My wife wants a divorce; if she ruins my life, I'll leave.

The group arrived at Guangsheng Temple, first offering incense in the main hall, then chanting sutras with the monks, and finally adding lamp oil before they were done.

The second madam led everyone to the small courtyard for rest. It consisted of only three main rooms and two side rooms. Meng Ruohua and Song Xixuan chose one side room, leaving the main room for the two madams to stay in.

After resting for a while, Song Tian couldn't sit still any longer. She informed the Second Madam and went out for a stroll with Shen Yunlan.

Song Xixin watched their retreating figures with longing, then turned back to look at Meng Ruohua, but ultimately said nothing.

"Want to go out and have some fun?" Meng Ruohua asked.

"Sister-in-law, please rest. Don't worry about me. I haven't had enough rest either."

She had only visited Guang Sheng Temple a few years ago when her grandmother passed away. At that time, she was too young to understand and would not wander off, so she was unfamiliar with Guang Sheng Temple and dared not run around and cause trouble.

If Song Tian gets into trouble, the Second Madam will cover for her; if she gets into trouble herself, she will implicate her aunt.

Meng Ruohua got up and told Lin's mother to go and offer incense and pray to Buddha. She then instructed Yu Ye, "Go and see if Ming-ge has rested well. If he's alright, bring him over so we can go for a walk together."

Upon hearing this, Song Xi immediately beamed and said, "No need to trouble Sister Yuye, I'll go take a look."

After saying that, she ran out with light steps, a far cry from her usual calm and timid demeanor.

Before long, the siblings arrived hand in hand, standing gracefully at the door waiting for Meng Ruohua.

After informing the Second Madam, Meng Ruohua took her and her brother out.

It wasn't that Meng Ruohua was overly compassionate; she just wanted to go and have a look around too.

Since you've finally managed to get out of town, you should at least see some different scenery and change your mood.

Guangsheng Temple is a well-known temple in the surrounding area of ​​Beijing. It has more than ten halls and pavilions, as well as several scenic pavilions nearby, making it a popular place for pilgrims to visit.

Meng Ruohua was familiar with Guangsheng Temple. She simply followed behind Song Xi and her brother, strolling along, enjoying the warm winter sun, and lazily squinting at the distant mountains.

As we walked, we came to a forest of red leaves.

Even in the depths of winter, some resilient red leaves still cling to the branches, refusing to leave, while the fallen leaves on the ground remain unswept, forming a thick, vibrant red carpet that creates a unique scene in the cold winter.

Song Xi and Song Ming'an happily ran inside to select the finest fallen leaves, their laughter carrying far and wide.

Meng Ruohua shook her head and smiled; such simple and pure joy from her childhood was gone forever.

I strolled slowly to the pavilion next to me, leaned on the railing, and watched them run freely. I felt much more relaxed.

"We meet again." A man's voice came from behind.

Meng Ruohua smiled and slowly turned around, "How is Brother Yu?"

Yu Yan smiled and nodded, completely devoid of his usual coldness and ruthlessness, which drew frequent glances from Qi Sheng behind him.

He knew it! This was a minor matter at Guang Sheng Temple; there was no need for the commander to make the trip. But the commander insisted on handling it personally—it turns out he had another purpose!

Qi Sheng couldn't help but glance into the pavilion, but immediately attracted a glare from the commander, which startled him so much that he quickly lowered his head to examine the soil beneath his feet.

Well, it hasn't snowed yet this year, so the ground is quite dry; a little dust settles on the surface.

Yu Yan knew he shouldn't have shown up, but he couldn't help himself after hearing the news about her.

Let's just treat it as a chance encounter between ordinary friends!

Actually, there's not much to say, and nothing to say at all.

"Is Brother Yu on official business?" Meng Ruohua asked, because Yu Yan was wearing the flying fish uniform of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Yu Yan nodded. "Mm."

Seeing that he showed no sign of leaving, Meng Ruohua had no choice but to ask again, "Are you done?"

"It's done."

Qi Sheng, standing behind him, dared not look up, but in his heart he cursed the commander. How could anyone chat like that?

The atmosphere froze for a moment until a few bursts of laughter came from the side.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Song Tian and Shen Yunlan smiling and greeting Song Xi and Song Ming'an.

The pavilion where Meng Ruohua was located was right behind Song Xi and the other person, and one could see the situation inside the pavilion at a glance. Therefore, Shen Yunlan spotted the tall and elegant Yu Yan at a glance.

He was about 1.8 meters tall, rather thin but with a strong presence. His well-tailored clothes accentuated his slender waist, making him appear powerful and vigorous. A pure white carved jade ring hung from a two-inch wide belt around his waist.

His hair was neatly combed on top of his head and tied up with a simple white jade hair crown. His handsome face had two sword-like eyebrows that slanted into his temples, sharp eyes, a high nose bridge, and even his thin lips were very sexy.

Shen Yunlan was captivated by the man's handsome appearance without realizing it. Her limited vocabulary was insufficient to describe his good looks, and she could only shout in her heart, "So handsome! So handsome!"

Unlike a frail scholar like Song Chen'an, he exuded a strong sense of security simply by standing there.

This is practically the prince charming of her dreams!

If such a person were born in modern times, they would definitely be a superstar, the kind that's unattainable.

She was so engrossed in her fantasy that she momentarily forgot she was in ancient times.

At that moment, a small pebble rapidly magnified in her eyes. She was so terrified that she forgot to dodge until the pebble was about to hit her nose, at which point someone next to her suddenly pulled her back.

Song Chen'an was filled with anger, but he still dared not raise his voice to question him. He lowered his voice to make it sound somewhat intimidating, "Commander Yu, what do you mean by this?"

Yu Yan glanced at the two of them coldly, "If you can't control your own eyes, my Embroidered Uniform Guard doesn't mind helping you."

His sharp gaze swept over them, immediately causing the two to hold their breath in fright.

What a strong momentum!

Hearing his sarcasm and feeling overwhelmed by his imposing manner, Shen Yunlan's delicate face flushed red and then turned pale.

Only after Yu Yan calmed down did she slowly relax. Thinking about how she had been seen acting like a lovesick fool by everyone and even looked down upon by the person in question, she felt utterly humiliated!

But when the expressionless man spoke those solemn and ruthless words with his thin lips slightly parted, Shen Yunlan found his cold and awe-inspiring appearance even more captivating.

Although she felt ashamed, she came from a civilized society two thousand years in the future and had done countless embarrassing and shameful things. How could she be so easily discouraged by a simple sentence?

Moreover, he said he was a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

Embroidered spring knife, flying fish robe, mantis legs, wasp waist...

Wow... so he was wearing a flying fish costume, no wonder he looks so handsome.

I really want to get a closer look.

I don't want to see the clothes, I want to see the people!

Fortunately, she remembered her identity and didn't dare to go too far, only screaming in her heart: "The Embroidered Uniform Guard, it's the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

Shen Yunlan took a step forward, her eyes filled with anticipation, and asked, "What's your name?"

Looking at her infatuated gaze, Song Chen'an felt a pang of unease.

Aside from his status, what good is Yu Yan? He's just a dark-skinned, brute.

Moreover, although the Embroidered Uniform Guard was a fearsome entity, it was also an activity that was despised by many scholars.

Song Chen'an quickly shielded Shen Yunlan behind him, then glanced at Meng Ruohua in the pavilion, "Commander Yu, is there something you need from my wife?"

"You lowly wife? You're the lowly one!"

Meng Ruohua twitched her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Song Chen'an with a disdainful look, and ignored him.

However, considering that Yu Yan was usually quiet in front of outsiders, he coldly retorted, "It was just a chance encounter and a casual greeting. What do you think the Embroidered Uniform Guard wants from me?"

Yu Yan's indifferent gaze swept over Song Chen'an, then landed on Meng Ruohua. "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"

He gave her a deep look, then turned and left decisively, his resolute attitude leaving little room for other thoughts.
