Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

At the end of the Yin hour, Ping'er got up and called Wang Xifeng. The master and servant washed quietly, dressed leisurely, put on plain clothes again, put on silver hairpins, and sat in the room gracefully and elegantly, waiting for food to be delivered from the temple.

It's already Mao time, but the meal hasn't arrived yet.

The master and servant smiled at each other, took out some snacks from the packages they brought with them, poured water from the thermos they had requested last night, and made do with breakfast.

Then they went out together, first knocking on Wang Jialuan's door, then expressing surprise at the presence of the nanny, and finally expressing their vague concern about the disturbance that happened last night:

"The abbot said yesterday that he would deliver our meal to us at 1 a.m. this morning. After we finish eating, we will go to the front hall. Today's training will begin at 1 a.m...."

Wang Jialuan finally reacted: "Yes, breakfast was not delivered!"

Wang Xifeng said to the maid with a worried look on her face, "After all, this is a temple, and it's not easy for us girls to go in and out. Can you go and see what's going on?"

The nanny was afraid that she would take Wang Jialuan around, so when she heard that this was very reasonable, she agreed without hesitation and hurried out.

The two sisters then sat down to talk.

Wang Jialuan stared at Wang Xifeng closely. She felt that the two maids beside her were getting in the way, so she casually dismissed them. Then she leaned over and asked in a low voice:

"Sister, were you okay last night?"

Wang Xifeng glanced at her calmly and said, "I'm fine. But it's my sister who insisted on sleeping with me in the middle of the night.

"After looking through my room, the maid gave me some advice and left immediately.

"And look at the dark circles under your eyes, sister. You didn't sleep well, right? What's the reason?"

Wang Jialuan wanted to be a "sister" with Wang Xifeng, but seeing the attitude of this cousin, it was obvious that she had no intention of getting close to her, so she had to pout and give up:

"Big sister, I was just scared. Then, when I saw you sleeping so peacefully, I felt so useless that I came back."

When no one tells the truth and everyone knows that the other person is not telling the truth either, chatting seems redundant.

The two people fell silent.

Suddenly, the door rang, and Wang Jialuan's maid poked her head in, panicking and excited: "Miss, Miss, the officials from Jingzhao Prefecture have arrived! The temple gate has been sealed!"

"What happened?" Wang Jialuan was shocked!

Wang Xifeng also frowned and muttered to herself, "How come even Jingzhao Prefecture has been alarmed? Isn't Grandmother afraid that she will be the one to be investigated?"

Wang Jialuan’s face turned pale instantly.

If my grandmother was found to have attempted to frame my cousin and tarnish her reputation, it would be tantamount to disobeying an imperial order, and the whole family would be implicated!

"Big sister, let's go and take a look together?" Wang Jialuan couldn't wait to go out and find out the actual situation.

Wang Xifeng hesitated for a moment and agreed.

The two sisters took their maids and quickly left the room.

"I heard it's at the abbot's place..." Wang Jialuan's girl shrank a little, but kept moving forward.

Soon, there was a noise.

The loudest voice was from the rascal who was making a scene outside the back window last night: "I was just passing by, just stopping by for a stroll! How could I have known I would see something like this!

"The monk and the nun were having a tryst, and the master's son was helping to keep watch!

"This is so lively, doesn't everyone want to see it? I am no exception!"

Wang Jialuan and Wang Xifeng changed color at the same time!

Wang Jialuan was about to scream, but Wang Xifeng, who was beside her, covered her mouth tightly, half-carried her to the side, and hid her behind the wall at the corner.

"Stop talking nonsense! We were the ones who saw it accidentally, and we were afraid that it would get ugly if we made a scene, so we asked me to go and call people quietly..." The servant hurriedly pleaded for his master.

The official from Jingzhao Prefecture understood what was going on after hearing this, and realized it was not a big deal. He smiled and said, "In that case, arrest the monks and nuns and sentence them according to the law."

Wang Yi was then released, his face flushed and his neck thick with anger, but he knew that he could not allow the officers to take the monks and nuns away at this moment - if they were to parade through the streets, the Wang family's reputation would be ruined!

He hurriedly pulled the official and said, "Sir, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

The judge also knew his identity, so he followed him out a few steps and nodded with a smile: "Young Master Wang, please speak."

Wang Yi then realized that he was being rude, and quickly loosened his hand, stepped back, and bowed to the ground: "My lord, please don't blame me for being so reckless."

The judge then became more amiable and held his arm, "Young Master, please speak."

Wang Yi hurriedly told them about his four brothers and sisters coming to the temple to pray for blessings, and then pleaded, “It is unfortunate for our family to allow such a scum to be the abbot of our family temple.

"It's just for my sister's reputation. I dare to ask you to find a way to cover it up for me."

Then, he bowed again, "Your Excellency's kindness, I will definitely remember it in my heart!"

This is a favor from the family of the governor of the Beijing camp!

The judge was moved, and after a moment's thought, he came up with an idea: "Why not just say that the thief was wandering outside the door and was caught by the monks on night watch at the temple?

"The young master was angry that he interfered with the blessing temple, so he sent the official away early in the morning?

"In this way, we can just lock that little thief up in the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture and release him after a year or two, and no one will mention this matter again!

"As for the monk and nun, Master, you can decide their fate based on the situation!"

But they couldn't let this little thief take him away!

What if this thief doesn't keep his mouth shut and enters Jingzhao Prefecture, and reveals that Old Lady Wang hired someone to murder her granddaughter...

Wang Yi's forehead was instantly covered with sweat, and his face was stiff: "This, this..."

This isn’t okay, and that isn’t okay, so don’t report it to the police!

The judge was a little displeased: "Young Master, maybe you have a better explanation, I will obey you!"

"..." Wang Yi was speechless.

At this moment, a little monk suddenly rushed in like a puff of smoke: "Amitabha, Amitabha! Someone is coming from the East Palace! Amitabha!"

Everyone present was stunned as if they were under a spell.

Wang Li, who had been watching from the side for a long time, was the first to react. He strode out with his robe raised and asked, "Who is coming?"

"Yes, it was a guard!" the little monk stammered, "He said that the prince's carriage is outside!"

Wang Yi was still in a daze.

Wang Li grabbed him and smiled at the judge: "Sir, why don't we go out together?"

The magistrate's hands were shaking with excitement. He nodded in agreement and followed Wang Yi, who was also staggering, and Wang Li, who was striding forward, as they walked out.

Wang Jialuan, who was listening carefully at the corner, had a glimmer of jealousy in her eyes. She turned around and looked at Wang Xifeng, who was half a head taller than her, and said sourly:

"Big sister, why did the prince get up so early in the morning and come to our family temple? You two are really destined to meet!"

Wang Xifeng blushed immediately, took a step back, and whispered, "Sister Luan, I haven't entered the Eastern Palace yet, and my status is not determined.

"It's not convenient to see the prince at this moment. Why don't we go back to our room first?"

But Wang Jialuan was hit hard by the words "undetermined identity"!

"I don't want to! I want to see what the prince looks like!" Wang Jialuan grabbed Wang Xifeng and dragged her out coquettishly, "Big sister, take me there quickly!"

But how could she have the strength of Wang Xifeng?

Wang Xifeng smiled and broke free from her: "My dear sister, you are only eight years old, you are allowed to go out.

“I can’t.

"If you really want to go, go quietly and don't let anyone see you, so as not to ruin your reputation. Remember?"

Wang Jialuan was overjoyed!
