed into the temple arrogantly, but looking at the pilgrims coming and going, he was a little at a loss as to where to start.
Where is Cao Chunxi now?
How could he catch the adulterous couple in bed without alerting them?
Just as he was lost in thought, someone in the crowd suddenly called out to him, "Third Young Master, you're finally here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young servant in a coarse cloth shorts came up to him.
Shen Qingyu frowned: "Who are you?"
"Replying to the Third Young Master, I am the groom of the mansion. Today, I brought the eldest young lady to the temple. After entering the temple, the eldest young lady went to the meditation room where the female relatives lived. I have been guarding the door the whole time, but the eldest young lady did not come out."
This person was specifically instructed by Mo Yunwan to keep an eye on Chunxi.
Shen Qingyu immediately knew the direction. He turned around and walked towards the Zen temple where the women were. However, he was stopped by the martial monks in the temple before he had gone far.
"The women's Zen temple is ahead. Please stay."
"My sister-in-law is in there. I want to go find her."
Shen Qingyu said as he pushed forward, but was pushed away by one of the monks. "There are only devout pilgrims here, no worldly troubles. Please wait outside. When the meditation is over, you will naturally meet the person you want to see."
Shen Qingyu was anxious to catch the adulterer, so he couldn't wait any longer. He immediately shouted, "She came here to have an affair under the pretext of burning incense. If you stop me like this, I'm not afraid that bitch will defile the pure land of Buddhism."
As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell all around.
The warrior monks who were originally just blocking Shen Qingyu came over and surrounded him, just like the angry Vajra enshrined in the temple.
