Chapter 327: Chapter 328: Jade Buddha Temple (Second update)_1

Wan Jian’an said, "Indeed, I am not sure why Madam suddenly brought this up?"

"Oh, when you went to invite Guard Xia, did you hear anything about him having a fiancee?" Gossiping was inherent in women’s nature. If they didn’t find out the full story, they wouldn’t be satisfied.

Wan Jian’an thought for a while, "At that time... they were not yet engaged. They might have gotten engaged over this period of time."

"Oh, so you’ve met the girl from Guard Xia’s family?"

"Not only have I met her, but I’m also quite familiar with her," Wan Jian’an said with a smile. He knew that Lady Song didn’t put on airs at the Yamen. She was good-hearted, liked to joke with those beneath her, and was also a bit gossipy.

Lady Song then asked curiously, "What does Guard Xia’s fiancee look like?"

Wan Jian’an hadn’t seen Nan Feng for a long time. However, he heard from his wife that she often saw Nan Feng visiting Ye Ge. His wife said that Nan Feng was a pretty girl, which made him question his wife’s taste. They had several arguments over this and his wife once even threw a cup in anger, exclaiming, "There’s nothing wrong with my taste. If there was, I wouldn’t find you ugly. Just look at yourself!"

Now, Wan Jian’an dared not say that Nan Feng was unattractive, so he said, "Guard Xia’s fiancee...fits him pretty well."

Lady Song blurted out, "I suppose so. Guard Xia is so handsome, it wouldn’t be easy for him to find a beautiful girl."

Wan Jian’an continued, "Dragons couple with dragons, and phoenixes with phoenixes. Guard Xia naturally has a suitable lady."

Song Cheng, who was going through some documents, couldn’t help but look up and say, "Don’t say that. As long as they are soulmates, appearances aren’t important."

Of course, the tone of Song Cheng was tolerant, so Lady Song didn’t take it to heart. She just playfully said to Song Cheng, "I’m just a little curious. Guard Xia’s fiancee is so good at business, she must be very smart. And she also donated so much money to the refugees, she must be a kind-hearted lady. I wish I could meet her if I get the chance."

Song Cheng then said, "You should meet her when you have time. Not just you, I am also interested in meeting this extraordinary lady."

Seeing that Song Cheng was also interested, Wan Jian’an told him about Nan Feng’s deeds in Da Ping village. He also praised Nan Feng, which caused Lady Song to become even more interested in her.

...

In the outskirts of the county.

On the road leading to Jade Buddha Mountain, a horse-drawn carriage moved slowly. The man driving the carriage was Ye Ge, and inside the carriage were Lady Song and her daughter, Song Xiaoyue, along with one of Lady Song’s maids.

Lord Song always loved and cared for Lady Song. So when she said she wanted to go to the Jade Buddha Temple to worship, he immediately arranged for Ye Ge to accompany her.

As Ye Ge was the most skilled in martial arts in the Yamen, Lord Song believed that he could protect his wife and daughter.

Lady Song was in her forties and her daughter, Song Xiaoyue, was over seventeen. In this era, seventeen-year-old girls should have been married already, but due to her father’s constant transfers, Song Xiaoyue’s marriage had been delayed.

Furthermore, after arriving at HP County, she was the daughter of the county magistrate and there weren’t many matches of equal status. Lady Song’s trip to the Jade Buddha Temple was partly to pray for her daughter’s marriage prospects.

The Jade Buddha Temple was located in a valley on Jade Buddha Mountain. The carriage could only go as far as the foot of the mountain. To reach the temple, they had to walk up the mountain devotedly. There was a tea stall at the foot of the mountain where Ye Ge left the carriage and entrusted the owner to watch over the horses. Then, he escorted Lady Song and her daughter up the mountain.
