Xiangguo Temple is the favorite place for the wives and daughters of prominent families in the capital. Families would go out of their way to inquire which household was visiting the temple on any given day—if relations were strained, they would avoid crossing paths to preserve their mood; if relations were friendly, they'd often extend invitations to visit together.
Fengyu learned that the Lin sisters and Abao were at Xiangguo Temple and specifically asked a young monk about their schedule. Upon knowing they would leave in the afternoon, Fengyu took Ruyi to play in the backyard. Only after Ruyi was asleep and the Lin sisters had departed did she head to the main hall to make offerings.
Unexpectedly, the path of enemies often crosses—it was then she encountered Jiang Yang.
