The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

"Dear donors, are you alright?"

Outside the door, a childish voice sounded. Huiguo clasped his hands together and looked at the door that had just been opened.

Three girls came out with their heads bowed, their postures graceful and their looks unparalleled.

But when they looked up, all their original assumptions about the beauty disappeared without a trace.

Huo Daiyu's shoulders were still shaking, and the extent of the shaking almost made people think she was crying, but her face was full of a smile that was difficult to conceal.

"Pfft...hahahaha!"

The originally fair faces of the three people became a little duller, and their willow-like thin eyebrows were drawn as thick as men's, not to mention that Huo Daiyu had painted a huge mole on his face.

Yun Nian's delicate and beautiful face was now distracted by her thick eyebrows. Although it was not as convenient and effective as the Disguise Pill, it was also a very successful transformation.

Shen Ningsi at the side was somewhat helpless, while Yun Nian, who was dressed in the same way, tapped her cheek lightly with his fingertips, with a teasing look in their eyes that they both knew.

"Three donors, please follow me."

Huiguo was also surprised for a moment, but did not say much. The temple did not look big from the outside, and there were only a few more rooms inside. The place where vegetarian meals were served was not far from the kitchen.

As soon as the three of them sat down, they came face to face with Shan Miao and Lan Yin. Yun Nian observed them from the corner of his eye. The two of them showed surprised expressions, and it seemed that they did not recognize him.

"It's just some simple food, no meat or fish, please enjoy it."

"We are sorry to bother you, but we are grateful that you are willing to take us in."

Yun Nian, who was standing by, also nodded, and her eyes naturally turned to Huo Daiyu. She quickly picked up the bowl and sniffed it, then blinked at her.

Don't talk while eating or sleeping. Although Yun Nian had never followed such a rule, when he arrived at Jingshui Temple, he had to be quiet while eating.

In fact, she knew very limited information about Jingshui Temple. Although Shen Ningsi was well-informed, she did not know much about the temple outside Luochuan City.

All we know is that Jingshui Temple has existed for hundreds of years. It is said that the late emperor often came here to pray for blessings. At that time, the young nun Shanmiao was also extremely beautiful. People have many speculations.

But the late emperor never stayed overnight, and Jingshui Temple did not accept men who stayed overnight, so those rumors soon disappeared.

Originally a nunnery and a temple, it should have been very popular with the emperor's support, but Yun Nian had never heard of any ladies going to the temple to make a sincere wish.

While washing up, Shen Ningsi found some past events that she had heard from others in her memory and told them one by one.

"It is said that more than 20 years ago, a major event occurred. At that time, Princess Jinyang was pregnant and came to Jingshui Temple accompanied by her maid to pray for blessings."

"But that night, a group of bandits from Dongling happened to pass by here. They coveted the women inside and broke in by force."

Yun Nian listened nervously, holding her breath.

"The guards of the Jinyang Palace were all stationed outside the temple, fighting with the bandits. It was a tragic scene, with blood flowing like a river, and all the maids around the princess were killed."

"If the emperor's personal attendants had not arrived in time, I'm afraid no one would have survived. The princess gave birth prematurely due to the shock, which damaged her body and she passed away soon after."

Yun Nian understood the story at this point, and she spoke in silence.

"So, because of this ominous incident, those people gradually became unwilling to come here, and Jingshui Temple became deserted. No wonder there is only one little nun."

When the bloody incident happened, Master Shan Miao was also there. It is said that she stayed by the princess's side, praying for her to have a safe pregnancy.

She raised her head and her eyes naturally swept over Shan Miao's body. The age was right. Although she looked old, her demeanor was indeed extraordinary.

But, when did this human sacrifice ceremony begin? Was the tragedy that happened more than 20 years ago really just a simple robbery that was motivated by sex?

You know, when the princess travels, she brings along quite a few maids, all of whom are of average age...

Yun Nian shuddered, then lowered his head to eat to hide the expression on his face.

The vegetarian meal was light, and the nuns had finished their meal, so they lowered their heads and twirled their Buddhist beads while waiting for them. The three of them also ate faster, putting their bowls aside.

The little nun Huiguo looked up at them, then cleared the bowls and went away, leaving only the three of them with Shan Miaolan and the other two.

No one spoke. The two nuns had the same hesitation and smugness on their faces, but they seemed to have no idea how to talk to them.

In the dead silence that was about to spread, the young woman, Lan Yin, spoke with a smile.

"I heard about your experience and I feel sorry for you. Although Jingshui Temple is not a luxurious place, it allows you to stay temporarily. Why don't you stay here and rest for a while?"

Shan Miao's expression had returned to its cold state, becoming even more compassionate. She also nodded secretly.

"But..." Yun Nian pretended to hesitate, "We came here to look for our relatives in Luochuan. If we can't find Wang's family in Luochuan as soon as possible, I'm afraid our deceased parents will be unhappy. If you allow me, can you show us the way?"

Of course, they didn't want to leave for the time being, but they couldn't say if they wanted to stay, lest they arouse suspicion.

Sure enough, Nalan Yin's tone became hurried.

"Absolutely not. How can I let you weak women who just escaped from the clutches of a tiger go on the road alone? Moreover, the bandits should still be wandering in the mountains and forests. It's really not safe."

At this time, Shan Miao also spoke, her hoarse voice was strained, as if it was very strenuous.

"In a few days, there will be a carriage with food. I will ask them to take you into the city on the way. Wouldn't that be better? Don't talk about leaving these few days."

The three of them refused and were shy, and finally agreed after some hesitation. Of course, they did not miss the smug joy in the eyes of the two nuns.

They seemed to have no doubts about the identities of Yun Nian and the others anymore. They just told them not to go in front of the Buddha statue and to stay in their own rooms.

"Phew~ It's a pity that you don't go to perform. You're really good at bluffing people."

After Huo Daiyu returned to the room, she collapsed on the bed beside her. Shen Ningsi smiled and tugged at her coat.

"Didn't those two say that they must find three women of the right age by today at the latest? In other words, they must take the three of us to where she wants to go by tonight at the latest."

Yun Nian tapped his fingers lightly on the table and frowned.
