Is Chapter 1547 related to her again?
The Taoist nun sighed, "Their thinking is indeed related to you."
Shu Yu's eyes widened. "What does this have to do with me? I rarely come to Dongqing Temple."
"Yes, but you helped Benefactor Miao move his sister's eternal lamp to the ancestral master's seat."
Shu Yu, “…” Huh?
The nun Qiu could only explain to her, “As you know, moving this eternal lamp to the seat of the patriarch is a very important matter. Without the abbot’s permission, none of us can make the decision. But Miao’s sister did it, and to show how much importance she attached to it, Miao specially held a grand ceremony, which attracted many people to come and see.”
As a result, many people had this idea and came to talk to the Taoist nun Qiu about it.
The nun Qiu naturally couldn't make an exception, only saying that it was with the abbot's permission, and that moving the eternal lamp required the abbot's approval.
At Dongqing Temple, most worshippers dare not be too aggressive and eventually have to give up.
"I don't know what Benefactor Miao said to him, but he insisted that the abbot had returned. I told him that the abbot had written back with these instructions, but he still didn't believe me."
Shu Yu, “…” So Hao Dingshan had visited Master Miao before coming to Dongqing Temple?
However, Shu Yu was certain that Master Miao hadn't told them that this matter was related to him.
They had an agreement not to reveal their deal to strangers, especially since the one-year deadline was approaching and he didn't want to cause any trouble before the black market house was transferred.
Wei Ronghua was an exception, after all, he was introduced by Master Miao.
Since Master Miao wouldn't reveal their relationship, he had to make it up himself. Most likely... he fabricated a story that his overflowing sincerity moved Abbot Dongqing, especially since Abbot Dongqing was now confined to a small town in a neighboring county, where he was running a small business. Wasn't that the most direct proof of his sincerity? It seemed very convincing at first glance.
Shu Yu fell silent upon thinking about this.
Hao Dingshan must think that Master Miao had met with the Abbot of Dongqing Temple, otherwise how could he just give up such a huge fortune like that? Surely it couldn't have been discussed with the Abbot through correspondence, could it? Even the nuns at Dongqing Temple said that the Abbot's whereabouts are unpredictable; how could correspondence indicate such a significant matter?
However, Master Miao has not left Dong'an Prefecture in recent months, and his whereabouts are traceable, so the only explanation is that Abbot Dongqing has returned.
The thought that this matter was somehow related to her made Shu Yu feel inexplicably guilty.
She quickly changed the subject, "Senior Sister Qiu, did the people who came to bother us say what they wanted to see Master about?"
"They didn't say that, they just claimed it was a matter of life and death and they needed to see the abbot."
Shu Yu curled her lips. What kind of life-or-death matter is this? Why are you still using this moral blackmail?
She said to her senior sister Qiu, "I'm going to go see that person."
She said she was just looking around, but it wasn't a blatant visit. She knew the dining hall well and knew there was a high window in the back kitchen area that offered a clear view of the dining hall.
She climbed up directly onto the stool to see, and the dining hall was already more than half full.
Although it was still early, many pilgrims came to the Taoist temple specifically for a meal, and then returned before dark.
A person sitting in the corner, neither eating nor drinking, stood out from the others, which made him even more conspicuous.
Shu Yu glanced at him and realized that this person was different from the Hao Dingshan described by Xiao Shi.
It seems that this person was pushed to the forefront by Hao Dingshan to cover up the truth.
