Before the prosperity of Chao'an Temple, the most famous temple in the capital was Dinghui Temple on Puji Mountain. However, with the prosperity of Chao'an Temple, Dinghui Temple gradually declined. Except for sporadic pilgrims, few people set foot there anymore.
But today, the usual tranquility of Dinghui Temple has been broken.
Yang Xiao was sitting in an armchair, with her legs casually resting on the bench. Chen Jiarou was also there, but there were a tall and thick entourage standing on both sides of her.
The sun was getting higher and higher, and although there was a towering ginkgo tree in front of the palace to shield him from the scorching sun, Yang Xiao still felt a little hot and uneasy.
"Is there still no movement in the Wu'an Hou Mansion?" Finally, Yang Xiao couldn't hold himself back any longer and asked.
"I have no reply to you, Master, yet." One of the attendants stood up and replied respectfully.
After hearing his answer, Yang Xiao became more and more irritated.
"Sir, did Miss Xie guess something, so she didn't come?" Another follower hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but cautiously reminded Yang Xiao.
Those noble ladies in the capital don't go out easily, let alone to such a remote place. Isn't this a scam?
In fact, Yang Xiao never thought about this.
But when he thought about it, Xie Wu knew the trap and still jumped into it during the Lantern Festival last time!
She prides herself on being smart, maybe she will be the same this time!
After all, Chen Jiarou is also her cousin, so she doesn’t care about Chen Jiarou. She must always worry about her own reputation!
Thinking of this, Yang Xiao suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Jiarou with narrowed eyes, "It seems that your cousin doesn't care much about your life!"
Under Yang Xiao's cold gaze, Chen Jiarou shuddered subconsciously and lowered her head.
She had not washed herself all day and night, her body was dirty, and her hair was a mess. She never thought that one day she would fall into this situation...
When she thought about what she had experienced in the past two days, her tears fell straight down.
"Miss Chen Si, if Miss Xie doesn't come today, then I will have to blame you!" Yang Xiao looked at Chen Jiarou gloomily and said again.
"No! Ah Wu will come! She will really come!" Chen Jiarou hurriedly raised her head and looked anxiously into Yang Xiao's eyes.
She is not someone else, she is Xie Wu's biological cousin! She will come to save her no matter what, even if she doesn't come, her mother will force her to come!
Yes! Her mother will force her to come!
Time passed bit by bit, and seeing the sun gradually setting in the west, Yang Xiao finally couldn't sit still anymore. He kicked off the bench with his feet, then stood up holding the armchair and walked towards Chen Jiarou.
"No... don't..." Seeing Yang Xiao approaching step by step, despair surged toward Chen Jiarou like a tide. She couldn't stop her swollen left foot and ran away on tiptoe.
But as soon as he took a step, his right hand was immediately grabbed by the attendant beside him.
"Mr. Yang, I beg you to let me go, I beg you..." Chen Jiarou struggled and begged towards Yang Xiao who was walking over.
Yang Xiao sneered and was about to speak when a person suddenly ran in from outside.
"Sir, there is something moving at the foot of the mountain!"
"Really? The person here is Xie Wu? Who did she bring with her?" Yang Xiao felt happy, and the anxiety and anger he had been waiting for all day disappeared at this moment.
He made the right bet after all!
Thanks Wu, she is finally here!
"Young master, it's the eldest daughter of the Xie family. In addition to the driver, she also brought two maids!" the visitor replied.
"Only two maids?" Yang Xiao couldn't believe it.
According to Xie Wu's vigilance, it is impossible for her not to guess that there is a trap here!
still……
"She's behind? Is there someone secretly following her?" Yang Xiao asked hurriedly with his eyes narrowed.
"The younger one has already sent someone to check, and there is no one behind him," the man replied hurriedly.
This time it was Yang Xiao's turn to be silent.
He closed his eyes, slowly took a step back, and then sat back in the armchair.
Although he thanked Wu for having a maid who knew some boxing skills, but based on this alone, she dared to come to see him alone. Did she... not take him seriously?
Or, has she made other arrangements?
He prefers the latter.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiao hurriedly ordered with a calm face, "Go! Send someone to investigate further."
"Yes." The man responded, and then ran out quickly.
Yang Xiao leaned back in the armchair again, raised his head and took a deep breath, and then, a sneer slowly appeared on the corner of his lips.
No matter what, Xie Wu is still here!
Not long after, Xie Wu's figure finally came into view.
The bright red dress made her face as dazzling as fire, especially the teardrop mole under the corner of her eye, which looked so gorgeous against the backdrop of the setting sun.
This is the real beauty!
She shines brightly as soon as she appears on the stage, and everyone around her becomes her foil. In front of her, Chen Jiarou and others can only be called delicate at best.
"Sister Wu, you made it easy for me to wait!" Yang Xiao stood up and looked at Xie Wu with eyes filled with surprise and covetousness.
Finally, his day was not in vain!
Xie Wu smiled. She did not respond to Yang Xiao's words, but turned her eyes to Chen Jiarou behind her.
"Cousin..." After receiving Xie Wu's gaze, Chen Jiarou's inner grievances poured out. As soon as she called out "cousin", tears welled up in her eyes.
She had never felt that Xie Wu was so kind like now.
She is really scared!
She was so afraid that Xie Wu wouldn't come to save her!
If Xie Wu doesn't come, what will be waiting for her?
"Is this how Mr. Yang treats his guests?" Xie Wu finally spoke. She shifted her gaze to Yang Xiao again, and the corners of her cherry-red lips curved into a faint smile.
"Guest? Sister Wu doesn't mean...Miss Chen Si?" Yang Xiao smiled. As he spoke, he motioned to his servants to move a stool and place it behind Xie Wu.
Xianyue took out a handkerchief from her arms, wiped the stool carefully, and then said to Xie Wu, "Girl, you can sit down now."
Hearing this, Xie Wu brushed her fingers at the hem of her clothes, then bent down and sat on the stool.
Yang Xiao smiled and sat back in the armchair.
"Sister Wu, I don't know, but this Miss Chen Si hurt me the other day. I asked her to pay me money, but she refused. She said she didn't have money to pay me, and said that if she wanted to pay, she would pay it herself.
Me! Tell me, isn’t this a lie?” Yang Xiao stared at Xie Wu with a smile.
"It turns out it was my fourth cousin who injured Young Master Yang. I wonder where she injured you?" Xie Wu said to Yang Xiao with a smile on her lips.
Yang Xiao chuckled, raised his hand to tuck his hair at his temples, and said to Xie Wu with a smile, "This is what she smashed."
"But why didn't I see any wounds?" Xie Wu added with a smile.
"That's Sister Wu. You're too far away. Why don't you come closer and have a look." Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, the saliva in his eyes still spilled out accidentally.
When he thought about being able to hold her in his arms, he felt an unstoppable heat in his chest.
Seeing the salivation in Yang Xiao's eyes, Suiyu was very angry. She took a step forward with a sullen face, but her right hand was suddenly grabbed by someone.
"Girl." She looked at Xie Wu in confusion.
Even cutting him into pieces wouldn't be enough to vent his anger! How could the girl endure it?
Xie Wu did not look at Broken Yu. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Yang Xiao with a faint smile. She said, "Young Master Yang's injury was really serious, but it took two or three days to heal so quickly."
"Hahahaha!" Yang Xiao was amused by Xie Wu's words, and he said, "Sister Wu, your little mouth is really powerful. It's no wonder that my aunt and cousin have fallen into your hands one after another."
"So, Mr. Yang set up this Hongmen Banquet today to avenge your aunt and cousin?" Xie Wu had a smile on her lips, but her voice remained calm.
"That's not the case! Yang and Xie Yuan are not worthy of me spending so much time on them! But since you already know that this is a Hongmen Banquet, why do you dare to come?" Yang Xiao changed his sitting position again, and he half
He stared at Xie Wu with his eyelids closed, and the corners of his lips raised a malicious arc, "Or, do you think you got away easily last time, so you can get away this time too?"
"Otherwise? Mr. Yang really wants to do harm to me?" Xie Wu raised her eyebrows.
"Why, you think I don't dare!" Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became two points deeper.
"You don't dare." Xie Wu smiled lightly and uttered three words without thinking.
"Oh? How can you be so sure?" Although he sneered at Xie Wu's answer, he was still interested in hearing Xie Wu continue to say.
Xie Wu smiled lightly. She stood up slowly while holding Xianyue's hand. Then she raised her chin and said proudly, "Mr. Yang, do you think I am just like my cousin and can be teased and played with? I am a direct descendant of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.
Girl, my father is Deputy General Zuo Yiwei! If you dare to touch me, aren't you afraid that my father will come to your door with a knife and chop you alive?"
"Hahahaha..." After hearing Xie Wu's words, Yang Xiao raised his head and laughed.
He didn't know whether he was laughing at Wu for being naive, or laughing at himself for overestimating her.
She dared to walk up to him alone just because of this. Did she think she would be afraid of Xie Zheng and not dare to touch her?
However, since she said this, it means that she really has no backup plan!
Sure enough, as if Yang Xiao's suspicion had been confirmed, the entourage he had just sent to find out the news quickly turned back.
"Sir, no one is following." The man quickly walked up to Yang Xiao, and while saluting, he told him the news he had just heard.
Yang Xiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up.
Thank you, she is so brave!
"Sister Wu, have you ever heard of a saying that means - if you die under peonies, you will be a ghost even if you are a ghost!" Yang Xiao said while rubbing his palms and walked towards Xie Wu step by step.
Seeing the unconcealed lust and covetousness in Yang Xiao's eyes, Suiyu's face sank, and she suddenly raised her foot and immediately protected Xie Wu behind her.
Xianyue also noticed something was wrong. She looked around, and finally her eyes fell on the bench where Xie Wu had just been sitting.
Looking at the two maids protecting Xie Wu, one on the left and the other on the right, Yang Xiao couldn't help but laugh again, "Sister Wu, you can't be so naive as to think that just these two maids can protect you!"
"Mr. Yang, you are not so naive as to think that you can touch me, right?" Xie Wu raised her hand and pushed the two maids aside who looked like they were in danger. She smiled and took a step forward towards Yang Xiao.
"Sister Wu, you are really... so innocent and cute!" Seeing Xie Wu's confident look, Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes and became even more interested.
After seeing too many women like Chen Jiarou who only cry and beg for mercy when in trouble, it is obvious that a glamorous and prickly beauty like Xie Wu is more to his liking!
It’s so wonderful to have such a beautiful woman under you!
