Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Early the next morning, Rong Niang was called to the main hall and told that the Marquis of Jingnan and his wife wanted to talk to her.

Rongniang has always been afraid of the Marquis of Jingnan and his wife.

As a concubine's daughter, she had not felt much love from the two men. Instead, she understood from a young age that these two people could dominate the life and death of her and her aunt.

"Meetings, Father and Mother!"

"Get up and sit down."

Rong Niang carefully sat down on the chair on the right side of the lower room, and took the opportunity to glance at the host and hostess of the Bo's Mansion out of the corner of her eye.

The stepmother who used to be as beautiful as a flower looked very haggard today, and the father who used to be quite dignified also had dark eyes and a gloomy face.

Both of their legs were wrapped in thick gauze, and even though she was far away, she could smell the strong scent of ointment on their bodies.

Yesterday I heard from my second brother that they knelt for three days and two nights in order to beg the abbot of Cihang Temple to cure my eldest brother’s illness, and their legs became like this.

Rong Niang couldn't help but be amazed in her heart, the abbot of Cihang Temple was so majestic.

He was actually forced to kneel by his father and stepmother as punishment, and even injured his legs.

Although it was a bit unfilial, she subconsciously felt relieved.

They were told to send their aunt to a Taoist temple in the countryside and ignore everything. Now there is someone who can teach them a lesson!

Although she was thinking this in her heart, she still showed concern on her face:

"Are your parents feeling better now? Do your legs still hurt?"

After these words were spoken, their faces turned even darker.

There was no other reason, Rong Niang's question hit the sore spot of the two of them.

When the two men returned to the carriage yesterday, they found that both of their legs were completely swollen from kneeling. There were purple-red blood bruises on their knees, thighs and calves, which looked very scary.

Even though they applied the ointment immediately, they were still tortured by the stinging pain in their legs all night, and they are still in pain now.

The doctor said that the pain would last for several days, and we would have to wait until the pain and blood stasis subsided before we could know the exact extent of the injury.

In severe cases, it will also affect walking backwards.

How can one feel good when judged like this?

Moreover, when people asked about their injuries, they were reminded of the humiliation of being forced to kneel in public, and they felt extremely embarrassed.

Zhang forced a smile and said:

"Mother Rong, the doctor will take care of my and your father's injuries, so you don't have to worry. Did your second brother tell you about going to Cihang Temple for meditation yesterday?"

"Mother, I have told you." Rong Niang said respectfully.

Pei Xiao looked serious and said with a hint of warning:

"Since you want to go to your aunt, your father will help you. Today you go to Cihang Temple, you must be well-behaved and sensible to please the temple master, and you must not be naughty or mischievous, otherwise, if something bad happens, your father will never forgive you!"

Rong Niang lowered her eyes calmly, feeling only that it was somewhat ironic. Her father probably had no idea that she had ever been naughty since she was a child, otherwise he would not have said such things to her.

However, it doesn’t matter what he thinks, she has an aunt!

"Yes, my daughter remembers it!"

Zhang also gently and lovingly advised:

"When you get to Cihang Temple, find a way to find your aunt first and ask her to speak a few good words for your elder brother in front of the temple master so that the master will accept you. Also, tell her for me that there is no need to worry about Xuan'er. My uncle and I will never let him down."

Pei Xiao asked her to stay in the mansion to recuperate today and not to go to Cihang Temple with him. She pleaded several times but was not granted a response, so she decided not to force it.

After much thought, regardless of whether the temple master agreed to treat Pei Jin or not, they had to be shut up first, and not let Cihang Temple reveal that the poisoning was related to her in front of Pei Xiao, Pei Jin and Zhang Jinghong.

She couldn't do anything to the abbot of Cihang Temple, but Chen Qingzhu had been in Cihang Temple for so long, and she would definitely find a way to ensure her son's safety.

Rong Niang didn't know about Zhang's plan, but she didn't agree with asking her aunt to plead for mercy.

She had no idea how her aunt was doing in Cihang Temple. If she rashly asked her aunt to plead for mercy and she was disliked by the abbot, how would her aunt be able to gain a foothold in Cihang Temple in the future?

But in order to avoid any complications, she did not show any abnormality and agreed to everything respectfully.

Not long after, the team from the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion set off for Cihang Temple.

Rong Niang sat alone in a small carriage, with her not-so-much luggage on it, and a maid who had been taking care of her also sat in it.

If she was kept at Cihang Temple, the maid would return to the Bo's Mansion, and she would be the only one left in Cihang Temple.

In comparison, Pei Jin's carriage was large and comfortable, with two personal maids serving him at all times, and several servants following him around.

In this team, in addition to the two young masters Rong Niang and Pei Jin, there were also two adults, Pei Xiao and Zhang Jinghong, plus the accompanying maids, servants and guards, a total of twenty to thirty people.

The group traveled on the rugged mountain road for more than two hours and finally arrived outside Cihang Temple.

At this time, some people who came to watch the fun had already arrived outside the temple.

Pei Xiao sat in a wheelchair and greeted the people. He was then carried outside the Taoist temple and bowed politely to the gatekeeper Kun.

"Master, please inform that Jingnan Earl Pei Xiao, along with his eldest son and his daughter who is practicing and praying for blessings, has come to see the abbot."

Na Kundao went in to report, and came out again not long after, conveying:

"Send someone to bring in the offerings and the girl who is practicing and praying."

Hearing this, both Pei Xiao and Zhang Jinghong felt relieved.

The bet was right!

The temple master asked the people who delivered offerings and practiced cultivation to most likely take on the task of treating Pei Jin.

Pei Xiao was unable to move, so Zhang Jinghong took Rong Niang and the offerings into Cihang Temple.

Led by the gatekeeper Kun Dao, several people entered the main hall.

Taoist Master Huiyun, who was obviously the person in charge, was waiting in the main hall. When he saw the few people, he said in a very arrogant manner:

"You are not devout believers. People and offerings must be sent to the master for inspection first."

Zhang Jinghong said quickly:

"Everything must be done according to your temple's rules!"

So Huiyun asked someone to take the big box containing the offerings and took Rongniang to the East Garden.

When Rong Niang saw the style of Cihang Temple, her heart beat faster involuntarily.

Auntie is here!

But the Cihang Temple is so grand that even her father and Uncle Zhang have to show respect to them. How can she get the almighty abbot to accept her?

Nervously following the Taoist priest named Huiyun, we crossed a moon gate and saw a large area of ​​meditation rooms behind the gate.

Under the eaves of a Zen room, there stood a tall figure dressed in a white Taoist robe and a veil on his head, looking as elegant as a fairy and mysterious.

The person nodded to Taoist Master Huiyun, who then led her into a gorgeously decorated Zen room with a gentle smile on his face:

"Miss, please wait here. The master will come to see you when he is done."

Seeing her gentle and amiable attitude, Rongniang gained courage and pulled her sleeve to beg:

"Aunt! I am well-behaved and obedient, never naughty, can take care of myself, and can copy books, make lace, and embroider to earn money for the temple. Can you help me talk to the temple master and ask him to accept me!"

She followed the words she had carefully considered on the way, without mentioning her aunt at all. She only talked about the benefits she could bring to Cihang Temple, and hoped that Cihang Temple would keep her because she did not cause any trouble and was useful.

Unexpectedly, Taoist Master Huiyun couldn't help laughing:

"Don't worry, Miss. The master will definitely accept you!"

"Are you hungry after all this travel? Come, have some of your favorite pea yellow and some tea first. I'll have lunch with you when the abbot is done with his work."

Rong Niang looked at the snow-white bone china plate on the table, on which was placed her favorite pea yellow, and a look of confusion emerged in her eyes.

Why is this Cihang Temple completely different from what she imagined?

Taoist Huiyun, who had been so arrogant in front of Uncle Zhang just now, was actually so gentle and kind to her, and even said that the powerful and majestic master of the temple would come to have lunch with her.

This... this is really unbelievable!
