Chapter 75 Why does this place feel so familiar?
When Qin Wan arrived at Leishan Temple, the Qin family had already finished offering incense in the main hall and were about to head to the side hall when they saw Qin Wan, who had arrived late.
He put down what he was doing and went to greet them.
"I didn't expect you to leave so quickly!" Qin Yi said sarcastically.
Qin Wan ignored him and looked at the crowds at Leishan Temple and the familiar faces of the nuns. She felt a vague panic in her heart, as if all the things she had experienced at Leishan Temple in her previous life were still vivid in her mind.
Every year on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, when Leishan Temple is open to the public, the Qin family would also come here to burn incense.
This year it has come, and it must have come on this day in the previous life as well, but they did not even glance at her.
Qin Wan thought her heart would stop hurting, but when she returned to this terrifying place, she couldn't hold back her emotions.
When the nuns approached and bowed to them, she recognized them as the people who had tormented her. She instinctively flinched away, as if it were a physical stress response.
Qin Lang witnessed this scene and was momentarily stunned, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
Why did he see fear in her eyes?
It was a deep, intense fear, one he had never seen in her eyes before.
Qin Lang frowned in confusion. Leishan Temple was a royal temple and was not open to the public every day, so Wan'er would always come with him whenever they came here.
She used to be excited and happy, and never felt fear.
What's wrong with her today? What is she afraid of?
Perhaps his heart softened a little; Qin Lang's anger, which had not yet dissipated, subsided at this moment, and he lowered his voice to speak.
"Incense has already been offered in the main hall, and I've offered one for you as well. Now, whatever you wish to ask for, go to whichever side hall you prefer. Would you like to...?"
Qin Wan interrupted Qin Lang before he could finish speaking.
"Then let's go our separate ways. I saw horse-drawn carriages for rent by the roadside when I came up. You don't need to wait for me after you've offered incense; I'll go back by myself!"
After saying that, Qin Wan didn't give anyone a chance to react before pulling Wan Shuang away. She had more important things to do and couldn't linger here for too long.
As Qin Lang watched Qin Wan's retreating figure, the anger he had just suppressed flared up again.
He originally wanted to ask if we should go together next.
But before he could finish speaking, she refused. You see, whenever she came to Leishan Temple before, she always begged her brothers to come with her.
But this time, she left resolutely.
Han Shu felt that Qin Wan was becoming increasingly unreasonable, and that she had to tell the Marquis about this.
Su Yan'er kept observing Qin Lang's expression. Seeing his face darken and darken, she felt a slight tremor in her heart and timidly asked a question.
"Second brother, I'd like to go to the Bodhisattva later to ask the old lady for a peace charm. Could you come with me?"
Su Yan'er opened her eyes wide and looked at Qin Lang with a sincere gaze.
But Qin Lang didn't even look at her, and directly refused, saying, "Yan'er, you go with your mother. I have other things to do and can't accompany you!"
Su Yan'er's eyes, which had been shining, instantly dimmed, and she replied with some disappointment,
"Okay, Yan'er understands!"
Su Yan'er's hatred grew stronger. No matter what, her fourth sister could influence her second brother's emotions. If it had been her fourth sister who spoke up just now, her second brother would probably have gone with her.
If my fourth sister hadn't said such harsh things, my second brother wouldn't have rejected me.
Han Shu sensed Su Yan'er's displeasure and secretly took Su Yan'er's hand, gently comforting her.
"Yan'er, I'll go with you later, but before that, you need to come with me to the Temple of the Old Man of the Moon!"
"The Temple of the Matchmaker?" Su Yan'er asked in surprise.
Han Shu smiled, a hint of teasing in her voice, "Of course it's for your marriage!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan'er blushed and subconsciously glanced at Qin Lang, but his gaze remained in the direction Qin Wan had left.
Here.
After leaving the group, Qin Wan headed towards the back mountain, relying on her memories from her previous life.
Leishan Temple is open to the public today, and the backyard will be sealed off to prevent anyone from accidentally entering. However, going through the backyard would require taking a long detour, so Qin Wan had to think of a way to get through the backyard.
Just as Qin Wan was pondering, a figure rushed towards her at great speed. By the time Qin Wan reacted, she had already been knocked to the ground.
"Miss!" Wan Shuang exclaimed in shock and hurriedly helped Qin Wan up from the ground.
Looking at Qin Wan's body again, it was already soaked in ink, with black ink marks everywhere.
"Qin Wan, this place is so big, why are you standing in the middle blocking the way? Are you looking for trouble?" The voice of the speaker was very familiar.
Qin Wan looked up and saw that it was indeed Shen Siyi.
She was standing in the middle of the road, yet people could pass on either side of her; she would never believe it unless it was intentional.
Qin Wan was knocked to the ground, and her buttocks hurt terribly.
She was distracted while thinking of a plan; otherwise, she would have kicked Shen Siyi away the moment she got close.
But it's too late to think about it now.
"Are you blind? This place is so big, why did you have to bump into me!"
Looking at herself covered in filth, and then at Shen Siyi who was completely untouched, Qin Wan became even more certain that Shen Siyi had done it on purpose.
Shen Siyi smiled and said, "It's all because you were standing in the middle of the road, blocking my way. You definitely can't continue to worship and offer incense in that outfit. Go and change your clothes!"
Qin Wan frowned. She thought Shen Siyi would continue arguing with her and then let the people around her mock her for being dirty. She didn't expect it to end so quickly.
Qin Wan felt uneasy, sensing that something was amiss.
But the next second, Shen Siyi looked at the nun beside her and said, "Master, Miss Qin is the future Fifth Prince's consort. She cannot be neglected. Please lead Miss Qin to the backyard to change her clothes!"
backyard!
Qin Wan's eyes lit up, and she immediately decided to play along, following the nun into the backyard.
"Miss, this servant feels that Miss Shen San has ill intentions. You must be careful!"
Even Wan Shuang noticed it. How could she not know? She had known Shen Siyi for many years and had fought with her for many years. She knew what kind of person she was.
"After you get clean clothes from the nun, don't go back to your room. Just keep walking straight along this path until you see an arched doorway, then turn left..."
Qin Wan quietly explained the route to the back mountain. This nun and Shen Siyi must be in cahoots. Shen Siyi splashed ink on herself; there must be a conspiracy going on.
However, whatever their schemes may be, that room is absolutely off-limits.
Wan Shuang found it strange. Miss had never been to the backyard of Leishan Temple before. This was where the nuns lived. How did Miss know so much about this?
"Remember, don't let anyone find out!"
"Yes, I understand!"
"Miss Qin, we've arrived!"
The nun clasped her hands together and bowed to Qin Wan, saying, "Please trouble Miss Qin to wait here for a moment. Please come with me to fetch a set of plain clothes!"
Qin Wan nodded, and Wan Shuang understood, so she followed the nun.
Inside a room not far away.
"Has Qin Wan come inside?"
"She's inside. Miss Shen can rest assured about what Senior Sister is doing!"
A wicked smile flashed across Shen Siyi's lips as she tossed a heavy purse to another nun.
"This is only a small part. If things go well, you will definitely get your share!"
