Rong Niang's fear of Pei Xiao was rooted in her since childhood and was deep in her bones.

But even so, she still tried to calm herself down and think of the right words to say.

She didn't want to go back to the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion, nor did she want to reveal the fact that her mother had come to the capital.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind, so I said:

"I am here to do something under the order of the temple master."

My father didn't know that my mother was the abbot of the temple, and he was afraid of her existence.

Bringing up the temple master might make my father back off.

Pei Xiao frowned:

"What is it that would require a girl like you to travel thousands of miles to be in the spotlight?"

"Take two people and send Miss San back to the Bo's Mansion immediately."

Having said that, he turned around and gave instructions to the followers around him.

No matter what, Rong Niang is his daughter, the young lady of the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion. She should not show up in such occasions like those Taoist nuns in rural Taoist temples.

Rong Niang immediately took two steps back cautiously:

"Father, you have already signed a contract with Cihang Temple. Your daughter needs to practice in the temple for twelve years. No matter what happens, this contract cannot be changed. I cannot go back to the mansion with you."

She tried hard to suppress her fear of her biological father and maintain a dignified demeanor.

Her mother is the abbot of Cihang Temple, who commands all the powerful people in Southern Capital to bow down to her. As her mother's daughter, she cannot act too submissive and bring down her mother's prestige.

Pei Xiao never expected that his daughter, who had always been respectful and obedient, would dare to disobey his orders.

Looking closely, the girl in front of me stood straight, and although she looked a little nervous, she was mostly calm and confident.

Compared to when he was in the Bo's Mansion, he now has a more noble demeanor.

This made him feel a little more concerned.

With the current status of the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion, even a concubine's daughter can marry into a high-ranking family and take charge of the household.

Rongniang is already over nine years old. Since she has this kind of character, she can be well cultivated.

As for the contract, agreeing to Cihang Temple's request was an act of helplessness. Now that times have changed, there is naturally no reason to let the young lady of the Bo family live outside.

"The people from Cihang Temple should be nearby, right? Go call them over and let your father negotiate with them."

The capital is the home turf of the Bo's Mansion. He does not think that a few Kun Daoists from Cihang Temple can be arrogant enough to confront the Bo's Mansion.

"No need, father. A gentleman's word is as good as a whip. Since we have signed a contract with Cihang Temple, we should not violate it."

"You must have something to do today, so just go do it and don't waste your time on me."

Pei Xiao was about to speak when he suddenly saw a stunning woman in a white Taoist robe walking out of the compartment in front of him.

The woman's skin was whiter than snow, her features were picturesque, and she seemed shrouded in a layer of light. She looked like a goddess who had walked out of a painting, with an immortal look and grace that no one could match.

All of Pei Xiao's words were stuck in his throat, and he was in a trance.

The amazing memories that were once blurred by time are fully revived at this moment.

Chen Qingzhu was always different to him.

She was the first woman who had always rejected him, and also the concubine he had been most obsessed with. But later that feeling changed, and she was no longer special.

But now, that feeling as if I had just met him for the first time has returned.

"Xiaozhu..."

He couldn't help but shout softly, as if he was afraid of scaring the phantom in his dream.

When Chen Qingzhu saw the man in front of him, his eyes instantly brightened.

Rong Niang wanted to find the waiter by herself, but she did not stop her. After all, she brought Rong Niang to the capital to train her, so naturally she wanted her to do more things within her ability.

But Rong Niang was not wearing a veil when she went out, so she was still a little worried that she would meet bad people. Therefore, when she saw that she had been gone for a while, she came out to watch her so that she could help Rong Niang at any time if she encountered danger that she could not solve.

However, she never expected that Rong Niang would be blocked by Pei Xiao.
