"Shen Qingyu, this is Taoist Qingyun, please don't be so rude!" Aunt Liu started to scold, letting everyone see how unruly this legitimate daughter was. All the ladylike manner she had just displayed was fake and hypocritical. In essence, Shen Qingyu was still the good-for-nothing, plain-looking and talentless Second Miss!

Shen Qingyu didn't hesitate at all and slapped Aunt Liu in the face.

Clean and clear, with a loud voice.

She didn't even look at Aunt Liu, she just hit her because she offended her.

"Madam Liu, I should have warned you that there are distinctions between the upper and lower classes in the Shen family. Do you think you can call me by my name?" Her aura instantly frightened Madam Liu.

Aunt Liu covered her face and widened her eyes. All the scheming she had developed in the inner house over the years was suppressed at this moment.

It seemed like some conspiracy or evil spirit could not escape her.

Although the matter had clearly been decided by Taoist Qingyun, Aunt Liu suddenly felt guilty. She couldn't let Shen Qingyu expose the truth.

"Master Qingyun is so respected by Father. I think he must be extraordinary and have some ability to be favored by Father. Qingyu is fortunate to have read several Taoist scriptures. The books say, "

"It is not deep below the sixth level, and it is not high on the surface of the great void. The world is born and dies, things change, but the Tao does not change."

"I still remember this sentence clearly. It seems to be from the Nanhua Sutra. I wonder if what I said is different, Taoist Qingyun?"

Shen Qingyu stood upright in front of Taoist Qingyun. She spoke clearly and her eyes were firm.

She explained the contents of the scriptures very clearly and also stated the source, which made Taoist Qingyun look a little guilty. He really did not expect that a woman in the boudoir would have the opportunity to read Taoist scriptures and even talk about them calmly and leisurely.

Not only Taoist Qingyun did not expect this, but no one in the Shen family knew that Shen Qingyu actually knew these things.

Aunt Liu thought to herself, could it be that this girl had secretly read this from some book? These things have never been taught in this mansion, and no one in the mansion prays to the gods or Buddhas. At most, Bai Ying would go to the temple or Taoist temple to worship for Shen Youhong.

You're just a little girl. How can you expect to know more than the Taoist priests who come from legitimate Taoist temples?

What a joke.

"Good, Miss Shen seems to know a bit about Taoism," Taoist Qingyun avoided the main point and didn't want to answer her at all. How could he know what was said in the "Nanhua Zhenjing"? He had only been in Lingxu Temple for a few years, and he didn't learn Taoism by heart during that time. Anyway, after going down the mountain, those shallow Taoist practices were enough to deceive these ignorant people. "It's a pity that Miss Shen has a difficult life. For the future of the family, we should stay away from her. We can't harm so many people for our own selfishness."

"That's right, the Taoist priest has said so, second sister, just accept it. What's the point of talking about scriptures or not?"

Shen Xitong looked down at her, as if she was looking at something pitiful. "Second sister, for the sake of our Shen family, you don't have to be too persistent. Otherwise, you don't want to see Hong'er get into trouble again, right? You have to consider others, right?"

It sounds so high-sounding, but it's really a joke.

If this matter happened to her, Shen Xitong, I wonder if she would still say such words!

Aunt Liu also echoed, "Second Miss, I know that what the Taoist said makes you feel uncomfortable, but didn't you say before that the master has to make the final decision on all matters at home? Why are you saying this suddenly?"

"If you ask me, this is all injustice. Such a big thing happened in the family, which no one wanted. How could such a thing happen out of the blue? The second young lady and the eldest young master often come and go. Could it be that the eldest young master's illness--"

This is really heartbreaking.

Shen Youhong is the only patient in the family and is her half-sister. When Bai Ying gave birth to her, she had a difficult labor and almost died. Bai Ying desperately gave birth to her and later gave birth to a son, Shen Youhong. However, this son was a sickly child since childhood and had no chance of living a normal life.

When she was accused of harming her relatives, didn't all these sins prove this point?

Maybe other people in the family won’t believe this, but Bai Ying will firmly believe it.

Even if she proved today that what Taoist Qingyun said was a lie, everything he said today would definitely take root in Bai Ying's heart. If Shen Youhong did anything wrong in the future, it must be that she, as his sister, had brought trouble upon him.

Shen Qingyu met Aunt Liu's gaze, her back straightened, not being suppressed, "Aunt Liu, you said it yourself, father makes the decisions on family matters, you are an aunt, there are guests like Taoist Qingyun in the hall, how can you butt in!"

She is really intimidating.

Who doesn't know how to put on airs? She has been working in society for so many years, and her ways of thinking and doing things are completely different from these people. She has not been tempered in this big mansion for many years, but she knows a lot of things that these people don't know, so she can put on this air with ease.

She no longer paid attention to Aunt Liu, but instead looked at Shen Chuanhe's gloomy expression, "Dad, you might as well listen to what your daughter has to say."

"Master Qingyun, didn't you hear what I said? Is there anything wrong with it?"

Shen Qingyu turned his back to Taoist Qingyun and slowly turned around, with a bit of weirdness in his smile, "When I mentioned the Nanhua Sutra, Taoist Qingyun didn't react at all. Maybe he is not familiar with it. If so, it is understandable."

Taoist Qingyun twitched the corner of his mouth, he was extremely panicked inside. He had been pretending for so many years at the foot of the mountain, he couldn't possibly be defeated by a little girl.

"There are thousands of ways to practice Taoism. I still need to improve what I have learned. Miss Shen, please don't mind. If you need me, I can also--"

"What about The Great Dao Theory?"

As soon as Shen Qingyu said this, Taoist Qingyun's face suddenly changed and he couldn't help but take a step back.

"Which Taoist temple did Taoist Qingyun come from? Where did you practice before?" Shen Qingyu spoke softly, and every word he said made him sweat profusely. "The most famous Taoist temple in Jinling Prefecture is Lingxu Temple, and the "Da Dao Lun" was once lectured by the abbot of Lingxu Temple, Zhenren Chanxi. I believe that there is no Taoist in Jinling Prefecture who doesn't know about it."

"Then why couldn't Taoist Qingyun understand what I just said? The sentences were reversed, and even a sentence was missed."

"The Tao has no birth or death."
