Jialan Temple is in the quiet mountain outside Anyang City, and Anyang City is 100 miles away, because the distance is not close, it takes half a day to come and go.

Old Man Yan was concerned about Mrs. Yan's body, and it was not appropriate to travel for days, so he had to spend the night in the temple, so he sent a letter to Jialan Temple in advance.

Jialan Temple has always been deserted, few people go to the incense, because the little master in the temple is very enthusiastic, and the wing room will be cleaned out early in the morning for pilgrims to use.

After Master Yan made arrangements, he took advantage of the rest day to take the ladies of Yan's mansion out of the city and go to Jialan Temple.

On the way, Yan Yao, under the instruction of Wen, ran to Mrs. Yan's carriage to serve and be courteous.

But Mrs. Yan never wanted to see her, and she thought she was making trouble, so she drove her out of the car after a short time.

Yan Yao and Yan Ran hated each other, and they didn't want to ride with her, so they went to Wen's car.

Yan Ran occupied a wide carriage alone, very comfortable.

The carriage was moving slowly, Yan Ran was very bored, and took out the medical book to study it.

Qingxuan was afraid that Yan Ran would freeze, so she stuffed several hand stoves into the big stove she draped on her body, and took out a small charcoal stove to make hot tea.

Qingxuan was doing her work neatly with her hands and feet, and at the same time she opened the curtain from time to time to look out, looking sneaky.

Yan Ran asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qingxuan approached her and asked in a low voice: "Girl, you designed to smash the Jade Buddha, and brought disaster to the eldest prince, and almost fell into the way of the lady, is it just to go to Jialan Temple to ask for another Buddha statue?" ”

Seeing Qingxuan's curious and anxious appearance, Yan Ran deliberately teased her, pretending to read the book seriously, and did not answer.

Qingxuan pursed her mouth, and wanted to ask again, but suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and suddenly said: "Could it be that the girl's ultimate goal is to go to Jialan Temple?" ”

Yan Ran raised her head and said with a smile of approval: "Well, there has been progress, and I am a lot smarter!" ”

Qingxuan smiled suddenly, and was puzzled: "If the girl wants to go to Jialan Temple, she can go directly, why do you have to go so far?" ”

Yan Ran explained: "It's because you can't go directly, so it's necessary to rationalize this matter. I designed You'er to break the Jade Buddha and then help him take the blame, and finally the truth was revealed, and my grandmother would definitely look at me again. Only then did I have the opportunity to speak and guide her to go to Jialan Temple to seek Buddha, so as to achieve my goal. ”

Yan Ran designed Yan Qiyou to break the Jade Buddha, not only to find a scapegoat, but also to help him take the blame, so that Mrs. Yan would be soft on her and listen to her advice.

Qingxuan didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns, so she nodded as if she didn't understand, and asked, "Then, why did the girl go to Jialan Temple?" ”

Yan Ran said: "I went to Jialan Temple, but not for Jialan Temple. ”

Qingxuan was confused when she heard this, and looked at Yan Ran with blank and eager eyes, her heart was itching, and she was anxious to know the cause and effect: "Girl, don't sell it!" ”

Yan Ran smiled lightly and said slowly: "There is a Miao Xian Nunnery next to Jialan Temple, which was originally the place where Concubine Yun cultivated in the palace, but she took in many women who had nowhere to go, so this place of cultivation gradually became a nunnery. Since Concubine Yun is willing to take in those women, she is also a kind-hearted person, and if I tell me about the orphans, she will not sit idly by. ”

Qingxuan was even more puzzled: "But didn't Gongzi Su say that the second prince wants to settle those orphans, why does the girl have to help them find another place to go?" ”

Speaking of Xiao Zun, the faint smile on Yan Ran's face completely dissipated, and his eyes turned cold: "The second prince is not a good person, if those children fall into his hands, they will not have a good fate." And to stop him, there must be a man who is equal to him, or even more powerful. So, Concubine Yun is the best person I can get in touch with at the moment. ”

Qingxuan was a little worried, and said in a solemn voice: "However, if the second prince really has other plans to take in those orphans, and you stop it, if he knows, won't he retaliate?" He's a prince after all......"

Yan Ran patted Qingxuan's hand, and her voice was gentle but firm: "That's why I have to be cautious and cautious." ”

Qingxuan finally understood why Yan Ran came to Jialan Temple and why she went to such great lengths.

Although Qingxuan is worried, she always supports Yan Ran's decision, not to mention that she is still doing good deeds!

But in fact, Yan Ran was not as noble as Qingxuan thought.

Rescuing those children was just piggybacking, and her more important purpose was to make it impossible for Xiao Zun to establish Chu Shantang, thus cutting off his ears and eyes.

Xiao Zun is the prince, and he is also the prince who has the power to compete with the prince in every aspect, and his every move is naturally watched by people with a heart.

If he hadn't founded a charity hall in his previous life, it would have been difficult for him to have the opportunity to gather so many orphans and cultivate and use them.

Yan Ran has already taken the lead in this life, of course, she must take precautions, and will never give Xiao Zun a chance to be full-fledged!

The carriage traveled for an hour and arrived at Jialan Temple at noon.

They were received by the master in charge of the guest hall in the temple, and he apologized and said that Master Wuwei had a friend to visit, so he could not accompany him.

Mrs. Yan has the habit of taking a nap, and she feels tired after being bumpy on the road for so long, and it just so happens that Master Wuwei is not free at this time, so after lunch, she went to the wing room to rest first.

Everyone dispersed, and Yan Ran also returned to the room.

After a while, everyone else was resting, and the meditation courtyard was quiet.

Yan Ran put on a silver-white cloak, inquired with a little master about the location of the Jingshan Red Plum Garden, and quietly went out with Qingxuan.

The red plum garden is between Jialan Temple and Miaoxian Nunnery, there used to be only a few wild plum blossoms here, and later Concubine Yun came here to repair, and only then did she build this plum garden.

Yan Ran used the excuse of looking at plum blossoms, but in fact she wanted to explore the Miaoxian Nunnery next to her, revealing the orphan's affairs without a trace, and attracting the attention of Concubine Yun.

If Yan Ran wants to go to Miaoxian Nunnery, she has to pass through the Plum Garden.

The master and servant walked to a rockery in the plum garden, and suddenly heard some strange sounds coming from inside.

"Childe...... No...... Spare ......"

Because it was far away, the voice was intermittent and fragmented.

Yan Ran and Qingxuan glanced at each other, and their intuition was inappropriate, so they walked over with light steps, hidden in the corner of the rockery, and secretly looked over.

I saw a man trapping a woman between square inches, doing his hand and foot to her, and doing his best to tease.

The woman couldn't refuse, couldn't beg, didn't dare to shout, and shed tears aggrievedly.

And the woman was dressed in a gray-black robe, which was clearly the dress of a nun!

Yan Randen's anger started from it, in the pure place of Buddhism, there are people who dare to do such a dirty thing, which is really despicable!

Qingxuan suddenly whispered: "Frost?!" ”

Yan Ran was surprised: "Do you recognize her?" ”

Qingxuan nodded, and said hurriedly: "She is the maid who accidentally damaged the second girl's fan and was sold before, but I don't know why she appeared here." ”

Yan Ran is also a little strange, how could the maid who was sold out of the house leave home again?

But no matter what, seeing the woman being treated lightly, Yan Ran couldn't sit idly by.

She looked left and right, picked up a stone from the ground, and walked over with a menacing attitude.

The man heard footsteps behind him, and as soon as he turned his head, before he could see who it was, he felt a pain in his head, and he staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground.

Luoshuang was shocked and stunned, she never thought that the person who rescued her was the old master, and she was even more frightened by Yan Ran's crisp and neat movements.

Seeing that she was stunned, Qingxuan hurriedly stepped forward to grab her, and said anxiously: "Don't run yet!" ”

Falling Frost reacted at this time, and was about to raise his feet, but he paused again.

As soon as Yan Ran turned around, she was stopped by several fierce guard-looking people, and two other people stepped forward to help the dizzy man who was smashed by her.

Yan Ran was shocked, she didn't expect that this man was more than one person, and he also brought so many helpers and hid in the shadows!

It can be seen from this that this person should be either rich or noble, and it seems that this matter is destined to end well today.

Yan Ran was secretly annoyed that she underestimated the enemy, but the matter had come to this point, and there was no way out; Besides, even if she tries again, she will still come to the rescue.

The man was helped to his feet, raised one hand and rubbed his head, squinted at Yan Ran, and grinned an extremely cruel smile.

"Little lady, your strength is not small! But I like you like this, it's hard enough! Tsk, it's still a beauty, I didn't expect to be so impatient, and I was in a hurry to send it to the door! ”

Yan Ran didn't care about his foul language, protected Qingxuan and Luoshuang behind him, and retreated step by step under the man's persecution.

The man's smile twisted, and with a wave of his hand, the guards swarmed up and rudely dragged Qingxuan and Falling Frost out.

"Ah, girl!"

Qingxuan only had time to shout, and was slapped and fell to the ground, and suddenly felt a buzzing in her ears.

She tried to struggle, but as soon as she moved, she was slapped again, and then her mouth was covered again, and she couldn't even cry out in pain.

A scarlet appeared in Yan Ran's eyes, and the scene of Qingxuan being beaten to death in her previous life suddenly appeared in front of her, which made her heart ache.

Could it be that if she did it again, she still couldn't protect Qingxuan?

Seeing that the lewd man with a shiny face was about to come over, Yan Ran was angry in her heart, and reached out and touched the purse on her waist.

It's a big deal that the fish die and the net is broken, and they will all end up together!

Yan Ran's poison was almost about to be shot, when suddenly a few stones flew from nowhere, all of which hit the vital points of those people, causing them to fall to the ground.

The man in front of Yan Ran was also hit, and his eyes rolled up, this time he really fainted.

Before Yan Ran could react from this sudden escape from the predicament, she saw a flash in front of her eyes, and a white figure rolled up to her side like a gust of wind.

Then, she was wrapped in a slightly chilly embrace, and the faint sandalwood faintly brushed the tip of her nose.

Yan Ran suddenly felt that her heart was stable, and all her fear, anger, and desperateness turned into joy.

"Cousin! How did you end up here? ”
