Part 1 - The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 008 The Visitor

☆
No one said anything.

Under the peach blossom forest, on the roof, a man with a gorgeous appearance was stained with wind and moon, and he lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Li.

His smile was also a bit evil and sycophantic, but it was unclear whether he was an enemy or a friend, good or evil.

On the other hand, Tong'er, who had been in a daze, couldn't help but ask doubtfully: "...Flower Fairy?"

This man is as handsome as a demon or a fairy, and his demeanour is so eye-catching that it really makes people feel trance-like.

Before Jiang Li had time to speak, she heard a sudden noise coming from outside. Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat. She looked up at the roof again, only to see that the beautiful young man on the roof had disappeared, leaving only the peach blossom branches swaying slightly, as if they were doing something. A long childhood sweet dream.

Tong'er was equally surprised, rubbed her eyes and said, "Is this slave just dreaming?"

Jiang Li said: "It's not a dream, but now..." She listened to the voices getting closer and closer, the corner of her mouth curled up, but she couldn't care less about the doubts of the talent, and said: "Let's go to the Buddhist hall and kneel."

Tong'er was now surprised and confused by many things, so she didn't ask any more questions, and went to the Buddhist hall with Jiang Li to kneel in front of the Clay Bodhisattva, and put the plate of fruit offerings back. The two of them had just knelt down when they heard bustling voices coming from outside, and someone was banging hard on the door of the nunnery.

The knock on the door alerted the nuns in the nunnery. Someone opened the door. The lanterns in the nunnery lit up one after another. The voices outside became louder and louder. Jiang Li held her breath and Tong'er knelt down.

Suddenly, someone rushed into the Buddhist hall, led by a nun holding a lantern. She seemed not to have expected that there would be two people kneeling in the Buddhist hall. After all, it was so late. She rushed behind her and said: "Madam, there are two more nuns.”

From behind this person, a group of people came forward one after another, including ladies and men, all dressed in rich and noble clothes. The ‘Madam’ that the nun called was a gentle woman with fair skin and a slim figure. When she stepped forward and saw Jiang Li, she was stunned for a moment, then shook her head at the nun and said, "She is not a nun. She also has facial hair. With your hair down, I’m afraid the person next to you is a maid.”

Jiang Li watched in surprise as a group of people came in. She had long black hair, and her small face was even paler. Her thin body was gathered in grey silk clothes, and her eyes were peaceful. Although her complexion was weak, she looked more and more pretty under the Bodhisattva Seat. Her beauty is uncontested and she looks extremely gentle and pure, making it easy for people to fall in love with her.

Perhaps it was pity for her young age that the lady even softened her voice when speaking to her, and asked softly: "Little girl, it's so late, why are you here?"

Jiang Li said: "I made a mistake, Master asked me to kneel here and meditate."

All the men and women who came were very surprised. Some people said angrily: "It's so late. What mistake did you make to force a little girl to kneel in the Buddhist hall? What should they do if she hurts her body? Didn't I say that my family is compassionate? How could she be so vicious!"

Tong'er's eyes rolled, and she suddenly came to her senses. She immediately changed her expression and said, "It's my slave. I accidentally broke the plate yesterday when I was serving vegetarian food to the girl. Master Jing'an said let the girl and the slave kneel in this temple." She wiped her tears again, "The slave is fine, but my girl, my girl hasn't eaten all day."
