The old lady asked the nanny beside her to inform Jiang Ning.
Before the nanny came to inform, Jiang Ning had already learned the news.
Shuangyue has strong martial arts and Qinggong skills. She can sneak into all the courtyards quietly and overhear the conversation between the old lady and Marquis Jiang.
This time they went to Qingyun Temple not just to burn incense and pray, but to make a marriage arrangement between her and Young Master Lu.
Jiang Ning's eyes lowered, calm.
Not a single surprise.
In the hearts of the old lady and Lord Jiang, she is just a pawn. It doesn't matter who she marries, as long as she can help the Marquis Mansion and bring benefits to the Marquis Mansion.
Jiang Ning put her hand on the table and tapped it gently and regularly.
This time, it was a good opportunity for her to make a clean break with the Lu family.
As long as the horoscopes are manipulated and changed into conflicting horoscopes, the Lu family will not settle on this marriage.
The nanny next to Old Madam Jiang went to Ning'an Yuan to inform her of the news, and she also sent her luxurious jewelry.
"Miss, the old lady is going to Qingyun Temple to offer incense in three days. You must be prepared and accompany the old lady well."
Jiang Ning glanced at the jewelry and nodded with a faint smile, "I will."
.........
Three days later.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Marquis Mansion.
Jiang Ning walked out early and waited at the door.
After a while, the old lady was helped out by a servant. When she saw Jiang Ning dressed plainly and elegantly, without wearing any jewelry on her head or face, she couldn't help but frown and ask displeasedly, "Why are you dressed so plainly?"
Today they are going to see Mrs. Lu. Dressing like this, what should she do if Mrs. Lu doesn’t like it.
Jiang Jing calmly replied, "Today we are going to Qingyun Temple to offer incense. If I dressed up heavily, it would be inconsistent with the pure land of Buddhism, so I made my own decision and dressed up a little more elegantly but plainly."
Although the old lady was not happy, she thought it made some sense and didn't say much.
She got on the carriage and said calmly, "Come up."
Jiang Ning got on the carriage and sat next to the old lady.
The ride was silent.
Jiang Ning was quiet and looked cold.
The old lady glanced at her granddaughter several times on the way, twirling the beads in her hand. Compared to Jiang Mengyue, who was gentle and considerate, Jiang Ning was much colder.
There was not a hint of wanting to curry favor on Jiang Ning's face, not even a word of greeting, as if she were a stranger.
The old lady was upset and complained a little, not liking her granddaughter even more.
Jiang Ning didn't notice the old lady's gaze, she just turned a blind eye.
In her previous life, she did everything to please the old lady, but what did she get in the end?
She is just a stranger who occupies the position of the daughter of the Marquis family. No matter how she tries to please her, she cannot get into the eyes of the old lady.
In this case, just do nothing.
She didn't want to bother trying to please someone who didn't matter anymore.
The carriage stopped.
"Old Madam, Miss, we have arrived at Qingyun Temple." The driver's voice came from outside the carriage.
The maid helped the old lady get out of the carriage.
Jiang Ning followed behind and looked up at the plaque of Qingyun Temple.
By chance, the Lu family's carriage drove over and stopped slowly.
Mrs. Lu stepped out of the carriage and smiled with satisfaction when she saw the Jiang family, especially the elegant girl behind her.
If there is no problem with the combination of the eight birth characters, the marriage will be decided.
The two families walked into Qingyun Temple together.
Jiang Ning first accompanied the old lady inside to offer incense and bow.
There are not many people offering incense today, only a few.
Jiang Ning walked over, knelt on the futon, put her hands together, and looked up at the Buddha statue.
Thank God for giving her a chance to start over.
Jiang Ning closed her eyes and knelt down sincerely.
After kneeling down and worshiping, she stood up and prepared to add money for incense oil.
When she raised her eyes, she saw the figure of a young man with a tall and well-proportioned figure, looking straight at her.
Jiang Ning paused, her eyelashes trembled, and she blinked, Chu Yunli?
The two looked at each other for a moment, Jiang Ning said nothing, pretending to be a stranger, turned a blind eye, and turned to add money for incense oil.
Chu Yunli's eyes fell directly on her and did not move away.
He also strode over and added money for incense oil.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but frown when she saw the person standing next to her. They were outside now, and there were many people around. If he said hello at this time, wouldn't it expose their relationship?
Wait....
In fact, it doesn't matter, I'm just familiar with him after meeting him a few times.
Jiang Ning pursed her lips.
At this time, the maid came over and said, "Miss, the old lady asked you to go to the backyard to rest, and we will go to see Master Huizhi later."
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "Okay."
She turned around and left, and when she left, she could still feel the vague gaze on her.
The backyard of the temple is a resting place for pilgrims.
Jiang Ning walked into the house to rest.
After a while, the door opened with a creak, and Shuangyue walked in.
Jiang Ning put down the teacup, raised her eyes, and asked, "How is it? Did you find out?"
Shuangyue nodded, "Miss and Master Lu's birthdates were sent to Master Huizhi's room. Master Huizhi is teaching the Dharma to the pilgrims now, and he hasn't seen the horoscopes yet."
"Very good." Jiang Ning stood up suddenly, a light flashing in her eyes, "This is a good opportunity."
"You wait here, I'll come as soon as I can!"
Jiang Ning did not delay and used Qinggong to go to Master Huizhi's room. Her figure was silent and unnoticed.
She wanted to tamper with the birthdates and make up the horoscopes according to Master Lu's numerology. She had read numerology books and it was not difficult to make up a birth horoscope.
Soon, she successfully sneaked into Master Huizhi's room.
At a glance, she saw two pieces of paper on the table.
Jiang Ning walked over, glanced at it, and recognized that the one on the right was her birth date. She picked it up, and the other one belonged to Master Lu.
She looked at Master Lu's birthday and frowned slightly.
After thinking for a while, she took out a simple pen and paper, wrote down the made-up birth date, and placed it in its original place.
In this case, if their fates are incompatible, the Lu family will not agree to the marriage.
The old lady's good plan is about to come to nothing.
Jiang Ning didn't miss her marriage with the Lu family at all, and turned around to leave.
She walked to the door and was about to open the door and walk out.
Suddenly she heard movement outside the door. She stopped and saw Master Huizhi and several masters walking towards the room through the crack in the door.
Jiang Ning's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly looked for another way to get out. If someone caught her, all her hard work would be in vain...
But after looking around, she found that there was no rear window in this room, so she had no way to escape.
"Oh no!"
The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, and she felt urgent.
