In the blink of an eye, the capital city welcomed the annual grand temple fair. Big red lanterns were hung in front of every household, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

Song Wanyin was dressing herself in front of the mirror. Her stunning face was reflected in the bronze mirror. A smile from her lips was enough to captivate everyone.

However, she was not in the mood to admire herself now, but was waiting for news from Mr. Biao.

Before she came back from the shop yesterday, she asked Ye Biao to help her keep an eye on someone.

This person is crucial enough to deal a heavy blow to the Gu family.

Tian Cheng was combing her hair, planning to put it into a nice bun for her. She smiled and said:

"Girl, looking across the entire Shangjing City, which noble lady can have such a stunning beauty as yours?

It’s a pity that the Marquis is blind and doesn’t love such a beautiful woman, but chooses to look for that…”

At this point, the sound of Nanny Wei clearing her throat came from behind.

Tiancheng realized that she had said the wrong thing and immediately shut up, concentrating on helping her to put her hair into a bun and put on the green jade earrings.

Nanny Wei stepped forward and routinely reported the movements of everyone in the Marquis's mansion:

“Miss, the Madam has been ill in bed recently, and the Marquis is also recovering from his injuries.

Sister Zhi has been much more well-behaved recently, staying in her boudoir and fiddling with calligraphy and paintings.

Brother Ye often went to brothels and gambling houses, leading a life of debauchery.

However, He Jie'er has been acting a little sneaky lately. She often sneaks out, sometimes comes back very late, and sometimes does not return home all night.

This morning, she dressed up beautifully and went out."

Song Wanyin's eyes were deep, it seemed the time had come, and she smiled faintly and said:

"Tian Cheng, there's a temple fair today, do you want to go out and join in the fun?"

Tian Cheng's eyes lit up and he said excitedly:

"miss you!"

Song Wanyin's eyes dimmed. In the past, her brother always took her to the temple fair.

I haven't received any letter from my brother since he went to war.

However, the last time she went to the palace to see the emperor, she heard His Majesty mention that her brother was now leading the army, and he must have made great contributions.

I hope my brother can return triumphantly in the future.

At this time, the sound of woodpeckers "dong dong dong" came from outside the window.

Tiancheng went forward and opened the window, and saw a snow-white carrier pigeon jumping in with a small note tied to its ankle.

"Girl, it seems like there's a letter from Master Biao."

Song Wanyin reached out to take the note, read it quickly, and her suspicions were confirmed.

Now that the stage is set, it's time to watch the show.

At the temple fair in the capital, the streets and alleys were filled with a festive atmosphere, and the place was crowded and bustling.

Ordinary people wore brightly colored clothes and walked through the streets, trying to catch a glimpse of the gods.

The streets and alleys are filled with all kinds of stalls, and the dazzling array of goods is dazzling.

There were also dragon and lion dances and acrobatic troupes passing through the streets, attracting people to stop and watch. Children holding candied haws in their hands, danced and laughed happily.

Song Wanyin strolled in the lively temple fair, the cold wind blowing on her face, lifting her sleeves.

I haven't seen such a lively scene for a long time. I wish my parents and brother were still around.

Sweet Orange smelled the aroma of various delicacies and couldn't help but say:

"Miss, wait for me here while I go buy some snacks."

Song Wanyin admired the happy smiles on the faces of the common people. This peace was all gained by those loyal and brave generals who sacrificed their flesh and blood.

Suddenly, she felt someone patting her right shoulder gently. When she turned around, she saw the face of Sun Wukong suddenly appear before her.

"Hahaha, little junior sister, are you scared by me?"

A light laugh came from behind the mask. Xiao Jingheng took off the Monkey King's mask, revealing his handsome face, and then like a magic trick, he handed her a Peacock Princess' mask from behind.

"Here, give it to you."

Song Wanyin seemed to feel that time had intertwined, and two shadows appeared in front of her eyes. The childhood and grown-up Xiao Jingheng overlapped at this moment.

She still remembers vividly that when she was young, she and her brother went out to the temple fair and happened to meet Xiao Jingheng.

At that time, Xiao Jingheng scared her because he was wearing a mask. Later, she pretended to be angry and made Xiao Jingheng chase her and coax her for a long time before she calmed down.

Song Wanyin was a little surprised and said:

"Brother, why are you here too?"

Xiao Jingheng smiled:

"Today is the annual temple fair. I always come out to join in the fun every year."

He did not tell Song Wanyin that he would come to the temple fair every year to wait for her to appear, just to be able to secretly take a peek at her.

At this time, a group of children were chasing and playing and passed by. Song Wanyin was accidentally bumped by a child and staggered back a few steps.

"Be careful."

Xiao Jingheng quickly reached out and grabbed her, quickly steadying her, and used his body to protect her to prevent the child from bumping into her.

"Junior sister, are you okay?"

Song Wanyin's little face was red, like the sunset glow in the sky, and she shook her head gently:

"fine."

When her eyes accidentally fell on the street behind Xiao Jingheng, she noticed that the two elders of the Gu family came stealthily.

It seems that the information obtained by Mr. Biao was correct, and she was indeed being targeted.

Presumably, the mastermind behind this was hiding in the dark, watching her every move, just to accuse her of having an affair with a man outside her.

In that case, don't blame her for taking the initiative.

Xiao Jingheng bent down to pick up the mask that had fallen to the ground, gently dusted off the dust on it, and asked:

"Junior sister, where do you want to go?

It's too crowded here and there's no one to protect you.

If you don't mind, I can walk with you."

Song Wanyin smiled and said:

"Brother, do you want to play hide and seek?"

Gu Zecheng and Gu Zeqian anxiously looked around in the crowd, searching for that familiar figure.

"Third brother, have you spotted Song Wanyin?"

“I’m looking for it.

Second brother, you said that the woman in purple tipped us off and asked us to go and catch that couple.

I am really determined to catch that little bitch in the act."

Song Wanyin pointed to an approximate area for Xiao Jingheng and asked him to hide there while she went to find him like she did when they were children.

Xiao Jingheng was stunned for a moment, and did not ask the reason. Instead, he told her to be careful and left first.

Song Wanyin deliberately lingered in front of the two elders of the Gu family and led them to an abandoned temple.

Inside the dilapidated temple, a huge "surprise" was waiting for them.

Gu Zeqian spotted Song Wanyin's figure with his sharp eyes and said excitedly:

"Brother, hurry up, she is there, let's go after her."

Gu Zecheng held him back and said calmly:

"Keep calm and keep a low profile so as not to alert the enemy.

With us here today, we want to see which strange man she is secretly meeting with.

If we really catch her in the act, she will suffer the consequences."
