After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Qin Junyu glanced at the side hall and said, "I will take time to come here during this period. If you have any new discoveries or needs, you can tell me. But there is one thing, you should not stay alone with the host to avoid any accidents."

If the abbot really had ill intentions, this was Ganlin Temple, his territory, and they wouldn't even be able to resist.

The two nodded in sync.

Qin Junyu came here to conceal his whereabouts. As he had official business to attend to, he had to go down the mountain before dark and rush back to Shengjing overnight.

After sending Qin Junyu away, Nian Susu and Li Yaoyuan returned to the Zen room.

Li Yaoyuan was still worried and looked solemn.

Anyone who encountered such a thing would be scared and helpless, let alone a woman like Li Yaoyuan who grew up on the doctrines of female virtues and Confucian ethics. Being molested by a monk was extremely humiliating for them, even though they had nothing.

After Nian Susu figured this out, he no longer felt angry, but only felt heartbroken.

"Lingling, do we need to tell Yunzheng about this?" Li Yaoyuan suddenly asked this question.

Nian Susu hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Don't tell her yet. Yun Zheng has a hot temper. Once she knows you've been bullied, she will rush out to settle the score with the host, which will only make things worse.

Besides, she can't keep things to herself, so there's no guarantee that others won't find out. We must not alert the enemy."

After listening to it, Li Yaoyuan felt that it made sense, "You are really thoughtful."

The reason why she hesitated to tell it was because she was afraid that Xiao Yunzheng would feel sad and would not treat her as her own after she knew that they had kept it a secret from her.

Perhaps Nian Susu had not thought of this, but after some analysis, he felt that it was best to keep it secret from Xiao Yunzheng, so Li Yaoyuan did not mention it.

After returning to the Zen temple, they each went back to their own Zen rooms.

Just as Nian Susu was about to enter the room, he happened to meet Xiao Yunzheng coming out of the next room with an angry look on her face.

When she saw Nian Susu, her eyes lit up, as if she had seen a life-saving straw.

The feeling of anger immediately turned into grievance.

"Lingling~" Xiao Yunzheng's voice was soft and drawn out. She took a few steps forward, took Nian Susu's arm, and rested her chin on her shoulder.

"Where have you been? You're not here, and Zhizhi isn't here either. I'm so bored, sitting in the room facing Wang Yuejiao's stinky face. I feel like this is how my life is going to end." She complained with a look of despair.

Speaking of Wang Yuejiao, she couldn't help but get angry, "I don't want to live with Wang Yuejiao anymore! When she sleeps, I have to sleep, and when she wakes up, I have to wake up with her. I don't have any freedom at all! What kind of person is she!"

Nian Susu couldn't help laughing, looking like he was gloating over someone else's misfortune.

Xiao Yunzheng didn't dwell on this matter for too long. As they walked, the topic suddenly changed to another direction.

……

After what happened yesterday, Nian Susu was extra careful when reciting the scriptures today.

The host was an old monk in his forties or fifties, with a cunning look on his face, and he didn't look like a monk at all.

Most of the monks in Ganlin Temple have "Buddha statues", such as Miaojue. Although he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, he has a "compassionate" look on his face.

It was not that Nian Susu had a preconceived impression that he was a bad person and attacked his appearance, but she felt that the abbot had an ugly face on the first day she arrived at Ganlin Temple. It was just a fleeting thought at the time and she did not think it was unusual.

Now that I think about it, someone I dislike at first sight is most likely not a good person.

"Lingling, why are you staring at the host?" Li Yaoyuan tugged at her sleeve and reminded her in a low voice.

It’s so obvious, what if it’s discovered?

Nian Susu retracted his gaze and told her in a low voice, "After observing you this morning, I found that he would look in your direction from time to time. Although it was just a slight glance, his purpose was so obvious that it made people sick."

Li Yaoyuan frowned, not knowing what she remembered, and her face looked unsightly.

Nian Susu didn't mention it again and patted the back of her hand to reassure her.

After the chanting was over, the host called Li Yaoyuan again.

This time, Nian Susu was nearby, and the abbot did not dare to do anything excessive. He just asked her to help copy scriptures in the side hall, and praised her good handwriting in public. Everyone present heard it.

Some people who knew that Li Yaoyuan helped copy scriptures yesterday did not find it strange to hear this, but some who did not know were completely confused.

Everyone's eyes fell on Li Yaoyuan.

Li Yaoyuan felt like a thorn in her back. She tightly grasped Nian Susu's arm with an embarrassed expression.

The host laughed in silence, "If Mr. Li doesn't want to do it, forget it. I will ask other disciples to help copy it."

These words undoubtedly put her on the spot.

The opportunity to copy Buddhist scriptures for the Buddha is something that many people would love to get. The host personally invited Li Yaoyuan, but not only did she not appreciate it, she also acted as if others were making things difficult for her.

Even Concubine Xin felt that what Li Yaoyuan did was wrong.

Li Yaoyuan felt wronged, "That's not what I meant..."

A hint of impatience flashed across the host's face, but it was fleeting.

At this moment, Nian Susu pulled Li Yaoyuan behind him and said sternly, "I'm sorry, Master. She sprained her hand a few days ago and it's inconvenient for her to hold a pen. There are many people who want to do such a sacred thing as copying scriptures. Please find someone else to help."

The host's face changed. He didn't expect that there would be such a difficult person to deal with. He had no choice but to let her go for now. Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities later.

"That being the case, then..."

The host was about to change his mind when Wang Yuejiao rushed out, "Li Yaoyuan, don't be ungrateful. I think highly of you by letting you copy the scriptures. How dare you refuse in front of the Buddha?"

Li Yaoyuan lowered her eyes to hide her fear.

Nian Susu refused to give in, "Since Miss Wang is so angry, then you can copy it, how about that?"

She smiled and said, "Or... Miss Wang's handwriting is too ugly to be presented to the public, so I dare not copy it."

"You are talking nonsense! My calligraphy was taught by the best calligraphy master in Shengjing. What qualifications do you have to question me?"

"Oh, then you can go in Miss Li's place. It's the same for everyone. The host will definitely agree."

Just one sentence blocked the host's way. He had no choice but to agree, otherwise it would be considered as deliberately targeting Wang Yuejiao.

Wang Yuejiao's cheeks turned red with anxiety. She was worried that the host would really ask her to replace Li Yaoyuan. She didn't want to do such a boring job.

Besides... her handwriting is really not that beautiful. If she copies scriptures for the Buddha... she might just defile the Buddha's eyes.

She was so anxious that she couldn't even speak clearly: "I... when did I say I wanted to copy the scriptures? The abbot asked Li Yaoyuan to copy the scriptures, not me. What are you doing?"

Xiao Yunzheng couldn't listen any longer and snorted, "If others refuse, they are being ungrateful and disrespectful to the Buddha. So it's only natural for you to refuse, right?"

Wang Yuejiao was left speechless.

Nian Qiaoyue acted like a good girl, approached Concubine Xin, and asked in a low voice: "My Lady, what do you think we should do?"

Concubine Xin stared at Li Yaoyuan with a gloomy face.
