Two people were discussing the topic of boys and girls here, when Ping'er came over.
"This slave has met the master and wishes to pay his respects to the young lady."
Ping'er came to the bedside and saluted Yang Wenxuan and Xie with a respectful expression.
Seeing Ping'er coming, Xie nodded shyly and retreated into the tent.
Yang Wenxuan cast his gaze on Ping'er and asked coldly: "If you're not serving your master in the room over there, what are you doing here?"
Ping'er said: "To tell you what I'm saying, it's like this. My wife said that she will go to the Lotus Temple outside the city tomorrow to burn incense and pray for Lady Songzi."
"Madam said that the Lady Songzi there is very effective and she will go there to ask for a son for me."
"I was specifically asked to ask the young lady if she would like to go burn incense together tomorrow as a sign of piety," Ping'er said.
Hearing this, Mrs. Xie raised the curtain again, "Master, I want to go tomorrow..."
Yang Wenxuan said: "We have to climb a mountain. Since you are pregnant, you'd better not get hurt."
Then, he greeted towards the door, "Die'er, come here."
Die'er quickly entered the house.
"What are your orders, sir?" she asked.
Yang Wenxuan said: "You pack up and go to the Lotus Temple outside the city with your wife tomorrow to pray for your master and young master and let the Bodhisattva bless their mother and son for their safety."
Die'er nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll go get ready now."
Yang Wenxuan warned again: "Remember, you have to kowtow a few more times and let the Bodhisattva bless you to give birth to a young master."
Die'er smiled, "Master, don't worry, even if you don't tell your slave, you will definitely kowtow a few more times."
"If the master has no other instructions, I will go down and prepare now."
Yang Wenxuan waved his hand, "Well, you two can go down."
Ping'er and Die'er went out together, and Yang Wenxuan and Xie were the only ones left in the room.
Ms. Xie snuggled into Yang Wenxuan's arms, stroking her belly with both hands. At this moment, happiness overflowed from her eyes.
The next day, just after dawn, Die'er carried a basket with offerings, followed Zhou and Ping'er out of the house, and took a carriage to the Lotus Temple outside the city.
"Master, didn't you say last night that you would rest at home and stay with me all day? Why are you going out again?" Ms. Xie took Yang Wenxuan's arm and asked coquettishly.
Yang Wenxuan's face was full of anxiety, but he still coaxed Mrs. Xie and said: "I really planned to spend the whole day with you, but just now the housekeeper came over. There was something unexpected at the shop, and I had to go over and deal with it."
"Okay then." Xie loosened his fingers.
"Then can you come back and have lunch with me? Die'er is not here today, and I feel so lonely..." she added.
Yang Wenxuan patted Ms. Xie's hand lightly: "I'll try my best. Okay, you stay in the room and I'll leave first."
Yang Wenxuan didn't come back until the sun was about to set.
Also missing were Zhou, Ping'er and Die'er.
Mrs. Xie started to get anxious. Lianhua Nunnery was not far away. It was perfectly fine to go and come back the same day.
Why haven't you come back yet? Do you want to rest at Lianhua Temple tonight?
And the master hasn't come back yet. I feel so lonely all day long.
After a while, rapid footsteps and voices suddenly came from the yard outside. It was Zhou and the others who were back.
Mrs. Xie quickly stood up and went to the window, just in time to see Ping'er and several other maids and servants coming in from the outside surrounded by Mrs. Zhou.
Everyone, including Zhou, looked panicked.
What's going on here?
When Xie was surprised, she didn't see Die'er in the crowd.
She wanted to go out and ask, but when she was about to open the door, she suddenly remembered Zhou's warning, and Xie returned to the house again.
Zhou was not allowed to leave the house, and she couldn't see the light now.
Wait until something happens, or wait until those servants leave, then ask yourself!
Mrs. Xie kept waiting in the room, and kept waiting. When the lights in the room were all on, Die'er didn't come back, and no one came to inform her.
Xie couldn't wait any longer, opened the door and walked out of the yard.
As soon as Mrs. Xie arrived at the door of Mrs. Zhou's house, Ping'er happened to come out with a basin in her hand.
"Miss Ping'er, Madam, have you rested?" Mrs. Xie quickly came over and asked Ping'er.
When Ping'er saw that the person coming was Ms. Xie, she turned her head and glanced at the room behind her, and then quickly pulled Ms. Xie aside.
"Why did you come out? Go back quickly. Madam will be angry when she sees you coming out." Ping'er whispered.
Mrs. Xie looked panicked and whispered: "Die'er hasn't come back yet, I'm worried about her..."
Ping'er frowned, "Forget about that girl Die'er, our wife almost lost her life today. She finally took a few mouthfuls of the requiem soup and lay down."
"Ah?" Xie's face was shocked.
"How could this happen? What happened? What about Die'er? Where is Die'er?" Xie asked in a low voice.
Ping'er frowned and said, "On our way back, we met a group of refugees who came out of nowhere."
"They are simply robbers and bandits. They not only robbed our things, but also molested our maids."
"Only one of our carriage drivers is a man, and the others are all women and maids. Because we are going to a place like a nunnery, it is not good if there are too many men there."
"In this way, we were shocked by them. In the chaos, Die'er didn't even know where he ran..."
"What?" Xie was even more stunned.
Her feet swayed a few times and she almost fell. Fortunately, Ping'er stretched out her hand to support Xie.
After Ms. Xie stood firm, she pushed Ping'er's hand away and said angrily: "In other words, you all came back and left Die'er alone at the foot of the mountain?"
Ping'er was startled for a moment and said: "We don't want to lose it either. We are really worried that the group of refugees will come again. We must protect my wife's safety first."
"Besides, madam knows that Die'er is the person you rely on most, young madam. When I came back, I heard that the master was not in the house early in the morning."
"Madam also specially sent two people to the shop to find the master, asking him to come back quickly to deal with this matter!" Ping'er said.
"Young Madam, you are pregnant now. For the sake of my little master, you should not be too anxious." Ping'er continued to advise.
"Let me take you back to the house first!"
Ping'er sent Mrs. Xie back to the house. When she asked Mrs. Xie whether she had eaten lunch or dinner today, Ping'er hurriedly went to tell the kitchen to prepare food for Mrs. Xie.
Ping'er stayed with Mr. Xie for a long time, urging her to eat the egg noodles.
Mrs. Xie also saw Ping'er's kindness, and her attitude towards Ping'er softened a lot. She sat there muttering alone.
"The master went out early in the morning, saying there was an emergency in the shop, and he hasn't come back until now."
"Madam was also frightened and lay down. What kind of day is this?"
