Guang An Temple was located on the outskirts of the city. Although it was not famous, its reputation was very good. It was the first choice for madams and young misses who did not care about rankings or fame.
On the morning of the next day, Infanta Shiqing had already arrived early to look for Ji Yunkai, causing her to not even have time to eat breakfast.
Baoqin had long gotten used to the black spots on Ji Yunkai's face, and she did not find them as ugly as she used to.
"Why is the Infanta sitting here?" Ji Yunkai felt a headache incoming.
In her previous life, she must have owed the Xiao siblings a lot for her to meet them in this life.
Could these siblings just let her off the hook and let her have a peaceful time for once?
"I want to sit with you, Sister-in-law. Is that not okay?" Infanta Shiqing looked at Ji Yunkai timidly, as if she was afraid that Ji Yunkai would reject her.
Ji Yunkai secretly sighed and forced out a smile, "Of course, as long as the Infanta is happy."
Infanta Shiqing was not suited to look pitiful. Every time she saw her this way, she would feel an urge to laugh. Right now, she was barely holding in her laughter and was about to suffer from internal injuries.
"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. I like Sister-in-law the most!" Shiqing cheered happily. Like a child, she leaped into Ji Yunkai's embrace, hugging Ji Yunkai's waist without letting go. "Sister-in-law's body is fragrant, Shiqing likes it."
"Err..." Ji Yunkai's entire body stiffened. She did not dare move at all.
She was about to be strangled to death. The most important matter was that Infanta Shiqing was taller and stronger than her. Her holding her like this... would she be okay?
"Infanta, can we sit first?" Her waist was about to break, and she had no way to push Infanta Shiqing away.
Infanta Shiqing did not speak, but raised her head and said with a look of longing, "Sister-in-law, can you give me the hat? Shiqing likes it so much."
"Here, here." As long as she was willing to let go of her, let alone the hat, she would even give her money.
When she received the hat, Infanta Shiqing no longer bothered Ji Yunkai and sat by the side playing with the hat. Ji Yunkai took a glance at her and then retracted her gaze.
Infanta Shiqing's actions and words were completely like a little girl who had lost her mind. There were no flaws at all, but the more flawless it was, the more Ji Yunkai was wary of her.
She did not think that a woman, who could stand firm in the army, and a woman, who could quickly stabilize the situation after her brother became unconscious, would lose her mind so easily because of attempted rape.
Infanta Shiqing's actions seemed like it was a little girl playing around, but there was also a deeper meaning behind them.
For example, when Infanta Shiqing had hugged her just now, although she loved to pester her, she usually would not hug her. Now, she suddenly embraced her, and rather than hugging her, it was more like she was looking for something.
One's ignorance is their fault.
Thinking about the two groups of assassins from last night, Ji Yunkai no longer wanted to talk.
Those who were incapable, would not be able to protect themselves even if they had the world's most precious treasures. Fortunately, Xiao Jiu'an was proud and did not have the intention to retrieve the Heavenly Doctor's Divine Needle; otherwise, she could not guarantee that she would be able to protect it from him.
Along the way, Ji Yunkai pretended to be asleep and did not say a single word to Infanta Shiqing. No matter what Shiqing said, she pretended not to hear her as she slept inside the carriage.
After an hour, the carriage had arrived outside of Guang An Temple. Baoqin went forward to assist Ji Yunkai out and seeing Ji Yunkai's hat in Infanta Shiqing's hands, Baoqin did not say anything. She only ordered another maidservant to bring her another one.
Infanta Shiqing followed behind Ji Yunkai while bouncing around, the muslin cloth hanging down from the hat swayed back and forth. Her beautiful face was faintly discernible, and it was a captivating sight.
Although Infanta Shiqing and Xiao Jiu'an do not look alike, both siblings were indeed beautiful. One was handsome, and the other was beautiful. No matter which one of them was standing in the middle of the crowd, they would always be the center of attention.
It was a good thing that there were not many people outside Guang An Temple and that a few of them would occasionally look over, but would not dare to disturb them. After all, Ji Yunkai's party was very grand, and it was obvious that they were members of a rich family.
Ji Yunkai had someone greet the temple head yesterday. Just as they arrived at the entrance, a little monk came out to welcome them.
"Benefactor, please come in." Although the Little Monk was young, he had a solemn and merciful expression. No one dared to curse him.
Ji Yunkai followed the Little Monk inside, completing the mission that Xiao Jiu'an had entrusted to her. However, when she saw the serious expression on the Little Monk, Ji Yunkai's heart unconsciously calmed down, and she reverently followed the Little Monk inside.
The solemnness and seriousness of the temple would involuntarily affect people. Not just Ji Yunkai, but even Baoqin, and the other maidservants erased the smiles of their faces., their expressions solemn and their steps steady.
Only Infanta Shiqing was still like a little girl, bouncing around, playing around, and destroying the temple's solemness.
If Ji Yunkai had only been guessing on whether or not Infanta Shiqing was faking, then she was sure of it now.
Even an ignorant child, would still quiet down when they reach important areas of the Buddhist faith. Infanta Shiqing's act was too much.
Though she understood this in her heart, she still had to apologize, "I have disturbed His Holiness, please forgive me."
"Benefactor, there's no need to take it to heart." The Little Monk looked at her without any expression, without showing any signs of joy or anger.
"Sister-in-law, did I do something wrong?" Shiqing seemed to have sensed something, as she timidly and uneasily walked to Ji Yunkai's side. She pulled at her hand as if he was afraid that Ji Yunkai would be angry.
If she was a teenage girl, it would look cute and innocent; however, when Shiqing did it, she only felt tired.
If Shiqing was not tired, then she was.
"No, Infanta did very well. I think Infanta must be tired after walking all the way, let's go rest first." If it was said that she was slightly patient with Shiqing previously, then now, Ji Yunkai was completely impatient.
Who would be willing to play along with someone who was playing the fool?
She was not kind enough to be toyed with and laugh it off and say that she was fine.
Infanta Shiqing was too much.
"Oh..." Shiqing did not continue making trouble and obediently followed behind Ji Yunkai, going to the side room to rest.
After settling down Infanta Shiqing, Ji Yunkai changed her clothes and went to the Great Hall.
Although she came to Guang An Temple today because of Xiao Jiu'an's arrangements, it was the birthday of the original owner and also the anniversary of the original owner's mother's death. Since she came, she might as well light bright lanterns for them...
