It was not until the burning incense ash fell on the back of his hand that Xiao Xuetang retracted his gaze as if awakened from a dream and said, "Sorry, I may have recognized the wrong person just now."

The man didn't seem to recognize Xiao Xuetang either. He put his hands together and said, "It's okay. Are you here to burn incense?"

His smile was like the bright moon and gentle breeze blowing on one's face, giving one a very comfortable feeling. Hearing him calling himself the donor, Xiao Xuetang thought to herself, "Could this really be the monk who practiced with hair in the dream?"

I thought of the carnelian beads I accidentally picked up in the alley yesterday... The identity of the man in front of me was almost obvious!

Those people in the beautiful dream were actually standing in front of him at this moment. Xiao Xuetang felt indescribably embarrassed in his heart. He just wanted to burn incense and pay tribute to Concubine Xie as soon as possible and then leave.

The memorial tablet of Concubine Xie is easy to find. Xie Wanyue is Concubine Xie’s maiden name!

This was the request made by Concubine Xie on her deathbed...

She hoped that after her death, she would not be anyone’s wife or anyone’s mother, but that she could have her own life on her spirit tablet - Xie Wanyue!

For the royal family, such a request was obviously very against the rules, so Lin Shaoshu and Xiao Xuetang placed the spirit tablet in the most remote corner of the Ksitigarbha Hall, and they only dared to offer sacrifices in secret.

The man in white was patiently lighting the lotus lamps enshrined in the hall one by one. If Xiao Xuetang wanted to burn incense in front of Concubine Xie's spirit tablet, she would inevitably come into contact with him.

If we wait for him to leave, there are eighty-one lamps enshrined in this temple. I don’t know how long we will have to wait!

At this time Xiao Xuetang was in an awkward situation.

I don't know what happened today, there was not a single monk around, and the temple that was usually very popular had no one coming to burn incense...

The other party was lighting the lamp with a focused look, as if Xiao Xuetang didn't exist; but Xiao Xuetang could never be as calm as he was. She was curious about his identity, but also felt embarrassed. In the inner hall where it was so quiet that only the sound of cicadas could be heard, and obviously no one was looking at her, Xiao Xuetang felt like a thorn in her back.

at last……

Xiao Xuetang finally couldn't help but take the initiative to speak: "This young master..."

The man heard the voice and looked up at Xiao Xuetang again, saying with a smile on his face, "Female donor, you can call me Foshu."

"Foshu..."

Xiao Xuetang rolled the name around on the tip of his tongue, not knowing whether he should add the word "master".

When Xiao Xuetang heard him refer to himself, she didn't know whether it was his name or his Buddhist name, so when it came to her lips it became a somewhat intimate-sounding name.

Fo Shu's slightly cold eyes and brows were tinged with a smile. Without waiting for Xiao Xuetang to speak, he took the initiative to give up his seat so that Xiao Xuetang could go to burn incense.

Xiao Xuetang placed the incense stick in his hand, which was almost as long as a finger, in front of Concubine Xie and bowed down...

During Xiao Xuetang's childhood when she lacked maternal love, it was Concubine Xie who gave her motherly protection, and the relationship between the two was extremely deep.

Even when Concubine Xie was on her deathbed, the person she was most worried about was not Lin Shaoshu, but her...

"In this world, it's already difficult for women. My Tangtang is so smart. What should I do in the future?"

It turned out to be a prophecy.

Concubine Xie liked girls very much, but she only gave birth to one son, Lin Shaoshu. After that, her relationship with Prince Lin deteriorated and it was impossible for her to have other children.

Therefore, she always treated Xiao Xuetang as her own daughter, and even when she was dying, she was still making plans for Xiao Xuetang.

Even for Concubine Xie's sake, as long as Lin Shaoshu didn't do anything to harm the Xie family in this life, Xiao Xuetang couldn't kill him.

But, she will leave Lin Shaoshu with nothing!

"Aunt, I hope you can forgive me..."

Xiao Xuetang was silent in his heart, bowed his head and kowtowed. When he stood up again, he saw the man behind him still standing between the light and shadow!

His appearance was somewhat obscure in the shadows, but to Xiao Xuetang, there was an inexplicable sense of oppression and familiarity...

Almost at the same time, the alarm bell rang in my heart!

Regardless of whether this man had any relationship with herself in the dream, there was no one around at the moment, not even a maid by her side. If she was seen by someone, she would not be able to explain herself.

As if he had noticed Xiao Xuetang's change, when Xiao Xuetang's expression became alert, Fu Shu took a step back, keeping an appropriate distance.

He stood in the sunlight again, as if the dark and oppressive gaze was just Xiao Xuetang's illusion. In the sunlight, he looked compassionate and yet inexplicably familiar.

"The scenery by the lotus pond at Huguo Temple is nice. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

This time, Foshu did not call Xiao Xuetang "female donor", but "girl".

Xiao Xuetang did not notice the subtle changes in Foshu's tone, but when the lotus pond was mentioned, Xiao Xuetang remembered that she had been there in her previous life.

It was Lin Shaoshu who took her there!

It is said that the lotus pond is under the Guanyin Spring and is very spiritual, and is also known as the Sansheng Pond.

If one is destined to do so, he or she can see his or her past and present lives in the water of the pool.

But it was just some rumors, Xiao Xuetang didn't take it to heart in his previous life, but Lin Shaoshu...

Just when I thought of Lin Shaoshu, I saw Lin Shaoshu coming in a hurry.

Lin Shaoshu was seen wearing a green brocade robe with a jade pendant hanging around his waist. The lotus green color made him look as graceful and elegant as mountains and rivers. When he saw Xiao Xuetang, a smile broke out on his face, full of endless tenderness and affection.

Xiao Xuetang retreated a few steps without making a sound.

Lin Shaoshu was in a particularly good mood today. He was not angry because Xiao Xuetang avoided him. He just asked Xiao Xuetang in surprise: "Why did you come so early?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xuetang's eyes flashed with thought. It seemed that the little monk who brought her to the Ksitigarbha Temple just now was not arranged by Lin Shaoshu. Could it be Buddha Shu?

Yesterday in the alley, today in the Huguo Temple, what is his purpose in approaching me!

Seeing Xiao Xuetang didn't say anything, Lin Shaoshu couldn't help but ask: "Why are you looking at me?"

Xiao Xuetang did not mention the matter of Foshu, but looked at the attendant holding incense and candles behind Lin Shaoshu, and said casually: "I haven't seen Ruyi for a while."

In the past, Concubine Xie’s death anniversary was always arranged by Ruyi, but this year there was a strange face behind Lin Shaoshu.

Lin Shaoshu's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment he said, "Ruyi has not been feeling well these days, so Mr. Wen has replaced a servant with me."

Hearing Mr. Wen's name, Xiao Xuetang's eyes flashed with a subtle gleam, and he pretended to sneer nonchalantly: "Mr. Wen? He is the one who suggested that you get close to Ye Jin. I don't know what this gentleman's background is, and why you have been so obedient to him all these years."

Seeing Xiao Xuetang asking about Mr. Wen, Lin Shaoshu wanted to hide something, but remembering that his relationship with Xiao Xuetang had finally eased over the past few days, he considered for a moment and then confessed to Xiao Xuetang...
