Chapter 42: The original plot has been disrupted (2)

“Why is Miss Xie so curious about me?” Wei Ruo was puzzled. This Miss Xie should be a popular person, why didn't she play with others instead of running after her to ask questions.

"No, I'm not interested in you, I'm interested in this place where you are sitting now."

"At where I sit?"

“This ginkgo tree is my favorite place to hide and relax, and you have taken it. If you don't especially like it here, can you give me this place? I want to stay here alone for a while. Of course, if you promise not to bother me, I can also allow you to stay here.”

She turned out to be a kindred spirit!

Wei Ruo smiled and said: "I also like to stay here, I won't disturb you, let's sleep on each side. You see, this ginkgo tree trunk is so thick, we can't even see one another if we sleep on each side."

“That's okay.” Xie Ying accepted Wei Ruo's offer and sat down on the other side of the ginkgo tree.

Two people were separated by the trunk of the tree, each leaning on the other side, and neither of them disturbed the other.

Not knowing how long it had been, suddenly a commotion came, waking up two people who were leisurely resting under the ginkgo tree.

Wei Ruo and Xie Ying both raised their heads, then poked their heads out and glanced at each other.

Their expression was almost the same, with a hint of haziness from just waking up and a hint of hesitation.

Hesitating whether to go or not.

“What do you think has happened over there?” Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo.

"Do you think we should go over there?" Wei Ruo asked Xie Ying.

“Or, why don't we just lie down? Even if something happens, it won’t be our fault, "Xie Ying said.

"We lie down then." Wei Ruo agreed.

The two of them had surprisingly the same idea, both wanting to relax, so they both laid back.

Wei Ruo and Xie Ying were sleeping peacefully against the ginkgo tree, unaware of the chaos ahead of them.

The people involved in the accident were Wei Qingwan and Qian Zhilan, the young lady of County Head Magistrate.

After Wei Qingwan was left by Wei Ruo, she found Qian Zhilan, and the two played well together.

As the Miss of County Head Magistrate, Qian Zhilan did not look up to the other girls in Xingshan County. The county officials were all subordinates of her father. Only Wei Qingwan’s family had the same official position as her father.

She looked up to Xie Ying, but Xie Ying did not like her and did not want to play with her.

Wei Qingwan and Qian Zhilan accompanied each other to enjoy the scenery at the temple. At first, they just walked around the temple, but the Fahua Temple in Xingshan County was not that big, and it did not take them long to finish walking.

At this moment, Qian Zhilan noticed a quiet path at the west gate of the temple and pulled Wei Qingwan over.

After they walked for a while, they found a meditation room in front of them. There were many flowers and trees in front of the meditation room, and the scenery was pleasant.

It was exactly the scene depicted in the poem: The pathway leads to a quiet place, the meditation room was full of flowers and trees.

Qian Zhilan then dragged Wei Qingwan to the meditation room.

When they tried to get close, they were scolded by a man dressed as a servant, telling them that they were not allowed to approach this place.

Qian Zhilan revealed her identity and in turn warned the other party that they had reserved the Fahua Temple for the day. People with no permission were not allowed to enter, so they asked the other party to leave at once.

But the other party completely ignored her, so Qian Zhilan took Wei Qingwan back to find her mother, and told her about finding an uninvited person in the meditation room at the back.

Mrs. Qian heard her daughter say that there was a suspicious man sneaking around, so she hurriedly sent people to search around the meditation room, causing a lot of noise.

When the head monk of the temple learned of Mrs. Qian's actions, he hurried over to stop them, and revealed a shocking event to them.
