  Wansong Temple is located on the majestic and magnificent Pan Mountain, with green mountains and clear waters, dreamy moonlight and windy pines, depicting a majestic and solemn appearance, with grand Buddha statues, it is the largest temple in this area, with thriving incense offerings.

  Li Mingyun took Lin Lan to Maitreya Hall for worship.

  Two people knelt side by side in front of the Buddha, lit incense and bowed their heads, just like two people making a mountain vow, feeling strange.

  Lin Lan stole a glance at Li Mingyun, only to see his calm and solemn expression, very devout. In fact, she should be most grateful to the Buddha for giving her a chance to reborn, although this life's circumstances are not great, without the glory of her past life, fortunately, the Buddha did not take away her memories of her past life. Lin Lan believed that with her own efforts, she would definitely live a happy life.

  "Buddha's ancestor, I must ensure that this trip is completed smoothly and the task is accomplished. Kill the old witch to death, severely punish the unfaithful man..." Lin Lan muttered to herself.

  Li Mingyun couldn't help but smile after hearing the last two sentences, but the solemn Buddhist hall didn't allow for such frivolity. He got up to insert the incense and also put a silver note in the merit box.

  A young monk beside him saw this and gave Li Mingyun a Buddhist salute: "Amitabha Buddha, the donor's merit is boundless..."

  Li Mingyu returned the courtesy and asked: "Is Master Zhiyuan present?"

  Xiao Shayi saw that Li Ming's appearance was extraordinary, his demeanor was extraordinary, and he was generous with his hands. It was only natural to treat him as a noble guest, but the master did not easily see fragrant guests.

  Kosami makes a bow and moves into the inner temple.

  Lin Lan finished speaking and knocked her head three times respectfully, then Yin Liu helped her up.

  "Dongzi, take Young Madam to visit the Thousand Buddha Hall upstairs." Li Mingyu instructed.

  "What's up?"

  Li Mingyan smiled slightly: "I have an old relationship with Master Zhiyuan, I'll go ask him about Buddhist teachings, you guys go play! I'll find you later."

  That's all right, Lin Lan wasn't interested in Buddhist teachings and such, so she took Yin Liu and Dongzi to the Thousand Buddha Hall.

  Qianfo Hall, the name is not in vain. It enshrines countless Buddha statues. The first thing that catches your eye is a majestic bronze statue of Sakyamuni. Further inside, there are Guanyin sitting upside down, eighteen Arhats, and numerous large and small Buddha statues.

  Dongzi is apparently familiar with this place and introduces it one by one.

  "Does young master often come here?" Lin Lan asked as she walked.

  "It's not often that we come, counting this time, a total of three trips." Dongzi replied, then said without asking: "The first time was when the young master and Chen Gongzi came out to travel, the second time was three years ago, the lady brought the young master back to Feng An Road and passed through this place, the young master originally wanted to ask the wise Master Zhīyuán to guide the lady out of her confusion, unfortunately, the lady still couldn't open up, and fell ill before arriving in Feng An..."

  As for what exactly happened to Ming Yu's mother, Li Ming Yu had never told her about it. Everything was just her own guess based on Li Ming Yu's attitude and Ye Lao Furen's reaction.

  "That... why did Madam want to be buried in the back mountain of Xi Stream?" This was what Lin Lan couldn't understand most.

  "This... even I don't quite understand, in short it's the lady's last words, but I heard young master say that when the lady was a child, she followed old master to Xigou village to collect silkworms, and something unexpected happened, almost..." Dongzi made a rolling eyes and sticking out tongue expression, indicating almost lost her life. Yezi slowly nodded."

  "Then Madam said that Xī Qū Village was her place of rebirth, maybe it's because of this reason! That's why Madam let Young Master bury her at the back mountain of Xī Qū." Dōng Zǐ said.

  Lin Lan was deeply shocked by his words. The land of rebirth? This saying is quite strange, could it be that Li Ming's mother was also...

  "That's right, I've also heard this before. It was the old people in the government who said that when Madam was seven years old, she followed Old Master to Xiquan Village and then suddenly fainted on the back mountain. She wasn't rescued until several days later." Yinyu added.

  Lin Lan's heart became even more suspicious.

  "Winter's old mother sighed and said: 'When the lady married the old master, both the old lady and the old grandfather were strongly opposed. It was the lady who insisted on marrying, and the old lady couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she agreed. To say, the lady was really good to the old master, wholeheartedly assisting him. The old master slowly rose from being a poor scholar to becoming the Minister of Revenue, but unexpectedly, the old master had been hiding it from the lady all along. Three years ago, the old master's previous wife, now known as Madame Han, came with a pair of children, and that was when the lady found out that the old master already had a first wife... The old master explained that during the flood in their hometown, he saw Madame Han being swept away by the floodwaters and thought she had died, which is why he remarried...'

  Lin Lan was shocked and thought that this explanation sounded reasonable! Li Ming's mother wouldn't be driven to desperation by this, would she?!

  "Although the lady was not pleased in her heart, she thought that Mrs. Han was after all the master's wife of many years, and they also had a son together. She intended to agree to treat Mrs. Han as an equal, but later discovered that things were not so simple. After the master and the lady got married, he secretly continued to have dealings with Mrs. Han. When the lady gave birth to the young master, it was a difficult labor, but the master did not return home all night. The servants in the house searched everywhere for the master but could not find him. Young lady, can you guess what happened?"

  Lin Lan shook her head.

  Dongzi's face twisted in anger, and he let out a cold snort: "The young master was only born an hour earlier than the second master. At that time, the old master was by Madam Han's side, while the mistress almost didn't survive due to a difficult labor."

  Lin Lan was shocked, if that's the case, the nature of things would be completely different, this is deception. From a time perspective, Li Ze's father remarried after knowing that Han Shi didn't die, he did this to rely on the Ye family's wealth to pave the way for his future, use them and then reunite with his wife, everyone would be happy. This calculation is really loud! Li Ze's father.

  "How did these ladies know?" Lin Lan asked.

  "Dongzi gritted her teeth: 'It was Han Shi herself who told the lady, and she knew that the lady deeply loved Master, so she wouldn't inform on him. She deliberately said in front of the lady how much Master loved her, and how much she loved Master, and for the sake of becoming Master's wife, she endured so much hardship for many years...'"

  Lin Lan was furious, this woman was too hateful, no wonder Li Mingyun hated her so much.

  "Has the lady really given up?" Lin Lan felt that Li Mingyu's mother was not only unfair, but also too weak and incompetent. If it were her, she would make sure that those two scoundrels wouldn't have a good end.

  The silver willow is also filled with righteous indignation, its slender eyebrows standing on end.

  "The young master didn't know, but the mistress is a person with strong self-esteem. She had always thought that the old master's feelings for her were genuine, so she married him without hesitation in the past. This matter was a huge blow to the mistress, and she became disheartened and disillusioned. She left a note asking to be released from her duties and took the young master back to Feng An. At the time, the young master didn't know about these things and thought that the mistress just didn't want to share a husband with Madame Han, thinking that the mistress was just trying to scare the old master. So when they arrived at the Tianjin dock, the young master specifically brought the mistress to the Wan Song Temple, wanting to resolve her emotional knot. Later, the mistress told him the truth - she never wanted to see the old master and Madame Han again. The young master became very angry and wanted to return to Beijing to reason with the old master, but the mistress fell ill at that time. After giving birth to the young master, the mistress's health had always been poor, and this illness came on suddenly and fiercely. The young master was helpless and could only follow the mistress's wishes, sending her back to Feng An. And then... Young Mistress, you already know what happened next." Dongzi said in one breath.

  Lin Lan's lungs were about to explode, she wanted to say that Li Mingyun's mother was simply a stupid woman, for what dog dignity, a scumbag who had cheated on her for over a decade, still loving him? Still caring about his face? A stick would beat him back into shape. And besides, for a woman who was plotting to take her place, she should not give an inch, let her continue to hide in the dark corner and suffer!

  "What's even more infuriating is yet to come! After the lady left, the old master told outsiders that she had a narrow mind and couldn't tolerate his first wife, who had risked her life to travel thousands of miles to rely on him. After the lady's death, the old master welcomed back Han Shi, created public opinion, and praised himself for being so emotional and righteous, even gaining recognition from the emperor and being promoted to Minister of Revenue. Li Ming smoothly acknowledged his ancestry and became the young master of the Li family, while our young master became the second young master. And then there's Li Mingzhu - Han Shi told outsiders that she was her sister's daughter, but I just found out that Li Mingzhu is actually Han Shi and the old master's biological child, and they called her their niece to avoid affecting the old master's reputation."

  Lin Lan didn't know what to say anymore, this rotten account was really rotten enough, the plot was really cheesy enough. She didn't know if Li Mingyu's mother would be so angry that she'd come back from the dead after knowing all these things. For her own stupid pride, she became a pair of dog-like lovers, and ended up torturing herself to death. In the end, the one who suffered the most was still Li Mingyu. Lin Lan clearly realized that this trip to Beijing would be against opponents as shameless as they come, with tasks as arduous as they get.
