Chapter 188: Family Relocation (Part 1)
The curtain of the carriage was swaying under the push of his head, making the hearts of those around him go up and down.
What a powerful method!
If this goes on, will the master ever be able to escape from the dark world?
Wu Xun widened his eyes, and intuitively felt that it was no surprise that something out of the ordinary happened today!
Fu Yi clenched his fists. He should have been tired of this repetition.
But he just raised his eyelids and asked, "What?"
Cheng Nianying poked her head out and asked, "What's in the Hanging Temple? Why is it safer there than in Heqing?"
She can be very troublesome.
But he didn't ask such an insignificant question.
Fu Yi stretched out his hand: "Come closer and I'll tell you."
Then you have to say something that cannot be known to outsiders.
Cheng Nianying got back into the carriage.
Pei Jia, who was not far away, had his mouth corners drooping again and again. Why did he keep going in and out?
"I'm there..." In the carriage, Fu Yi lowered his head, spoke in a hoarse voice, and bit Cheng Nianying's ear.
Cheng Nianying widened her eyes and quickly turned away.
Fu Yi's bite turned into a gentle kiss, landing right on her chin.
“…”
Cheng Nianying thought for a moment, then asked, "What did you say? I couldn't hear the second half of your sentence."
Fu Yi chuckled: "Are you still afraid of monks now?"
"Um, no."
"That's good. There's a great monk in the Hanging Temple. The emperor reveres him and has made the Hanging Temple the Imperial Temple. If those who are chasing you dare to go there, they will be killed."
"High monk?"
"Why, when you heard it was a high monk, you felt scared again?"
Cheng Nianying pursed her lips lightly.
Seeing this, Fu Yi wanted to hold her in his arms for some reason, and only when he pinched her face did he feel relieved.
He swallowed the lust in his throat and said seriously, "The Transmission of the Lamp Records records that a butcher like him, Guang'e, cast aside his sword and attained the state of Arhat."
"You have done so many good things. Even if Sakyamuni Buddha were in front of you, you would be open and at ease."
"On the contrary, those who came to hunt you down, I wonder how frightened they must be when they looked up at the Buddha."
Cheng Nianying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she responded, "Yeah!"
He shrank his head and left.
Fu Yi sat quietly for a while, and did not wait for the curtain to be lifted up by his head.
This time he really left.
He was left standing there, his heart agitated and distracted, unable to tell whether it was sweet or sour, or whether the world in his heart was bright or dark.
Wu Xun was two steps late when he returned to the carriage, still in a daze. Nothing had happened?
"Go after her and get her one of my cloaks." Fu Yi paused, "And get her a hand warmer. It's a little late anyway, so there's no rush."

"He's back! The young master is back!" The front of Pei's house finally became lively.
After a while, the masters and mistresses of several rooms all came out, and Pei Yuanwei and his wife were left behind.
"The county magistrate sent someone to deliver the message a long time ago, why did he take so long to come back?" The eldest master walked in front with a frown on his face.
Pei Jia walked in front, supported by a servant, and said vaguely: "Well, Miss Jiang and I just went to the city gate to see someone off..."
"Who are you sending it to?"
Pei Jia didn't know what to say.
Pei Yuanwei continued, "This time, Prince Danshuo was assassinated and the city gates were closed, which allowed the officials to find Pei Jia early. Now that the prince is leaving the city and returning to the capital, I should see him off."
Chu Lin said urgently, "Help the young master go downstairs to bathe and change clothes first."
Pei Jia smiled wryly: "Exactly, so as not to stink you up."
The eldest lady looked at him with annoyance: "How can you care about this? You have suffered a lot." As she said that, she wiped his face with a handkerchief.
Pei Jia was taken away.
Even so, he turned back and looked at Cheng Nianying twice more, as if he was afraid that she would be questioned.
But the master didn't ask anything. He looked at Cheng Nianying and sighed, "I'm glad everything is alright. Come in."
In the crowd, Yin Ping's head was busy, anxious to confirm Cheng Nianying's safety.
The eldest master noticed his movements, turned around and nodded, saying, "Let's have a few words among ourselves. Please ask the Yin family to wait outside."
Yin Ping couldn't refuse, so he let out an "Ah" and watched as the Fourth Madam grabbed Miss Jiang's wrist and brought her into the house.
Yin Ping was stunned.
Aren’t we family members talking?
Cheng Nianying also vaguely sensed something. Sure enough, as soon as she entered the door, the eldest master said, "You will be the fourth master's daughter from now on."
These words suddenly stirred up a huge storm.
"What?"
"What do you mean, brother?"
The eldest master didn't bother to look at the others' expressions. He simply said, "If you wish today, you can call me uncle. This is your second uncle, your third uncle, your father, your mother... these are all your brothers and sisters."
Pei Yuanwei did not lie.
He had indeed told the people in Pei Mansion.
Unlike Chu Zhen's prevarication and delay in the past, they will give her a legitimate identity in just a few days.
Cheng Nianying raised her head: "Uncle."
With this beginning, she called out again and again. When she arrived in front of Chu Lin, she could no longer hold back her tears. It was Pei Yuanwei who raised his hand to cover her face so that she would not lose her composure.
"Xiao He has been frightened these days, and Pei Jia has suffered a lot. You can have dinner in your own room tonight. Let the brothers and sisters comfort them together tomorrow." The eldest master said.
Chu Lin was naturally even happier. She took Cheng Nianying's hand and went to the fourth room.
I couldn't help laughing along the way and said, "You see, we can handle this."
Cheng Nianying lowered her head and slowly held Chu Lin's hand.
Chu Lin took a deep breath and held her tighter.
When we returned to the yard, Pei Jia had also come out of the shower. There were some scratches on his face, but fortunately it did not affect his handsome appearance.
Seeing that his brother didn't need to care so much, he simply sat next to Cheng Nianying and picked up some food for her.
"Eat slowly. If you don't eat for a few days, you'll vomit if you eat too much."
Pei Jia laughed when he heard that: "You're still thinking about taking care of me."
The Chu Lin couple had given it more thought. To be able to say such things, they must have had personal experience in the past.
Chu Lin took the chopsticks and picked up some food for Cheng Nianying.
Pei Yuanwei was a reserved person, but he couldn't resist his wife's lead and joined the feeding.
Pei Jia didn't feel left out at all, and watched Cheng Nianying eat with relish until her cheeks were bulging.
The moon is rising high in the sky, and the courtyard is peaceful.
Chu Lin smiled slightly and said, "It would be great if it could stay this way forever."
Cheng Nianying and Pei Yuanwei looked at each other.
Those hideous, bloody things, those secrets... they will hide them well.
"Yeah, it will always be fine." Cheng Nianying responded softly.
The next day, Yin Ping was in front of Cheng Nianying and asked her anxiously if she was still going to Yuzhou.
Pei Yuanwei walked in and said, "Your uncle wants to move your name into the family tree."
Yin Ping was horrified when he heard this and stammered, "Miss Jiang, is you going to marry into the Pei Mansion?"
"No." Cheng Nianying looked at him strangely.
She then looked at Pei Yuanwei: "No need."
"Why..." Pei Yuanwei paused, "Is it because of the concerns you mentioned that day?"
Cheng Nianying nodded and said, "Father and Mother, come with me to the Hanging Temple."
She still couldn't let go.
Perhaps she had brought danger here from the moment she stepped into Heqing.
In that case, why not go to the Hanging Temple together?
She thought of how the eldest lady had scolded Pei Jia when he returned home and wiped his face. She also thought of the perfume and ointment that the ninth girl had given her, and how the eldest master had asked her to be included in the family tree today...
It's hard to choose.
Cheng Nianying said, "Uncles and aunts, let's all go to the Hanging Temple!"
Pei Yuanwei asked again: "Is the problem troubling you so difficult?"
Cheng Nianying nodded.
Pei Yuanwei did not hesitate. He said, "I'll go talk to your uncle about this."
Pei Yuanwei left not long after he arrived.
He went to his brother's study and mentioned the matter in general. He simply said, "The fourth room might have offended someone outside. It would be better for them to stay away."
The master thought about Pei Jia's abduction and said thoughtfully, "That's fine, but why not go to Yusong Temple, where Pei Jia had worshipped before?"
"The Hanging Temple is also the Imperial Temple. We can't get in."
