Chapter 8 Someone is coming
No one spoke.

Under the peach blossom forest, on the roof, a handsome man with a romantic look on his face lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Li.

There was also something wicked in his smile, but it was unclear whether he was a friend or an enemy, and he was both good and evil.

Tong'er, who had been in a daze, couldn't help but ask back in confusion: "...Flower Fairy?"

This man was so handsome that he looked like a demon or an immortal, and his demeanor and grace were so dazzling that it was truly dazed.

Before Jiang Li could say anything, she heard a sudden noise of noise coming from outside. Jiang Li's heart trembled, and she looked up at the roof, only to find that the handsome young man on the roof was gone. Only the peach tree branches were swaying slightly, as if she had had a long sweet dream.

Tong'er was also surprised. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Am I dreaming?"

Jiang Li said, "It's not a dream, but now..." She listened to the voices getting closer and closer, and the corners of her mouth curled up. She didn't care about the doubts just now, and said, "Let's go to the Buddhist temple and kneel down."

Tong'er was now surprised and puzzled by many things, so she didn't ask any more questions. She went to the Buddhist temple with Jiang Li and knelt in front of the clay Buddha. She also put the offering fruit back. As soon as the two of them knelt down, they heard a noisy voice coming from outside. Someone was banging on the door of the nunnery.

The knocking on the door startled the nuns in the nunnery. Someone went to open the door. The lanterns in the nunnery lit up one by one. The voices outside became louder and louder. Jiang Li calmed down and knelt with Tong'er.

Suddenly, someone rushed into the temple, led by a nun holding a lantern. She didn't seem to expect that there would be two people kneeling in the temple. After all, it was so late. She said to the back: "Madam, there are two nuns here."

A group of people came forward one after another from behind this person, including ladies and men, all dressed in rich clothes. The "madam" that the nanny called was a gentle woman with fair skin and a slim figure. When she came forward and saw Jiang Li, she was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said to the nanny: "She is not a nun, she still has long hair, and the one beside her is probably a maid."

Jiang Li looked at the group of people who broke in with surprise. She had long black hair, which made her face look even paler. Her thin body was wrapped in a gray robe. Her eyes were peaceful and calm. Although she looked weak, she looked even more beautiful and innocent under the Bodhisattva's seat. She looked very gentle and pure, which made people easily like her.

Perhaps out of pity for her young age, the lady even softened her voice when speaking to her, and asked softly, "Little girl, why are you here so late?"

Jiang Li said: "I made a mistake, and the nun asked me to kneel here and meditate."

The men and women who came were all very surprised. Some people said angrily: "It's so late. What did they do to force a little girl to kneel in the temple? What if she gets hurt? Aren't monks supposed to be compassionate? How can they be so vicious!"

Tong'er's eyes rolled, and she became smart. She immediately put on a sad expression and said, "It was me. When I was serving vegetarian food to the young lady yesterday, I accidentally broke the plate. Master Jing'an told the young lady and me to kneel in the Buddhist hall." She wiped her tears again, "It's nothing for me, but our young lady, our young lady hasn't eaten for a whole day."

As soon as these words came out, these people immediately had angry and questioning expressions. Since they came to the temple to worship Buddha, these people were naturally "kind-hearted people". Seeing the little girl being bullied, they must be angry.

I only heard someone say: "No wonder, no wonder she would do such a shameful thing, she is clearly a vicious and evil nun."

"good."

Jiang Li looked around and didn't see any nuns in the nunnery, so she asked curiously, "Excuse me, where are the young masters in the nunnery?"

After saying this, the men and women in front of him all showed different expressions, as if they found it difficult to speak.

The gentle lady who spoke to Jiang Li at the beginning looked at Jiang Li and asked tentatively: "This girl doesn't seem to be from the nunnery." "My lady is the second lady of the Jiang family in Yanjing." Tong'er answered crisply.

"Jiang family?" Another young lady's eyes moved when she heard this and asked, "Is it the Jiang family of the Prime Minister Jiang Yuanbai?"

"That's right!" Tong'er answered affirmatively.

"How is this possible?" The young lady, who looked younger than Jiang Li, hesitated and said, "I only knew that the Jiang family had a third lady, Jiang Youyao, but I didn't know there was a second lady."

When the words "Second Miss Jiang" came out, the young ladies did not move, but the ladies had their own thoughts. Eight years ago, the Second Miss Jiang pushed the second wife of Lord Jiang and caused her miscarriage. Yanjing knew about it, but it was too long ago. Since then, it was heard that the Second Miss Jiang was sent to the family temple to be educated and disciplined. She had not returned to Beijing for many years and had not seen her, so naturally she could not remember her.

Didn't expect to see you here.

But the second Miss Jiang, Jiang Li, was not as vicious as the rumor said she would murder her younger brother's mother. She was kneeling in the Buddhist temple. How could she, looking so thin and docile, poison her mother? No one would believe it if I told them!

People are always more willing to believe what they see with their own eyes.

Jiang Li stared at the lady who spoke to her first, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Madam... is it Madam Liu from the residence of Master Liu of Chengdelang?"

The lady was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you recognize me, young lady?"

Jiang Li lowered her head, as if embarrassed, and smiled slightly, "Many years ago during the Peony Festival, Madam came to your house to admire the peonies. I still remember it."

Madam Liu thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "Yes." She looked at Jiang Li with a softer gaze, "It's amazing that you still remember it."

Madam Liu, the wife of Chengde Lang Liu Yuanfeng, was very close to Jiang Li's mother Ye Zhenzhen. When Ye Zhenzhen first married to Yanjing City, she had a lot of contact with Madam Liu. Later, Ye Zhenzhen passed away, leaving Jiang Li behind. Madam Liu often visited Jiang Li because she missed her good friend.

But after Ji Shuran came into the family, Madam Liu could no longer visit Jiang Li, and their relationship gradually faded. The Peony Festival that Jiang Li mentioned should be the last time Madam Liu saw Jiang Li. Now that Jiang Li brought it up, Madam Liu immediately thought of her good friend Ye Zhenzhen who had passed away early.

Madam Liu carefully looked at Jiang Li in front of her. She didn't know if she felt a little guilty towards her good friend. Madam Liu looked at the girl in front of her and felt more friendly and gentle. She asked, "Did Lord Jiang send you here?"

Jiang Li nodded slightly.

"You are the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family in Yanjing City, and the biological daughter of Lord Jiang. How can you live in such a place? It's the low tide in early summer, and you have to kneel all night long. What if you get sick? It's obvious that someone is deliberately making things difficult for you. Second Miss Jiang, come back to Yanjing with me tomorrow." Madam Liu suddenly said.

Tong'er's eyes lit up as she knelt on the ground. Madam Liu's words meant that she wanted to help Jiang Li. Jiang Li had been abandoned in Qingcheng Mountain for so many years, and no one cared about her and she was forgotten. Now Madam Liu was at least the wife of an official. Madam Liu said something. Even if it was nothing now, she would say a few more words to the ladies when she returned to Yanjing. It was hard to guarantee that it would not be heard by Jiang Yuanbai, and Jiang Yuanbai would naturally think of this daughter who was abandoned in a nunnery.

However, after Madam Liu finished speaking, she did not hear the answer she wanted. The girl in front of her raised her head and looked at her in surprise. She seemed to be happy for a moment, but immediately became hesitant. Then she shook her head firmly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam, but I'm afraid this won't work."
