The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 25 Okay, let’s plot against her here

Shaohua Temple is located fifty miles outside of Beijing, backed by Shaohua Mountain. It is warm in winter and cool in summer under the protection of mountains and dense forests.

The late Empress Dowager once worshipped Buddha here. Later, the late emperor became obsessed with Taoism and the harem of the former Zhou Dynasty was in chaos. She then returned to the palace from Shaohua Temple, protected the emperor and helped him ascend the throne.

Although it is not yet the sixth day of August, there is already a lot of traffic at the foot of Shaohua Mountain.

"Isn't this the Xu family's carriage?" A familiar voice came from outside the window.

"So it's the wife of Marquis Changxing. It's amazing that you still remember us." Xu Liushi smiled.

Xu Rongrong looked at Luo Shu and smiled quietly, "It seems that they are here to ruin my reputation." Xu Rongrong still remembered clearly the actions of Lady Wu Jiang, the wife of Marquis Changxing, and the crown prince Wu Ping on the night of the Qixi Festival.

If she hadn't drugged Wu Ping, causing him to vomit uncontrollably, he would have already fallen into the mud in the Marquis Changxing's mansion.

Luo Shu held Xu Rongrong's hand. When she heard about what happened that night, she was terrified. Thinking of the oppressive tactics used by the nobles, she became anxious: "Miss, what should we do?"

Xu Rongrong patted her hands and said, "Be patient."

In Shaohua Temple, Xu Liushi booked an elegant courtyard. Xu Liushi and Xu Yaoyao lived in the east wing, while Xu Rongrong lived in the west wing alone.

Just as I had settled everything, I saw a petite figure passing by in another elegant courtyard separated by a hanging flower gate.

While Xu Rongrong was surprised, the woman also saw her and said with a look of surprise: "It's Sister Xu! Mom, Sister Xu is here too!"

She ran over while shouting, "Sister Xu, do you remember me? I'm Xiao Ling'er, the one who sat next to you at the Qixi Festival banquet." "Such a lovely girl, of course I won't forget you." Xu Rongrong said gently.

"Ling'er, don't act rashly." Madam Xiao followed over and nodded in greeting when she saw Xu Rongrong.

Xiao Ling'er was young and she pulled Xu Rongrong's arm and shook it.

Xu Rongrong didn't refuse either. She had very few friends. Before she got married, Xu Liushi forbade her to go out and see people. Few of the noble ladies in the capital had heard of her. After marrying into the Marquis's mansion, she was only a concubine. Besides arousing jealousy, she was also often looked down upon.

Therefore, suddenly meeting a girl like Xiao Ling'er made her heart soften.

"Why are you here too?" Xu Rongrong asked.

Xiao Ling'er looked at her mother and said with a smile, "Father will stay in the capital for a long time after he reports on his work. My mother feels that our roots here are too shallow, so she wants to take this opportunity to get to know more people. People say that Shaohua Temple is lively in August, and my mother is rich, so she brought me here!" Xiao Ling'er said it bluntly, and Mrs. Xiao stood behind her daughter very calmly. Xu Rongrong was secretly surprised to see this.

It is really not easy to meet such a frank family in the capital.

As they were talking, Xu Liu came out of the east wing with this girl. She had met Madam Xiao before, so she came over to greet her.

Having seen Xu Liu's character, Mrs. Xiao disdained to have a close friendship with her, so she said a few polite words and left with her daughter.

Xiao Ling'er waved her hands as she left: "Sister Xu, I'll come and play with you tonight."

Xu Rongrong smiled and nodded.

Not long after, the nun from the nunnery came over to serve the meal.

After Xu Rongrong finished eating, she returned to the west wing. Luo Shu, who had gone out to get information, had already returned:

"Miss, I've inquired and found out that only the Marquis' wife came to the Changxing Marquis's mansion this time. No one has seen the Marquis's son." "He must have come."

"Why are you so sure, Miss?"

"Madam wants to harm me, but she doesn't want to incur my father's wrath. The only way is to cause a scandal for me. However, I've been betrothed to Marquis Weiyuan. Looking around the capital, framing me or any other young master would be more trouble than it would cost my father. Only Wu Ping, the heir of Marquis Changxing, can offer him some comfort in the form of a title."

"Madam is so calculating!" Luo Shu was furious.

"At the Qixi Festival banquet, Wu Ping came and caused a scene in front of me. They were afraid that I would be wary, so they hid Wu Ping from view, waiting to strike me when necessary."

"Then what shall we do?"

"Tell your brother to go to the front wing and ask quietly. There are many people in that room, and it's easier to hide than in the elegant courtyard."

"Okay! I'll go right away." Luo Shu ran very fast, feeling aggrieved.

What kind of life had the young lady led in the past?! Although she wasn't beaten or scolded, the daughter of a wealthy family was starving, cold, and even afraid to breathe. Now that she has finally seen the light, she is still being plotted against.

Have the people in the Xu family’s hearts been eaten by dogs?

She ran so fast that she almost bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" She apologized and walked away without raising her head.

The man who was hit was wearing a coarse linen robe. He picked up the jade button that fell from her body with a serious look in his eyes.

……

Since they are here to pray for the late Empress Dowager, everyone needs to recite scriptures and attend classes in Shaohua Temple.

Time passed peacefully. During these two days, Xu Rongrong was either in her room or strolling around the neighborhood with Xiao Ling'er.

Because she was worried about Xu Liu's plot and didn't want to hurt innocent people, Xu Rongrong would not go out as soon as it got dark every day.

Xu Liu was quite quiet and looked no different from an ordinary woman praying for blessings.

At dinner the next day, Xu Liushi said, "We'll be leaving tomorrow morning. You two must pay close attention to the evening lessons. Opportunities like these to receive guidance from a master won't be many."

The Xu sisters nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Xu Rongrong returned to her room, changed into plain clothes, and went to the main hall in front with Luo Shu.

Just when he was halfway there, he saw Liu Ning'er, Xu Liu's maid, coming back with a lantern.

"Thank God, it's so good to see you." She grabbed Xu Rongrong's hand, "Madam has a headache. The medicine is in the carriage at the foot of the mountain. It will take an hour to go back and forth. If I leave, Madam will have no one to take care of her."

"Would you be willing to have Luo Shu help me make the trip, Miss?"

This was said right in her face. Xu Rongrong asked, "Where's the second sister? Isn't she staying with the lady?"

"The Second Miss has gotten separated from us, and I don't know where to find her for the time being. This is truly a terrible situation. I beg the Eldest Miss for help!"

After saying that, she knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Luo Shu held Xu Rongrong's hand and shook his head.

But Xu Rongrong said, "In that case, you should go down the mountain."

"Miss……!!"

"Go early and come back early, don't worry about me." Xu Rongrong patted the back of Luo Shu's hand to reassure her.

It is not advisable to guard against thieves for a thousand days, she was waiting for Xu Liu to make a move.
