Chapter 38 I'll Wait for You Tonight
Zhao Jue's eyes were gentle: "I'll wait for you tonight."
Shen Qingtan is on the opposite side of him, which is a huge hidden danger to him.
It doesn't matter whether she really can't forget her old feelings for him and is deliberately playing both sides, or whether she has other calculations.
As long as she goes to the appointment tonight and he gets her body, she will be completely devoted to him.
Shen Qingtan nodded: "Yeah."
After getting the answer he wanted, Zhao Jue left satisfied.
Shen Mingzhu hid in the corner, and Zhao Jue's cheerful look stung her eyes.
When he left the dormitory, she followed him secretly.
Sure enough, he came to see Shen Qingtan.
Shen Mingzhu was afraid of being discovered, so she stayed some distance away from Zhao Jue and Shen Qingtan. They deliberately lowered their voices so that she could not hear their conversation.
One could only tell from Zhao Jue's expression that he was in a good mood.
Shen Mingzhu looked at Shen Qingtan with gloomy eyes, retreated into the shadows and left along the path.
The moment Shen Qingtan closed the window, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the place where Shen Mingzhu was hiding. At this moment, it was empty, with only a breeze blowing a dead leaf to the ground.
——
The monks of Hualing Temple do not eat after noon, and the same goes for pilgrims who come to worship Buddha and pray for blessings.
At the end of the evening class at the time of Shen, Shen Qingtan went to the main hall and met the second wife with a sullen face at the door.
"Niece-in-law, what are you doing here?" The Second Madam frowned. "Don't lie before the Buddha. Since I promised to pray for you, I won't break my promise."
Shen Qingtan said solemnly, "I just came to remind Second Aunt that you must be sincere when you worship Buddha and not harbor evil intentions. Otherwise, you will be blaspheming the Buddha and will suffer backlash."
The Second Lady wanted to ask the Buddha to take away the bitch Shen Qingtan, and she had no intention of praying for them sincerely at all.
After Shen Qingtan said this, the second wife felt uneasy.
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to offend the Buddha."
The second lady gave Shen Qingtan a look, took the lead in entering the hall, and found a seat in a corner.
Shen Qingtan deliberately came to the seat next to the second lady.
The second wife gritted her teeth, not daring to act rashly in front of the Buddha.
"Second Aunt, evening classes are one hour long, followed by another half hour of meditation."
Shen Qingtan kindly reminded him, "The court doctor said you have depression and anger in your chest. Worshiping Buddha and reciting scriptures can help you cultivate your body and mind. If you don't care about material things, you will recover without taking any medicine."
How to be indifferent?
That’s ninety thousand taels of silver!
The second wife felt chest tightness and tinnitus due to the stimulation, and felt that her illness was even more serious.
When she saw Shen Qingtan in the Mountain Gate Hall today, her mood suddenly became bad and she didn't even have vegetarian food at noon.
She planned to attend evening classes after dinner, but the old lady said that since she had entered Buddhism, she had to abide by Buddhist rules.
Buddhist disciples only eat one meal a day at noon, so she has to wait until noon the next day to eat.
Dozens of monks were chanting scriptures in the hall, and the sound of Sanskrit chanting was lingering in the air, but the second wife's heart was unable to calm down.
Especially since there was no oil in my stomach and I was getting hungrier and hungrier, the burning feeling was even more irritating.
Every moment was torture for her.
I feel very uncomfortable.
After the evening class was over, the second wife was finally relieved. She stood up, but her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
Shen Qingtan helped her up and said, "Second Aunt, let's go to the meditation room and meditate."
The Second Madam was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back: "I..."
"I noticed just now that the scriptures you recited were not correct. Let's meditate for another half an hour and I will teach you how to recite the scriptures." Shen Qingtan helped her to the meditation room.
The Second Madam grabbed Shen Qingtan's arm and said, "My niece, I'm not feeling well today. Can we meditate another day... tomorrow?"
Shen Qingtan put away her smile and said, "Second Aunt, don't you sincerely wish me and my husband a long and happy life together?"
The Second Madam forced a smile and said, "I haven't fully recovered from my illness yet. I've been traveling so hard today that I can't stand it any longer."
Shen Qingtan looked concerned: "Since you are not feeling well, you don't need to pray for us. Go back home to recuperate tomorrow morning. I will report to my grandmother, and she will understand."
She brought out the image of the old lady, a giant Buddha. The second lady couldn't smile anymore and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Go! I'll go!"
"Your body..."
"I'm fine!"
"Okay then." Shen Qingtan warned: "Don't be stubborn. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
The second wife was so angry that she was shaking all over and wished she could tear Shen Qingtan's mouth apart.
The group went to the Zen room.
Shen Qingtan urged the second lady to recite scriptures in the Zen room until the end of the Xu hour, when she stopped.
The second wife slumped weakly in the chair and drank several glasses of water, but she was still so hungry that she didn't even have the energy to lose her temper.
Shen Qingtan was refreshed: "Second Aunt, you are not feeling well. I will send someone to ask my third sister-in-law to come and serve you."
The Second Madam really didn't want to move and acquiesced to Shen Qingtan's arrangement.
Shen Qingtan walked out of the Zen room and told Qiu Chan who was waiting at the door: "Go and invite Third Grandma over."
Qiu Chan tightened her fingers, lowered her eyebrows and said, "I will go now."
"Wait." Shen Qingtan called Qiuchan, took the cloak from Liuyue and covered Qiuchan's shoulders: "It's cold in the mountains at night, don't catch a cold."
Qiu Chan lowered her eyes to look at the pink and navy blue cloak on her shoulders, and reached out to grab the two ties at the collar: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."
Liu Yue looked at Qiu Chan's departing back, and always felt that the master was deliberately making trouble for the Second Madam, waiting for this moment.
But why did the master make trouble for the second lady for no reason?
Liu Yue couldn't figure out the reason, so she thought that the master was deliberately torturing the second lady.
She held a lantern in her hand, blocking the wind: "Second Madam, it's cold at night, and you're wearing thin clothes. Go back to the dormitory quickly."
Shen Qingtan smiled and said, "Let's go."
Returning to the dormitory, Shen Qingtan saw a dim yellow light coming through the window: "Was there an oil lamp on in the room when you left?"
"No." Liu Yue's heart rose to her throat: "I will go and take a look."
Shen Qingtan thought that the dormitory was looked after by the monk Yuan, so there should be no bad people.
If there was a bad guy hiding in the room, he would not light the lamp so blatantly.
She suspected that the old lady was in the room.
Liu Yue's heart was pounding when she saw Shen Qingtan following behind her: "Second Madam, please stay away. If there are any bad guys, run away quickly..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Qingtan pushed open the door.
Liu Yue was about to scream, but when she saw the people in the room, she shut her mouth.
There was a crack in the temporal joint and my jaw was about to dislocate.
"Second...Second Master..."
Shen Qingtan looked at the man in the room in surprise. He was wearing a jade-colored robe and standing tall beside the scripture table, flipping through a scroll of scriptures she had copied today.
He heard the noise and turned his head to look over. Seeing the person standing stupidly at the door, he said with a smile on his lips, "Mother said you came to Hualing Temple to pray for blessings, so I came to take a look."
"oh."
Shen Qingtan responded calmly, and then her face changed as if she had thought of something. She hurried to the scripture table and reached out to take the scripture.
A pale, slender hand pressed on the scripture. Shen Qingtan tried to pull it back but didn't move. He was afraid of damaging it, so he didn't dare to use force.
"Second Master... please let go of my hand."
"I've finished reading it."
Zhao Yi's eyes fell on the "Medicine Master Sutra" she copied. This scripture prayed for health and longevity.
Shen Qingtan looked at him in astonishment, as if he didn't expect that such a graceful man would be so embarrassing at this moment.
Zhao Yi chuckled and said, "The handwriting is very good."
Shen Qingtan moved his lips: Just like that?
Zhao Yi coughed lightly a few times and was about to speak.
“Knock knock.”
Mother Wei knocked on the door and said loudly, "Second Master, the old lady wants you to come over."
Shen Qingtan urged, "Don't keep grandma waiting for too long. Go quickly."
Zhao Yi sighed helplessly and put away the scroll of scriptures: "If you don't believe that the calligraphy is good, I will take it to my grandmother for evaluation."
Shen Qingtan: “!!!”
Did she say she didn't believe it?
She is...
"Madam, your sincere heart makes me very happy."
“…”
Shen Qingtan silently withdrew the two fingers that were resting on the scripture.
The man asked, "Madam, do you want to hear this?"
Shen Qingtan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and glared at him in embarrassment.
This man is deliberately teasing her again!
Zhao Yi looked at her lively eyes and eyebrows, smiled happily, put the scripture back in her hand, and left with Mother Wei.
Liu Yue smiled and said, "Second Madam, you haven't been this lively for a long time since you got married. Only in front of the Second Master do you show the innocent and naive look you had in your boudoir."
"Shut up."
Shen Qingtan looked at Zhao Yi's back angrily.
He is really gentle and considerate.
It’s true that he can make people angry!
At this time, Qiu Chan came back.
She quickly glanced at Zhao Yi's back a few times before entering the dormitory, holding the cloak and saying, "Second Madam, I'll take it and clean it, and then return it to you."
"No need, I'll give it to you as a reward."
"Second Madam, the green color of your cloak sets me off; I don't look good with pink."
Shen Qingtan hummed, and instructed Liu Yue, who was trying to hold back her laughter, "Second Master is coming to Hualing Temple today, and I can't get away to keep the appointment. Please tell my old friend that we can meet again another day."
Qiu Chan's eyelashes trembled, and she hugged her cloak tightly: "Second Madam, Sister Liu Yue will stay and serve you, and I will go to run errands."
