Chapter 1437 The Xiao Family Becomes Peaceful

Seeing his anxiety, Shu Yu didn't keep him in suspense and told him about the decision of the Abbot of Dongqing Temple.

Upon hearing this, Master Miao let out a long sigh, sat back down on the stone bench in a daze, and slowly smiled, looking relieved.

A moment later, he stood up again, cupped his hands to Shu Yu and said, "I know that the abbot of Dongqing Temple will agree, all thanks to Lord Lu Xiang's intercession. I thank Lord Lu Xiang for his help."

Shu Yu waved his hand, "Master Miao, you're too kind. My master asked me to pass on a few words to you."

She told him everything that the abbot of Dongqing Temple had said.

After listening, Master Miao remained silent for a long time.

After a long pause, he looked up and smiled, “The abbot is indeed the abbot. She is right. It seems that Dong’an Prefecture has already forgotten about me. After years of hard work, it is on the verge of decline. At first, I was indeed anxious and easily angered, but later I came to understand. If giving away all my wealth could bring my sister back to life, I would not hesitate. However, I know that is impossible. Now, by not getting involved in those unethical businesses, I can let my sister rest in peace in the afterlife.”

He feels good about things now; he doesn't feel as tired as before.

Moreover, now that his sister's worries about the eternal lamp are over, he will have even less to worry about in the future.

Shu Yu still needed to visit Madam Xiao, so after clearing up her doubts, she said to Master Miao, "Since Master Miao happens to be at Dongqing Temple today, please wait for me a little longer. I'll go find Senior Sister Qiu and convey Master's message to her. Then Master Miao can discuss with Senior Sister Qiu whether to move the eternal lamp today or choose a better day."

Master Miao's eyes lit up. "Alright, then I'll trouble you, Lord Lu."

Shu Yu nodded and got up to go to the main hall.

As always, Sister Qiu was busy, but when she saw Shu Yu coming over, she instructed the other nuns to do their work and went to the side room with her to talk.

"You said you went to find the abbot last time, did you find him?" The nun poured her a cup of water and asked with concern.

Shu Yu nodded. "Yes, I saw him and even spoke with Master for a while. Master asked me to bring back a letter for Senior Sister."

The Taoist nun was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected that she would actually find the person.

She quickly took the letter, opened it, and began to read.

The letter contained little information; besides mentioning Master Miao's affairs, it also explained some matters concerning the temple.

After reading it, the nun put it away. "Alright, I'll take care of this."

“Master Miao is right outside the hall. Senior Sister, you should discuss it with him. I’m going to the backyard to check on my friend.”

The nun waved her hand, "Go ahead, have lunch here?"

"good."

After the nun Qiu went out, Shu Yu saw that Master Miao was eager to talk to her, so she didn't go over and turned to walk towards the backyard.

When I saw Madam Xiao again, I found that her temperament was different from the last time.

The first time I met Xiao Shi, she still had a haughty and arrogant demeanor.

The last time I saw Xiao, she had not only become thinner, but she had also become dejected and timid.

The Xiao family is now unusually peaceful.

It seems that this Taoist temple is a very suitable place for her to recuperate, both physically and mentally.

Xiao poured her a cup of flower tea. "I picked these myself on the back mountain. It was hot, so they dried quickly. They smell very good. Try some."

As the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, Xiao Shi had received professional instruction in tea brewing, and Shu Yu truly had a rare opportunity to taste such authentic and fragrant tea.
