The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 139 Offering Incense at the Buddhist Temple

"Then we definitely have to go to the Wei family."

Liang Ruoxue recalled the attack at the Buddhist temple, and since Liang Siyu and Qi Jiaying were going with her during this holiday, she had an excuse to avoid suspicion.

If you're going to do it, you have to go all the way; you also need to find a scapegoat.

Liang Ruoxue glanced at Liang Ruoyan. This Liang Ruoyan wasn't a good person either, so she decided to make her her target.

Liang Ruoxue thought quickly and acted even faster, but she was unaware that her every move was being monitored by Shen Hanyu.

"I knew this would happen."

Shen Hanyu put down the few sheets of paper. On another, larger sheet of paper were several sentences she had pieced together, each with a different meaning.

She wasn't sure which one it was, so she had to ask Li Huaijiang if he had found anything else. If he had, combining the two pieces of information might lead Shen Hanyu to something extraordinary.

As for Lin Qiufeng, Jin Chui has already sent people to investigate him. Shen Hanyu didn't bother Li Huaijiang with this matter.

Jin Chui stood to one side.

"Should we still go to the Buddhist temple?"

Originally, Wei Ming and Ji Yuxiu asked her if she wanted to come over, and Shen Hanyu was ready to agree.

"Of course we have to go. How can we find something to hold against the two members of the Liang family if we don't go?"

Most importantly, Pei Xingzhi and Han Yueru will also be there, and who knows what these two families will be after meeting.

"Then I'll make the arrangements."

Jin Chui could easily place some people there beforehand to ensure Shen Hanyu's safety.

Shen Hanyu nodded in agreement, and it was clear what Liang Ruoxue wanted to do. However, she was a little surprised that Liang Ruoxue actually wanted to make Liang Ruoyan a scapegoat.

They contacted those people using Liang Ruoyan's name.

"This is really interesting."

"I really don't understand them. They already have such bright futures, yet they insist on clinging to these things."

Shen Hanyu understood Liang Ruoxue's thoughts. With her around, she was always a potential threat, which was why she was in a hurry to get rid of her.

On the day of her day off, Shen Hanyu went there in a carriage as usual.

Without the disturbances from the Marquis's residence, she had been living a very comfortable life these past few days, and today's events would not spoil her good mood.

Wei Ming and Yang Yueying came together. Yang Yueying came to fulfill a vow. She had come every year to offer incense and pray for Wei Ming's health, and this year she finally saw some hope.

Last time, Wei Ming was able to play polo with them, which made Yang Yueying very happy.

Wei Ming saw Shen Hanyu and waved to her.

"Yuxiu is still on her way. Let's go inside first."

Wei Ming pulled Shen Hanyu along. At Wanfo Temple, only Yang Yueying was there now.

Yang Yueying devoutly lit incense. After she finished praying, Wei Ming said, "I still want to thank the doctor who treated my body. If it weren't for her skill, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

Yang Yueying glanced at her helplessly: "Of course I know all that. You didn't eat breakfast this morning, so Wanfo Temple has prepared vegetarian food. Go and eat some first."

She then asked Shen Hanyu to come along as well.

"Hanyu, now that you've moved out and live separately, you need to be extra careful. If you notice anything amiss, just let me know, and I'll have the guards from the General's Mansion keep watch over your residence."

Shen Hanyu did not refuse Yang Yueying's kind offer, but she had no shortage of guards on her side; the people were all left behind by Pei Du, and she trusted them.

"Thank you, aunt."

As they were talking, they saw the people from the Marquis's residence about to enter, so Yang Yueying told Wei Ming and Shen Hanyu to leave first.

The vegetarian food at Wanfo Temple was quite good. Shen Hanyu and Wei Ming found a table and sat down, and a young monk brought them their food.

Speaking of which, Shen Hanyu hadn't seen that bald-headed, blind monk for a long time; he seemed to have disappeared from the previous temple as well.

"The Marquis's family and the Qi family are about to have a good match. They've come to ask for a peace charm. Your cousin and the second young master of the Duke's mansion are also here today."

Wei Ming was telling Shen Hanyu about these things.

The Duke's mansion is still in a bit of a mess. Pei Du was originally the heir to the Duke's mansion, but who would have thought that Han Yueru and Pei Xingzhi would appear later?

"The two of them are probably here to discuss marriage; it seems they didn't reach an agreement after going back last time."

Shen Hanyu took a sip of porridge. If they reached an agreement, she wouldn't be at Wanfo Temple this time, but would be engaged at home instead.

Wei Ming exclaimed, "There's a reason why these aristocratic families in Chang'an aren't going to propose marriage to Young Master Pei. I guess the Marquis can't accept Young Master Pei's status either."

If even Wei Ming can see that, then it will be even more difficult to get to the bottom of this matter by approaching Liang Chengxuan.

After eating the vegetarian meal, Shen Hanyu also went to offer incense.

She was begging to find Shen Yanzhi's body as soon as possible so she could avenge him.

Aside from the people behind the scenes, only Shen Yanzhi knows about Shen Yanzhi's affairs. Liang Fangrong is still kept in the dark, and Shen Hanyu has no intention of telling her.

If this gets out, Liang Fangrong will likely be the next to die.

Miao Cui heard the commotion outside and her eyes flickered slightly.

Shen Hanyu looked at Wei Ming: "You go find Yuxiu first, I'm going to get something."

She didn't want to involve Wei Ming; if she was going to take someone, she should take her alone.

Wei Ming, without suspecting anything, left first.

“Miss, the incense in this hall has been tampered with.”

Shen Hanyu walked to the back and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

"Everyone's been arranged?"

"arranged."

Jin Chui emerged from the shadows, already knowing what Liang Ruoxue was up to; the rest would be easy.

Liang Ruoxue has been living a carefree life for so long, it's time she learned her lesson.

Liang Ruoxue stood outside and waited for a while before sending her maid to check on the situation inside.

"Judging by the time, he should be unconscious by now. Go check if he's been taken away."

The maidservant obeyed and went over, while Liang Ruoxue hid behind a tree, making sure no one could see her.

After a while, the maid came out, forcing a smile: "Miss, Shen Hanyu is no longer inside. She must have been taken away. Should we tidy up that incense?"

Liang Ruoxue frowned: "Why didn't you tidy up just now?"

"Miss, I'm scared..." The maid's legs trembled, and she clutched the hem of her clothes.

Liang Ruoxue cursed under her breath and urged the maid to go inside, while she kept watch.

Liang Ruoxue stood at the door to keep watch.

"Hurry up."

The maid's eyes flickered, and she turned her back.

I'm sorry, young lady.

She crouched down, and when she turned around again, Liang Ruoxue was gone.

Shen Hanyu came out from behind and patted the maid on the shoulder.

"You did well."

The maid trembled.

"Golden Hammer, take her back."

With a swift and decisive blow, the golden hammer knocked the man unconscious, and the man left Wanfo Temple via a side path.

Liang Ruoxue is reaping what she sowed.

"Let's go, the show must go on. This time, the lead role is played by my cousin."

Miao Cui covered her mouth and chuckled. Liang Ruoxue had covered for her, but in the end, she had helped Shen Hanyu instead.

Shen Hanyu took the sachet and went to find Wei Ming and Ji Yuxiu. For the time being, no one noticed that Liang Ruoxue was missing.
