When she learned that Gu Zhihua was not studying at home, but accompanied Shuhua and her son to the temple to burn incense, my aunt was furious.

"Why didn't you listen to this stupid boy? The bride was going to be married in six days. I told him to be patient during this period and not to meet his cousin first, so as not to be gossiped about. Why did he stick to it again?

Went somewhere?"

"And that kid Shuhua is also ignorant. He clearly knows that he has a special status and is in an embarrassing situation, so he should avoid suspicion, and yet he allows that bastard to follow him to burn incense. If someone with a heart sees this, he might make some weird remarks!

"

"No, we must call him back..."

Gu's mother immediately made a decision and asked the maid to call a servant at home and send him to the temple in the western suburbs of the county to bring Gu Zhihua back.

Finally, I did not forget to tell the servant: "... go through the back door and don't make any noise!"

The servant hitched up the carriage and opened the back door. He poked his head out and made sure everything was fine before pulling the carriage out. The far door was closed tightly behind him again.

"How come the Gu family is so sneaky about what they do?" In a hidden place not far away, Ping'er muttered in a low voice as she looked at the carriage going away.

Yang Ruoqing sneered: "Let's go, let's follow you and have a look."

Ping'er glanced at herself and Yang Ruoqing: "We can't catch up with the carriage with our feet..."

Yang Ruoqing smiled, "I've been prepared for a long time."

She then whistled, and a carriage ran out of the alley behind her. The driver was wearing a bamboo hat.

When the carriage arrived in front of the two of them, the driver raised his bamboo hat slightly, smiled at Yang Ruoqing and winked: "Get in the carriage."

"Okay!" Yang Ruoqing pulled Ping'er into the car.

Ping'er was relieved when she saw the face of the man under the bamboo hat. It was Luo Fengtang.

"Where to go?" Luo Fengtang asked after the two of them sat firmly in the carriage.

"Coachman, could you please keep up with the carriage in front of me?" Yang Ruoqing said seriously.

"Okay, ma'am, please sit down!"

Luo Fengtang gently raised his riding whip, and the carriage started steadily, following the Gu family's servant's carriage and moving forward.

In the carriage, Ping'er felt a little want to laugh while listening to the conversation between the two couples.

"You two are really funny," she said.

Unlike her and Zhou Sheng, who lived a rigid life.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "That's wrong. He was originally a boring person. I teased him, so he had no choice but to cooperate."

Ping'er said: "A man who is originally taciturn is willing to play with you, which shows that he cares about you."

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "He and I care about each other, there is no doubt about it."

There was some envy in Ping'er's eyes: "Woman, getting married is your second reincarnation. This is absolutely true. I don't dare to expect that Huahua can marry a good man like you who has no choice in every aspect. I just ask her to marry

Her husband-in-law sincerely wants to marry her, and he is not the kind to marry her with a purpose. I don't value her so much now."

Regarding these words, Yang Ruoqing didn't know how to comfort her.

Obviously, the Gu Zhihua that Huahua is about to marry does so with purpose and calculation, not sincerely.

Yang Ruoqing could only pat Ping'er's hand gently: "Don't think so much now, everything will settle down."

Luo Fengtang was very skillful in driving and tracking. He could not let the carriage in front notice him, but he could also maintain an appropriate distance so that the target vehicle ahead and the target person on the vehicle could always be locked in his line of sight.

In this way, the carriage followed the Gu family's servant's carriage all the way to the temple in the western suburbs of the county.

"Why did Mother Gu send her servants to this temple?"

Yang Ruoqing lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, a little suspicious.

"Have you ever been to this temple?" Ping'er asked.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Yes, most of the people who like to come to this temple to burn incense are female pilgrims nearby, because it is said that the most efficacious ones in this temple are Guanyin and Yuelao."

"There is no road ahead." Luo Fengtang reminded.

Yang Ruoqing responded, turned to Ping'er and said, "Let's leave Tang Yazi at the foot of the mountain to watch the carriage, and we will follow the servant into the temple."

Ping'er was a little hesitant. If she followed up this time and saw something she couldn't see, Huahua's marriage would probably be greatly changed.

But if she doesn't find out the truth, she won't let Huahua marry her with a dark look.

"good!"

The two of them followed the Gu family servant into the temple at a short distance.

There was an endless stream of pilgrims in the temple, and the servants were walking in front of them looking for them. Yang Ruoqing had never seen Gu Zhihua, so she kept a close eye on the servant so as not to lose her.

Ping'er looked around the crowd, looking for Gu Zhihua.

After twists and turns, I searched for several halls with no results. The servants were still walking aimlessly in front of them, scratching their heads and ears anxiously.

"This is also a servant who has no ability at all." Yang Ruoqing thought to herself.

Looking around, he saw a young woman hurrying towards the back of the temple. When she turned the corner, she only caught a glimpse of a red skirt.

Yang Ruoqing was a little surprised. The woman wearing red and green must be a pilgrim. Most pilgrims who come to the temple should linger in the hall and should not go to the back of the temple.

There is a mountain behind the temple and it is very remote. Even if someone's eldest daughter or daughter-in-law comes to relieve herself or something, she should have a companion by her side.

But the woman walking alone and in a hurry must be strange.

"Oops, I lost track of that servant. I can't find that servant..."

Ping'er looked around and found that the servant was missing.

Yang Ruoqing said: "I wasn't staring at him just now, I was looking elsewhere."

Ping'er said: "Then what should we do next?"

Yang Ruoqing pointed to the front: "I just saw someone wearing red and green going over there. Could it be that cousin Shuhua?"

Ping'er made a quick decision: "Let's take a look!"

The two of them quickly followed and found a half-old arch with hanging flowers behind it. Outside the arch was a small bamboo forest.

There are locks and chains hanging on the arch. The lock is open and there are several words written on the arch.

"Behind this should be the mountainous area that the temple opened up for growing vegetables."

Yang Ruoqing said, casually tearing apart the chain and lock, and the two of them slipped into the bamboo forest silently.

It was very quiet in the bamboo forest, which was in sharp contrast to the bustle in the temple in front. The bamboo leaves withered and fell to the ground, like a thick soft cushion.

Walking in it, it is soft and comfortable. Occasionally, winter bamboo shoots break out of the ground, and a winding path winds and stretches among the bamboo forests.

The two came to the end of the road and saw an octagonal pavilion.

A man and a woman are hugging each other tightly in the pavilion.

The man was tall and slender, wearing a blue straight robe, a black cape on his shoulders, and his dark hair was pulled high. He was handsome and elegant.

The woman was dressed in red, her hair was cloudy, she was skillfully applying makeup, and she was leaning in the man's arms and timidly. Isn't she the same woman Yang Ruoqing saw earlier!

"Ping'er..."

Yang Ruoqing softly called the person next to her, but there was no response.
