No one spoke.

Under the peach blossom forest and on the roof, the gorgeous man was stained with the wind and moon, and looked down at Jiang Li.

His smile was also a little evil, but he couldn't tell whether he was an enemy or a friend, whether he was right or wrong.

However, tong'er, who has been in a daze, couldn't help asking in doubt at the moment: "... Flower fairy?"

This man is handsome like a demon or an immortal, and his bearing is too dazzling. It's really a trance.

Before Jiang Li could speak, she heard a sudden noise outside. Jiang Li's heart was cold, and then she looked up at the roof, but she saw that the beautiful young man on the roof had disappeared, leaving only slightly shaking peach blossom branches, as if she had a long spring dream.

Tong'er was also surprised. He rubbed his eyes and said, "the maid is not dreaming, is she?"

Jiang Li said, "it's not a dream, but now..." she listened to the voice of people getting closer and closer, and the corners of her mouth hooked, but she didn't care about the doubts just now, and said, "let's go to the Buddhist hall and kneel."

Tong'er was surprised and puzzled about more things now, so he didn't ask much. He went to the Buddhist hall with Jiang Li and knelt in front of the mud Bodhisattva, and the plate of fruit was also put back. As soon as the two knelt down, they heard lively voices outside, and someone was slapping the door of the nunnery.

The sound of knocking on the door startled the nuns in the nunnery. Someone went to open the door. The lanterns in the nunnery lit up in turn. The voices outside were getting louder and louder. Jiang Li calmed down and tong'er knelt.

Suddenly, someone rushed into the Buddhist hall, headed by a mother holding lanterns. She didn't seem to expect that there would be two people kneeling in the Buddhist hall. After all, it was so late that she rushed behind her and said, "madam, there are two nuns here."

From behind the man, they came to the front line, including ladies and men, all dressed in rich and noble clothes. The "madam" that mammy called was a gentle woman with fair complexion and slim figure. She came forward and saw Jiang Li stunned for a moment, then shook her head at the Mammy and said, "she's not a nun, she still has hair, and I'm afraid she's a servant girl."

Jiang Li was surprised to see a group of people burst in. Her long hair was dark, her lining face was more pale, her thin body was gathered in the gray corset, and her eyebrows and eyes were safe and peaceful. Although she looked weak, she looked more beautiful and indisputable under the Bodhisattva seat. She looked extremely warm and pure, which made people easily feel good.

Xu felt sorry for her young age. The lady even softened her voice and asked softly, "little girl, why are you here so late?"

Jiang Li said, "I made a mistake. Abbess asked me to kneel here and meditate."

The men and women who came were very surprised. Someone said angrily, "what's wrong with a little girl who has to kneel in the Buddhist temple so late and hurt her body? Don't you say that her family is merciful? Why is she so vicious!"

Tong'er's eyes turned. At this moment, she came cleverly, and immediately changed a sad look, saying, "it's the maid. The maid accidentally broke the plate when serving vegetarian dishes to the girl yesterday. Abbess Jing'an said to let the girl and the maid kneel in this Buddhist temple." She wiped her tears again. "Slaves are nothing, but we girls, we girls haven't eaten for a day."

As soon as these words came out, these people immediately looked angry and interrogated. Since they came to the temple to worship the Buddha, these people are naturally "people with good hearts". Seeing the little girl being bullied, they must be angry.

There was only humanity: "no wonder, no wonder it would do such a disgrace. It was clearly a malicious demon Ni."

"Not bad."

Jiang Li looked around and didn't see the nuns in the nunnery, so she wondered, "excuse me, where are the little masters in the nunnery?"

With these words, the men and women in front of them all showed different looks, as if it was hard to speak.

At first, the gentle woman who talked with Jiang Li looked at Jiang Li and asked tentatively, "this girl doesn't seem to be in the nunnery."

"My miss is the second Miss Jiang of the Jiang family in Yanjing." Tong'er answered crisply.

"Jiang family?" Another young lady smelled the speech, her eyes moved, and asked, "but the first assistant, Mr. Jiang Yuanbai's Jiang family?"

"Exactly!" Tong'er answered yes.

"How is this possible?" The young lady looked younger than Jiang Li. She hesitated and said, "I only know that there is a third miss in the Jiang family, Jiang Youyao, but I don't know that there is a second miss."

As soon as the words "Miss Jiang Er" came out, the young ladies were quiet, but the ladies had their own thoughts. Eight years ago, Yan Jingdu knew that Miss Jiang Er pushed down Mr. Jiang's stepwife to have a miscarriage. However, it took too long. After hearing that Miss Jiang ER was sent to the family temple to cultivate rules, she had not returned to Beijing for many years and had not seen her. Naturally, she couldn't remember it.

I didn't expect to see you here.

In front of her, Jiang Li, the second miss of Jiang, was not as vicious as the rumored murderer of her younger brother's first mother's life. Kneeling in the Buddhist hall, could such a thin and docile appearance poison her second mother? No one believes it!

People are always more willing to believe what their eyes see.

Jiang Li stared at the lady who spoke to her first, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Madam... Is it Mrs. Liu from Lord Lang Liu's house in Chengde?"

The lady was stunned and asked, "does the girl recognize me?"

Jiang Li lowered her head, seemed to be embarrassed, smiled and said, "many years ago, during the peony festival, my wife once came to the house to admire peonies, and the little girl still remembers."

Mrs. Liu heard the speech, thought a little, and said, "not bad." Looking at Jiang Li, her eyes became softer. "It's hard for you to remember."

Mrs. Liu Yuanfeng, the wife of Chengde Lang Liu Yuanfeng, was very close to Ye Zhenzhen, the biological mother of Jiang Li. When ye Zhenzhen married to Yanjing City, she also had many contacts with Mrs. Liu. Later, ye Zhenzhen died and left Jiang Li. Mrs. Liu often visited Jiang Li because she missed her friends.

But then Ji shuran came in, and Mrs. Liu didn't come back to visit Jiang Li. Gradually, the relationship became weak. The peony festival mentioned by Jiang Li should be the last time Mrs. Liu saw Jiang Li. Now it was raised by Jiang Li. Mrs. Liu immediately saw the appearance of her friend Ye Zhenzhen who had died early.

Mrs. Liu looked carefully at Jiang Li in front of her. She wondered if she felt guilty about her friend. Looking at the girl in front of her, Mrs. Liu felt more and more cordial and gentle. She said, "did Lord Jiang send you here?"

Jiang Li nodded slightly.

"You are the daughter of the Jiang family in Yanjing city. You are the biological daughter of Mr. Jiang. How can you live in such a place? In the low tide of early summer, you kneel all night and get sick? It is clear that someone is deliberately making trouble. Miss Jiang, come back to Yanjing with me tomorrow." Mrs. Liu suddenly said.

Tong'er's eyes lit up when she knelt on the ground. Mrs. Liu's words meant to show Jiang Li's head. Jiang Li was left behind after being left in Qingcheng Mountain for so many years. Now Mrs. Liu is at least an official's wife. Mrs. Liu said that it's nothing now. When she returns to Yanjing, she will say a few words around your ladies. It's difficult to ensure that it won't reach Jiang Yuanbai's ears. Jiang Yuanbai will naturally think of the daughter who was thrown in the nunnery.

However, after Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she didn't hear the desired answer. The girl in front of her heard the speech, raised her head and looked at her in surprise. It seemed that there was a flash of joy, but she immediately became hesitant. Then she shook her head firmly and said, "thank you for your kindness, but I'm afraid it won't work."
