Chapter 21: The Original Plot is Disrupted_l

Translator: 549690339

“You don’t have to bother about me. Go and play with the other girls. Do what

you have to do.”

“But, mother asked me to spend more time with you.”

“No need, no need. I can just find a corner and sit by myself.”

“But…”

“No buts!”

After Wei Ruo finished speaking, she didn’t wait for Wei Qingwan to respond

and ran away.

Wei Qingwan couldn’t catch up with Wei Ruo, feeling dejected. She couldn’t understand what Wei Ruo meant and vaguely sensed that Wei Ruo really doesn’t like her, hence avoiding her.

Wei Ruo was not in the mood to care about what Wei Qingwan was thinking, and after shaking her off, she started to find her way.

Firstly, she absolutely must avoid the zen chambers at the back. The male lead was currently residing in the zen chambers behind Huafa Temple.

To receive the female relatives today, the Huafa Temple did not receive any other pilgrims. However, the male lead, who was staying in the zen chambers behind the hill, was an exception. He had already moved in a few days ago, and because of his special identity, the temple didn’t inform Madam Qian and the others in advance to maintain his secrecy.

Under normal circumstances, the zen chamber was on the hill behind the temple and it was some distance away from the main building of the temple. The female visitors to the temple would be unlikely to encounter it.

But what if the author wants the female lead and the male lead to meet? Then she, this cannon fodder female supporting character, would play her role in stirring up trouble.

The original character was not well received, and she was embarrassed in public. Hearing others praise Wei Qingwan deepened her feelings of comparison and hurt.

Moreover, the original character felt that what Wei Qingwan has now originally belonged to her, which intensified her anger. So the jealousy-filled and angry original character deliberately took Wei Qingwan to the back hill intending to find a quiet place to seek revenge on her.

But then the male lead who was residing in the Zen dormitory of the back hill rescued her. The hero saved the beauty, scholars and beauties, and a wonderful story thus unfolded.

This plot, how should I put it… It could only be said that it was very appropriate for the cannon fodder female supporting character. Her methods of revenge were both clumsy and pale.

And now, Wei Ruo has two things to do:

First, to avoid Wei Qingwan, not to be with her. Wei Ruo will not intentionally hurt Wei Qingwan but in case the plot tries to stir up trouble, Wei Ruo has decided it would be better to not even see her.

Second, to avoid the male lead, in the original novel, the original character died at the hands of the male lead in the end. Even though Wei Qingwan, as the innocent and pure-hearted female lead, always remained gracious and kind, the male lead is not the same. He would never be merciful towards a female supporting character who tried to hurt his beloved.

After wandering around, Wei Ruo finally chose to sit under a ginkgo tree behind the Guanyin Hall.

The trunk of the ginkgo tree was sturdy; even a few Wei Ruos together couldn’t wrap their arms around it. In spring, the ginkgo tree was filled with green fan-shaped leaves. The small fans hanging from the branches of the tree looked attractive.

Wei Ruo sat down leaning against the ginkgo tree trunk, closed her eyes to rest.

The sunshine was just right, and the shade under the tree was cool. A gentle breeze blew, making it an ideal place for a nap.

“Why are you sitting here alone?”

A voice suddenly appeared, interrupting Wei Ruo’s daydreaming.

“Daydreaming.” Wei Ruo looked at Xie Ying and then closed her eyes again.

“Aren’t you going to play with them?” Xie Ying asked.

“I don’t want to play. I’m not interested in what they’re talking about.”

“Then what are you interested in?” Xie Ying asked again.

One question after another forced Wei Ruo to open her eyes and face Xie Ying directly.

The little girl was about the same age as her current body, her face was delicate and plump, and there was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows.

-Why is Miss Xie so curious about me?” Wei Ruo was puzzled. This Miss Xie should be quite popular, why did she not go and play with the others and instead run to her to ask questions?

“No, I’m not interested in you. I’m interested in the place where you’re sitting now.”

“The place where I am sitting?”

“This ginkgo tree is my chosen place for some peace and quiet, which you’ve occupied. If you are not particularly fond of this place, would you be able to give up this spot for me? I want to sit here alone for a while. Of course, if you promise not to disturb me, I can also allow you to stay here.

Turns out they’re birds of a feather!

Wei Ruo smiled and said, “I quite like sitting here too. I won’t disturb you, we can each lie on one side. Look how thick the trunk of this ginkgo tree is, one person on each side can’t even see the other.

“Sure then.” Xie Ying accepted Wei Ruo’s proposal, went to the other side of the ginkgo tree and sat down.

Separated by the trunk, on either side, neither disturbed the other.

After an unknown period of time, a sudden noise drifted towards them, waking up the two lounging girls under the ginkgo tree.

Wei Ruo and Xie Ying both lifted their heads and peeped out to look at each other.

Their expressions were almost the same, containing a hint of grogginess from just waking up, and a trace of hesitation.

Hesitant about whether they should go check it out.

“What do you think happened over there?” Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo.

“Do you think we should go over?” Wei Ruo asked Xie Ying.

-Why don’t we just lie down? Even if anything has happened, it probably has nothing to do with us,” Xie Ying said.

“Yes, let’s lie down,” Wei Ruo agreed.

The two were surprisingly in sync – both wanting to loiter. And so, they both lay down again.

Wei Ruo and Xie Ying rested peacefully leaning against the ginkgo tree, oblivious to the chaos that had erupted up ahead.

The two people who were involved in the incident were Wei Qingwan and Magistrate’s daughter Qian Zhilan.

After being ditched by Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan found Qian Zhilan, who she got along with quite well.

As the Magistrate’s daughter, Qian Zhilan usually looked down upon other girls from Xingshan County. The assistants and county magistrates were all subordinate to her father, and only Wei Qingwan’s family held a position similar to her father’s.

She admired Xie Ying, but Xie Ying didn’t like her in return and didn’t play with her.

Wei Qingwan and Qian Zhilan walked around the temple admiring the scenery. At first, they just strolled around the temple, but the Huafa Temple in Xingshan County was not that large, so it didn’t take them long to finish their tour.

That was when Qian Zhilan spotted a quiet path through a small door on the west side of the temple and pulled Wei Qingwan along to check it out.

After walking for a while, they discovered a zen chamber ahead, with blooming flowers and lush trees in front of it, creating a pleasant scene.

The scene perfectly matched the verse from the poem: a winding path leading to a secluded, quiet spot, with a Zen room immersed in deep foliage.

Qian Zhilan then pulled Wei Qingwan towards the zen chamber.

When they approached, a man dressed as a servant scolded them and told them they were not allowed near it.

Qian Zhilan revealed her identity and warned the man that they had exclusively booked the Huafa Temple for the day, and that the man, an idle person, was not allowed in, ordering him to leave at once.

But the man ignored her, prompting Qian Zhilan to drag Wei Qingwan back to find her mother, and exaggeratedly described how they had found idlers near the zen chamber in the back.

On hearing from her daughter that there was a suspicious-looking man, Madam Qian swiftly sent people to search the area around the zen chamber, causing a big stir.

Upon hearing of Madam Qian’s actions, the Abbot of the temple rushed over to stop them and revealed a shocking piece of news to everyone..
