Chapter 1374 The Taoist nun Qiu readily agreed.
The two were talking in hushed tones when they heard soft voices coming from the doorway.
Shu Yu sat up straight. "It must be Senior Sister Qiu."
Xiao immediately said nervously, "Shuyu, if Senior Sister Qiu doesn't agree, then forget it, there's no need..."
Before he could finish speaking, the people outside had already come in.
When Xiao looked up, she saw a somewhat elderly Taoist nun with a serious expression enter the room.
This Taoist nun seemed much stricter and more difficult to talk to than the Taoist nun Zheng from before.
But the next moment, the Taoist nun Qiu's voice, tinged with helplessness, rang out, "I already know what happened. Since you are a friend of the young lady, then please stay here."
"Senior Sister Qiu, you're so kind." Shu Yu stood up happily and ran to her side, her eyes beaming with anticipation.
Xiao was dumbfounded. This seemingly unapproachable Taoist nun had agreed so easily?
The nun Qiu sighed. "Alright, I have other matters to attend to. Pack your things and follow Junior Sister Zheng to the innermost room in the backyard to settle in. However, it's not appropriate for men to stay in the backyard. I heard this young lady has two guards?"
"Yes." Madam Xiao quickly stood up and nodded.
Those two guards were left behind by her husband to protect her; they were both very skilled.
Actually, it wasn't just those two guards; her two maids, one of whom took care of her daily life, and the other who also knew martial arts, were also present.
Her husband said that there were two other people secretly working for her, but she didn't know where they were.
Xiang Weinan's arrangements were all very thoughtful. To be honest, this was the first time Xiao Shi had received such considerate care from him since she married him.
The nun said, "There is another house on the back mountain, not far from the house you are staying in in the backyard. If you are willing, then you two benefactors can stay in the house in the backyard."
“Yes, that’s fine.” Madam Xiao nodded immediately.
After giving her instructions, the nun Qiu went to the front hall again.
Shu Yu and Xiao Shi followed Zheng Daogu to their lodgings. The backyard was always tidied up. The environment was quite nice and quiet, and not many people came here.
Xiao was very pleased; she had come to recuperate, and staying at the Taoist temple was just right for her.
The room was simply furnished with a bed, wardrobe, and table, a far cry from the room Xiao used to live in.
But Ms. Xiao thought it was quite nice. She didn't have much luggage, but once it was arranged, it became much cozier.
Shu Yu walked around outside for a while and said with a smile, "This place is nice. There's a vegetable garden in front and several flower beds nearby. You can plant some vegetables and flowers to pass the time when you have nothing to do. If you're really bored, go for a walk in the back mountain. There are occasional pilgrims there, so it won't look strange if you wear a veiled hat."
Xiao's eyes brightened slightly. Ever since she left the capital, she had made preparations. In order to avoid being discovered, she might be confined to her small courtyard and unable to step out of the door all day long.
It's already a rare privilege to be able to recuperate in such a serene and beautiful place, and to occasionally go out for a walk.
"Shuyu, thank you." Madam Xiao knew that Shuyu had put a lot of thought into arranging for her to stay here.
She was very grateful, and felt increasingly remorseful for misunderstanding her past and trying to introduce her to potential partners.
Shu Yu waved her hand, "No need to be so polite, you should rest first, I'll go into town to find Doctor Zhao."
