Traveling to the ancient harem

She had thought about this matter coming to light, but she didn't expect it to be so serious. The woman arrested Tao'er and tortured her. Tao'er couldn't bear the torture and confessed everything, including the fact that she met her cousin at home, that she was pregnant, and that she bribed the servants to drug her. What a shrew she was. She was obviously weak but still brought a group of people to beat her up. She threw Tao'er, who was still breathing, at the door and deliberately stood at the door shouting for an explanation.

There were so many people watching the fun. Her mother was so ashamed and angry that she rushed to her yard and asked her if it was true. She admitted it. Why didn't she admit it? Wasn't it natural for her to do these things for her own happiness?

The mother nearly fainted. She murmured that she had never expected her daughter to be so shameless, so cruel, and so unrepentant. The mother walked out in a daze. At that moment she was panicked and she had a premonition of what was going to happen.

Three days later, her premonition came true. The woman made a huge fuss, and the old stubborn people in her clan took action. For the honor of all the girls in the clan, they decided to put her in a pig cage.

She was really scared at that time. She was desperately hoping that her cousin would come to save her. She was dragged out of the house with a rag stuffed in her mouth. There were so many people watching the fun along the way. They pointed at her and threw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at her. She was very angry. What had she done wrong? It was just that the bitch didn't die. However, the bastard in her belly died, so she got what she wanted.

Even when her hands and feet were tied tightly and she was locked in a big cage made of thick bamboo, she never expected her cousin to come and save her. She thought maybe he was locked up. Otherwise, her cousin loved her so much and would have come to her on horseback to take her place if he knew her situation.

There were several large stones in the bamboo cage and she was stuffed in it. She wanted to resist, but her hands and feet were tied. She curled up in the cage, knowing that she was going to die. She had no regrets, she just felt sorry that she didn't see her cousin for the last time.

Thanks to the Buddha’s blessing, when several people were about to push her into the river, the master arrived. It turned out that her mother knew that this matter would not end well, so she rushed to Ciyuen Temple a hundred miles away and asked the master to save her. The master said in front of everyone that her worldly ties were not yet over and that God was merciful. He promised to take her to become a monk and practice, and never to be born again to atone for her sins. So she followed the master to Ciyuen Temple.

The master settled her in a small house outside the nunnery and assigned a little nun named Jingxin to take care of her daily life. Jingxin was still a child at that time, and later she stayed with her. Finally, after ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a baby boy. At that moment, her eyes were filled with tears. This was the fruit of her love with her cousin. She named the child Yan Ge'er, hoping that he would be successful in the future.

Unfortunately, the master took the child away, saying that he would be given to his father. Men were not allowed to stay in the nunnery, not even babies. She had no way to keep the child, and after the confinement, she followed the master to the nunnery and truly became a nun.

She was literate, smart and quick-witted, so the master started to keep her by his side and let her learn how to handle household affairs. She got the hang of it quickly, and gradually the master handed over all matters to her, and the power and affairs of the nunnery were gradually brought into her hands.

She knew confidently that the position of abbess of Ciyuen Temple would be passed on to her. Three years after she took over the affairs of the temple and had her own connections, she learned that her brother Yan was placed outside by his father. She did not dare to let the cheap woman at home know, so she used the excuse of going out to travel and disguised herself to find the yard where her brother lived. The yard was very small, and the child was very thin. There was only a ragged maid taking care of him. The four-year-old child looked at people timidly. She was very sad. If a child of this age was raised at home, he should have been enlightened.

She took out all the money she had and gave it to the child, telling him that she was his mother. Yan Ge'er was very well behaved. He called her mother softly and let her hold him obediently. Her heart was softened. At that moment, her desire for power reached its peak. She wanted her Yan Ge'er to live a good life with fine clothes and delicious food. She wanted to support him in his studies and help him pass the imperial examination.

After returning to the nunnery, she began to pay attention to the flow of money in the nunnery and started to tamper with it. She asked Jingxin to send the money out once every six months in the name of doing business, and then personally hand it to her cousin to support Yan'er and hire a teacher to teach him.

Jingxin pushed open the door and walked in gently, and saw the master sitting blankly at the table, not moving at all. She was used to it, as the master often did this.

"You're back. Have you arranged everything?" Lian Zhen came back to her senses and touched her face. There were no tears. She thought she would cry, her skin was very rough. She was less than 30 years old, but because of all the hard work, she looked like she was in her 40s. Life in the nunnery was too hard. She only hoped that Yan Ge'er could make a name for himself and take her out to enjoy a good life in the future.

"Master, everything has been arranged." Jingxin replied. She was a little afraid of this master, although she couldn't say why.
