Chapter 1887: Teasing Her Chapter 1887: Teasing Her Editor: Henyee Translations She couldnât even risk the Buddha and Bodhisattva discovering her intentionsââŹÂŚ Perhaps Madam Shao was deliberately taunting her!
Fortunately, Qiao Xuan shifted the conversation with a smile, steering away from the topic.
Instead, she turned to Fan Ruyin with genuine interest.
âIs there a spot within 500 meters of Qingsong Monastery thatâs serene, captivating, and offers splendid scenery?â Mianmian, privy to certain details, couldnât help but glance at her wife, suppressing a smirk.
Fan Ruyin felt a surge of frustration.
She inwardly cursed the incompetence of the bandits.
Despite leading them to such a secluded spot, why hadnât they acted yet?
Nevertheless, she maintained a composed smile and replied, âFor tranquility and picturesque views, nothing surpasses the back mountain!
It boasts lush pines, verdant bamboos, cascading waterfalls, natural springs, mountain blooms, and peculiar rock formations.
Itâs truly breathtaking.
Since weâre here, itâs only fitting to explore the back mountain.
Would you care to accompany me?â Fan Ruyinâs eyes gleamed with anticipation.
Yes, they might be lying in wait at the back of the mountain!
Considering the monasteryâs numerous visitors, the back mountain offered the most seclusion, making it an ideal location for capturing targetsââŹÂŚ Qiao Xuan smiled.
âShall we venture alone?
Shouldnât we wait for First Madam Fan and Second Mrs.
Fan?â Fan Ruyin desperately wished for the bandits to seize Qiao Xuan soon, so she saw no reason to wait.
With a smile, she suggested, âWe can proceed without my sister-in-laws, Madam Shao.
My company should suffice.â âOhââŹÂŚâ âPlease, Madam Shao!â Qiao Xuan glanced at her and replied casually, âActually, my husband advised against visiting the back mountain before I came here.â âHe mentioned that the back mountain isnât safe, and it could lead to trouble if anything were to happen.
While the surroundings are serene, theyâre also quite isolated.â Fan Ruyin felt a pang of frustration.
What kind of words were those!
However, Qiao Xuanâs refusal only fueled Fan Ruyinâs conviction that the mountain bandits were indeed lurking there.
âYour husband is overly cautious.
This is Qingsong Monastery, a renowned ancient temple in Anze Province.
The back mountain is routinely tended to by the monasteryâs masters.
How could there be any danger?
With the lush greenery and picturesque landscapes this time of year, it would be a shame not to explore them!
Madam Shao, wonât you reconsider?â Fan Ruyin pleaded.
âI understandââŹÂŚâ Qiao Xuan feigned contemplation.
Seeing an opportunity, Fan Ruyin persisted, doing her utmost to coax Qiao Xuan into accompanying her to the back mountain, even resorting to flattery.
Amused by Fan Ruyinâs evident anxiety, Qiao Xuan found the situation rather amusing.
Although she secretly desired to visit the back mountain, she knew she would be the one handling any potential threats; there was no chance of others overpowering her.
However, she dreaded her husbandâs wrath.
She couldnât afford to provoke him when he was in a fiery moodââŹÂŚ Regrettably, she had no choice but to relent!
âWellââŹÂŚ Letâs forget it,â Qiao Xuan sighed with disappointment, offering a wry smile to Fan Ruyin.
âMy husband is quite temperamental, and he doesnât heed my advice.
Heâll be furious, and Iâll have to face his retribution later!
I dare not risk it!
After all, in marriage, we should defer to our husbandsâ wishes, shouldnât we?
Since my husband has forbidden it, we must abide by his decision!â Fan Ruyin: âââŹÂŚâ Suddenly, Qiao Xuan flashed a smile.
âBut Mrs.
Bai, youâre so considerate.
I feel embarrassed to decline your invitationââŹÂŚâ
