After sharing a body with her husband

Shang Lingjun was truly amused by Old Madam Wei's words, and was dragged away by the Monkey King, who tucked her under his armpits, haha...

It's surprising that such a serious matriarch as Old Madam Wei has such a humorous side.

Old Madam Wei looked at the result of her work and said:

"Let Qingzhi and the others do these chores. We can rest for another day today and return to the capital early tomorrow morning."

Shang Lingjun was slightly taken aback. "Going back tomorrow?"

She's so happy staying here that she doesn't want to leave, but she really has to go back. Her sleeping husband is still waiting for her to come and pamper him at home.

But there is one more person,

"Mother-in-law, what about her?"

Shang Lingjun was asking about Qu Ronghua, the woman surnamed Qu.

Old Madam Wei reached out and picked up a bit of blanched Qiming flower, saying casually:

"Your third sister-in-law isn't going back. She suddenly lost her son and was so heartbroken that she has become a Buddhist nun."

Shang Lingjun's pupils contracted as she looked up and met Old Madam Wei's indifferent gaze.

She was shocked, never expecting the old lady's actions to be so ruthless and bloodless.

The act of shaving one's head and becoming a nun signifies the end of Qu Ronghua's life as a noblewoman in the capital, with the rest of her life spent in quiet contemplation and Buddhist practice. For Qu Ronghua, what difference is there between this and being killed?

Qu was incredibly audacious, daring to lay a hand on her sister-in-law right under Old Madam Wei's nose, and in a Buddhist temple no less, using such despicable and vicious methods as framing her for adultery.

This was a great provocation to the authority of Old Madam Wei.

Furthermore, given that Qu had already mocked her family and showed no remorse, unless her family truly possessed immense power and wealth that would make the Xie family wary, she would not be easily forgiven.

The Xie family had already given her a chance, but she didn't cherish it.

Therefore, Qu's fate was entirely her own fault.

"Third Sister-in-law has also had a hard life. I hope she can cultivate herself in the Buddhist temple," Shang Lingjun said in a low voice.

At noon, Qi Minghua porridge was served, which earned praise from Old Madam Wei. Even Shang Lingjun drank half a bowl more.

While packing my luggage in the afternoon, the monks from the temple brought me a basket of Qiming flowers as a farewell gift.

Shang Lingjun was pleasantly surprised.

Before leaving, I must pay my respects once more at the Mahavira Hall to express my gratitude for the protection of this Buddhist site.

But in the main hall, she encountered the person she least wanted to see.

"Miss Meng, this main hall enshrines the Buddhas of the Three Worlds; it's the most effective place to pray for blessings..."

A maid in pink was talking to her mistress beside her, and the one called Miss Meng was Xie Zhaoqing, who had faked her death to escape.

Xie Zhaoqing wore a bright red brocade dress with gold trim, adorned with gold hairpins and jade rings, exuding an air of nobility.

She walked along the covered walkway, gently waving a round fan, occasionally using it to shield her eyes from the glaring sunlight. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, and she exuded an air of unapproachability.

It seems that Xiao Jing has taken good care of her.

Xie Zhaoqing frowned slightly, muttering something under his breath.

"I told Jinglang I didn't want to come, but he insisted. What's so great about staying in this Buddhist temple? You can't even find a single piece of meat."

It seems that Xiao Jingfei sent her.

Shang Lingjun couldn't be bothered to pay any attention. She was going back to the capital tomorrow, and since they were in a Buddhist temple, she figured it was better to avoid trouble.

Shang Lingjun kept her eyes straight ahead, pretending not to see Xie Zhaoqing, and continued on her way.

The two bumped into each other. Xie Zhaoqing was annoyed, but when he saw Shang Lingjun, his expression changed instantly, and he stared at Shang Lingjun with a venomous look in his eyes.

"What a twist of fate..."

wrong!

Xie Zhaoqing originally wanted to settle accounts with Shang Lingjun, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Even when they met face to face, Shang Lingjun didn't even glance at her. Only then did she realize that she had changed her face and Shang Lingjun didn't recognize her at all!

Thinking of this, Xie Zhaoqing raised an eyebrow, a cunning glint flashing in his eyes.

"Madam, wait a moment."

Xie Zhaoqing blocked Shang Lingjun's path, and Shang Lingjun stopped in her tracks.

Xie Zhaoqing smiled brightly and said:

"I'm from out of town and new to the area. I find you kind, madam. Could you do me a favor?"

Shang Lingjun looked puzzled, and almost burst out laughing when she realized what Xie Zhaoqing meant. So Xie Zhaoqing thought that she had changed her face and no one would recognize her?

Is it possible that she saw what she looked like before the face transplant?

Shang Lingjun pursed her lips to hide her unease. Since she was putting on an act, she wanted to see what tricks Xie Zhaoqing was up to.

"What kind of help do you need, young lady?" she asked calmly.

Seeing that Shang Lingjun truly didn't recognize him, Xie Zhaoqing felt a mischievous urge.

At first, she was furious when her face was suddenly swapped, but over time, she gradually accepted her new face.

It's quite interesting to get to know those people again as a complete stranger.

Xie Zhaoqing leaned closer, lowered his voice, and pretended to be hesitant as he said:

"Madam, my period started suddenly. I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me. Could you take me to your place so I can tidy up?"

Shang Lingjun's eyes flashed, and her lips gradually tightened.

She knows how to feign weakness, using menstruation as an excuse to ask other women for help, and usually gets them to lend a hand by taking advantage of their sympathy.

However, how did she know that she had a place to stay at Puji Temple?

But then Shang Lingjun realized that Xie Zhaoqing was a member of the Xie family. Many members of the Xie family used to come to Puji Temple to worship Buddha and pray for blessings. The journey was long and it was not enough to make a round trip in one day, so they would often stay at Puji Temple.

Find her address, then what?

How do you want to harm her?

Shang Lingjun smiled slightly, not following the expected pattern. She looked around and saw a monk. She raised her voice slightly and called out:

"Master!"

Under Xie Zhaoqing's puzzled gaze, and facing the monk who approached to inquire, Shang Lingjun smiled and said:

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Master. This young lady has started her menstrual cycle and doesn't know what to do. Please help her."

Shang Lingjun's voice wasn't too loud or too soft, and the young monk's ears instantly turned red.

"this……"

Nearby worshippers looked at Xie Zhaoqing with strange eyes.

Xie Zhaoqing blushed instantly with embarrassment and snapped, "What are you yelling for...?"

But when I looked up again, there was no trace of Shang Lingjun.

Shang Lingjun had run away sometime earlier.

Although the monk was somewhat embarrassed, he still respectfully put his palms together in greeting.

"Madam, I apologize for my rudeness. It is not that I refuse you entry into the temple, but that Buddhist worship requires a calm mind and a pure body. If you enter the temple now, it may be difficult to complete the ritual, and you will only disappoint your sincere intentions."

Why don't you rest in the guest hall outside the temple first? Have a maidservant offer incense money on your behalf. This humble monk will burn incense and pray for your well-being separately. When you feel better, please choose an auspicious day to return to the temple. I hope you will understand.

The monk refused Xie Zhaoqing entry to the hall, which made Xie Zhaoqing grit her teeth in anger.

"I didn't come... never mind!"

She was too ashamed to be laughed at in public, so she turned and fled as if she were running away, her whole body blazing with anger. She walked very fast, cursing inwardly as she searched for Shang Lingjun's figure.

But he couldn't find it anywhere, which made him even angrier.

"Where did she go?"

The pink-clad maid was newly purchased by Xiao Jing and was assigned to serve Xie Zhaoqing in the villa, so she didn't know Shang Lingjun at all.

"Miss Meng, who is that?"

Xie Zhaoqing took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"A shameless woman who only knows how to fawn over men, commonly known as a 'green tea bitch'!"

The maid in pink glanced at Xie Zhaoqing's expression and whispered in agreement:

"Exactly! Not only did she not help the girl, she also made a scene and made us look foolish in front of others. That's really awful!"

Xie Zhaoqing sneered, "Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. This kind of treacherous and cunning villain will get her retribution sooner or later."

Did she think that marrying a disabled person would solve everything and allow her to live a good life?

If Xie Zhaoqing could swallow this insult, she would rather slit her own throat and die right now!

Just you wait, Mr. Shang!

Just as Xie Zhaoqing was about to turn and leave, he suddenly noticed two familiar figures out of the corner of his eye.

That is...?
