By the time Qin Yujin looked back and realized that Nian Ruxue hadn't followed, she had already disappeared from sight.

Qin Yujin thought she shouldn't have invited Nian Ruxue to get in the carriage or she should have stayed with her, making everyone a little unhappy.

However, being held by Old Lady Xing, Qin Yujin couldn't leave, so she found an opportunity to tell a maid to find out where Nian Ruxue was, and let her know she could use a carriage from the Qin Mansion if she wanted to go back home.

Qin Yujin and Lin Xueqing were both by Old Lady Xing's side, walking ahead. Su Liang deliberately slowed down, and Xing Yusheng noticed after walking a bit, then stopped to wait for her.

When Su Liang reached Xing Yusheng's side, she was already a distance away from Old Lady Xing.

She straightforwardly asked Xing Yusheng, “Why do you keep sneaking glances at Xueqing?”

Xing Yusheng's face stiffened, and then turned bright red. Was it that obvious? He thought no one had noticed…

Su Liang looked at Xing Yusheng, “Don't be nervous, think it over, and speak up. I don't intend to beat you up.”

Xing Yusheng: ..

At this point, Su Liang walked ahead, and Xing Yusheng still stood there, dumbfounded.

Su Liang looked back, and Xing Yusheng quickly caught up, asking her, “Did you know Miss Lin for a long time?”

“Yes. Ning Jing and her could be considered childhood sweethearts? He learned from Xueqing's father.” Su Liang said.

This was true, except the current Ning Jing was fake.

Xing Yusheng was surprised, “I see. So, you must have met her in Pingbei City, right?”

Su Liang nodded, “We lived together for a while at that time, but we didn't let anyone know because of your sensitive identity.”

Xing Yusheng understood. At that time, he was Crown Prince Bei Jingwang, and Ning Jing had taken his identity.

If people knew that Ning Jing was Lin Shuzhi's disciple, it might involve the Lin Family in case Bei Jingvvang Mansion had any incidents. After all, Lin Xueqing's two older brothers were both in the official circles, with promising futures, and their competitors wouldn't miss any opportunities to bring them down.

Considering this, Su Liang's relationship with Lin Xueqing was even closer than what Xing Yusheng thought.

But the phrase “childhood sweethearts” made Xing Yusheng couldn't help but ask, “Are Young Master Ning and Miss Lin just fellow disciples or…?”

“Just fellow disciples,” Su Liang didn't beat around the bush, “Why? Are you concerned about Ning Jing or Xueqing?”

“I thought so.” Xing Yusheng believed that Ning Jing was now completely indifferent, but if he had feelings, it would be towards Su Liang.

About Su Liang's question, Xing Yusheng looked at Lin Xueqing's figure ahead and decided to tell the truth, “My uncle and my grandmother both think Miss

Lin and I are very well-suited and want to promote this marriage.”

“No wonder.” Su Liang was right. Old Lady Xing came today to see Lin Xueqing.

“What do you think?” Xing Yusheng asked seriously. Su Liang was Lin Xueqing's good friend and also an important friend of Xing Yusheng. He highly valued her opinion.

Su Liang countered, “Is it just the elders' opinion? What do you think?”

Xing Yusheng sighed lightly, “I think Miss Lin is very good, but I feel like I don't have any talents and am not worthy of her.”

Su Liang laughed, “The Lin family has three top scholars, but Xueqing isn't one of them. It's your family background that shelters you. You don't have any ambitions for a career, and Xueqing just wants to find a good husband and live a peaceful life. Marriage can be purer without worrying too much.”

Upon hearing this, Xing Yusheng's face relaxed, “So, you think we're a good match?”

Su Liang shook her head, “I just said my opinion, but I'm an outsider. Xueqing may not be interested in you, and her brothers will have their own considerations.

Xing Yusheng nodded, “That's true. But hearing your affirmation, I'm half relieved.”

“Are you in a hurry to get married?” Su Liang teased Xing Yusheng.

Xing Yusheng's face turned slightly red, “It's a matter of time. The elders are very concerned, and I think it's a good idea to get married. At that time, I'll move out of the Marquis Mansion and live on my own. By the way, if you don't need the mansion I sent you, I can use it myself, so we can be neighbors.”

Su Liang: … Xing Yusheng had sincerely given her the mansion yesterday, fearing that she wouldn't accept it, but now he has a target and plans to take it back to live with his wife.

Xing Yusheng clearly has a crush on Lin Xueqing.

“Um, if you need it, just forget what I said.” Xing Yusheng realized what he had just said and felt a little awkward.

Su Liang shook her head, “I don't want it anymore. You keep it to marry your wife. I wish you success.”

Xing Yusheng couldn't help but laugh, “I accept your good wishes.”

Lin Xueqing looked back, just as her eyes met Xing Yusheng's.

Xing Yusheng thought that Miss Lin became more beautiful the more he looked at her, indeed softer and cuter than Su Liang.

Lin Xueqing was thinking: What is this guy laughing at? Is he having that great of a time chatting with Su Liang? What's going on with Ning Jing? If he doesn't make a move, his wife-to-be will be taken by someone else!

Old Lady Xing went to offer incense.

Lin Xueqing prayed devoutly, hoping for the Buddha's blessing to keep her second brother safe.

Qin Yujin prayed for the safety of both Nian Jincheng and Lin Bojun. She liked Nian Jincheng, while Lin Bojun had once saved her.

“Won't you go and pray?” Xing Yusheng saw Su Liang standing outside the temple, not planning to go in.

Su Liang looked at the towering and majestic Buddhist statue inside and put her hands together, bowed slightly, but did not go in.

At this moment, the abbot of Huguo Temple appeared with a group of monks to deliver sermons to the believers.

Old Lady Xing listened to the sermon inside, accompanied by Qin Yujin and Lin Xueqing.

Xing Yusheng wanted to go inside but felt bad leaving Su Liang alone.

Following Su Liang's gaze, he saw a young monk with an exceptionally handsome appearance.

The monk also saw Su Liang and showed a surprised expression.

Xing Yusheng asked, “Do you know each other?”

Su Liang nodded, “Yes, we know each other. I didn't expect him to still be in

Huguo Temple.”

It was Cheng Yun. He had initially said that he had been ordered by his master to come to Huguo Temple to find his uncle and deliver scriptures. Su Liang thought he might have left by now, but it seemed that he had stayed in Huguo Temple.

“You go inside, ” Su Liang said, “You can chat with Xueqing and tell her that you and I are just friends.”

Xing Yusheng was puzzled, “Why?”

“She really hopes that I will be with Ning Jing, and she may misunderstand that you are pursuing me,” Su Liang said.

Xing Yusheng couldn't help but smile, “Alright. I will clarify this with Miss Lin.”

Su Liang sat on a stone stool outside the hall, looking at the clouds in the sky. The chanting of the old monk from behind filled the air with the fragrance of incense. For a moment, she felt as if she had returned to a previous life, a scene reminiscent of visiting an ancient temple.

When the chanting stopped, Su Liang heard footsteps approaching.

“Benefactor Su,” Cheng Yun came over.

Su Liang stood up, turned around, and said with a smile, “I thought you had left.”

Upon seeing her, Cheng Yun was delighted, “My master wrote to my uncle that he was going on a pilgrimage and asked me to stay at Huguo Temple. I didn't know until I arrived here.”

“Do you know that Zhengzheng is also in the capital city now?” Su Liang asked. Their true acquaintance had begun because of Zhengzheng.

Cheng Yun was somewhat surprised, “Really?”

“I'll tell Sister Wan when I go back and let her bring Zhengzheng to see you another day. She probably doesn't know you're here,” Su Liang said.

Cheng Yun waved his hand, “No need. Everything is fine here. If we are meant to meet again, we will.”

A little monk called for Cheng Yun, and he left.

Su Liang didn't mention Yan Shiba. It seemed that Yan Shiba, who had said he would come to find Cheng Yun, had not yet arrived.

Looking at the hall again, both Madam Xing and Qin Yujin were gone.

Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing were standing under an ancient pine tree not far away. Xing Yusheng was talking, and Lin Xueqing's expression was somewhat embarrassed.

Su Liang suddenly felt that she shouldn't have come today. It would have been better to help Ning Jing move house.

Seeing Qin Yujin's maid, Su Liang told her that she was going to stroll around the back mountain and asked her to call her when they were leaving.

Then, she began to walk towards the back mountain alone while enjoying the scenery.

A white figure appeared in her sight. As she approached, it was indeed Nian Ruxue. There was a man in luxurious brocade clothes in front of her, and the two seemed to be talking about something.

Su Liang intended to avoid them, but Nian Ruxue suddenly turned around and saw her, 'Miss Su!”

The man in brocade clothes followed her voice and looked over. His eyes fell on

Su Liang's face, and they suddenly deepened, “Who is she?”

Nian Ruxue forced a smile, “Your Highness, Second Prince, this is Miss Su

Liang, a very capable female doctor. She is currently treating Old Duke Qin!”

Second Prince Duanmu Ao? Su Liang's eyes shrank sharply, and she stopped trying to leave.

sne 100Kea at Duanmu AO. Altnougn ne ana Duanmu cnen were Drotners, tney had different mothers and did not resemble each other in appearance.

Duanmu Ao was tall and sturdy, with a square face, narrow eyes, and a hint of blue-black in the depths of his pupils.

“Miss Su, this is His Highness, the Second Prince.” Nian Ruxue could tell that Duanmu Ao's attention had shifted to Su Liang, and her smile became much more natural.

“Su, Liang? What relationship do you have with Su Yuanzhou?” Duanmu Ao finally remembered where he had heard this name before.

Su Liang remained composed, “Su Yuanzhou is my grandfather.”

Nian Ruxue was taken aback. She knew about Su Yuanzhou, but she never expected Su Liang to be a descendant of the Su Family.

It was said that all the family members of the Su Family had committed suicide out of guilt.

Duanmu Ao suddenly turned his gaze to Nian Ruxue.

Nian Ruxue's heart thumped. Encountering the unscrupulous lecherous Second Prince, she couldn't avoid him. If it weren't for Su Liang's appearance today, she didn't know how this situation would have ended.

“You step back. I have important business to discuss with Miss Su!” Duanmu Ao snorted coldly.

Nian Ruxue breathed a sigh of relief, “Yes.” As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and hurriedly ran away.

Su Liang stood still, watching Duanmu Ao stride over to her.

“I didn't expect that the Su Family would hide such a beauty.” Duanmu Ao's lascivious gaze swept over Su Liang, “If your grandfather had sent you to me back then, they wouldn't have had to die! Since you are alive now, be my woman! This is what the Su Family owes me!”

Su Liang's expression remained unchanged, “Second Prince, this is a pure and peaceful place for Buddhism. Please watch your words; it is not good to be seen by others.”

Duanmu Ao swallowed, “Little beauty, don't be afraid. Look around, who else is here?”

Su Liang narrowed her eyes and spoke softly, “It's good that no one is here.”

As Duanmu Ao reached out to touch Su Liang's face, she sidestepped and simultaneously dealt a fierce kick to his lower abdomen!
