The carriage creaked forward, and after a while, it went out of the city gate and onto the official road.

After turning a corner, the carriage walked slowly along the path, and in front of it was the nunnery on the outskirts of Beijing.

"Miss, it's here!"

The coachman shouted outside, and Jiu'er opened the curtain and looked around, then jumped out of the carriage and said, "Miss, it's already here." ”

Xia Mengning took Jiu'er's hand and walked out of the carriage, and only after standing firm did she observe the surrounding environment.

The nunnery is not well-known, so it is not large, and no one comes to visit. But this nunnery is quiet and independent, which makes people feel otherworldly, isn't this exactly what the monks want?

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "The Fang clan is meditating here, I don't know if he has been influenced by the Buddha?" ”

Jiu'er was silent, and Xia Mengning said, "Go in." Then he turned to the coachman and said, "I'll go in and come out in a while, and you wait here." ”

The coachman is from the Prime Minister's Mansion, seeing Xia Mengning say this, he nodded hurriedly, Jiu'er took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and threw it over, "Good life look." ”

The coachman worked in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it was also a low-level errand, and the monthly silver was only a hundred copper coins a month, and now that he could see such a large piece of broken silver, his eyes immediately straightened, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "Miss Xie San, Miss Xie San......"

Xia Mengning took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth, did not make a sound, and went in with Jiu'er.

As soon as I entered the nunnery, I saw a large water tank in the center, surrounded by closed meditation rooms, and no one walked around. At this moment, a voice came from behind itself, "Who are the two donors looking for?" ”

Xia Mengning and Jiu'er turned their heads, and saw a person who looked like a little nun standing in front of them with his hands folded, and asked respectfully.

Jiu'er hurriedly said: "Little master, this is the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

The little nun was shocked and bowed, "Amitabha, the poor nun has seen the third young lady." ”

As early as when Xia Mengxi came here, Xia Mengning dragged Xiao Liuzi to give a lot of sesame oil money here, in order to let them take good care of Xia Mengxi, and now this little nun obviously knows Xia Mengning's identity, not only her face has become respectful, but even her tone has become enthusiastic from the initial indifference.

Xia Mengning was bored in his heart, but he also had to admit that even if he escaped into Buddhism, he still had to look at Qian's 'face'.

"The little master doesn't have to be polite, I came here today to visit the old man, I wonder if the little master can lead the way?"

When the little nun heard this, she immediately knew what it meant, and when she turned to the side, she stretched out her hand and said, "Third Miss, please!" ”

Xia Mengning followed the little nun to turn left and right, and finally stopped in the backyard of the nunnery.

Although the scale of this nunnery is not large, but all the way over, the meditation room in front of it is clean and tidy, Xia Mengning looked at the meditation room in front of him, the simple door and the messy firewood in front of the door, and knew that the life of Fang's mother and daughter here must not be very good.

The little nun stopped, turned around and said, "Third Miss, this is it." ”

Jiu'er stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and said, "You go down first, let's go in and talk and leave." ”

As he spoke, he took out a heavy purse from his sleeve and handed it over, "This is the sesame oil money that our young lady gave to the nunnery." ”

The nun smiled and stretched out her hand to take it, and couldn't stop thanking her.

Xia Mengning took Jiu'er's hand and walked into the room, Fang was sitting on a stool with his eyes closed, not noticing that someone was coming here.

Xia Mengning looked around at the furnishings in the room, seeing that it was all old furniture and simple beds, her eyes moved to Fang's body, and saw that Fang's originally round face had sunk into it, and it was as thin as skin and bones, Xia Mengning chuckled a few times and said, "Fang's family, don't come unharmed." ”

This greeting seemed to startle Fang, and when Fang opened his eyes, he saw Xia Mengning standing in front of him.

The girl was wearing a azure cloak, combing her half-hanging bun, and the glazed white hosta on the bun faintly flashed with a bright luster, reflecting the cloud-like hair, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.

Fang couldn't help but grit his teeth, this Xia Mengning's dress was actually more like a concubine than a concubine, why, she was just a concubine.

Thinking of this, Fang Shi snorted coldly, "Third Miss is a rare guest, but I don't have anything to entertain Third Miss here, Third Miss should please go back." ”

Xia Mengning shook her head, walked aside with a light smile, Jiu'er immediately stretched out her handkerchief on the stool, Xia Mengning sat down elegantly, and said with a smile: "It's really too much to ask the concubine of the dignified general's mansion to come to this kind of place to spend the rest of her life." ”

Fang Shi watched Xia Mengning sit down, his eyes almost burst into flames, but it was only for an instant, he calmed down again, and said with a smile: "Xia Mengning, you don't have to taunt me here, Xi'er has already had a marriage contract with the prince, and when the time comes, see how you can be arrogant." ”

When Xia Mengning heard this, she deliberately took the handkerchief and laughed a few times, her eyes were full of mockery, "What? Don't you know that the prince intended to rebel and has been exiled by the emperor's decree to Longnan, my poor eldest sister also went together because of the marriage contract, this time, I don't know when I will be able to come back, maybe it will be more than ten years, or it may be a lifetime. ”

As he spoke, Xia Mengning looked out the window and said, "Huh? At this hour, I'm afraid it's already on the road. ”

Fang Shi panicked, "Impossible, how could it be, you lie, Xi'er is impossible......"

Xia Mengning stood up and walked to Fang's side as if he was concerned, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, my eldest sister and I are also sisters, how can I bear to watch my eldest sister, who has been pampered since childhood, suffer these things, so I spent a lot of money to let people take care of the eldest sister on the road." ”

After saying this, Fang's face turned pale, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the hem of Xia Mengning's clothes, and screamed, "Who is it? What did you let them do, and what did you make them do to Xi'er......"

Xia Mengning turned around, grabbed Fang's arm tightly, looked at her and said, "Naturally, there are some singles who have never married a wife in their lives, the eldest sister is beautiful, she can't follow the prince, it's not bad to follow them!" ”

After speaking, Xia Mengning shook off Fang's hand fiercely, and Fang's was defenseless and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Xia Mengning took Jiu'er's hand and took a step back, looked at Fang's face, and sorted out the hem of her clothes with a smile.

Fang Clan had already gotten up from the ground, pointed at Xia Mengxi and said, "How can you be so ruthless, you are so ...... Sooner or later, there will be retribution......"

Xia Mengning nodded, looked at Fang Shi and said, "It's really worthy of being a mother and daughter, the eldest sister also told me this sentence when she returned home." ”

After Xia Mengning finished speaking, he continued: "Fang, you have today, you can't complain about others, you have done all those pickled things before, do you think that no one really knows?!" ”

After speaking, he turned to Jiu'er and said, "Let's go!" ”

The two walked out of the door, Xia Mengning suddenly frowned, but did not stop his steps, the two turned a few corners and walked out of the nunnery.

Outside the nunnery, the coachman was sitting in the car squinting his eyes, and when he saw Xia Mengning's master and servant coming, he hurriedly jumped out of the car, Xia Mengning walked over, took Jiu'er's hand and walked into the carriage, and asked, "Has anyone been here just now?" ”

When the coachman heard this, he was a little puzzled, the eldest young master had just entered, and he would definitely meet the third lady, but the third lady asked herself again, and the coachman thought about it, and then he knew the twists and turns.

In this nunnery, it is the biological mother of the eldest young master, but the former eldest lady has not had a good relationship with the third lady, thinking of this, the coachman understood a lot, so he hurriedly nodded, "Back to the third young lady, the eldest young master has just come." ”

didn't say anything, just answered truthfully, Xia Mengning couldn't help but glance at him more, and said in his heart, he was a clever master.

Xia Mengning nodded, as soon as he came out of the house, he felt that there was someone in the dark, it turned out to be Xia Zhihan, so he must have heard what he said to the Fang clan.

Xia Mengning was slightly disdainful, Xia Zhihan's idea was not to be feared. Thinking of this, he nodded at Jiu'er, and Jiu'er shouted outside: "Go home!" ”

Xia Zhihan saw that Xia Mengning was gone, so he quietly walked out from behind the pyre and entered the house.

Fang's was still paralyzed on the ground, Xia Zhihan saw it, and hurriedly walked over to help her up, Fang's was stunned, and when he saw that it was Xia Zhihan, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed his arm, tears flowing, "Han'er, Xia Mengning said that your sister let the emperor order to be exiled with the prince, is this true?" ”

Xia Zhihan was ashamed when he saw Fang's appearance, but he still couldn't help but say it, so he had to nod, "The emperor's rebellion was known to the emperor, and he was arrested immediately." ”

When Fang Shi heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he fainted.

Xia Zhihan was frightened, hurriedly helped Fang Shi to lie down on the bed, and pinched her person hard, Fang Shi was woken up by pain, and when he saw Xia Zhihan, he cried again.

"Xi'er, why is she so miserable......

Xia Zhihan is also very heartbroken, he and his sister have had a good relationship since childhood, and they wanted to just use her once, but this time they actually caused her to be exiled, besides, Xia Mengning also said that she would not let her go so easily.

Xia Zhihan also became sad when he thought of this.

Fang Shi cried for a while, and suddenly asked, "Han'er, how are you, have you been implicated?" ”

Xia Zhihan shook his head, his tone was slightly decadent, "The marriage contract between the prince and Xia Mengning is destined to tie the mansion and the mansion together, so this time it was not implicated." ”

When Fang heard this, he was immediately surprised, "Marriage contract? What marriage contract? ”

Xia Zhihan looked ashamed, "It was Xia Mengning and the prince, the emperor personally decreed the marriage, and for Xia Mengning's background, he raised Ge's wife to his wife." ”

"What?!"

When Fang Shi heard this, he only felt a surge of anger in his chest, rushing straight to his throat, and his head began to ache faintly. "Wow!"

Fang's body pounced forward, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, Xia Zhihan was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Fang Clan, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Fang Shi coughed a few times and said, "Ge Shi, a slut, can actually sit in the position of a flat wife, why?" Why? These two sluts ......"

As he spoke, he fainted again.

Xia Zhihan was stunned for a moment, shook Ge's body and said, "Mother, mother......"

Fang Shi was angry after all, but there was no other major problem, he woke up slowly, Xia Zhihan hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it over, Fang Shi took a sip, and then he got better.

"Mother, don't be angry, the matter has come to this, Xia Mengning and Ge's power in the mansion are now in full swing, and it's useless for you to be angry again."

Fang Shi listened, but he was silent, and after a while, he said: "Han'er, these hatreds will all fall on you in the future, remember, you must not let go of Xia Mengning's mother and daughter." ”

Xia Zhihan nodded, and Fang said again: "I want to go back to the mansion and see the old lady." ”

Xia Zhihan was stunned, "See the old lady?" ”

Fang nodded, "Now, we only have this one way back, Han'er, you must remember to avenge me and your sister!" ”
