Xin Jieyu and the host were talking about something, but she suddenly turned around and looked at everyone, her eyes scanning them one by one and finally fell on Wang Yuejiao.

Wang Yuejiao became inexplicably nervous, as if the teacher was checking her homework but she hadn't finished it and had no idea what it was about.

Xin Jieyu saw through her thoughts and calmed her down first: "Miss Wang, don't be afraid. I just want to ask you a simple question."

When Wang Yuejiao breathed a sigh of relief, she said, "Miss Wang, what do you think of the Buddhist scriptures: 'If the mind has Zen, everywhere is Zen; if the mind has Buddha, Buddha is always there. Zen is born from the mind, Buddha is in the mind. Sitting is Zen, walking is Zen, Zen is life, Prajna is freedom'?"

Wang Yuejiao was completely confused. She breathed a sigh of relief too early.

Xiao Yunzheng gloated over other people's misfortune.

"My lady..."

Wang Yuejiao hesitated for a long time and finally gave the answer "I don't know".

Xin Jieyu was not angry, but comforted her, saying that Buddhist scriptures were difficult to understand, and perhaps only people with a connection to Buddha could comprehend their meaning.

The host smiled, and when he turned around to look at Wang Yuejiao, his eyes swept over Li Yaoyuan.

Li Yaoyuan didn't notice it, she was just staring blankly with her head down.

After Xin Jieyu's surprise inspection, Nian Susu and Xiao Yunzheng lost all sleepiness and began to recite attentively, but their eyes were empty and dull, no different from puppets.

Li Yaoyuan's eyes wandered, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled when she saw that there was a lot of mud on Nian Susu's shoes.

"Lingling, why are your shoes so dirty?"

Hearing this, Nian Susu looked back, her legs pressed under her buttocks, the hem of her skirt covering half of the sole of her shoe, and the half of the shoe exposed was mostly covered in mud.

She hurriedly pulled her skirt down to cover her shoes.

"Oh... this might have been accidentally dirty yesterday." She didn't dare to tell the truth. Fortunately, Li Yaoyuan didn't ask any more questions, but just reminded her to remember to clean her shoes when she got home.

Nian Susu smiled and nodded, but his palms were sweating.

The mud in the bamboo forest was wet and soft. She walked in a hurry, so her shoes got stuck in the mud several times. She walked back in a hurry as well, so she didn't realize that her shoes were dirty, and was thus seen by Li Yaoyuan.

Fortunately, it was Li Yaoyuan. If it was Concubine Xin or the Fifth Prince, they would definitely not believe her perfunctory excuse. If they sent someone to investigate, she would be exposed.

Nian Susu straightened her skirt and suddenly an idea came to her mind as to how to find out who was in the woods last night - since her shoes were stained with mud, that person must have been stained as well, and she was running away at the time, so she might not remember to wash her shoes after returning.

Thinking of this, she leaned back, her eyes starting from Li Yaoyuan's shoes and moving all the way up.

Li Yaoyuan's shoes were completely blocked and could not be seen at all, but she was sure it was not her.

When it came to Xiao Yunzheng, her shoes were clean, but a little gray, and it was obvious that they had been worn for a long time and faded due to washing.

Further up is Wang Yuejiao. Wang Yuejiao's buttocks are completely pressed on her legs, her instep is pressed down, the soles of her shoes are turned outward, and her skirt does not cover her shoes, so you can clearly see that they are a pair of clean shoes.

Finally it’s the new year and the new month.

Nian Susu had already guessed the answer in his heart, but he couldn't help frowning when his eyes fell on the pair of shoes covered with yellow mud.

The person who followed her last night was Nian Qiaoyue.

What is Nian Qiaoyue's purpose in doing this?

Nian Qiaoyue happened to glance sideways at this time, and her eyes met hers. A trace of panic flashed in both of their eyes at the same time, and then they looked away tacitly.

Nian Susu was not worried because she had done nothing last night except picking up a handkerchief. If Nian Qiaoyue wanted to use this as an excuse, she could just say that she had dropped it and was looking for it back.

The tense nerves relaxed and I felt relaxed all over.

On the contrary, Nian Qiaoyue, who was still in the dark, felt very guilty. It was obvious that Nian Susu was the one who did something wrong, so why should she be panicking?

Thinking of this, Nian Qiaoyue straightened her back a little.

After the sutra chanting session, everyone went back to their rooms and when it was time for breakfast, they could go to Suxin Hall to have breakfast.

Nian Susu pounded her aching back and walked out. She had only taken two steps when someone called her, "Miss Nian, please stay."

Who else could have such a childish voice but Qin Wenyuan?

Nian Susu stopped and Li Yaoyuan and Xiao Yunzheng gave each other a look that said "I wish you all the best". Then they held hands and walked happily towards the Zen temple.

Qin Wenyuan walked up to Nian Susu without stopping. He glanced at her as he passed by her and said, "Follow me."

She said "Oh" and followed him.

Qin Wenyuan had not yet fully grown, and his height only reached her chest. From her point of view, she could only see the top of his furry head. His legs were moving neither fast nor slow, with a very aristocratic demeanor, just like a small potato with a lot of clothes.

Taking advantage of the fact that Qin Wenyuan couldn't see her expression, she raised the corners of her mouth.

Qin Wenyuan led her all the way forward, in the same direction as the Zen room. Just when he was about to let her go back after Nian Susu, he turned and took another path.

Walk about ten steps forward and you will see a very elegant small study.

Qin Wenyuan pushed the door open and walked in. Nian Susu stood at the bottom of the steps without moving. Qin Wen took two steps inside and found that the person behind him had not caught up. He stepped back a few steps and asked, "What's wrong? Come in."

Nian Susu raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise: "Is this your study?"

Qin Wenyuan nodded.

She secretly sighed: It is true that money makes the world go round. The rooms that Li Yaoyuan and Xiao Yunzheng lived in were both crowded double rooms, with beds just small enough for one person to lie down, and the accommodation conditions were extremely poor.

In contrast, Qin Wenyuan not only lives in a luxurious single room, but also has a dedicated study.

She hated it all the time, hated why she was not a princess.

She clicked her tongue and went into the study.

Although it is called a study, it is also a temporary arrangement. There is only one bookshelf and a desk in the room.

There are quite a few books on the shelves, and the desk is made of ordinary wood, which can be seen to be from Ganlin Temple.

Nian Susu feels much more balanced.

Xin Jieyu was probably afraid that Qin Wenyuan's stay at Ganlin Temple would affect his studies, so she had a room specially set aside for him to serve as a study, providing him with a not-so-good learning environment.

Qin Wenyuan walked to the desk, lifted his robe and sat down, raised his eyebrows at her, "Come here and help me grind the ink."

The tone of his speech was exactly the same as Qin Junyu's.

Nian Susu sighed, these two brothers are really...

She walked over reluctantly, picked up the ink stick and started grinding ink.

Qin Wenyuan practiced calligraphy without talking to her or asking her to stop. She could only keep grinding the ink.

Nian Susu was extremely bored. His eyes rolled around for a few times and finally stopped on the words written by Qin Wenyuan. He was immediately shocked. At first glance, these words were exactly the same as those written by Qin Junyu, but if you looked closely, you could see the difference.

Qin Wenyuan is a completely smaller version of Qin Junyu.
