Chapter 140 Meeting an Old Friend
It's the end of the year and the weather is good today, so even though it's not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, there are still many people going to Lingtai Temple to burn incense. Everyone wants to worship before the New Year and ask for all kinds of things.

The arrival of the Song family did not seem outstanding. At most, there were more children in their family, who looked more neat-looking, and there was also a baby in swaddling clothes.

Is this so pious?

Yes, very pious, Song Niang insisted on walking up there on her own. If it was not inconvenient, she would actually like to kowtow three times and prostrate herself nine times before the Buddha to express her gratitude and to pray.

The Song family's children are very strong and have been practicing martial arts these days, so they are not afraid of this little step.

Song Niang held Xiao Qi personally, Song Qingya was by her side, and Xiuniang was on the other side.

Xiuniang has been using the jade cream for several days, and now the big birthmark has faded to the point where it is almost invisible, so she no longer uses a mask. She still looks very beautiful and charming, and her style is not inferior to that of Song Niang.

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were laughing and jumping up and down, looking so happy, like a pair of golden boy and jade girl, making people love them at first sight.

There were guards on their sides, and some people including Le Fei were following behind them. The family finally looked like a family of status.

However, it is rare for such wealthy people to climb to Lingtai Temple on foot. Most nobles go up in horse-drawn carriages.

So in the eyes of ordinary people, they are also a bit weird and eye-catching.

It was not until they reached the gate of Lingtai Temple that Song Niang let Xiuniang hold Xiaoqi. She really couldn't hold on any longer. After all, she had just finished the confinement period, and climbing a few flights of stairs made her sweat and gasp.

But she persisted, and couldn't help but make people happy, and the traces of pen in the corners of her mouth could not be suppressed, and she looked absolutely beautiful.

It was so sudden that people were stunned.

Of course, only acquaintances were stunned.

"Are you, Qiu Niang?" A male voice sounded from the side, very surprised.

Song Niang turned her head and saw that it was an old acquaintance. It was really rare. The Song family had been in the capital for many years, but this was the first time they met this couple.

"Hey, isn't this Qiu Niang? When are you going to pay back the fifty thousand taels of silver you owe us?

Could it be that you are feeling uneasy because you can't pay it back and come here to pray to the gods?" The female voice was, of course, Mrs. Fang from Qingtong Bank, the woman who had robbed Song Niang's fiancé.

The middle-aged man who spoke first was naturally Fang Zhengfang, the boss of Qingtong Money House.

The couple never expected to meet Ye Qiuniang here, and as they hadn't seen each other for many years, they were most afraid of being compared.

Look at Ye Qiuniang, she is thirty-five or thirty-six years old and has given birth to seven children, but she still has a good figure and a fair face, and looks less than thirty years old.

It can be seen how comfortable her daily life is. Her husband has been promoted, her children are capable and cute, and now she is surrounded by many servants, and those servants all seem to have extraordinary skills.

On the other hand, the Fang family's business seems to have grown, but in fact it is not easy, and the profit is not much, and they are also being sucked dry by their father-in-law's family.

That's why Boss Fang turned his attention back to Jiangnan.

The couple only had a slightly stupid son and a daughter. Boss Fang had many illegitimate sons, but they were unable to support themselves and always looked frustrated.

So even if the couple looks harmonious but spiritually alienated and the couple looks to be in their forties, they still come to pray for a child.

It can be seen that even though they wore gold and silver and called slaves over, their lives were not very good.

Song Niang was stung by the other party's words, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she bowed gracefully to the two of them, "It turns out to be Brother Fang and Sister Fang.

The loan period has not yet expired, but my sister-in-law is short of money? If I need the Song family to repay the loan in advance, that is no problem.

After all, we Song family members are relatively shy and would not do such things as snatching or delaying. "

On the contrary, they would call you shameless and rob others of their things. "You?!" Mrs. Fang's face immediately turned red with anger, and her fat body almost couldn't stand. This damn Ye Qiuniang was still the same, and her mouth never spared anyone.

And that seductive look, even bewitching other people's husbands, humph! Bitch.

"Qiuniang, don't argue with your sister-in-law. She is joking. Just follow the formal procedures for borrowing money.

This is not the place to talk, we will visit you another day, I hope we don't disturb the Song family." Boss Fang calmed down and put on a friendly attitude.

But Song Niang just nodded lightly and called you brother and sister-in-law. You really think you are so important. If you want to marry into the Song family, you have to see what the people from Jiangnan say when they come back.

She would never believe that Fang Zheng was so honest. What if he had already taken action against the Ye family?

Song Niang didn't say whether she accepted the visit or rejected it. "I guess you two still have things to do, so I won't bother you any more." She nodded, holding a child in each hand, and turned away without hesitation.

"Hey~" Fang Zheng was still trying to finalize the visit, but Le Fei's sword was unsheathed and blocked in front of him, "The sword has no shadow, please step back."

Boss Fang was shocked and stopped pestering her. He could only let the beauty leave.

"Hmph! What are you still looking at? People don't even recognize you." Mrs. Fang pursed her lips. She looked down upon her husband who was always flattering her.

Fang Zheng frowned, glanced at her, turned around and walked away without saying a word.

This is the official daughter he insisted on marrying despite all odds. She is sarcastic and uneducated. On the other hand, Ye Qiuniang, who comes from a merchant family, is increasingly behaving like an official.

After all, I married the wrong person.
Song Niang didn't take the two men seriously at all. She took her children and went to the main hall to worship Buddha.

However, when they finished burning incense and arrived near the main hall, they were stopped outside by the guards. Of course, there were not only them, but many ordinary people queuing here.

"What's going on?"

It is said that all beings are equal in front of the Buddha. Generally speaking, when the area needs to be cleared, the monks in the temple will close the doors.

But the scene in front of me is that the guards are clearing the area. Does this mean they don't take Lingtai Temple seriously? You know, behind Lingtai Temple stands His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Who is so bold?

"It is said that the eldest princess and the wives of the officials are being baptized by the abbot."

"Then why didn't they seal the temple beforehand?"

"I'm not sure. It may not take long. A few young masters came to tell me that it will be over soon."

The people around were talking quietly. Song Niang couldn't help but frown when she heard this. "Xiuniang, what do you think?"

Because of the business, the princess has a grudge against the Song family, right? Song Niang couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Madam, let's hide in the corner." Xiuniang also felt that at this critical juncture, they should not conflict with the eldest princess.

Well, maybe they weren't known to anyone, but it was better to be cautious.

After all, there are young children around them, and not everyone is like an adult girl who can deal with anyone with ease.

"Then let's go to the corner and wait for a while." The Song family members retreated back and did not follow forward to watch and join in the fun.

But sometimes, the more they hide, the more trouble will come to them. After all, some people are specifically targeting the Song family.
