Chapter 369 The Children Come to Persuade

The next day, Cheng Binghao, Cheng Bingan, Cheng Suying and Cheng Lanying all came to Guangji Temple.

Except for Cheng Bingzhi who had just been beaten and was lying at home.

Cheng Binghao and Cheng Bingan hurried back from Tianfu Academy after receiving a notice from Lu Lingyun.

All four children stood in front of Cheng Yunshuo.

"father?"

When Cheng Bing'an and Cheng Binghao saw Cheng Yunshuo with a shaved head, they were shocked and puzzled, so they tentatively called him "Dad".

Cheng Yunshuo saw his four children, his eyes remained calm, "Four little donors, Amitabha."

Cheng Bingan: "......"

Cheng Binghao: “…”

Cheng Suying: “…”

Cheng Lanying: “…”

"Dad, why do you want to become a monk? Grandma, Mom and everyone in the mansion need you," Cheng Binghao was the first to speak. He frowned, puzzled and angry, "Why did you abandon your whole family to run after your Buddha? Did the Buddha give birth to you and raise you? Did you give birth to the Buddha and need him to take care of you?"

Listening to his son's question, Cheng Yunshuo remained calm, "Buddha is merciful and kind to the world. I was also guided by him to find the truth and the great way."

"Your truth and great path is that when the whole family wanted you, you abandoned the whole family and walked away! Dad, you are causing everyone to be in trouble because of you!"

"Amitabha," Cheng Yunshuo closed his eyes, "the world is full of troubles, and all the troubles are self-inflicted."

Cheng Binghao: “…”

"Dad," Cheng Bing'an said at this time, "I think you must have your own reasons. You are the father and we are the children. We cannot make irresponsible remarks about your affairs, but can you become a monk after some time? Grandma was mad at you yesterday and she became ill. Grandpa's body has not yet been returned to Beijing. We cannot live without you at this time."

Cheng Bingan persuaded in a roundabout way.

After hearing what Cheng Bing'an said, Cheng Yunshuo's eyes remained calm. "An'er, you are the oldest. In the future, you will help your mother to support this family."

Cheng Bingan: "......"

"Dad, I'm only seven years old. If you really can't do it, wait ten years. You can become a monk when I'm seventeen."

Cheng Yunshuo raised his head and glanced at the sky. "What does ten years mean? What does a hundred years mean? They are just a moment. They are all empty. Years are eternal to me. Why do you have to cling to years?"

"Dad, since you are not concerned about age, then wait ten years before becoming a monk," said Cheng Bing'an.

Cheng Yunshuo shook his head, "I have entered the state of Buddhahood. I will not change my mind, nor will I stay for worldly things."

"father......"

"Alright, big brother, he won't listen to your advice." Cheng Binghao looked angrily at Cheng Yunshuo who was sitting with the old monk, "Let's go, it's useless no matter who says it!"

Cheng Suying then asked, "Dad, have you really thought it through?"

Cheng Yunshuo looked at his daughter in front of him and smiled, "Little donor, this is what I want. I am happy."

Hearing him say this, Cheng Suying took back all the words that were about to be said. She looked at the man in front of her for a long time and said, "Forget it. It's up to you."

Cheng Yunshuo's smile was now even bigger and warmer. He nodded at her and extended his hand to bless her, "I will recite sutras for you and wish you good luck and safety."

Cheng Suying: “…”

"Let's go, let's go." Cheng Binghao was so angry at his father that he had nothing to say. He held his elder brother Cheng Bingan with one hand and his younger sister Cheng Suying with the other and left.

He no longer cares about this irresponsible father.

He does whatever he likes.

He will be the one to protect this mansion in the future. He is a boy, and with him around, he will definitely not let anyone bully his mother, brothers and sisters.

After Cheng Binghao forcibly took the two people away, Cheng Lanying was left standing there.

Cheng Lanying didn't say a word the whole time. She kept biting her lower lip and looked at her beloved father with complicated eyes.

Her feelings for Cheng Yunshuo were the most complex and intense among all the children.

She stood there for a long time, and finally asked, "Dad, do you like Siying more or me?"

Yes, she didn't care whether Cheng Yunshuo became a monk or not, nor did she care about the impact his becoming a monk would have on the entire Marquis' Mansion.

She only cares about who Cheng Yunshuo likes more in his heart.

Cheng Yunshuo looked at his daughter in front of him. Li Bixi looked a lot like Xing Dairong, but the daughter she gave birth to didn't look much like her mother.

She is more like him.

Cheng Yunshuo looked at her and said calmly, "Greed, anger, delusion, love, evil, and desire, everything is empty. Little donor, I have a message for you, just follow your heart and live happily."

Cheng Lanying: “….”

What does her father mean by this...

Just be happy.

Just tell her to pretend that you liked her and were happy with her, right?

Cheng Lanying covered her face and walked away from him.

The next day, the four children came together to persuade Cheng Yunshuo not to become a monk, but all failed.

That night, Lu Lingyun sat in the temple's chamber, surrounded by maids and servants.

Nanny Wan sent all four children back to the Marquis' Mansion. They refused to persuade her and just told them to go back first and look after Qin.

Shuanghong looked at Lu Lingyun worriedly, "Madam, the young master and the young lady have failed to persuade the prince, what should we do?"

All the living people in the mansion who could persuade him have tried, but Cheng Yunshuo refused to listen. What should we do?

Lu Lingyun pinched her brows with one hand. After a few breaths, she raised her head and asked, "Cheng Qi's team will arrive in Beijing tomorrow, right?"

"Yes!" Shuanghong nodded.

As Cheng Qi returned triumphantly, they were getting closer and closer. The letters from the scout station were delivered very quickly, and now they were only a few dozen miles away.

Lu Lingyun raised his eyes, his eyes darkened, "Send someone to inform Master Cheng, and ask him to send the old marquis's body to Guangji Temple tomorrow!"

If the living cannot persuade you, the dead will come to persuade you.

Anyone who can come to persuade should do so.

She won't give up until the last moment.

The next day.

The mighty army returned in triumph.

Before entering the city gate, the old marquis's body was first sent to Guangji Temple.

"Master, the old marquis is here." Qingfeng was outside the chamber, urging the inside, "Please come out and take a look! I beg you!"

Cheng Yunshuo simply disappeared today.

After hearing that the old marquis's body was sent to Guangji Temple, he locked himself in the room and chanted sutras.
