This was Mu Yunyao's purpose, so she would naturally not refuse.

"Thank you, old lady, for your kindness."

Seeing that she agreed, Concubine Wu's face looked much better, and she got off the carriage with the help of the nanny.

The monk in charge of reception at Hanguang Temple saw two people getting off the same car and his expression changed, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.

What he was thinking about was how to inform his master. He was afraid that the people of the Chen family might side with the King of Southwest.

Mu Yunyao stepped aside to let Concubine Wu go first, and then followed another monk to the Zen temple where the Chen family usually rested.

For a wealthy family like them, they are very particular about traveling. Even if they come to the temple to burn incense, they would not stay in a courtyard that has lived in by someone else.

They have their own resting yard in the temples where they often worship Buddha, and even if they don't come there are special people to clean it.

No matter when they come, someone will go up the mountain to inform them in advance and arrange everything to ensure that the host has a place to rest when they arrive.

The Chen family donated a lot of money to Hanguang Temple every year, so Hanguang Temple directly reserved two Zen temples for them.

One is naturally a place for the head of the Chen family to rest, and the other is for other members of the Chen family.

Mu Yunyao was led by the monk in charge of reception and went directly into the courtyard where she lived.

As soon as she arrived, an old lady came out to greet her.

"Madam, the hot water is ready. Please take a rest first."

The monk in charge of reception also said, "Madam Chen, the abbot is giving a lecture right now and will be free in half an hour."

In the past, whenever Old Madam Chen came to Hanguang Temple, she would ask the abbot to pray for her entire family, and after each prayer she would donate a large sum of incense money, so the monk in charge of receiving guests said this.

Mu Yunyao naturally had no intention of praying for the Chen family, but fortunately, the purpose of her trip had been achieved.

There was no harm in going through the formalities, so he put his hands together and saluted the little monk in return.

"Amitabha, thank you for your help, Master."

He asked someone to give ten taels of silver to the young monk and asked him to add some money for incense and offerings for him, then turned around and went back to his meditation room.

It was called incense money, but actually it was just a tip for the monk in charge of receiving guests. When the young monk received the silver, his eyes were filled with joy.

It was worth it that he exchanged jobs with his senior brother to receive Old Madam Chen.

You have to know that in the past, the old lady of the Chen family was the most generous, and the concubine was not so generous.

When she was the only one left in the courtyard, Qingyun helped Mu Yunyao change into a light outfit.

Not to mention that the scenery of Hanguang Temple is quite nice.

Especially in this spring season, the weather in the south is warmer than in the north.

In the Zen temple in the mountains, unknown flowers are blooming everywhere, and the colorful flowers are very beautiful.

"Old Madam, may I take a walk with you?"

Qingyun hunched over slightly and stretched out the back of his hand, pretending to support Old Madam Chen.

Mu Yunyao smiled and stretched out her hand. She also planned to go out for a walk.

I have been so busy during this period that it seems like I haven't relaxed for a long time.

It was a rare opportunity to get out for a walk, so Mu Yunyao naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

He smiled and said, "I heard that there is a large peach forest behind the Hanguang Temple. The peach blossoms should be in bloom now."

Qingyun agreed upon hearing this, "It is now March, the time when peach blossoms are in full bloom."

As the two were talking, the sensible old woman had already prepared the things for going out, so the master could go out anytime he wanted.

Qingyun reached out to take the thing and said to the others.

"I'll just walk with the old lady. You guys stay here to guard the yard and don't let anyone who doesn't know what's going on break in."

"Yes, Mammy."

Hearing Qingyun's words, everyone bowed and responded.

After giving the order, the two men headed towards the back mountain.

It must be said that the peach forest in Hanguang Temple really lives up to its reputation.

Entering the peach forest is like entering a fairyland by mistake.

Mu Yunyao even felt that she had never seen a better scenery than here since she came to Beijing.

Qingyun also looked fond of him, his eyes were so bright that he didn't look like someone over sixty years old at all.

Seeing that there was no one around, Mu Yunyao did not remind her and let her go.

The two of them followed the path that had been worn by people, and occasionally they would see one or two people who came out to enjoy the scenery like them.

Qingyun immediately returned to her old woman's appearance.

Mu Yunyao suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had known this earlier, she would not have allowed her to dress up as an old woman like herself.

There is no restraint on her nature.

The two of them walked slowly along the way and unknowingly went deeper into it.

It wasn't until they hadn't met anyone else for a long time that they realized what was happening.

"Gui Lan, did we pass by this place just now?"

She shouldn't be mistaken, the dead branch broken into two pieces on the ground was no different from the one she had just stepped on.

Hearing this, Qingyun couldn't help but frown.

She squatted down and looked for a long time, confirming that there were signs that someone had walked here before. The footprints were almost the same as theirs.

He stood up and wiped his hands, then looked at Mu Yunyao and said.

"Master, we seem to be lost and have been wandering around here."

Mu Yunyao didn't think it was as simple as just getting lost.

While Qingyun was checking the ground, she also looked around carefully. They had been around this place at least three times.

Even if you get lost, you can't stay in the same place forever.

Then there is only one possibility, that is, there is a formation in this place.

Qingyun saw that Mu Yunyao's face was not right, and asked quickly, "Master, what's wrong?"

Mu Yunyao didn't say anything, but looked around. If there really was a formation, it would be difficult for them to get out of here.

He thought of something and said, "Qingyun, go up and take a look."

This is the safest way when you don’t know whether you can break the formation.

When Qingyun heard this, he immediately understood what his master meant. Without saying a word, he jumped up and stepped on the trunk to reach the top of the tree.

It is difficult to tell the direction in the vast peach blossom forest, but it is easy if you stand on a high place.

Qingyun saw the direction of the temple clearly and was about to fly down, but at this moment the tree trunk under her shook slightly, and she immediately fell silent.

When she lowered her head, she saw her master sitting on a thick branch not far from her, with his index finger against his lips, gesturing to her to keep quiet.

Seeing that she understood, he pointed in a direction and motioned her to look over there.

Qingyun immediately calmed down, and when she saw the situation in the forest, she couldn't help but gasp.

He barely suppressed the exclamation that almost came out of his mouth.

Mu Yunyao sat on a tree branch, holding her breath and concentrating, intending to let the two men pass first before she left.

But the two men seemed to do it on purpose and walked to the tree where they were hiding and did not leave.

He turned around and hugged the dressed woman with a loving face and said, "I've wronged you over the years. I'm sorry for you and the child. Don't worry, when it's over, our family of three will leave here and go far away."
