Chapter 2293 Married Another Wife
Master?
Upon seeing this, Shu Yu immediately straightened her back.
Before she set her wedding date last year, she had gone to Dongqing Temple to inquire about her master's whereabouts from her senior sister Qiu. When that failed, she asked Qiu to keep an eye out for him and, if there was any news, to convey the news of her upcoming marriage. She hoped her master could attend her wedding.
Unfortunately, there has been no news.
It had been two years since they last met. They had a meal at Changjin Mansion and then parted ways in a hurry because their master said he was going to the capital.
At the beginning of this year, Shu Yu went to the capital to inquire about her master, but to no avail.
Unexpectedly, Master went to the Southwest again?
Shu Yu lowered her head and continued reading the letter.
As the former symbol of power in Dong'an Prefecture, the Shu family had all met the Abbess of Dongqing Temple. Shu Quan naturally recognized her as well, and he also knew that the Abbess of Dongqing Temple had once been a guest of honor of the late emperor.
As a result, the princes below began to stir with ambition. Back when the Shu family had not yet fallen from grace, the second prince had even instructed his uncle, who was now the prefect, to search for the abbot of Dongqing Temple.
However, ever since the late emperor appreciated her, the abbess of Dongqing Temple has rarely been seen at the temple; her whereabouts are unpredictable. The Shu family still holds some influence in Dong'an Prefecture, but their influence elsewhere is questionable, which greatly displeases the Second Prince.
Not long after, the Shu family was investigated and abandoned in the power struggle between the second and third princes.
For Shu Quan, the abbess of Dongqing Temple was not simply the abbess of a Taoist temple. Even if she was a reclusive master, she was still someone who had been directly or indirectly involved in the power struggles of the imperial court.
What good intentions could Shu Feng possibly have in getting involved with the abbot of Dongqing Temple?
In particular, the abbot of Dongqing Temple was clearly under the control of Shu Feng at the time, as if he was being pushed into the door by Shu Feng.
Upon seeing this, Shu Yu's expression instantly changed.
Master is controlled by Shu Feng? How is that possible? What is Shu Feng planning? She continued reading anxiously.
Shu Quan said he felt the problem was quite serious, and that Shu Feng might be planning something big.
Of course, he was secretly hoping that Shu Feng would do something reckless, but he was also worried that as a member of the Shu family, he would be implicated.
They're already living such a hard life in the southwest, but at least they're still alive. The Shu family can't withstand any more turmoil. If they get involved in those messy things, they'll be dead for good.
Shu Quan quickly made a decision in his mind. He needed to figure out Shu Feng's purpose and why the Dongqing Temple Master was in his hands.
However, the eldest and second branches of the Shu family had long since stopped interacting, so if he went directly over there, it would easily arouse Shu Feng's suspicion.
After much deliberation, Shu Quan finally set his sights on Shu Feng's wife.
Before the Shu family was raided and exiled, Shu Feng had been married. Seeing that the Shu family was about to be in trouble, his wife's family took the initiative to make them divorce.
Therefore, Shu Feng was alone when he was exiled to the southwest. He spent two years realizing his situation, and then, following the advice of the eldest wife of the Shu family, he married another woman in the area.
However, the girls he can marry now, not to mention their status and position, are completely different from his previous wife in terms of appearance and personality.
The woman he now called "Sister-in-law" was only decent-looking, illiterate, and had a rough and uncouth personality. In Shu Feng's eyes, who had once had a dignified and generous wife and a gentle and considerate concubine, she was a vulgar woman whom he despised.
