Faced with Xu Qingmo's ridicule, Xu Qingling was unusually not angry. Instead, she smiled: "My body is already weak, and it's not like my sister doesn't know it!"
Xu Qingmo didn't answer this question. How could a person who only sat in the yard all day long and didn't do much and didn't move much be in good health?
Marquis Ningyuan set up a longevity plaque in Qing'an Temple for the late Mrs. Xu. For this reason, they would also find time to come here during the holidays.
Xu Qingling didn't intend to come here to pray for blessings. Naturally, she wouldn't accompany Xu Qingmo and the others to burn incense and pray for blessings. After following them for a while, she said she wasn't feeling well and made an excuse to leave.
Although Xu Yanquan was a little unhappy, he didn't say much. Xu Qingmo knew Xu Qingling's plan very well, and naturally he would not stop him. However, as soon as Xu Qingling left, Qu Lian followed closely behind.
While Xu Qingling was going out today, he sent someone to deliver a message to Lin Shaoyang and asked him to come to Qing'an Temple.
It is the habit of most people to burn incense and pray for blessings during festivals, so their appointment here will not make others suspicious. Moreover, there is a young monk Xu Qingling is familiar with in Qing'an Temple who can help them arrange a private room.
When Xu Qingling walked to the backyard, Xiao Sengmi was already waiting there. When she saw him, she took him to the side room. Her movements were done in one go. Obviously this was not her first time here.
Qu Lian was hiding in the dark, far away for fear of being discovered. Just when she thought Xu Qingling was really just here to take a short rest, Lin Shaoyang and his boy came over.
Qu Lian saw Lin Shaoyang entering the wing, and her face was filled with disgust. Although she had known for a long time that these two people were flirting with each other, she never imagined that they were so bold that they dared to do such flirtatious things in the backyard of the temple!
Qu Lian couldn't bear to look at it, but Xu Qingmo had ordered her not to leave, so she could only squat there with a gloomy look on her face!
In the side room, as soon as Xu Qingling saw Lin Shaoyang, she trotted forward and threw herself into his arms: "Why did you come just now! I'm really worried about you!"
Lin Shaoyang looked down at Xu Qingling in his arms, with a bit of impatience in his eyes, but his words were still very gentle: "What do I have to worry about!"
"I heard the news that you were punished because of Xu Yanquan's incident. The Hou Mansion has kept our house under very strict supervision these days. I can't go anywhere, and I don't know how you are doing now, but I'm worried. !" Xu Qingling raised her head and looked at Lin Shaoyang, with even tears in her eyes.
Lin Shaoyang smiled: "That's my father, how could he kill me? As for you, I don't know how your body is. Are you feeling uncomfortable in any way recently?"
Xu Qingling shook her head, and then hugged Lin Shaoyang's waist tightly: "I'm fine, I just miss you too much. When I dream at night, I always dream about you, but there is no news about you."
Lin Shaoyang was still perfunctory: "Me too, I miss you very much, especially at night, when all my dreams are about you."
Xu Qingling was quite moved. She raised her head and took the initiative to kiss Lin Shaoyang's chin. He had been grounded by Lin Shangshu because of Xu Yanquan's affairs these days. He had been locked up in his house. He was not allowed to go anywhere. He read and wrote in his room every day. , I have long been extremely bored.
But this time, his father was really angry and refused to let him out at any cost. Today also happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he was allowed to go out to play, otherwise he would still have to study at home today.
Facing the few tasteless maids at home every day, Lin Shaoyang felt that the days had lost a lot of fun. After many days, now there was another woman who threw himself into his arms. How could he endure it for so many days? What about the accumulated loneliness?
A raging fire just bursts out in an instant!
The girls and boys who were standing outside were used to hearing the sounds coming from the wing. They just looked around very vigilantly and did not ignore any detail.
Xu Yanquan had some interactions with the abbot of the temple. After the prayer, he was invited to have tea. Xu Qingmo was left alone with nothing to do, so he took one or two maids to wander around the temple.
Autumn has entered, and the fragrance of osmanthus all over the mountains and plains is refreshing.
Xu Qingmo stood on the wall of the temple. The wind blowing in front of him had already brought a hint of chill. He thought this winter would be a cold one.
Not long after, Qu Lian came back. She jogged back, and when she walked to Xu Qingmo, her face was filled with disgust: "Girl, Lin Shaoyang and the second girl are in the back room!"
"How long have you been in there?" Xu Qingmo didn't even raise his eyes.
"There is a stick of incense!" Qu Lian's eyes lit up, "Girl, do we want..."
Xu Qingmo looked back at Qu Lian and smiled helplessly: "What are you thinking about? Even if we catch what they are doing, what can we do? There are only a few of us. As long as they deny it, nothing will happen. And even if they are really discovered, in order to calm things down, the two families may just let them get married in the end, so that everyone can stop talking!"
Qu Lian was stunned, and asked after a long time: "Then why are we here today?"
"Just take a look and see what tricks Xu Qingling has up her sleeves!" Xu Qingmo looked coldly at the sweet-scented osmanthus not far away.
Qu Lian said nothing and just walked around.
When Xu Qingmo walked aimlessly to the back room of Qing'an Temple, he actually faced Lin Shaoyang who had just come out of the room. His eyes were full of spring and he looked satisfied. This kind of expression was what Xu Qingmo saw in the brothel. too much.
When Lin Shaoyang saw Xu Qingmo, he was not too surprised. He was just stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this the eldest girl of the Xu family?"
Xu Qingmo just glanced at Lin Shaoyang lightly, not taking him seriously at all. He passed by him and was about to leave, but he grabbed his hand.
Xu Qingmo twisted and shook off Lin Shaoyang's hand: "Master Lin, please respect yourself!"
Lin Shaoyang looked at his suddenly empty hand, a little disappointed, then slowly took back his hand and sneered: "Self-respect? Why didn't Miss Xu have any self-respect when she broke into my backyard?"
Xu Qingmo took the handkerchief that Qu Lian handed over, wiped his hands gently, and then said: "Looking at Mr. Lin's appearance, he must have already met my sister. I wonder when Mr. Lin plans to come to propose marriage. ?”
