The general kneels on the washboard again

The cold wind howled. Dong Zhu looked at Yue Niang, whose face was ashen and she remained silent, with a hint of worry in his eyes. "Miss, are you feeling unwell? Please say something."

"I am fine."

After hearing these three short words, Dong Zhu felt that his young lady was now surrounded by a terrible anger.

"Miss, don't worry. The driver is also from the mansion. You can punish him severely when you get back."

Yue Niang turned around and said, "Why punish him? He's just following orders. I think it was Fu Yuan Niang who did this. She felt that I stole her limelight today, and the resentment in her eyes was overflowing."

Dong Zhu held his forehead with his hand. "Miss, how long will it take us to go to Biyun Temple? What if the second young lady takes advantage of your absence and snatches Yuechenyuan away again?"

Yue Niang laughed dumbly: "Just rob them, those refugees on the road, fighting for a steamed bun and a piece of tattered clothes, aren't they also trying to survive? It's just a courtyard, we can't live here for long. As for how long we'll stay at Biyun Temple, I'll listen to what Master says."

It was almost midnight when the master and servant returned to the mansion, and the yard was eerily quiet.

It was so quiet, just like that night when I was nine years old.

Yuechenyuan, what a beautiful name.

At this moment, a man in black flew out from the darkness and rushed straight towards Yue Niang.

Jiang Yunxiao appeared out of nowhere and quickly stopped the man: "Yue'er, be careful."

He then wrestled with the man in black, and the second round of fighting began.

Yue Niang pulled Dong Zhu out of the yard, shouting as she walked, "Help! Catch the thief! There's a thief in the house."

He shouted in every courtyard, and the fight between the man in black and Jiang Yunxiao followed closely, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the front hall.

After all, Jiang Yunxiao had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and had learned from Duke Jiang. The man in black was obviously defeated.

Lian Xing was in the dark and pressed the acupoints when the man was caught off guard. The man in black just stood there and glanced at Lian Xing. Lian Xing hurried back to the dark.

At this time, everyone in the courtyard also came, and everyone had a different expression.

Fu Jinniang's words were full of thorns: "What's wrong with you, big sister? If you don't sleep yourself, will you disturb the whole family's sleep?"

Yue Niang ignored her and said calmly, "A thief broke into my yard and tried to kill me. Dong Zhu, go to the government office and report the crime."

At this time, Fu Jinniang also noticed Jiang Yunxiao beside Yue Niang and said sarcastically, "What thief? I think your dirty deeds have been discovered, and you want to kill him to silence him."

Jiang Yunxiao said contemptuously, "I remember you're Yue'er's sister, so I won't bother with you. Yue'er was dancing a blessing dance by the Tao River tonight. I don't know who took her carriage away, so she had to walk back and just came in. I just felt it was unsafe for her as a girl, so I quietly escorted her all the way. If this thief hadn't suddenly rushed out, I definitely wouldn't have shown up."

Fu Shiqing's face was extremely ugly. "Alright, isn't this embarrassing enough? You have to go to Biyun Temple tomorrow morning. I'll take care of this thief for you."

Yue Niang snorted coldly, "Father, his target is me. It involves my life and property. I am very cautious. I will send him to the government office now. I won't bother you anymore."

Jiang Yunxiao hurried to help carry it.

Fu Shiqing shook his sleeves, full of anger: "Humph, what are you looking at? Why don't you go back to sleep?"

But secretly he was thinking about how to rescue the man in black or kill him to silence him.

As soon as they walked out of Fu Mansion, Yan Qi and Wan Cheng appeared and carried the person over.

Yue Niang thanked Jiang Yunxiao: "Thank you very much."

"There's no need for us to be so polite." Jiang Yunxiao felt a little uncomfortable: "What's wrong with you today? Why are you so cold to me?"

Yue Niang smiled politely: "I don't think I know you that well."

Jiang Yunxiao's handsome face came closer: "You don't understand me? My father doesn't understand me as well as you do. What's wrong with you?"

"No, it's getting late. You should go back home and rest early. I'm afraid my aunt is getting anxious now."

Jiang Yunxiao also lost her temper and refused to say anything nice. "If you don't want to say anything, forget it. I'm leaving first."

There were also people on duty at the Lingzhou night government office, and now several people arrived at the door and beat drums to appeal for justice.

The person on duty tonight is Lord Xiao Ye, whom I met once at Cao Jin's banquet.

Yue Niang briefly recounted the incident and handed the prisoner to Xiao Ye. However, the man in black who had been glaring with anger just now was now dead.

Xiao Ye hurried to check: "He's dead, it seems he's a murderer."

"Death warrior?"

In Lingzhou, secret guards have long been spread throughout the wealthy families, but death squads are strictly prohibited.

"Excuse me, the person you offended must be an important figure. You should be extra careful in the future."

Yue Niang also fell into deep thought. If the Fu family really raised assassins, then she must leave the Fu family as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, Yue Niang bowed to Xiao Ye and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Master Xiao. I am sorry to trouble you with this case today."

After the greetings, Yue Niang walked towards Fu's house again.

Dong Zhu followed the distraught Yue Niang all the way, and was thinking about how to comfort her.

Yue Niang noticed her thoughts and slowed down her pace: "Dong Zhu, are you scared tonight?"

Dong Zhu's eyes filled with tears: "Miss, Dong Zhu is not scared. Dong Zhu just hopes that Miss can be safe."

"Don't worry, Dongzhu, stop crying. It's almost dawn. Let's go back quickly to get some clothes and go to Biyun Temple."

In this way, the two of them went to Biyun Temple.

The nun had obviously not received the news yet, and she said to Yue Niang, "Since you have come to pray for blessings and to ask for forgiveness, you must be sincere and do it for 49 days. I am at peace."

Yue Niang was also filled with awe: "Excuse me, Master Tian'an, what should I do?"

Tian An said, "Donor, you must follow us to attend morning classes every morning and eat with us. You must not eat meat or fish. You must not leave Biyun Temple during these forty-nine days. You must also copy these two scriptures seven times each..."

Yue Niang listened reverently and then entered the nunnery.

Yue Niang was assigned to stay in the back dormitory. The young nun who led the way said, "Donor, you can stay here. Master Tiansu has been guiding you through your studies in the nunnery. However, Master Tiansu is out sweeping the backyard and hasn't returned yet. Please wait in the yard while I go find her."

The master and servant walked around the courtyard. Dong Zhu wiped the stone bench in the courtyard and said, "Miss, you should take a rest first. You didn't sleep last night."

Yue Niang smiled back: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me."

As the two were talking, they heard footsteps at the door: "Donor, this is the poor nun Tiansu."

Yue Niang turned around and almost dropped the apple in her hand: "Mother He."

Tian Su was also surprised: "Miss."

Yue Niang laughed after realizing it belatedly. She asked Yan Qi and others to search Lingzhou and even went to the music house, but she didn't expect that Mother He was in the nunnery.

Mother He rushed over and hugged Yue Niang: "Miss, it's really Miss, Miss, why are you back?"

Yue Niang was in Mother He's arms, keeping her head slightly away. "Mother He, it's really me. I'm back, but I won't stay long. How did those people bring you to this nunnery?"

Mother He let Yue Niang go and said, "Miss, please sit down first and let me talk slowly."

After that, he went back into the house and brought out a cup of flower tea and a few cups. "After the young lady left, Dongzhu was young, so I asked a few acquaintances to send her to the laundry shed to do dirty work. She was barely able to survive, but I served the lady for so long, they would definitely not let me go. Tian forced me to jump into the well, and I should have gone with the lady anyway. I was not afraid. Later, she was thrown into a mass grave, but was saved by the previous head nun, and has stayed in Biyun Temple ever since."

Yue Niang held her hand tightly and said, "Mother He, you have been wronged."

Mother He wiped her tears and said, "I'm not wronged, but why did they bring you back, young lady? Are you safe now?"

Yue Niang told Mother He everything that happened after they parted.

Mother He cried several times after hearing this: "So, young lady, what are your plans now?"

Yue Niang said, "I plan to completely sever ties with the Fu family first. It would be best if they expelled me from the family and removed me from the family name. Then I will take you back to Yunzhou and we will live our own lives."

As for the revenge for the original owner's mother, daughter and grandmother, they will be avenged together later.

Mother He stopped crying and said, "Miss, I am now a Buddhist. It is a great mercy of the Buddha that he allows me to see you again. Please call me Master Tiansu."
