Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Chapter 48: The one who cheated people out of money

Nan Rongzhi’s desire to go back is stronger than hers, after all, there are people she cares about in the modern world.

The two found a shady place to stand.

Suddenly, a cold snort came from the side, and someone said in a sarcastic tone, "Now, anyone dares to come to see Master Wuan. He is just a plaything, and he is not afraid of dirtying the holy place of Buddhism."

Meng Xiyue turned around and saw a woman in pink clothes and skirt standing next to her. Although her face was covered with a veil, Meng Xiyue still remembered her eyes.

She is Liang Yingxue, who just got married a month ago.

Meng Xiyue was still jealous of the last time she framed her.

She said coldly, "People with evil intentions are the ones who really pollute the holy land of Buddhism."

"Who do you say has evil intentions?"

As soon as Liang Yingxue saw Meng Xiyue, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. She would never forget that on the wedding night, the name her drunk husband called was Yue'er.

In the past, she could comfort herself that Jiang Chubai abandoned her and chose herself because she was better than Meng Xiyue.

He also loved her in his heart, but the whispers on the wedding night shattered all her fantasies.

The person Jiang Chubai likes is Meng Xiyue. He married her just for wealth and glory, which makes her, who is so proud, unable to tolerate it.

If Meng Xiyue was still the concubine's daughter in Qingyun City, she would send someone to get rid of her no matter what.

But now she is the beloved of King Qi, and because Wang Lingjiao and I humiliated her last time, we were severely punished by King Qi.

Wang Lingjiao even lost the position of Prince Qi's concubine which had been decided long ago, which was enough to show how much Prince Qi valued her.

At least, before she fell out of favor, I couldn't do anything to her.

She knew that breaking up with Meng Xiyue now was not a good choice, but she couldn't bear it. She had been a noble lady since she was a child and had never suffered such humiliation.

Therefore, she could only ridicule her with jealous eyes and sarcastic words. Her status and identity were a hurdle that she could never overcome.

"Ms. Liang... No, Mrs. Jiang, are you talking to me?"

Meng Xiyue pretended to be surprised, "I was just talking to a friend, not to Madam, please don't take it personally."

"You..." Liang Yingxue snorted coldly, "You are so sharp-tongued. Don't think you can rest easy just because you have hooked up with Prince Qi. I can't punish you. The free princess will punish you."

"You are so arrogant and spoiled. I am waiting to see what will happen to you."

"In that case, Madam Jiang, please don't worry about it. Madam, you should keep an eye on your husband and don't let him always feel upset and want to talk to other women."

This sentence completely angered Liang Yingxue. Recently, she had been getting along poorly with her parents-in-law and they were always quarreling.

After he complained to Jiang Chubai, he went to the study room and slept in annoyance.

As a result, just when she was about to apologize and comfort him, she happened to see him having a long conversation with a maid facing the moon.

That maid clearly looked a bit like Meng Xiyue.

It was because things had not been going well recently and he had committed murder again that he came to Master Wuan to seek help from his doubts. But who would have thought that he would meet Meng Xiyue again.

As she said that, she wanted to go up and slap Meng Xiyue in the face.

How could Nan Rongzhi on the side allow this? She blocked Liang Yingxue lightly and she fell to the ground.

"How dare you lay hands on my wife?"

"Don't accuse anyone wrongly. So many people saw it. She was the first to do it."

Nan Rongzhi said unhappily.

But the people around lowered their heads and pretended not to see it.

Most people knew Liang Yingxue's identity, although few people recognized Meng Xiyue. However, when they heard them mention Prince Qi just now, some people probably guessed it.

It was no secret in the capital that Prince Qi brought back a beauty from Qingyun City and treated her like a treasure.

They didn't want to offend anyone, so they pretended nothing happened.

Liang Yingxue's face flushed, and she said angrily, "People like you want to see Master Wuan, you are wishful thinking. Lingdang, go and ask Master Wuxin to come over. I want to ask him who is the one who dares to come and ask to see the abbot now."

Liang Yingxue acted arrogant and condescending. Their Liang family donated a lot of money to the Huguo Temple every year, so they were considered honored guests.

She just didn't believe that Master Wuxin would offend her for Meng Xiyue.

After a while, Master Wuxin came. He was the monk who had just brought them to the yard.

"Amitabha, donor, are you looking for this poor monk?"

"That's right, Master. We have been waiting for several years to be able to come here and ask for an audience with the abbot. We have come here every month to get this opportunity."

Liang Yingxue said in a cold voice, "Why are these two people qualified to seek an audience here? When selecting people to enter the courtyard, the master should also screen them, otherwise it would be bad if someone polluted this sacred place."

"Amitabha, everyone who comes to the Huguo Temple is devoted to Buddhism. There is no distinction, everyone is equal."

Master Wuxin said nonchalantly, "You are destined to come to this courtyard. If Mr. Liang has any objections, you can leave on your own."

Liang Yingxue's face froze, and she felt that everyone was looking at her with mockery.

She looked at Master Wuxin in disbelief, "Master, I just donated 100 taels of incense money to the temple?"

Master Wukong raised his eyelids and said, "This temple has sensed your kindness, and the Buddha can also sense it. He will naturally bless you with peace and prosperity."

"I..." Liang Yingxue was choked and speechless.

Meng Xiyue and Nan Rongzhi couldn't help but burst out laughing. It turned out that Master Wuxin was a scammer who was trying to cheat people out of their incense money.

"Master, if you kick them both out, I will donate another 100 taels."

Liang Yingxue's face flushed. Since the master cared about money, she would take out the silver and handed over a hundred taels.

With an additional one hundred taels of incense money, Master Wuxin's face showed a hint of smile.

"Amitabha, you are truly devoted to Buddhism. I will ask for a peace amulet for you later."

"Master, you are too polite. There are some dirty things mixed in the temple. I just want to make the temple clean again."

As she said this, she looked at Meng Xiyue and the other person provocatively. Imagining how embarrassed they would be when they were kicked out, she felt that the one hundred taels were worth it.

"The donor is kind-hearted. This temple really needs to be cleaned." Master Wuxin nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Meng Xiyue and Nan Rongzhi.

"Please follow me, my two donors."

"Master, you don't have to be polite to them. Just find a young monk to send them down."

"Go down?" Master Wuxin shook his head. "You can't go down. The host still wants to see them."

"Master, what are you talking about? You want to take them to see Master Wuan?" Liang Yingxue's voice became a little sharper.

The master only meets one person at a time. If he meets them, wouldn’t he no longer be able to see himself?

And she just gave them one hundred taels to drive them away.
