Early in the morning.
Qin Luoxia arrived at Tai'a Temple.
Today, Qin Luoxia was dressed very neatly.
She wasn't wearing all white.
She liked to wear red for everyday wear.
Not the red of a primary wife, but a red that wouldn't show blood stains too obviously.
She wasn't afraid of blood stains.
Besides, red was lively.
Bright and prosperous.
Brother Cong said Elder Brother Zi liked lively things, so on the second day of the memorial service, Qin Luoxia wore red.
Lively.
She was tall, with a fit body from consistent exercise, big eyes and a high nose bridge, with well-defined lips. Her appearance was bright and bold.
Her eyebrows were thick, and her hair was neat and tidy.
When she arrived at the temple, she found that there were even more monks performing the service today, and they seemed to be striking the wooden fish with more sincerity.
Yesterday, she had noticed one or two monks just mouthing the words, not truly chanting sutras.
Today, everyone looked spirited and was chanting earnestly. The number of people had doubled, making it seem much more grand.
Qin Luoxia thought to herself, no wonder the monks in the Capital City make money.
Their attitude was impeccable.
In other places, people slack off after getting paid, or they work hard on the first day and then become perfunctory.
Indeed, she didn't step into thin air.
She walked in.
This time, instead of a pavilion, she saw a small lake.
As soon as she entered, she didn't feel the presence of a group of strong beasts like yesterday, but saw an old woman dressed oddly, plunging headfirst into the water.
"Whoa!"
How despondent must one be?
Wanting to jump into water to end it all in the dead of winter?
That's a very cold way to die.
Without thinking, Qin Luoxia jumped into the water (of course not), she threw out her long whip, instantly coiling around the old woman who had jumped in and pulling her back.
In a situation with unknown dangers, Qin Luoxia wouldn't jump into the water, putting herself in harm's way.
She pulled the old woman back and placed her on the grass.
She immediately started scolding: "Madam, you've lived to such an age, and you're still trying to end your life? You've wasted all these years!"
Princess Huiyun: ... Trembling with anger.
She just wanted to go winter swimming. Winter swimming, swimming in winter is very good for the body, maintains figure and curves.
What did she mean by 'lived to such an age'.
But because she was going into the water, all the guards had been sent elsewhere.
Qin Luoxia saw her shivering all over, thinking she was frozen, and took off her own red cape to wrap around the other.
Princess Huiyun, lifted up and wrapped into a roll: ...
Although she calls me madam, she's really more like a mother than my own mother o(╥_╥)o.
