After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Ning Ruyan kowtowed step by step as she headed towards Lingyin Temple on the mountain.

Every August, she comes to pray for blessings. It has been ten years since she learned that Jiang Bonian died in the battlefield.

She wanted to use her sincerity to move God, so that they could meet as soon as possible in the next life and become a truly loving couple and stay together for a hundred years.

"Madam." The girl Banxia burst into tears, "Your knees are not good, so don't kneel down."

Ning Ruyan held her knees and smiled bitterly, "In ten years, he has never entered my dream. I am afraid that his body will be gone and he will not be able to enter reincarnation. If I am not sincere, how can I ask for mercy from the Bodhisattva!"

Banxia still wanted to persuade, but Bai Zhi shook her head at her.

The eldest lady has her uncle at the forefront of her heart. If she had listened to the advice, how could she have buried her ten years of youth in the backyard of the Hou Mansion and suffered all kinds of hardships.

Finally, the ninety-nine and eighty-one steps were finished.

Ning Ruyan's face turned pale, she stumbled into the main hall, offered incense and donated sesame oil to the Bodhisattva with her own hands.

Bai Zhi had already prepared a purse and handed it over to the presiding monk. It was already autumn. The money was used to buy food and cotton clothes for the poor down the mountain.

"Madam, the cycle of cause and effect, the Buddha has seen your sincerity and your good deeds in the past ten years, and will let you get what you want." The presiding monk said to Ning Ruyan Buddha chanted, and then handed her an amulet, "Go ahead."

"Thank you, Master." Ning Ruyan took the amulet, bent down and saluted, then turned around and limped down the mountain.

The carriage did not return directly to Beijing, but stopped at Lotus Pier, about ten miles away from Lingyin Temple.

This is a very beautiful water town. The town is not big. It is named because there is a lotus pond at the entrance of the town and there is a lotus stream surrounding it.

After praying every year, Ning Ruyan would stay here for two days.

"Back then, the eldest son and I met here for the first time. It was the Lantern Festival at that time, and lanterns were lit here. In the sea of ​​thousands of people, I recognized him at a glance..." Ning Ruyan stood by the river. , with a smile on his lips and memories in his eyes, "Although we didn't speak, he asked people around him to give me a lotus lantern. I kept it, but unfortunately it was broken later."

"But it doesn't matter. At any rate, I managed to survive. I made a fortune for the General's Palace. My second brother also entered the Hanlin Academy. He was born as a child. He should be very happy."

Ning Ruyan kept thinking about it. After a while, she recovered her thoughts and turned around to walk back.

However, just after turning a corner, Ning Ruyan froze!

That man not far away!

That man who embraces a woman and smiles happily!

Isn't it the same Jiang Bonian who went to the battlefield on his wedding night and died in the battle for ten years?

And the child he was holding in his hand was clearly her adopted son who had been adopted from the clan and had been raised with care for ten years! ! !

Why are they here!

Ning Ruyan couldn't stop trembling. She was so shocked that her eyes were red, and big tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably.

She approaches tremblingly!

The voices of the three people could all be heard.

"Mom and Dad, this candied haws on a stick is delicious. I'll ask for more in the future." Jiang Changqing shook the candied haws on a stick.

"Okay, from now on, as long as Qing'er likes it, I will buy it for Qing'er every day." Jiang Bonian fondly touched his son's head.

"Thank you, Dad, but Dad, I hope our family of three can be together soon. I want to see my parents every day. I don't want to call that person mother."

"Almost." Jiang Bonian touched his son's head.

"Ms. sir, don't promise your son so easily. What if..." Lian Susu looked at Jiang Bonian worriedly, "After all, you still have a legitimate wife. It doesn't matter if I feel wronged, but if your son becomes a bastard, his future will be ruined. "

"Don't worry, Su Su. The Ning family will be raided soon. With the Ning family's wealth, I will be considered a big success! By then, will Ning Ruyan live at my discretion? My legitimate wife? Do you really think I'm interested in her? Did you marry that merchant girl who smells like copper? Susu, my first wife will only be you!"

Jiang Bonian put his arm around Lian Susu's shoulders, tilted his head and kissed her ear.

Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of someone not far away.

Jiang Bonian rubbed his eyes vigorously.

"rather……"

Ning Ruyan hadn't shouted out the three words yet.

With a "pop" sound, he received a huge slap on the face.

"Jiang Bonian, you deceived me so hard! You Jiang family deceived me so hard!"

Facing this face, Ning Ruyan finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

She hates it so much!

Why did she come to pray, why did she come to see this lotus, why did she want to break through these deceptions!

If I didn't know the truth, wouldn't I have suffered this Lingchi pain?

Ning Ruyan clutched her chest tightly.

"Ruyan, listen to me, I have my own reasons." Jiang Bonian ignored half of his face that was red and swollen and tried to come over to hold Ning Ruyan's hand, "I met Susu after I was injured and fell into coma. I... I lost my memory, I only remembered it recently, really..."

"Haha." Ning Ruyan laughed angrily. She pointed at Jiang Changqing, "You can send this illegitimate child to me even if you have lost your memory?"

"You still want to lie to me at this time? Jiang Bonian, from now on, we will never be sworn in."

Ning Ruyan couldn't bear to watch this dirty scene anymore, so she turned around and left.

"Madam, it's all my fault. If you want to be angry, just hit me." However, at this moment, Lian Susu rushed over, took Ning Ruyan's hand, and then pointed it towards her face He slapped him and said, "Please don't be angry with me. I can quit. I can take my son away and never appear in front of you again."

Ning Ruyan was startled and wanted to throw away the other party, but the other party took the opportunity and fell directly to the ground.

"Susu." Jiang Bonian rushed over and hugged the person, then glared at Ning Ruyan fiercely, "Ning Ruyan, why are you so vicious? If anything happens to Susu, I can't spare you. .”

"Haha." Ning Ruyan couldn't help but laugh, "Jiang Bonian, why can't you forgive me? In the past ten years, I have been running the general's mansion, serving your parents, and taking care of your younger siblings. What have I gained in the end? Today Son, I'm so vicious, so what if I beat her to death? A lowly, self-destructive child..."

"You old vicious woman." At this moment, Jiang Changqing suddenly rushed over and pushed Ning Ruyan hard, "Don't talk about my mother."

The opponent used all his strength, but Ning Ruyan was unprepared. She was pushed back a few steps, and fell into the river in one step.

"Madam, be careful." Bai Zhi and Ban Xia rushed over and each grabbed one of her hands, "Hold on, slave, I will pull you up."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Bonian suddenly took a step forward, looked at Ning Ruyan condescendingly, then raised his leg and kicked Bai Zhi and Banxia.

"Go to hell!"
