Chapter 264 The Watery Beauty is Gone
I'm really afraid of what will happen.
The Xu sisters really did just that—lost their youthful beauty.
Second Brother sent someone to follow them, so how could they still be missing?
“Sister-in-law Sun, we’ve met before. We saw them at the wonton stall.” The second brother, who was taking a nap in the next room, had also woken up and was standing behind him.
"Yan-ge'er, have you seen where she went?" Madam Pan asked again.
"She ran away as soon as she saw us." Jiang Ziyan felt that the two of them were acting suspiciously, and he didn't know what they were up to.
If you want to go out shopping, you can ask Brother Sun to accompany you, or you can find a few guards to protect you.
They sneaked out.
Isn't this courting death?
Forget it, he's just a kid and there's no need for him to ponder what other women are thinking.
"Come in quickly, don't just stand there." Lu Qingyao pulled her into the house and asked, "Where's Captain Sun? Have you gone to look for him?"
"We searched, first in town, but they're probably at Shuiyue Nunnery now." Madam Pan rubbed her temples.
Lu Qingyao was taken aback and was about to ask if they had gone to pray for a child.
Madam Pan nodded. "My second sister-in-law is very concerned about her image. I suppose she was too embarrassed to say it out loud, and my second brother disagreed, so she slipped out."
She felt a little embarrassed even saying it.
My second brother and his wife have no children, so they spend most of their time apart.
They've been married for three years, and including this time, they've only seen each other twice in total. It's no wonder she's pregnant.
But she actually believed in that so-called "spiritual spring water".
It's one thing to believe, but shouldn't you have brought a few guards with you when you go out like this? You just slipped out like that and you don't even know how you died.
He even brought his own younger sister along.
That's ridiculously stupid.
She was so angry she didn't want to say anything.
Jiang Miaomiao poked her head out from the inner room. After spending more than half a month together, this was the first time she had seen so many expressions on Sister-in-law Sun's face.
He looked both annoyed and amused.
Fine, for the sake of the second brother of the Sun family, I'll help that woman out for a while.
She walked up to Madam Pan and stretched out her small hand, "Sister-in-law Sun, do you have their handkerchiefs? Xiaobai can find them."
Lu Qingyao then realized what was happening.
He quickly replied, "Yes, yes, that little white wolf has an extremely keen sense of smell. If your sister-in-law really went to Shuiyue Nunnery, it can find her by following her scent."
“Yes…yes, I’ll go to their room to look.” Madam Pan said with delight.
Even if that person is unlikable, they are still family, and no one wants anything to happen to them.
The handkerchief was brought over, and Jiang Miaomiao whistled, causing a little red bird to fly in and land on her hand.
The white wolf frolicked in the woods outside the window, wagging its tail happily as it watched the little figure inside.
After putting on a cloak, Jiang Miaomiao went downstairs to find Jiang Xiaobai.
Pan saw the little girl let the white wolf smell the handkerchief, and then climb onto the white wolf's back.
The wolf and the cub first frolicked happily in the forest.
It darted out in no time and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
“Auntie, Miaomiao is missing, could it be…” Pan’s eyes widened first, then she looked somewhat frightened, clutching Lu Qingyao’s arm.
No matter how well you raise a wolf, it will never be as obedient as a horse. This child is far too bold.
But her mother and brothers all looked calm and unsurprised.
Aren't they worried at all?
Just as they were wondering what was going on, they saw the girl's personal maid ride after them on horseback.
Jiang Zifeng and his brother also mounted their horses and chased after them.
The road from Lingquan Town to Shuiyue Temple is fairly flat, but very narrow, only wide enough for two horses to travel side by side.
The carriage couldn't pass.
I wonder how those delicate young ladies managed to get up there.
They are willing to endure any hardship in order to give birth.
Lu Qingyao smiled and said, "This is a game that Miaomiao and her brothers often play. They might have already arrived by the time we get there."
The two men, accompanied by their guards, rushed over.
Before long, Jiang Miaomiao arrived at the entrance of Shuiyue Nunnery.
Afraid of scaring her, Jiang Xiaobai retreated into the woods and stood guard behind the bushes.
The large characters "Shuiyue Nunnery" came into view.
The vermilion red on the characters was so bright and glaring that it looked like they had just been written.
Shuiyue Temple is located halfway up the mountain, nestled in a small valley, surrounded by mountains and water, with its back to the mountain and facing the water.
This must be what they call a feng shui treasure land.
The rest of the mountain is quite steep, but this part is very flat, surrounded by lush trees.
In front of the temple, there is a small pool with a spring beside it, from which water flows gently.
Maybe that so-called "spiritual spring" really does have miraculous effects.
The temple doesn't look very big; it's just a small shrine. Although the gate and plaque are brand new, the walls are old and damaged.
It seems to be at least a century-old temple.
Jiang Miaomiao found a small stone stool to sit on, eating the walnuts that Xi'er had peeled while obediently waiting for her brother and mother.
Because they could already hear the sound of horses' hooves.
At the same time, they saw Brother Sun Er in the jungle not far away, who had led his men to surround Shuiyue Nunnery.
Brother Sun stood to the side, so embarrassed that he scratched his toes on the ground.
The nun Shuiyue in the temple was treating believers, oblivious to the sounds outside.
Having reached her level, many things and many words no longer require her to speak or do them herself.
Someone will do it for her.
That kid is really noisy.
Then many pilgrims pointed at Sun Erlang's nose and cursed him.
They cursed him for disrespecting ghosts and gods, called him a robber, and accused him of plotting evil.
He's just a lowly captain, yet he dares to come here and make a scene.
Master Shuiyue is a living bodhisattva who saves people from suffering. How could she possibly take away his wife? This man must be insane.
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
Ugh! That idiot, Brother Sun.
If Shuiyue Nunnery really has a problem, wouldn't he be alerting the enemy by doing this?
What if they kill someone to cover their tracks and destroy the evidence?
Jiang Miaomiao pretended not to know him.
He was playing under the tree, holding his little red bird.
Before long, the eldest and second eldest brothers arrived, followed by their mother and sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law Sun chuckled awkwardly, "My brother isn't usually like this. He's probably just worried and confused. But what should we do now?"
“It’s alright. Let’s go and pay our respects to Abbess Shuiyue first. Didn’t you say you also wanted to have a child?” Lu Qingyao looked at her.
Sister-in-law Sun understood immediately, and the two of them avoided the crowd and entered the temple.
Jiang Miaomiao and her brothers were still sitting on the small stone stools waiting. She looked around but didn't see Aunt Xiuxiu. She asked her brother, "Where's Auntie? Has Auntie come yet?"
Jiang Ziyan pointed to the back mountain of Shuiyue Nunnery, "They went that way."
Captain Sun's actions weren't without their downsides; at least they attracted everyone's attention.
If his mother and Aunt Xiuxiu hadn't come, and he had continued making such a scene, his wife and sister-in-law would probably have died eight hundred times over.
Lu Qingyao entered the temple, bowed to the Buddha, and looked up at the Bodhisattva above, whose face was kind and benevolent, and whose lips were slightly parted.
Below the Bodhisattva is the nun Shuiyue, who has a beautiful face, kind eyes, and a Buddha-nature.
Look at the believers, look at them.
His smile was warm and friendly.
A gentle and kind expression filled the eyes.
