Chapter 152 She had dealings with Prince Jing
"I am fine."
Jiang Yuyue waved her hand, letting Jasmine help her walk forward, but her mind was filled with her conversation with Prince Jing.
Although she had long known that Prince Jing was exceptionally capable, seeing is believing, and today's confrontation gave Jiang Yuyue a real sense of it.
She had no prior dealings with Prince Jing, yet he was able to keep track of her every move. It seemed that even if Jiang Yuyue used every trick in the book, she probably wouldn't be able to escape Prince Jing's eyes.
Now, there's probably no other way but to trust him.
However, before handing over the items, Jiang Yuyue still needed to verify whether the massacre of her family was indeed committed by Prince Ning and whether Prince Jing was involved.
If Prince Jing's words today were a deliberate attempt to shift the blame, no matter how powerful he is, Jiang Yuyue would never risk her life to overcome the hatred of her family's annihilation and cooperate with him.
"Miss, are you really alright?"
Jasmine cautiously observed Jiang Yuyue's expression, noticing her grave look after coming out of the house, and was genuinely worried. "Could it be that you've encountered some trouble?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuyue's expression softened slightly, and she smiled gently, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something."
As the two were talking, they walked toward the temple gate. However, before they even reached the gate, Jiang Yuyue suddenly felt a chill on her head. Looking up, she saw dark clouds rolling in the sky, and a torrential downpour was about to envelop them. The two quickly went to take shelter under the eaves.
Seeing that the rain outside was getting heavier, Jasmine frowned. "Miss, I don't think this rain will stop anytime soon. The mountain road is already rugged and difficult to walk on, and now that it's raining, it's even more slippery. Miss is pregnant and can't take such risks. Why don't we rest here in the temple for a while?"
Although Jiang Yuyue was unwilling to linger here, she couldn't risk the child in her womb, so she had no choice but to agree to Jasmine's suggestion.
Upon seeing this, Jasmine immediately went to the monk who had led the way for them, "Master, please prepare a room for us."
The monk smiled slightly and nodded to the two of them again, "Please wait a moment, benefactors."
Before long, the monks had prepared the room and led Jiang Yuyue and Jasmine inside. Jiang Yuyue looked around. Although the room was small, it was clean and the mattresses were quite thick.
After the monks left, Jasmine noticed two vegetarian meals on the table and exclaimed with delight, "Miss, that master even prepared food for us! Let's eat while it's hot!"
Speaking of food, Jiang Yuyue suddenly realized that she and Jasmine hadn't had lunch yet, and she was actually quite hungry. But when she saw the dishes on the table, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Although Wanfu Temple is small, Jiang Yuyue often visited it when she was young and ate vegetarian meals there many times.
After several years, I never expected that the vegetarian meals at Wanfu Temple would be so much more abundant than before.
Even though this dish still doesn't contain any meat, its level of refinement is far beyond what ordinary vegetarian meals can match.
Could it be that because Prince Jing is staying here, the dishes have been upgraded?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuyue was no longer surprised and simply took it as benefiting from the presence of Prince Jing.
After finishing their meal, the two rested for a while, but the rain outside showed no signs of letting up. Jiang Yuyue had nothing else to do, so she and Jasmine enjoyed the rain together in the corridor to pass the time.
Just then, a commotion arose at the temple gate. Jiang Yuyue looked in the direction of the sound and was quite curious as to who would come to worship in such heavy rain. And there she saw a familiar figure.
"Grandma, be careful."
Pei Jingchuan helped an elderly woman with white hair carefully step over the threshold. "It's really bad weather. It suddenly started raining so hard halfway there. It seems we'll have to rest here tonight."
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
The kind-faced old woman he was helping was none other than Pei Jingchuan's grandmother, Madam Pei. "It seems she has a connection with Buddha, which is why she specially sent rain to keep us, grandmother and grandson, here today."
Hearing this, Pei Jingchuan forced a smile and said, "Grandmother is right."
Seeing Pei Jingchuan's appearance, Old Madam Pei sighed again, "I suppose you are still grieving over the matter of that girl from the Jiang family. You came here today specifically to pray for her, hoping that she can be reborn into a better life in the next life, and that you can get over it soon."
Jasmine naturally recognized Pei Jingchuan as well, but his spirits were far from normal; he appeared dejected and listless.
But remembering how his young mistress had rejected him repeatedly that day, and knowing that she was still alive, Jasmine immediately whispered, "Miss, it's General Pei and his men. Let's avoid them."
"Ah."
Jiang Yuyue responded and turned to leave with Jasmine. She really didn't expect to run into Pei Jingchuan in such a remote place. Could it be that he became suspicious of her after they bumped into each other at the lantern festival last time and deliberately followed her?
Wanfu Temple was small to begin with, and Pei Jingchuan looked up and saw Jiang Yuyue's back. Seeing this familiar figure, he was startled and instantly recognized the person he had been longing for.
It must be the moon! It must be the moon!
Unexpectedly, Yue'er was really not dead. Pei Jingchuan was overjoyed and almost took a step to catch up with her. However, thinking of her resolute attitude that day, and the fact that she had not shown herself for so long, probably because she did not want to see him, Pei Jingchuan immediately stopped.
"Jingchuan? What's wrong with you? Why are you so absent-minded?"
Seeing the unusual look on his face, Madam Pei couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with your body?"
"No."
Pei Jingchuan quickly smiled and explained, "My grandson is perfectly fine."
Seeing his answer, Madam Pei was somewhat relieved. "Then let's go in and pay our respects."
After that fleeting glimpse, Pei Jingchuan was restless. Although he accompanied his grandmother to offer incense, his mind was already wandering far, far away.
Although he was immersed in the joy of Yue'er surviving the ordeal, thinking of the veil on Jiang Yuyue's face and her pregnant figure, he couldn't help but think of the woman he had seen at the lantern festival that day.
Although he had only caught a glimpse of her from afar, Pei Jingchuan, with his exceptional eyesight, was certain he wouldn't mistake her. Just now, Jiang Yuyue's face looked exactly like the woman beside Prince Jing that day, and even the month of her pregnancy seemed identical.
Could it be... could it be that she really had some kind of connection with Prince Jing?
