Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 638 There is no way I can make a mistake!

Shen Mingxuan was already dizzy and had lost all patience. Her posture changed from kneeling at the beginning, to leaning, and finally to lying down directly.

Of course, Shen Wantang was not stupid enough to kneel straight down. Moreover, before she set out, she was afraid that Qi would torture her on purpose, so she brought a cushion with her. Now she changed from kneeling to sitting on her knees - all of this was the experience she gained from being punished by Qi since she was a child.

In the beginning, she actually didn't know how to cheat or play tricks. When she was eight years old, she was punished to kneel, and she knelt honestly. Her knees were bruised and her waist was sore, but Qi was still not satisfied. She would still find fault with her and continue to punish her.

Later, she became smarter. She started kneeling crookedly and staggering, and also learned how to cheat and pretend to be faint.

Now that I’m older, pretending to be faint isn’t very practical anymore, but cheating is still very practical.

At noon, the sun became scorching.

The front hall of Guyuan Temple is surprisingly different from that of Fazhen Temple. The front hall of Fazhen Temple is warm in winter and cool in summer, while the front hall of Guyuan Temple is like a furnace in the hot summer, so hot that people will almost faint.

Shen Mingxuan had never suffered such hardship before. She urged for the fourth time, "Mother, is it almost time? It's noon!"

Qi turned around and saw that both her daughter and Shen Wantang were sweating profusely, and she felt a little satisfied.

She leaned over to wipe her daughter's sweat, but scolded Shen Wantang, "You're not sitting properly. This is extremely disrespectful to the Buddha! Today we're here to pray for your father, and you're being perfunctory like this. If you anger the Buddha, it's no joke! Forget lunch, and continue kneeling here chanting. You're not allowed to get up until I tell you to!"

After Qi finished speaking, she pulled Shen Mingxuan up and walked out of the front hall.

Shen Mingxuan turned back to look at Shen Wantang, a smug smile on her face: "Sister, please pray for father. Whether father can get better depends entirely on you. If you kneel well today, I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of father."

Shen Guannian's poison had been cured long ago, and his body had almost recovered in the past few days. Why did he need to pray for anything?

Shen Wantang sneered in his heart, but he still knelt there without moving.

Only after Qi disappeared with Shen Mingxuan and the maids and nannies, and the monk who was chanting scriptures ran away in the heat, did Shen Wantang stand up.

Dujuan and Qinxin hurried over to help her.

Shen Wantang stepped out of the front hall and walked to the dense sycamore tree in front of the hall. He asked Qin Xin, "How did the investigation go?"

"My lady guessed it right. There really is a man living in the back hall of Guyuan Temple! He looks exactly like what Sanshui described. He must be the one my lady has been keeping!"

Shen Wantang nodded. "She wants to destroy me. It's not hard to guess what she's up to, but she's using those dirty tricks. I asked you to steal Shen Mingxuan's package. Did you do it?"

"It's been stolen. I threw it down the mountain as the young lady instructed. I guarantee that the young lady won't be able to find it no matter how hard she tries!"

Shen Wantang smiled softly: "That's good."

As he was speaking, Qing Jin on the Wutong tree whispered, "Miss, that person is coming this way."

Shen Wantang sighed sarcastically, "I thought Qi Xiangru was quite patient. She spent the entire morning in the front hall, trying to drain my energy so that I wouldn't have the strength to resist. Turns out she couldn't bear it anymore. As soon as they left, she immediately called that man over."

After she finished speaking, she went back into the front hall and knelt on the cushion.

But this time, she was kneeling on all fours, so that she could cover her face.

She had just knelt for a while when she heard footsteps behind her.

Then, a frivolous voice rang out: "Miss, why are you still kneeling here at this hour? Don't you want to have lunch? I wonder who you are praying for and when. Don't let the blessing come to you and you get sick from the heat first. Get up quickly!"

Shen Wantang knelt there, motionless, as if he heard nothing.

Wei Dazhang frowned slightly, stepped forward and was about to enter the hall.

Qin Xin and Du Juan stood out on his left and right, blocking his way.

"Where did you come from, you lecher? You disturbed my young lady's prayers. How shameless! Get out of here!"

"Our young lady is in good health, but you, a pervert, insisted on cursing her with a heat stroke. Your intentions are sinister! If you don't get out of here, we won't be polite!"

Wei Dazhang looked at the two of them with greed in his eyes.

The maids in the Shen family are all delicate and tender. I really wonder how delicate the young ladies must be!

However, this was not the place to start a fight. Moreover, the two maids were a bit of a nuisance and needed to be led away. He had only come here to meet Qi's face, as instructed by her.

He didn't see the face at the moment, but he remembered the clothes.

She is the only one wearing such a pink color in the entire Guyuan Temple, there must be something wrong with her!

Besides, he had seen Shen Wantang from a distance once before and roughly remembered her appearance. He felt that it was unnecessary for Qi to give him a portrait and ask him to recognize her face.

There are only a few pilgrims in Guyuan Temple today. Is it possible that he has mistaken someone?

He snorted lightly and turned away - he had to go to Qi to ask for some interest first, he was not working for nothing!

Qin Xin and Du Juan immediately helped Shen Wantang up.

Qin Xin recalled the man's greedy gaze and was furious. "Miss, what should we do next? That scoundrel is so disgusting. I might as well ask Qingjin and Qingyin to dig out his eyes!"

Shen Wantang walked out slowly: "Don't worry, someone will take care of him. We don't need to do anything."

Qin Xin was stunned: "Who will take care of him? Does the young lady have any helpers in secret?"

Shen Wantang chuckled: "Not a helper, but an enemy."

"adversary?"

"Let's go, we have to go find my good sister. I can't suffer here while she enjoys it over there. It's time to switch places."

Soon, Shen Wantang found Shen Mingxuan in a side room.

Shen Mingxuan was drinking tea. When she saw Shen Wantang, she immediately glared at her. "Why are you here? Didn't Mother tell you to continue kneeling and praying for Father? How dare you disobey Mother?!"

Shen Wantang stepped forward, snatched her tea, drank it all, then grabbed her arm and dragged her out.

Shen Mingxuan was shocked and angry: "What are you doing? Let me go!"

"What else can I do? I'll naturally drag my sister along to pray for Father. You don't have any filial piety at all, do you? You're not even willing to pray for Father?"

"I'm not going! You're the one who should be praying for blessings, and I've already done it! Let go, don't pull me!"

Shen Mingxuan said as she pulled it back with all her might.

Shen Wantang was not willing to be outdone and dragged her out with all his might.

The maids of the two men soon joined the battle, and for a while, the room was in chaos.

Then, with a "swish" sound, Shen Wantang forcibly pulled down one sleeve of Shen Mingxuan's clothes.
