Li Xiang covered her mouth and laughed. It was the first time she heard this explanation for "putting the blame on others". Patting Mingyu's quilt, Li Xiang sighed, "Miss, don't worry. You have suffered enough. How can God always treat us badly? Now the hardship has finally ended and happiness has come. Look, even the Queen has summoned you and given you so many good things. Don't you know that the Second Madam's face today is as if she had eaten a pound of garlic!"
Mingyu could naturally imagine what Second Aunt, who pretended to be virtuous but was actually mean and mean, would be like, so she also laughed. After laughing, Mingyu reminded them, "We can just talk about it among ourselves, but we must not let others hear it. It will be troublesome if Second Aunt finds out."
Sima Hong will arrive in the capital in a few days. Mingyu prays that nothing unexpected will happen to her during the time she gets the divorce papers. However, seeing how Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Hu reacted violently when they learned that she was getting a divorce, Mingyu feels worried.
The two people's laughter became louder, waking up Madam Xu in the main room. Madam Xu opened the window and asked Mingyu's room, "Mingyu, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Mingyu quickly stood up and said loudly, "I'm going to sleep now!"
When Mrs. Xu heard her daughter's answer, she muttered something, closed the window and lay back down.
Mingyu and Lixiang smiled at each other, as if they had been caught doing something bad. Lixiang helped Mingyu lie down, then blew out the light and went to sleep.
The next morning, Mingyu was practicing calligraphy in her room. The maid in the front yard of the Xu residence called Lixiang out. Mingyu only heard Lixiang's surprised cry in the room, "Sister Bixi!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lixiang led Bixi into the house.
Bixi was dressed similarly to when Mingyu saw her a few days ago, still in mourning clothes and with a haggard look on her face, but today, her haggardness seemed to have a hint of joy. After seeing Mingyu, Bixi knelt down firmly in front of Mingyu with a plop, and kowtowed three times before Mingyu could react.
Mingyu was shocked and hurriedly went forward with Lixiang to help Bixi up.
At this time, Mrs. Xu just lifted the curtain and entered the room. When she saw such a scene, she couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
Bixi looked at Mingyu crying, tears streaming down her face. She seemed to have a lot to say but didn't know where to start. After a long while, Bixi finally spoke, gritting her teeth and saying, "I came here to thank Second Madam! If it weren't for Second Madam's help, that bitch would have remarried and lived a carefree life. Did she think that no one knew about the dirty things she did? If she remarried, the eldest master would never be able to rest in peace!"
Mrs. Xu vaguely understood something, walked up to Mingyu, and asked, "Who is this..."
Bixi looked up at Madam Xu, and seeing that her eyes and eyebrows were similar to Mingyu's, she guessed Madam Xu's identity. She wiped her tears and smiled, "This must be my wife, your in-law. I, Bixi, kowtow to you!" As she said that, she knelt down earnestly and kowtowed to Madam Xu.
Madam Xu quickly pulled Bixi up. Seeing Bixi's red and swollen eyes, she felt a little sorry and said with a smile, "We don't have so many rules in our Xu family. No need to be polite."
Mingyu sighed, "When the Queen summoned me yesterday, I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
Bixi had tears in her eyes, but her face was full of happy smiles. There was a hint of cruelty in her eyes as she said, "That bitch deserved it! The people living in the Huang'en Nunnery are all concubines who made mistakes in the palace of the previous emperor. It sounds nice to say that they are praying for the previous emperor, but in fact it is just a nunnery for poor people! When the news reached the madam yesterday, she cried with joy and said that God has finally opened his eyes! The second madam helped our eldest son to avenge his death. She is my lifelong benefactor. Even if I have to work like a cow or a horse, Bixi will repay the second madam's kindness!"
"Sister Bixi really makes Mingyu sad." Mingyu held Bixi's skinny hand, feeling a little distressed. The Bixi she met two years ago was still a rosy-cheeked, gentle and beautiful woman. Now she has changed so much, how can she not feel sorry for her. "Sister, if you really want to thank Mingyu, you should take good care of yourself, have a few children with your brother-in-law, and live a good life with many children and grandchildren." Mingyu said that although Liu Cai was ugly and old, he was honest and loyal, and he was also devoted to Bixi.
"I..." Bixi naturally saw the regret and heartache in Mingyu's eyes, and felt a little embarrassed. In the past year or two, her heart and eyes were filled with the pain of the young master's departure. She wished she could die with the young master, so she had no time to think about herself and her husband. "I know that the bitch deserved it now, and I have nothing to worry about." Bixi let out a long breath and said slowly.
Seeing that Bixi had come to her senses, Madam Xu combed her hair again, nodded and smiled amiably, "That's good. You are still young and have a long way to go. If you live well, your eldest son will rest in peace in his grave!"
"Thank you, Madam. Bixi will remember it!" Bixi said gratefully, and then looked at Mingyu. After hesitating for a long time, she asked, "Second Madam, the Second Master will be back soon. Why don't you follow me back to the Miao Mansion?"
Mingyu smiled and said, "No need, we will get divorced as soon as your Second Master comes back. What, don't you know? Don't skip words.
Bixi's eyes widened in surprise. After a long while, she eagerly grabbed Mingyu's hand and asked, "Second Madam, you must be joking. It's fine, why..."
Mingyu didn't explain any further, but just smiled and shook her head with a determined expression.
Bixi sighed and said, "Second Madam, think about it again. Madam is not the same as before. She is more restrained and polite to others. When she escaped from Tianshui, Madam was unconscious and she didn't know. Please don't be angry with her because of this. Madam feels very guilty!"
Mrs. Xu interrupted Bixi and said, "Your wife has already agreed to this matter."
When Bixi saw Madam Xu say this, she knew that it was hopeless to persuade her, and it was not something that a servant like her could intervene in. After Bixi left, Madam Xu couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, saying, "It's a pity that such a young and beautiful woman has to be a widow for the rest of her life. Judging from her words and behavior, she seems to be a person who knows when to advance and when to retreat. What a pity!"
When Mingyu heard this, she knew her mother had misunderstood, and quickly said, "Mother, Bixi is not the eldest master's concubine, she is his maid!"
"Maid? Why is a maid wearing her hair in a woman's style?" Mrs. Xu was very surprised.
Mingyu shook her head and smiled, "It's a long story. Bixi married a servant of the Marquis's mansion, not the eldest son." Mingyu never expected Bixi to come to her house and kowtow to thank her. In fact, she had no intention of avenging Sima Xi at all. She just didn't like Luo Lingxiu's remarriage, and she had a lot of bad debts to settle with Luo Lingxiu. Luckily, she caught up with the Queen who wanted to attack the Luo family.
Regardless of whether the Queen was dissatisfied with the Luo family or Concubine Xie, it was fortunate that Mingyu bet on the right horse, otherwise, how could a little girl like her influence the Queen's thoughts. Miao couldn't do anything about Luo Lingxiu who ran back to her parents' home, so how could she have the ability to make Luo Lingxiu spend her whole life in seclusion
Thinking of this, Mingyu's mind moved. According to Bixi's words, the palace sent someone to Luo's house to take Luo Lingxiu to Huang'en Temple yesterday afternoon. She must have started "working" today. After all, they were sisters-in-law. If she didn't go to visit her, it would be a shame for all the "kindness" Luo Lingxiu had shown her in the past.
In the afternoon, Mingyu took Lixiang to the street. After asking around, they found a store that specialized in selling Buddhist supplies to lay Buddhists.
Li Xiang was puzzled, "Miss, what are you doing here?"
Mingyu looked around in the store and said, "Tomorrow we'll go to that nunnery to visit our sister-in-law. We can't go empty-handed."
"Ah?" Lixiang opened her mouth and let out a small scream, then nodded and said "hmm" in a muffled voice.
Mingyu took a fancy to a wooden fish on the shelf and asked, "Boss, how much is this wooden fish?"
The shopkeeper was probably holding a rosary in his hand to suit the occasion. He had seen Mingyu dressed neatly and tidy, and heard her say that she was going to the nunnery to visit the female relatives. He was very happy to have business, but he still put on airs and shook his head, saying, "Female donor is an outsider. You cannot "buy" things for serving my Buddha, you have to "ask" for them."
"Well, how much silver does it cost for this wooden fish?" Mingyu was very humble.
The shopkeeper smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "According to the rules, you can't ask the price, and you can't give change. You can only give more, not less, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the Buddha. The higher the price, the more effective the item you bring back. But little girl, you are still young, I will tell you the truth, this is the best nanmu, the most effective, please take it back for only two taels of silver."
Mingyu immediately put down the wooden fish in her hand and asked politely, "Then where is the least effective wooden fish in your store?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Mingyu meant, "Ah? What do you want, young lady?"
Mingyu curled her lips and asked directly, "Where is the cheapest wooden fish?"
The shopkeeper's face, which was originally smiling like Maitreya Buddha, immediately changed to that of Marshal Tianpeng.
As a result, Mingyu wandered around the street for a long time and finally went home empty-handed. In her eyes, it was a waste to give Luo Lingxiu a rotten vegetable leaf, so why bother buying something specifically for her.
The next day, Xu Mingye got up early and went to the street to hire a carriage, and took Mingyu and Lixiang to Huang'en Temple. The carriage took an hour and a half to arrive. Huang'en Temple was located halfway up the mountain, sparsely populated, and cold and quiet, hidden in the green trees.
A carriage had parked at the entrance of the nunnery. The master seemed to have already gone in, and only three or four maids and old women were left guarding the carriage. When they saw Xu Mingye helping Mingyu and Lixiang get off the carriage, they just looked around curiously and continued to huddle together and chat.
The nunnery was full of nuns, so it was naturally inconvenient for Xu Mingye to go in. He told Mingyu to go quickly and come back soon, then got back into the carriage.
Mingyu brought Lixiang to the entrance of the nunnery, and a little nun came over, put her hands together, chanted "Amitabha" to Mingyu, and asked: "Female donor, this is the royal nunnery. If you want to burn incense and worship Buddha, I'm sorry that this nunnery will not entertain you." (To be continued.
