There was a nunnery inside a temple, which should be an impossible thing in the world. However, it was true.

In her past life, Qu Moying only saw two old nuns in the nunnery on the mountain top, who seemed to have stayed there for a very long time.

Pei Luo’an’s explanation was the emperor asked the Dabei Temple to help run this nunnery. But the so-called help was just providing them some daily necessities, such as firewood and food-related supplies. Every first day of a month, the temple would send someone to put the supplies on the road that led to the top of the mountain, and the nuns would walk down and pick them up by themselves. All the other things about the nunnery had nothing to do with the Dabei Temple.

Because it was a direct order from the emperor, and the only path was locked. Even the temple staff couldn’t step into this area.

Qu Moying felt weird after hearing about it from the Crown Prince, but she was not too surprised since the royal family always had secrets. Since she was not involved, and the nunnery clearly had something to do with the emperor, it would be better for her not to ask about the detail.

She wasn’t sure if Pei Luo’an truly didn’t know about it or he just wanted to hide the truth from her, but she would accept whatever explanation he gave her.

She didn’t expect herself to be here again after she was reborn. Seeing the door slightly open, she was surprised that Pei Yuanjun wanted her to meet him at this place.

She raised her eyes and saw the twists and turns of the mountain road. There was no one around, and people would never expect a small nunnery on the top of the mountain.

“Yu Dong, I’ll meet Lord Yun up there?” Qu Moying pointed up and asked in a low voice.

“Yes, he is up there. My lady, please.” Yu Dong stepped back to make way for her.

“Can we really go in by ourselves?” Qu Moying’s eyes fell on the door in front of her. When she was here last time, she was accompanied by a Reception Monk from the Dabei Temple. But right now, she was only with her two maids, which made her feel a bit odd.

Even the Crown Prince needed someone to unlock the door for him. But why was this door open now?

Would this affect Pei Yuanjun?

“It should be close. You don’t need to go too further in.” Yu Dong gave her a reassuring smile, “The message I heard said Lord Yun should be nearby. My lady, shall we go?”

“Yes, let’s go!” Qu Moying thought for a few seconds and made up her mind. She walked up slowly and pushed the door more open. The metal chain hung on the door made a clang, and the metallic sound echoed in the silent mountain, somehow giving them a horrifying feeling.

After a few steps, Qu Moying suddenly stopped and pricked up her ears. “Do you hear anything?” she asked her two maids.

“I don’t hear anything, my lady.” Yu Chun shook her head.

“Someone is not far?” Yu Dong said hurriedly as the expression on his face changed. He had a good hearing and noticed the sound too.

The three of them headed toward where the sound came from in a rush. After they walked around a huge mountain rock, they saw an open space. Pei Yuanjun was standing on a rock, guarded by a group of men, while another group of killers in black stood on the opposite road and flat ground.

The two groups were having a fierce fight. Noticing the unexpected scene, Qu Moying stopped in shock and then stepped back cautiously.

“My lady, we don’t go any closer?” Yu Dong asked her subconsciously.

“To do what? To be Lord Yun’s burden in the fight?” Qu Moying’s voice was calm. When she was the Crown Princess, she had witnessed Pei Luo’an ambushed by assassins, so she was not very flustered right now.

The competition for the throne had always been full of bloodshed.

However, they still caught the two groups’ attention. Pei Yuanjun’s eyes passed the pool of blood on the ground and fell on Qu Moying’s face with an elusive look.

He saw her stepping back discreetly instead of rushing up, and his lips curled into a pleased smile. It seemed like she was not a stupid girl.

Then he moved his eyes away from her and back on the killers in front of him.

There were around twenty killers initially, and now only about seven of them were left, struggling before their death.

They all surrounded a man to protect him, who looked like their leader and got injured already. The killer leader noticed Qu Moying when she tried to move away and suddenly rushed up to her. He even took a hit from Pei Yuanjun’s guard on the way, but his movement wasn’t slowed down, heading straight to her.

Since there was no guard around her, swiftly, he rushed up to Qu Moying within a blink.

Yet still, Yu Dong was faster than him, who threw a sharp stone at him immediately.

The killer leader didn’t expect a weak maid to attack him. Unguardedly, he spitted out blood as the stone hit the spot between his eyebrows hard. Qu Moying tried to avoid him, but his blood still splattered all over her clothes.

After the leader fell on the ground, Yu Dong patted his own chest, his heart pounding. Fortunately, he picked up a sharp stone just in case anything happened, or the killer leader might have killed the Fourth Lady already. When he rushed up to them, Yu Dong saw clearly the murderous intention in his eyes.

“He hasn’t died yet!” Qu Moying suddenly yelled while stepping back.

Startled by Qu Moying’s words, Yu Dong looked down immediately, while the killer, who he thought was dead, suddenly reached out to grab Yu Dong’s leg and pull him down on the ground. As Yu Dong fell, the killed rolled upon his body and pointed his sword at Qu Moying’s stomach.

In this critical moment, a sword pierced through the killer’s body. His movement suddenly paused as the light in his eyes faded away, and then his body fell heavily.

At the same time, Yu Dong rolled away to dodge his attack and then stood up with a pale face. He quivered, looking at Pei Yuanjun, who was holding a sword behind the killer’s body. “My lord.”

He failed at protecting his master, Qu Moying, so he was supposed to be killed as punishment!

“Your punishment will be twenty lashes,” Pei Yuanjun said expressionlessly as the blood on his sword was still dripping down into the killer’s dead body.

“Th-Thank you, my lord,” Yu Dong was overjoyed. It was lucky for him that Lord Yun spared his life for the sake of the Fourth Lady.

Qu Moying’s eyes fell on the sharp sword held by Pei Yuanjun and recognized it. She not only saw it before but also danced with it once. How come it was owned by Pei Yuanjun now?

“Aren’t you afraid?” Pei Yuanjun shook the sword, and more blood splattered on the ground.

“Yes, I am!” Qu Moying said honestly. She looked pretty messy, with her clothes stained by blood, breathing heavily.

However, she was standing still. Even when she was attacked just now, she didn’t utter a sound at all.

“Since you are afraid, why didn’t you scream?” Pei Yuanjun took out a hanky from his chest pocket and tossed it to Qu Moying. She caught it and wiped her face hurriedly, and the hanky was dyed by blood immediately.

“Screaming doesn’t do anything. The killer wouldn’t decide not to kill me just because I was afraid and screaming,” Qu Moying said calmly.

Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrow, glanced at the hanky in her hand, and said meaningfully, “Now, you can scream!”

“Now?” asked Qu Moying.

“Yes, right now!” Pei Yuanjun raised his downturned eyes and stared at her calmly.

Qu Moying tilted her head and fell into thoughts for a few seconds. “Okay!” She nodded and passed the hanky back to him, “Thank you for your hanky, my lord!”

“Don’t return it to me when it’s dirty.” Pei Yuanjun ignored it, turned around, and left.

Qu Moying put it back in her pocket and left as well.

When they returned to the door they passed before, Qu Moying suddenly fell over as if she had lost all her strength. She leaned on a rock aside and started to scream, “Assassins!”

She acted like an ordinary weak noble lady and couldn’t even get up because of fear, only yelling for help.

Yu Dong and Yu Chun went up to support her on her two sides and screamed together with her in fear, “Help! Assassins! Someone! Help!”

This place was close enough to the peach forest, and their scream immediately was noticed by some people. Some young masters soon brought their servants over and hurriedly rushed up after asking them where the assassins were.

Female guests were all waiting outside the door. Hearing the horrifying news, some of them even passed out due to fear. For a moment, screams were all around the peach forest.

The fight up on the mountain ended fast. After a little while, Pei Yuanjun showed up by the end of the road with his clothes full of bloodstains. He gazed at the people standing by the peach forest, still carrying a trace of ruthlessness from the fight, which made him look even more solemn than usual. No one dared to look into his eyes.

“Which lady screamed for help?” Pei Yuanjun looked around, and his eyes fell on Qu Moying.

“It-It was me,” Qu Moying stepped forward with Yu Chun’s help and stuttered, still looking flustered.

Pei Yuanjun stared at her with a sullen face and fell into silence. After a short, scary pause, he asked, “Which family are you from?”

“Sh-She is the Fourth Lady of the Vice Minister Qu’s Family,” Yu Chun forced herself to speak for her master.

“Fourth Lady Qu, you have my gratitude. I will send some gifts to you later,” Pei Yuanjun snorted. Then he left immediately, followed by several young masters who went to help him before.

They wouldn’t miss such a good chance to build some connection with Lord Yun. Even if they didn’t want it, their families would force them to do so.

Everyone knew that Lord Yun was the most powerful person except for the emperor. The Crown Prince had his current title because he was the righteous heir as the emperor’s first son. But in actuality, who got the throne eventually was up to Lord Yun.

If Lord Yun didn’t like the Crown Prince, his title meant nothing!

After all, the Crown Prince had no military power to stand against Lord Yun.

Those young masters who were following behind Lord Yun were still afraid of him. However, they tried to help him kill those assassins, so Lord Yun wouldn’t treat them too bad. When they passed by Qu Moying, they couldn’t help but glance at her a few times. It was rare that Lord Yun expressed his gratitude in public.

They envied Fourth Lady Qu’s luck and wished they could be the one who found Lord Yun in trouble first. They never heard that Lord Yun sent gifts to someone except for those royal members.

Fourth Lady Qu earned Lord Yun’s appreciation for free just by screaming. It was like winning the lottery!

Soon after Pei Yuanjun left, Qu Moying walked away with her maids’ help while everyone was still gossiping there. Speaking of Fourth Lady Qu, people had to share the story about her canceled many-year engagement with Young Master Yongning and her famous stepmother Yu.

No matter which version of the story people heard, they all had some negative impressions of Xu Lipeng, even though he was also an unlucky victim, forced to marry a shrew and break off his own engagement. If he was still Fourth Lady Qu’s fiance, he would get so many benefits just because Fourth Lady Qu saved Lord Yun today.

But here he was, missing all the good luck for some good reasons…

For a moment, the forest was buzzing with people’s talking sounds, and many of them seemed to enjoy the gossip a lot. As for Yu, the stories about her were even more entertaining. Some people even mentioned what happened here among the ladies of the Qu Family. The rumors started to get more and more exaggerated…

Xu Lipeng, who had just arrived, heard the rumors about him and flew into a rage. Irritated, he turned around and left immediately.

Yu Qingmeng and Qu Qiuyan were in the crowd, too. Yu Qingmeng saw Xu Lipeng leaving and wanted to catch up with him, but got stopped by Qu Qiuyan, who was wearing a sullen face…
