Chapter 473 He’s Gone to Complain

“Thank you very much for your generosity, Fifth Miss. Don’t worry, I will definitely find out what happened!” Puyu Nun wiped her cold sweat secretly. She was very grateful that Shao Wanru didn’t pursue the responsibility of Yuhui Nunnery, so she thanked her repeatedly.

Since the matter had been settled, the crowd dispersed. Of course, the believers scattered to spread the news. Everyone guessed much about Fifth Miss Shao’s last sentence.

Who could Fifth Miss Shao who had just come to the mountain become enemies with? Even if they did, who would dare to do that to her? Had the nuns gone crazy? If that was not the case, then who was going to deal with Fifth Miss Shao?

Could it be that the First Miss Shao of the Shao’s Mansion who had a good reputation was only seeming dignified and elegant on the surface? Was she actually a vicious person?

There were different opinions. Some people said this, and some people said that. But it happened under the eyes of these people. So it had pieces of evidence. Many people thought that this matter had something to do with First Miss Shao of Duke Xing’s Mansion.

Didn’t people in Duke Xing’s Mansion say that they didn’t like this Fifth Miss Shao?

Shan Yu Nun took the nuns of Yuhui Nunnery to leave, leaving only brother and sister Zhang and Shao Wanru.

“Are you the daughter of Infanta Qinghua and the former Heir of Duke Xing?” Zhang Qilan looked Shao Wanru up and down curiously and asked with a smile. She was a quick-witted girl who was about the same age as Shao Wanru.

“I am. Thank you both for what you did just now.” Shao Wanru turned to the two siblings and bowed naturally.

“It doesn’t matter. I just see the injustice and feel angry. No matter who sees this kind of thing, they will stand out.” Zhang Lanjue’s voice was full of pride. He felt that his mother would not scold him for making trouble this time, but would praise him.

“Don’t thank me. You’re too polite. Everyone would talk about this kind of thing if they see it. The nuns of Yuhui Nunnery are too bullying. I’m going to live here for a period of cultivation recently. If someone dares to do this to me, I won’t be able to stand it anymore!” Zhang Qilan pursed her lips and then held Shao Wanru’s hands. “Will I be able to live next to you then? I heard that living with a long time is different from living with a short time!”

All the guestrooms were gathered together. Usually, all the guestrooms were arranged by the nunnery. Those who lived here within a month could be counted as temporary lodgings. For those who lived long, it would usually take more than a month. The nunnery would pick up some courtyards with more beautiful scenery for them to live in. If they were not satisfied, they could refurbish and fill the house with money.

Shao Wanru and Shao Yanru before did like this.

There were basically no nearby pilgrims as neighbors. The environment was quiet and elegant, and the pilgrims who lived here for a long time could cultivate more peacefully.

“Well, I’ll help you to ask if there is another courtyard!” Shao Wanru was very fond of the straightforward Miss Zhang, so she thought for a while and said with a smile.

She hadn’t been in Yuhui Nunnery for a long time, so she really didn’t know the environment beside her.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have one. Can I come and play with you when I move in later? Will it disturb your self-cultivation?”

Zhang Qilan did not make things difficult for Shao Wanru. She knew that she was not the one who had the final say on this matter. She smiled and suggested something else. The particularly beautiful Shao Wanru in front of her made her eyes light up. This was the first time she had seen such a beautiful girl. She wanted to get close to Shao Wanru subconsciously.

Furthermore, Shao Wanru looked kind and friendly. She was a nice person and did not look down on others like the Misses of aristocratic family at all.

Although Prime Minister Zhang came from an extraordinary family, he was not from the elegant families in the capital city. The official system was somewhat different from the noble system. It paid more attention to ability rather than family background.

Shao Wanru’s family background was very strange. She used to be the Second Miss of Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion, who was from the official system, but now she was both from Duke Xing’s Mansion and the granddaughter of Rui’an Great Elder Princess. She was the real noble Miss of aristocratic family, and she was the most distinguished one.

“I won’t be bothered! I will still have some time after chanting for Mother and Father every day,” Shao Wanru said gently.

“Alright, alright. It’s a deal then. When the time comes, I will definitely come and find you!” Zhang Qilan did not hide her happiness as she said with a smile.

Zhang Lanjue was about to speak but stopped on second thought. He looked at his younger sister and Shao Wanru. Then, he nudged his younger sister’s waist with his elbow.

“Brother, what’s the matter?” Zhang Qilan was talking with excitement, but she was interrupted. She turned her head and said unpleasantly.

Zhang Lanjue silently made a mouth shape. However, Zhang Qilan was just in the joy of finding a good friend. How could she have anything in common with her big brother?

After she did not see it clearly, she said loudly, “Brother, just say what you want to say. It’s so light. How can I listen to it?”

Seeing that Shao Wanru and her servant turned around, Zhang Lanjue’s face turned red. After stamping his feet, he gritted his teeth and said loudly, “A censer, an eight-sided censer!”

“What’s wrong with the censer?” Zhang Qilan didn’t understand the meaning of Zhang Lanjue’s words, so she blinked her eyes and asked.

Shao Wanru understood and a smile appeared on her face. She had seen this First Young Master Zhang looking at the censer vigorously from outside the temple earlier. It was obvious that he liked the censer very much.

Therefore, she had come up with the way to pick up the censer in order to lure him here.

She didn’t expect him to be so persistent. He hadn’t forgotten about this until now.

“My censer, my censer!” Seeing her younger sister’s stupidity, Zhang Lanjue couldn’t help patting her head and could only give her more hints. He secretly looked at Shao Wanru with his eyes.

It was very chaotic then and he did not notice where the censer that he liked was. He wanted to ask Shao Wanru directly but it was not convenient. As such, he wanted to remind his younger sister of it.

I didn’t expect her to be so stupid! Zhang Lanjue thought angrily.

“Does Childe Zhang try to talk about the missing censer before?” Shao Wanru couldn’t stand it any longer. She laughed and spoke frankly.

“Yes, yes, yes, just that censer. Where did it go?” Zhang Lanjue nodded with excitement. Finally, there was a smart one!

Shao Wanru said with a smile, “The censer is at the bottom of the biggest Buddhist altar in the side hall. First Young Master Zhang can find it!”

“Okay, okay, thank you, Fifth Miss Shao!” Zhang Lanjue couldn’t stay for a second. He saluted towards Shao Wanru, lifted his robe and ran out quickly.

The servant chased after him and called him. He didn’t answer him and his mind was full of the censer that he was going to get ready.

At that time, it will be one of the collections that he can show off everywhere.

Watching her brother running away, even Zhang Qilan felt ashamed. Sure enough, her brother was a dandy. Look at what he had done, it made people feel ashamed!

Fortunately, she was a straightforward person. Even though she felt ashamed, she did not feel very uncomfortable. She was able to chat with Shao Wanru. The two of them sat by the side and chatted. The other servant girls helped to clean up the hall.

After packing up, Madam Zhang also sent people over and asked Zhang Qilan to go over to worship the ancestors again. Then Zhang Qilan reluctantly got up and left.

When Zhang Qilan returned to the main hall, she found that the religious ceremonies had not yet begun. She was immediately unhappy. She pouted and sat down in the chair in the side hall. She said coyly, “Mother, Fifth Miss Shao and I are talking. Why are you calling me over so hurriedly? We are talking happily!”

After saying that, she looked at Zhang Lanjue who put his head down and immediately knew that her eldest brother had been scolded by her mother. So she immediately got rid of the little emotions in her heart and became careful.

“You’d better not get involved in the matter of Duke Xing’s Mansion.” Madam Zhang looked at the brother and sister, frowned and said.

“Mother, it’s obviously the nuns of the Yuhui Nunnery who are bullying people. If I let them bully her like this, next time when I move in, will I be bullied by them?”

Zhang Qilan took Madam Zhang’s hands unhappily and shook them.

Her words made Madam Zhang silent and made a comparison. All the parents cared about their children. Thinking that this Fifth Miss Shao was a little girl but she was mourning for her father and was forced to leave in Duke Xing’s Mansion and all people in it seemed to dislike her, Madam Zhang could not help but sigh and think that this girl was so poor!

“Mother, Fifth Miss Shao is a good person. She looks younger than me and is skinny and pitiful.” Thinking of Shao Wanru, who was dressed in a loose robe, Zhang Qilan felt pity for her. The loose robe made her look like a large cloth bag. But even so, she still looked beautiful.

“Well, well, I don’t object you to see her. I just want you to be careful and don’t care about the business of Duke Xing’s Mansion!” Madam Zhang said helplessly to her daughter.

The daughter should be brought up in a pettish manner, and Madam Zhang did bring up her daughter in a pettish manner. However, her son was brought up in a harsh and solid manner.

Fortunately, her daughter was still reasonable and was not spoilt.

Although Madam Zhang did not know the inside story of the matter, she felt that it would not be simple. Otherwise, why would the Miss of an aristocratic family, who had just come back, be forced to the mountain without the protection of her biological parents!

“Mother, all the things are finished? I’m going out if there’s nothing else!” Zhang Lanjue smiled when he saw that his younger sister had healed his mother. He stood up and shook his robe. He had found the censer, but he didn’t have time to look at it. At this time, he wanted to play with it before the religious ceremonies started.

“Stop!” Madam Zhang’s face fell down and she shouted at him.

“Mother!” Zhang Lanjue turned around pitifully.

“You stay here and don’t go anywhere. There are all women in the nunnery. Don’t offend anyone!” Madam Zhang said.

“Mother, you don’t believe that nonsense, do you?” Zhang Lanjue felt that he had been wronged. How could he fall in love with these young and beautiful nuns and offend them and then make trouble.

“Shut up!” Madam Zhang’s hand hit the table heavily. It was a rumor, and she had heard about it. But later on, according to Prime Minister Zhang’s words, it seemed not to be a rumor, but it seemed to be true!

Madam Zhang didn’t want her son to be caught in this kind of thing. Her son’s temper was not very good. So it was safest for him to stay with her.

“What’s wrong?” A carefree voice came from the Zen room.

“Teacher, teacher, save me!” The nun kneeling at the door of the Zen room cried loudly on the wooden steps!
