"Looking at the girl's complexion, she is fine."

Wan Ning heard the other party's good intentions and nodded in thanks: "Thank you for your concern, young master."

Thinking of the other person's cloak again, Wan Ning regretted it a little: "Sir, your cloak..."

Before Wan Ning finished speaking, Ling Hao interrupted her: "I can't use it for now, so you can leave it with me first. When the time is right, please give it to me."

It’s definitely too late to pay it back now, Wan Ning nodded.

"My surname is Ling, and my given name is Hao. May I ask what your surname is, young lady?"

"My last name is Su!"

Ling Hao smiled and nodded: "Miss Su."

Thinking about falling into the water yesterday, Ling Hao wondered why Wan Ning came here alone again a few days ago. Was there anything else?

"Miss Su, the lake is wide, so you should pay attention to your steps."

Wan Ning nodded: "Thank you, Master Ling, for the reminder!"

Afterwards, Ling Hao talked about several sights in the Huguo Temple. Wan Ning had never been there, so he listened to him carefully.

Before she knew it, Wan Ning's legs and feet were tired from walking. After thinking it over, she decided to say goodbye to the man.

Ling Hao may have noticed Wan Ning's discomfort and just watched her leave.

Wan Ning walked all the way to his residence and was about to reach the gate of his own courtyard when suddenly the door of the courtyard next door was opened.

Their eyes met, Wan Ning recognized who opened the door and nodded: "Sister!"

Hao Lianxin was surprised at first, then she smiled: "We are the same now, but I am older than you, so it is more appropriate for you to call me sister."

Then she took two steps forward, "My surname is Hao, and my given name is Lianxin."

Wan Ning also took a step forward: "My name is Su Wan Ning, you can call me by my name, sister."

Hao Lianxin saw that Wan Ning's eyes were clear. She had heard of her reputation in the palace before, that she was a little rabbit who would hide all day long.

She smiled faintly: "I'm just about to go to the pavilion to enjoy the flowers, do you want to go, Sister Su?"

This was a great opportunity, so Wan Ning of course nodded in agreement.

So the two of them walked in front, followed by Hao Lianxin's two maids.

As they approached the pavilion, her two maids stepped forward and placed cushions, tea sets, and snacks on the table.

Wan Ning went up to the pavilion with Hao Lianxin, and they both leaned on the railing and looked into the distance.

What comes into view is the appearance of several courtyards connected to the temple, and in the distance, there are mountains covered with vegetation and trees. Pulling back to the present, there are some flowers, plants, rockery and paths around the pavilion.

"Sister Su, how about it?"

Wan Ning nodded: "There are many beautiful views. But what I want to see most is what is in the mountains."

Hearing Wan Ning's words, Hao Lianxin smiled: "I didn't expect that you are still a little rabbit who always wants to run outside!"

"Bunny, me?"

Wan Ning was surprised, wondering when she had become a rabbit. She just wanted to go hiking because it should be fun.

Hao Lianxin smiled and said, "Yes, it's so soft and cute. I want to hold it in my arms and kiss it."

After hearing what Hao Lianxin said, Wan Ning also thought of holding a cute snow-white rabbit in his arms, sucking its fur vigorously, and then rubbing it in his arms and squeezing it. It would be so comfortable.

However, when she was said to be the rabbit, Wan Ning's face suddenly turned red: "Sister, are you making fun of me?"

"Haha, no way," Hao Xinlian laughed heartily. She even stepped forward and took Wan Ning's little hand, pinching it and playing with it for a few times: "I'm praising you."

Then she pulled Wan Ning back to sit on the stool, "Let's take a break."

Wan Ning was indeed tired and thirsty, so he drank two cups of tea.

"Why, did you go out just now?"

Wan Ning nodded: "Yes, let's go to the main hall to burn incense."

After hearing this, Hao Lianxin's eyes sank, and she nodded: "Yes, burning incense and praying to Buddha, it seems that this is the only thing we can do."

Wan Ning immediately asked her: "What are your plans for the future?"

"No," Hao Lianxin shook her head, "To be honest, I don't know where to go."

Wan Ning also nodded: "I don't know either. I don't know whether I should go home or not."

Hearing Wan Ning's words, Hao Lianxin immediately looked over and said, "Sister, don't you have anywhere to go? How about living with me for a while?"

"Aren't you going home either?"

Hearing Wan Ning's question, Hao Lianxin stood up and walked to the edge of the pavilion. Wan Ning looked over and felt that her back was melancholy and worried.

Hao Lianxin tilted her head slightly: "Actually, I've always been afraid to go home."

"Afraid, why?"

Wan Ning felt that Hao Lianxin was a woman with a strong character, strong opinions and courage. Why would she be afraid to go home?

Hao Lianxin actually wanted to go home, to see her mother and see how she was doing.

But she was afraid to go back, especially in the current situation.

Because his father had a cousin whom he loved very much, but because of her status, the cousin did not marry him as his wife, but was only the most favored concubine in their Shangshu Mansion.

Hao Lianxin's father did not like his original wife, Wan Ning's mother, but in order to continue the family line, he let her mother give birth to two children.

Ever since Hao Lianxin's brother and Hao Lianxin were born, the Shangshu no longer had the obligation to spend the night in his wife's room.

Her mother was not cared for and loved, so she naturally felt a lot of resentment. Since she was a child, her mother taught her to be the best in everything and to be perfect in everything. She and her brother Hao Shuchen did not have much happiness since they were young.

It was just because that concubine also had a pair of children. So, Hao Lianxin wanted to fight for it.

Men can't compete, so their children must be better than the past. This was her mother's idea, and she had been implementing it for more than ten years until she was recruited into the palace.

In fact, life in the palace was relatively easy for Hao Lianxin. There were only a few boring women who were always trying to make themselves felt, which caused some trouble. For the rest, she was very comfortable.

Seeing Wan Ning also stand up and walk to her side, Hao Lianxin shook her head: "Nothing, I just want to spend a few days without any restrictions."

"I think so too," Wan Ning turned to look at the other person, "If Sister Lianxin agrees, I will accompany her and have fun for a few days."

Hao Lianxin smiled again: "Okay, of course I am willing."

So in the days that followed, Wan Ning would always visit the neighboring yard whenever he had free time.

With someone to keep you company, the days go by quickly.

There were still several days left before sending these women who had been abducted back home, so Wan Ning wrote a letter to his home in the south.

In the letter, she told her family not to worry about her, as she had made a good friend and would stay at the other's home for a while and would return home when the time came.

Afterwards, Wan Ning packed up his things, left the Huguo Temple, and walked south with Hao Lianxin.

Because Hao Lianxin had to go to her own farm first, which was in the south of Yecheng.

After going far away from Huangjue Temple, the carriage stopped near a village and Cai Lian got off.
