Chapter 347 There is a problem with the tea

Lu Kuan and Tong Nanyi’s new house was finalized, and Lu Lingyun received the house deed and land title deeds on the same day.

After she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Tong Nanxia said that she would come again in a few days when the Lu family prepared the betrothal gifts.

After seeing Tong Nanxia off, the first thing Lu Lingjun asked after returning home was Cheng Yunshuo.

"Has the prince not returned yet?"

"No." said the servant.

Hearing that Cheng Yunshuo had not returned yet, Lu Lingjun couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

This is strange. She asked Cheng Yunshuo for a day off today, and he didn't go to the palace to work, so why hasn't he returned home yet?

"Go to the Du family and ask, is the prince still at the Du family today?"

"yes."

If Cheng Yunshuo hadn't come back, she wouldn't have been able to reveal the truth about Li Bixi poisoning him.

It won't take long.

The servant came back and reported.

Cheng Yunshuo was not at the Du family today. He went to Guangji Temple outside the city.

Lu Lingyun was stunned again when she heard that Cheng Yunshuo went to the temple.

What is Cheng Yunshuo doing?

How did you get to the temple?

After Cheng Yunshuo woke up at Du's house today, he was at a loss again and didn't know where to go because Lu Lingyun had asked for leave for him.

Go back to the mansion? That's boring.

Going out for a walk? No fun either.

When his mind was empty, Cheng Yunshuo heard Du Tai tell him that he had bumped into a monk yesterday. He simply got up and went to the temple outside the city to find the old monk and apologize to him.

He went to the temple.

After arriving at the temple, he listened to the chanting and the sound of wooden fish in the hall, and his empty and lost mood suddenly calmed down.

As the incense burned, the evening drum and the morning bell rang, devout men and women came and went, Cheng Yunshuo finally felt a long-lost sense of security.

At this time he saw Master Yuanqing.

"Donor, you are here." When the old monk Yuanqing saw Cheng Yunshuo, he smiled like an orchid blooming in a valley.

"Master, are you Yuanqing?"

"This old monk is Amitabha."

"Master Yuanqing, I'm sorry for offending you yesterday."

"It's okay. Meeting each other is destiny. Buddha said everything is cause and effect. Amitabha." The old monk was as steady as a mountain. He spoke slowly and calmly, which only made Cheng Yunshuo feel more at peace.

Cheng Yunshuo nodded at him and asked Qingfeng to donate some incense. When he was about to leave, the old monk spoke again.

"Donor, our meeting is predestined. I see you are troubled, so why not speak it out?"

That night, Cheng Yunshuo stayed in Guangji Temple.

He and Master Yuanqing hit it off right away, and he was so enlightened by the Buddhist words he spoke that he forgot everything else.

Not only did he stay overnight at Guangji Temple to discuss the Dharma with Master Yuanqing, but the next day he went to the palace to work during the day, and when he returned at night he went straight to a mountain temple outside the city to stay overnight.

This went on for seven or eight days.

The fact that Cheng Yunshuo did not return home every day soon alarmed all the women in the mansion except Qin.

Since Cheng Yunshuo rarely visited his mother, Lu Lingjun did not ask anyone to tell Qin about Cheng Yunshuo's recent strange behavior.

The other women in the Marquis's Mansion were all very strange.

You have a good home but you don't want to go back. You would rather live in a temple than come back. What are you doing?

If he were to hang out in brothels, people would roll their eyes and think it was understandable, but what fun would that be in a temple full of monks?

Why did he go there?

The degree of this weirdness is probably as puzzling as those middle-aged old men in later generations who would rather go out fishing all night than go home.

Lu Lingyun was also surprised when she heard that Cheng Yunshuo lived in the temple every day and slept overnight with monks to preach.

But she was not that anxious. She asked Qingfeng to continue watching and inform her as soon as Cheng Yunshuo came back.

After all, it made no difference to her whether Cheng Yunshuo was in this mansion or not.

She didn't care.

But Lu Lingyun remained calm and composed, while Li Bixi in another courtyard was extremely anxious.

Ever since Cheng Yunshuo took the tea from her courtyard that day, he has never returned home.

She had originally thought that she would be able to meet Cheng Yunshuo soon and ask him for tea.

After all, he said he took it to the palace to drink. What if someone noticed something?

But as she waited in the courtyard, she found out that Cheng Yunshuo was sleeping outside the temple every night. When she knew this, she was dumbfounded.

She doesn't understand at all!

I have no idea what Cheng Yunshuo is doing!

She immediately thought that Cheng Yunshuo had a mistress and a new woman.

She took out her daughter's expensive jewelry to reward the servants and asked them to find out the true situation of Cheng Yunshuo, because she had used up all her own silver and jewelry to buy medicine.

But the news that the servants brought back was that Cheng Yunshuo was indeed staying in a mountain temple outside the city.

Li Bixiang was not giving up and kept asking about the monk who talked about scriptures and Taoism with Cheng Yunshuo every day. Could it be that he was a young and handsome monk who aroused Cheng Yunshuo's sexual desire?

Soon the servant replied to her that it was an old monk with chicken skin and white beard, and he was a very famous and accomplished monk.

That eminent monk often went out to preach and save people, and he was quite famous.

After hearing this, Li Bixi fell into complete silence. For a long time, she thought that Cheng Yunshuo must have been brainwashed by that old bald donkey.

She paced back and forth anxiously in Bishuiyuan, and finally took out all the valuable things in Cheng Lanying's room, bribed Qingfeng's best servant, and asked Qingfeng to invite Cheng Yunshuo back.

She had just spread the news when Lu Lingyun learned about Li Bixiang's actions from Qingfeng.

After knowing that Li Bijie took the initiative to invite Cheng Yunshuo back, Lu Lingjun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This Li Bixi is really trying to make trouble for herself.

Cheng Yunshuo went to the temple and didn't come back home, which delayed her plan to expose Li Bixi's tea affairs, and she even took the initiative to invite Cheng Yunshuo back.

In this case, Lu Lingyun helped her.

She asked Qingfeng to pass on a message, asking Cheng Yunshuo to come back home today.

That day, after Cheng Yunshuo came out of the palace, he did not go to the temple again, but returned to the marquis's mansion.

As soon as he entered the Marquis's Mansion, a voice came from behind him.

"Big deal! Let me go meet your young mistress!"

Cheng Yunshuo heard a male voice coming to see Lu Lingyun and stopped curiously, "Who are you?"

The man was dressed as a servant, wearing coarse cloth. He looked at Cheng Yunshuo, who was dressed in bright clothes, and said, "I am from the Tong family. I am here on the orders of the mistress of the master's family to ask to see the wife of the Ningyang Marquis' son!"

"Oh." Hearing the words "Tong family", Cheng Yunshuo nodded, "Come in with me."

"Yes, thank you, sir!" The servant walked to Cheng Yunshuo very cleverly.

"You just kept talking about big things at the door. What big thing is going on in your family that you want to talk to Lingyun about?" Cheng Yunshuo asked casually.

The servant glanced at Cheng Yunshuo nervously, "Last time, our grandmother held a tea party, and the Crown Prince's wife sent some tea..."

Cheng Yunshuo's eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew about this. "What about the tea?"

"Master, there's something wrong with the tea!"
