Chapter 568 Letter from Qingshi Temple
Chapter 568 Letter from Qingshi Temple
Jiang Yan followed Madam Jiang in chanting Buddhist scriptures and copying Buddhist scriptures in Qingshi Temple. At first, she felt it was novel, but later, whenever she saw the Buddhist scriptures, Jiang Yan felt sleepy.
Mrs. Jiang looked at her daughter's drowsy appearance and shook her head helplessly. "You! You have such a volatile temper. I discussed with your father and wanted to take this opportunity to teach you to be more calm, but you haven't learned at all."
Jiang Yan moved to Madam Jiang's side with an obedient look on her face, took her arm and shook it, "Mom, let's go to this nunnery. I haven't explored all the mountains yet. I'll just copy these today. Can we go for a walk?"
My daughter has reached marriageable age and won’t be able to stay with me for a few more years.
Thinking of this, Madam Jiang looked at her daughter's face full of anticipation and smiled dotingly. She raised her hand and tapped her forehead, "When you get married, your in-laws won't be so pampered. I'll indulge you this time today, but tomorrow you must copy the scriptures properly, understand?"
Jiang Yan immediately put her head on Madam Jiang's shoulder and said, "I know, mother is the best."
After Mrs. Jiang explained the reason to the nun who was giving the lecture, she took Xiangyu, Aunt Zhang, and Jiang Yan to walk around the back mountain of Qingshi Temple.
"What a lousy place! It's so desolate! I've had enough!"
"Miss, just bear with it. Going back to Beijing now will only make things worse."
"Mammy, I want to eat crab roe cakes, roasted pigeon, and Zuixianju's braised pork elbow. Please send someone to buy them!"
"My lady, this is a Buddhist holy land, how can I let you eat these!"
"We did it secretly, so no one would know."
……
The words stopped abruptly.
Su Nanxing looked at Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yan walking towards him, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Both of them were wearing Taoist robes and had no jewelry on their bodies. It seemed that they were truly practicing Taoism.
They have been living like this for nearly a month and they are not tired of it yet.
The yard where they lived was always guarded, and they hadn't seen anyone for several days. They didn't expect to meet each other in this back mountain.
Mrs. Jiang frowned slightly.
She really didn't have a good impression of the Su family. They had plotted against her Yan'er before but failed, and now they had forced her Yan'er here and still refused to let her go. She didn't know what they were going to do next.
"Concubine Su, why are you here?" Madam Jiang asked coldly.
It turned out that the mother and daughter living in this temple knew nothing.
This was very helpful to her.
"I came here to pray for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so I came here to practice meditation and stay for a while."
Su Nanxing has always been arrogant, impetuous and impatient, and he doesn't look like someone who would come here to practice meditation.
Mrs. Jiang naturally didn't believe her words.
"Really? Then Yan'er and I won't disturb Concubine Su's meditation." Madam Jiang didn't want to argue with her any more, so she pulled the nervous Jiang Yan up the mountain.
Seeing Madam Jiang and Jiang Yan about to leave, Nanny Liu leaned close to Su Nanxing and whispered, "Miss, this is a good time to get closer to them, why don't you hurry up and catch up."
Su Nanxing didn't care at all. She glanced at the two of them and snorted coldly, "There'll be plenty of time later, but I've been eating vegetarian food these past few days, and now I don't have any strength at all. Mammy, quickly send someone to buy some food!"
"Alas!" Madam Liu shook her head helplessly, sighed, turned around and ordered the maid behind her, "Go to Zuixianju to buy some food that the young lady likes to eat, and avoid those people."
"Yes." The little maid responded respectfully and trotted away.
This time they came to Qingshi Temple with a mission. If the young lady still has this careless attitude and messes up the task, I am afraid that the group of people who followed her will not have a good ending either.
Mrs. Jiang had a heavy expression on her face as she held Jiang Yan's hand and walked up the mountain, completely unaware of the surrounding scenery.
Before they knew it, they were walking too fast. Jiang Yan looked around and almost tripped over the bluestone street under her feet. Only then did they stop.
Seeing Madam Jiang's solemn expression, Jiang Yan asked worriedly, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing Jiang Yan's voice, Madam Jiang came back to her senses and murmured, "Why would she suddenly come to pray for blessings? It's so strange."
The warm sun made Jiang Yan's face flush red. Her eyes, as clear as springs, blinked in the sunlight, and a hint of disgust appeared on her face. "Maybe she is imitating us."
Mrs. Jiang shook her head. "It won't be that simple. When you get back later, write a letter to your father and ask him to find out what's going on."

After Xiao Yu finished his breakfast, it was time for acupuncture.
After Xiao Yu woke up, Su Lingyue stayed by his bedside and refused to leave. She pressed almost all the acupuncture points that were beneficial to him. Xiao Yu also cooperated very well. He would lie down when she asked him to and turn over when she asked him to, letting her do whatever she wanted.
Doctor Lu looked at the two flirting with each other while holding a syringe. Although he couldn't bear it, he still interrupted them and said, "Yue girl, it's time for the acupuncture. Please make room for me first."
"Oh." Su Lingyue turned her head to look at Doctor Lu, and said with embarrassment, "Uncle Lu, please turn around first."
Knowing that the young couple was being affectionate, Doctor Lu smiled helplessly and turned away without looking at them.
Su Lingyue turned around and met Xiao Yu's smiling gaze, who was looking at her playfully.
Without caring about anything else, Su Lingyue leaned over and kissed Xiao Yu on the lips, taking the opportunity to put the small piece of candy in her mouth into his. She no longer dared to look into Xiao Yu's eyes, and stood up and walked out with a red face.
Looking at Su Lingyue's somewhat flustered back, Xiao Yu laughed and used the tip of his tongue to push the half-sized sugar cube in his mouth. The rich grape flavor filled his mouth, covering up the bitter taste of the medicine in his mouth.
Doctor Lu saw Xiao Yu's lips couldn't help but raise, and a sincere smile appeared on his face. "You seem to be in a much better mood."
Not only did he have a smile on his face, but these past few days, Xiao Yu's entire body seemed like calm autumn water, clear and transparent, and there was no more anxiety on his face.
Xiao Yu twisted his fingers which were still warm, thinking of Su Lingyue's gentleness and care, as well as her kiss just now, with tenderness in his eyes.
"She said that mayflies have their own joys, and cicadas have their own joys. She will always be with me, every day counts."
Doctor Lu's heart skipped a beat, and he froze. After a moment, he smiled lovingly, "You two have such a good relationship, sharing weal and woe. It's truly enviable."
There really are such crazy people in the world. A young girl of only 29 years old is so loyal and fearless that Dr. Lu is amazed from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Yu's mouth curled up slightly.
Even though his body was getting colder day by day, the fire ignited by the moon in his heart was burning more and more vigorously, enough to dispel all the emotions in his heart.
How lucky he is to have someone love him with their life.
This life is not lived in vain.
Su Lingyue had just come out of the bedroom and returned to the east wing when she met Caiyi who had just hurried over.
"Miss, the master said he wants to see you about something, and he seems very anxious."
Su Lingyue did not dare to delay and went to the living room with Caiyi to meet Jiang Fu.
As soon as they entered, they saw Jiang Fu pacing anxiously in the hall. He was still wearing his official uniform. It seemed that he had rushed here right after the court session and had no time to change his clothes.
Jiang Siyuan stood beside him with a frown on his face.
"Uncle, cousin, what's wrong?"
When Jiang Fu heard the voice, he immediately turned around and walked to Su Lingyue's side, handing her the letter in his hand, "It's written by your aunt, take a look."
Su Lingyue took the letter, quickly scanned it, and frowned after reading it.
"Su Nanxing is also in Qingshi Temple? No wonder we can't find out anything about her."
Jiang Fu looked at the letter and said in a deep voice, "Although your aunt didn't know what happened in the capital, she was alert and wrote back. Your cousin and I think Su Nanxing's visit to Qingshi Temple is too coincidental. Perhaps there is some conspiracy, so we came to ask if you and the prince know anything."
Su Lingyue shook her head and couldn't help feeling worried.
Su Nanxing has an impatient temper and is not the type to be able to practice meditation. It is really suspicious that she went to a nunnery.
Jiang Siyuan looked at his worried father and felt worried too. "Right now, the most important thing is the safety of my mother and sister. Staying away from home isn't a long-term solution. Let's see if we can find a way to bring them back."
Jiang Fu directly rejected his idea. "Yan'er has been in seclusion for less than a month, and the previous incident has not yet completely passed. If she returns, the Zheng family may bring up the old matter again. It is not appropriate for her to return to the capital at this time."
"Father, what should we do?"
"Send more people to protect them and their daughter. This is the only way for now."
Su Lingyue stroked the letter paper in her hand, thinking of someone in her heart, maybe she knew.
