Chapter 469 - The Rush Cushion That Knocked Over a Hall (1/2)

Huiqing, the eldest disciple of Pushan Nun, came out from behind the wall!

She was in her 20s and very thin. She was looking at Shao Wanru with hostility. She had been picking on Shao Wanru ever since Wanru came up the mountain.

Seeing that she was rude to her miss again, Yujie was about to get angry. But Shao Wanyu reached out and grabbed her, indicating that she should step back.

“Huiqing Nun, I’m asking my maid about my eldest sister. I heard that she went down the mountain because of my grandmother’s illness, so I couldn’t feel at ease for a while. That’s why I missed listening to the scripture,” Shao Wanru said softly.

“Don’t make an excuse, you actually didn’t listen carefully. Fifth Miss went up the mountain for filial piety, not to travel through the mountains and rivers. I will punish you for not having lunch later. Clean up this hall!”

Huiqing raised her head and scolded her sharply.

Yujie was so angry that she wanted to jump. This person named Huiqing was obviously finding fault with her deliberately. “Our Fifth Miss is so petite and you don’t give her food, so she has no strength to work.”

“You still dare to talk back. Don’t think that I won’t do anything to you just because you are the servant girl of Duke Xing’s Mansion. At that time, all the girl servants of Miss Shao were very well-behaved. It can be seen that the servant girls are of the same kind as their master. My words are the orders of my master. If you feel that you can’t stay here any longer, you can go down the mountain! The front gate is over there, and you can reach it in a few steps!”

“Bah!” Huiqing sneered. After she said that, she left unsteadily without paying attention to the master and the servant.

She had only taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped. She turned around to look at Shao Wanru and said mockingly, “Fifth Miss, if you’re not patient, don’t try to fish for fame here!”

After that, she turned around and left.

Yujie was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she almost wanted to rush over and scratch Huiqing’s disgusting face. She grew up in the nunnery, but she had never seen such a hateful nun.

Huiqing said that Shao Yanru’s servant girl was good, while Wanru’s servant girl was not a good one. Who was she scolding?

Shao Wanru carelessly pulled Yujie’s sleeves and said with a smile, “Well, there is no need to be angry with her. She is just instigated by others.”

“Has she listened to First Miss Shao’s instigation?” Yujie gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. Of course, she knew that she couldn’t make trouble on the mountain at this time.

“Of course it wasn’t Shao Yanru herself who ordered her to do it. Those good servant girls could have done better, and they didn’t let others suspect that she did it!”

Shao Wanru said calmly, “Go inquire about the quiet room first. You can ask Pushan Nun directly. You don’t need to ask about her disciples of the Hui generation.”

She couldn’t see through this nun who seemed to be noble. But why did such a noble person take in such mean and harsh disciples?

Not only Huiqing, but also her other disciple, Huiming, was said to be not good. She had grandiose aims but puny abilities. She flattered powerful people and stepped on people who were weak. So her reputation in the Huixin Nunnery was not good.

Although Yujie had not been here for a long time, she still inquired about this matter clearly. Her original identity in the nunnery gave her a lot of advantages.

“I’ll go and listen to it immediately, and I’ll bring you a steamed bun secretly later,” Yujie said proficiently, and then warned worriedly, “When the preaching is over, they’re all gone. Miss, you don’t work first, wait for me to do it!”

Since they entered the Yuhui Nunnery, Huiqing and Huiming had picked on her Miss many times. They didn’t give her Miss food sometimes. Young Madam was in the stage of growing up, so she could not withstand hunger.

“It doesn’t matter. You can go first!” Shao Wanru smiled and nodded.

Then the two separated. Yujie went to inquire about Master Pushan. Shao Wanru went into the main hall and continued to listen to scriptures. This time, the directing nun of the Yuhui Nunnery was talking about the Buddha dharma. By the time she finished, one hour had passed and the nuns had left one after another.

Shao Wanru, Qu Le, and Mingqiu Nun were left there.

Shao Wanru stayed here and didn’t leave. Qu Le went to the place where the preaching just happened and folded up the rush cushions one by one. Mingqiu Nun’s face darkened.

“What’s going on? Are you going to be punished again?”

Shao Wanru smiled unconcernedly and stood up to help Mingqiu Nun up. “It’s me who went out to inquire about the matter of First Miss Shao and violated the rules of the nunnery. She asked me to stay and clean up!”

Mingqiu Nun now stayed in this nunnery. It was Chu Liuchen’s arrangement.

Although she was a newcomer, all nuns of the Yuhui Nunnery did not dare to look down upon her. She moved in because of her excellent medical skills, and she had the reason to cure Prince Chen. Even this matter was agreed upon by Empress Dowager. If she were not a nun, she would not have been arranged to the Yuhui Nunnery.

“Mingqiu Nun, that Huiqing is really detestable. Together with Huiming, she often causes trouble for Miss and looks as if she wants to drive Miss down the mountain. Miss is here to observe mourning and has agreed to do this for three years. If Miss is driven down the mountain at this time, she’ll be too ashamed to meet anyone in the future. Even if they cause trouble at the Yuhui Nunnery, it’ll be inconvenient to be seen by others,” Qu Le said angrily.
