Chapter 5: Shen Xiuyan Investigates Xuanji Temple



In front of Shen Xiuyan, Jiang Mianmian unwrapped the child and pointed at the child and said:

"Chen Xiuyan, open your eyes wide and look carefully at what your daughter wants to look like. She looks 80% similar to your wife, with an oval face and big eyes. Her nose is tall and straight like yours, giving her a well-defined shape."

Then, Jiang Mianmian continued to tell Shen Xiuyan about his daughter's other characteristics: "See, there is a red mole the size of a grain of rice behind her ear, a plum blossom birthmark the size of a fingernail on her lower back, and on her right leg..."

Jiang Mianmian ignored Shen Xiuyan's constantly changing expression and continued to count the physical features of the child, then pointed them all out to Shen Xiuyan:

"You must memorize all of this child's characteristics. I'm telling you, I'll ask you questions next time, okay?"

Shen Xiuyan: “…………”

No, mother, what's the matter with you? You even asked him to memorize his daughter's characteristics... Memorize it, and if you don't like me, just tell me!

Why...how to punish me, Shen Xiuyan was speechless and looked up at the sky at this time?

He saw that Jiang Mianmian was still repeating herself over and over again, trying to improve her memory, and she was blabbering on about a bunch of memory points!

At this time, Shaoyao, a second-class maid beside Li Tingxue, walked in and rescued her.

Shaoyao bowed to the two of them and said, "Old Madam, Young Master, Master Jingci of Baoguang Temple has learned that our mansion has a new little girl and wants to pray for her. Did the Young Madam ask this servant to take the little girl away?"

Shen Xiuyan was quite happy to hear the maid's words. He heard that this Nun Jingci was also a profound Taoist. He didn't expect that she would be willing to pray for his daughter! Then he was about to hand the child in his arms to the maid.

But after hearing what the little maid said, Jiang Mianmian felt something was wrong and immediately reached out to stop him:

"No, the child is too weak. If we carry him out like this, who knows if he will catch a cold. What if he catches a cold?

If Master Jingci wants to pray for the child and ward off disasters, then we will wait until the child is one month old and then ask Master Jingci to go to the mansion.

However, our mansion is happy to have a new baby today, thanks to the help of Xuanji Temple. We can donate more incense money to express our gratitude to the Buddha!"

After saying that, Jiang Mianmian felt uneasy again and took the child from Shen Xiuyan's hands personally.

"Hmph! Don't think I don't know. If this child is taken away, she won't be my granddaughter when she comes back. Since her biological father is so unreliable, it's better for me, her grandmother, to hold her myself."

Shaoyao looked at the old lady who refused to give her the child, and a hint of anxiety and nervousness flashed in her eyes.

She turned around and looked at Shen Xiuyan expectantly, hoping that he could persuade the old lady. After all, it was rare for Master Jingci to chant sutras to pray for blessings and ward off disasters for people, and the eldest young master would definitely agree after hearing it.

Besides, the sun was shining brightly today, and she felt a little hot even with only a single layer of clothing on, so how could she possibly freeze the young lady? This... this old lady was really good at making excuses!

Seeing that the maid still refused to leave, Jiang Mianmian knew that this was the eldest daughter-in-law's request, so she could only say, "Didn't you say you wanted to pray? Okay, I'll go with you. Who knows if someone ordered you to steal the child?"

Anyway, she has made up her mind that no one can separate her and her granddaughter, and they must be inseparable.

When Shaoyao heard what Jiang Mianmian said, her face turned pale instantly, but she didn't dare to say anything. After all, the more she said, the more mistakes she would make. It would be better not to say anything.

Suddenly, Jiang Mianmian seemed to think of something, and she turned to look at Shen Xiuyan.

Oh, instead of finding excuses to prevent the child from receiving blessings, why not let Shen Xiuyan check it out himself?

[By the way, in my dream today, I seemed to be seeing Chen Xiuyan's white moonlight—Han Lanjiao. She also seemed to have given birth recently, and she seemed to have come here to burn incense. I wonder if she has anything to do with this matter.]

[Besides, there are so many temples and nunneries in the capital, how could it be such a coincidence that a few days ago, the rumor spread that Xuanji Nunnery was effective in praying for a daughter, and for some reason, Li Tingxue suddenly came here to burn incense and pray for a daughter.]

[She happened to be bumped into by someone in Xuanji Nunnery, causing her to go into premature labor. Furthermore, the return trip required a long, bumpy carriage ride, which was unsafe. Li Tingxue was forced to stay and give birth there.]

[And Chen Xiuyan's Bai Yueguang, who didn't give birth early or late, chose to come to the capital with a big belly to give birth, and she gave birth around the same time as Li Tingxue. And my little granddaughter was switched for no apparent reason.]

Thinking of herself, Jiang Mianmian glanced at Shen Xiuyan with disdain again.

"Hmph, it's all your fault. You actually allowed the child to be replaced right under my nose. You caused all that romantic debt back then, and now you're making my little granddaughter pay for it. I really want to beat you to death right now!"

At this moment, Shen Xiuyan stared blankly at his mother who was about to beat him to death.

He he he…

Shen Xiuyan was completely bewildered. Oh my God, it seemed as if he had heard his mother's voice?

But what is Bai Yueguang? Also, when did Han Lanjiao become his Bai Yueguang? He himself didn't know it.

Also, swapping children? What's going on? A lot of questions suddenly popped up in Shen Xiuyan's head. It felt out of the question.

After a moment, Shen Xiuyan came to his senses and rubbed his face violently with both hands, trying to keep himself awake.

See if there is something wrong with his hearing or eyes. Otherwise, how could he hear his mother's mumbling voice?

But...that voice is exactly the same as my mother's voice?

He had heard it since he was little, so how could he have heard it wrong? And he was clearly staring at his mother the whole time, so how did she make the sound?

Could it be that... there are too many women in the nunnery, and the yin energy is too strong, so...

Thinking of this, Shen Xiuyan shuddered immediately!

No, no, the Master does not speak of strange things.

Oh my, this is a nunnery, not a mass grave. What is he thinking? What's more, his wife next door is still resting. How could he think like this? It seems that he was really stimulated by his mother's incident!

Shen Xiuyan also had some doubts in his heart at this time, and then walked out of the room.

He said to a woman outside the house, "Go find a nun from Xuanji Temple. Remember, don't disturb others. Got it?"

The old woman heard what the young master said and was secretly puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask. She just nodded and said "yes". She bowed and immediately turned to leave the yard.
