Chapter 783 The Master of Dongqing Monastery
Wang Changdong was taken aback, then nodded subconsciously. "Are you looking for Miss Lu?"
road?
The abbot of Dongqing Temple raised his eyebrows in surprise. The little girl had already regained her surname?
She chuckled. "Yes, where is she?"
"Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and Miss Lu has gone back to the county town to prepare for the New Year. Are you acquainted with Miss Lu, Taoist priest? If there is anything urgent, you can let me know, or I can go to the county town to find Miss Lu for you."
The abbot of Dongqing Temple glanced at Wang Changdong in surprise. Hmm... He was relaying her message and helping her find someone, but he didn't directly tell her Shu Yu's address so she could come to him.
This is because they're afraid she might have a grudge against the little girl and would cause her trouble.
It's unbelievable that in such a short time, the little girl has become so capable that even the steward of this manor is protecting her in every way.
Sure enough, even when she's not around, the little girl doesn't need her to worry about her.
In that case, she can rest assured.
The abbot of Dongqing Temple smiled kindly and said, "This humble monk is indeed an old friend of that little girl. I was traveling around and passed through this place, so I wanted to see her. Since she is not in the village, there is no need to force a meeting. If you know her, could you please help me pass on something to her?"
"Of course." Wang Changdong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she wasn't an enemy. This Taoist nun looked very unfathomable and was probably a master. She still didn't want Miss Lu to have any grudges with such a person.
The abbot of Dongqing Temple took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it over, saying, "Please help me pass this on."
Wang Changdong took it, not knowing what was inside, but it seemed quite important, so he carefully put it away.
The abbot of Dongqing Temple said, "Thank you for your help, benefactor. I will take my leave now."
"Eh? Daoist Master is leaving already? It's already New Year's Eve, and it's freezing cold. Why don't you stay and celebrate the New Year before you leave?"
People these days tend to treat Taoist priests and Buddhist monks with relative friendliness and respect.
Since they meant no harm, Wang Changdong was naturally very enthusiastic.
The abbot of Dongqing Temple thanked him, saying, "No need, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer."
She nodded and prepared to turn and leave.
After taking only two steps, she stopped and asked Wang Changdong, "By the way, there's something I'd like to ask you about."
"Please speak, Taoist priest."
"The governor should have visited Zhengdao Village by now, right?"
Wang Changdong nodded, "He's been here." This wasn't a secret; everyone in Zhengdao Village knew about it.
The abbot of Dongqing Temple nodded. "Then Shu Yu has met the governor, right?"
"Yes, I have seen it."
Having received affirmative answers to both questions, Abbot Dongqing smiled with satisfaction and said, "Farewell."
This time, she really left.
Wang Changdong stood there in a daze until her figure gradually disappeared at the village entrance. Then he scratched his head and said strangely, "Aren't you really going to see Miss Lu? Wouldn't that be a wasted trip?"
He squeezed the purse in his sleeve again; this must be something extremely important.
Wang Changdong turned back into the courtyard, said something to the official guarding the estate, and then planned to leave ahead of schedule.
With his bundle packed and his purse securely placed, he eagerly headed towards the county town.
He knew the Lu family's address in the county town. Holding his purse, Wang Changdong went to find Shu Yu before even returning home.
Hearing the knock on the door, Shu Yu thought it was Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi.
