Chapter 39 You are finally back
Could it be that her sincerity really moved the Buddha, which is why she was enlightened by him?
Given Jiang Xiyu's feelings for him, she must have been heartbroken when the news of his death reached Kyoto. She was so sad that she actually dreamed of the Buddha. Xu Rui seemed to believe it a little in his heart.
Xu Rui went to see Master Wuming, and Jiang Xiyu came to the paulownia tree again.
The tall sycamore tree, covered with tender green leaves, is slowly shining and full of vitality.
A cool breeze blew by, making her feel refreshed. She couldn't help but close her eyes and enjoy the quiet environment.
What she didn't know was that in the room not far away, she was also attracting Gulin's attention.
She was dressed in plain clothes, with her head slightly tilted back and her eyes closed. A beam of sunlight shone through the sparse leaves onto her body, as if a layer of film had been coated on her body, making people reluctant to look away.
Jiang Xiyu sensed the burning gaze, looked up and found Gulin standing by the window. Jiang Xiyu didn't expect Gulin to be here.
Thinking about how he had helped her last time in Lanruo Temple, Jiang Xiyu walked forward and wanted to express her gratitude to him, but before she got close, the window suddenly slammed shut.
Jiang Xiyu stopped and frowned.
This shows how much he doesn't want to see her. He just closes the window when he sees her.
Perhaps wanting to keep a distance from her, a married woman, Jiang Xiyu didn't think much about it and just turned around and walked around.
In the wing room, Wuyi saw what Gulin did and was also confused about what Gulin was thinking.
He was clearly watching the person from the window for a long time, but when the person came over, he closed the window directly. This series of abnormal behavior is hard to understand.
**
It was late March and the sunlight was not very weak even after noon. On the bluestone slabs, a few monks were cleaning and chatting.
"I heard that the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin came again today, and brought craftsmen to rebuild the golden statue of the Buddha."
"I heard she came with Yonglin Hou. Didn't she say a few days ago that she was enlightened by the Buddha and that Yonglin Hou was not dead? I didn't expect it to be true."
"I don't know whether she has been enlightened or not, but the Marquis of Yonglin has been cuckolded and is probably still in the dark."
"How do you say this?"
"The man who was beaten that day was beaten because he was caught in bed with the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin."
"No way, she would fall for that man if he looked like that."
"Not necessarily. She thought her husband was dead, and it's normal for a widow to feel lonely."
.......
What they didn't know was that Lin Rouyu and her two maids, who were at the corner, heard what they were talking about behind their backs.
Liu Ye looked at her with disdain, "I didn't expect Jiang Xiyu to be so shameless that she actually went to the temple to have a tryst with a man. How can such a woman be worthy of being the wife of a marquis?"
Shu Ye also said angrily, "The Marquis has been deceived by her, so he refused the marriage granted by His Majesty. Girl, let's go and tell the Marquis about this. He will definitely divorce Jiang Xiyu."
Lin Rouyu narrowed her eyes and a sneer appeared at the corner of her lips.
Xu Rui must know these things, but these things cannot be said through her mouth.
The corridor on the other side.
Xu Rong's maid Yuntun gave a purse to a monk. The monk was the one who had just been gossiping most enthusiastically about Jiang Xiyu in the courtyard.
The monk got the purse and left happily.
Xu Rong came out from the corner, smirking proudly.
It won’t be long before there is another good show to watch, and this time she will definitely kill Jiang Xiyu.
After Xu Rui finished chatting with Master Wuming, he stood up and said goodbye.
Because it would take several days to rebuild the golden body, they left the craftsmen behind and went back as a family.
Originally, before leaving Lanruo Temple, Xu Rui wanted to say goodbye to Gulin, but when Xu Rui went to visit the wing room, Gulin did not see him, so Xu Rui could only bow outside the house and then went down the mountain with his family.
As they walked in, Deji came to his side and whispered, "My Lord, someone from the Zhou family is here."
Xu Rui glanced at him and said calmly, "Is the person coming Zhou Qin?"
"Yes." Deji nodded immediately, then leaned closer to Xu Rui and whispered, "He brought a lot of people with him."
Xu Rui was not surprised at all. He turned to Jiang Xiyu and the others and said, "You guys go back first. Stay inside and don't come out without my order."
Jiang Xiyu, who was standing beside him, heard Deji's words, lowered her eyebrows, raised her eyes and nodded, then took Qing'er back to Taolin Garden.
Lin Rouyu didn't know what had happened, but she was in a very upset mood today. Seeing that her face didn't look good, she tactfully took the two maids back to the yard.
Xu Rong had already achieved the purpose of going to Lanruo Temple, so she would not stay.
Soon, they all left.
Xu Rui took Deji to the main hall.
"Where's Zhou Lai?"
"Still in the guest house."
"What was Zhou Qin's reaction?"
"She came to the Marquis' Mansion in a rage, and sat in the living room with a sullen face waiting for your return. Even when the old lady came to entertain her, she ignored her, and the old lady was putting on a smile."
Deji briefly explained the situation to him.
Xu Rui narrowed his eyes and walked towards the main hall seriously.
As soon as I entered, there were more than a dozen tall men standing at the door. Zheng was drinking tea awkwardly, while Zhou Qin's face was as black as ink, and he sat there with a cold expression.
"Rui'er, you're finally back."
When Zheng saw Xu Rui, she walked quickly to his side like a dog seeing a bone.
"Mother." Xu Rui stepped forward and bowed to Zheng, then nodded to Zhou Qin, "Uncle."
Zhou Qin looked at him coldly, remaining silent as if he hadn't heard anything.
Zheng quickly tried to smooth things over, "Rui'er, your uncle is here to pick up your cousin. Hurry up and ask them to bring your cousin out."
"Snapped!"
Zhou Qin slammed the teacup onto the table and said sternly, "Put aside the pick-up in advance. Let's settle the debt your Xu family owes our Zhou family."
Zheng was shocked by this sudden situation, and when she saw Zhou Qin's cold face, she instantly showed a panic expression.
Xu Rui was not afraid at all. He said to Zheng, "Mother, since my uncle is here to settle the accounts, leave everything to me. Mother, go back and rest first."
Zheng was afraid that they would fight. Xu Rui had just come back from the dead, and she didn't want to see him beaten to death or injured. Zheng was a little reluctant to leave.
Xu Rui glanced at her sharply, and no matter how unwilling Zheng was, she had no choice but to leave.
"You guys go down too. My uncle and I will chat here." Xu Rui said to the servants beside him.
Seeing the tense situation, the servants had wanted to leave for a long time. Now that Xu Rui gave the order, they left one by one.
Xu Rui sat on Zhou Qin's left, poured himself a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he said nonchalantly, "Uncle, you came to the Marquis' Mansion this time. I think you also want to talk to me alone, right?"
