After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Li Jin said quickly: "Madam, you are right to think so. If you leave me alone, I will definitely not survive."

Seeing the two of them being so affectionate was a huge blow to me, a lifelong loner. I quickly said, "I have to go. Yiping and Jinping are still waiting for me on the mountain."

Lu Yin came over and took my hand and said, "Where are you living now? I will come to visit you when I get better."

Lu Yin usually didn't interact much with the noble ladies in the capital. The places she went most often were her parents' home and the palace to see the empress dowager. Now there was no one she could visit in either of these two places, which was pitiful to think about.

So I told her my address and welcomed her to visit me anytime.

Lu Yin silently wrote down the address before letting me leave.

I walked out of the yard gate and didn't know where to go.

Gongsun Wen carried me in last night, and because I am afraid of the dark, I kept my eyes closed almost the entire way. Now that I’m out of this door, I can’t tell the directions at all. I don’t even know where the gate of Mingyue Temple is.

But the scenery here is quite nice, so just treat it as a garden tour, since you’re not in a hurry anyway.

Thinking about it this way, I feel much better.

The front of Mingyue Temple is the main hall, and then there are more than a dozen side halls. Each side hall enshrines a deity, so people who come to burn incense have to spend a lot of time to worship.

After worshipping, the pilgrims will be hungry, so Mingyue Temple provides rest and meal services. As long as they can afford it, they can rest in the temporary guest rooms and order meals.

If you feel you have indigestion after a meal, you can take a walk in the back garden to help digest the food.

However, the backyard is for the royal family and dignitaries to live in, and it is guarded by someone, so outsiders are not allowed to enter.

As soon as I stepped out of the backyard, I was stopped by someone.

The two guards were also dressed like nuns, but their eyes were shining and their bodies were strong, so they must be people who know some martial arts.

The two nuns looked at me unkindly, and one of them shouted at me, "The backyard is a restricted area. You are not included in the accommodation. How did you get in?"

I couldn't tell her that Gongsun Wen carried me in.

So I thought about it and said, "Mrs. Li invited me in."

"Mrs. Li?" The two looked at each other suspiciously, and one of them said, "We have been on night duty for most of the day, and we have never seen anyone go in. When did you go in?"

I didn't expect they had a shift system, so I quickly said, "I went in last night, so you didn't see me."

After saying that, I quickly stuffed a silver note into each of their hands.

I didn't have any silver on me, only a few banknotes. There was nothing I could do. Money makes the world go round. If you keep on haggling, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain myself clearly.

After receiving the banknotes, the two men's expressions looked much better, but their eyes revealed disdain and disgust.

One of them said, "I didn't expect you to do such a thing at such a young age. We just saw Lord Li go in. You'd better run away quickly. If Lord Li sees you, you will definitely be in trouble."

I was shocked when I heard that. From their eyes and words, it was easy to tell that they thought I came here to have an affair with Madam Li last night...

Oh my God, I don’t want to take the blame.

Just as I was about to argue with them, one of them said, "Hurry up, Doctor Li and his wife will be out soon."

Then another person pushed me and pushed me far away.

I was so angry that my teeth were itching, but there was nothing I could do. If this matter got out, not only my reputation but also Mrs. Li's reputation would be ruined.

But what surprised me even more was the attitude of these two people. They were not surprised when they heard about the affair. Instead, they "kindly" drove me away so that I could escape.

Isn't this a temple? Why are these people so greedy and vulgar?

I was lost in thought when Li Jin and Lu Yin came out of the gate.

The two guards watched Li Jin and Lu Yin leave with indescribable expressions on their faces. After Li Jin and Lu Yin walked away, they spat at them to express their contempt and dissatisfaction.

I hid behind a big tree, and when I saw Li Jin and Lu Yin walking away, I slowly followed them.

The backyard of Mingyue Temple is indeed large and its construction is very distinctive. Although it is a little smaller than Zheng Xian’s Imperial Garden, it is much more exquisite.

Fortunately, I followed Li Jin and his wife all the way, otherwise, with such a big garden, I don’t know when I would be able to get out.

When I was about to reach the main hall, I was attracted by the smell of food coming from the row of houses next to it.

I counted the houses, there were at least a dozen of them, each with its door closed, and at the door of each house there were two nuns in plain clothes standing waiting to be called.

When I saw this scene, I thought I had walked into a restaurant. The scene and service were really top-notch.

At this time, a little nun who was serving food came out from the back kitchen. When she saw me standing in the middle of the road, she rudely told me to hurry up and not to block the road.

Is this really a temple? People who don't know would think it's a tourist resort.

No wonder Gui Lannuo and Zhou Min came here to have an affair. Mingyue Temple is simply a paradise for adulterers.

With a one-stop service for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and a quiet environment, anyone who comes here will be moved...

Li Jin also sent his wife to such a place to exorcise evil spirits. This place has become an evil place. No wonder those evil spirits come one after another. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise Lu Yin would have to go to see the King of Hell.

I was driven by the little nuns to the main hall.

As soon as I stepped into the main hall, I was stunned by the huge golden Buddha statues in the hall.

This main hall is so huge that I almost thought it had no end.

There are dozens of Buddha statues enshrined here, each of which is more than ten meters high and so golden that it almost blinded my eyes.

The incense burner in front of the Buddha statue is full of incense sticks, which shows that even if the weather is bad and few people come to burn incense, the fragrance of flowers here is still very prosperous.

I walked around casually and was amazed by the Buddha statues. If this place were a tourist attraction in modern times, it would definitely be overcrowded and would become a hot spot.

I was just praising her when suddenly a nun in her forties came up to me and said, "Donor, I see you've been here for quite some time. Don't you want to burn some incense?"

You must burn incense when entering a temple, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the gods.

So I said, "I want to burn incense, but I don't know where to get it."

As if performing a magic trick, the nun took out three sticks of incense thicker than her fingers from her back and said, "I am in charge of this hall. You can get the incense from me."

I happily stretched out my hand to take it, but the nun blocked it with her other hand and said, "One hundred taels of silver for you."

"What? Three for one hundred taels of silver?" I thought I had heard it wrong and quickly repeated it.
