Chapter 279
Early in the morning.
Qin Luoxia arrived at Tai'a Temple.
Today, Qin Luoxia was dressed very neatly.
She wasn't wearing all white.
She liked to wear red for everyday wear.
Not the red of a primary wife, but a red that wouldn't show blood stains too obviously.
She wasn't afraid of blood stains.
Besides, red was lively.
Bright and prosperous.
Brother Cong said Elder Brother Zi liked lively things, so on the second day of the memorial service, Qin Luoxia wore red.
Lively.
She was tall, with a fit body from consistent exercise, big eyes and a high nose bridge, with well-defined lips. Her appearance was bright and bold.
Her eyebrows were thick, and her hair was neat and tidy.
When she arrived at the temple, she found that there were even more monks performing the service today, and they seemed to be striking the wooden fish with more sincerity.
Yesterday, she had noticed one or two monks just mouthing the words, not truly chanting sutras.
Today, everyone looked spirited and was chanting earnestly. The number of people had doubled, making it seem much more grand.
Qin Luoxia thought to herself, no wonder the monks in the Capital City make money.
Their attitude was impeccable.
In other places, people slack off after getting paid, or they work hard on the first day and then become perfunctory.
The temples in the Capital City had a higher level of consciousness, they were truly different.
On the second day, there were even more monks.
Each one wore a brand new kasaya, solemn and dignified, constantly circling. It made her dizzy to watch, but she felt it was worth the money now.
Big brother likes lively scenes, seeing so many bald heads would surely make him happy.
As far as the eye could see, there was a sea of heads, incredibly bright, dazzling to look at.
Seeing that they hadn't skimped on monks, Qin Luoxia left the hall.
After some thought, she walked towards the same place as yesterday.
Qin Luoxia was actually quite adventurous at heart.
On the surface, she was an unremarkable housewife, but in reality, she was a housewife with a spirit of adventure.
Like when a doctor once said that python gallbladder could cure illness, others heard it, thought it impossible, and forgot about it, but she kept it firmly in mind.
One day, she finally got her hands on a python gallbladder.
In some ways, Madam Qin was also a person of strong execution.
She was actually a very confident person. She felt that her husband was so handsome and talented that she felt somewhat inferior inside, but outwardly she showed nothing but confidence. She worked hard, feeling that she deserved such a good husband, that she was worthy, capable, a good match.
She relentlessly pursued strength, going hunting in the mountains every day right after giving birth, honing her skills without slacking. While other women gossiped at the village entrance, she was hunting bears in the mountains.
She believed that she might be poor now, but wouldn't be poor forever. For her children and husband, she kept getting stronger.
She was very purposeful in her actions, never doing useless things or trying to prove herself. Back when she was in Kan'er Village, despite the rumors, she never explained herself to anyone. She just steadily did her own thing until the day came when she could beat the rumor-mongers to death with one stick.
When it mattered, she could act. She could be tough when needed, smile when appropriate, and kill when necessary.
This Madam Qin, sensing something was off and there was a killing intent in the temple, decided to investigate.
It seemed a bit different from yesterday, that corner had changed, but it didn't matter. Madam Qin carefully circled around, her memory was excellent, slowly recalling the scenes in her mind. Finally, after passing the third main hall, she took a step forward from the side, as if stepping into thin air.
Indeed, she didn't step into thin air.
She walked in.
This time, instead of a pavilion, she saw a small lake.
As soon as she entered, she didn't feel the presence of a group of strong beasts like yesterday, but saw an old woman dressed oddly, plunging headfirst into the water.
"Whoa!"
How despondent must one be?
Wanting to jump into water to end it all in the dead of winter?
That's a very cold way to die.
Without thinking, Qin Luoxia jumped into the water (of course not), she threw out her long whip, instantly coiling around the old woman who had jumped in and pulling her back.
In a situation with unknown dangers, Qin Luoxia wouldn't jump into the water, putting herself in harm's way.
She pulled the old woman back and placed her on the grass.
She immediately started scolding: "Madam, you've lived to such an age, and you're still trying to end your life? You've wasted all these years!"
Princess Huiyun: ... Trembling with anger.
She just wanted to go winter swimming. Winter swimming, swimming in winter is very good for the body, maintains figure and curves.
What did she mean by 'lived to such an age'.
But because she was going into the water, all the guards had been sent elsewhere.
Qin Luoxia saw her shivering all over, thinking she was frozen, and took off her own red cape to wrap around the other.
Princess Huiyun, lifted up and wrapped into a roll: ...
Although she calls me madam, she's really more like a mother than my own mother o(╥﹏╥)o.
