Huguo Temple is built on the mountainside. Just by the name, you can tell that it has an unusual origin. It was built by the royal family and has been built by the royal family. It has been changed over the years, and almost everyone knows the name of Huguo Temple.
It's just that ordinary people can't come in at all. Only officials from high-ranking families like the Cui family or officials above the fourth rank are qualified to come and offer incense.
Su Yu came with the Cui family.
The carriage came all the way to the foot of the mountain. The carriage could not go up the mountain road, so the eldest lady waited for the female family members to get off the carriage skillfully and change to a walking carriage.
Cui Ling didn't need to. He was walking with Baishan and the guards, so he could just exercise.
On the way, a sedan bearer slipped and almost fell Cui Yue, but fortunately, he was not in danger.
Cui Yue cursed all the way.
Standing outside the magnificent temple, Cui Yue was still muttering: "These bearers are vulgar and barbaric. They are not even as good as the horses in the palace. They almost threw me off. If they didn't have to offer incense, I would have killed them." Take him back and teach him a lesson."
"It's true that the Huguo Temple is built on the mountainside. Even if it is built on the mountainside, why can't we build a flat avenue? We have to build so many stone steps. If you are not an ordinary person, who can climb it?"
Cui Yue stopped blaming the sedan bearers and temples and the temples and stone steps. She never stopped.
At first, Su Yu sympathized with her for almost being injured, but later her ears were numb. She scolded her, it was good to have a place to vent such strong energy.
The eldest lady tapped Cui Yue's head gently and gently: "Shut up, if you keep talking, come back now."
Cui Yue: "..."
She looked at Cui Ling again, and not surprisingly, her brother also agreed with her mother's words.
They all bullied her.
When Cui Yue was sulking, Su Yu's voice was soft: "Cousin, don't be angry. Those bearers are used to being rough with their hands and feet. They don't do things carefully at all. They deserve to be scolded. It's just that they are angry and hurt their health. I have also fined them." , why should you suffer for other people’s mistakes?”
Su Yu's words were beautiful. Cui Yue felt a little more comfortable after hearing this. He glanced at her and muttered: "That's right."
The eldest lady looked at Su Yu twice.
Su Yanyun, this niece, is sensible, gentle and polite, has a measured approach and retreat, looks pretty, and speaks nicely.
It's a pity that my son doesn't like it.
Cui Ling cast his gaze over Su Yu the moment she opened her mouth. Sensing his subconscious reaction, he looked away as if nothing had happened.
Bai Shan was very close, and after noticing, he lowered his head and suppressed a smile.
No one except Baishan saw this change in Cui Ling's movements.
The eldest lady wanted to go to burn incense first. Cui Yue didn't like the smell inside and said she was wandering outside. Cui Ling also had something to do and had to leave for a while. In the end, only Su Yu accompanied her inside.
In the main hall, the two of them finished offering incense and knelt on the futon to pray.
The eldest lady slowly opened her eyes.
"In total, you are one year younger than Yue'er."
There was no one else in the treasure hall, so it was impossible to say this to the Buddha statue.
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, opened her eyes and looked at her, then quickly lowered her eyelashes: "Yes."
"Have your family arranged a marriage for you before coming to the house?"
Su Yu shook her head and said in a lonely voice: "My parents wanted to keep me for two more years, but unexpectedly I left suddenly, so we never got engaged."
The eldest lady thought thoughtfully: "Is that so?"
Su Yu smelled something unusual in her words: "Madam?"
The eldest lady came back to her senses, and her eyes on Su Yu became kind: "Poor child."
Su Yu was startled for a moment, then her eyes filled with moisture, she lowered her head and said nothing.
The eldest lady was a little embarrassed for making someone cry, so she had to comfort her: "It's all over. From now on, you can live in the mansion with peace of mind."
Su Yu choked with sobs and nodded: "Fortunately, the eldest lady and my aunt took pity on me. I am very grateful."
"Good boy."
It's a pity that my son doesn't like it, and the eldest lady has this idea again.
After leaving the palace, the eldest lady wanted to listen to the abbot's lecture on Buddhism, leaving Su Yu to wander outside by herself, or to find Cui Yue.
Su Yu agreed, and when the eldest lady left, she wiped away the tears on her face and looked thoughtful.
Why do I feel that the eldest lady's words are a bit familiar?
The system remembers: [The eldest prince also asked similar questions last time. 】
Su Yu remembered: [It is indeed. 】
Last time the eldest prince asked her if she was married, he was interested in her and wanted to bring her into his palace.
The eldest lady asked these questions for no reason. Could it be that she also fell in love with her?
The system was shocked: [Host, could it be that the male protagonist did something? 】
For example, the male protagonist has collapsed again and does not want to marry the female protagonist, but wants to marry the host instead. He begs the eldest lady to come and help him find out.
Su Yu trembled: [Impossible. 】
In the original plot, the eldest lady was a staunch heroine, how could she change her mind so quickly.
Besides, the task progress bar is still bouncing between thirty-five and forty. According to Su Yu's experience, even if the hero is going to collapse, it won't be at this time.
The system also found the idea untenable.
Or maybe they were overthinking it, and the eldest lady just asked casually, without any other meaning.
This is the only reason that can be explained.
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and once again prayed in her heart that the mission would go well.
Standing there and looking around, Su Yu found a reason to send Zitong away and started shopping by herself.
This Huguo Temple is built halfway up the mountain, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, fresh air, and the lingering sound of the ancient temple bells. There are few people coming, and it is exceptionally clean. It is indeed a good place to pray for blessings and enjoy the scenery.
The dignitaries know how to enjoy it.
Su Yu chose a direction at random, admiring the scenery while talking to the system.
[Suddenly I felt that the mission world was quite good. 】
System reminder: [That is because the host has not encountered a harsh mission world, such as the apocalyptic plane, where the zombies can scare you unconscious. 】
The system carefully posted a picture. The body was covered in rotten flesh, the joints were twisted, and the mouth was full of blood and unchewed meat residue.
Su Yu: [……]
Get out of here, you little bitch with no wink.
Coincidentally, Su Yu saw the male protagonist not long after leaving.
Under a huge pine tree, Cui Ling stood opposite another man in mysterious clothes.
From Su Yu's perspective, only the profiles of the two people could be seen.
The man in black clothes had a handsome profile and a calm expression. He didn't know what he said, but he patted Cui Ling on the shoulder with a smile.
Suddenly, he seemed to notice someone peeking, and his eyes suddenly shot towards Su Yu.
Su Yu was so frightened that she trembled.
The next second, a masked man in black appeared next to her, and he was about to slash at her with a knife.
"ah--"
Su Yu ran away in panic.
But the man in black moved faster and ducked behind her in the next moment. Su Yu couldn't avoid it, her eyes were frightened.
Cui Ling was attracted by the movement here and turned her eyes slightly.
In an instant, his pupils shrank and his voice was like thunder.
"stop!"
