There was a nunnery inside a temple, which should be an impossible thing in the world. However, it was true.
In her past life, Qu Moying only saw two old nuns in the nunnery on the mountain top, who seemed to have stayed there for a very long time.
Pei Luo'an's explanation was the emperor asked the Dabei Temple to help run this nunnery. But the so-called help was just providing them some daily necessities, such as firewood and food-related supplies. Every first day of a month, the temple would send someone to put the supplies on the road that led to the top of the mountain, and the nuns would walk down and pick them up by themselves. All the other things about the nunnery had nothing to do with the Dabei Temple.
Because it was a direct order from the emperor, and the only path was locked. Even the temple staff couldn't step into this area.
Qu Moying felt weird after hearing about it from the Crown Prince, but she was not too
"Cousin, wait." Qu Qiuyan gnashed her teeth.That low-life bitch's existence reminded everyone of Qu Qiuyan's mother's shameful history at any second. Only her death could make people completely forget about it."Cousin, I think Young Master Xu looks mad. I need to go check on him." Yu Qingmeng noticed the sullen look on Xu Lipeng's face and got anxious."What are you going to do now? Let him vent his anger on you? I think I saw Second Lady Duan following behind Young Master Xu just now. If you are there with Young Master Xu, she will definitely make you suffer," Qu Qiuyan sneered and released Yu Qingmeng's sleeve from her hand."Then...what should I do?" Yu Qingmeng felt more flustered. She heard that Duan Jinxiang was a shrew, and she was mad at Xu Lipeng marrying Yu Qingmeng. It was possible that Duan Jinxiang beat her out of anger, and Yu Qingmeng couldn't afford to be insulted like that in public.But when
Qu Moying lowered her head and curled up her lips, amused by Qu Qiuyan's acting skill.Not getting any response from Qu Moying, Qu Qiuyan inwardly cursed her for not being grateful. However, her acting was not affected at all. "Grandmother...Second Young Master Yan...Second Young Master Yan...""What's the matter with him?" the Old Lady hit the table hard and said angrily. Yan Yu's name was the last thing she wanted to hear now. For what happened before, he became a thorn in her flesh."He's still in the Dabei Temple. I worry that if he...he will offend Moying, that will be bad," Qu Qiuyan sounded concerned.Qu Qiuyan talked as if there was something between Qu Moying and Yan Yu. Qu Moying lifted her head and stared at her coldly, "Third Sister, why won't Second Young Master Yan offend you? Why does it have to be me?""I have nothing to do with Second Young Master Yan. I..." subconsciously, Qu Qiuyan argued back
"We are sisters. Don't even mention it." Qu Qiuyan gave Qu Moying a smile, looking a bit complacent. She couldn't take anything from Qu Moying, but she could give her things as she wanted.However, not every person deserved her gift!The two young ladies said goodbye to each other friendly at the Old Lady's yard door and left the different directions.Strolling to her yard, Qu Moying held the hairpin in front of her eyes and watched those pearls clattering each other. It was indeed an exquisite hairpin, unique enough for her to remember it till now.She saw the same hairpins at the empress' place. There was a set of four hairpins sent to the empress as a tribute. That day, the empress invited her over to pick some accessories. When she got to the empress' place, Noble Consort He was there too. After the set of hairpins was presented to them, Noble Consort He's eyes lit up, and she asked the empress for the hairpins immediate
"Don't worry. It's me bothering Third Sister anyway. I have been pretty weak too, and luckily, I feel fine during this trip.""Don't even mention it, Fourth Lady. The Third Lady is your older sister, and of course, she will take care of you.""Alright, then please tell the Third Lady that we will meet her fifteen minutes later under the tree outside of the Old Lady's yard," responded Yu Chun.Without saying anything else, the two maids curtsied to each other and left. Yu Chun did everything as Qu Moying told her and returned inside.The other maid quickly returned to Qu Qiuyan's yard. After seeing Qu Qiuyan, she curtsied to her and reported, "My lady, the First Lady said she feels unwell and can't go with you this time. Fourth Lady said she will meet you fifteen minutes later under the tree outside of the Old Lady's yard.""Qu Xuexin refused to go with us again? She is getting more and more smart," Qu Qiuyan sne
End in the water, start in the fire!It sounded exactly like her rebirth!As the queue slowly moved forward, Qu Moying clenched the divination stick hard and tried to suppress her unsettled feeling. She always felt like she had been pushing forward by the hand of fate, and somehow, she could feel it more in this kind of place."Ouch! Why did you bump into me?!" A loud sound came from the front.Qu Moying raised her somewhat pale face and looked towards it.It was a young servant and an old woman, who looked unfriendly, bumping into each other."Hey, watch your mouth! You bumped into me, and you blame it on me?! Are you blind?" The old woman was irritated immediately, talking aggressively."You did it! You did it on purpose." The young servant was only eleven or twelve years, wearing clothes made of coarse cloth, which meant his master's family was not a wealthy one. At this moment, he s
"It's a hairpin.""Huh, a golden hairpin decorated with purple pearls.""I've never seen purple pearls before. I wonder how much do they cost.""It must belong to a rich family.""Judging by the clothes the boy wears, his young master must be pretty poor. He shouldn't afford such a valuable thing. Wait, what's this? A note?"Someone noticed a note dropped from the wallet and hurriedly picked it up before anyone else."I have to return these beautiful pearls with tears in my eyes. I wish I had met you before getting married." The one who picked the note up was not illiterate, and he read the words on it out loud.Although some people couldn't comprehend the first sentence, the second one was straightforward enough to understand.It meant a lady was interested in a man and gave him her hairpin as a gift. But the man returned it to her, saying he had already married and didn't
It was Liu Lanxin's private maid, Chun Xiu.This maid was even more beautiful than many noble ladies in the capital, and it was hard not to notice her in the crowd.She was trying pretty hard to squeeze in, which irritated the people around her. Those angry people were all about to scold her. But they fell into silence and even made some space for her after seeing her gorgeous face.Chun Xiu moved into the crowd with a curious face, standing towards Pei Yusheng, who was outside of the circle.In fact, Liu Lanxin was the most suitable wife candidate in Pei Yusheng's heart, and he planned to give the other two hairpins to her. If her maid told her that he gave two of the hairpins to Qu Qiuyan, it would totally ruin his big plan.County Lady Jingyu noticed the hairpin in Qu Moying's hand and took a careful look at it. Then she said in a low voice, "That pearl hairpin...looks quite familiar."She turned
"Third Lady Qu, there might be a misunderstanding. Maybe someone is trying to use this hairpin to set up your family. You can ask your father to check on it. There have to be some clues that he can find out. You and your sister are just two ladies, and it will be inconvenient for you to make an investigation," said Pei Yusheng.His words acted as an excuse for Qu Qiuyan, implying that someone wanted to frame Qu Zhizhen by ruining his daughter's name. Qu Qiuyan was also a victim and had nothing to do with it.Qu Moying raised her brow and stepped back quietly, leaving the space to Qu Qiuyan and Pei Yusheng.Chun Xiu arrived pretty late and didn't see the whole process. Frowning, she looked at the two people in the center and whispered to an old woman next to her, "What happened? Why does Lord Jing spend so much effort defending Third Lady Qu?"At the same time, Qu Qiuyan took out her hanky to wipe her tears, feeling wronged.
