Although the driver didn't explain clearly, things are definitely not going to turn out well.

Jiang Qiao couldn't say anything else. She couldn't very well say that her relatives were here. Putting aside the driver's identity and background, there were some things that she should keep to herself and didn't need to tell outsiders.

"It's okay, I don't care about that. I live my own life, and I don't care what others think of me. I'm barefoot, why would I be afraid of those wearing shoes?"

The driver hesitated for a moment. Jiang Qiao's demeanor clearly showed that she was confident, so he didn't say anything more.

"Young lady, be careful in everything after you leave. Those people often harass the nuns in the nunnery. Sigh, you're a young lady alone; don't let yourself get hurt—"

The driver meant well, and Jiang Qiao appreciated his kindness. "Thank you, driver. Don't worry, if I can come, I can go back."

The driver was a kind man; he took Jiang Qiao to the entrance of the nunnery, helped unload all her things, and then hurriedly left.

The main problem was that the temple gate hadn't been opened. Jiang Qiao had called for the door, but no one answered. This was very strange, and the driver was also wary. So, after giving a few instructions, he drove away.

Jiang Qiao was puzzled. Why was no one answering from the nunnery in broad daylight? Looking at the mottled marks on the gate, what else did Jiang Qiao not understand?

She didn't call for help. She had seen the traps outside before. She ran around them, leaped into the air, nimbly climbed the wall, and landed safely in the courtyard.

Seeing the mess in the courtyard, Jiang Qiao's heart tightened. "Master, Master, Aunt, Aunt, did you hear me? Please answer?"

The two young nuns hiding in the room clung to Wen Xueyi, trembling. "Master?"

At this moment, Wen Xueyi was even thinner and weaker than Jiang Qiao had seen before. Her mental state was not good, and her face was extremely pale.

Upon hearing her great-aunt's voice from behind, she patted the two little girls in her arms, saying, "Don't be afraid, it's family. Go out and greet them!"

Jiang Qiao had just run to the door when she saw someone open it. She had no time to look at anything else, but when she saw Wen Xueyi lying on the bed, her eyes immediately turned red.

"Master, how are you? Are you alright?"

When Wen Xueyi saw Jiang Qiao appear before her, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face. "Good child, you've come! Come, let me see you—"

Jiang Qiao rushed over, hugged Wen Xueyi, and looked her up and down. Then, she took Wen Xueyi's pulse and shook her head as she took her pulse. "Master, you are so disobedient. What did I say when I left? Why didn't you listen to me? Why couldn't you take good care of your health?"

Wen Xueyi sighed, "I'd love to, but the situation doesn't allow it. Girl, don't be angry. Did you bring the medicine? Give me some quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on—"

Jiang Qiao helped Wen Xueyi lie down, then turned to the two young nuns and instructed them, "Little nuns, could you please quickly get some hot water? I need to give the nun acupuncture first. The nun's condition is very bad, and I have to save her quickly. Also, there are some things at the main entrance; could you please find a way to bring them in? They are all things I bought for you."

The two nodded and hurried out to work. Wen Xueyi sighed, "Girl, when did you get better? Your father wrote to me saying that something had happened to you. What exactly happened?"

Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile, and then briefly explained the whole story. Since her identity was already out in the open, there was no harm in talking to the nun.

"Oh, you silly child, how could you be so careless? Luckily you're alright now. I knew it! I was wondering why I hadn't heard from you all this time. Turns out you escaped death by a hair's breadth. You're lucky to be alive. You'll have to be more careful in the future."

"Grandma, please stop talking about me. What exactly happened here? How did things turn out like this?"

Wen Xueyi sighed, "Girl, how long have you been unconscious? You must have heard about what's happening outside. This place used to be a peaceful place, but it's not like that anymore. What does this place represent? Feudal superstition."

Those young people, having nothing better to do, just came at us. What can we women do? We don't have the strength to fight back, and given the situation, it's not just our family; other families are experiencing the same thing.

I have no one to confide in about my suffering, and I have nowhere to seek justice.

"Qiao'er, did you bring any food? The nunnery is out of food; these people stole it all. We've been without food for days. Those of you who went to the city to sell herbs and also beg for alms should see if you can bring back some food."

While giving Wen Xueyi acupuncture, Jiang Qiao said, "Don't worry about that. I was just afraid that life here would be hard for you. I brought everything I needed. Aunt, why don't you come with me? We won't stay here anymore."

Wen Xueyi sighed, "If I leave, what will happen to these children? You saw those two, they're not nuns, they're two children my apprentice picked up. Something happened to their families, and no one dared to take them in. You know, it's dangerous for a young girl to be left out there. If I leave, they'll lose their support."

"Girl, I know you're worried about me, but your great-aunt has never had any other thought in this life. I have to be worthy of my brother's kindness and sacrifice for me back then, and I have to be worthy of all the people who have been with me. I can't abandon them for my own comfort—"

Jiang Qiao sighed, "Alright, don't worry about it. I'll deal with these bastards for you later. What kind of people are they? How dare they come to any place?"

"Don't say that. If someone hears it, it will cause trouble again. It's lucky that they don't know my original identity. If they did, there would probably be a lot of trouble."

Although I don't go out much, I hear about most of what's happening outside. Girl, things are different now; you have to be careful what you do.

Jiang Qiao said angrily, "We can't let anyone bully us. We are good people, but some people just bully good people. We can't tolerate such people. I have a plan for this. You just focus on getting better these next few days. I'll stay here for a while."

I was thinking of taking you to see my grandfather, but with your health, are you sure you can manage?

Wen Xueyi turned to look at Jiang Qiao, "Really? I can really go see my older brother?"

Jiang Qiao nodded. "Why not? You're both getting old. As you grow older, I'm worried you might never have the chance to meet again."

Grandma, please rest assured and focus on getting better. I promise I'll arrange for you two to meet sometime later.

"Tell me, how heartbroken would my grandfather be if he saw you like this?"

After giving Wen Xueyi acupuncture and medicine, Jiang Qiao watched as she fell asleep before getting up to go out and help.

The two girls were indeed quite young, around ten years old, and not very strong, so Jiang Qiao had to go out and help carry the things in.
