Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"And I thought to myself that I was only reducing the amount of concentrated feed, and the rest of the roughage remained the same... Who knew it would be so serious... It's all my fault. Mom is angry, you can beat me or scold me, but don't let her get angry and hurt her body."

As Cai spoke, she helped Mrs. Gu sit down and gently patted her back.

No matter how angry Mrs. Gu was, she couldn't show it now.

"You are always smart. Even if you want to be frugal, you have to know where you can save and where you can't! In our house, except for the second young lady's courtyard, which one is easy to get along with? How come you can't understand this!

Now, you are kicked out of the second gate, and the lady won't let you in to serve her. If it weren't for me, your face would have been beaten to death, you know that!"

"Mother, I just feel sorry for you. You have been with Madam for so many years. I made a mistake and I was punished. I admit it, but I shouldn't have implicated you. Madam is too ruthless..."

"Shut up! Don't talk about my wife."

"Yes."

Mrs. Gu turned around, saw Cai's face, and sighed softly.

This face is indeed too good-looking, otherwise her son wouldn't be so obsessed with it.

Alas! Madam is right, beauty is the root of trouble! But after hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Mrs. Gu couldn’t help but feel angry. Madam is really too ruthless. . .

"That's fine, at least you follow my son, just live a good life. If there's a next time, I won't be able to protect you!"

"Yes, thank you, mother."

"Forget it!" Mrs. Gu walked away with an umbrella, leaving Cai with a slight smile on her face.

She didn't care about the background of the maid who came to deliver the order. She was willing to accept it if someone wanted to use her as a knife to stab Mrs. Gu to death.

Anyway, she didn't mind seeing Mrs. Gu being beaten to death by the Madam. If that day really came, what would it matter even if she lost her life?

On October 3, Xu Yixing, who had only rested for three days, could not wait to ask his father to visit the temple. Why not ask Gu? After returning that day, Gu refused to go out and pretended to be sick in the yard. Father Xu had no taboos about gods and ghosts, so he easily agreed to her request.

Xu Yixing rode in a small carriage, swaying up the mountain. The carriage was very ordinary, without any Xu family mark, and the horse was also the most ordinary gray horse with mixed hair, not good-looking at all.

But if there is an expert who knows horses, he will be able to recognize by looking at the horse's hooves and limbs that this is an absolutely good horse, but it just looks average.

When he went out today, Xu Yixing only brought Siqin and a young coachman with him, and no one else. Fortunately, Gu pretended to be sick, otherwise he would not be able to go out with so few people.

Siqin made the jade pendant into a long forbidden step and hung it on Xu Yixing's skirt. Looking at it this way, she really looked like a young lady from a poor family, going into the mountains to worship Buddha.

After entering the temple, the coachman parked the carriage far away at the mountain gate, waiting for the young lady to come back after burning incense. Xu Yixing led Siqin up the mountain step by step with a pious look.

Xu Yixing visited all the statues and temples, big and small, in Jingxi Temple, which made Siqin wonder what wish the young lady had made.

In fact, she didn't make any wishes. Xu Yixing didn't believe in gods and ghosts. Even if she came back to life now, she wouldn't believe it.

If ghosts and gods really exist, why didn't Yi Yan's mother come to claim her life from Gu and Mrs. Gu, and instead let them bully her only daughter?

It can be seen that gods and Buddhas are not real.

She bowed so carefully because she was afraid that the jade pendant she was wearing was not obvious enough and that the shadow guards might not see it.

When they reached the last hall, a young monk finally came over, put his hands together and bowed to the two of them:

"My two donors, I have just observed you for a long time. I saw that you have worshipped every Buddha statue. I wonder what unfulfilled wishes you have?"

Seeing that the boy was only eight or nine years old and looked very mature, Xu Yixing imitated him and said, "It's nothing, I bow like this to let Pusa see my sincerity."

The young monk shook his head: "It's not that whoever worships the most Bodhisattvas is more sincere. There are five hundred Arhat statues in the underground palace. If the donor kowtows to each one, won't he be worshipping himself to death?"

"There is an underground palace? Then please, little master, take me to see it." Xu Yixing put on a smile. He didn't really want to kowtow five hundred times, but he didn't want to miss the underground palace.

The young monk shook his head and said, "There are so many fools in the world. The Bodhisattva has to bless this and that. How can he have so much time?" Although he said so, he still took Xu Yixing to the underground palace.

After entering the door, they were served tea. Xu Yixing didn't dare to drink this strange water, but Siqin was thirsty, so she drank it all, and then sat at the door waiting for the lady. She didn't want to kowtow so many times. But as soon as she sat down, her eyelids gradually drooped and she fell asleep.

Seeing this, Xu Yixing thought it was not good, so he pretended to sit down and rest, put his hand into the boot and touched the dagger. He didn't know if Xu Yiyan's body could use his tricks. If he failed to hit him, he would be in trouble.

The young monk seemed to have seen through Xu Yixing's plan and sneered: "I advise you not to do it, if you do it, you will definitely die."

"Who knows." Xu Yixing suddenly jumped up and rushed to the door of the underground palace, apparently trying to escape.

The young monk also chased after her and caught up with her in a few steps.

Xu Yixing had already run to the door, but he suddenly turned around and stabbed the man under the left armpit with a fake move. Unfortunately, the man was agile and only scratched his clothes, but no blood was seen.

Xu Yixing knew that his plan had failed, so he rushed forward hard, hoping to knock the man out of the underground palace. Unfortunately, the man dodged again.

When he wanted to attack again, he saw the man's hand flashing with cold light, and he was afraid that he was going to use a weapon. Xu Yixing quickly hid behind a statue of Arhat, while paying attention to whether Siqin at the door was hurt.

The young monk held a weapon in his hand, but did not attack. He just spoke to the air: "Young lady, since you are here to look for someone, why do you want to attack? The dagger is poisoned. Such a sinister method is not fair enough."

"Bah! You are the kind of person who poisons other people's food, and you still have the nerve to criticize me!"

"I didn't put poison in the girl's tea. She didn't drink it, so how could I know it was poisonous?"

Huh? Is that so?

The young monk continued, "Just now I saw you looking for me so anxiously, I thought you were in big trouble, so I knocked out the person next to you, but I didn't expect you to repay me with evil."

Ah... Is that so? It turned out that I was anxious and afraid that the shadow guard could not see it. Who knew that he thought that I was being held hostage and the situation was urgent, so he knelt down to every Buddha statue anxiously. That's why he took action to deal with the "hijacker" beside him.
