The next morning.

Meng Jinyao had breakfast and prepared to take Qingqiu and Ningdong to Lingyun Temple.

Although the groom was there, Gu Jingxi didn't trust her, so there were only three girls and a groom. The groom was of little use if anything happened, so he ordered ten servants who knew martial arts to follow.

Meng Jinyao looked at the ten powerful servants and felt that the appearance was quite big. Except for the wedding day, she had never experienced such an appearance. She was not used to being followed by so many people when she went out, so she said softly: " Husband, is it not necessary?"

Gu Jingxi glanced at her indifferently. He knew what she was thinking without asking, and said quietly: "Which lady goes out without being accompanied by maids, servants, and servants? They all know how to do it. How can you have someone to protect you?" .”

Meng Jinyao was stunned: "I have been to Lingyun Temple before, what can happen?"

Gu Jingxi could not refuse and said: "Madam, take them all with you. Don't you want to stay at Lingyun Temple for a day or two? Take them with you and tell them to do anything if you have anything to do. If nothing happens, just pretend they don't exist."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao no longer refused and set off with ten servants.

Lingyun Temple is very effective, and the temple is full of incense.

When Meng Jinyao arrived at Lingyun Temple, it was the time when there were the most pilgrims. She didn't want to squeeze in with others to offer incense, so she asked Qingqiu to find the monk in charge of the guest room and ask for a guest room to rest for a while.

At noon, Meng Jinyao and his servant had a fast meal in the guest room, rested for a while, and prepared to burn incense. However, the summer weather was like a child's face, changing at a moment's notice. Suddenly there was a heavy rain, so we had to wait for the rain. Stop and then go to burn incense.

The afternoon after the rain was even hotter than before the rain.

Meng Jinyao, his master and his servant, went to the main hall to burn incense, donated money for sesame oil, and then went to the Changsheng Hall.

The Rebirth Hall is a place where memorial tablets are enshrined, and it is also a memorial tablet specifically dedicated to the deceased. It is called the Rebirth Lotus Tablet. It is enshrined in the temple in the hope that the Buddha will bless the deceased so that the deceased can have a good place to go.

The memorial tablet of Meng Jinyao's biological mother, Zhou, is enshrined in the Rebirth Hall of Lingyun Temple. This was decided by Meng Jinyao's maternal grandfather, Mr. Zhou. He hoped that his daughter who died young would be blessed by the Buddha and have a good place to go. The Meng family also agreed to this.

Because of this, it is much more convenient for Meng Jinyao to worship his biological mother without having to enter the Meng family ancestral hall.

It was last year since she last came to offer incense. She originally wanted to come to offer incense before getting married and tell her mother that she was about to get married. However, she contracted a cold before getting married and became very ill. It took a long time for Li Suo to get ready, but Li Suo was about to get married.

Unexpectedly, after getting married, something bad happened again. After a long delay, she came to Lingyun Temple to offer incense to her mother.

The monks led their master and servant outside the Rebirth Hall and left. There were no monks guarding the Rebirth Hall. After all, people came to offer incense and sometimes say a few words to the deceased. It was inconvenient for a monk to guard here. explain.

The door of the Hall of Rebirth was slightly opened. Meng Jinyao was about to push it open when she suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from inside. She stopped opening the door and did not go in to disturb her. She was afraid that someone was offering incense to the ancestors inside. After all, the hall It's not just her mother's tablet that's enshrined inside.

Meng Jinyao said softly: "Let's wait for a while."

Qingqiu and Ningdong nodded lightly.

Meng Jinyao was about to leave when she suddenly heard the extremely guilty but thankful voice of the person inside: "Madam, please rest in peace. Although the eldest daughter did not get to marry the prince of Changxing Marquis, Marquis Changxing treated the eldest daughter very well. "

Upon hearing this, she immediately stopped and signaled Qingqiu and Ningdong to be silent and listen carefully.

There is only one Marquis of Changxing in our dynasty, and that is her husband, and the eldest girl in the woman's mouth must be her. Besides her, who else can offer incense to her mother?

The only person who can call her mother my wife is a servant. Could it be the person who served her mother back then?

The next moment, she heard a voice coming from inside again. The voice was much quieter than before. She was leaning against the crack in the door and could barely hear it. She could only hear the man's choked voice saying: "Madam, what happened back then was something that I had no choice but to do. Now this slave is dying, and I will go downstairs soon to make amends to you in person." After the woman said this, she began to cry softly and said no more.

What happened back then?

What happened back then?

The woman's words echoed in Meng Jinyao's mind, and her mind was buzzing. Many possibilities emerged in her mind, and she felt that the most likely one was her mother's death. But her mother did not die from dystocia when giving birth to her. Die?

Could it be possible that there is another hidden secret?

Thinking of this, Meng Jinyao's heart tightened, and she suddenly stretched out her hand to open the door. Her eyes were fixed on the middle-aged woman who was kneeling on the futon, wearing a starched white dress, and her body was thin and looked a bit rickety. She tried her best to steady herself. His own voice asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

When the middle-aged woman heard the sound, she seemed to be startled, and her body froze. Her back was turned to them at the moment, and her expression was not visible. However, looking at her random movements to wipe away her tears, one could guess her expression at this time. look.

She was panicked.

Panic, that proves a guilty conscience.

Meng Jinyao asked again: "Who are you?"

The middle-aged woman stabilized her mind, stood up, and slowly turned around to look.

It was okay not to look at it. When she saw Meng Jinyao standing with the backlight, her face was a little blurry but quite similar to her memory. Her originally pale face was so frightened that she turned pale, her figure became unstable and collapsed on the ground, looking at Looking at Meng Jinyao, his pupils tightened, and he called out in a trembling voice: "Husband, Madam?"

Meng Jinyao frowned. She was sure that the woman in front of her called her mother, but she looked a lot like her mother, so she recognized the wrong person when she was mentally unstable.

She half-squinted her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her. The woman's eye sockets were sunken, she was so thin that she was out of shape, her mental state was very poor, she looked terminally ill, and it was impossible to tell how old she was.

While the other person was in a daze, she took advantage of it and replied softly: "Well, it's me, but why are you like this?"

As she spoke, her face changed, and she stared coldly at the woman with a ferocious expression, like a ghost seeking someone's life. She asked angrily: "Apologise to me? What are you using to apologize to me? I I treat you well, why would you betray me?"

When the middle-aged woman saw this scene, she was in a daze and completely took it in. She quickly got up and knelt down, and said in a panic and at a loss: "Madam, this slave is forced. They are threatening the lives of my family members. This slave has no choice but to do so."

"Who is it?" Meng Jinyao stepped forward and walked towards her slowly, asking as she walked, "Who is threatening you?"

She was moving forward, and the middle-aged woman was so panicked that she subconsciously moved her knees to retreat. But seeing her getting closer and closer, she was so panicked that she didn't dare to hide it. She burst into tears and said incoherently: "Yes, it's the prince! No, no, it's my uncle! Yes, it's my uncle!" The woman said and kowtowed, "Madam, spare your life, please spare my family. It's my fault. Just ask for your life. My family. All innocent."
