Yueyao sighed and said, "I really wanted to see it the year before last during the twelfth lunar month, but the monks in the temple said it was not allowed without permission. Mingzhu, you know a lot more people than I do. See if there's a way for us to get in, even if it's just for a short while." Yueyao truly longed to visit the famed plum forest.
Xiang Wei was speechless. This was an open strategy, yet it wasn't off-putting.
Bai Yi clearly understood Yueyao's plan and upon hearing Yueyao state it outright, just smiled. She felt this was for the best; her mistress was pure of heart, and it was better for her to ask for help directly than to scheme.
Mingzhu said loyally, "Don't worry, if there's really such a beautiful place, I'll make sure you see enough of it." Such a small matter was no trouble for her.
