In the secluded area behind the Thousand Buddhas Temple, several young men dressed in monks' clothes were sneaking around in the forest.
After a lot of tossing in the mountains, my clothes and trousers were ripped open by the vines in the mountains, and I finally found the small bamboo house in the forest.
"It's here, it must be here."
"I want to see what that fairy looks like. She can actually charm the monks of Thousand Buddhas Temple."
"Buddha still knows how to save people. I don't even think about other women staying overnight in the temple, but he took in the most beautiful one."
"I wonder if the fairies here are as good at poetry as those who were famous in Yangzhou City before?"
Several people were so excited that their faces were red and their necks were thick. When they finally walked to the window to see if there was anyone inside, a monk stopped in front of them and opened his arms: "Several donors, this is not the place where Thousand Buddha Temple entertains guests." Please leave quickly."
How could they easily leave the place they found after struggling for a long time?
"Who said this is the territory of your Thousand Buddhas Temple?"
"That's right, this place is obviously a barren mountain. You monk, you must be too lenient."
The monk said calmly: "You and I know the purpose of these people coming here. Please don't embarrass me."
"Who knows this? Is there something wrong with you? Why is there a woman hidden in a monk's temple and not allowed to be seen?"
"That's right, I am a compassionate Buddha on the face, and I won't do some shameful things behind my back, right?"
"If you don't have any worries, just let us take a look."
"Please all donors leave quickly."
"What, do you still want to hit someone?"
The noise outside spread to the hut, Jian Niang closed the window and frowned lightly.
Sitting in front of him was the presiding master of Thousand Buddha Temple, his eyes half-closed, his head lowered, looking a little sad.
"The donor has also heard that the Thousand Buddhas Temple has become more and more lively because of the donor's affairs. Not only have outsiders sneaked in, but even the young disciples in the temple have become a little restless. If this continues, the donor is afraid that there will be danger."
Jian Niang also lowered her head, and across a table, she gently rubbed her belly.
The master host is right, there is indeed danger in staying here.
But where can it be absolutely safe?
Compared to going elsewhere, Jian Niang felt that it would be safer to stay here.
At least the host master is a kind person and can do his best to take care of it.
"Master, you promised Sister Qin that you would take care of me and ensure that my child was born safely. If I leave and Sister Qin comes back to hold me accountable, what will you do, Master?"
"Hey!" The master in charge sighed heavily, "It is related to the reputation of Qianfo Temple. Even if the old monk cannot explain to Miss Qin, he still has to..."
"Master, do you mean that I must leave?"
"The old monk will find a lay disciple at the foot of the mountain and ask him to take care of the donor."
"Master, can you guarantee that this lay disciple will be as open-minded as the master?"
The host was silent.
If it were anyone else, the master would have guaranteed it without hesitation.
But if it’s Jane Jane…
Even people who have ordained or become monks cannot exercise restraint, let alone lay disciples?
"Since the master cannot properly accommodate me and the child, I will not leave."
Jian Niang blushed. She was not a shameless person, but in order for her child to be born safely, she would have stayed at Thousand Buddha Temple.
Hearing about the children, the host also had a headache.
Do you think it was true that on the day the child was born, a group of monks delivered the baby to a woman? How could this spread?
Or it would be outrageous to invite a midwife to come to the temple.
The presiding master was a little overwhelmed and started chanting sutras with his eyes closed.
This shows how annoying this is.
The key point is that Mother Jian was sent by Qin Huairou and cannot be dealt with properly. When Qin Huairou comes back, it is not impossible to kill all the people in Qianfo Temple once she gets angry.
The presiding master was chanting sutras, and suddenly there was the sound of fighting outside.
In order to ensure the safety of Jian Niang, the martial arts monks sent by Qianfo Temple were not bad, and the few ordinary people who sneaked over were not enough to fight.
Three times, five times and two times, he was beaten all over the mountain, shouting that he wanted to spread the shameless behavior of Qianfo Temple to the world.
A group of people were beaten away. The monk outside put his hands together, took a deep breath, and recited Amitabha.
But when he opened his eyes again, he found two more people in front of him.
One male and one female.
It's just that this man is a little too burly and scary to look at.
"You two, this is not the place where Thousand Buddhas Temple entertains guests. Please leave quickly."
"That's my wife inside. I'm here to take her home." Lin Wanjie said calmly, just saying "my wife", which made the eldest lady next to her feel a little weird and gave Lin Wanjie a deep look.
The monk shook his head, looking helpless, and took a step forward, apparently intending to use force to warn the visitor.
It's just that he is facing Lin Wanjie, no longer the ordinary person he could deal with at will.
Lin Wanjie lifted him up with only one hand. No matter how hard the other person struggled, it was of no use.
A shout was soon heard in the back room: "Master, Master, someone has broken in!"
The presiding master was startled, the sound of chanting was interrupted, and he stood up.
Jian Niang was also a little nervous and stood up to find a place to hide.
But the next second, a familiar voice came from outside: "Second Madam, it's me."
"Lin Da?"
Jian Niang's beautiful eyes flashed, and she subconsciously rushed out of the house.
But after taking two steps, his feet stopped.
Only then did Jian Niang remember that she should be full of resentment towards this idiot.
During these days, has he taken care of himself at all?
I obviously hated him to death, but why did the excitement and excitement in my heart instantly wash away the resentment when I heard his voice?
Jian Niang controlled the excitement in her heart and hesitated where to hide.
Before I could think clearly, I heard a bang and the door was kicked open. Lin Wanjie stood at the door holding a person, looking right at Jian Niang.
The presiding master was frightened when he saw Lin Wanjie carrying the monk in the temple as easily as he was carrying a chicken.
Lin Wanjie said directly: "This is my wife."
The eldest lady also stepped forward and said, "Sister, you know Mr. Lin's temperament. He insists on coming to see you."
At this time, Jian Niang could only sigh and said to the master in charge: "Master, if you can excuse me, please leave it to me."
Lin Wanjie took the initiative to let the person go.
The monk stood firm, looked at the host in surprise, and when he saw the host wink, he also stepped away.
Lin Wanjie closed the door and looked at the restless Jian Niang. He didn't speak immediately, and finally his eyes stayed on her belly.
Jian Niang's belly was high, like a hill, and Jian Niang's complexion was not very good either.
She should have been more beautiful and stunning.
Lin Wanjie frowned and put his hand on the table: "Second Madam, you have suffered."
The sound of "suffering" instantly reminded Jian Niang of her hard work and fear these days. Tears instantly burst out of her eyes. She ignored Lin Wanjie's hands and covered her face with both hands, silently expressing her grievances.
Lin Wanjie stood up, came behind Jian Niang, hugged the trembling body from behind, held her in her arms, and said seriously: "Go home."
Jian Niang twisted her body, struggling and refusing.
But Lin Wanjie insisted: "No matter what grievances you have, let's go home first."
"Yeah, go home."
The eldest lady also added.
"Even if it's not for yourself, it's for the sake of the child. This is a temple after all, and no woman gives birth in a temple. And you also know Lin Da's medical skills, so you can rest assured when he is here."
Children will always be Jane's life. As long as it is for the good of her children, any principle can be broken.
The conversation with the host master just now made her worried, but she had no better place to go, so she had to stay here.
Now, Linda is here, and so is her sister.
A place with them is definitely the best place for children.
Jian Niang never thought of forgiving Lin Wanjie, but for the sake of her child's safety, what did her resentment count for?
"I...I can go back, but, Lin Da can't just come and disturb..."
"Okay!" Lin Wanjie didn't talk nonsense. He also wanted to give his child a good place to go. As for making up for the second wife, as long as they lived under the same roof, there would be plenty of opportunities.
The eldest lady also said: "Don't worry, Mrs. Lin is very busy now and doesn't have much time at home. Even if you want to see her, it's rare to see her."
"Busy, what are you busy with?"
Jian Niang couldn't control her curiosity. She would instinctively care about Lin Wanjie and want to know everything about him. After all, he was the father of the child.
"What else can I be busy with? Of course I am busy studying and getting fame."
"Are you really going to take the merit examination?" Jian Niang rubbed the corners of her eyes and turned to look at Lin Wanjie, her eyes seeming to show disbelief.
"Well, I just took the children's examination today."
"How did you do on the exam?"
Lin Wanjie looked sad and said nothing.
The eldest lady covered her mouth and smiled: "This person is careless. He must be sad. Isn't it because he didn't pass the exam and thought it would take an extra year to see you, so he ignored the agreement and insisted on coming to see you. Here he is. We said we were going to meet each other at that time, but after the meeting I asked you to go home directly."
Jian Niang frowned, not knowing what to say.
Lin Wanjie is such an impatient person. If he is asked to wait another year, it is better to break the rules of the game directly.
Anyway, he has a thick skin and is not afraid of making people laugh or complain.
"Let's go." Lin Wanjie said, "How can we let the second lady live here in the wilderness?"
Jian Niang was supported by her sister, walked to the door, and saluted the presiding master: "Master, I have been troublesome these days. If Sister Qin comes back, just say that I have returned to my home in Yangzhou, and she will come to find me."
Mother Jian was finally leaving, and the master in charge breathed a sigh of relief. If such a woman stayed in Qianfo Temple, she would cause trouble sooner or later.
The best home for her is a family that can take care of her.
The carriage was still parked at the foot of the mountain. With the addition of Jian Niang, Lin Wanjie could no longer be accommodated in the carriage.
Lin Wanjie followed on foot, as if he had returned to his servant.
In the carriage, the two sisters reunited. The sisters who rarely spoke before seemed to be much closer now.
Having experienced the disaster together made the family's hearts become even tighter.
The two women held hands and refused to let go.
Without Lin Wanjie around, it was easier for Jian Niang to release her emotions and cry nonstop, only tears but no sound.
When the eldest lady saw her, she didn't know what to say, so she cried with her sister.
Only Lin Wanjie felt like a child who had won by cheating. He was in a good mood and whistled.
Before this, Lin Wanjie had only heard that the second lady was pregnant with her child, but had never seen it with her own eyes.
Only when I witnessed it with my own eyes and saw the changes in the second lady's belly did I have a deeper understanding.
Lin Wanjie just wanted to treat his wife and children well, no matter whether the children recognized him or not, or how they would get along with the second wife in the future.
Just being nice to them is enough.
To make up for the shortcomings of these days, at least let myself have a clear conscience.
In the carriage, the two women were tired of crying and finally stopped to talk.
"Sister, you won't blame me for leaking your whereabouts to him, right?"
Jian Niang shook her head and said with some emotion: "God has arranged everything. When I almost couldn't stay in Qianfo Temple, my sister appeared."
"Who made my sister look worse than a fairy? Even a monk can't stabilize his Buddhist heart. Hey, it's easy for Lin Da!"
Jian Niang blushed, lowered her head and said nothing.
She also knows that she is good-looking, but she doesn't want to be so good-looking.
In the past, I lived in seclusion in the Xiao Mansion and didn't even notice when I saw no one.
Now that I am on the run, I only know after what I have experienced how much trouble I will cause if my skin is exposed.
She was born a canary, so she needed to be kept in a cage. She couldn't survive flying to the mountains and competing with the birds.
Fortunately, I met a kind-hearted sister Qin, who was very skilled in martial arts and protected her all the way. No one dared to provoke her.
But there is no such thing as a never-ending banquet. Sister Qin suddenly had something urgent and needed to leave for a while, so she left her in Qianfo Temple.
Jian Niang told the eldest lady what she had experienced.
The eldest lady was also quite emotional: "Fortunately, I met a kind person. Next time we meet, we will definitely thank them."
"Yes." Mother Jian nodded, suddenly opened the car curtain, and looked at Lin Da, who was walking with the carriage.
"Sister, why don't you let him sit up too?"
"Ah?" The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, then joked, "You feel distressed so quickly? It seems like you don't blame him at all."
Jian Niang's pretty face turned red and she quickly explained: "He, he, he, get in the car and we can go faster."
"If you get on the carriage with his size, don't crush the carriage. Anyway, he's rough, so he'll be fine."
After walking for an hour, I finally returned to the house I rented in Yangzhou.
When Jian Niang came back, Xiaolian and Xiaocui both cried for joy.
They are masters and servants who have little contact with each other, but they are indescribably cordial after meeting again after adversity.
The two maids carefully supported Jian Niang and took her to see her new home.
Lin Wanjie sat in the yard, looking at the big belly on the second floor attic, thinking that with more and more people at home, the house was getting smaller, and that the eldest lady and the second lady would even have to live in the same room in the future.
Lin Wanjie was wondering if it was time to change to a bigger house?
Thinking of the big house, he thought of the promise to Yu Jiaoer.
One day, Yu Jiaoer will be allowed to live in a mansion like the Xiao Mansion.
Now, Yu Jiaoer is gone, but Xu Ren is still here.
Lin Wanjie must fulfill this promise, whether it is Yu Jiaoer, the first lady, or the second lady...
They are all peacocks born with precious wealth. We need to give them a luxurious home so that they can be pretentious and charming, and we don't want them to worry about life every day like they do now.
Thinking about it, a pair of small hands pinched Lin Wanjie's shoulders.
The eldest lady stood behind Lin Wanjie silently like a gentle wife, rubbing his shoulders.
"You've been walking all the way, are you tired? I'll give you a massage."
