Jiang Sheng followed Nan Zhu's gaze. Although it was a little far away, she could recognize the figure even if it turned into ashes.

It was indeed Aunt Yang.

Jiang Sheng winked at Yingqiu, who nodded slightly and turned away.

Yingqiu came back only after the vegetarian meal.

She whispered something to Jiang Sheng, and Jiang Sheng looked at her in surprise.

"Can you see clearly?"

Yingqiu nodded slightly

"I saw it clearly. I followed him to the backyard just now and saw with my own eyes that Jiang Lin followed that young master into the house."

"Didn't Yang Yan find out?"

"She left the yard and never returned. I don't know whether she was unaware or acquiesced."

A smile flashed across Jiang Sheng's face

"In a peaceful place like Buddhism, they dare to do whatever they want. When people are courting death, it is impossible to stop them."

Yingqiu asked in a low voice

"Young Madam, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Sheng thought for a moment

"Do you know where that lecher comes from?"

Yingqiu replied in a low voice

"I didn't follow him very closely, but the man was holding a folding fan and wearing a moon-white dress. I guessed that he must be the son of the Minister of Rites."

Jiang Sheng burst out laughing

"This Jiang Lin is really good at selecting people."

The Minister of Rites' surname was Wu. Lord Wu had worked diligently for many years and had finally risen to the position of Minister of Rites, which was considered the head of a ministry. Unfortunately, he married a tigress-like wife, who controlled him all day long. He was not even allowed to take a concubine. He lived a very depressed life and was a well-known henpecked husband in the capital.

At an old age, he had only one son named Wu Yong. It was said that this Lord Wu had ranked very high when he took the imperial examination and was very knowledgeable. However, good things came out of bad ones, and his son Wu Yong was a well-known idiot in the entire capital.

He is not proficient in the Four Books and does not understand the Five Classics. He has only a superficial understanding of them, but he does not hide it and instead likes to show off everywhere. He likes to wear moon-white clothes and never puts down a folding fan in his hand regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter, looking like a graceful young man and a talented scholar.

Wu Yong does have some merits, but his good looks are probably his only advantage.

Yingqiu whispered

"Lord Wu's hair has turned white with worry. It's a pity that this piece of rotten mud can't be helped. Seeing that there is no successor, it is said that he took the risk of keeping a concubine outside."

"You know this as well?"

Yingqiu smiled embarrassedly

"I discovered it when I was secretly investigating Lord Wu."

Jiang Sheng looked at Ying Qiu

"Why investigate him? Could it be that he has sided with a certain prince?"

Yingqiu nodded

"It's not really a matter of taking sides. Lord Wu is traditional and conservative, and a staunch royalist, so..."

Jiang Sheng whispered

"So, he is on the side of the eldest prince."

Yingqiu nodded and said nothing more.

Wu Yong and Jiang Sheng lived in seclusion in their previous lives and never showed up in public, so they didn't know many people in the capital very well.

But the name Wu Yong always feels familiar.

etc.

Eighth-grade ceremony... doesn't that mean...

"Did he get engaged some time ago?"

Yingqiu nodded.

"Yes, the one chosen is Wang Jingwan, the daughter of the Eighth Rank Dian Yi."

Sure enough it was him.

It’s really a narrow road between enemies.

Her mother and Wang Jingwan's mother were relatives, and the two had known each other since childhood. At some family gatherings, the two people of similar age naturally became closer.

After they got married and had children, she and Wang Jingwan became good playmates.

Later, because she seldom left the house, the two began to communicate through letters.

When she was sent to the outskirts of Beijing before, she had secretly visited herself.

In her previous life, Jingwan was not happy. Her mother-in-law was strict and domineering, and her husband was a playboy. She died of complications during childbirth just one year after her marriage.

This time, she would never let Jingwan marry such a scumbag.

"How long have they been in there?"

"About half an incense stick of time."

Jiang Sheng calculated the time

"The timing is just right."

She whispered a few words to Yingqiu, and Yingqiu nodded and went out.

Jiang Sheng stood up and said to Nanzhu Yuzhu beside him

"Let's go take a walk and digest the food. There will be a good show to watch later."

Sure enough, just as she and the women of the Lu family sat down in the pavilion, they heard a scream from outside, saying that a thief had snatched a pilgrim's purse and ran into the side room.

Jiang Sheng curled the corners of his lips and said, here it comes.

Qingyun Temple was a popular place with many pilgrims, most of whom were prominent figures. So when they heard the shouts of the crowd, they sent their servants to help catch the thief.

Upon hearing this, the pilgrims nearby rushed over to join in the fun.

When they reached a remote wing, they heard the embarrassing voices coming from inside, and the ladies blushed immediately.

One of the elderly ladies looked angry.

"The peaceful and tranquil Buddhist place has become a place for these shameless people to have sex!"

Others nearby echoed

"Who says it isn't?"

"This is simply polluting the Buddha's ears!"

"I don't know who this person is, but he behaves so rebelliously."

The old lady who had just spoken strode forward

"I want to see who is so shameless!"

The door was pushed open and the onlookers rushed in, and screams suddenly broke out from inside the house.

Then there was a man's loud shout.

"Who let you in? Get out!"

Seeing more and more people coming in, the two of them began to put on their clothes in a hurry.

"Hey, isn't this the eldest son of the Wu family?"

"That's not the case."

"That one seems to be the second daughter of Minister Jiang's family."

"What young lady? She is just a concubine's daughter."

"These two are really brave."

At this time, an aggressive woman came in from outside and slapped Jiang Lin, whose clothes were disheveled, twice.

"You shameless vixen! How dare you seduce my son!"

The person who came was actually Wu Yong's mother, Zhou.

Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, this was totally different from what she had imagined!

Where did these people come from!

How did they get to such a far wing?

Wu Yong saw her dazed expression and thought she was frightened, so he held her in his arms with heartache.

"Mom, what are you doing!?"

Zhou pointed at his nose and yelled at him.

"What did I do! Are you out of your mind? You and the Wang family are getting married soon, and you actually did such a despicable thing with a concubine's daughter, and you still ask me why!"

Zhou was about to separate the two, but the pitiful Jiang Lin clung to Wu Yong and hid behind him in fear.

"Let go of my son, you shameless little bastard!"

Wu Yong whispered

"Mom, the one I love is Lin'er. That marriage was never my idea. Why not just call it quits?"

Zhou raised her hand and slapped him.

"How can you decide on your own about marriage? I tell you that a concubine's daughter has no chance of entering our Wu family."

"Mom! I won't marry anyone except Lin'er."

"You traitor!"
