Chapter 42: Be a good shield
Yun Ji asked, "What's the reward?"
"Accompany me to Fozhuang and take a walk to get some fresh air, okay?" Su Rui pulled Yun Ji's sleeve and shook it coquettishly.
Although he knew her purpose was not that simple, Yun Ji did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
After the price was agreed upon, Su Rui immediately started working.
He took the scriptures and the copied text to the long desk next to him and copied them carefully.
Maybe she had practiced it from copying Buddhist scriptures last time, so she didn't feel so sleepy when reading them now.
Yunji's annotations are very detailed and explain the whole book very clearly. Even someone like her who has never read Buddhist scriptures before can easily understand the essence of Buddhist teachings in breaking sentient beings' obsessions and saving people.
No wonder she was asked to copy it, because they wanted her to let go of her obsession.
He is truly merciful and compassionate, saving people from suffering.
Unfortunately, Su Rui could understand it but couldn't follow it.
Buddha talked about cause and effect, but she had never done anything evil in her previous life and had no evil thoughts, yet she was slandered, tortured, humiliated, and eventually her body was destroyed. Why didn't Buddha save her?
She has a gold belt and only believes in herself even after she is reborn.
"Sir, Miss Tang Er from Prince Long's Mansion wants to see you and says she's here to get some scriptures." A voice of notification came from the lower floor of Feiyun Pavilion.
Su Rui wisely used this as a shield, picked up the sutra with the annotations copied, stood up and went downstairs.
Tang Yuli was waiting in the courtyard outside the main hall. Every time he saw someone in a monk's robe coming out from behind the hall, his eyes lit up. But when he saw that it was not Yun Ji, he quietly put his eyes away with disappointment.
"Miss, please stop disturbing this handkerchief. It will break if you continue to disturb it." The maid Liuli beside her reminded with a smile.
Tang Yuli then realized that he had unknowingly twisted the handkerchief in his hand into a single piece. Embarrassed, he quickly let go and whispered, "My hands are just empty."
"Yes, yes, our second young lady is not waiting anxiously." Liuli couldn't help laughing out loud while joking.
Tang Yuli's face flushed red with embarrassment, and she slapped her lightly in anger. "You little bitch, you're always teasing me. I'm not anxious. Mr. Yunji will definitely do what he promised. Just wait."
"Mr. Yunji will naturally keep his word, but you should still take to heart what the princess said two days ago."
Talking about what Changning said two days ago, Tang Yuli's face showed more confusion.
Two days ago, the maidservant of Zhou Yao, the second daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, came to Prince Long's Mansion and said that she wanted to see her for something. She didn't want to see her at first, but Changning happened to be in the mansion, so she summoned the person in.
He then learned that Su Rui had attacked the Fahua Temple at night and was detained by Mr. Yunji.
The maidservant kept saying that Zhou Yao was pleading for her sister, hoping that she would not blame her for this moment. Su Rui was also entrusted by the emperor and dared not neglect her duty.
But it sounds like Su Rui is shameless. She was kicked out in public and ran into the temple at night. She used her charm to make Yun Ji, who hated her, accept her again.
Chang Ning already disliked Su Rui, so she immediately scolded Su Rui as being worse than a prostitute, and repeatedly warned her not to wait in vain.
You should have more contact with Yun Ji and cultivate your relationship with him. Once he no longer has the intention of becoming a monk, you should get rid of Su Rui immediately and not let her have any place in Yun Ji's heart.
Can……
"Why her?"
Liuli's soft exclamation interrupted Tang Yuli's thoughts and he looked over in confusion.
Su Rui was seen walking out from the road behind the main hall wearing a loose monk's robe, holding a Buddhist scripture in her hand. It was the second volume of the Lotus Sutra that she had given to Yun Ji.
As Su Rui gradually approached, Tang Yuli could see her clearly.
She was not as embarrassed as she was that day on the palace road. Her hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin. Her face was not made up but was still stunningly beautiful. The lip balm she had simply applied was a little smudged, but it didn't look like it was smudged.
Like a kiss.
Could it be that she and Yun Ji were just...
When Tang Yuliguang thought of this, his cheeks flushed and he quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her.
Seeing Tang Yuli as frightened as a frightened rabbit, Su Rui was surprised. Is this Second Miss Tang so naive?
Can Prince Long’s Mansion raise little white rabbits?
She doesn't believe it.
"Second Miss Tang, you are well." Su Rui bowed to Tang Yuli.
"Why are you here? Where is Mr. Yunji?" Liuli felt sorry for her young lady and asked angrily.
Su Rui glanced at Liuli. It was true that the maids from Prince Long's mansion were more arrogant than others.
"Do you have any say over whether I come or not? May I ask if this young lady is my elder or a Buddha in this Fahua Temple?"
Liuli is five years younger than Su Rui. Calling her her elder is just a disguised way of saying she is old. She is also said to be a Buddha. There is no female Buddha in Fahua Temple. It seems that she is pretending.
"you!"
"Liuli, don't be rude!" Tang Yuli hurriedly stopped Liuli and turned to apologize to Su Rui, "Miss Su, I'm sorry, this girl followed me from Yuzhou. She has been used to being casual since she was a child and doesn't know the rules. I'm sorry for offending you."
"This is not Yuzhou, a place where one word can get you killed. Miss Tang Er still needs to be disciplined, otherwise, someone will take your place." The smile on Su Rui's face was extremely fake, and when his gaze fell on Liuli, he was more like a poisonous snake, which made Liuli feel cold behind her.
Tang Yuli answered obediently, then looked at the scripture in Su Rui's hand and asked, "May I ask if Mr. Yunji asked Miss Su to deliver the scripture?"
"Yes, Miss Tang Er, take it."
When she handed the scripture over, Tang Yuli did not dislike the others for things she had touched. She took it naturally and looked through it.
The annotations on it were very detailed, but she could also see that the handwriting was not Yun Ji's.
She had read the Buddhist scriptures copied by Yunji. His handwriting was like his personality, vigorous, powerful, elegant and outstanding.
"This calligraphy was written by Miss Su, right?" Tang Yuli's eyes were clear and he wanted to ask for an answer.
Seeing her good attitude, Su Rui did not hide it and said truthfully: "I copied it, but I copied the annotations written by Mr. Yunji himself."
Tang Yuli nodded in understanding, a flicker of disappointment in his eyes, but he remained polite and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"The scriptures have been delivered, so I'll go back first." Su Rui waved and turned around, and the wide sleeve of his gray robe just brushed across Liuli's cheek, not light or heavy, but it felt like a slap in the face.
"Why are you hitting people!" He pointed at Su Rui and shouted, but Su Rui seemed not to hear and walked back.
Liuli was so angry that she wanted to chase him, but Tang Yuli immediately stopped her and said, "Come on, you were the one who was rude first."
"Who does she think she is? She really thinks she is the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion. She is just a lowly slave, no better than an ordinary maid. Why is she so arrogant? She even shows off in front of you, young lady. She is really a lowly witch."
"Shut up! Don't believe rumors about things you haven't seen." After scolding Liuli, Tang Yuli looked at the scriptures in his hand, his eyes red, and said in a suppressed sob voice, "Go back."
Su Rui stood on the third floor of Feiyun Pavilion, watching Tang Yuli leave with her maid, wondering if she was really a White Rabbit or had the same outstanding acting skills as Liang.
But it has nothing to do with her, so she didn't think about it. She turned around and walked up. As soon as she entered the door, she said aggrievedly: "Sir, I was bullied because of your errand."
