Chapter 198 Asking for Buddha’s Blessing~
On the table were some unfinished Buddhist scriptures.
The man lowered his eyes slightly, not even looking at her.
In the not-so-big Zen room, Bai Shutong was sobbing softly, her body was as frail as a cattail or a willow.
Jiang Hui stood aside, looking coldly at the crying woman in front of him, his brows furrowed.
He didn't know why, but when the Second Lady cried, he felt sympathy, but when Mrs. Bai cried, he just felt irritated.
Holding a sword in his arms, Jiang Hui had a stern face and said nothing.
The man at the desk had no intention of speaking.
Seeing this, Bai Shutong rolled his eyes and continued, "Master Master, are you going to watch Brother Xuanzhou die without helping him?"
"The Rong family is now suffering from such a disaster. As the eldest son of the Rong family, are you planning to stand by and watch?"
"How dare you!" Jiang Hui shouted.
At the table, the man finally put down the brush in his hand, his expression indifferent: "If you came to see me just to say this, you can leave now."
"Master Master!" Seeing Jiang Hui about to pull her away, Bai Shutong called out hurriedly, her eyes fixed with tears. "After my two children were driven out of the Eastern Palace, someone with ulterior motives spread the news. Now, we can't even hold our heads up in the capital!"
She finally revealed her true purpose.
Looking at Rong Jianxue with tearful eyes, Bai Shutong cried so pitifully: "I don't care about those rumors, but Ah Xuan and Nuonuo are still young and should not suffer those humiliations and insults."
"I beg Master Young Master to punish those who spread the rumors and clear my name and that of my child!"
Jiang Hui, who was standing by, sneered when he heard this and looked at Bai Shutong with contempt.
"Madam Bai, what are you talking about? What do you mean by clearing your name? It's a fact that you and those two children were kicked out of the Eastern Palace. How can that be considered a humiliation?"
Jiang Hui was sarcastic.
Bai Shutong bit her lip slightly, looking at Rong Jianxue with humiliation and resignation, "Master Young Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I are just friends. Ah Xuan threw a tantrum and refused to return to the Rong Residence, so I took them to stay temporarily in the Eastern Palace. How could it be as unbearable as Guard Jiang said?"
Jiang Hui rolled his eyes.
——It seemed as if he didn't know that during the autumn hunt, this Mrs. Bai and her "friend" the prince lived in the same tent and made love all night long.
Bai Shutong naturally had no idea what Jiang Hui was thinking, and his gaze remained fixed on Rong Jianxue. "Master Master, please be merciful. Please, for the sake of our two children, punish those who spread rumors."
Rong Jianxue's eyes were calm and indifferent. "Xuan Zhou once told me that Madam Bai is clever and intelligent, a leader among women."
Bai Shutong was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Rong Jianxue suddenly mentioned this.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and Bai Shutong looked at Rong Jianxue, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged. "Then Madam Bai, why don't you guess who dared to spread the news that you and your two children had left the Eastern Palace?"
In an instant, it seemed as if a thunder had struck above Bai Shutong's head!
She widened her eyes, her pupils constricted, and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
Rong Jianxue has already started organizing the copied scriptures.
He lowered his eyes slightly, his expression calm and indifferent.
He raised his hand with a stack of sorted scriptures, and Jiang Hui stepped forward respectfully and took the stack of scriptures.
"It's burned."
"yes."
Jiang Hui took the scriptures and left.
Bai Shutong widened his eyes, still not recovering from what Rong Jianxue had just said.
I don’t know how long it took.
The woman blinked slowly. She opened her mouth and it took a while before she heard her own voice: "Is it... you?"
Rong Jianxue looked back at her quietly, which counted as an acknowledgment.
Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes. Bai Shutong looked stunned and shocked, with confusion and bewilderment in her eyes: "I, I don't understand..."
"It was you who instigated Shen Congyue's escape from Jiangnan, forcing her to threaten the Prime Minister with her own safety," Rong Jianxue said with a cold look. "Later, it was you who brought her into the Rong Mansion, intending to use her to frame the Pei family for the poisoning."
The man looked indifferent: "Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Shutong's pupils constricted, and he knelt on the ground in a slightly dejected manner for a while.
Without looking at her again, Rong Jianxue turned and left.
--
That night.
Pei Jingxu went to stroll around the back mountain.
Because of what Rong Jianxue said last time about wild beasts at night, Pei Jingxu did not go far and just wandered around nearby.
The mountain breeze blew by, and Pei Jingxu's frown relaxed a little.
I heard that this area of the back mountain was originally the territory of Randeng Temple, but there were many rocks here. Later, when Randeng Temple was renovated, this area was isolated from the temple.
If you look carefully, you can still see many ruins and many green tile incense burners.
After reading those letters, Pei Jingxu felt a little depressed.
Since her rebirth, perhaps because this vicious female supporting character has developed her own consciousness, many of the plots in the story have changed.
The memories she had were becoming less and less useful.
Now, she felt more and more that the plot was deviating and out of control.
The only thing she could hold on to was the towering tree of Rong Jianxue.
There were footsteps behind me.
Pei Jingxu turned around and saw the man wearing a black robe and walking towards her.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Is it finished?"
Rong Jianxue walked up to her and said, "Well, I'll be back home tomorrow."
Pei Jingxu rolled his eyes and spoke with a worried look, "When Mrs. Bai came to see me today, she said that Rong Xuanzhou and the eunuch had both been punished by His Majesty."
"It's not a big deal," Rong Jianxue lowered her eyes, "don't worry."
Rong Jianxue told her not to worry, so she felt relieved.
Pei Jingxu said she wanted to walk around a bit, so Rong Jianxue took her a little deeper.
Walking further, Pei Jingxu saw a small, dilapidated temple.
If you walk closer, you can see a broken Buddha statue enshrined in the center of the temple.
"What kind of Buddha is this?" Pei Jingxu asked him softly.
"Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth."
The night makes all thoughts go crazy.
Tonight is the last night for the two of them at Randeng Temple.
Pei Jingxu bit her lip when she heard this: "Then shouldn't Ah Xu pray to Guanyin to let Ah Xu…"
"No need to beg him," Rong Jianxue lifted her belly. The lotus flowers under the Buddha statue gave rise to her selfish desires. "Beg me."
There is no need to ask for Buddha's blessing.
Just ask him.
"Please, please, 'Buddha', let me get pregnant soon..."
