Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

An hour passed.

The two finished playing chess again, and both of them were better at attacking than defending. They won and lost equally.

"Okay. I hope to have another chance to play against you next time."

Shang Yan stopped on his own initiative.

He raised his eyes calmly and looked at the old monk who was walking over. "Looking for her?"

"Donor Su, I have something to say." The old monk had kind eyes and was thin and sharp. Those eyes seemed to see through the world. For some reason, Su Rutang felt a little trembling in his heart.

Su Rutang stood up and followed the old monk to the main hall.

The old monk lit three incense sticks for her.

"The past is painful, you should forget it." The old monk fiddled with the beads with his left hand. "You keep clinging to the past, which only brings you pain."

Su Rutang was horrified.

The old monk knew that he was reborn?

She bowed three times and inserted the incense into the incense burner. She returned to the prayer mat and bowed three times again, made a gesture of inquiry, and then turned back.

"What do you think, Master?"

"lay down."

"Master, what if I can't let go? Since the past is hard to forget, why can't you protect your family in your own way?" Su Rutang was aggressive, and her eyes were full of coldness as she looked at the old monk.

"Master, did you choose to become a monk because you wanted to escape?"

The old monk murmured, "Amitabha. Donor, you were able to come back because someone made a great vow. Why do you have to go against his original intention to save you?"

Su Rutang stood there in a daze as if struck by thunder and lightning.

"Master, do you know who it is?"

"Look carefully." After saying this, the old monk turned around, bowed and left.

He was still murmuring, "All phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows! Like dew and lightning, they should be viewed in this way!"

Su Rutang paused and knelt on the prayer mat.

She kept looking at the Bodhisattva who was looking at her with compassionate eyes.

no no……

She closed her eyes, no one could stop her from taking revenge.

Being kind to your enemies means being cruel to yourself.

By the afternoon.

Rong Rui and Su Yuxuan followed Huo Mi over. The two little guys got off their horses and ran in happily.

"aunt."

"Aunt Tang."

They both called out Su Rutang together, and seeing the old monk calm down, they stood aside and greeted the old monk.

The old monk smiled and waved.

He touched the tops of their heads and said, "Let's go in and purify ourselves."

"Yes."

The two men didn't understand what sprinkling water for purification meant, so they just followed whatever the old monk said.

The old monk ordered someone to call Su Rutang, Taohua and Shangqi.

His kind yet dignified eyes fell on Shang Yan, "You should kneel down and join us."

Shang Yan doesn't want to.

When he met the old monk's gaze, he knelt obediently beside Su Rutang.

A little monk came over.

After the ceremony, the old monk glanced at him indifferently.

"The kids stay. Everyone else go down the mountain."

Su Rutang responded.

She hugged Taohua, then hugged Shangqi and said a few words, while she held Su Yuxuan with one hand and Rong Rui with the other.

Everyone was given proper instructions.

"You must listen to the master and never break the temple's rules and regulations."

The old monk frowned.

"They are just little kids, how can they be so destructive? Don't make a scene of life and death here. It's just that we haven't seen each other for more than a month. If you really can't bear to let them go, why don't you take them back?"

Su Rutang was afraid of the old monk's violent temper.

"Master. Thank you for your help."

She went out the door.

None of the children dared to come out to see her off because the old monk had asked them to meditate in the main hall.

Su Rutang got on the carriage.

Shang Yan was waiting for her below on horseback.

When he saw the carriage coming, he said:

"There's a section of the road where there are often robbers. Why don't you just follow me?"

"Thank you, Commander."

Su Rutang sat inside and whispered, she did not look at the situation outside.

Shang Yan was not riding fast on his horse.

The wind blew up the curtains, revealing his figure standing on horseback. Su Rutang felt as if this figure overlapped with a person in his dream.

She clutched her chest and gasped.

Big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

That heart-wrenching feeling came again. Shang Yan turned around as if he had sensed something and exchanged glances with Su Rutang who was leaning on the carriage.

"Mrs. Zhou, are you feeling unwell?"

Su Rutang was brought back to her senses by his calling her Madam Zhou. "No. Maybe it's because the weather is too hot."

Shang Yan didn't say anything else.

The two of them entered the city.

Shang Yan rode away on his horse without saying hello.

"Second Madam. Are you going back home?"

"Go home."

As soon as Su Rutang returned home, he heard the gatekeeper say that something had happened to Concubine Song from Lanxiang Courtyard.

"What? What happened?" Su Rutang asked anxiously.

"I don't know either. I heard what Hu Zitou said and called the doctor over." The servant lowered his head quickly.

Su Rutang returned to Chuitang Courtyard.

Xia An came over to tell her what happened. It turned out that Concubine Song felt unwell when she woke up this morning. In a trance, she bumped into the stone bench in the garden.

I started bleeding at that time, and later we called a doctor.

"Chunxi, come with me to Lanxiangyuan." Su Rutang didn't have time to change his clothes, and went straight to Lanxiangyuan with Chunxi.

Arrived at Lanxiangyuan.

I could vaguely smell a faint smell of blood.

"Second Madam." The maid Wu'er came out with red eyes.

"How is Aunt Song?"

Wu Er's face was sour and his heart was cold, "Our aunt has lost a boy, please let the second madam take charge."

Wu'er knelt on the ground.

"What's going on?" Chunxi hurriedly helped Wu'er to stand up. "You fool, if you have any grievances, just tell Second Madam. Why do you kneel down at every turn?"

"Do the Second Master and the Old Madam know about this?"

Wu Er held back her tears, "The old lady just said that Concubine Song was unlucky. She also said that Concubine Song lost her son because of her carelessness, and they didn't care because Concubine Song was young."

"Tell Aunt Song not to tell anyone."

Su Rutang knew that things must not be that simple.

After careful questioning, I learned that Song Huaiyan went to the garden to get some fresh air in the morning. He happened to meet Zhou Yunxi who was also in the garden, and the two of them started arguing about something.

Zhou Yunxi pushed Song Huaiyan down.

Su Rutang frowned and told Chunxi, "Ask our small kitchen to make a bowl of milk candy glutinous rice porridge, jujube paste yam cake, and two refreshing side dishes and send them over."

"Yes. I'll arrange it right away." Chunxi left.

Su Rutang entered the house.

Song Huaiyan was lying on the bed, her small face, the size of a palm, was pale.

There was mugwort incense burning in the incense burner in the room.

After Su Rutang went in, Song Huaiyan opened his eyes.

His eyes turned red.

"Second Madam. Am I useless?"

"It's useless." Su Rutang sat on the bed. "It's important to get well. Since my brother is gone, I can only hope that he will be reborn into a good family."

Su Rutang looked at the bird's nest and red rice porridge next to him and asked, "Why don't you eat it?"

"I'm afraid..." Song Huaiyan couldn't continue.

They all said that she had a miscarriage because Zhou Yunxi pushed her, but she remembered the tearing pain in her abdomen in her dream last night. After waking up, she could still feel the pain when she touched her abdomen.

"Which doctor is coming today?"

Wu Er shook her head and said, "She said she ran into a doctor on the street and brought him in for Auntie to see."

"Xia An. Ask Ma Liu to invite Doctor Shen over."

"Yes."

Seeing this, Song Huaiyan struggled to raise her head and asked, "Do you believe me?"

"Yeah. It's always better to be careful." Su Rutang thought of Murong Feiyue's abnormal behavior last night and became suspicious.

Not long after.

Doctor Shen came over.

He took Song Huaiyan's pulse and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Doctor Shen, just say what you want to say." Su Rutang also became nervous.

Doctor Shen's eyes fell on the bird's nest porridge beside him, and he picked it up and smelled it. "There is an extremely cold medicine in it. Cook it with red rice to cover up the color of the medicine."

"But this bird's nest porridge was sent to me after I had a miscarriage." Song Huaiyan was also confused.

Doctor Shen knew that there were many secrets in the backyards of officials' families.

Sighed:

"My aunt had a miscarriage because she ate saffron. As for the medicine in this bowl, it is meant to kill your offspring in the future."

"What?" Song Huaiyan's heart sank, and he felt a wetness down there.

Su Rutang noticed that something was wrong with her and tried to comfort her:

"Don't worry. Be careful in the future. Getting well is the most important thing right now."

Su Rutang looked at Wu'er, "Where did you get the bird's nest?"

"It was sent from the main kitchen."

"Who sent it?"

"Sister Liu from the kitchen brought it over personally." Wu'er was terrified, "Please, Second Madam, save our aunt."

"Xia'an, go."

Xia An lowered his head, responded, and left.

Su Rutang asked Doctor Shen to prescribe some medicines for conditioning the body and also asked about the taboos of daily diet.

Doctor Shen went outside to prescribe medicine.

Chunxi brought the porridge over and put it down.

"Give Doctor Shen a reward of twenty taels of silver and tell him not to tell anyone about what is happening in the mansion."

"Yes."

After Chunxi left.

Su Rutang picked up the bowl and gently stirred the porridge with a spoon. "Song Huaiyan, have some porridge."
