The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

Changning didn't want to come to Ningyuan Temple at all.

But my mother insisted on taking me with her every year.

This year even my brother didn’t come, but he still refused to let me go.

What's the point of running to such a remote and dilapidated temple?

Every year, they would stay there for several days, saying that it was a way to practice self-cultivation and cleanse the hostility and sins from their bodies.

Aren’t the people in the Second Princess’ Mansion kind enough?

In the eyes of Princess Changning, this place is really boring.

It’s not just far from the imperial city, but every time they come here, it’s just their family.

With no good friends or relatives to accompany him, and only the maids and guards to accompany him for walks nearby, Changning was not as fun as the imperial city.

So, she tried harder to talk about the bad things here.

I just hope that my mother won’t come next year.

Sure enough, after hearing Changning's words, Zong Zheng Zhiyuan's eyes became even sharper and colder.

Jie Chi bowed quickly and said "Amitabha": "Your Highness, this matter really cannot be blamed on our Ningyuan Temple."

"A group of merchants suddenly arrived yesterday. We clearly told them that a distinguished guest would be visiting the temple today. They said they didn't care and wouldn't disturb the distinguished guest, so they came in."

"We Buddhists definitely don't reject people who need help."

"But these merchants are like bandits. Not only did the courtyard we had reserved for Your Highness suddenly catch fire, but they also took advantage of the situation and threatened us by trying to put out the fire."

"The several courtyards connected to the east wing were completely burned down and were no longer habitable."

"Furthermore, these merchants later requested a few more rooms, making our Ningyuan Temple a mess, both inside and out."

"We are just a group of monks. Not only can we not compete with these rabble-rousers, but even the abbot wants to maintain peace. That's why we have no choice but to swallow our anger."

"I'm sorry to have wronged you, Your Highness."

Jie Chi said this while wiping his eyes with a sad look on his face.

When Zong Zheng Zhiyuan heard that it was caused by a group of lowly businessmen, he burst out laughing.

"A bunch of businessmen, can't you handle this?"

"Then County Magistrate Wu has received great kindness from your abbot. Don't you know how to report this to the authorities and have them bring these despicable creatures to justice?"

"Your abbot has never been concerned with worldly affairs, and has devoted himself to studying Buddhist scriptures."

"You disciples, none of you know how to help him solve his problems. Instead, you allow those lawless people to bully him."

"I think you don't even want to be monks anymore!"

The princess was angry, and Jie Chi and a group of monks were trembling with fear, fearing that they would not even be able to become monks.

He immediately knelt down, not even caring about the dignity of a monk.

"Your Highness, please calm down. Your Highness, please forgive me."

"This merchant woman is truly cunning and vicious. Last night, our young novice monk was about to go down the mountain to report to the authorities, but who knew he would be kidnapped and brought back by her men."

"If Your Highness had not come today, our Ningyuan Temple would have completely fallen into her hands."

"We really can't defeat them—"

Jie Chi became sadder and sadder as he spoke, and he actually squeezed out a few tears.

Zong Zheng Zhiyuan sneered, "They're just a bunch of lowly merchants. How can they possibly turn the tables?"

"But you say, Merchant Lady?"

"This merchant is actually a woman?"

Jie Chi: "Yes, look at her, she's still an unmarried lady."

"Except for an old nanny and a maid, the rest of the people who followed him were all men."

"But from what I see... these men don't look like ordinary servants. They look more like... guards."

Guard?

"Do you have evidence?"

A merchant actually dared to keep guards and even bring trouble to Ningyuan Temple. He must be dissatisfied with his own life.

Jie Chi: "They all have swords!"

"Last night, we all saw them draw their flexible swords from their waists. They were hidden in their belts, so they wouldn't normally be discovered!"

Zong Zheng Zhi Yuan: "Very good."

"I want to see what kind of arrogant and shameless merchant is this, to dare to be so arrogant!"

"Come here, bring that lowly merchant girl to me for questioning!"

A dozen strong guards came out: "Yes, Princess!"

Jie Chi lowered his head and finally raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

These despicable businessmen!

The humiliation of yesterday must be redeemed today!

This time, it will not only be the five hundred taels, they will have to pay much more money to avoid the disaster.

No, they can help plead for mercy in Ningyuan Temple.

Once they leave Ningyuan Temple, how the princess deals with these merchants is no longer the business of these monks.

A girl who makes a living by doing business will have no place to stand in the imperial city in the future. Let’s see how she can survive!

Jie Chi turned his head and looked at Jie Chen and the others. Deep down, they were determined to take revenge on Li Qingluo and his group.

When Jie Chi was humming Buddhist scriptures and preparing to tell Abbot Jiaguan about this, he passed a corner outside the hall and a sword so bright that it reflected light was suddenly placed across his neck.

"Master Jie Chi, is this complaint satisfying?"

Li Qingluo walked out from behind the pillar with a smile.

But she was smiling with her face but not her heart, and her eyes were colder than the river water in the twelfth lunar month, which made people feel colder.

"what--"

When Jie Chi saw her, he screamed in fright.

Li Qingluo stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth.

"Shut up!"

After a sharp knife strike from her, the fat monk fell to the ground.

"Noisy."

Li Qingluo raised his hand and said coldly, "Drag him away."

After a while, the killers and the guards of Prince Su's Palace ambushed in the east and captured people alive in the west. More than 30 of the more than 50 monks in Ningyuan Temple were captured quietly in the blink of an eye.

When Jie Chen realized something was wrong, Jie Kong came to call him.

"Brother Jiechen, please go over to the Second Princess as soon as possible."

Jie Chen frowned but didn't stand up immediately: "Something's wrong. Have you seen Jie Chi?"

"And Jie Yi and the others, why are they nowhere to be seen?"

Jie Kong scratched his head, still not realizing what was wrong. "It seems like the Second Princess ordered them to do something. Senior Brother Jie Chen, what are you suspicious about?"

Jie Chen frowned: "Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Looking at his fellow apprentices around him, he shook his head and then asked, "By the way, what did the Second Princess want me to do?"

Jiekong: "Isn't it the same incident from last year?"

"Since the abbot refused to see her, she had no choice but to force us. This big Buddha is not easy to serve."

Jie Chen snorted coldly, "We are the soft persimmons in the basket. If not us, who else can we squeeze?"

However, he had already discovered a secret.

Perhaps he could make good use of this...

On the way to the wing room, Jie Chen felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Why are so many brothers missing?"

"Did they all go to do things for the princess?"

Jiekong: "Yeah, maybe."

Jie Chenxin said: Why is Jie Kong talking strangely today?

He suddenly turned his head to look at Jie Kong: "You——"

A stick fell and Jie Chen fell to the ground.
