After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

Chapter 37 He is aboveboard

A young monk at the door stopped Xiangli Mingzhu expressionlessly: "Madam, please stay. It's really inconvenient for the abbot."

Xiangli Mingzhu was not an unreasonable person. She took two steps back. The anger on her face receded a lot, but she still couldn't hide her anger: "In that case, I will go find Master Yuanjue."

The young monk said: "Amitabha." Then he turned around and entered the house.

Xiangli Mingzhu was very unhappy. As she left, she complained to Jiang Juncai: "We donated so much sesame oil to Wuxiang Temple, but the abbot didn't even give us this face."

Jiang Juncai explained in a low voice: "Don't be angry, mother. When the abbot came out to Song Xianglimu just now, I found that his breath was unstable. He must have been injured. We can also contact Master Yuanjue for this matter."

Xiangli Mingzhu became angry when she thought of this: "He is injured and still in the mood to meet Yuan Qi and meet me. What's wrong?"

Although Jiang Juncai was not happy, he had to admit that Yuan Qi was not as simple as he seemed.

"Mom, the seventh sister seems to have a close relationship with the abbot and the Xiangli family. Let's be nicer to her."

Xiangli Mingzhu gave her son a sharp look: "Look at how hopeless you are. You are still the leader of the Forbidden Army, and you actually care about the connections of a child. Do I need the connections of a brat like her?"

Jiang Juncai had nothing to say.

Jiang Bailu on the other side agreed with her mother's view very much, and followed Xiangli Mingzhu in belittling her brother: "That's right, maybe people just think that she is good-looking and say a few words to her. Brother, you are also serious, our family is like How could one of the four most famous families like the Xiangli family value the connections of a little brat?"

Jiang Juncai felt that they were both short-sighted.

Concubine Li Gui and her three children followed behind without saying anything.

It's easy to tell Yuan Jue to go to Jiang Mansion to perform rituals. You don't even need Xiangli Mingzhu to come forward. Jiang Juncai just goes over and says a word.

The scene where Yuan Qi called the abbot old monk and the abbot's smiling and doting eyes kept flashing in Xiangli Mingzhu's mind. It looked like he was an old friend.

But the abbot didn't give her, Mrs. Jiang, one of the four major families in Kyoto, face, and she hated it.

Today she lost face in front of Li Gui's concubine and those concubine children, all of whom were Yuan Qi.

She even saw Li Gui’s concubine secretly laughing at her several times.

The anger in her heart could not be extinguished.

After finishing the work, the Jiang family realized that Yuan Qi had not followed him and did not know where he had gone.

Jiang Jiulu was a little worried: "Mom, aunt, the seventh sister is missing. Should we send someone to look for her?"

Before Xiangli Mingzhu could speak, Jiang Bailu spoke: "What are you looking for? I asked her to get back to the carriage first. Let's go. If we delay any longer, we won't be able to go back before dark."

Jiang Bailu reprimanded Jiang Jiulu fiercely: "Didn't you see? The head of the Xiangli family and the abbot are both kind to her. She is very capable, why do we need to worry?"

Jiang Jiulu and his two brothers looked at each other and felt that Jiang Bailu and Xiangli Mingzhu did not ask Yuan Qi to wait in the carriage in advance. The three of them seriously suspected that they did it on purpose.

The three of them wanted to say something else, but Concubine Li stopped her with her eyes, so the three of them had no choice but to follow Xiangli Mingzhu back.

After getting on the carriage, Jiang Jiulu discovered that there was no sign of Yuan Qi on the carriage.

She got off the car and went to the car in front to explain the matter to Xiangli Mingzhu. Xiangli Mingzhu refused to let her get in the car and said directly through the car curtain: "She fell asleep in my car. Don't worry, let's go."

Jiang Jiulu was not sure whether what Xiangli Mingzhu said was true or not, but she felt that Xiangli Mingzhu would not lie about such a trivial matter, so she returned to her carriage.

The convoy slowly left.

Yuan Qi was still filling the water bag on the back hill of Wuxiang Temple. By the time she returned to the front gate of Wuxiang Temple, the Jiang family's carriage had already left. The convoy had gone a long way, and there was no sign of Yuan Qi. Xiangli Mingzhu snorted and said, "I'll see how she goes back. If she dares to embarrass me, I'll take care of her!"

Jiang Bailu and Jiang Trulu smiled slightly, and some of the pent-up frustration they felt for many days finally dissipated.

Jiang Truffle lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside. There were flourishing flowers and plants, and dense woods. She said quietly: "I heard that some people in this period specifically look for rich people to beg for money, and sometimes even rob them. My sister said that if What will happen if Yuan Qi meets him?"

Jiang Bailu showed a vicious smile: "Yes, she has been here for a few days, and she hasn't taken a single piece of silver. She must have no money, right? If she encounters a beggar asking for money and has no money to give alms, she might be beaten. A meal.”

Xiangli Mingzhu finally felt comfortable: "Yes, if you meet a bad guy, maybe he will fall in love with her beauty."

Jiang Bailu knocked on the window, and Jiang Juncai rode over.

Jiang Bailu whispered something to Jiang Juncai.

Jiang Juncai frowned: "Isn't this good?"

Jiang Bailu reminded her displeasedly: "Brother, maybe she set your Qingyun Tower on fire. Aren't you aggrieved?"

Jiang Jun just thought of those dense ants and mice and felt numb all over. Yuan Qi should have this ability. Maybe she had attracted those ants and mice through evil tricks. She deserved to be taught a lesson.

"Okay." Although he felt that using such a despicable method to deal with a female doll was not in line with his upright character, he still did it.

He recruited a confidant, gave these instructions, and gave the confidant some scattered silver.

Jiang Junyu chatted with his brother on horseback as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Junjing said: "What do you think the elder brother asked Zhao Ke to do?"

Jiang Junyu said slowly: "It's not a good thing. According to Seventh Sister's temperament, she shouldn't get into mother's carriage. Mother doesn't like Seventh Sister and it's unlikely that Seventh Sister will ride in the same carriage with her."

Jiang Junjing: "Do you also think that the seventh sister is still in Wuxiang Temple?"

"Let's go back and look for it."

"I'm afraid mother doesn't agree." Jiang Junyu knew Xiangli Mingzhu very well. She looked at her brother with a half-smile, and her eyes gradually moved down, stopping at the jade pendant around his waist. "You go, I'll stay."

With a "bah" sound, Jiang Junjing's jade pendant fell into the grass.

The two of them walked forward as if nothing had happened.

After about a cup of tea, Jiang Junjing touched his body randomly: "My jade pendant! That's the magic weapon I bought at a high price!"

The team was a bit chaotic and had to stop later.

Jiang Bailu stuck his head out and asked, "Why did you stop?"

Jiang Junjing shouted: "The jade pendant I just bought is missing, and I don't know where it was dropped."

Jiang Bailu retracted his head and reported this to Xiangli Mingzhu.

Xiangli Mingzhu got out of the car and said, "What kind of jade pendant? If it's not worth a few bucks, don't look for it. I'll buy another one later."

Jiang Junjing ran over and saluted very respectfully and replied: "To reply to my mother, this jade pendant is a magic weapon I bought a few days ago. It is said that it can drive away ghosts, avoid evil spirits, and ward off disasters. It is not an ordinary jade pendant. You go first, I Go back and look for it.”
