Until the day before Ling Fan arrived!

They even knocked her unconscious and staged a cheating scene in front of Ling Fan.

Shen Muxue's face was gloomy, and the boundary between her past life and this life seemed to become blurred.

Master Daoyi had a serious expression on her face, waiting quietly for Shen Muxue to salute, but she waited for a long time without any response. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Shen Muxue standing in front of Masters Honglian and Huixi.

She suddenly slapped each of them.

"Ms. Shen! Are you crazy?"

Master Hui Jing looked at Shen Muxue in shock and raised his hand to fight back, but facing that angry face, Shen Muxue staggered back a step.

That’s the look…

Everything happened as if in a dream, exactly as it happened in the dream.

She could almost foresee Master Huixi's next words.

A hint of surprise flashed across the old nun's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant and she returned to her usual composure.

She looked at Shen Muxue and shook her head gently: "Miss Shen, it seems that your karma has not been eliminated yet."

Shen Muxue tried hard to calm her inner turmoil and turned her gaze to Master Daoyi.

The nun is old, but she has maintained herself well. If she puts on gorgeous clothes, she must be a rare and elegant figure in the world.

In the dream, Ling Fan seemed to be walking with someone, and seemed to have a connection with this old nun.

What is the reason?

Shen Muxue felt that the answer was right within reach, but she had forgotten it.

Her brows were furrowed for a moment, and Master Huixi looked uncomfortable because of the verbal rebuttal. She was not as outspoken as Master Huijing, but preferred to scheme behind the scenes and use ruthless means.

She took the opportunity to speak to Master Daoyi: "Master, this is a pure Buddhist place. Miss Shen, how dare you be so presumptuous? It's obvious that you don't take our small nunnery seriously. Master, we need to dampen her arrogance, otherwise, she might treat this place as her own private residence."

Master Daoyi clasped her hands together and said "hmm".

His eyes lingered on Shen Muxue, revealing a satisfied look as he reminded Master Huixi: "Be careful, this person is indeed quite good. I believe the Buddha will be pleased too."

Upon hearing this, Master Huixi was delighted and replied, "Don't worry, Master. I know what's going on."

Then she winked at the two strong nuns beside her, and they immediately approached Shen Muxue.

Qingyi sneered. Who dares to touch Shen Muxue?

She clenched her fists and was about to take action, but Shen Muxue suddenly said, "Don't be impatient, let's see what they are up to."

ha?

Ok!

Qingyi fought with Erni and soon pretended to be subdued.

Then, Shen Muxue's arm was also twisted and she was forced to kneel on the ground.

"You bitch, you actually dare to resist, wait and see how I teach you a lesson."

Master Hui Jing raised her hand to hit her, but Shen Muxue suddenly stared at her and said coldly, "If you dare to hit me, you can't keep this hand anymore."

There was a cold and determined smile in Shen Muxue's eyes, which made Master Hui Jing stunned.

She snorted coldly, "You can't even protect yourself, and you still dare to threaten me? I'm going to teach you a lesson."

"Wait a minute."

Master Huixi tried to stop him, whispering, "It would be a shame to damage such a beautiful face. There are other equally effective methods to deal with her."

Then he gave the nun a few instructions: "Lock her up in the woodshed and starve her for three days! Remember, the two of them must be imprisoned separately."

"Yes."

The nun then took Shen Muxue and Qingyi away.

Master Hui Jing was dissatisfied: "This girl is lucky. If it weren't for her beauty, I would have killed her long ago."

"Her life can only be extended for a few more days, but she will eventually die.

You and I both know how cruel that person is.

If we send her there by then, there's no chance of her surviving."

There was a cold light flashing in Master Huixi's eyes, which seemed out of place on her overly plain face.

These words finally calmed down the anger in Master Hui Jing's heart.

"You're right. Let her stay there for a few more days." Master Hui Jing mentioned that person with some trepidation. "I hope Shen Muxue can satisfy her."

……

Late at night, in the woodshed.

Qingyi quietly approached, untied Shen Muxue, and stole a lot of steamed buns from the kitchen.

Shen Muxue was chewing on a steamed bun, but her face had a serious expression.

"Miss, you..."

Qingyi seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if she was about to bite her tongue.

Shen Muxue looked at her and said, "Just say what you want to say."

"My lady, I find your recent behavior puzzling. If you wish to stay in the capital, you would have found a way. But you came here on your own initiative, bringing your mother's spirit tablet with you. I believe you did so of your own accord... Upon arriving here, I discovered that the nuns in this temple are all fierce and unfriendly. I truly do not understand what is going on in your mind, my lady. Tell me quickly. Otherwise, I will take you away from this horrible place right now."

Shen Muxue had no intention of keeping it a secret from her.

She walked to the window and motioned Qingyi to open it.

As soon as the window was opened, Shen Muxue asked Qingyi: "Smell it, what is this smell?"

Qingyi took a deep breath, a little confused. "This is the fragrance of osmanthus. I smelled it as soon as I entered the temple."

"But now is not the time when osmanthus flowers are in full bloom."

Qingyi said, "That should be the smell of incense. Noble ladies all love to wear sachets. Maybe they're wearing osmanthus-scented sachets."

Shen Muxue nodded.

"How much would it take to fill the entire mountain with this fragrance?"

Qingyi shook her head.

However, the amount used is definitely not small.

Shen Muxue continued, "Besides this, have you noticed anything else unusual?"

Qingyi recalled it carefully again and suddenly made a discovery.

There are several large halls in Qingshan Temple, which house some Buddha statues.

But the side room that was supposed to be used for accommodation was actually converted into a Buddhist temple.

When she passed by in the dark just now, she walked along the rooftops between the temples and felt that the entire courtyard was filled with Buddha statues, which was very creepy.

She rubbed her arms and asked Shen Muxue: "Miss, do you have any findings?"

"I have a guess, but I don't know if it's right." Shen Muxue pretended to be mysterious: "Wait a little longer, there may be an answer soon."

In the prime minister's residence.

After Shen Muxue left, Jin and her daughter lived a very comfortable life.

The huge backyard is still their territory.

However, before the day was over, an imperial edict came from the palace.

The person who came to announce the decree was Peng Haiming, a favorite of the emperor.

Prime Minister Shen and his entire family came to receive the imperial edict. Peng Haiming glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, frowned, and asked, "Why isn't Miss Shen here? Hurry and ask her to come over. The imperial edict is for her!"

For Shen Muxue!

Everyone was surprised. Prime Minister Shen couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead: "My daughter, she..."

Jin quickly interjected, "Please forgive me, sir. Xue'er went out shopping with her maid this morning and hasn't returned yet. I'll send someone to look for her right away."

As he said this, he threw a look at Madam Liu.

Nanny Liu understood what she meant and immediately took people out to look for him.

Jin guessed that it was some kind of reward from the palace, and shamelessly said, "Eunuch, I heard that the emperor has entrusted the task of resettling the refugees to Xue'er and Yao'er. Although Yao'er is not as good as Xue'er, she has also done her best..."

Peng Haiming was very smart and naturally understood what Jin meant.
