Xu Lingyi also felt a little regretful. She had originally come to the temple to pray and relax, but ended up making her mother unhappy.
The next day, Xu Lingyi originally planned to find the abbot. No matter what, she had to make him change his statement, even if it was a white lie, otherwise she would worry about her mother.
She knew that Mrs. Xu had always believed in Buddhism.
But Mrs. Xu came to see her first.
"Yier, mother has visited the master again. Mother has decided that you should stay in the temple to practice Buddhism during this period of time."
Xu Lingyi was stunned. She didn't expect that her mother had gone to find the master before her, and she didn't expect that this coincided with her original plan.
She did plan to stay in Lingguang Temple, but she hadn't thought of a reason yet.
She didn't know when the emperor had sex with the peasant girl, and if she appeared in this temple too abruptly, it would easily arouse suspicion.
It’s better to come here in advance so that no one will notice.
"Mother, but what did the Master say?"
Xu Lingyi was puzzled.
Madam Xu shook her head. "The master didn't say much, but I still understood what he meant. In the future, you must practice more and be sincere to Buddhism. Staying in Lingguang Temple to practice, there may be a glimmer of hope. So, mother has decided to let you stay in Lingguang Temple for at least six months. Although you can't go home during this time, mother and your sisters-in-law will visit you regularly. If you miss us, we will come too."
Xu Lingyi was stunned. All this seemed too logical.
She was just planning, but her mother actually arranged it for her.
Mrs. Xu was worried that her daughter would not be able to adapt to the living situation, so she made preparations in advance.
"There are wing rooms at the back of the temple, which are specially used for reception. Mother will leave guards here, and more will be sent tomorrow. My son, please stay here peacefully. I will also find someone to repair the wing rooms."
Mrs. Xu thought of every aspect. She was reluctant to let her daughter live outside, but she heard that many people came to Lingguang Temple to practice, including dignitaries and ordinary people, all living in a row of houses behind the temple.
I get up early every day to practice.
"I donated three thousand taels and booked a room just for you. It's a little further away from the other houses, and with the guards, nothing will happen. Mother heard that the youngest daughter of the Taifu family is in Lingguang Temple. She has been praying for her grandmother for over two months, and her grandmother's health has indeed improved."
It seemed that Mrs. Xu had made inquiries in the temple. Xu Lingyi felt that in just one night, her mother seemed to have more faith in Lingguang Temple.
"But she's leaving in half a month. If you're bored, you can go see her during this time. Your third sister-in-law also wanted to stay in the temple with you, but after thinking it over, I decided not to. She's not the type to sit still. Cultivation requires sincerity. She's useless here, and might even disturb you."
"It's only two hours from here to Kyoto. If anything happens to my son, just send a letter and I'll send someone over."
Xu Lingyi nodded: "Okay."
Her plan was carried out by accident, and it went even more smoothly than she had imagined.
But when her mother and others left, Xu Lingyi was still very reluctant to let them go.
After her mother died in her previous life, it took her a long time to accept the reality and accept that she really had no mother.
But hatred and unwillingness tormented her all the time, and she wished she could kill Princess Minghua immediately.
Her mother gave birth to her and raised her. If she couldn't take revenge, she would rather die with her mother.
Now that she has been reborn, if possible, she wants to stay by her mother's side and be with her family forever.
But she knew it wasn't possible, she had her own things to do.
As long as she knows her mother is still alive and her family is safe, her heart is at peace.
She would write to her mother every day.
Xu Lingyi watched her sisters-in-law and mother get on the carriage, still reluctant to leave.
"Go back. It's not easy to come down. I don't want you to come down. There are so many stone stairs, and it's hard to go up."
There were too many stone steps, and originally Xu's mother and the others didn't want Xu Lingyi to come down to see them off, but Xu Lingyi insisted.
"You must practice diligently here, understand?" Madam Xu urged. "Your sisters-in-law and I will pray for you at home. We only pray for our son's safety and well-being, not for great wealth and honor. We just hope that this disaster will be resolved quickly."
Their Xu family is already powerful enough.
"I will mother, don't worry about me."
"I'll come to see you in a few days. If you miss me, please write to me or ask your guard to tell me."
The third sister-in-law got on the carriage, but she couldn't help but lift the curtain and carefully instructed Xu Lingyi.
Now that her sister-in-law is gone, this home becomes much more boring for her.
When she sees her elder sister-in-law, she feels like she is seeing another mother-in-law.
As for her second sister-in-law, she didn't like her very much.
"I will."
Xu Lingyi stayed in the temple like this, and not far away from her lived the young lady of the Taifu family.
After the two talked, they found that they had similar personalities.
Miss Wang had a gentle personality and always spoke softly. She stayed with Xu Lingyi for more than half a month and was about to go home.
"I received a letter from home saying that my grandmother's health had indeed improved, so my mother asked me to go home and that they would take care of me after a while."
"Then I wish you can find your ideal husband and live in harmony with him."
Miss Wang smiled shyly. She really longed to have a perfect husband.
"Actually, it was my mother who led the initiative to come here to practice and pray for my grandmother. She said that this would show that I was filial to my parents and would help my reputation. With a good reputation, I would be more approachable."
So she always felt that her heart in practicing was not sincere.
Xu Lingyi comforted her: "Let's judge by deeds, not by heart. Besides, your grandmother is indeed getting better. You don't have to think too much."
