Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

However, Zhang was not in such a happy mood after getting on the carriage.

Because Li Ma, who was beside her aunt, also went with her to burn incense.

Before leaving, Nanny Li came over and said in front of Pei Xiao:

"Master, there is a precedent that Madam Bo did not discipline her subordinates and offended Cihang Temple. Who knows if someone will make the same mistake again this time! This is related to Jin'er's health. I think I am a person who knows the rules, so I want to ask an elder to follow Madam Bo to discipline the servants. I wonder if Master Bo and Madam Bo will agree?"

Nanny Li was the confidant of Madam Zhang, and Pei Xiao had some respect for her. Moreover, her concerns were not without reason.

Hearing this, he naturally felt that it was appropriate and said politely:

"Then we'll trouble Madam Li and Madam to go with us."

Zhang had to pretend to be virtuous and loving in front of Pei Xiao. Even though she hated this abominable old woman in her heart, she could only smile and say:

"Since Madam Li is willing to take the trouble, then let's go together. You are a mature and prudent person, and I will feel more at ease if you go along."

So, Nanny Li followed and got on the carriage.

The two people who disliked each other jostled together in the narrow space for more than two hours before arriving at Cihang Temple.

Zhang originally thought that she would just burn some incense and offer sacrifices at Cihang Temple as a perfunctory gesture.

However, now that Nanny Li was watching her, she would not be able to complete her mission unless she showed her sincerity.

Having cursed Nanny Li a thousand times in her heart, Zhang finally put on the expression of a loving mother worried about her son when she got out of the car.

After entering Cihang Temple, one first burns incense and kowtows in the front hall, and then enters the main hall to offer sacrifices.

Seeing the offering plates placed on the altars in the main hall, Zhang felt like she was being gnawed by ants.

There are three offering tables in the main hall, with more than ten plates of offerings on them.

The items on each plate, just looking at the gold and jade items, are worth more than three to five hundred taels, not to mention the expensive tea and wine.

The value of this batch of offerings alone is almost as much as her dowry that year.

This rural Taoist temple that had repeatedly gone against her could actually receive so many valuable offerings!

Moreover, the offerings she had carefully prepared, which were worth more than five hundred taels and which she thought would appear very luxurious, were extremely ordinary here and could not stand out at all.

If she had to make offerings every time she came, I wonder how much money she would have to spend.

It makes people feel very aggrieved to give so much money to an enemy like Cihang Temple for nothing.

But if she wants to put on a good show, she has to do it fully. If she wants Zhang Jinghong and Pei Xiao to see her sincerity, she must not be stingy with the offerings.

Prepared herself mentally, Zhang walked forward with a polite smile and said to the receptionist who looked like the person in charge:

"Master, I am the wife of the Marquis of Jingnan. I have come here specially to apologize to your temple and ask you to treat my son's illness! This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it!"

Having said that, she asked the second-class maid beside her to present the offerings.

When Huiyun heard the other party's identity, she was suddenly shocked.

Two days ago, after Qin Dafu and his daughter left, the abbot said that people from the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion or the Zhang family would come in the near future and asked her to be prepared.

Unexpectedly, not only did she come just two days after I said that, but she was the wife of the Marquis of Jingnan.

The abbot had previously instructed that if someone came, they should just refuse them directly.

But now that the person who came was the wife of the Marquis of Jingnan, she was a little unsure whether she should be treated specially.

After all, the abbot was sent to Jingci Temple by the wife of the Marquis of Jingnan.

Now that the wife of the Marquis of Jingnan has come to us on her own initiative, if we don’t entertain her well, wouldn’t it be unfair to the suffering the master had to endure at her hands in the past!

Although she was eager to try, she did not hesitate, but said:

"Take your offerings yourself for now. I have to ask the abbot whether to accept them or not."

Compared with other pilgrims, his tone was much colder.

Zhang had never expected that even though she had sent offerings so courteously and politely, the attitude of the Cihang Temple would be so arrogant.

Ever since she married Pei Xiao, few people dared to treat her like this.

What's more, he was not a big shot, but just a receptionist at a rural Taoist temple.

At this moment, she finally understood why Nanny Liu had a conflict with Cihang Temple as soon as she arrived. It was really the Taoist nuns here who were so arrogant and rude!

She couldn't help but show a bit of displeasure on her face.

Qing Liu, who was standing next to him, thought he was the best at reading people's expressions, and immediately scolded him:

"How dare you be so rude to Madam Bo!"

Seeing this, Nanny Li's face turned cold. She walked forward and slapped Qingliu hard on the face, then turned to Zhang and said:

"Madam, have you forgotten what we are here for today? You brought such an arrogant and rude girl with you!"

Qingliu was Zhang's maid, and this slap was not much different from hitting Zhang directly in the face.

But Qingliu was too reckless, which gave Nanny Li a handle on her. In order to prevent Nanny Li from talking nonsense to Zhang Jinghong when she returned, Zhang had to swallow her anger.

She looked at Qingliu unkindly:

"Why don't you apologize to the Taoist priest?"

Qingliu felt very aggrieved, but had to obey.

"I'm sorry, Taoist priest. I am the one who offended you!"

Huiyun did not comment:

"Wait a moment, I'll go ask the abbot for instructions."

After saying that, he quickly went to the East Garden.

After knocking on the door, she immediately reported the events in the main hall to the abbot in a concise manner.

Chen Qingzhu was not surprised that Zhang came in person.

The Jingnan Marquis's Mansion can now be returned to the capital, so the so-called confinement in these last few days will naturally not be too strict.

Zhang has always loved to act, so how could she miss such a good opportunity to show her motherly kindness?

Moreover, Zhang must not be willing to let Pei Jin be truly cured.

With her scheming and tactics, she must be planning to take the opportunity to offend Cihang Temple even more, completely cut off Pei Jin's chance of receiving treatment, and make the Zhang family's direct branch hate Cihang Temple.

It was entirely reasonable that she would come.

Moreover, now that the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion needs help from the Cihang Temple, some powers will become invalid if they are not used after the expiration date.

Even if Zhang didn't intend to come, she would have someone send her here.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingzhu couldn't help but smile:

"Since Madam Bo has come here on her own initiative, we must treat her well."

"Huiyun, go tell them that since the Marquis' Mansion can think of sending the arsonist to apologize, then Cihang Temple is willing to accept the apology of the Marquis' Mansion of Jingnan."

Huiyun was very surprised and puzzled:

"Does the Master intend to forgive the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion just like that?"

Chen Qingzhu pretended to be noble and said:

"Of course, we outsiders should be magnanimous."

As Huiyun looked increasingly puzzled, Chen Qingzhu changed the subject:

"However, although I, as the temple master, can no longer care about the disrespect of Lady Jingnan, she also offended the gods. Setting fire to the Taoist temple is a serious crime. I cannot easily forgive her on behalf of the gods."

"If she really wants to atone for her sins, she should kneel outside the Cihang Temple for five days before discussing the matter of curing the eldest son of the Pei family."

It only takes five days, and Zhang Jinghong and others will definitely wait for a definite answer before returning to the capital.

Only with these audiences around did Zhang perform hard. It may not be the case if the time is longer.

After hearing the latter part of the conversation, Huiyun's frown finally relaxed and she couldn't help laughing.

She was saying, when did the master become a saint who could swallow a spit in the face?

This move is truly amazing. It is very harmful and insulting, yet it is impossible to find fault with it!

She was looking forward to seeing how the seemingly polite but actually arrogant Lady Jingnan would react after hearing these words.
