The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

The incompetent Taoist took a breath of cold air!

Can you still make such specious arguments?

Suddenly it occurred to me that this girl was a fool.

I'm judging by the fortune, so I can't just go against my conscience and say it's a very good fortune just to please her!

"Donor, everything I said is true."

At this time, the second lady and Aunt Ding also came over accompanied by Dingdang and asked about the results of the divination.

Xu Keke repeated the Taoist priest's words, and the second wife felt relieved after hearing them. Winning the lottery was already very good.

Xu Keke looked at the Taoist priest again, and only spoke after seeing that the Taoist priest was at a loss.

"Okay, I'll trust you for now. But please don't go around cheating people."

The incompetent Taoist priest nodded repeatedly and refused to argue with the silly girl. Besides, he couldn't figure out her fate at all.

"Don't worry, my lady donor. I will devote myself to cultivation and benefit all living beings."

Xu Keke and the second wife left the fortune-telling place and continued to tour the Taoist temple.

Taoist Wuneng looked at their backs and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He thought to himself: What a coincidence today, two people whose fate he couldn't figure out came to the White Jade Taoist Temple at the same time.

After breakfast, Xu Keke and her friends left the house and rushed all the way to the Taoist temple, where they went through a series of activities including burning incense and drawing lots.

Before I knew it, the sun was already high in the sky and it was almost noon.

At this time, the stomachs of several people started to sing the "empty city plan" at the same time, and they all felt a little hungry.

Fortunately, the Baiyu Taoist Temple was thoughtful and anticipated that the believers who came to burn incense might have dietary needs, so they provided vegetarian meals.

Vegetarianism helps to clear the mind, reduce desires and cultivate one's character.

The restaurant mainly uses natural ingredients, and its cooking techniques are simple yet refined, striving to maintain the original flavor and nutritional content of the food.

Xu Keke and others went to the dining hall with other pilgrims.

The dining hall is decorated in a simple and elegant style, with dozens of wooden tables neatly arranged.

They found an empty seat and sat down. After a while, a young Taoist priest brought them steaming hot vegetarian food.

There are fragrant stir-fried seasonal vegetables, soft and delicious brown rice, and carefully prepared mushroom soup.

Xu Keke took a bite of the food and found it tasted fresh and refreshing, which greatly increased her appetite.

At this moment, I heard a woman's voice coming from the next table.

"It's really unfortunate today that we have come to this White Jade Taoist Temple with full devotion to Master Yunxiao.

I was thinking of asking Master Yunxiao to help my master with a fortune-telling to help him resolve his confusion.

However, the Master has a distinguished guest visiting today and has no time for other things, so we can only wait and come back another day."

Someone from another table immediately took over:

"Who says not? I heard that Master Yunxiao has great magical powers and is always accurate in fortune-telling and face reading. It's a pity that we don't have the chance to meet him today."

The second wife also wanted to ask Master Yunxiao to tell her daughter's fortune.

I had originally wanted to wait a little longer after dinner, but when I heard their conversation, I realized that I had come at a bad time today.

At this time, a young Taoist priest came over and said to everyone:

"Dear donors, although Master Yunxiao is unable to see guests today, he will give a sermon in the temple tomorrow. You are welcome to come and listen then."

When everyone heard this, they started whispering to each other. Some of them planned to come again tomorrow because they were sincere, while others felt tired from traveling and had no choice but to give up.

"Madam, since I can't give a fortune telling to the young lady during this sermon, there's no need for us to come tomorrow."

The second lady nodded.

"Everything depends on fate. Since Master Yunxiao is not available to see guests today, let's go home after finishing our vegetarian meal!"

Xu Keke naturally had no objection and followed her mother's arrangements.

When they walked down countless stone steps and were about to leave the Taoist temple, it suddenly started to rain lightly.

Nanny Ding and Dingdang hurriedly held up their oil-paper umbrellas and protected the Second Madam and Xu Keke as they walked towards the carriage.

Just then, a speeding carriage splashed water, which was about to splash on Xu Keke.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by and pulled Xu Keke aside.

Xu Keke calmed herself down, looked up, and saw a handsome young man looking at her with a smile.

"Girl, are you okay?"

The man's voice was as gentle as jade, like a spring breeze blowing past your ears.

Xu Keke was stunned for a moment, then calmly pulled away the arm he was holding.

"Thank you, sir. I'm fine."

Seeing that she was fine, the man kindly reminded her.

"The rain is getting heavier. Girl, please get in the carriage quickly and don't get wet."

Xu Keke nodded slightly and got into the carriage surrounded by Nanny Ding and Dingdang.

The second lady also saw this scene just now.

The second lady looked through the carriage window and saw the man standing in the rain with an upright posture. The figure disappeared from her sight only when the carriage drove away.

"Madam, do you know who that young man was?"

Aunt Ding put away her oil-paper umbrella and answered with a smile.

"Look at what Madam said. How could I, a mere maidservant in the backyard, recognize such a well-dressed young master?"

The second wife nodded and said nothing more.

Everyone was feeling sleepy at this moment and had no intention of communicating. The only sound was the sound of raindrops hitting the roof of the car.

The carriage traveled for a while in the rain, and suddenly there was a violent jolt and it stopped.

"what happened?"

The second wife was awakened from her nap and asked the coachman outside.

The driver replied hurriedly.

"Ma'am, this road is too muddy and slippery. The wheel accidentally fell into a deep pit, and the axle broke due to the strong impact. I'm afraid we won't be able to move for a while."

Xu Keke and the Second Madam had no choice but to get off the carriage first. Nanny Ding and Dingdang held oil-paper umbrellas for them, and they stood by the roadside waiting for the coachman to repair the carriage.

The rain kept falling, time passed by, but the driver still hadn't repaired the carriage.

Xu Keke was a little anxious.

"What should I do? I can't just wait in the rain forever."

The second lady comforted her.

"Don't be anxious, dear girl. Just wait and see."

After a while, the driver raised his head with rain on his face.

"Ma'am, I really can't fix it, and there's no one around here who can help."

Just when everyone was worried, a gorgeous four-horse carriage slowly drove up from behind, followed by a dozen guards riding tall horses.

The guard leading the way saw the carriage parked on the side of the road, so he rode his horse to the side of the carriage and reported to the inside.

The curtains of the carriage were blown up by the wind, and Xu Keke actually saw the Regent Chu Musheng sitting in the carriage.

The moment their eyes met, Xu Keke's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly turned her head away.

Unexpectedly, the Regent's carriage stopped.

Chu Musheng got off the carriage, came to Xu Keke, and looked at her with a smile.

"Miss Xu, what's going on?"

Xu Keke bowed and answered softly.

"Your Highness, the carriage is broken. It will be fine after a little repair. I don't want to trouble you with your worries."

Chu Musheng frowned slightly, and the rain fell on his handsome face. Sheng Wu hurriedly held up an oil-paper umbrella and handed it to Chu Musheng.

The oil-paper umbrella in Chu Musheng's hand was big enough, and he used it to shield Xu Keke from the rain.

"It's not safe for you to stand here in this rain. I'll give you a ride."

Xu Keke was about to refuse, but the second wife agreed first.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
