C30

This voice was surprisingly familiar. Although it had a trace of unfamiliar hoarseness to it, the heart-wrenching pain once again surfaced in his heart. Jin Lan was in a trance, buried deep within his heart. All of a sudden, those things he had long forgotten were pulled out and displayed before his eyes.

Yulan tree full of white as early snow, the nose of the lingering fragrance of warmth, and the figure of Yun Zhi jade tree, also illusionary and real. However, the love that was intertwined into his bones became more and more blurry. In the end, it turned into a room full of scarlet, shocking to the eye.

This debt should be ended. She definitely would not have anything to do with him in this life!

Jin Lan bit his lips as his cold fingers curled into fists, trying his best to maintain his calm. Fortunately, Madame SHen and Hui Xiu's attention was on the outside of the carriage, and Bi He was blocked behind her, so no one noticed her abnormal behavior.

As the deep voice sounded, the lady in red flicked her wrist, and the whip suddenly swept towards Li San's head. Like a spirit serpent, it coiled back to her slender arm with a whoosh.

Li San felt a chill on his head, a few strands of jet-black hair floated down from his eyes, his back could not help but feel a chill, to think that this lady was actually a practitioner! But he had always been honest and bold, and when he thought of his wife and girls in the car, the chill in his back disappeared. He stood there without moving and used his body to block the door as he said loudly, "You dare to commit murder in broad daylight? Are there still any laws?"

Li San's words were treated as provocation when they fell into the woman in red's ears, and the anger that was forcefully suppressed couldn't help but surge up again. She narrowed his eyes and stared fiercely at Li San, but didn't dare to act again easily. Thus, he turned around and pouted towards the carriage, "Senior Brother."

It was as if the people in the car could not hear the woman in red's alluring words as they faintly uttered two words, "Noiseless."

Although his voice was soft, there was an unquestionable tone in it. The red-clothed female was immediately speechless, he suddenly turned and glared at Li San fiercely, he stomped his feet and sat back down in the driver's seat, his face filled with grievance.

Li San was confused, he did not know why the other party suddenly acted in reverse, but he continued to vigilantly watch his movements. The lady and the young lady had specially picked a horse carriage to look simple, although it was marked with Ye Mansion, there were many families surnamed Ye in the Yangzhou City, thus he was not able to tell that it was a carriage from the history of the Salt Clan. Li San thought, if there was anything wrong, he would immediately say the old master's name.

There was a market not far from the west gate. Usually, the merchants and servants who lived in the west suburbs would bring their own things to the market to exchange for money, and there were also quite a few families like Jin Lan and the rest that wanted to reach the Lingji Temple early today. There weren't many pedestrians in the early morning, so they naturally didn't think much of it. However, as the sun rose higher and higher, the surroundings gradually became lively. The two horses became an obstacle to entering and exiting the city.

Perhaps she didn't want to delay any longer, the voice from the carriage sounded again, "I am still young, please forgive me …" Before he could finish his sentence, he heard an extremely weak groan. There was no sound from the car at all.

The originally wronged woman in red instantly changed her expression and whispered, "Senior-apprentice Brother!" He raised the horsewhip in his hand and whipped it against the horse's butt. He then rushed towards the city gate. The pedestrians on the road hurriedly dodged as they were afraid they would be trampled by the horse's hooves.

Li San looked at the horse carriage that was gradually getting further and further away, and then turned towards the Madame SHen and said: "Madam, that man has left."

Although the Madame SHen could not see what was happening inside the carriage, she had been paying attention to what was happening outside. Upon hearing that the other party had left, she did not care and said to Li San: "That's right, you should first check if you can leave or not."

"Yes." Li San replied, he got off the carriage to check the place he was hit, and replied after a while: "Reporting to Madam, the carriage has loosened."

Madame SHen frowned, Hui Xiu saw that and quickly asked: Can you cultivate it?

Li San knocked on the axle, it sounded like it was good, it did not crack, and immediately replied: "I can cultivate it, but it will take me some time."

I think that this is the only way, if I let someone return to the house to call a carriage, I'm afraid it will take even longer. Madame SHen muttered to herself for a moment, then ordered Li San: "Move the carriage to the side first, quickly fix it, don't delay it for too long."

Li San replied as he carefully moved the carriage to the side of the road to make space for pedestrians. After he stopped, he casually took out a cloth bag from under the driver's seat, which contained a simple tool, and quickly got off the carriage to play with it.

At this time, Madame SHen finally noticed the paleness of Jin Lan's little face. His heart couldn't help but tighten, and he reached out to pull her into his embrace.

Madame SHen vaguely remembered that Jin Lan had struck his hand. Without waiting for Jin Lan to answer, he grabbed her wrist and lifted his sleeve gently. When he got to her elbow, Madame SHen couldn't help but exclaim out loud, "It's actually struck so heavily!"

Jin Lan lowered his head to look and could not help but take in a breath of cold air. Although he had thought about the amount of bruises and the waves of pain that came from where he had hit, he did not expect it to be this tragic! Her elbow was almost entirely covered in a bluish-purple color. Compared to the white and delicate part of her arm, it was even more shocking.

Madame SHen's eyes immediately turned red, she had been so focused on the outside that she had forgotten about her daughter. Now that she saw such a large scar, how could she not feel guilty?

Jin Lan vaguely caught a glimpse of tears that flickered in her eyes. He forced out a smile and said softly, "Mother, don't worry. Although the wound looks frightening, it doesn't hurt much."

"How can it not hurt?" Madame SHen interrupted her, her tone filled with remorse and heartache. "Let's not go to Lingji Temple for now. Hurry back to the residence and ask for a doctor to come take a look."

"Mother." If she really went back, everything that she did before would be in vain. She quickly sat up straight, gritted her teeth and endured the intense pain as she moved her elbow, pretending as if nothing had happened: "Look, isn't this all right? "I originally planned to go today, but I suddenly stopped. Bodhisattva will blame me for being dishonest."

Madame SHen held her in her arms, her voice trembling a little. "What are you doing?

Hearing Madame SHen's voice, Jin Lan choked with emotions. His heart quivered and he immediately lay in Madame SHen's embrace, not daring to move at all.

Hui Xiu and Bi He watched on from the side and were also extremely worried about Jin Lan's injuries. It was just that as Madame SHen and Jin Lan were talking, it was not appropriate for them to interrupt. Seeing that the Madame SHen was upset, Hui Xiu advised: "Madam, how about we have Li San look for a doctor for the young lady?"

Madame SHen wiped the corner of her eyes and sighed: "That's the only way."

Hui Xiu then got out of the carriage and spoke with Li San, Li San fixed the axle, and then drove the carriage to a nearby infirmary. When Jin Lan got off the carriage, he brought along his Drapery Cap, which he used to treat and apply medicine, and only started off at noon. As they left the city gate and headed west, the pedestrians gradually dwindled, and the carriages sped up.

The Lingji Temple was located on a mountain in the western suburbs of the Yangzhou City, and although it was very remote, the scenery was clear. Even though the mountain gate was small, the great hall was spacious and open, and there was a Pond of Life before the temple. It was said that the Bodhisattva of Lingji Temple was extremely effective, and a great amount of incense was burning hot, so many rich and powerful families came as well. Seeing that the mountain road was bumpy and difficult to traverse, these rich and noble pilgrims donated their money to repair the mountain path and expand it further, benefiting themselves and making it convenient for others. Thus, at the foot of the mountain, there was an achievement tablet with rows and rows of names engraved on it. All of them were pilgrims who had spent money to repair the mountain path.

Since it was the Christmas of the Kitigarbha Buddha tomorrow, there were many people who came to pay their respects. When Ye Mansion's carriage reached the foot of the mountain, the pilgrims had already lined up in a line.

Now that he had applied the medicine on Jin Lan's elbow, he felt the coolness and comfort, and his brows relaxed. At this moment, he carefully lifted a crack in the air to look outside, and upon seeing the dense crowd, he immediately frowned.

Madame SHen glanced outside through the gap, "Even if I have to stay in the temple for a few days, I don't mind waiting for this little bit of time."

Jin Lan thought about it, felt that the Madame SHen was right, smiled and nodded. Actually, this was not the first time she had come to the Lingji Temple. In her previous life, she had accompanied Concubine Shao for several times to burn incense. It was her first time back after she was reborn, so she was accompanying Madame SHen again.

The Madame SHen looked at her daughter who was smiling so much that her eyes were curved and bent, her intelligent eyes flickered, causing her heart to move. Unconsciously, she said a sentence: "Lan Er, the rumors in the palace, you did it, right?"

The smile on Jin Lan's face stiffened. Madame SHen's words were definitely not a question. She retracted her hand and the curtain let out a soft 'pa' sound before falling back down.

Hui Xiu and Bi He felt that the atmosphere inside the carriage had become heavy and depressing.

Madame SHen saw his daughter's silent face and sighed. She reached out her hand to pull her hair, which was a little messy from being blown by the wind, behind her ears and said softly, "I am not blaming you.

Jin Lan looked up and saw the worry on Madame SHen's face. His heart was bitter, and he said calmly: "Mother, don't worry, Lan Er will not be so reckless in the future."

That's right, all the rumors in the mansion would come true, and she had contributed a great deal to it. The other day, she had told Mu Lan to find a chance to talk with the Old Lady Zhao who was guarding the outer courtyard and also intentionally revealed some "internal affairs". This Old Lady Zhao's personality was not bad, only her mouth was a bit broken, and she liked to exaggerate things a little, if she said everything, the dead would be able to talk about it, and with her to spread the word, would she worry about not causing trouble?

Furthermore, Wan Ju's disappearance was still a thorn in her heart. Even though she might not be able to find the person after leaving the residence, she had to at least give it a try.

Step by step, they arrived at the top of the mountain. Li San parked the carriage amongst a pile of BMW carts, and the Madame SHen got off with Jin Lan. Of course, before they got off the carriage, Jin Lan had Drapery Cap mounted on his head. Hui Xiu and Bi He surrounded the two of them and walked towards the temple, while Li San stayed behind to move the carriage to a suitable place.

Jin Lan and his men had just arrived at the main door, but before they could step through, they saw a human figure flying towards them with a 'swoosh' sound.
