Quick Wear: The Short-lived Female Supporting Character Does Not Want to Be a Heartthrob

"Since you are going home to get married, then..."

Ling Hao smiled. It just so happened that he hadn’t married yet.

Wan Ning had no idea that someone had already noticed her just a short while after she arrived.

After the hot water came, Wan Ning dismissed the maid and others and bathed alone.

Although they were moved to the temple, they were not treated too harshly. They were provided with hot water and hot meals every day, but their food was no longer the same as when they were in the palace.

It has been said that we should fast, worship Buddha, and wash away all impurities. We definitely cannot eat too much meat and fish, or wear fancy clothes.

After Wan Ning took a bath, Cai Lian came in and helped her dress.

After wringing her hair dry, Cai Lian took the food handed to her by the servant and said, "Miss, the food is here."

Wan Ning nodded: "Well, you can go downstairs to eat, and I will collect these later."

"Hey, thanks girl."

When Cai Lian went downstairs, she also had to take away Wan Ning's dirty clothes and wash them, but when she saw the wet clothes, she turned her head and looked at Wan Ning.

"Girl, your clothes?"

Wan Ning didn't look at her and concentrated on eating: "Just now I accidentally hung it and the clothes fell into the basin."

Cai Lian nodded immediately: "Yes."

Only after Cai Lian left did Wan Ning slowly eat his meal again.

Today's lunch is a bowl of white rice, a plate of fried tofu, a plate of eggs with radish (similar to cabbage), a bowl of soup with unknown ingredients, and finally two plates of dim sum.

Wan Ning thinks it’s quite vegetarian. If he eats it for a month, he will lose several pounds, right?

But after eating, she was indeed very full, so she saved the two plates of snacks for when she was hungry in the afternoon.

After putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Wan Ning turned around and went to the inner room.

Half lying on the couch in the compartment, Wan Ning looked at the scenery outside the window. In fact, there were only a few trees behind him.

"Do you want to write back?"

Wan Ning was thinking whether to write a letter to the original owner's family to tell them about her situation. But thinking about it, they should have heard the news a long time ago, and she didn't know whether they would welcome her home.

The Su family did receive the news and is currently discussing it.

Su Zhongye was the governor of Qinghe Prefecture at the time, a fourth-rank official. He thought that his daughter Su Wanning would bring good luck to the family after being selected into the palace, but unexpectedly, nothing happened.

It has been two years since I entered the palace. Apart from a letter I sent home when I first entered the palace, there has been no contact since then.

But after all, their daughter was marrying the emperor, so they didn't dare to say anything. Except for asking someone to bring in some silver from time to time, they didn't know whether she received it or not.

"Hey, what should I do after this?"

Madam Su sighed, and as soon as she heard the decree from above mentioned by her husband, she immediately became worried.

She knew that her daughter was a thoughtful person and wondered if she would think too much.

Master Su Zhongye took a sip of tea and said, "When the day comes, we will go and pick her up."

Madam Su frowned: "You make it sound so easy, but what about after we come back? Our Ningning is still so young, and by then... we can't stay at home forever!"

"Look at what you said. Of course you will find a husband, get married and have children after you come back."

"Then find someone who doesn't dislike our Ningning."

Su Zhongye frowned: "How can I have a ready-made candidate? I need to take my time to choose one."

Madam Su glanced at him and said, "Humph, you also know that you have to take your time to choose. But what if there is no suitable one? What if...what if they dislike Ningning?"

"How dare he?" Su Zhongye slammed the table. "The concubines in the palace are all innocent. This has been announced to the world. How can they lie?"

"It's true, but I'm still worried about that."

Mrs. Su regretted that she had taught Ningning too well. She had been learning poetry, etiquette, and ethics since she was a child. She had originally planned to keep her by her side and teach her some things about the inner house, but she didn't expect that there would be a selection of concubines in the palace.

"Master, can you send a letter to the child?"

After listening to his wife's words, Su Zhongye thought for a moment and said, "It may not be appropriate now. The incident has just happened. Let's wait for some time."

********

The next day, Wan Ning got up as usual, had breakfast and went out.

She did not bring Cai Lian with her because Cai Lian and she were not truly devoted master and servant.

Because when Su Wanning entered the palace, she brought a maid named Xiaoyu with her.

In order to protect her, Xiaoyu violated the rules of the palace nobles and was taken away on the spot. At that time, Su Wanning begged the eunuch who was executing her to show mercy, but who would listen to a powerless and low-class beauty?

They will only obey orders that are beneficial to them and do things that please their superiors.

Cai Lian came to Su Wanning on her own initiative a few days ago. She begged Su Wanning to take her with him when he left the palace, and also offered him all the money she had saved.

"Why are you leaving the palace? When others heard that you were going to follow me out, they were too scared to come and serve me."

Because once you leave the palace, you will just be an ordinary maid outside.

Without that much monthly salary, she couldn't eat the food that was not seen outside. There was no chance of being noticed by the emperor or some other important person and being taken into his room.

"My Lord, I just want to leave the palace. I have wanted to leave here for a long time, but there are rules in the palace that maids can only leave the palace after they are 25 years old."

"I have a seriously ill mother at home who needs to be taken care of, so I am trying to find a way to get out."

After hearing Cai Lian's subsequent words, Su Wan Ning nodded decisively because of Cai Lian's filial piety.

In this way, Cai Lian followed Wan Ning out of the palace and came to the Huguo Temple.

Su Wanning had said early on that after the forty-nine days, Cai Lian would leave on her own and her indenture contract would be handed over to her.

Apart from the fact that they didn't talk much, Cailian did the work of a servant everywhere. Wan Ning felt comfortable with it, so let it be!

Arriving at the main incense-burning hall of the temple, Wan Ning handed some incense money to the young monk at the door and explained his purpose.

Then the little monk led Wan Ning to burn incense and worship Buddha, and then they went to a small Buddhist temple.

"Donor, please help yourself."

Wan Ning nodded in agreement, and after entering, he bowed to the small Buddha statue.

Finally, she sat down in front of a desk with a Buddhist scripture on it.

Wan Ning thought about it and decided that since he had nothing to do today, he could just recite his thoughts with peace of mind.

The original owner has left, so just consider it as a farewell to her.

After reading for a long time, Wan Ning felt that it was enough, and her eyes were sore, so she got up and left.

After thinking about it, I decided to walk towards the lake behind the mountain.

After walking along the lake for a while, Wan Ning stopped. Just as he turned around to take a closer look at the lake, he heard a man's voice behind him.

"girl?"

Wan Ning wasn't sure if he was calling her, but she still turned her head to look over.

When I looked closely, it seemed to be the wet man from yesterday.

"You", Wan Ning was surprised for a moment, then immediately bowed and saluted: "My lord, how are you!"

Ling Hao was very happy that Wan Ning recognized him, and he bowed in return: "How are you, young lady!"
