When Xu Junjun returned from the palace that day, she exchanged all the gold for silver notes on the way.

After returning to the Huo Mansion, Xu Junjun went back to her room to count the banknotes. Thinking about future plans, she personally sent all the banknotes out of the Huo Mansion and found an absolutely safe place to store them. Then she returned to the mansion and swaggered to Madam Huo's yard.

Unfortunately, as soon as she entered the yard, she ran into Huo Qiming who had just returned from the camp outside Beijing.

Seeing Xu Junjun, Huo Qiming put on a serious face and took a step forward, walking into the yard ahead of her.

Looking at his arrogant face, Xu Junjun became angry and chased after him. When Huo Qiming raised his leg to move forward, she aimed at his lower back and hit him hard.

Huo Qiming was caught off guard, stumbled, tripped on the door and almost fell down on the spot.

Holding the door, Huo Qiming quickly stabilized his body, turned around and glared at Xu Junjun, shouting:

"Xu Junjun, don't you have eyes?

Can’t you see someone in front of you?!”

"people?

who?

Is there anyone in front of me?

Why didn’t I see it?”

Xu Junjun spread her hands out provocatively and stared at him with wide eyes, with an arrogant expression on her face that said, "If you're brave enough, you can do it to me." This made Huo Qiming tighten and loosen his fists, and he wished he could kill her with one palm.

"Master, Madam, the old lady is waiting for you inside, please go in quickly."

When the situation became tense, Nanny Li walked out of the room and interrupted the two people's staring at each other.

Seeing the two people walking into the house one in front and one behind at a distance, Nanny Li sighed and followed them helplessly.

Mrs. Huo had heard the noise outside a long time ago. When she saw the two people coming in, she waved to Xu Junjun:

"Girl, come sit next to grandma."

"grandmother."

Xu Junjun approached enthusiastically and shook Mrs. Huo's arm, being very affectionate.

Huo Qiming knew that he was not entitled to such treatment, so after paying his respects, he picked up a random stool and sat down.

Madam Huo smiled and tapped Xu Junjun's eyebrows, then looked at Huo Qiming:

"Are your parents still in the camp?"

"Grandmother, Dad said he and Mom will be returning to the frontier soon. Before leaving, he wants to quickly train the new recruits, so he won't be back home for the next two days."

Mrs. Huo nodded:

“Okay, Grandma knows.

Tomorrow, grandma wants to go to Huguo Temple to burn incense.

Since your parents aren't coming back, you and Junjun should go with your grandmother."

"Yes, grandmother."

Huo Qiming nodded in agreement without even glancing at Xu Junjun.

Xu Junjun snorted coldly, turned away from the stupid dog, and smiled brightly at Mrs. Huo:

"Grandma, there are many pilgrims at Huguo Temple. Can we make it back on the same day we finish offering incense?"

Mrs. Huo patted the back of Xu Junjun's hand and said with a smile:

“If you can’t make it back in time, it’s okay to stay at Huguo Temple for one night.

The vegetarian food at Huguo Temple is quite good, and grandma is just the right person to take you, a greedy girl, to try it."

Xu Junjun's eyes lit up, and she shook Madam Huo and said yes repeatedly, making Madam Huo laugh heartily.

After the two of them excitedly decided on the time for departure tomorrow, Huo Qiming put down his teacup and stood up to say goodbye:

"Grandma, I will go and prepare the carriage for tomorrow's use.

Come back later to have dinner with you."

"Go."

Mrs. Huo waved her hand indifferently, and after Huo Qiming left, she looked at Xu Junjun and explained:

"Junjun, my grandmother is an old acquaintance of Master Liaochen of Huguo Temple.

After arriving at Huguo Temple tomorrow, Grandmother will ask the master to predict the fortunes of Feng'er and Yun'er for the next ten years."

The new emperor had just ascended the throne, but after he ascended the throne, he took drastic measures to clean up the court and kill the treacherous officials, which showed that he was an emperor who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes.

Since ancient times, serving an emperor is like serving a tiger. Although the Huo family helped the new emperor under Junjun's persuasion, Mrs. Huo was not sure that the new emperor would continue to use the Huo family.

If we can successfully meet Master Chen tomorrow, we can also ask him to point out a clear way forward for the Huo family.

Xu Junjun didn't know what Madam Huo was planning, but when she heard the well-known word "Liaochen", her face suddenly froze.

Niaoniao had seen this monk before, and he had specifically warned her to avoid him if she saw him.

Old Madam Huo dragged her to meet the person whom she had avoided in the past!

Must avoid!

"Ahem, grandma, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do tomorrow.

Why don't you let Huo... let your husband accompany you? I won't go tomorrow."

Mrs. Huo held her tightly:

"no.

If you have anything to postpone, you must go with your grandmother tomorrow."

In addition to praying for the safety of Huo Zhengfeng and his wife, Old Madam Huo also planned to let Master Lechen take a look at the fate between Junjun and Ming'er. If she didn't go, what would the master see?

Mrs. Huo was very determined. Xu Junjun begged her for a long time but she didn't change her mind. Finally, Xu Junjun had to agree to go with her tomorrow.

The next morning, Huo Qiming, wearing a dark brocade robe, rode on a horse, waiting for Madam Huo and Xu Junjun to leave the house.

It was a rare day that there was no snow. Xu Junjun, wearing a red cloak, helped Mrs. Huo out and together with Nanny Li got into the exquisite carriage with the Huo family crest carved on the front.

After everyone was seated, Huo Qiming stood beside the carriage, kicked his horse's belly, and led a team of guards to set off.

The carriage moved slowly for more than two hours, and everyone finally arrived at the Huguo Temple.

The Huguo Temple was very popular and attracted many pilgrims, so carriages were not allowed to proceed beyond the foot of the mountain.

However, the Huo family was an old friend of Master Liaochen, and they had the privilege of having a carriage that could enter the temple, so they slowly went up the mountain road until they entered the backyard of the Huguo Temple, where they finally stopped.

Xu Junjun lifted the curtain, glanced at the solemn and majestic Huguo Temple, and jumped out of the carriage first.

After getting off the carriage, she stamped her feet to loosen up her stiff limbs before turning back to help Mrs. Huo get off the carriage.

Huo Qiming dismounted, walked behind Old Madam Huo, followed their footsteps, and went to the courtyard to put their luggage, and then went to the front yard of the temple to burn incense.

After burning incense and donating money, Mrs. Huo led Xu Junjun and Huo Qiming to the Zen temple where Master Chen lived.

As they were getting closer and closer to Master Lechen's Zen room, Xu Junjun's heart beat faster and faster. Just before Mrs. Huo was about to step into the yard, Xu Junjun suddenly covered her stomach and cried out in pain.

"Oh, oh, grandma, I don't know what I ate this morning, but I have an upset stomach. You, Huo, and my husband should go see Master Chen first.

I'll be right back from the toilet."

After saying that, Xu Junjun didn't wait for Madam Huo to speak, and ran behind her as fast as she could.

“Junjun!

Junjun!

This girl..."

Mrs. Huo stamped her feet helplessly. Seeing that she had disappeared, she glared at Huo Qiming:

"Are you stupid? Your wife ran away, and you didn't try to stop her?"

Huo Qiming kept silent and glanced in the direction where Xu Junjun escaped, full of disgust.

He found that woman annoying just by looking at her, so it was just as well that she wasn't around.

"Grandma, there's no need to wait for her. Your grandson will accompany you to see Master Lechen."

Huo Qiming took a few steps forward and supported Mrs. Huo, his face full of indifference.

Old Madam Huo glared at him with disapproval, sighed deeply, and walked into the yard.

The leading monk took people to the outside of the meditation room and left. Old Madam Huo asked Nanny Li to wait for Xu Junjun outside, and she and Huo Qiming entered the meditation room.

The Zen room is clean and simple. A kind-hearted old man with white eyebrows is meditating with his eyes closed. There is a waft of Buddhist incense in front of him. When you look at him suddenly, you can see Buddha's light radiating from his body, which makes people dare not stare at him for long.

Mrs. Huo was filled with awe. She walked forward slowly with Huo Qiming and said respectfully:

"Master Liaochen."

The old man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes seemed to carry thousands of worlds, mysterious and difficult to discern.

He glanced at Huo Qiming beside Mrs. Huo, and saw the bloody smell lingering around him, then slowly turned to look at Mrs. Huo.

"Old lady, I haven't seen you for many years. I hope you are well."
