Chapter 195: Message
Cheng Nianying had anticipated that the young monk would come back to see her. She had taken the relic from the cat's neck, and the young monk had made a wasted trip, so he would definitely come back.
She wanted to test Commander Jiang and wanted to follow him to take a look, but she didn't know if there was a quagmire waiting for her here, so she could only think of this method to ensure that the other party could not trap her.
After leaving Magnolia Hall, Cheng Nianying stopped at the intersection.
The young monk was surprised: "Donor?"
"Wait for two people."
Now that the relic is with someone else, and with Fu Yi's reputation as an influence, the little monk has no choice but to wait with her.
After a while, Pei Jia and the other man came hurriedly.
"We followed her to the Buddhist temple first, and you disappeared as soon as we turned around." Pei Jia looked her up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine.
The young monk couldn't help but interrupt: "The female donor wants to go with me to see the abbot."
Pei Jia was naturally not on guard against monks, so he didn't find the sound strange. He nodded and said, "Then you go."
Cheng Nianying responded with "yes" and followed the little monk.
Pei Jia stayed there for a while before reacting: "She waited for us here specially? Just to avoid worrying us?"
"Obviously."
Pei Jia was so moved that he clenched his fists and turned around several steps before calming down his momentary excitement.
"My sister doesn't talk much, that doesn't matter!"
Pei Yi: "Yeah."
Unlike his brother, he couldn't stand such outward displays of emotion. He immediately changed the subject: "She's been quite relaxed during the time she's been away."
"Is this true?"
"Wait until she comes back."
At that time, Cheng Nianying stood in front of the abbot, stretched out his hand and pulled out the relic from his neck.
The abbot closed his eyes unconsciously, and when he opened them again, all he saw was the glittering light of the butterfly shells.
"Yes, that relic is good. Thank you for placing it properly."
Cheng Nianying nodded silently.
The abbot sighed secretly, thinking that the most troublesome thing was that he didn't ask for anything.
He had no choice but to take the initiative and suggest: "If you have time, please come to the Buddhist temple every day to listen to the sutras together. The Buddhist temple is quiet and I think it will save you from worries."
He was implying something and speaking in a tactful tone.
Cheng Nianying responded: "Okay."
But he immediately asked directly, "Yesterday the abbot said that the gentleman was responsible for the protection. Who did he come with?"
The abbot choked and asked her helplessly, "Do you want to file a complaint against him with the noble?"
The abbot said, "I can't say it, and I shouldn't say it."
But that pretty much says it all.
What kind of people cannot and should not speak?
Cheng Nianying walked out and suddenly stopped.
--emperor?
Fu Yi once said that the only thing that cannot be spied on is the emperor's whereabouts.
If that's the case...was the assassin from Shaoqu Tower employed by Commander Jiang? Or was he employed by the Emperor?
Does the emperor know about Commander Jiang’s activities?
Cheng Nianying returned to Qingcaotang.
Pei Jia and Pei Yi were both waiting for her. When they saw her, Pei Jia couldn't help but feel distressed: "Why do you look so bad again?"
"The one who spoke to me today is the commander of the Divine Guard Army." Cheng Nianying said straight to the point.
"Jiang Shenyuan?" Pei Yi asked.
"Well, it's him, right? I don't know his name, I only know his last name is Jiang."
"Then it's most likely him." Pei Yi couldn't figure it out. "Why is he giving you a hard time?"
Cheng Nianying lowered her eyes: "I was raised by his father."
Pei Jia frowned: "Even so, it's not like the Pei Mansion can't give them money. They can just thank them. Why send people to hunt them down?"
"How can there be so many people who do good deeds? Since he raised you, he wants to use you to his heart's content. That's why he is dissatisfied with you leaving him." Pei Yi seemed to know a lot.
But none of that matters right now.
Cheng Nianying whispered, "He's in the temple and will definitely keep an eye on me. But I need to send a message."
"Who is the message for?"
"Prince Danshuo." Cheng Nianying pursed her lips, "It's urgent."
