The arrival of Xiao Heng and Lin Yuan seemed to be just a small episode and did not disrupt the lives of Qiao Nian and Xiao He.

Ningshuang took two more medical books from the doctor.

One is about the follow-up treatment of Xiao He's leg injury, and the other is thicker, but it is the hard work recorded by the government doctors over the years.

Ningshuang said that the doctor thought Qiao Nian was talented and wanted Qiao Nian to learn more.

Probably because of watching her grow up, Qiao Nian always felt that the doctor was somewhat partial to her.

Otherwise, how could he be willing to give himself such a medical book that would most likely reveal his identity as a government doctor?

Not wanting to let down the good intentions of the government doctor, Qiao Nian would take out medical books and read them when she had free time, but completely forgot about Xiao Heng and Lin Yuan.

Unexpectedly, on this day, Xiao's mother suddenly came to the courtyard early in the morning and said that she would take Qiao Nian to Fahua Temple to pray for blessings.

"Pray for blessings?" Xiao He looked puzzled, "Today is not a Buddha's birthday, so why did Mom suddenly think of praying for blessings?"

Xiao's mother smiled and said, "Although it's not the Buddha's birthday, there is a master in Fahua Temple today who is chanting sutras and spreading the Dharma. I heard that he is an eminent monk, so naturally I want to go there so that I can pray for you and Heng'er. A symbol of peace."

As he said that, as if he was afraid that Qiao Nian wouldn't want to go, he added, "Yuan'er will also go with me."

"..." Xiao He glanced at Qiao Nian and thought, if Lin Yuan goes, Qiao Nian will probably be even more reluctant to go.

Immediately he said, "Ke Niannian still needs to heal the child's legs."

Now I'm afraid this is the only excuse to keep Qiao Nian.

Unexpectedly, Mother Xiao's face suddenly darkened, "I don't want to heal your legs, but I think you just can't bear to let Nian Nian accompany me!"

With that said, Xiao's mother walked to Qiao Nian, took Qiao Nian's hand, and said to Xiao He, "It's naturally a big deal to treat your leg, but it's not a small matter to ask for a peace charm for you. Nian Nian hasn't refused yet. It's better for me, but you don't want to let Niannian accompany me!"

What Xiao's mother said was a bit like 'after marrying a daughter-in-law, you forget your mother'.

Even Xiao He was a little unable to refute, "That's not what I meant."

"What does that mean?" Xiao's mother asked back, "Niannian never said from the beginning to the end that she wouldn't accompany me! Right Niannian!"

Only now did Xiao's mother pass the words to Qiao Nian, and she looked so intimate, as if they were mother and daughter.

Qiao Nian was resisting in her heart.

He really wanted to refuse.

But unexpectedly, Mother Xiao said again, "Nuan Nuan is going too, and all the female relatives of the Xiao family are going too today!"

In this way, Qiao Nian was not even given a chance to refuse.

Qiao Nian sighed inwardly and could only say, "Maybe I haven't been out of the house for a long time, so I might as well take a walk."

Mother Xiao immediately beamed with joy, pulled Qiao Nian and walked out, "That's good, everything is ready, we can set off immediately."

Qiao Nian looked back at Xiao He helplessly. Seeing Xiao He's brows furrowed slightly with a worried look on his face, Qiao Nian curled up his lips and smiled to indicate that he was fine.

Outside the mansion, the carriage was indeed ready.

Four female dependents and two carriages.

Xiao's mother and Lin Yuan sat in a car, and Qiao Nian followed Xiao Qingnuan and sat in the back car.

But it was obvious that Xiao Qingnuan was also reluctant. Seeing the carriage driving towards the city gate, she couldn't help complaining, "Well, you suddenly said you were going to pray. I really don't understand what my mother is thinking!"

Qiao Nian was a little surprised, "Didn't my mother-in-law inform you in advance?"

She thought that Mother Xiao suddenly came to her because she was afraid that she would find an excuse to refuse.

But he didn't expect that even Xiao Qingnuan only found out this morning.

Xiao Qingnuan shook her head, "No! I was going to go swimming in the lake with Song Baixuan today!"

At this point, Xiao Qingnuan began to complain non-stop, "I really don't know where I heard it, that there are enlightened monks coming to teach the Dharma. It's mysterious, weird..."

Qiao Nian sat aside and said nothing.

But I have already noticed a trace of uneasiness in my heart.

She subconsciously raised her hand, touched the pebbles around her waist, and then touched the hairpin on her head, her eyebrows still slightly twisted.

However, today at Fahua Temple there is actually an eminent monk coming to chant sutras and spread the Dharma.

The Xiao family was not the only one who came to Fahua Temple.

Qiao Nian followed Xiao's mother and sat quietly on her knees, looking at the people in the Buddha Hall. Her inner uneasiness finally eased a little.

After listening to the Buddhist teachings, Mother Xiao led several people to pray for the eminent monk and asked for a few peace charms before leaving.

Some of the other families had left long ago, and some were still waiting for the eminent monk to pray for blessings at Fahua Temple. Therefore, there were only two carriages from the Xiao Mansion on the road.

Xiao Qingnuan leaned against the car wall, already drowsy.

Qiao Nian also felt a little sleepy, and was about to close her eyes and rest, but unexpectedly, the car shook violently, waking Xiao Qingnuan up.

The carriage also stopped.

There was a shout outside, "Who are you!"

Hearing this, Xiao Qingnuan and Qiao Nian were both shocked.

He hurriedly opened the curtain and looked out, only to see a dozen assassins in black running out from the front of the carriage and blocking the way.

Faced with the questioning of the guards in the palace, the other party did not say anything. He directly drew his sword and attacked the guards.

The guards immediately drew their swords and responded.

However, the targets of those men in black were the people in the carriage.

I saw a group of men in black stopping the guards, while another group attacked the two carriages.

Xiao Qingnuan was suddenly startled and shouted, "Sister-in-law, be careful!" After that, she rushed out of the carriage.

She wanted to go to the first carriage to protect her mother!

However, Xiao Qingnuan had no weapons in her hands. Even if she had some kung fu skills, she was just a mediocre one like Qiao Nian.

It was okay to deal with one or two assassins, but there were more than one or two assassins at this time.

Seeing an assassin stabbing the long sword at Xiao Qingnuan's chest, Qiao Nian was shocked. At the same time, he kicked the assassin who broke into the carriage out, took out the stone from his waist and shot it at the assassin with the sword.

The stone hit the back of the assassin's hand steadily, and the assassin felt pain and paused.

Xiao Qingnuan saw the opportunity, dodged the assassin's long sword, and cut the assassin's neck.

Blood splattered.

Xiao Qingnuan did not forget to turn around and said to Qiao Nian, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, a stream of white powder sprayed on her face.

Xiao Qingnuan didn't even have time to say the second sentence before her eyes went dark and she passed out.

Qiao Nian was shocked and was about to rush out of the carriage, but the same white powder was also coming from outside the carriage.

A strong feeling of dizziness came over her.

Qiao Nian also fell down drowsily.

Before she closed her eyes completely, she saw several assassins rush into the first carriage and carry Madam Xiao and Lin Yuan out...
