Chapter 214: The Cold Buddhist Girl and the Sinister Young City Lord 9
When the news about Shen Qi arrived in Qingzhou, Shen Suyuan was discussing important matters with his father in the study.
A gray-white pigeon landed by the window. Shen Suyuan walked over, opened the letter, and read it carefully.
He drank his tea solemnly, but his eyes were always focused on his son's expression and behavior.
"I heard that you fell in love with a little nun in the Lotus Temple."
Shen Suyuan grabbed the note, his eyes indifferent: "Who is gossiping in your ear?"
"It doesn't matter who said it." Shen Zhong put down the teacup and said earnestly, "It doesn't matter if she's a nun. If you like her, just marry her."
"I don't have any romantic feelings for that young master." When Shen Suyuan mentioned Cha Jiu, he thought of her beautiful and kind face, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. "I just found it very novel. When I was next to her, I couldn't hear the voices of those ghosts."
Shen Zhong was surprised: "There is such a strange thing."
If so, then we should...
"Don't think about her." Shen Suyuan glanced at his father with a smile, as if he knew what he was thinking, "I won't live past 25, so there's no need to harm the girl."
A heavy sigh.
Shen Suyuan turned his head and looked at the unbridled spring light outside the window, but he himself stood in the shadow, not illuminated at all. He said calmly: "I don't want to go through the same painful experience as my elder brother and sister-in-law."
Fire, blood, weeping, wailing.
Shen Suyuan still remembers the tragic scene of that year vividly.
Shen Zhong had only two children, both of whom were cursed.
Just as the divine power predicted, my eldest brother died tragically at the age of 25. His past will also become Shen Suyuan's tomorrow.
"Okay, I'm leaving." The affairs in Qingzhou were almost dealt with, so Shen Suyuan turned around and was about to leave.
Shen Zhong was stunned: "Where are you going?"
"Go and seek justice for my young master."
After he walked away, Shen Zhong finally reacted and cursed him secretly: "You little bastard, you still say you don't like me!"
…
On the other hand, even though Cha Jiu had already resigned in front of the gods and Buddhas, the housekeeper of the Jiang family still refused to give in and stayed in the nunnery every day, insisting that she put her fingerprints on the red paper of recognition of relationship.
"Miss, Xu Banxian said that it's not enough to just sever your relationship. You have to acknowledge this evil person as your relative. Only then can this evil spirit be suppressed and not invade our Jiang family."
"Since you have cultivated a bodhisattva's heart, why not just acknowledge this relationship and repay the Jiang family for giving birth to you."
The butler spoke these words with a sense of righteousness.
His attitude also represents the attitude of the Jiang family's master and mistress. Since they were the ones who gave Cha Jiu this body, they have the right to dispose of it.
Cutting off the relatives is not reliable enough, and it is necessary to suppress it with the help of a person of destiny to ensure the restoration of the Jiang family's fortune.
The housekeeper was not satisfied with his pestering, and while Shen Qi was away, he also wanted to forcibly grab Cha Jiu's hand and make her put her fingerprints on the red paper.
Cha Jiu took a few steps back, picked up a willow branch, dipped it in water, and then brushed it on the housekeeper's face.
The butler suddenly felt a stinging pain in his eyes and had difficulty moving forward.
At the same time, a tall figure approached, drew his sword with a "swish" sound, and split the unlucky red paper in half.
The butler was frightened and fell to the ground. When he came to his senses, he frantically checked whether any of his ten fingers were missing.
Shen Suyuan's face was as cold as ice. He placed the knife across the housekeeper's neck and said gloomily, "She has a bodhisattva's heart, but I don't."
In conclusion, he ignored the butler's plea for mercy and was about to swing his sword.
Cha Jiu grabbed his sleeve and stopped him.
Shen Suyuan turned around to look at her and explained, "He has a life."
And it’s the ghost of a little girl.
He deserved to die.
Cha Jiu said, "I know, but he was touched by my Willow Water. The more sinful a person is, the more severe the backlash will be. There is no need to dirty your hands."
After hearing this, Shen Suyuan obediently put away his sword.
Shen Qi, who had just returned, was extremely surprised when he saw this.
The butler was still worried when he felt a stinging pain in his eyes. He wiped his hands and found blood.
"This, this..." The butler was shocked. The more he wiped away his tears, the more blood and blood came out, and he also wiped off a few pieces of meat.
He remembered what Cha Jiu had just said and the willow branch, and thought he was under a spell, so he kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Please spare my life, Miss. I am only doing things for the master and the mistress. They are the ones who want to harm you!"
The butler with blood on his hands crawled towards Cha Jiu, but was kicked away by Shen Suyuan with a look of disgust.
Cha Jiu said: "Every word and action has its cause and effect. Your retribution today comes from your sins, and Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang will also receive their own consequences."
"Go back and tell Mr. Jiang to dig up the peach tree in the courtyard and see what's underneath."
The housekeeper burst into tears and said, "Miss, Xu Banxian said that peach tree is the place of luck for the Jiang family and it cannot be dug up. Please be kind and remove the curse on me."
Shen Suyuan sneered: "If they don't want to dig, then we will do it."
Having said that, he reached out and took Cha Jiu's hand, ready to take her out of Lianhua Temple.
Cha Jiu was startled: "Where are you going?"
"Hengzhou Jiang Family."
"No." Cha Jiu also knew that Qingzhou and Hengzhou were at loggerheads recently. "It's not safe for you to be in Hengzhou."
"It's okay. I have a way." Shen Suyuan paused and looked back at her with deep and serious eyes: "I came here today to support you."
…
Shen Suyuan did what he said and asked his men to strip the Jiang family servants of their clothes and put on their clothes, and then disguise themselves as them.
As for Shen Suyuan himself, he was wearing a human skin mask. He looked ordinary, but his narrow and long phoenix eyes were still captivating.
The group of people pretended to be servants of the Jiang family and drove the Jiang family's carriage towards Hengzhou.
However, the carriage was stopped at the Hengzhou checkpoint.
Guard routine check: "Who is in the car?"
The butler, who thought he was cursed, was very obedient. While wiping away his tears, he took out the Jiang family's identity card and handed it to the guard.
"The one in the carriage is our Jiang family's eldest daughter, the one who started her training at the Little Lotus Temple with her hair untied."
The Jiang family also has status in Hengzhou, and the guard has naturally heard of such a young lady.
He glanced at Cha Jiu, who was dressed as a nun, then looked at Shen Suyuan and asked, "What about this one?"
The housekeeper was puzzled: "Who is this..."
Shen Suyuan calmly took Cha Jiu's hand and said, "I am Miss Jiang's husband."
Cha Jiu couldn't help but look up at him, but happened to fall into his gaze with a mischievous smile.
The guard suddenly looked at him strangely: "Monks can also get married."
Shen Suyuan remained calm: "If it is true love, even Buddha will not stop it."
The housekeeper agreed awkwardly: "Yes, yes."
Shen Qi looked up at the sky and pursed his lips.
After all, it was the Jiang family's carriage, so the guard asked a few questions and then let it pass.
"Monks are not allowed to tell lies." Cha Jiu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, then tried to pull his hand back.
Shen Suyuan pinched her fingertips.
"I'm not a monk." He stared at the rare blush on Cha Jiu's face, smiling, "Besides, what I said wasn't all lies."
Cha Jiu raised his head suddenly, and his eyes, which used to be clear and dust-free, now contained both surprise and confusion.
She seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if she didn't know where to start or how to give advice.
…
…
There is another chapter about the Jiang family knowing the truth, which is about twenty minutes long.
