The Duke’s Wife is Beautiful But Has a Dark Heart.

Chapter 74: Danger comes to you

Wen Yu, wearing a green cross-collar skirt and a gray gauze cape, was heading to the backyard of Tianlong Temple.

 The mountain gate, the courtyard, the main hall, and the pond were all extremely lively, but along the way she walked, there were fewer and fewer people.

 Being able to pass through that small door was the preferential treatment she got by bribing the little master with pine nut candies.

Since yesterday, the Wen family has been coming to Tianlong Temple every day. Come early in the morning, worship Buddha, burn incense, and listen to scriptures. Then there is socializing among pilgrims, chatting, lunch and tea time.

As soon as she arrived, Xiao Ji was asked to find out if the Qi family was here.

 Yesterday, today, neither came...

Li Jiang is quite capable and has gotten back all the information that the Qi family can find out.

 Family background, property, population, position, owning a Qi family army, etc... Anyway, they are all pretty good, needless to say.

The key thing he also found out: Mrs. Qi seemed to intend to betroth her two sons here...

This was indeed a shock to Wen Yu. She thought about it and couldn’t figure out why? How many noble ladies are there in the capital? With Qi Wu’s talent, even a princess or princess is worthy of it! Why do you come to this small place like your hometown to look for it?



However, I heard that Mrs. Qi has a step-mother-in-law who also gave birth to a son. Therefore, if the news is true, it is most likely because Mrs. Qi does not want her son's marriage to be interfered by the old lady.

 Before, although she loved to look at Qi Wu, it was just a girlish feeling. As for marrying him, that's really unthinkable.

 There is a huge gap between the Qi and Wen families!

Even if her father was promoted to the capital, he would still be far out of reach.

 What’s more, I am an unpopular eldest daughter who lost her mother...

　　However, once this door is opened, it can no longer be closed.

 Let’s not talk about his handsome appearance...

 It's the Qi family's family background...Marrying in and then dealing with the Wen family would be easy and exciting!

It is full of great benefits, and Wen Yu feels like it is scratching his heart.

 But she suddenly thought: What if Mrs. Qi wants to marry Qi Si, who is a concubine? It's very possible! At least the family distance is smaller...

If you haven’t met Qi Wu, of course this is a good match.

But I happened to see it. No matter how outstanding Qi Si is, how could he catch my eye?

How will we live in the future? She thought coquettishly!

what to do? What a crime!

 My life is so miserable!

These thoughts were spinning wildly in her mind.

 If anyone knew what she was thinking at this moment, they would definitely think: This person is crazy!

 Up to now, this matter has nothing to do with you, why are you so confused? ! The only thing that can give you some extra leverage is that he saved his cousin!

I do not care! I just want to! Wen Yu grinned stupidly, feeling that since his rebirth, all good things have come from God!

Today, she sent Qing He to the old lady's side to see who the old lady had come into contact with. This grandmother probably wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to find a home to occupy herself.

 In the past, she really didn't care too much. If she was not satisfied with the marriage, she would take her grandfather out to fight in the ring. She would be so angry with the old guy!

 But things are different now, we have to make some calculations.

 In the backyard, there is a stone mural against the mountain. On the other side is the forest of stone tablets.

Last year, the old lady actually took her family to the newly built Tianfa Temple. It is large in scale, architecturally elegant, and the wood used is fragrant. Very arrogant.

However, as far as the murals and stone tablets of Tianlong Temple are concerned, and just a few streets away from Tianfa Temple, they will not be able to catch up in hundreds of years!

 Looking at the murals carefully, I stood in front of a large stone tablet. This was an inscription by the great calligrapher Mizan more than 200 years ago. Every time, she would read it word by word for a long time.

 It’s so beautiful!

 Suddenly, a small door on the courtyard wall opened gently.

She knew that outside the courtyard walls were some high-end Zen temples for rent by dignitaries who came to offer incense. The pavilions and pavilions built in the Zen courtyard are undulating and resemble ancient paintings, so they are not intended to accommodate ordinary people.

 The Wen family is not decent enough to live in.

Maybe she didn’t want people to come to her girl’s house to stand alone here, so she quickly escaped and hid in the forest of stone tablets.

The body was hidden, but one eye was exposed to look over there curiously.

But he saw a woman coming out of the door, being supported by a little girl.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he turned around and faced the man standing at the door.

Wen Yu didn't see the woman clearly, but saw the man first. The man seemed to be chuckling...and reached out to touch the woman's head.

 Then, the girl helped the woman turn around and walked out.

Being alone and alone... Wen Yu intuitively felt that this was not a good thing, so he quickly retreated.

Hearing the sound, the woman came to his side. I heard the soft sound of the door closing again.

The two walked forward, Wen Yu looked at their backs. As they were about to leave the forest of stone tablets, it seemed that a large strand of the woman's hair had fallen out.

The girl hurriedly reminded her in a low voice, and the two of them stopped to tidy up...

 After waiting for a while, he walked away.

Just when he was relieved, there was another sound from the door. Wen Yu quickly pressed against the stone tablet and gathered the corners of her skirt.

There was the sound of footsteps, and she felt someone walking to the side of the forest of stone tablets. The angle was just right for her to see that she was tall and imposing. He is wearing a black and purple robe, the material is thick and shiny!

I saw the man looking around, his face tilted, his gentle words had nowhere to hide, and he saw clearly. A man in his forties with an ordinary appearance and an obvious cinnabar mole between his eyebrows.

How old is King Wu?

Although she has never seen King Wu up close, the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows is very famous.

 Coupled with this outfit, this residence...

 It must be him!

The man had some confusion on his face, looked around, and shouted in a low voice: "Zhang Zhong?!"

Wen Yu quickly retracted his body and was already attached to the stone tablet. My legs felt weak, and I felt a strong uneasiness in my heart: If he found out...it would be very troublesome.

 “Huh?! Zhang Zhong!” The low voice sounded a little angry.

 Wen Yu even held his breath...

She didn't even hear the footsteps, but suddenly someone said: "Master!"

 “What have you done?!” The man was very dissatisfied.

"Master, this subordinate deserves to die. Suddenly there is something in my abdomen...please punish me, master!"

"Huh..." The man hummed, ignored him, and walked out.

Wen Yu was afraid that if they walked past and looked back, they would see him. So he dodged to the side, but unexpectedly he stepped on a dry branch, which made a slight sound.

Fortunately, her steps were light and she had already turned to the other side of the tower at the same time as the sound.

 Standing quietly, not daring to raise his head again.

So, she didn't know that although the sound of stepping on the branches was small, the man named Zhang Zhong still heard it. She turned her head sharply and saw no one. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement.

He wanted to come over for inspection, but saw that his master had already walked away. After a moment of hesitation, he followed him.

The master and servant had not taken two steps when they saw a little girl holding a bouquet of flowers coming from the other side of the stone monument.

The man stopped and asked, "What are you doing?"

The little girl was very polite and said, "Reply to this gentleman, I am picking flowers for the girl at home!"

 “Oh?! Your girl is here?!”

 “My girl is listening to the sutra in front!”

 The man glanced at Zhang Zhong, put his right hand behind his back, and left.

Zhang Zhong looked very loyal. He seemed to be walking forward, but suddenly he slashed the little girl's neck with his hand. The little girl fell down without making a sound, and Zhang Zhong caught it easily.

Carrying it on his shoulders, he climbed up to the courtyard wall in a few steps and jumped down.

Wen Yu opened his mouth when he saw it and almost screamed.

 Before she could react.

 The man outside the wall jumped in again, but the girl was nowhere to be seen... He did not pause, and followed his master with light steps.

Wen Yu didn’t dare to move, and couldn’t move either.

That girl...

 He killed her?

 In the monastery...killing people?

She waited for a long time, and the cold sweat on her body dried up, and her legs gained strength.

 One risk will lead to trouble! But why?

She hurriedly walked out and passed by the place where the woman had stopped for plastic surgery. She suddenly found a purple object between the stones on the ground.

I didn’t know what I was thinking, so I picked it up. After receiving it in my sleeve, I didn't dare to look at it and went straight out of the small door...

After a while, the little girl who had been supporting the woman returned to the same place with a very nervous expression. She lowered her head and looked around as she walked. And they walked around where they stood doing makeup for a long time, even pulling back the grass to look...

This little girl didn't see it either. In the innermost part of the forest of stone tablets, behind the broken wall, stood a woman in blue with delicate features.

 …

At this moment, Wen Yu had almost reached the crowd and had just breathed a sigh of relief.

 Suddenly, I was grabbed by a hand stretched out from the side...
