Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 17

On the fifteenth day of the fourth lunar month, the Wen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to Mingyue Nunnery to offer incense.

Yuzhi took the nanny out this time, Que Ya'er was young and playful, so it's better to just put her in Wen's house to accompany her good sisters who just made friends.Originally, she thought that Mrs. Tai, who had always worshiped the Buddha, would also go for this incense offering. It was only before she left that Wen Zhaoling said that Mrs. Tai liked to go to Xiangguo Temple for offering incense. She never went to a small nunnery like Mingyue Nunnery.

The carriage was bumpy on the uneven mountain road in the outskirts of the city. Yuzhi raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Wen who was sitting opposite. Why didn't she go to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense, but why did she come to such a small nunnery?

Mrs. Wen was lowering her eyes and pursing her lips. She looked very serious, but she didn't know what she was thinking.The Jin family sitting next to her is very similar to her appearance, with the same serious expression, presumably still unhappy because of that incident.Yuzhi turned her head to look at Li Shi beside her again, and sure enough, she was the only one who still looked gentle and indifferent.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, and several people climbed up the bluestone steps on foot. As the eldest daughter-in-law, Yuzhi naturally hurried forward to support Mrs. Wen, and Jin's movements were more agile than her. , Li Shi silently followed behind.

Before reaching the mountain gate, he saw the familiar blue-gray monk's robe from a distance, and the abbot, the master, held a Buddhist bead and chanted the Buddha's name to the few people who came over.Yuzhi stood in front of Mrs. Wen and winked mischievously at her, and the abbot's wife showed a few wrinkles on her no longer young face.

Mrs. Wen signaled the two people around her not to help her any more. She took a step forward and bowed to the abbot with clasped hands.

The abbot turned his body slightly, "You don't need to be polite, please come in."

It may be that the weather today is a bit gloomy, so there are not as many pilgrims who come to offer incense.The four of them entered the nunnery, first they respectfully burned incense and oil in front of the Buddha, and then they had nothing else to do.The abbot invited a few people to have a fast meal before going back, and Mrs. Wen readily accepted.Then she told Yuzhi and the others that something was up, and followed the teacher to the backyard.

The rest of the three staring at each other is really boring, not to mention that because of Wen Zhaoling's decision yesterday, Jin always gouged out Yuzhi's eyes, which made her extremely uncomfortable, so she simply told Li that she wanted to go out for a stroll. The machine slipped out.

Walking through the corridor and passing a row of meditation rooms, Yuzhi walked directly towards the door of the backyard. Just as she was about to open the door and go to the back mountain to find Wu Jili's mother and son, she suddenly heard a familiar voice, which seemed to belong to Mrs. Wen.She put her ear on the door and listened. It should be right. It was indeed her. Why is Mrs. Wen in the back mountain? Who are you talking to?
Just as he was thinking, the door suddenly opened.Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, and quickly took a few steps back. Before he could dodge, a man with a green shirt and hair tied came out slowly. When he saw Yuzhi by the door, he was obviously taken aback, and quickly closed the door to the backyard.

Yuzhi looked at him, stroked his chest and let out a sigh of relief, "So it was you, you scared me to death."

Wu Jili looked at her in surprise, "Yuzhi, why are you here?"

"My mother-in-law said that she would come here to offer incense together, so I followed."

"So that's the case." Hearing the word mother-in-law in her mouth, Wu Jili had to admit the fact that she was married again.

"By the way, who did you see in the back mountain just now? How did I hear my mother-in-law's voice?"

Wu Jili looked at her puzzled expression and smiled, "I didn't see it, maybe you heard it wrong."

Yuzhi frowned, "Really?"

Wu Jili tugged at her sleeve and pulled her to the side of the rockery, "Yuzhi, how is your life at Wen's house?"

But Yuzhi didn't seem to hear it, she was staring at Wu Jili's hand that was pulling her sleeve, and after a while, she suddenly raised the hand that grabbed him to her eyes and looked carefully, " Let me just say, it turned out that I was wrong that day, otherwise, if you have a red mole on your wrist, I should have known about it a long time ago."

Wu Jili was inexplicable. She held his hand, and his face blushed uncontrollably. He was about to speak when a voice suddenly came from beside him: "Sister-in-law, you..."

The two turned their heads and saw that Jin Shi and Li Shi were standing at the corner behind them, staring dumbfoundedly at this side.

Yuzhi came back to her senses, let go of her hand quickly, and quickly explained to the two: "No, no, you misunderstood."

Li looked at her in embarrassment, but didn't speak.Jin looked at her mockingly, "Why does sister-in-law despise elder brother for being weak and not good enough for you? She even started flirting with other men in this pure place of Buddhism."

What?Holding hands and flirting?Yuzhi's hidden fiery temper was almost about to erupt, and it took several times of exhaling and inhaling on the spot to suppress the anger.

"Brothers and sisters, you should be careful when you speak, what you see may not be the truth!"

It was the first time that Yuzhi called Jin's siblings in such a cold tone, and Jin was stunned for a moment, seeing her in a bad mood, her bad mood got worse at this time, "Hmph, what my sister-in-law says is what she says, but I just Believe what you see, the so-called seeing is believing!"

Yuzhi patted her forehead helplessly, she really couldn't wash herself off by jumping into the Yellow River.

Wu Jili coughed lightly on the side, turned sideways and bowed his hands to the Jin family, "Madam, please don't ruin your reputation. I have known Mrs. Wen Shao since I was a child, and it was just an unintentional act. Please don't do it in vain. Something happened."

Mrs. Jin couldn't find any rebuttal for being so polite and courteous.Mrs. Li pulled her arm, and said in a low voice: "Ah Rong, I know you are in a bad mood because of that prostitute, but at this time, you should say a few words less, the house is already messed up."

Jin's chest was oppressed, and his chest heaved violently for a while, before finally nodding his head.Seeing this, Yu Zhi and Wu Jili were relieved, and Qi Qi glanced gratefully at Mrs. Li.

The four of them were standing dryly when the backyard door suddenly opened. Yuzhi turned her head to look, and saw Mrs. Wen coming out of the door alone. Seeing the people in front of her, she was a little strange, "Why are you all here?"

Yuzhi didn't know how to answer for a while, and was thinking about the appropriate wording, when Jin behind her suddenly said unwillingly: "Let's see if my mother has received someone."

Yuzhi was taken aback for a moment, and Madam Wen replied, "Of course I received it. Nanny Luo took her to the meditation room on the west side, and we will go back to Wen's house with us later."

Hearing Nanny Luo, Yuzhi realized that the person they were talking about was the prostitute.That day Mrs. Tai asked Nanny Luo to pick him up. She was still wondering why she hadn't heard anything for several days, but she didn't expect that she was picked up here, and today she used the name of incense to drive people away without anyone knowing it. Take it back to Wen's house.

It's a good trick to hide people's eyes and ears.

"Okay, since we've done everything we need to do, we don't need to stay any longer. Let's go after picking up someone. Liu Niang, go and tell the abbot that we won't be here for fasting."

After Mrs. Wen's order, Mrs. Li hurried to find the teacher.Yuzhi turned her head to look, and Wu Jili had already quietly left without knowing when.Turning his head, he met Mrs. Wen's eyes, and stared at her lightly, "Yuzhi, do you know that man just now?"

Yuzhi nodded cautiously, "Yes, he lives with his mother in the back mountain. I met him when I lived in Mingyue Nunnery."

She was really worried that Mrs. Jin would say something surprising suddenly, but the wet nurse just happened to look for her and finally averted her eyes.Mrs. Wen nodded lukewarmly and didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, Mrs. Li came back and told Mrs. Wen that everything was ready and she had already boarded the car, so she could leave now.After hearing this, Jin groaned a few times in dissatisfaction.Mrs. Wen glanced at her, "Let's go."

Yu Zhi intentionally stayed behind them, and opened them at an equal distance, then turned her head and whispered to the nurse, "Nurse, when will you find time to come and see Aunt Wu for me, she is not in good health at that time. Haven't visited yet."

The nurse nodded, "I understand, don't worry, Miss."

After going down the long steps, Yuzhi was about to get into the car, but her eyes caught sight of the blue figure beside the mountain gate.It turned out that he didn't go far, and was still following behind him.She sighed, after what happened today, in order to avoid suspicion, she can't meet with him casually.

There was a faint scent of flowers in the carriage, Yuzhi looked at the soft-looking woman nestled in the innermost side of the carriage, and really couldn't connect her with the person who scolded the Wen family like a shrew on the street that day.

The carriage moved forward all the way, and there was silence in the car.Mrs. Jin stared at the woman all the time, while Mrs. Li sat next to the woman, and glanced at Mrs. Jin across from time to time, signaling her to calm down with his eyes.Mrs. Wen sat with Jinshi and Yuzhi, always looking silent, only a few words from Nanny Luo opposite her could make her nod her head a little.

The atmosphere was really depressing and uncomfortable, and when she finally arrived at Wen's house, Yuzhi almost wanted to say "Long live".

As soon as he entered Bo Yuju, Que Ya'er rushed over quickly, and shouted when he saw her: "Miss, it's not good, my uncle asked the second young master to beat her up."

"What?" Yuzhi looked at her in surprise, "You said the second young master beat Boyu? Why did he beat his elder brother?"

"Isn't that right? Miss Aqin came today and told my uncle about the second young master and the prostitute. It happened that the second young master came over and was very upset when he heard it. He wanted to teach Miss Aqin a lesson. My uncle stepped forward to stop her. I was pushed by him, and my waist hit the corner of the table, and I am still lying on the bed!"

Yuzhi didn't care about Que Ya'er's indignant look, and rushed into the room in a hurry.Que Ya'er subconsciously wanted to follow in again, but was grabbed by the wet nurse, "The husband and wife are talking, what are you going to do?" Que Ya'er came back to her senses and scratched her head in embarrassment.

When Yuzhi entered the room, she saw Wen Zhaoling lying on her back on the bed, her face was pale, her eyes were closed and her brows were frowning, obviously she was still in pain.She sat down next to the edge of the bed, and carefully pressed his waist, "Boyu, how are you?"

Wen Zhaoling opened his eyes, smiled and shook his head, "It's okay."

"what happened?"

Yuzhi's hand seemed to be on the spot, Wen Zhaoling hissed, and stretched out his hand to hold her hand, "It's nothing, Zhonghe is getting irritable, it's just a minor injury, just lie down and it will be fine."

Seeing his appearance, Yuzhi couldn't help but get angry, "What is that guy doing here suddenly again?"

Wen Zhaoling froze for a moment, then laughed again, "That guy may have come to ask me to borrow money."

"What?" Yuzhi got up angrily, "You are so arrogant when you come to borrow money, I'll go find him!"

"Don't!" Wen Zhaoling hastily stretched out his hand to grab her, Yuzhi was caught off guard, and was dragged down on top of him, only to hear a muffled sound from the person under him, who wanted to get up quickly, but was held down by another hand.

Wen Zhaoling stared into her eyes, and said as if in a daze: "Yuzhi, I've wanted to do this for a long time..."

"doing what?"

Before the words finished, Wen Zhaoling's hand pressing her back suddenly moved to the top of her head, pressing lightly, and his lips touched each other carefully, tenderly and sympathetically, each other's breaths were warm and entwined...

After a while before they separated, Wen Zhaoling gasped lightly: "That's it..."
