"You are now the nominal mistress of the Nalan family. It is your responsibility to find a way to guide her to the countryside. Then, my father will help you solve the rest..." The old lady told Mrs. Xu
This kind of thing, it is better to avoid people’s eyes and ears. Otherwise, even if they are lucky enough to succeed, they will eventually be scolded by the rumors from the outside world and hand over the hard-earned spoils in vain.
people.
"This..." Madam Xu looked troubled, but thinking whether this matter would succeed or not was not only her personal matter, but also related to the lives of their mother's third son and Mrs. Xu.
The honor and disgrace of the entire Xu family was so great that they gritted their teeth and agreed.
"Remember, try to do it as quietly as possible. Don't let anyone see that you deliberately lured that girl out." The old lady finally warned Mrs. Xu.
"My daughter knows." Mrs. Xu replied softly.
The next morning, the Nalan family had breakfast together in the hall. After Mrs. Xu finished eating, she put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, wiped the corners of her mouth gently, and then said to Nalan Ming: "Master, I heard that Puhua
The temple's peace charms are the most famous. Before the new year is approaching, I would like to take my two sons to Puhua Temple to offer incense and pray for some peace charms for the master and his children." In Xu's heart, she accepted it.
Judging from Lan Ming's attitude of attaching great importance to Nalan Luowei, as soon as he heard that she was going to ask for a peace charm, he would definitely ask Nalan Luowei to go with her.
Upon hearing Xu's words, Nalan Wushuang couldn't help but raise his head in surprise. He had never heard that his mother was going to Puhua Temple before. Why did she bring it up so suddenly today?
Nalan Ming also put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiping his mouth while thinking deeply. Then he said: "How can you ask your mother to ask for a peace charm for yourself? Today, I will ask Shuang'er and Wei'er to do it with you.
Go to Puhua Temple to offer incense and pray for peace." Wei'er's safety has always been a concern in his heart. As long as it is something that can make Wei'er safe, he will not easily let it go.
"I'm not going." Nalan Luo said lightly.
"Wei'er, my father knows that you don't like these tedious things. If my father hadn't come to the palace with something important today, my father would have personally gone to seek amulets for you. Although the gods say it is very unreal, it can still make people feel at ease.
, An Xin, so I agree to be my father and go this time. Next time, unless there is a chance, my father will never force you." Nalan Ming and Nalan Luo discussed it slightly.
Looking at Nalan Ming's expression, Nalan Luowei really couldn't say anything to refuse. Finally, she said lightly: "I won't do this next time." After saying that, she stood up and led Ling'er away.
"Master, is that Wei'er..." Do you want to go or not? Xu tried her best to hide the pride on her face and asked Nalan Ming calmly.
"Of course I agreed." Nalan Ming looked at Nalan Luo's leaving figure with gentle eyes.
"Then Master, I will go get ready right away and we can set off in the afternoon." Mrs. Xu stood up and signaled Nalan Wushuang with her eyes to prepare to leave.
"Well, take good care of Shuang'er and Wei'er." Nalan Ming promised softly.
Nalan Wushuang also stood up and said goodbye: "Father, Shuang'er went to help mother prepare for the incense burning in the afternoon."
"Well, go."
At Xu's residence, Nalan Wushuang couldn't hide his face and asked Xu, "Mother, what's going on?" Why did he suddenly say that he was going to Puhua Temple to offer incense? There was no warning for Xu.
Nalan Wushuang was puzzled by the arrangement of offering incense.
Mrs. Xu did not want to involve Nalan Wushuang, and the fewer people knew about this matter, the better. Therefore, she did not intend to tell Nalan Wushuang her and the old lady's plan. "Shuang'er, nothing happened.
.My mother also heard yesterday that the ladies of the court in Kyoto said that the peace charms there were very effective, so she came up with the idea to go there to burn incense and pray for peace charms for you and your brother."
Regarding Xu's answer, there was no doubt about his Nalan Wushuang. Then he thought of another thing and hesitantly asked the calm-looking Xu: "Mother, father said that Nalan Luowei should go with us.
Don't you mind if you burn incense?" She remembered the look of resentment on her mother's face every time she mentioned Nalan Luowei. That kind of resentment had accumulated since the previous generation, and now it is almost
The hatred that goes so deep into her bones that even she, who has never experienced it before, can't help but feel frightened sometimes when she looks at it, let alone her mother. How could such a deep hatred be contained in such a short period of time?
Did it disappear without a trace within a short period of time? Nalan Wushuang, who had an intuition that something was definitely not simple here, couldn't help but look at his mother suspiciously.
Faced with Nalan Wushuang's doubts, Xu answered half truthfully: "Shuang'er, mother doesn't like Nalan Luowei. But this time it's your father who wants your mother to take you and her to burn incense and pray for peace."
Mother can ignore other people, but your father and mother must take care of his face. Since he wants this, how can mother refuse?" Since Nalan Ming insists on letting Nalan Luowei follow, then wait.
It was obvious that if something happened on the road later, she wouldn't be blamed. Xu's face showed a cruel smile from an angle that Nalan Wushuang couldn't see.
"Mother, it's hard for you." Nalan Wushuang believed Xu's words. She couldn't help but feel very sorry for her mother's forbearance. Mother, why don't we all stop hating her. In her heart, these words almost blurted out.
But when the words came to her lips, she held back. As for her mother's obscure attitude, Nalan Wushuang felt that she had better observe it more. In case she said it, if her mother still couldn't let it go, then she knew that she
If you have such an idea, you will definitely not be able to accept it.
Mrs. Xu helped Nalan Wushuang smooth her long, messy hair and said in a gentle tone: "As long as you and your brother are well, everything your mother is doing now will be worth it. Nothing is too difficult." May God.
Mercy, bless her to get what she wants this time. As long as Nalan Luowei can be successfully eliminated, she has nothing to worry about. At the same time, Feng'er can successfully inherit the position of the sect leader, and Shuang'er can also serve as
The only young lady in the prime minister's palace who had not yet left the cabinet was highly favored. Mrs. Xu secretly prayed in her heart.
On the official road, three carriages were driving leisurely. On one of the carriages were Xu and Nalan Wushuang, and on the other were Nalan Luowei, Ling'er, and Zhang Ma's master and servant.
People. The last one is filled with various items used for burning incense.
Sitting on the carriage, Nalanluo opened the curtain without leaving any trace, looking at everything outside the carriage, thoughtfully. Ling'er beside him had an excited face, and he was chirping along the way.
Having a heated discussion with Zhang Ma.
After a while, they stopped at the gate of Puhua Temple on the outskirts of Beijing.
The maids followed at the end, with Mrs. Xu taking the lead, followed closely by Nalan Wushuang and Nalan Luowei. Under the leadership of the young novice monk, the group slowly walked into Puhua Temple.
"Namo Amitabha, Mrs. Nalan is here well." The abbot of Puhua Temple stood at the entrance of the temple to greet everyone.
"Master, you are polite." Mrs. Xu replied respectfully. Mrs. Xu had met the abbot of Puhua Temple once when she was a child.
"Twenty years have passed since the last time we said goodbye. Mrs. Nalan is now a mother." The host said, looking at Nalan Wushuang and Nalan Luowei behind Mrs. Xu.
"But Master is still as peaceful and far-reaching as before, which is enviable." Xu replied with a smile.
"Change or remain unchanged, only in a thought. Madam, please." The host led everyone into the Main Hall.
After everyone paid their respects, they were ready to follow the elders of the temple to the back hall to pray for peace. Just when Mrs. Xu was about to step out of the main hall, the host said to her: "Just now, I saw my wife looking worried.
I would like to give this message to my wife: Don’t force anything if you have your destiny, and be at ease and be kind to the moon.”
Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, and after listening to the host's words, she replied: "Thank you, host. But I don't need it. I only know that if you don't try your best to fight for some things now, it won't help if you regret it later."
"After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she took steps and walked out.
The host looked at Xu's fading figure and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Regarding the development of the next situation, he has fulfilled his obligation. What will happen next, he can only leave it to fate.
When everyone was praying for the Peace Talisman, they realized that it turns out that the Peace Talisman needs to be made at the right time according to the birth date of the person who wants to wear it. At this time, the sky is getting dark. If you want to stay and wait for the Peace Talisman to be made,
It will be completed in the evening at the earliest. However, Mrs. Xu cannot go out for too long and must quickly return to the house to deal with the various chores in the house. After discussing with Nalan Luowei and Nalan Wushuang, Mrs. Xu decided that Nalan Wushuang and Nalan Wushuang should do the work.
Lan Luowei stayed and waited for the completion of the peace talisman. Once it was done, he rushed back to Nalan Mansion without stopping. Xu, on the other hand, went back to the manor first to deal with things.
The two sisters watched Xu's carriage leave. When the carriage was out of sight, they turned around and walked back to the temple.
Nalan Luowei walked in front of Nalan Wushuang and asked: "You could have chosen to go back with your mother. Why did you stay?" Xu didn't intend to let Nalan Wushuang stay just now. But.
But it was with Nalan Wushuang's insistence that he finally agreed.
"Because I want to try a life that is completely different from the one before, so I want to stay and go back with you." Moreover, another reason Nalan Wushuang did not say was: the look in her mother's eyes when she turned around.
It made her feel frightened. She was worried that her mother would send people to attack Nalan Luo Wei here. If she was around, if there really was a killer, they would be wary and not dare to go too far to kill them all. I don’t know why.
Since she woke up last time, she had a special feeling towards Nalan Luowei inexplicably, as if they were sisters from the same mother. Subconsciously, Nalan Wushuang did not want Nalan Luowei to encounter anything like this.
What an unexpected event.
Nalan Luo slightly saw that Nalan Wushuang's words were specious, so she stopped asking. Anyway, she was the one who was willing to stay. She would go back later, and she didn't want to be so scared that it was getting late and make a lot of noise. Otherwise, she would
He would knock her unconscious and take her home without mercy. Nalan Luo Wei cursed in his heart.
Finally, when the peace talisman was made, Zhang Ma was told to put the peace talisman away properly. Nalan Luo Weibia and Nalan Wushuang, accompanied by Ling'er, got on the carriage. At this time, because the peace talisman's production time exceeded
Their original estimated time was so that by the time they were about to go back, the sky was already dark. Nalan Luowei asked Nalan Wushuang to get into the carriage first, and then she also asked Ling'er and Zhang Ma to get into the carriage.
Finally, it was herself. For some reason, at this time, she vaguely felt that something was going to happen. This was an early warning of danger, and she had relied on it to help her get out of danger in the past. So
, this time, without exception, she chose to trust her intuition again.
