It turned out that there was a small courtyard behind this side hall. Behind the Buddha statue was a corner door to the small courtyard.
Xiao Qirui was originally talking to his good friend in the courtyard. He felt bored and walked around casually. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the side hall, he heard the girl’s low pleading voice.
Men and women had to keep their distance. He was about to leave when he heard his sister’s voice.
Naturally, he also knew that the girl who had knelt down and prayed sincerely for her family’s health was his fiancée, whom he had never seen before.
“Qirui, why are you in a daze here?” A young man in embroidered clothes patted Xiao Qirui’s shoulder. He followed his gaze and saw nothing.
Xiao Qirui came back to his senses and wanted to say that he was fine. He recalled the girl he had seen just now and coughed lightly. “I think I saw my sister just now. I think my mother came to the Hidden Spirit Temple too. I’ll go over and take a look.”
The young man in embroidered clothes did not suspect anything.
“Yes. I’m sending my mother down the mountain. You don’t have to wait for me.”
“Got it. Go quickly.”
On the other side of the room, Madam Li and the other two chatted for a while. They waited for Little Jiajia to return, but Song Jingchen and Fan Mingyuan arrived first.
Coincidentally, the young maidservant who had been arranged by Xiao Ruoshui to wait for the figurines also entered. She heard that Xiao Qirui had also come to the Hidden Spirit Temple, so Xiao Ruoshui went to look for him.
Madam Xiao said helplessly, “This girl makes me worry.”
She even nagged at Xiao Qirui a few times. The older he grew, the more ideas he had. He never told his family where he went.
Song Jingchen looked at the two potters placed on the table by the maidservant. His fingertips moved slightly. He thought for a moment and said,
“Brother Fan and I will go out and look for them.”
Madam Li glanced at her son and smiled. “There are so many people outside. Where are you going to find them? If Jiajia and Ruoshui don’t come back, we’ll have to send someone to look for the two of you.”
“Let’s wait a little longer. It’s lunchtime soon. The two children should be back soon.”
Song Jingchen could only wait in the next room with Fan Mingyuan.
Madam Li’s guess was right. The few of them returned before lunch, and Yuan Yuwan was also included.
Yuan Yuwan greeted them one by one.
Madam Xiao was undoubtedly satisfied with her future daughter-in-law and showed her concern.
Madam Li thought to herself for a moment.
“Didn’t you say that you saw your brother? Why didn’t he come with you?”
“I didn’t find him.” Xiao Ruoshui took a sip of tea and finally felt warm. She curled her lips and said, “Maybe I saw it wrongly.”
After saying that, she blinked at Yuan Yuwan. “Forget about him. Didn’t I bring your future daughter-in-law here?”
Yuan Yuwan blushed. She thought of something and quickly explained, “I’ve lived here for three days, but I haven’t seen Young Master Xiao.”
Madam Xiao patted Yuan Yuwan’s hand comfortingly and looked at Xiao Ruoshui. ‘What nonsense are you talking about? Look at how frustrated your
Sister Yuwan is.”
She Imew her son well. She wouldn’t suspect that the engaged couple had met here without telling their family.
Moreover, even if they really met, she wouldn’t think much of it.
Unfortunately, Xiao Qirui was an ignorant person.
As they spoke, Little Jiajia was also showing Song Jingchen what she had bought for him.
“This is a blessed amulet. It can keep you safe. I’ll put it on for you.” “I heard that this is a red thread left behind by Elder Yue. We each have one.”
This continued on.
“By the way, where’s my clay figurine?”
MO Yuan felt that she couldn’t bear to watch, but she still dutifully handed over the figurine.
“It’s quite accurate.” Little Jiajia sized up the figurine and stuffed it into Song Jingchen’s arms in satisfaction. “This is for you. We’ll go again later and ask him make one of you.”
Song Jingchen felt that this figurine of her was cute when he saw it just now, but now, he felt that it was hot.
He wanted to refuse, but he was afraid that the little girl would be sad.
He pursed his lips tightly and could not say a word.
No matter what, he was a few years older than the two of them. Seeing them like this was no different from watching children play house.
It was strange that Ah Chen, who had always been steady, could be forced to this extent.
He smiled. Song Jingchen finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. He blushed and stood up. “I’m going for a walk.”
With that, he left.
Little Jiajia was stunned and glared at Fan Mingyuan. “Don’t be envious. Sister Ruoshui bought one for you too.”
It was Fan Mingyuan’s turn to blush.
When Song Jingchen left the room, he realized that he was still holding onto Little Jiajia’s pottery figurine. Seeing someone walking towards him, he stuffed the figurine into his arms guiltily. After stuffing it, he felt that it was inappropriate and wanted to take it out, but the person was already close.
“Heir Song?” Xiao Qirui looked at the young man in front of him strangely.
Song Jingchen reached out halfway. When he heard this voice, he covered up the nonexistent creases on his chest and cupped his hands. “Young Master Xiao.”
Xiao Qirui wanted to ask something, but Song Jingchen said, “Are you looking for Auntie Xiao? I’ll bring you there.”
“Thank you very much.”
When Little Jiajia chased after him, she saw an unfamiliar young man beside
Song Jingchen. She jogged over. “Brother Chen, who is he?”
Seeing Little Jiajia, Song Jingchen thought of the pottery man in his arms. The blush on his face that had just faded rose again. He coughed lightly and said, “This is Young Master Xiao.”
When Little Jiajia heard this, she sized up Xiao Qirui from left to right and frowned. “You’re Sister Yuwan’s fiancé.”
Then, there was nothing else.
In the room, Madam Li had just asked Bi Zhu to send a portion of the vegetarian food to the room next door when she heard the maidservant guarding the door say that the heir had brought Young Master Xiao over. Madam Li smiled and said, “It seems that Ruoshui wasn’t wrong.”
She looked at Yuan Yuwan and said this.
Yuan Yuwan blushed and stood up. “1- I’ll..
She wanted to say that she should leave first.
Madam Xiao pulled her back. ‘You haven’t seen him yet, right? There are so many people here. It’s fine to meet.”
Yuan Yuwan bit her lip. “Alright..”
