The beloved is reborn as a substitute, and the tyrant begs for forgiveness every night.

Early the next morning, Jiang's mother sent someone to urge Xu Leyao.

When Zhu'er saw Cai'er arrive beside Jiang's mother, she immediately went to greet her with a smile.

"Sister Cai'er, my young lady just got up, please wait a little longer."

They say don’t hit someone with a smiling face.

Seeing Zhu'er's expression, Cai'er nodded shyly.

However, remembering her mother's instructions, she still earnestly gave her a word of advice.

"If Miss Vivi has no problem, it would be helpful for her to bring a couple more outfits."

Upon hearing this, Pearl narrowed her eyes slightly, pondering the deeper meaning behind her words.

"Sister Cai'er, is Madam planning to stay there for a while?"

Seeing that Zhu'er understood her subtle hint, Cai'er nodded slightly.

"The time for ancestral worship and inclusion in the family genealogy is approaching, and Madam does not wish for any further changes at this crucial moment."

After hearing these words, Zhu'er immediately went back and reported to Xu Leyao.

At this moment, Xu Leyao was doing her makeup.

He nodded upon hearing this.

"Then you can go and pack one or two more pieces of clothing."

Following Xu Leyao's instructions, Zhu'er quickly took out two more items from the wardrobe.

We already decided yesterday which clothes to bring.

Even the spare clothes were discussed in advance.

Even if you suddenly need to add more, there's no need to panic.

In no time at all, Xu Leyao had finished washing up.

When Xu Leyao went out, she saw Cai'er still waiting for her outside.

Xu Leyao raised her eyebrows slightly, a sense of understanding flashing through her mind.

It seems that Mother Jiang is really worried about her, which is why she specially asked Cai'er to keep an eye on her here.

However, Xu Leyao herself had no intention of not going, so she naturally had no reservations about it.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you to wait, Miss Cai'er."

Xu Leyao nodded slightly to her.

Seeing this, Cai'er felt a little frightened, but nodded calmly.

Before Xu Leyao, no master had ever treated her with such courtesy.

"Miss, Madam is already waiting. Shall we go over there first?"

Although she was asking for Xu Leyao's opinion, Cai'er was already leading the way.

Xu Leyao nodded and followed behind her, while Zhu'er followed behind Xu Leyao.

The three of them walked together toward the carriage parked at the side gate.

Inside the carriage parked outside the side gate, Jiang's mother would occasionally glance at the sky.

Although it was still early, Jiang's mother hoped to get there as soon as possible.

After all, the journey to the temple wasn't exactly peaceful.

There are always some thugs who, seeing those extravagant carriages, will have thoughts of robbing them.

Thinking about this, Jiang's mother glanced at the other maid standing beside her.

She originally wanted to have the maid urge Xu Leyao again.

However, just as she peeked out, she saw Cai'er leading Xu Leyao over.

This saved her some trouble.

Xu Leyao got into the carriage behind, instead of riding in the same carriage as Jiang's mother.

This was something that had been agreed upon beforehand.

The Jiang family's carriage, with its understated decorations, swayed and wobbled as it headed towards the White Horse Temple.

Xu Leyao was still resting with her eyes closed inside the carriage, while Zhu'er kept looking at the scenery outside.

"Miss, does Madam really intend for you to stay at the White Horse Temple for a few days?"

Pearl couldn't help but ask, her curiosity piqued.

Hearing her voice, Xu Leyao opened her eyes.

She nodded, understanding and agreeing with Jiang's mother's thoughts.

"These past few days have been quite restless, so it's good to hide in the temple for a couple of days."

Upon receiving Xu Leyao's reply, a hint of resentment flashed in Zhu'er's eyes.

"If that scoundrel hadn't pretended to be a master, why would Miss have had to hide in a temple?"

Seeing her like this, Xu Leyao frowned slightly.

"Pearl, you've only just begun to understand some things these past two days, and you're already getting carried away?"

Upon hearing Xu Leyao's words, Zhu'er was taken aback.

Then she fell silent.

Xu Leyao ignored her and simply closed her eyes to rest.

Pearl suddenly realized how wronged she was by what she was saying.

The first thing Xu Leyao taught her was to keep her emotions in check and not let others know what was on her mind.

In the past few days, Pearl had been doing an excellent job.

That's why she received praise from Xu Leyao.

But today, Xu Leyao scolded her for this.

At this moment, what aroused Pearl's heart was not resentment, but fear.

Xu Leyao had already told her this before.

Zhu'er's personality was not suitable for entering the palace, but because of her own request, Xu Leyao taught her carefully.

Under Xu Leyao's careful guidance, Zhu'er has also made considerable progress.

This applies to everything, whether it's dealing with people or anything else.

Therefore, Zhu'er has become less strict with herself these days.

But now, hearing Xu Leyao's blunt accusation, she finally came to her senses.

"Miss, it was my fault. Please punish me."

Xu Leyao opened her eyes to look at Zhu'er only after hearing her voice.

Seeing the look of guilt on Zhu'er's face, Xu Leyao nodded.

"It seems you understand the reason."

In response to her question, Pearl nodded.

Xu Leyao didn't ask her to explain why.

Judging from Pearl's behavior, she knew that Pearl truly knew she was wrong.

If that's the case, there's no need to fixate on one point.

Moreover, Pearl was just a little carried away by her pride.

In essence, it was still for her benefit.

Xu Leyao gave Zhu'er a deep look and said something meaningful.

"Pearl, you've been by my side for a while now, you should understand what I expect of you. I'll say it again: if you can meet my expectations, you will definitely be one of the people who accompany me to the palace in the future."

Upon hearing this, Pearl nodded, her expression serious.

"Miss, don't worry, I will definitely correct my mistakes."

Xu Leyao simply nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Although the carriage was not traveling fast, it arrived at Hakuba-ji Temple before midday.

After getting out of the car, Jiang's mother and Xu Leyao went into the temple to offer incense and make offerings to Buddha.

However, Xu Leyao was slightly stunned for a moment when she stood at the entrance of Baima Temple.

Jiang's mother looked at her with suspicion.

"Why don't you go in?"

When asked by Jiang's mother, Xu Leyao shook her head slightly.

It wasn't that she didn't want to go in, but rather that she felt she couldn't get in just now.

Perhaps this is the downside of being resurrected through possession!

Just as Xu Leyao was pondering how to deal with this sudden situation, the feeling she had just experienced disappeared.

Xu Leyao tried to take a step forward and enter the temple.

This time, nothing stood in her way.

It was at this moment that Xu Leyao finally felt relieved.

It seems that her body and soul have truly become one, which is why she is recognized by Buddhism.
