"The woman next to him is his wife. She was the daughter of a butcher. But the butcher offended the lawsuit and she knelt in front of Yamen to beg. Unexpectedly, she met the Mo Jingran who was looking for fun with his friends. The lady was quite pretty, so he molested her and said as long as she married him, he would help her deal with her father's issue."
Yun Shang heard her and looked at the woman. She had a pretty face, but judging from her posture, she couldn't be gentle or virtuous.
"Everybody knows Mo family's reputation. Mo family's two elders heard that someone was willing to marry their son, so they quickly agreed without hesitation." The middle-aged woman tutted and continued, "but I didn't expect that even this little woman is beautiful, she is..." Seeing Yun Shang's face, the woman said quickly, "you are the most beautiful young man I have ever seen. My sister-in-law's daughter hasn't announced her marriage. She is also quite pretty. How about..."
In order to go out conveniently, Yun Shang dressed up as a man when she was out. Seeing that the middle-aged woman had no idea where her words came from, and was thinking of her, she quickly said: "I'm sorry, I has already been married." She got rid of her hand and went back to the carriage quickly.
Yun Shang turned around and saw Prince Jing looking at her with a smile. "What a perfect choice for everyone!"
Yun Shang knew that Prince Jing was making fun of her. She shot a stare at him and kept silent. Prince Jing laughed, "why don't you keep listening
t ride all the way there. So Yun Shang and Prince Jing got off the horse and walked up the mountain. They spotted the carriage that they came from Qianshui tower half way in the mountain.
When they entered the temple, Yun Shang smelled the familiar odour of sandalwood. They bought candlelight at random and walked towards a quiet place.
"Miss Jing and the crown prince of the state of Yelang are in a wing room at the back. Just now, there was a woman entering the wing room." The shadow guard reported.
And who was the other woman? Yun Shang thought to herself. Then she looked for the monk in the temple and said, "master, I'm a little tired with my friends. I'd like to have a rest in a wing room. Could you lead the way for us?" Yun Shang prayed in a gentle tone, putting her hands together.
The young monk looked at Yun Shang and Prince Jing, eyes full of amazement and admiration, and said, "yes, there are a few people who have come to worship today. A few rooms are empty in the wing. Please come with me."
