The day I went to the temple was a cloudy day with continuous drizzle, which relieved the scorching sun that had lasted for several days.

When Ruan Yuluan slowly walked to the gate of the mansion, the lady turned her eyes and when her eyes fell on her, she couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Why are you dressed so plainly?"

The girl was wearing a moon-white plain silk skirt that reached the ground, and a light blue shirt on top. Her black hair was tied into a bun, and a jade hairpin with a peony pattern was inserted in the bun. The tassels swayed with her movements. Dressed like this, she looked too plain, and her beauty was not highlighted.

The girl explained in a low voice as if she had done something wrong: "In the quiet place of the temple, I dare not put on heavy makeup, for fear of offending the gods..."

This explanation made sense. Ji was also a Buddhist. Hearing this, the frown on his face slowly relaxed a little and he said, "That's all." He didn't say much.

Ruan Yufu was also dressed casually, wearing a light pink soft silk dress with round floral patterns, and had a pretty face. But standing next to Ruan Yuluan, she was naturally not as outstanding as her.

After getting on the carriage, it slowly drove towards the Huguo Temple.

The Huguo Temple is very popular. Even if the sky is gloomy, the temple fair is bustling with high-ranking officials from the capital coming and going.

The three of them entered the temple and went to the main hall to pay their respects first. The lady then asked where the abbot was as she wanted to discuss the matter of donating money for incense with him.

The young monk led her over and said, "The abbot is discussing matters with the wife of Duke Xuan. Madam Ruan, please come this way."

Ji nodded. Since the wife of Duke Xuan was also there, it was natural for her to go and pay a visit.

However, it was obvious that Duke Xuan's Mansion was not her main purpose this time. Before the woman turned around and left, she told the two of them not to walk around casually, so as not to offend the nobles, and she would come back later and ask them to meet the guests.

When the wife and her people turned the corner, the third lady couldn't help but complain to Ruan Yuluan in a low voice: "What's the point of being a distinguished guest... To put it bluntly, they are just selling us for a good price."

The girl couldn't help but laugh, and quickly stretched out her fingertips to cover her mouth: "Third sister, please be careful with your words. Although my words are rough, I dare not say such words in front of gods and Buddhas."

The third lady took her hand and stopped talking. Instead, she pulled her and ran to a hall at the back.

"I heard that Huguo Temple is very effective in finding a partner," she knelt down on the cushion with Ruan Yuluan and whispered in her ear, "Let's see what happens."

Ruan Yuluan didn't really believe this. She had to take control of her fate in her own hands when she was reborn. But seeing that Sanniang was so enthusiastic, she had no choice but to shake the lottery tube to avoid ruining her interest.

With a "click", a skewer fell out of the bamboo tube and landed on the ground.

They both took it and went to the fortune teller to ask for the interpretation.

The fortune that Sanniang got was "half of what you wish for will come true". The old monk explained that only half of the wish can be fulfilled, and the remaining half is up to fate.

The third lady felt somewhat depressed.

Ruan Yuluan's fortune showed an extremely simple yet profound sentence - "Marriage is destined after many twists and turns."

The third lady teased her with a smile, forgetting even her own worries: "It seems that this person has already appeared? Or is it the person who originally thought that there was no fate with him, but ended up being with him?"

Ruan Yuluan listened and felt that this sign was unlucky. Her previous marriage...wasn't that her previous life?

The girl laughed it off and walked out with Sanniang, muttering "Amitabha" several times in her heart.

Just at this time, Xia Yue came over and said to the two of them, "Madam is calling the two ladies over to meet the distinguished guests."

Then the smiles on both of their faces faded a little at the same time.
