Chapter 23: Who is afraid of the statue of Tathagata Buddha?
"What, what?" Pei Muyan was shocked.
"Cousin, do you know Sun Shuxiang?"
"Yes, she's been the only maid in the Wu family since I came into the family. A month ago, she resigned, saying she was going abroad to get married. It wasn't easy for her to go to such a faraway place like Wupo to get married. I gave her a generous dowry."
Nan Chengcheng felt heartbroken when she saw her cousin was completely clueless, but she still told her everything about Sun Shuxiang's experience and fate.
Nan Chengcheng is good at judging people. She knew from her cousin's eyes that she had never loved Wu Liansheng, but only feared him.
This time, my cousin could no longer control herself and she hugged Nan Chengcheng and cried bitterly.
Xiang Mo, who was driving in the passenger seat, felt sad too and couldn't help but persuade him, "Tui! What a beast in human clothing! This man is not honest after getting married. He actually got the maid pregnant? Not only that, he even killed her! He is such a scumbag!"
"Cousin, stop crying. What beautiful woman hasn't encountered a few scumbags in her life? Let my master take care of him for you!"
Pei Muyan immediately wiped her tears in embarrassment. She had forgotten that there was a driver in front of her.
Nan Chengcheng looked at Xiang Mo and said, "Drive carefully!"
"Who is this?"
"Cousin, he's someone you can trust. He's working in a tea plantation now. He might seem out of place, but he's a decent person. We can get along."
Pei Muyan didn't say anything else.
Xiang Mo suddenly remembered something and asked, "Master, you invited the Buddha for the Zhan family today, why didn't they pay you?"
"Giving gifts and money to a Buddhist is disrespectful, and this place emphasizes perfection. After the Buddhist beads are taken out tonight, the Zhan family will come to give me the money. There's no rush.
Also, don’t call me Master. I’ll see how you perform in the future!”
Xiang Mo nodded, "I understand. When I was swindling people before, I always collected money first, hehe!"
"If you really want to learn some skills from me in the future, don't cheat me anymore. You are creating karma for yourself, which will shorten your lifespan and reduce your blessings." Nan Chengcheng was not trying to scare him.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will definitely not do it again in the future. Don't worry, Master."

When they arrived at the Nan family, the Nan couple invited Pei Muyan to the inner room.
Since the whole family was present, Pei Muyan told them everything.
It turned out that when Pei Muyan was a freshman at St. John's, she was spotted by her teacher Wu Liansheng on the first day of school.
Wu Liansheng repeatedly brought Pei Muyan to his office to hint at his feelings, but was vehemently rejected. Pei even changed her department. He continued to pester her, going to her home to ask her parents for marriage, but Pei's father sternly rejected him.
Wu Liansheng was unscrupulous and set a trap to get Pei Muyan's father addicted to opium and gambling. Pei's father accidentally fell into the trap and owed a huge debt, and he committed suicide with his wife.
After his escape, he disguised himself as a savior and appeared in front of the Nan family and paid off the Pei family's debts.
The Nan couple thought he was a good man who loved Pei Muyan wholeheartedly, but they didn't know that at that time Wu Liansheng found Pei Muyan and said that half of her parents' ashes were in his hands.
If Pei Muyan didn't marry him, he would ask an unorthodox expert to use her ashes to make her parents suffer eternal damnation.
He said that as long as Pei Muyan had been married to him for thirty years, he would return the ashes to her so that her parents could be buried there.
Pei Muyan was weak and introverted by nature, so she agreed without telling anyone.
On the wedding night, when Wu Liansheng was about to exercise his rights and obligations as a husband, he suddenly became ill.
Time and time again, these three times, Wu Liansheng and Pei Muyan had a sexless marriage, so Wu Liansheng would beat Pei Muyan.
He consulted many doctors, but to no avail. Whenever he tried to reach out and hug her or kiss her, he would immediately become weak all over and even vomit.
After hearing this, Xu Yun burst into tears and hugged Pei Muyan tightly in her arms, "My Yanyan! Auntie is sorry for you and your mother!
I didn't even notice you were suffering."
Pei Muyan couldn't cry anymore at this moment. "Aunt, I deliberately hid it from you every time I came. I don't blame you."
"My child, why didn't you tell your uncle earlier? I would have risked my life to pull you out of the fire pit." Nan Yuanzhong couldn't help but tear up.
