"Old madam, this is really not my fault. It's also the wrong time for Miss Yu San to come back." The mother-in-law said sincerely.
"Why did this little girl come back at this time? If it had been later, Crown Prince Xuanping would have come back." Mrs. Qian was very depressed.
After so many years, Mrs. Qian has become impatient after not receiving an accurate word from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. She originally planned that it would be best for Yu Ruiwen to relent this time, otherwise she would have to force Yu Ruiwen to agree to the marriage between the two families, but she did not expect that Yu Xianyi had not yet
When she came back, Yu Xijiao made trouble one after another, and Qian Lizhen couldn't even go to the door of Xuanping Hou Mansion.
How could the marriage between the two families succeed?
"Old madam, don't worry. If a girl is so good, she will definitely find a better family." The mother-in-law knew what Mrs. Qian cared about and continued to persuade her.
"What's the use!" Mrs. Qian was extremely depressed. "Look at what happened today. It was originally a good plan, but it ended up like this. It's really useless." Mrs. Qian said more and more.
Angry, this thing sounds really good, but it happened to be Yu Ruiwen.
There are really not many people in this world who make fuss out of molehills like Yu Ruiwen and don't understand the big picture.
"Why...how did this happen?" Mr. Qian was puzzled. His granddaughter was so smart.
"Maybe... Marquis Xuanping has suspected our girl a long time ago. If he has a relationship with the girl, Marquis Xuanping will not like it. He will think about whether the girl wants to deal with Miss Yu San. What happened at that time makes Marquis Xuanping remember
It's still new." The mother-in-law didn't understand the reason, so she could only say vaguely.
Mrs. Qian didn't speak anymore, and the room became strangely quiet.
After a long time, Mrs. Qian finally said: "This girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion is really evil. She actually escaped with her life in the first place."
He spoke very softly, almost to himself.
The mother-in-law didn't dare to agree, she just lowered her head and pretended not to hear.
"This girl Li Zhen seems to be really useless. Now we can only find another family for her." Mrs. Qian said with a gloomy face.
"Old madam, the girl is as beautiful as a flower, and she will definitely be a good match for her," the mother-in-law said knowingly.
"I hope so." Mrs. Qian leaned back, "Fortunately, this matter has something to do with Xia Qingguan. If it were another female crown, I'm afraid Xuan Pinghou would not let it go."
"What the old lady said is that no matter how reckless Xuan Ping Hou is, he will not really destroy Xia Qing Guan. My cousin, why don't you send someone to inform him first?" the mother-in-law said fawningly.
"No need, Yuxi is smart, much smarter than Lizhen, this matter is not a big deal." Mrs. Qian said disapprovingly, with Xia Qingguan blocking the way, Qian Lizhen's matter is not a big deal...
Mrs. Qian thought so. Although Yu Ruiwen made a lot of noise just now, in Mrs. Qian's opinion, it was just nonsense. With Xia Qingguan in charge, nothing serious could happen.
Mrs. Qian thought so, and so did Master Qingxin. After receiving the people sent by Qian Lizhen and Yu Ruiwen, she didn't take it too seriously. She only took one disciple and followed them down the mountain.
The carriage stopped at the Xuanpinghou Mansion. There was already a mother-in-law waiting there. When she saw Master Qingxin approaching, she greeted him with a smile: "Is this Master Qingxin?"
"Exactly!" Master Qingxin said proudly.
She is a middle-aged Taoist nun. She is thin and wears a large Taoist robe. She has a fairy-like Taoist demeanor. Behind her is her apprentice, a little Taoist nun who is fifteen or sixteen years old. She looks very strange.
Delicate, but with an extremely arrogant attitude, he looked around and said, "Where is your master? My master came over, but there was no one to greet him decently?"
"Master, our girl is not feeling well, please come with me." The old woman smiled and led the way. She was talking about Yu Yuxi.
When we invited people just now, we borrowed the name of Xuanpinghou Mansion. From Qingxin's perspective, it seemed that Yu Yuxi and Qian Lizhen were the two people who came to invite her. This was the Xuanpinghou Mansion, so Yu Yuxi was the main one.
Master Qingxin glanced at the mother-in-law indifferently and followed her up.
The courtyard of Xuanpinghou's Mansion is not small. Master Qingxin has been here before, and at that time he felt that the place was huge and the environment was beautiful. This house in Xuanpinghou's Mansion once married Princess Anhe, so it is naturally not comparable to ordinary mansions.
However, along the way, there were so many doors one after another that the master and apprentice Qingxin's feet were sore from walking.
"Why haven't we arrived yet? Have you made a mistake?" The little Taoist nun was already impatient and looked up at the old lady in front of her.
"We'll be there soon, we'll be there soon." The mother-in-law smiled and continued to lead the way.
"We won't be able to pass by until now. We've been walking for so long now that we can't even get a drink of water," said the little nun.
"It's not far ahead, we'll be there soon." The old lady listened to the little Taoist nun's complaints with a good temper and continued to lead the way.
The winding road led to a pavilion: "The master will go upstairs to rest first, and the slave will prepare the cakes."
Master Qingxin glanced at the mother-in-law coldly, then raised her legs to go up to the attic. The little Taoist nun was still behind and said to the mother-in-law: "Let you girls come over quickly. My master is a Taoist master, not who wants to invite me."
You can just invite them.”
"Yes, yes, this slave will go and invite our girl right away." The mother-in-law said repeatedly and retreated.
The master and apprentice slowly walked up to the second floor. The second floor was arranged like a tea room, with large chairs in the middle and several unique potted plants decorated on both sides.
The second floor is connected to a rear platform outside. There is also a set of small tables, chairs and coffee tables on the platform. After walking all the way, the master and the apprentice were already exhausted and sweating profusely.
Instead of sitting in the house, it is better to go to the back platform, where you can rest and enjoy the breeze.
The weather is getting hotter and the Taoist robes are getting thicker.
Master Qingxin walked up to the back platform, and the little Taoist nun hurriedly followed.
The wind on the platform was not small, and the breeze was refreshing. The boredom and hot flashes that had just come all the way seemed to disappear all of a sudden.
Master Qingxin narrowed his eyes slightly and relaxed.
"Master, where is that place? How did it get burned like this?" The little Taoist nun looked around and suddenly pointed at a place.
Qingxin really followed the apprentice's hand and looked over, and what she saw was a burned-out place. Not only the roof but also the surrounding courtyard walls collapsed, and everything was buried. At a glance, it was clear that the fire was too severe.
It was so severe that the beams in this area collapsed, burying the entire yard.
It was so dark that it was impossible to tell whether it was the collapsed courtyard wall or the collapsed roof.
"It's gone." Master Qingxin said.
"Master, why don't you clean up the yard and build a new yard when there is a wall around the outside?" the little Taoist nun asked curiously, lying on the balcony to watch the fun.
Looking at the circle of walls surrounding the burned-down courtyard, Qingxin was also quite surprised. Just now, she only noticed the burned-out area and did not notice the newly built walls outside.
Because of this ring of walls and the burned-down courtyard, there is a bit of a strange and sinister look to it, which makes people feel uneasy for no reason.
"Maybe there are some problems... in this place." Master Qingxin said vaguely.
"What's wrong with the burned-down yard? Is there something weird going on?" the little Taoist nun asked in shock, subconsciously reaching out to cover her lips, frightened.
The more I look at this place, the weirder it becomes. The sun shines down obliquely, sliding over the newly built wall and falling on the burnt-black area. It feels even more eerie and indescribable.
The little Taoist nun shivered cleverly: "Master... Master, did this... bring us... here on purpose? This place... this place..."
Sweat broke out on his already hot vest as he walked over, and now Ji Lingling shivered: "Master...Master, let's go quickly, this...here is so weird, there's no one there."
The two of them looked at that area for a long time, but they could not see anyone. The mother-in-law who had followed them just now was nowhere to be seen.
"Let's go down and have a look." Master Qingxin frowned and said in a deep voice. She couldn't stand any longer.
The scenery seen from the back balcony was so dark that Qingxin felt uneasy. He took the little Taoist nun and walked downstairs. The pavilion was very quiet and there was no one at all. It was inexplicably disturbing, even though what Qingxin had experienced
Duo, his expression could not help but change at this time.
After debating the route, I lifted my legs and walked back and forth. When I turned around and found the previous intersection, I suddenly found a wall next to me, a wall that looked new.
We just walked over, detoured several times along the way, walked through the cloister, and walked through the Moon Cave Gate. It was nothing to see such a wall, but the burned-down courtyard that we saw from a high place was surrounded by
It's just a newly built wall.
The little Taoist nun's feet went weak, her foot fell in the air, and she fell to the ground. However, she didn't bother to get up, and pointed at the wall in front of her. She was so scared that she almost cried: "Master... Master..., is this the place...
…the place that was just burned…burned down.”
"Don't panic, it's okay." Master Qingxin composed himself. Although his face was also pale, his expression was still calm. He reached out and pulled the little Taoist nun, "Get up first and then talk."
"Master...I...my feet are weak, I...I can't get up." The little Taoist nun almost cried out of fright. Just looking at it from a distance was already frightening, but now that she is right in front of her, she feels even more inside.
I don't know what evil things are there, and I feel like there is a chill all around.
The only thing quiet here is their voices, as if something strange will suddenly burst out.
"Get up, what can happen?" Master Qingxin grabbed the little Taoist nun and scolded him with a cold face, "We Taoists are originally cultivators. Others are afraid of this kind of thing, but we are not necessarily afraid to do it.
Come forward, Sanqing Taoist Patriarch will protect us."
"But...but...but..." The little Taoist nun was really frightened. No matter what Master Qingxin said, she was still scared.
"Nothing to worry about, let's go." Qingxin's face turned cold and he sternly rebuked. He turned around and prepared to leave. He always felt that the wind here was eerie and inexplicably frightening.
"Ah! Ghost!" The little Taoist nun suddenly screamed sharply, pointing behind her with slightly trembling hands, and her eyes suddenly widened...
Master Qingxin's back suddenly stiffened, and he turned his head slowly and almost stiffly...
