Seeing this, Gulin's face darkened instantly, and his cold eyes fixed on the robe draped over Xu Rui, his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Lin Rouyu, who got off the carriage from behind, just heard Xu Rui's words. Her face froze suddenly, and the next second she burst into a violent cough.

"Girl." Shuye walked forward worriedly and patted Lin Rouyu's back gently.

Hearing the cough, they all turned around to look at Lin Rouyu.

There was an ambiguous smile on Gulin's lips.

"Marquis Yonglin, you are truly blessed. This blessing of having two wives is truly something I envy."

Xu Rui ignored her and looked at Lin Rouyu with a frown.

Lin Rouyu now seems to be a burden to Xu Rui, but this burden cannot be gotten rid of for the time being.

Lin Rouyu felt Xu Rui's gaze and looked up with tears in her eyes, but when she saw the slight disgust in Xu Rui's eyes, she was stunned.

He walked over sadly, holding his chest. When he saw the outer robe on Xu Rui, he almost crumpled the handkerchief in his hand.

Xu Rui withdrew his gaze without even glancing at Lin Rouyu.

He turned his gaze towards Gulin, his face already dampened by emotion, and he changed the subject expressionlessly, "I received a letter from Master Wuming and came here to unveil the Buddha statue. I didn't expect to meet His Majesty here."

Gulin said calmly, "What a coincidence! This is why I came here as well."

Xu Rui was stunned for a few seconds. He didn't expect that Master Wuming also invited Gulin. But when he thought about the close relationship between Master Wuming and Gulin, it was expected that Gulin would be invited.

"Let's go together."

Gulin said this and walked to the front first.

Xu Rui and Jiang Xiyu also stepped forward, while Lin Rouyu, who was ignored, walked to the back.

I don’t know if everyone knows today that the golden statue in Lanruo Temple has been successfully reshaped, and there are a lot more pilgrims than before.

Coupled with their outstanding appearance and temperament, they quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"The people in front are so good-looking, they seem to be gods."

"She's more beautiful than a god. This is the first time I've seen someone so beautiful."

"Especially the woman in the middle, she is more beautiful than a peony."

"That's not the case, especially that woman and the man in front. They look so well-matched, like a perfect couple."

Gulin, who was walking in front, heard the words of these pilgrims. Gulin, who usually kept a calm face, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and deliberately slowed down his pace.

Xu Rui's face was as black as ink.

Are these people blind? It was clearly her and Jiang Xiyu walking side by side, so why did they describe Jiang Xiyu and Gulin in front as a fairy couple? If anyone should be praised, it should be him and Jiang Xiyu.

As if to prove something, Xu Rui reached out and grabbed Jiang Xiyu's waist.

Jiang Xiyu, who had been walking without paying attention, was so scared that her face changed drastically. She looked up and saw that it was Xu Rui's hand. She frowned slightly, her eyes full of disgust, and she subconsciously avoided it.

Unexpectedly, Xu Rui seemed to know that she was trying to hide, and he leaned closer, "Why are you hiding? Do you want others to misunderstand you and the King of Qin?"

Jiang Xiyu did hear what was said just now, but she did not take it seriously. However, considering that she is a married woman now, it is really not good to cause misunderstanding, as it would be bad for her reputation.

After weighing the pros and cons of enduring Xu Rui and her reputation, Jiang Xiyu stopped struggling and let Xu Rui put his arm around her waist.

Xu Rui's voice was loud, and Gulin in front also heard it. He didn't turn around, but his face no longer had the cheerfulness just now.

Lin Rouyu watched their intimate actions from behind, especially when she saw Xu Rui actively hugging Jiang Xiyu's waist, her face turned blue with anger.

His eyes were staring fiercely at Jiang Xiyu's back, as if he wanted to stare a hole in it.

Jiang Xiyu felt the gazes from behind, and the nausea she had felt when Xu Rui hugged her waist suddenly dissipated a lot. She also deliberately leaned towards Xu Rui, which made Xu Rui even happier.

Lin Rouyu was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth.

This bitch actually took the initiative to seduce Brother Rui. She is so shameless. If it wasn't in public, she would never let her succeed.

After they walked a few steps, they saw the nameless master waiting for them outside the hall not far away.

Seeing them coming together, Master Wuming stepped forward and bowed, "Amitabha."

Gulin, Xu Rui and the others quickly returned the greeting, "Master."

Master Wuming bowed to Xu Rui and Jiang Xiyu with gratitude, "Amitabha, thank you two for rebuilding the Buddha's golden body."

Xu Rui returned the greeting, "It's my duty. Thanks to the Buddha's blessing, I was able to return safely from the border."

Jiang Xiyu also returned the greeting, "When I was enlightened by the Buddha, I promised to rebuild his golden body, and it is my duty."

Master Wuming bowed to them and said, "Everything is ready. Please follow me to unveil the ceremony."

Master Wuming led Gulin and the others into the main hall.

At this time, the main hall was full of pilgrims.

There was a canopy in front that was two bars high and covered with red cloth.

When they walked in, the pilgrims automatically made way for them.

Walking to the red cloth, Master Wuming took a long incense stick, and the others followed suit and took incense sticks. They offered incense to the Buddha in turn before the unveiling ceremony began.

Gulin, Xu Rui, Jiang Xiyu and Master Wuming each pinched a corner of the red silk and unveiled the Buddha statue.

The red silk slid down, and the golden Buddha statue instantly dazzled everyone's eyes. The pilgrims couldn't help but talk about it.

"Wow, it's so golden. This golden statue cost a lot of money to build."

"That's right. I heard that this money was donated by the Yonglin Marquis and his wife. Master Wuming also invited them to come and unveil it today."

"It's true. I heard that not long ago, when the news of Marquis Yonglin's death arrived, his wife came to Lanruo Temple to pray to the Buddha. Unexpectedly, the Buddha actually appeared and said that Marquis Yonglin would return to the capital soon. His wife said she wanted to rebuild the Buddha's golden body. Unexpectedly, not long after, Marquis Yonglin actually returned alive."

"You said that Marquis Yonglin was able to return alive because his wife prayed to the Buddha, and that Marquis Yonglin was able to return alive because of the Buddha's blessing."

"That must be because of the Buddha's blessing. Go and worship the Buddha."

The pilgrims rushed forward, all vying to burn incense to the Buddha and pray to him.

Some pilgrims even surrounded Jiang Xiyu and asked, "Madam, were you truly enlightened by the Buddha?"

Jiang Xiyu nodded seriously.

"Of course, I won't lie in front of the Buddha. If it weren't for the Buddha's enlightenment, how would I know that my husband is not dead and will return to the capital soon? At that time, even the emperor thought my husband had died in battle."

Jiang Xiyu's serious explanation was not only for the pilgrims, but also for Xu Rui.

She knew that Xu Rui still doubted what she said about being enlightened by the Buddha.
