Chapter 678: One after another (Part 3)
But Princess Wei of Prince Beijing got off the carriage and looked at the Dragon King Temple on the small peninsula not far away , her eyes full of struggle and fear.
Even though Xia Jingui used both soft and hard tactics to train me for a long time last night, it was just a fake affair after all, and it could not be compared with real cheating.
Therefore, she had not made up her mind at first, and had never thought of taking the initiative to come to the door.
However, it just so happened that I suddenly received news early this morning that Niu Jizong, the Earl of Yongyi, who had been bedridden for many days, suddenly visited the Dali Temple with a large group of people.
Even if you use your toes to think, you can know that this is to put pressure on Sun Shaozong so as to force him to sentence Wei Ruolan severely.
This news was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing Princess Beijing to panic. After all, in her opinion, Sun Shaozong was now full of resentment and had long intended to vent his anger on Wei Ruolan.
If Sun Shaozong went with the flow and hit it off with the Niu family, how would Wei Ruolan survive?
Because of this worry, Wei, at the instigation of Xia Jingui, gritted her teeth and hurried over.
"elder sister."
As she was staring at the Dragon King Temple surrounded by water on three sides, she suddenly heard someone calling her softly. Wei Ying turned to Xia Jingui who was approaching her with a troubled look on her face.
The unspeakable experiences of last night made her really unsure of how to face her cousin.
Xia Jingui, however, seemed to be fine. She smiled and pointed at the Dragon King Temple and said, "The dragon in the Jishuitan that you dreamed of last night must be the Dragon King. I see that this temple is not very popular, and there are no rich people visiting. You might as well worship it well. Who knows, you might get a prince!"
When the others heard this, they suddenly realized what was going on and thought, no wonder the princess came to this remote place, it turned out that she had dreamed of a good omen for having a boy.
But after hearing these words, Wei Ying was filled with resentment - why didn't Xia Jingui use any other excuse to cover it up, but she insisted on using 'seeking a child' as an excuse and combining it with the purpose of this trip. It was really vicious!
But firstly, she couldn't tell whether Xia Jingui did it on purpose; secondly, it was not appropriate to get angry in front of so many people.
Therefore, he had to suppress his anger and gestured to the maid beside him with a cold face.
The maid immediately shouted, "Go, get some people out of here!"
The maids following Princess Beijing were obviously used to doing this kind of work. After hearing the order, they took horse whips, copper coins and other items and rushed into the temple aggressively.
Not long after, two temple keepers, one old and one young, came out tremblingly. The old one held a handful of copper coins in his hand, and the young one had a whip mark on his face. However, they did not dare to look at Wei Ying, Xia Jingui and the others, and obediently moved to the side of the road.
"Sister, let's go in."
Xia Jingui smiled and took Wei Ying's arm, pulling her forward a few steps. Suddenly she turned back and warned, "Stay at this intersection and don't let any strangers in!"
After the maids and servants who were following closely behind stopped, the two sisters walked into the temple leisurely.
When they arrived in front of the statue of the Dragon King, they looked back and saw that the temple door was tightly covered by the Feng Shui wall. Wei Ying immediately shook off Xia Jingui and asked in a deep voice: "What exactly did you mean by that just now?!"
However, after experiencing the reckless behavior last night, Xia Jingui no longer had any sense of awe.
Hearing Wei Ying's stern question, she not only did not answer, but instead looked him up and down with her foxy eyes, which made Wei Ying feel uncomfortable all over. He was about to ask her what she wanted to do.
Xia Jingui suddenly chuckled and covered her mouth with her hands, saying, "Sister is really thoughtful. This tight and neat outfit makes you look even more seductive."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched Wei Ying's breeches, and sighed: "Especially this pair of legs of sister, it's really..."
"what you do!"
Wei Ying quickly took two steps back and glared at Xia Jingui in shame and anger.
She wore this hunting suit today purely out of self-protection, but in Xia Jingui's eyes, she never expected that it would be seen as a symbol of deliberately showing off her figure and seducing men!
This is really judging a noble person by one's own mean character!
Wei Ying gritted her teeth and was about to say something when she saw Xia Jingui stop smiling and spread her hands, saying, "Don't be angry, sister. I just saw that you were too nervous, so I made a few jokes."
This cunning little bastard!
Wei Ying cursed inwardly, but after all, she was still needed now, so it was not a good idea to just turn against him.
So she made a mental note to Xia Jingui, then skipped over this and asked in a deep voice, "After what you said about what happened yesterday, does Mr. Sun still dare to come?"
How could Wei Ying know that this time it was Xia Jingui who took the initiative to offer a plan to "humiliate" her with the help of both inside and outside forces?
Therefore, it is inevitable to have such concerns.
Xia Jingui immediately promised: "Don't worry, sister, I flattered you with my musical performance yesterday, no matter what..."
Bang!
At this moment, a crisp sound suddenly came from the statue.
They were both startled and looked at the statue of the Dragon King at the same time.
Pah~
Not long after, they heard another crisp sound. This time, the two heard it clearly. The sound was not made by the statue, but by the wall behind it.
What's going on?
Pah~
The two girls were just wondering why there was another crisp sound from behind the wall.
Wei Ying and Xia Jingui looked at each other, then entered the backyard from the back door in the southwest corner.
The yard is not big, but it has everything you need. It is obviously where the two temple priests live.
Pah~
Another crisp sound was heard, and this time the two finally understood what was happening. It turned out to be a chess piece that flew in from outside and smashed into pieces on the wall.
Xia Jingui's heart moved, and she immediately pulled Wei Ying to check around. Sure enough, in the corner, she found a back door leading to the outside.
The back door was very narrow. After pushing it open, you could see more than twenty steps of bluestone slabs winding down to the shore.
However, Xia Jingui looked around in confusion, but did not see the figure she had imagined in the rippling green waves.
strangeness!
Wasn't it him who threw the chess piece in?
Just as I was wondering, a small boat suddenly appeared from the dense reed marsh on the west side, and a strong man dressed as a fisherman at the bow was holding a ceramic chess basket in his hand.
Although he was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, just by looking at his majestic figure, how could the two sisters not know who the visitor was?
At that moment, one was An Xi, the other was frightened, one quickly stepped forward, the other hesitated and stepped back.
The one who walked forward quickly was naturally Xia Jingui.
When she reached the water's edge, she looked back and saw that Wei Ying had not caught up with her, so she lowered her voice and said, "My dear, there are only two of us in the temple now. If you want to do it..."
"Let her come to the boat herself ."
Sun Shaozong gave the order without waiting for her to finish.
The reason why he didn't show up immediately just now was that he was actually driving a small boat and quietly going around to the front to count the number of people. Therefore, without Xia Jingui saying anything, she knew that there was no one else in the temple.
But without anyone else around, it would be far less safe than being on this black-sailed boat.
Xia Jingui was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that Sun Shaozong obviously did not intend to let her go.
Although he was disappointed that he could not see Wei Ying's embarrassment, he regained some excitement when he thought about her being stuck on the boat and having to face Sun Shaozong's dilemma.
Xia Jingui then turned around and walked quickly back to the door, saying, "I'll go guard the front door, and you can go aboard without worry, sister."
Having said that, without caring about Wei Ying's reaction, he went straight back to the yard and closed the door.
Now Wei Ying was completely confused. Didn't the two of them agree last night that Xia Jingui would share all the shameful things that required her to curry favor with him?
How come when the time comes, she is the first one to back down and leave me alone? !
