In the hall, he called all the maids and servants who usually served the second lady in Cailing courtyard, and asked them one by one.When he asked about a little girl, her eyes were evasive and she spoke nervously, so he left the little girl alone.

"You sent the letter to Second Miss?" Master Qi asked bluntly, "Where did Tang Minghai live at that time? How did you deliver the news?"

"Master! Master, please forgive me!" The little girl was so guilty that she knelt down and begged for mercy, "I didn't want to. The young lady said that she would not deliver the letter for her, so she drove me out. My parents are long gone. The people in the yard here Seeing that I was young, everyone treated me very well, and I didn't want to be kicked out, so I agreed. Tang Minghai first lived in an inn nearby, and later rented a house at No. 2 Sanmin Lane." The house, it seems that it means to fight a protracted war, I didn't expect that I was so careless, and I didn't notice it at all.

"How did you deliver the letter?"

"In the past, I used to go out through the corner door of the kitchen while I was shopping for the second lady. Later, I came and asked a lot, and the second lady accidentally discovered that the wall was loose. Use bricks to build it from the outside, and you can’t see it unless you look carefully inside." The little girl replied.

Master Qi patted the table, too angry to speak.Qi Ying's personality has always been self-willed and reckless, which is what Yaochun is used to, but now Yaochun fell ill because of excessive sadness, so he reaped the consequences of himself, what can he say?

"Everything I said is true, and I've told you everything I know. Master, please forgive me. I don't want to be kicked out." The little girl kowtowed like garlic.

"Alas..." Master Qi calmed down from his anger, and he let out a long sigh, "I can forgive you once, you can no longer stay in Cailing Courtyard, clean up by yourself, go to work as a handyman."

"Thank you, master." The little girl kowtowed and went down wiping her tears.

Master Qi sat at the table for a long time.

Mu Qing was very efficient, and immediately went to look for Chief Zhang, and Chief Zhang immediately agreed, and quickly ordered martial law throughout the city to arrest Tang Rong and Qi Ying.

Wan Xinqiao recovered from her illness after resting, and Jingru proposed to go to Xiuyuan Temple outside the city to make a wish and relax by the way.

Zhilan doesn't want to go, she doesn't want to see anyone these days, and her relationship with Li Shaowen has fallen to the bottom. The two have been fighting coldly, and neither is willing to compromise first.

Wan Xinqiao wishing today is a major event of the Li family, and according to the rules, the whole family's female family members are dispatched, even if she doesn't want to take Zhilan with her, she has to do it.But she still had a reaction to her, so she specially asked Li Shaowen to send an extra car.Zhilan took Yan Cui to sit in the car behind, she thought it was good, she didn't have to face Wan Xinqiao and Jingru face to face, it would save embarrassment.

She looked out of the window boredly, and the road out of the city was full of low mud bungalows, what's more, thatched houses, and there were many scantily clad beggars along the way, skinny and lifeless. The scene of the bustling metropolis is worlds apart.It was the first time that Zhilan experienced the difficult living conditions of ordinary civilians, from surprise to sympathy, especially when passing by the village, seeing those thin children chasing cars, it also caused her a bit of heartache.

The car was not driving fast, the mud stretched out, and there were some bumps from time to time. Suddenly, she seemed to see a familiar figure from a distance, getting closer...

As the car approached, she finally saw clearly.They were really a pair of people, the man was handsome and handsome, the woman was sweet and incomparable, the man put his arms around the woman's waist, and said something to her, the woman raised her hand into a hammer and gave him a "fist" shyly. ".

Zhilan couldn't take her eyes off, she was really familiar with these two people.

"Stop, stop."

It's a shame that the driver didn't listen to her and continued to drive forward.

"Eldest young mistress, forgive me for not obeying my orders. If I don't keep up with my wife's car, then my wife will only be a villain. I can't bear it. Please forgive me, young mistress." The driver explained while driving.

Zhilan was impatient, she opened the car door desperately, scaring Yan Cui to hug her.The door was opened, and the wind was very strong, blowing her long hair up and down, her dress fluttering, and her tied hair fell down, she tore off the knot that tied her hair and threw it aside, her face showed a resolute and resolute look. The driver couldn't help being startled by the look on his face, he had never seen such a young lady with such an expression.

"If you don't stop, I'll jump off!"
The driver was afraid, he was afraid of an accident, the brakes pulled over and stopped.

Zhilan desperately stood in front of the couple.

"Tang Rong, long time no see. Let me ask you, why did you leave without saying goodbye?" There were too many questions in her mind, and she threw them out at once.

"Miss, did you recognize the wrong person? I am Tang Minghai, not Tang Rong." Tang Rong deliberately pretended not to know her in order to hide the past.

"Tang Rong, you don't need to run away. I came to you with nothing to ask but you to give me a reasonable answer." Although Zhilan never started with him, she was not reconciled without asking clearly.

"Zhou Zhilan, you're already married, why are you pestering my husband?" Qi Ying heard that Zhilan's words were not in the right tone, and she couldn't help feeling jealous in her heart, and she spoke bluntly.

"Second Miss of the Qi family, the matter between me and him has nothing to do with you. I must ask him to give me an explanation today, otherwise I will definitely entangle myself to the end." Zhilan said firmly.

"You!" Qi Ying was too angry to speak, her face flushed red.

As soon as Zhilan's car stopped, the team had to stop because of the accident, hesitating.

Jingru noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly said to Wan Xinqiao: "Mother, look, that is causing trouble again, do you want me to go down and have a look?" Ever since Wan Xinqiao fell ill, that has become synonymous with Zhilan.

"What a broom star." Wan Xinqiao said annoyed, she turned her head and looked back through the car glass.

Seeing that Tang Rong was about to leave with Qi Ying, he was forced to be dragged by Zhi Lan. In the public, he teased and teased men other than his husband. What kind of words did that sound like?What is the system?Wan Xinqiao felt extremely ashamed, and felt resentful.

Tang Rong didn't want to admit his identity, didn't want to talk to Zhilan, and didn't want her to be stubborn, so he said loudly, "Okay! Don't you want an answer? Let me tell you! Why did I leave without saying goodbye? It's because of me. I can't stand your entanglement with hints, I'm so tired, I'm so tired that I want to run away. This is the answer."

"Really?" Tang Rong's words completely shattered all her fantasies about her first love in her youth, and Zhi Lan was taken aback and felt worthless for herself.

"Miss Zhou, why do you need to ask? If you put it in your heart, you can still leave a thought. You see, you insist on getting an answer, so you don't want to humiliate yourself?" Hearing Tang Rong's words, Qi Ying was completely relieved. Come on, her sympathetic tone sounds like irony to Zhilan.

"Hey, sister-in-law, you are meeting an old friend, why are you so excited about talking? Mom is waiting over there." Jingru Tingting walked over gracefully and smiled.

When she saw clearly that the other party was Qi Ying, she intentionally and affectionately took Zhi Lan's hand, and Zhi Lan broke free uncomfortably.

Jingru said first: "I'm sorry, Miss Qi Er, my sister-in-law is not in a good mood recently, don't pay too much attention to what crazy things she says."

Zhilan glared at Jingru. At this moment, she felt that life was boring, her first love was like a joke, she was excluded from love, and marriage was more like a farce. .

She let go of Tang Rong's hand and said: "I lost my temper, Tang Rong, I understand what you mean, I wish you and Miss Qi Er happiness."

Back in the car again, her heart calmed down. The moment the car started, she realized that no matter what answer Tang Rong gave, it was her real relief.She sighed softly, Jingru's appearance showed that Wan Xinqiao must have witnessed this scene, and the next pass might be even more difficult, but she was not afraid.

When the car arrived at the mountain gate of Xiuyuan Temple, Zhilan had settled down in the meditation room. Butler Fu came to report that his wife had ordered that because the eldest mistress had insulted the family, the second mistress would be responsible for delivering the incense this time.

Zhilan didn't care, took a copy of the Diamond Sutra from the bookshelf in the meditation room and read it.

After a while, Yan Cui came in from the outside and said to her: "Miss, I overheard Shuanghua quietly begging the housekeeper outside, saying that he wanted to ask his wife to transfer her to the second young lady's side to serve her, and listen to her wishes. Jingxiang Jinjin is usually done by the young lady who is in charge of the family, and now that she sees that you are not favored, she is planning to find a way out for herself."

"Let her go." Zhilan thought for a while after hearing the words, and added, "Go and call Steward Fu in."

"Young Mistress, are you looking for me?"

"Housekeeper Fu, if Shuanghua said something to you, please go ahead and fulfill her wish. It can be regarded as her affection for serving me by my side."

Butler Fu was very surprised when he heard this. When he arrived at Li's house, he hadn't seen anyone or had anything happened. Any master who knew about Shuanghua's desire to leave the eldest young mistress would be reprimanded at least and at most. This is the first time that Zhilan has been punished.

"Eldest young mistress, once Shuanghua leaves, there are not enough people to take care of you in your yard, do you want to send another person?"

"No need." Zhilan rebuffed straight away.

Shuanghua's departure caused all the servants to talk about the eldest and young mistress.In terms of word of mouth, the young lady is a good person, but unfortunately she is not favored, and everyone looks at her with sympathy.She didn't care about it, as the most unfavored person in offering incense, she gained a certain degree of freedom.

It was the first time for her to come to Xiuyuan Temple after growing up so big. Yan Cui helped her up the steps. In the majestic Daxiong Palace in front of her, there were two majestic Buddhas on the left and right. The tall Shakyamuni Buddha in the middle looked benevolent and kind.

There was an old monk standing beside her, chanting scriptures and knocking wooden fish intently. Zhilan worshiped the Buddha and gave her some incense money. The old monk glanced at her calmly, and recited a gatha casually:
"Half life is ups and downs and half life is idle, I'm afraid there will be smoke and half fascination.

If you ask where the way home is, the western bliss leaves the heaven of hatred. "

Zhilan was very puzzled when she heard this, Yan Cui was curious and wanted to ask a few more questions, the old monk recited Amitabha and walked away.

Yan Cui was unhappy, and muttered: "This old monk is so trusting."

Zhilan smiled at her: "Let's go."
