The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 797 The news heard

"To make friends and curry favor?" Xu Huai frowned, "Your husband wants to curry favor with Prince Su, so why did he come to Sanqing Temple?"

"To be honest, Taoist priest, our husband also had people prepare gifts and send them to Prince Su's mansion, but the effect was not good. Perhaps it did not touch Prince Su's heart. After thinking about it, we asked Sanqing Temple to ask for advice under the pretext of burning incense to see how we can please Prince Su."

Wei Yao sighed as she spoke.

"We don't understand what's going on in the court, but since our husband has given the order, we two wives can only follow it."

As she spoke, it seemed as if she was just a wife who had to come following her husband's orders.

Xu Huai looked at Jiang Suining and Wei Yao, "Since you are here to ask for advice sincerely, why don't you even take off your veil?"

"Master, please forgive us. After all, we are women who stay in seclusion. It is not good to show our faces in public. Moreover, we came here today to inquire about information and please Prince Su. It is not something we are particularly proud of, so we wore a veil hat." Jiang Suining explained.

Wei Yao then asked, "Master Xuhuai, do you want us to take off our veils so that you can give us instructions?"

As he said this, he pretended to take off the veil.

"Forget it. I don't care what the two ladies look like. But I'm afraid it's a waste of time for you to try to find out what the prince likes through me."

"Why do you say that, Taoist priest?" Wei Yao stopped taking off her veil.

"Could it be that the Taoist priest thinks we are not sincere enough?" Jiang Suining took out the purse, "Taoist priest, inside this..."

"It's not because of the money." Xu Huai stopped Jiang Suining's action, "The prince has been practicing in Sanqing Temple to preserve the Taoist temple. Over the years, the prince has been very kind to the Taoist temple. Without the prince's permission, I will naturally not disclose any information about the prince at will."

"Master, we have no ill intentions. We are only asking for information to please the prince. We will never do anything that is detrimental to the prince. You can rest assured about this." Jiang Suining said.

Wei Yao immediately responded, "That's right, Prince Su is of noble status, and we are just two small official wives. We dare not go against the prince no matter what. We came here today just for the prince's preferences, and we will never ask anything else. I hope the temple master can be accommodating, and we will definitely donate more incense money when the time comes."

"I have made it very clear. No matter what your purpose is for coming here today, I will not tell you anything." Xu Huai looked at the teacup in front of him. "This tea is unique to the temple. You can have a taste. After you finish drinking the tea, you can go down the mountain."

"Master, our husbands know that we are here today. They are still waiting for us to bring back news at home. If we don't find out anything, I'm afraid our husbands will be angry when we get home." Jiang Suining said in an embarrassed tone.

Wei Yao also said: "That's right, my husband has always had a bad temper, he will definitely blame me, I hope the temple master will show some mercy, even if it's just a little information, that would be good."

Taoist Master Xu Huai frowned, seeming to be very unhappy about the entanglement between Jiang Suining and Wei Yao.

He said, "I have nothing to say," and stood up to leave.

"Master." Jiang Suining called out to him.

"I have already explained it very clearly. Do you two still want to entangle with me?"

Jiang Suining sighed deeply, "Master, you misunderstood. Since you are so unwilling to say it, we naturally cannot force you. But since I am here today and have met you, I would like to ask you to help me with a fortune telling. It can be considered that my trip is not in vain."

"Fortune telling?"

"Yes, please help me, Master." Jiang Suining nodded through the veil.

Xu Huai was silent for a moment, then he knelt back on the cushion and asked someone to bring him three copper coins.

"What does Madam want to calculate?"

"Even if it's a home, I want to know if the home is safe."

Xu Huai nodded slightly, and the copper coin in his hand shook and soon fell on the low table in front of him.

"How is it?" Jiang Suining asked.

"The family is in good order, madam, you may rest assured."

"That's all?" Wei Yao said, "Master, with just this sentence, won't you explain the hexagram?"

"I only tell you the results when I tell fortunes. If you two ladies don't believe me, you can go somewhere else to have it told again."

"I believe it." Jiang Suining said immediately, "Thank you, Master. Now that my family is in peace, I feel at ease."

"No need to thank me. If you have nothing else, please leave." Xu Huai put away the copper coins in front of him.

Jiang Suining took out the money bag and said, "This is a thank you gift for asking the master to tell your fortune."

Xu Huai took a look at the purse, didn't say anything, and accepted it as he pleased.

Jiang Suining placed the purse on the low table, stood up and said, "Sorry to bother you today, Master. We will take our leave now."

Wei Yao followed Jiang Suining and stood up to say goodbye.

After the two left, someone came out from behind the hall.

Looking at the untouched tea, the young Taoist priest who came out said, "It seems that they are two cautious ones."

"Send someone to tell the prince that there are two unidentified women who want to inquire about the prince's news."

"Yes, Master." The young Taoist priest responded, and then asked, "Should we send someone to follow them and find out their identities?"

"No need. We haven't heard anything yet. The prince will make a decision naturally. Recently, someone has been keeping an eye on Sanqing Temple. We should be careful."

……

After Jiang Suining and Wei Yao walked out of the hall, they soon saw Xier waiting at the gate.

The three of them left together.

After getting into the carriage, Wei Yao took off her veil and asked Xier, "How is it? Have you heard any news?"

They had thought about it on the way here. Even if they met the abbot, they would most likely not be able to find out any information.

Therefore, she and Sui Ning were just a cover to delay time, and the person who really wanted to know the news was actually Xier.

"I pretended to be bored and chatted with Kong Ming for a long time. He said he had only been in the Taoist temple for a year and didn't know much about many things. But I heard him say that Prince Su seemed to have made arrangements to leave since someone came to inspect the Taoist temple last time. And he once accidentally heard Prince Su and his master, the temple master, talking about something. It was too big a matter and someone had to take the responsibility."

Jiang Suining and Wei Yao looked at each other and both thought of the case of the missing woman.

"Anything else?" Jiang Suining asked.

Xier thought for a moment, "Oh, right, when I was talking to Kongming, another young Taoist priest happened to pass by. He seemed to be in charge of the kitchen. He mentioned that the temple has bought fewer vegetables and fruits recently, and the consumption is not as large as before. But according to Kongming, the number of people in their Taoist temple has not decreased. It's just that Prince Su left with two people."

“If only three people left, the consumption would not decrease suddenly.” Wei Yao said.

"Yes, I think so too. However, I dare not ask any more questions, for fear that if I ask too much, I will be exposed and arouse Kong Ming's suspicion. But I feel that this matter is very wrong."

Jiang Suining lifted the car curtain and looked back in the direction of the Taoist temple.

"It seems that this Sanqing Temple has quite a few secrets."

"Then is there anything else? Especially about Prince Su." Wei Yao asked Xier.
