Chapter 566 - Mo Qiuyi, Who Had Changed Her Clothes (1/2)
Since Pushan Nun said so, Shao Yanru, who was sensible, certainly would not insist. After that, she had never seen the painting stamped with Pushan Nun’s private seal.
Unexpectedly, she received a painting of Pushan Nun stamped with her private seal. It seemed that the painting had a different meaning to Pushan Nun.
“Since it’s sent here, just put it away!” Shao Yanru said casually.
Receiving the order, Shuqi went to prepare toiletries for Shao Yanru. Shao Yanru went to visit Shao Wanru after washing up and having breakfast. However, she was informed that Shao Wanru had not woken up yet. So she had no choice but to go back to her room and wait.
After waiting for another while, Shao Yanru heard some sounds from the silence room and went over again. This time Shao Wanru had got up, and was having porridge after washing up. Seeing Shao Yanru come over, Shao Wanru enthusiastically invited her to have some porridge together. Shao Yanru just shook her head with a smile and said that she had eaten her breakfast.
Shao Wanru didn’t eat much. After taking a few mouthfuls of porridge, she put it down. Yujie softly cleaned up the dishes.
“Fifth Sister, this is the ointment I got from our mansion. I heard that it was granted by the imperial palace. Your hand has been injured, so has mine. Both of us can use it. I applied it to my hand last night, and now it gets much better!” Shao Yanru said with a smile and reached out her hand.
Her hand was not seriously scalded, but it looked a little scary yesterday because her white skin looked red with blisters. Today it seemed to be fine. Although it was still red, it was just a little swollen with no bulging blisters.
As Shao Yanru said, she took a jade bottle from Shuqi, put it in front of Shao Wanru and said, “Fifth Sister, you can try it!”
“No, thanks. My wound has almost healed!” Shao Wanru refused politely. Her hand didn’t bleed, but just had some scratches and a suspicious bite mark, which could not be seen by others. So when she got up just now, Yujie dressed her wound with a handkerchief.
“Although your wound has almost healed, it will leave a scar. It is said that this ointment can heal your wound without leaving a mark.” Shao Yanru softly introduced the ointment and pushed the jade bottle towards Shao Wanru.
It seemed to be hard to refuse her kindness.
“Well… Thank you, Big Sister. I’ll instruct Yujie to apply it to my wound later, since she has just dressed my wound a moment ago!” Shao Wanru said with a smile and reached out to take the jade bottle.
“The earlier you use it, the sooner your wound will be healed!” Shao Yanru said with an increasingly gentle look.
“Thank you for your kindness, Big Sister. I got it. I heard that you got a painting from Pushan Nun today. Can I have a look at it?” Shao Wanru said with an increasingly pleasant look and changed the topic with composure. She really didn’t dare to use the ointment given by Shao Yanru.
“The painting was entrusted to me by Pushan Nun, but doesn’t belong to me. Fifth Sister, please forgive me for being unable to show it to you for the time being. When I meet Pushan Nun later, I will definitely tell her about it. If Pushan Nun agrees, I will show it to you. Is that okay?”
Shao Yanru said with a decent smile, seeming to be in a dilemma but willing to think of a way to meet Shao Wanru’s demand. It was hard to believe that there was a vicious soul behind her pretty face.
“Thank you, Big Sister!” Shao Wanru said with little sincerity and reached out to pick up a scroll of scriptures beside her, “Do you want to join me in chanting scriptures, Big Sister?”
This time it was really a scroll of scriptures. Shao Yanru disdained that she found a script when she came over yesterday, but Shao Wanru presented a scroll of scriptures seriously today. So Shao Yanru said, “I’m not good at chanting scriptures, so I prefer to copy some Buddhist scriptures and put it in front of the Buddha. Nevertheless, I’ve been copying Buddhist scriptures all the time on the mountain and sometimes I feel tired. Fifth Sister, do you have some interesting scripts here?”
“Scripts? How could I have those things? I only have some scriptures here,” Shao Wanru said, as she took a wooden fish handed by Yujie, gently knocked on it and looked up at Shao Yanru with a serious look, “Big Sister, you must be joking.”
“Sorry for my recklessness. I thought that you read some scripts sometimes when feeling bored on the mountain. If you don’t have any, I’ll go to copy the Buddhist scriptures!” Shao Yanru said. She naturally didn’t believe Shao Wanru’s words, but she didn’t show her suspicion on her face, as if she believed anything Shao Wanru said even without noticing that Shao Wanru became cold because of her question.
She glanced at the silence room, where there were not many things. There were a few books looking like scriptures on the desk by the window. She could not tell what was in the drawer under the desk for the time being, but she guessed that there must be some scripts in it.
It was good if it was true! The more things against the rules Shao Wanru had in her place, the better. If Shao Wanru didn’t have any, she wanted to bring some here!
When she withdrew her gaze, she saw the locked box in the corner. The box was not big and placed in the corner, so no one would notice it in normal times. At this moment, there were some writing brushes and ink stones casually placed on it, which made it less likely to be moved. At the thought of this, she was quite satisfied!
After leaving Shao Wanru’s room, she said to Shuqi after standing in the corridor and thinking for a while. “Let’s go to see the nuns in the nunnery and ask for a few Buddhist scriptures!”
