Neither the young lady nor Miaoyan, the master and servant, knew the way, so the old lady arranged for a maid to lead the way for them.

This maid is also an acquaintance.

"Miss, the old lady is worried that you might be neglected by the servants since you are new here and unfamiliar with the place, so she arranged for Shanhu to come and take care of you."

The maid Shanhu led the way to Tao Anju, bowed and replied respectfully.

"Thank you for your trouble, Grandma!"

"Shanhu, you will be my personal maid from now on." The lady helped her up and said lightly.

Taoranju is very big, and Miaoyan was assigned a single room. With Shanhu as her personal maid, she had more free time and began to study the two basic books given by the system.

In the space, she had no body and could not practice. In this general's mansion, she had no worries about food and clothing every day, but boxing was not very convenient, so she began to try to practice body-building techniques.

At first, Miaoyan did not see any response when she practiced according to the formula in the book, but she had plenty of time, so she tried again and again, and finally a faint breath flowed through her body.

Miaoyan's body also changed. Her appetite doubled. Mother Chen saw this and advised: "Miaoyan, you should not be greedy. You will overeat."

"This..." Miao Yan didn't know how to explain. Although she ate two bowls of rice, she was only about 80% full.

Several women in the courtyard, such as Miss and Shanhu, were full with a small bowl of rice for each meal. Miaoyan's appetite had been so large for a long time that the Miss, who was as quiet as a chrysanthemum, couldn't help but ask about it.

"To be honest, young lady, my family has some martial arts skills. My father taught me some ways to strengthen my body. I started practicing after entering the mansion."

Miaoyan looked embarrassed and gave a half-truthful explanation to justify his appetite.

When the young lady heard her mention her father, her face seemed to recall the past. After believing her words, she comforted her with a few words and let her go.

Afterwards, Chen's mother and the others probably knew something about it and didn't say anything about her appetite.

The young lady got some food, and if there was any extra, she would leave an extra portion for Miaoyan, which was an unexpected surprise.

In ancient times, the women of wealthy families had a very boring life. They spent their days trapped within high walls and did not go out unless there was something to do.

The young lady was in mourning, and it was inconvenient to wear mourning clothes in the general's mansion. She didn't want to bring bad luck to the host family, so she dressed simply. She also exercised restraint in her diet, abstaining from meat and fish. Madam Chen also told Miaoyan not to wander around.

The young lady only went out after paying her respects to Old Madam Wang every day, and spent the rest of her time praying for her parents at home.

When she had some free time, Miaoyan learned some words from Mother Chen and also learned some embroidery from her.

In the blink of an eye, the weather gradually became colder, and the flowers and plants in the mansion withered. The maid who was cleaning complained that the leaves were never cleaned up properly.

At this time, Miaoyan and Mother Chen were in the room, packing some clothes and copied scriptures into a package.

Old Lady Wang invited the young lady to go to a temple outside the city to burn incense and stay for a while.

When going out, every aspect must be considered, so there will be a lot of things to pack. Mother Chen took Miaoyan to pack and told her what to bring. Shanhu was familiar with the mansion, so she went to the old lady to find out about the arrangements.

During this time, Miaoyan persisted in practicing the Body Strengthening Technique. In a short period of time, she grew taller, her face gained some flesh, and the faint aura within her body became stronger. When she practiced boxing in private, she discovered that with this aura, she could easily leave marks on stone.

She always had a vague sense of crisis in her heart, and she felt relieved when she found some results from her practice. No matter what, with the power, she would have a chance to escape if she really encountered anything.

…

The General's Mansion is considered one of the nobles in Nanyang City. The female members of the family travel in a large procession, and are escorted by soldiers wearing armor.

Walking through the streets of the city, people on the roadside were talking about it.

In the team carriage, the young lady was reading a book, while Miaoyan and Shanhu were sitting beside her.

This time we took a carriage from the general's mansion. Of course, it was not comparable to the carriage we had used before. Not only was it spacious, but it was also not bumpy when riding.

Mother Chen was sitting in the back carriage to take care of the clothes she brought, so she was not in the carriage with them.

Miaoyan looked at the huge team and thought that no one would be so desperate as to come and rob them, so she fell asleep in the car in a daze.

"Ouch~"

When the noise made by the horse woke her up, Miaoyan realized that a long time had passed. Her neck was a little numb because of her sleeping posture. She looked inside the car and saw the young lady still reading a book in the same posture. Shanhu saw her with her neck tilted and looked at her teasingly.

Miao Yan mobilized the weak energy cultivated in his body to the sore part of his neck, and soon he felt the soreness and numbness fade away.

She lifted the curtain and looked outside. She could already see the outline of the temple, so she guessed they were almost there.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, the team stopped.

Miaoyan and Shanhu got off the carriage, turned around and helped the young lady get off as well, and then they saw the secluded temple in front of them.

"Foguang Temple."

The young lady looked at the plaque on the temple and read softly.

"Miss, this Foguang Temple is famous in the city for its efficacy. Many ladies love to come here to pray for peace and good marriage."

Coral was telling some interesting stories on the side, and Miaoyan heard everything because he was close by.

The young lady took them to meet the old lady, and saw an old monk with white eyebrows and beard holding Buddhist beads and talking to the old lady next to her.

"grandmother."

The young lady walked over to greet the old lady, interrupting their conversation.

The old lady smiled and called out, "Zhi'er." Then she introduced the monk next to her, "This is Master Huikong from Foguang Temple."

"Greetings, Master Huikong." The young lady bowed slightly.

"Amitabha."

Master Huikong chanted the Buddha's name.

The young lady supported the old lady and went to a side room with Master Huikong and his party.
