Having accidentally encountered such an embarrassing thing, both of them felt a little uncomfortable and their faces were red.

"You do such shameless things in such a pure Buddhist place, and you are not afraid of being punished by the Buddha!" ​​After a moment, Yang couldn't help but spit in the direction of the small tree house, her face full of disgust.

Shen Xinyan touched her nose awkwardly, not knowing how to respond to her.

"That woman must not be the daughter of a decent family. She might have come from some filthy place. Only such a shameless bitch would seduce men all day long." Yang added with a sneer.

Shen Xinyan suddenly came to realize, and finally understood that she was just taking the opportunity to vent her contempt for the concubines in the third room.

Knowing this, she naturally felt it was even harder to respond. She could only listen quietly as she cursed those 'shameless bastards'.

Although she really wanted to say that in such a matter between a man and a woman, no matter what, she could not just blame the woman. If the man did not want to do it, could the woman force him? It was a pity that the world was always harsher on women, and the unbearable insults were always borne by women.

What’s even more ironic is that in most cases, the people who are harsh on women are women themselves!

"Third sister-in-law, stop talking. Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall." Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, tugged at Yang's sleeve, and reminded her in a low voice.

Yang stopped talking reluctantly, but her face still looked unhappy.

After this incident, the two were no longer in the mood to enjoy the scenery. They just sat quietly on the bench in the courtyard, waiting for the eldest princess to finish listening to the host's lecture on Buddhist scriptures so that they could return home.

"You little thief, it turns out you stole my buns, I'm going to beat you to death!" Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the door. Shen Xinyan was feeling uncomfortable sitting there, so he took the opportunity to stand up and said, "I'll go see what's going on."

After stepping out of the courtyard, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked to the east in the direction of the sound. Not far away, she saw a ragged child huddled under a stone table, desperately stuffing a bun into his mouth, while a plump woman was standing with her hands on her hips, cursing at him.

"Get out here, you little bastard! You even dared to steal my things. You must be tired of living. Come out!"

But the child ignored her and kept stuffing the buns into his mouth. Perhaps he was stuffing them in too hastily and choked them. He then punched his chest with his little fist, looking as if he hadn't eaten in eight lifetimes.

"Madam, that child is so pitiful, let's help him!" Chunliu, who had walked beside her at some point, felt sympathy when he saw this.

Shen Xinyan seemed not to hear her words. Her eyes were always fixed on the child's face. Although the little face was dirty, she still saw some familiarity in it.

In her previous life, during the second year she was trapped in the temple, her mind had become somewhat unclear. She acted mad and didn't recognize anyone except Chunliu. Sometimes, the situation was even worse, and she would even shout "Ying'er" to Chunliu.

However, she would occasionally have moments of clarity, although these moments were not frequent.

But during her few conscious moments, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the seldom visited Wei's ancestral temple - an injured strange young man.

The man's hiding place happened to be her room.

By the time she found him, she had no idea how long he had been hiding, but it was clear that he had a certain understanding of her situation. When no one else was around, he would take the initiative to talk to her, even feed her, and occasionally try to get her to talk to him.

Unfortunately, she never gave him any response. She just sat there blankly, as if she was listening to him quietly, or as if she was immersed in her own world, turning a deaf ear to everything happening in the outside world.

She remembered that he left on a dark night with heavy rain. Before he left, he whispered a promise in her ear: "Madam, I will come to pick you up after I have avenged my family. Wei Chenglin doesn't want you, but I do! I will be your son in the future and serve you till the end of your life."

However, he never showed up again until she died.

This person was actually just a passer-by in her life in her previous life. He came suddenly and left in a hurry.

When he came, she was the abandoned British lady who was trapped in the family temple and lost her mind; after he left, she was still the British lady who was in a daze, sometimes lucid and sometimes crazy.

Even now, she still doesn't know what that person's name is, where he is from, and whether he avenged his family.

When Shen Xinyan came to her senses, she found that she had walked to the side of the woman without knowing when, and was holding the child tightly in her arms, using her back to block the slaps from the woman.

There was a crisp sound of "pa", and the woman was startled at first when she saw that she had hit someone who came out of nowhere. Then, when she saw that the woman in front of her was dressed in noble clothes, her whole face turned pale.

"Madam, please forgive me. I, I..." She stuttered and wanted to say something, but Shen Xinyan interrupted her, "He took something from you, I will double the compensation, but you can't pursue it anymore, okay?"

"No, no, no, thanks. It's just a few buns, not worth anything." The woman didn't dare to ask her to pay for it, she just waved her hands and shook her head.

"I'll give you this silver. You can't pursue this child anymore!" Chunliu took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into her hand, saying as a warning.

The woman's eyes suddenly lit up.

Only a fool would not trade a few buns for a piece of silver!

"Okay, okay, I won't pursue it. Madam, you are truly the merciful Avalokitesvara. This little bastard... this child must have been very lucky in his previous life to have met such a kind-hearted madam like you!"

"Okay, go away and don't disturb my wife." Chun Liu said impatiently.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave right away..." The woman was afraid that she would regret it if she got angry, so she ran away with the silver ingot in her pocket. Her movements were so agile that they were totally disproportionate to her huge body.

Shen Xinyan ignored them and stared at the child in front of her, trying to connect him with the person who had given her a moment of warmth in the family temple in her previous life.

The child, however, had a defensive look on his face, and if she hadn't grabbed his arm, he would have slipped away on the spot.

"Chun Liu." Shen Xinyan wanted to wipe his face, but seeing this, she could only sigh and call out.

Chun Liu understood what was going on and stuffed the steamed buns with three fresh ingredients that she was going to bring back to Xiao Yingzhi into the child's hands: "Eat it!"

The child's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the food and stuffed it into his mouth with all his might, which made Shen Xinyan's heart tremble with fear. She kept saying, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, there's no rush, there's more after you finish it!"

Seeing that the child was eating anxiously, Shen Xinyan told Chunliu to pour a cup of warm water and personally held it in the cup to feed the child.

Perhaps the child felt her kindness, or was attracted by her food, for he stood there very obediently, sipping the water she fed him.

"Whose child is this? Where are your parents?" Chunliu felt sad.

What's wrong with this child's parents? How could they raise a healthy child to be so thin? Looking at this small body, I'm afraid he can't even gain weight.

What she asked was exactly what Shen Xinyan wanted to know. Seeing this, she tried to soften her voice and asked, "What's your name? Where are your parents?"

The child blinked a few times and just stared at her blankly without answering her.

"Could it be that this child can't speak?" Seeing his appearance, Chun Liu said with some concern.

No, how could he not be able to speak? If he couldn't speak, who was the person who patiently coaxed her to speak in the temple in her previous life?

"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, why are you here? Mother is calling people, it's time for us to go back home!" Yang walked over in small steps and looked at the strange child with some surprise.

"Whose child is this? Why is he so dirty? Okay, second sister-in-law, let's go. Don't keep mother waiting for too long!" She just asked casually and didn't expect to get an answer. After she finished speaking, she took Shen Xinyan's hand and was about to leave.

Shen Xinyan was pulled by her and stepped forward subconsciously. Just when she was about to ask Yang to wait for a moment, she suddenly saw the child also stepped forward with his legs apart, looking up at her with his little face, with a pitiful look as if he was afraid of being abandoned by her.

She thought for a moment and let Yang pull her forward, but her eyes were always on the child who was following closely behind her.

"Madam, why is he following us?" Chun Liu noticed the small figure following behind him and asked in a low voice.

Before Shen Xinyan could answer, Yang heard what she said, stopped and looked back, her eyebrows wrinkled: "Whose child are you? Go home quickly and don't follow us anymore!"

Seeing them stop, the child also stopped walking. He stared at Shen Xinyan, but still didn't say a word.

Just like that, when they walked, he walked; when they stopped, he stopped too.

Finally, before Yang could no longer hold back her anger, Shen Xinyan bent down, looked into the child's clear eyes, and asked softly, "Do you want to follow me?"

The child nodded vigorously.

"Your name is..."

"Second sister-in-law, you don't want to bring this child of unknown origin back home, do you?" Yang interrupted her question, her eyes full of disapproval.

Shen Xinyan ignored her and continued to ask while looking at the child: "What's your name? Where are your family members?"

"...Linfu, no."

Shen Xinyan was stunned, as if she didn't expect that he would answer her this time.

"Your name is Linfu, and there is no one at home?" she asked again cautiously.

The child nodded.

As expected. Shen Xinyan secretly sighed. Apart from the death of both parents, she really couldn't think of any other reason for such a young child to go out to find food.

"Pingfu, this is a great name!" Chunliu on the side suddenly interrupted.

Shen Xinyan smiled slightly.

Pingfu is indeed a good name, which shows how much the child's parents love them.

Pingfu, Pingfu... She silently repeated this name that she had finally gotten in her heart. As she repeated it, her mind became a little confused, as if she had heard this name somewhere before.

Where have you heard this?

She couldn't help but frown and ponder, but she couldn't find a solution, so she gave up.
