Chapter 383 Sacrifice You
Master Juehui was breathing heavily.
My chest hurts and my head hurts too.
I was mad at Lu Qingyao and her daughter.
Xing'er couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she stepped forward to calm her master down. "Don't be angry, Master. You don't have to worry anymore. Madam Lu has already taken care of everything during the half day you were unconscious."
"Solved what?" Nun Juehui was even more excited, holding Xing'er's hand tightly. "How did you solve it? Where are your sisters?"
"Don't worry, Master. They are all fine."
"How did you solve it?"
Xing'er glanced back at Lu Qingyao before speaking, "It was Madam Lu who reported the incident to the authorities. The soldiers have arrived..."
"Who did they arrest? Who took the blame for me?" Xing'er was interrupted by her master before she could finish her words.
Lu Qingyao retreated with her daughter.
Xing'er stood up and brought her master a cup of tea before speaking soothingly, "Master, the soldiers haven't arrested anyone, and no one has been convicted. It was Madam Lu who reported the crime. Have you forgotten? Last night, Jingchen teamed up with the criminals, knocked you and your sisters unconscious, and they escaped. She disobeyed the order, and the soldiers are now searching the entire city for her."
The nun beside her nodded in agreement, "Master, she even knocked me unconscious."
"Yes, yes, me too. I just woke up."
Master Juehui looked confused, suspecting she was dreaming, and pinched her hand.
It hurts.
She suspected that she was getting senile.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at Xing'er's face, "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you Jingchen?"
Xing'er stood up and massaged Master Juehui's shoulders, but she didn't dare look at her master, feeling a little guilty.
I'll explain it to her slowly later.
She continued, "Master, have you forgotten that I am Jingyun, or you gave me that name? Jingchen is Miss Zijin's Dharma name. She escaped last night."
The nun beside her also agreed: "Yes, she is Jingyun."
Master Juehui was stunned.
She quickly got up and walked out of the house, walking around the temple.
For a moment, she really felt that she was getting senile.
But when he returned to the Buddhist temple, he looked at the place where he and Lu Qingyao sat yesterday.
Then she thought about what Lu Qingyao had said to her.
Master Juehui woke up immediately.
She twirled her rosary beads, recalling everything that had happened, her mind filled with what her disciples had just said.
Jingchen knocked her out last night and ran away, and reported it to the authorities early in the morning.
It's not considered concealment.
Then the crime of sheltering Jingchen and deceiving the emperor would no longer exist and no one would be implicated.
At most, they failed to supervise the prisoners properly, but what does it have to do with a group of monks like them, as it is the job of the yamen runners to supervise the prisoners?
She looked up at the disciples in the room and asked, "Jingchen, also known as Miss Jiang San, did she really escape last night?"
"Yes, Master, I saw him. He was dressed in black and had his face covered."
Several young nuns chattered and told their master what they had seen.
"I saw it too. That person can also climb walls and fly over rooftops."
"I saw it too. That guy even knocked out the senior sisters."
"I saw it too. It wasn't just one person, it was several people..."
…
The little nun chattered like a little sparrow.
This time, Master Juehui didn't mind the noise.
The big stone hanging in my heart fell to the ground.
She felt relieved at this moment and asked the disciple beside her, "What else did the officer say? Did it implicate anyone else?"
"No, everything is fine. The Jiang family is fine, my parents and brother are fine, and the sisters in San Sheng Temple are fine too." Xing'er excitedly hugged her master's arm.
She no longer had to pretend to be Jiang Zijin.
She could also leave the yard and live and eat with her sisters.
Madam Lu promised her that she would keep her parents and brother safe.
I also asked her if she wanted to leave San Sheng Temple.
She didn't want to, everything was fine here.
Better than being in the Jiang family.
However, the fifth girl secretly told her that sooner or later her two brothers would take charge of the Jiang family, and they would let her parents and brothers out to reunite with her.
Xing'er thought about it and it made sense.
Lord Jiang will grow old and die sooner or later, and he has never remarried.
If the family business is not left to my two brothers, who else can it be left to?
Master Juehui remembered that she had just walked around the nunnery and did not see the mother and daughter. She did not expect that the problem that kept her awake and unable to eat was solved so easily by them.
It’s a pity that I misunderstood Ms. Lu yesterday.
It's time to apologize to her and thank her.
It was hard to describe the feeling that Nun Juehui was having at the moment. She helped her disciple to stand up and was about to go out. "Jing... Yun, where is Madam Lu? Take me to see her."
Xing'er hurried over to support the master. "They left a while ago. Madam Lu just sent a hundred taels of money for incense. She also told the master not to worry about it. She did this for the children."
After saying that, she remembered something else.
"Master, I remembered that Madam Lu has two sons. The eldest is fighting on the border, and the second seems to be taking the imperial examination today. How about we chant sutras and pray for them?"
"Okay... I'll close the temple today and chant sutras and pray for blessings."
On the way home.
Aunt Xiuxiu slept all the way leaning against A-niang.
He took away Miaomiao's position.
"Mom, what did my aunt do last night?" Miaomiao asked. Her aunt must have not slept a wink last night.
"He went to be a thief."
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
really!
No wonder the man in black who knocked out the nuns last night looked familiar.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like Aunt Xiuxiu and Liuyun.
It was indeed them.
This trick is amazing. As long as everyone insists that it was Jiang Zijin who escaped.
No matter what she said, no one would believe her.
Sacrifice her to save everyone.
I guess the yamen runners are looking for her all over the world now, and her wanted portraits are everywhere.
The portraits were specially painted by the official after listening to A Niang's suggestion. There are portraits of people with long hair and short hair.
Because her hair must have grown long while she was running away.
Lu Qingyao was still worried and told Xier, "Go back and tell the officer. Jiang Zijin might sneak back to the Jiang family or go to the Three Saints Temple."
In fact, Lu Qingyao didn’t think Jiang Zijin would go to these two places.
She was afraid that Jiang Zijin would take revenge if he knew that Xing'er and the nun had betrayed her.
This little girl is really not an ordinary person.
Ever since she found a substitute and bribed Master Juehui to escape from San Sheng Temple, Lu Qingyao no longer treated her as a little girl.
This girl's mind is far beyond her years.
It's like there's another soul hidden inside your body.
Xier nodded in agreement.
Lu Qingyao thought for a moment and then instructed, "You should ask Aunt Tao to buy Xing'er's family over. Tell her that Jiang Zijin disobeyed the imperial order and escaped. Don't harbor a criminal."
Tao Tao is now in charge of the Jiang family's backyard.
After the contract was signed, no matter how powerful Jiang Zijin was, he could not do anything to Xing'er's parents.
"Mom, you are so awesome!" Miaomiao gave a thumbs up.
A'niang had helped Aunt Tao before, as long as her mother and brother were still in Taoxi Village.
She would definitely help with this little favor.
A'niang has really planned everything out.
Jiang Zijin felt bored in the house and wanted to go out for a walk.
She still had several properties secretly left behind by her grandmother in the capital, and she wanted to go and see them.
I also want to pay my respects to my mother and grandmother.
When she escaped, she wanted to take her grandmother with her. She asked someone to inquire at the village and found out that her grandmother had died of illness before her mother.
Daddy has such a cruel heart.
Once it was no longer useful, it was discarded like a worn-out shoe. Even the doctor was unwilling to hire one for my grandmother.
At that moment, she understood why her mother hated her father so much and was willing to kill him even at the cost of her own life.
But even if Daddy has a thousand faults, he is still her biological father.
She didn't want to casually acknowledge a relative like Lady Zhen did, no matter how much the foot-washing maid acknowledged her as a relative or how much favor she received.
Still just as lowly.
It is impossible to become a queen.
Just like her current identity as a dancer.
But this is only temporary.
Prince Chen had promised her that the first step to ascending the throne would be to promote her father to the position of Minister of Rites.
And she will enter the palace as the daughter of a minister.
