Chapter 75

That night, Jiang Fuyue did not sleep peacefully.

She had many nightmares in bits and pieces, and she was always in a state of being half asleep and half awake.

Vaguely, it seemed as if someone was wiping the sweat off her face with thoughtful and meticulous movements.

It wasn't until she woke up from the nightmare again that she realized that it was already dawn outside.

Jingzhe and Guyu stayed by the bed all night. Jiang Fuyue didn't sleep well, and neither did they.

The two of them kept watch for the first half of the night and the other for the second half of the night, taking turns taking care of Jiang Fuyue.

Even so, when the two heard the noise coming from the bed curtain, they stood up quickly and stepped forward to open the bed curtain.

Seeing the obvious circle of black and blue under the eyes of these two people, Jiang Fuyue was slightly startled: "You..."

Guyu grinned: "I woke up in a hurry this morning and haven't had time to wash up yet. Madam, please don't laugh at us!"

Jingzhe also laughed.

Although what happened yesterday was shocking, there was no evidence, so the two of them tacitly ignored it and pretended as if nothing happened, not wanting to make Jiang Fuyue think too much.

Jiang Fuyue pursed her lips, and a warm current flowed through her heart.

Then, Jiang Fuyue changed her clothes and pulled up her hair as usual, while Jingzhe and Gu Yu continued to do their own things step by step, as if they didn't know anything.

No one mentioned what happened last night.

After breakfast, Jiang Fuyue suddenly said: "Prepare some things, let's go out of the city and go to Qingxu Temple."

Her mother's spiritual tablet is enshrined in Qingxu Temple.

She misses her a little.

Jingzhe nodded, said "yes", and went down to make arrangements.

Jiang Fuyue returned to the bedroom and changed into plain and elegant clothes.

She glanced sideways at Gu Yu and said, "Why don't you go back and freshen up right now? How can you go out like this?"

Regardless of your status, girls are all fond of beauty. How can this unkempt person be seen in public?

Gu Yu pouted, her eyes filled with accusations: "Why do you still dislike me..."

With that said, she turned around obediently and went back to her room. She quickly washed herself up and then returned to Jiang Fuyue.

At this time, Jingzhe had also prepared the things he would take with him later.

After Jingzhe also freshened up, the three masters and servants rode the carriage to Qingxu Temple.

Guyu and Jingzhe fell asleep almost as soon as they sat down.

Jiang Fuyue was thinking about something in her mind and didn't say anything.

Qingxu Temple is located outside the city. It is large in scale and extremely effective. Many officials and nobles in the capital like to go there to burn incense and pray for blessings, and many even enshrine the souls of their deceased relatives here.

Originally, her mother did not set up a memorial tablet here. I don’t know if Jiang Baisheng forgot to put it or didn’t want to put it. In short, there was never one.

Until she married into the Hou family three years ago, the first thing she did was to enshrine her mother's spiritual tablet in the main hall.

The carriage soon became a little bumpy. Jiang Fuyue opened the curtain and took a look outside, only to realize that they had left the city.

There were many merchants setting up simple stalls around the city gate, selling vegetables they grew or other things they cooked. Although it was still early in the morning, a lot of people had gathered and the sound was a bit noisy.

After walking forward for a while, it became quiet.

The carriage circled the mountain and walked for half an hour before finally stopping.

Jingzhe and Gu Yu were not asleep either. As soon as the carriage stopped, they struggled to open their eyes and followed Jiang Fuyue out of the car.

In front of you is the main entrance of Qingxu Temple.Jiang Fuyue walked straight to the main hall where the spirit tablet was enshrined, added sesame oil with her own hands, and then knelt down.

Jingzhe wanted to help her, but was pulled gently by Gu Yu. She had no choice but to follow Gu Yu out and stand outside the hall.

"Why are you pulling me?" Jingzhe frowned, "Madam didn't eat well or sleep well last night. How can I keep kneeling like this? How can I bear this body?"

Gu Yu rolled his eyes and slapped her on the shoulder without hesitation: "You are stupid! If you had gone over and pulled Madam up, it would be fine now, but Madam will still have to worry about it after she goes back. How long will it take to get over this hurdle?
It's better to just let Madam stay here for a while and think about it, then you can eat more and sleep soundly!At the worst, I can talk to Mrs. Lin when I go back and ask her to make more medicinal supplements! "

Jingzhe thought about it carefully and found it quite reasonable.

So she nodded and stood side by side with Gu Yu.

It was boring to stand around like this, so Gu Yu whispered: "Do you think Madam is really being..."

Guyu didn't say the rest of the words.

But Jingzhe had already understood what she meant: "Who knows... Aunt Shu is already looking for evidence. If she can find it, that's for sure. If she can't find it..."

Even if he couldn't find it, it still couldn't eliminate Jiang Fuyue's suspicion.

Gu Yu also thought of this, and immediately stamped his feet angrily: "Then Aunt Shu is really the one who told the girl nothing about anything. It's better now, this..."

Who would have thought that there is such a hidden secret behind this old incident!
But then again, if Madam was really killed, it would be better for them to know.

We can't let Madam keep her grievances in her mouth!
Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at each other and sighed.

-

Inside the hall.

Jiang Fuyue added some sesame oil, then knelt quietly, her eyes lowered, her long eyelashes covering the surging emotions in her eyes.

"——Mrs. Gu?" Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice sounded.

Before Jiang Fuyue could calm down the emotions in her eyes, she subconsciously looked up at the person coming and met his smiling eyes.

"Master Shen." Jiang Fuyue smiled a little reluctantly.

Touching the overwhelming sadness, Shen Chuan was slightly startled, and the smile in his eyes disappeared instantly.

He turned around and noticed that there was a spiritual tablet enshrined here.

"...I'm sorry." Shen Chuan pursed his thin lips.

"It's okay." Jiang Fuyue shook her head gently, her eyes falling on the spiritual tablet enshrined in front of her.

The two were silent for a while.

After a while, Jiang Fuyue breathed a sigh of relief and stood up on her knees.

After taking one last look at the spiritual throne, Jiang Fuyue turned to Shen Chuan: "Why are Master Shen here?"

When Shen Chuan met her gaze, he was startled again.

Now, she has calmed down all her emotions, and has returned to her former self, where she doesn't care about anything.

However, Shen Chuan was not an ordinary person. He quickly collected his thoughts and said with a smile: "I heard that the wishing tree in Qingxu Temple is very efficacious. I have nothing to do today, so I wanted to come over and have a look."

The two of them walked towards the outside of the palace while talking.

Jiang Fuyue said "Oh" and said, "Although it's not my first time here, I haven't seen it before. Has Master Shen seen it?"

"Not yet," the smile on Shen Chuan's face deepened, "If Mrs. Gu doesn't mind it, how about we go together?"

Thinking that there were people coming and going here, and it was inside a Taoist temple, no one would gossip, so Jiang Fuyue nodded and said "Okay."
