Chapter 36 Your father has long been in the coffin
"Madam, we have arrived at Guiyuan Temple!"
Yuan Yi stopped the carriage, opened the curtain, and extended his hand to invite his wife to get out of the car first.
Yuan Qing carried Wen Cheng'an to him and stepped on a stool to get out of the car.
Looking at the magnificent temple in front of him, Yuan Qing couldn't help but admire it.
Guiyuan Temple is located in the capital city and is particularly popular.
Moreover, because of the meaning contained in its name, it is respected by the royal family and aristocratic families.
Therefore, the emperor would come here in person every year to burn incense to show his sincerity.
Just by looking at the pilgrims coming and going, you can tell how popular this temple is.
Yuan Qing went out today dressed as an ordinary woman, so her clothes were not too exaggerated.
She led Wen Cheng'an and followed her mother slowly into the temple.
As soon as I entered the door, a young monk put down his work and came to greet me, "The abbot has been waiting for you for many days."
Lou Yin patted Yuan Qing on the shoulder and said, "You and An'er wait here for a while. Mom will be back soon."
Yuan Qing nodded and took Wen Chengan for a walk in the backyard.
There are not many pilgrims in the backyard, but most of them are regular customers who come to burn incense frequently, so the temple provides them with special rooms for rest.
A man in black clothes walked out from the corridor and looked straight at Yuan Qing who was standing under the tree, his eyes full of inquiry.
Yuan Qing was wearing a veil, so her face could not be seen clearly. The man in black seemed to want to see more clearly, so he walked a few steps towards her.
Wen Cheng'an was the first to notice this strange man and stared at him vigilantly.
What is this man always looking at my mother for?
His eyes rolled, and he threw himself into Yuan Qing's arms and shouted loudly, "Mother!"
The man in black stopped instantly.
People around looked over.
I didn’t expect that a girl who looks so young has a child this big?
Yuan Qing was completely confused. Why was An'er shouting at her so loudly? She was not deaf.
"Are you hungry, thirsty, or hot?"
Yuan Qing took out a handkerchief and wiped the non-existent beads of sweat from Wen Cheng'an's forehead.
Unexpectedly, Wen Chengan's mouth flattened and he complained, "Mother, why did you lie to An'er and say that Daddy would come back?"
Yuan Qing: "???"
Those were the words I used to coax him three years ago, why are you bringing them up now?
The man in black looked at Yuan Qing with a complicated expression.
Because Yuan Qing was facing away from him, she was so focused on Wen Chengan that she didn't notice that there was a strange man behind her.
But Wen Cheng'an saw the man's expression clearly.
Although I know that my mother is extremely beautiful, not everyone can covet her. Even the guy named Yuan is not qualified.
Then he opened his tearful eyes again, buried his head in Yuan Qing's arms, and sobbed softly, "Mom, do you not want Daddy anymore?"
Yuan Qing was even more confused and asked casually, "Which father are you?"
As if he noticed something was wrong, he asked again, "Where do you have a father?"
After saying that, he thought about it carefully and said, "Yeah, yes, you do have a father, but didn't your father go into the coffin a long time ago?"
The expression of the man in black behind him became more complicated, and there was even pity in his eyes when he looked at Yuan Qing.
The image of a pretty widow who lost her husband at an early age, raised her child alone and was a little crazy, instantly became clear in the man's mind.
Wen Cheng'an wiped away his tears and came out of Yuan Qing's arms with a look of disbelief.
Why doesn’t mother play by the rules?
Normally, shouldn't we coax him by telling him that daddy will be back soon?
In this way, he could continue talking about how loving and harmonious their family is, so that the man would give up.
did not expect……
Alas, I can’t carry it…
"Qing'er, why are you standing here?" Lou Yin raised his voice.
The man in black standing not far away saw Lou Yin, stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Changning greets Aunt Lou."
Lou Yin took a closer look and suddenly realized, "It turned out to be Xiao Ning. You have grown up so fast. Your mother is here too?"
Qu Changning nodded: "Mother came to the temple to burn incense and take a rest here."
As soon as he returned to Beijing, his mother dragged him to burn incense. He was so bored that he thought of taking a walk in the yard.
Thinking about it, he looked at Yuan Qing again.
It turns out that she is Yuan Qingqing, Aunt Lou's daughter.
No wonder she looks somewhat similar to the person in the portrait. If it is her, it would not be surprising.
But I haven't heard that she got married?
"Come on, take me to see your mother. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Okay, Aunt Lou, please come this way." Qu Changning stepped aside and led the way gentlemanly.
He brought them to where his mother was, knocked on the door gently and said, "Mother, Aunt Lou is here."
The lady inside hurriedly got up, opened the door, and hugged her good sister whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Yuan Qing took a closer look.
Oh my god, I ran into an acquaintance, it was Mrs. Rong, the wife of Marquis Cheng'en, whom I met once at a palace banquet.
After they finished hugging, Yuan Qing lifted her veil, lifted her skirt and walked over, nodding slightly, "Madam, we meet again."
Rong wanted to perform the ceremony, but Yuan Qing stopped her with her hand. "You can just call me Madam Qing when you are outside. Madam, there is no need to follow so many rules."
"Yes."
Qu Changning became even more confused by his mother's respectful attitude.
What exactly is Yuan Qingqing's current status that even her mother has to bow to her?
Rong invited them into the house. Because of Yuan Qing's identity, Rong seemed a little embarrassed.
Lou Yin took her good sister's arm and said casually, "Don't worry, sister. Treat Qing'er the same way you treated her in the past.
You're being so polite, it's a bit awkward."
Yuan Qing also agreed, "Mother is right. Could it be that Aunt Rong forgot about braiding my hair?"
One sentence instantly resolved the awkward atmosphere and brought the two people closer together.
Rong pulled Yuan Qing's hand up, looked at her face, and fell into memories.
She only gave birth to one son, Changning, so naturally she liked the little girl that Sister Lou had just given birth to.
When the girl was two years old, she couldn't wait to bring her to her own house and dressed her up in different styles every day, even though she only kept her for two days.
At that time, that bad boy over there said that he wanted to marry this little sister as his wife, but when he grew up, he forgot everything about her. Otherwise, she would have been enjoying her grandchildren by now.
As she thought about it, she glanced at her silly son who was arguing with a kid.
Qu Changning was glared at by his mother for no apparent reason.
Without thinking it through, he started staring at Wen Chengan again.
"Changning, what are you doing?" Rong asked.
Qu Changning touched his nose and said awkwardly, "Nothing, I just don't like this little kid."
Rong pulled him back and said, "What nonsense! That's Master Nineteen!"
Qu Changning was dumbfounded. This arrogant little guy was actually a prince? !
Yuan Qing smiled and waved to Wen Chengan, "Come here, An'er."
Wen Chengan sat next to her obediently, looking completely different from how he was just now.
"Mother, you sit here with Aunt Rong first. I'll be out for a while." Yuan Qing said.
She could see that the elders had something to discuss, and she just happened to want to go out for a walk.
"Go ahead, take An'er with you and don't go far."
