After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Miaojue, carrying a bucket of water, happened to stop them at the entrance of the cave.

He recognized Qin Junyu and Nian Susu, but he did not recognize the imposing and majestic man behind them.

Anyone who can be with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be an extraordinary person.

Miaojue put down the bucket, put his hands together and saluted the three people, "Three donors..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Nian Susu interrupted him impatiently.

A trace of panic flashed across Miaojue's face and he looked at her in horror.

Nian Susu originally wanted to ask him if he had seen Li Yaoyuan, but then he thought that Miaojue probably didn't know who Miss Li was, and he often stayed in the back mountain and probably had no chance to meet Li Yaoyuan.

So she had to change the subject and asked, "Where is the host? Did you see him just now?"

Miaojue scratched his bald head, thought for a while, and then answered: "I just went to the front mountain to fetch water, and saw the abbot going in the direction of the front hall."

"Front hall?" Qin Junyu and Nian Susu asked in unison.

Could it be that their guess was wrong?

Or... the host knew that the secret of the back mountain could not be kept hidden, so he changed the location temporarily?

There is another possibility: the host deliberately showed up in the front hall to create an alibi, confuse everyone, and then sneaked back to the back mountain.

Nian Su let Miao Jue go, and the three of them acted separately.

Qin Junyu went to the front hall, while Nian Susu and Xiao Jianting went into the back mountain.

On the way into the bamboo forest, Nian Susu told Xiao Jianting the general situation.

I was worried that he would get furious or lose control of his emotions, but I didn't expect him to be surprisingly calm. After listening to me, he just scowled, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Nian Susu breathed a sigh of relief, but it was not until they arrived at the wooden house in the bamboo forest and Xiao Jianting kicked the wooden door to pieces that she realized that Xiao Jianting had been suppressing his emotions.

The two doors fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust and scattering wood chips. She gasped in fear, but had no time to be afraid and quickly stepped through the wooden door and went inside.

Looking around, there was no one.

Xiao Jianting punched the wall, shaking the entire wooden house. His eyes were red, and he seemed to be losing control.

Nian Susu quickly comforted him, "Mr. Xiao, don't worry too much. It's a good thing that Zhizhi is not here."

I don't know how many shameful and dirty things have happened in this wooden house, and how many young girls' youth have been ruined.

Perhaps they should be glad that Li Yaoyuan is not here.

Xiao Jianting lowered his head and clenched his fingers, as if he didn't want to face all this.

Nian Susu walked forward, grabbed his arm and pulled him out.

"Perhaps His Highness has already rescued Zhizhi. Let's go find him."

Xiao Jianting's bloody and chaotic eyes finally regained a little humanity.

The two of them hurriedly left the bamboo forest.

I met Qin Junyu at the Dharma Assembly Square - the Dharma Assembly Square is forty-nine steps down from the front hall.

"Your Highness." Nian Susu ran forward, followed closely by Xiao Jianting.

Needless to say, none of them found Li Yaoyuan.

"The abbot is not in the front hall." Qin Junyu said, breathing heavily.

So he went to the front hall, deliberately showing off so that people could see him, but it was actually a decoy.

Nian Susu was so angry that he spat on the ground twice.

Looking up, above the steps is the front hall, where Sakyamuni Buddha is enshrined. His golden body is made of clear glass and his eyes are compassionate, overlooking all living beings. It seems particularly ironic at this moment.

“Where else can it be…” Nian Susu was so anxious that he was turning around in circles.

A light bulb suddenly lit up in her head, and she remembered that there was a place they had not been to - the side hall.

The side hall is a little far from the front hall, and because it is used to store Buddhist scriptures and provide a place for disciples in the temple to copy Buddhist scriptures, few people go there usually.

The first time Li Yaoyuan discovered that the host had ill intentions towards her was in the side hall.

"I see!"

Nian Susu lifted her skirt and ran away. The remaining two exchanged glances and quickly followed.

Run all the way to the side hall.

The main door of the side hall was closed, and something was wrong at first glance.

Nian Susu took a step to the side and decided to leave the task of kicking the door to Xiao Jianting.

Xiao Jianting took three steps forward, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and kicked open the two large mahogany doors with one foot. The doors were hanging on both sides and were about to fall, which showed how powerful his force was.

There was a cry of surprise from behind the screen, a man's voice.

Three people rushed in, with Xiao Jianting being the first to be hit.

Going around the screen, there was a soft couch behind the screen for temporary rest. Li Yaoyuan was half lying and half leaning against the sky with her clothes half taken off. Her hands were tied behind her back, and a cowhide belt was tightly wrapped around her face and across her lips. She could only utter “Mmmm…” sounds.

Her eyes were lifeless as she stared blankly at one place, desperate to the extreme. When she glanced sideways and saw Xiao Jianting, her tears suddenly burst out. There were emotional fluctuations in her eyes, but it was a greater despair and collapse.

"Hmm..." She shook her head, not knowing what she wanted to say.

The bright red cassock was stepped on by the abbot, leaving him with only a pair of underpants on his body. The hands that used to twist Buddhist beads, strike the wooden fish, and copy Buddhist scriptures were now grabbing Li Yaoyuan's belt.

The loud noise at the door frightened him so much that he fell onto the couch.

Qin Junyu saw Li Yaoyuan lying on the couch, took a quick glance and stopped moving forward, he retreated back to the screen.

Xiao Jianting could handle a mere old monk. He was afraid that Li Yaoyuan would be even more embarrassed if he went in, so he decided to just guard the door.

Xiao Jianting's emotions finally exploded, and he vented his anger on the host.

He grabbed the host's neck with one hand and clenched his other hand into a fist. He pushed the man to the wall and punched the host in the face dozens of times against the wall.

It was satisfying to watch, but it was not worth it to ruin oneself for such a scum. Nian Susu was afraid that he would beat him to death, so he could only pull him away, "Mr. Xiao, calm down!"

Xiao Jianting was pulled and staggered back a few steps, with murderous intent and anger still lingering.

The host collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, his face and nose bruised and swollen, his original appearance was almost unrecognizable.

Nian Susu pulled his arm, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Zhizhi is the most important thing. When can we not beat this scumbag? Do you have to do it now?"

Hearing Li Yaoyuan's name, Xiao Jianting's murderous aura subsided a little. He loosened his fists and stumbled towards Li Yaoyuan.

Li Yaoyuan bent her legs, buried her head in her knees, and shrank into the corner.

He took off his cloak and wrapped Li Yaoyuan around him, comforting her gently: "Miss Li, it's okay...it's okay..."

Xiao Jianting calmed her down and helped her untie the ropes and straps on her body.

The leather belt left a red mark on her face and purple bruises on her wrists. Xiao Jianting gritted his teeth in anger and stared angrily at the host lying on the ground.

Nian Susu came over, sat beside the couch, and tucked her messy hair behind her ears. His tone was full of heartache, "Zhizhi, don't be afraid. We are here."

Li Yaoyuan curled her lips, and finally couldn't help but throw herself into Nian Susu's arms and curse loudly, wrapping her arms tightly around her, fearing that she would be alone again in the next second.

Sad and desperate cries echoed throughout the side hall.

Xiao Jianting only regretted that she hadn't done it earlier... earlier... otherwise she wouldn't have been treated like this...

He half-knelt, punched the ground, furious.
