Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5496 Fifth Madam

I want to see the bride clearly.

……

The monk was slowly squeezed out of the last crowd.

……

Everyone is paying attention to the bride in red.

No one cares about the poor Miss Six who died anymore.

after all……

No matter how many girls she is, it has nothing to do with them.

There was nothing else they could do except sigh at the passing of a life.

……

The monk silently clasped his five fingers together.

With one last look at the bustling noise of gongs and drums not far away, he turned around.

……

The monk came to the back door of the house.

……

Compared with the hustle and bustle in front, the back door is as deserted as ever.

The hustle and bustle up front was almost non-existent.

……

"Dong dong~"

The monk raised his hand and knocked on the back door.

……

After the monk knocked for the third time, the door was opened.

At the same time, there were also impolite words.

"Who?"

“Knock, knock, knock…”

"Do you know where this is?"

"Just whatever-"

The man's voice stopped abruptly.

"Master?"

A monk wearing a cassock appeared before him.

The demeanor around him made him naturally call him Master.

The man couldn't help but swallow.

……

"Amitabha."

The monk chanted a Buddhist name.

……

"Amitabha."

The man immediately lowered his head and shouted.

"Grandmaster."

The man looked at the monk nervously and doubtfully, "You..."

"Are you here to beg for alms?"

This was the only reason he could think of for the monk to appear at the back door.

If one is invited by the master or mistress of the mansion, then one should go in through the front door.

Or, at least there should be servants waiting here to lead the way.

……

The man turned his head and looked.

Ok.

Only him.

No one else.

……

The monk smiled and shook his head.

"No."

"I'm looking for someone."

The monk simply stated his purpose.

……

what?
The man was stunned.

Find someone?

"Can I help you?"

Is it possible that there is an old friend of the master in their house?
But he had never seen this master before...

……

"I want to meet the Sixth Miss's mother."

The monk had a smiling face.

It seems like a trivial request.

……

The man was stunned.

"Miss Six?"

The man's expression changed slightly.

……

"She's the Sixth Miss's mother."

The monk corrected the man.

……

The man shook his head.

"Even if you want to see Miss Six, you can't."

"You can't see Sixth Miss's mother just because you want to."

How can a woman in the inner chamber casually meet a man from outside the house?

Even if the other person is a middle-aged monk.

……

"Please go and report it."

The monk's expression remained unchanged and his tone was gentle.

"Just say that an old friend who lives in a nearby inn is visiting."

"Madam will see me."

……

"really?"

The man wasn't sure.

"Don't let me get scolded later."

……

"will not."

The monk smiled and shook his head, "If I have caused you trouble because of this poor monk, I will pray for you and compensate you."

……

"Really?"

The man's eyes lit up.

This monk looks quite powerful.

It should be a monk with profound Buddhist knowledge whom he could not get in touch with.

If there was such a powerful monk to pray for him...

The man was very excited.

……

"real."

The monk nodded.

Look serious.

"I never tell lies."

……

"it is good."

The man knew that monks did not tell lies.

"Please wait here for a moment."

The man closed the door.

There were sounds of a man hurriedly leaving from behind the door.

……

The monk raised his eyes
There was no sound coming from the direction ahead.

It seems the bride has been taken away. …

The monk waited for a long time.

Long time coming...

He thought he would return empty-handed this time.

……

The closed back door was finally opened again.

The man appeared at the door.

"Master, the Fifth Madam invites you."

……

The monk smiled and nodded.

"sorry to bother you."

He noticed that the man was a little out of breath.

……

The man smiled and shook his head.

"Fortunately, the Fifth Lady agreed to see you again."

At first he reported it, but after waiting for a long time the reply he got was that he didn't know the person and had not seen him.

He froze in place.

He thought the master was sure...

At least that's how he felt from the Master's performance.

did not think of……

He hesitated.

only……

He is just a small servant, what can he do?

There is nothing he can do.

He sighed.

Turn around and leave.

……

Unexpectedly, after he took a few steps, he heard a call from behind.

He turned around uncertainly.

Are you calling him?
……

Turns out, it was calling him.

He was surprised to get a surprising reply.

The Fifth Lady is willing to meet the Master.

……

He was confused.

Why is the Fifth Lady willing to see him again?
……

The maid frowned and told him to stop asking questions.

The Fifth Lady did whatever he was told to do.

Where do so many whys come from?
……

He agreed when he heard it.

He apologized with a wry smile.

Yes.

As a servant, could he expect an explanation from his master?

……

Anyway, he did what he promised the master.

The man hurried back the way he came.

It seemed like a long time had passed.

Master, are you getting impatient?
……

"Thank you."

The monk thanked the man.

……

The man immediately waved his hands.

He didn't do anything.

Who knows why the Fifth Lady changed her mind later?

It's the master's good luck.

……

The man sent the monk to the gate of the Fifth Lady's courtyard and left.

He also has to guard the back door.

Moreover, servants in the outer courtyard were not allowed to stay in the backyard for long.

……

The monk followed the maid into the fifth lady's room.

……

The room was a little dim.

Madam Wu was leaning back on a stool.

The expression on his face was a little blurry, maybe because of the light.

……

Madam Wu raised her hand.

The maids in the room retreated one after another.

Only the fifth lady and the monk were left in the room.

……

"Grandmaster."

The Fifth Lady nodded slightly to the monk. She was neither enthusiastic nor particularly cold.

……

"You still remember this poor monk."

The monk smiled slightly.

....
"nature."

The Fifth Lady nodded.

"How could I forget the Master?"

The fifth lady smiled.

Besides, it’s been so long since we last met…

It hasn't been long.

……

"But you didn't remember to send someone to the inn to call me."

The monk looked into the fifth lady's eyes.

……

The fifth lady's eyes flickered.

She subconsciously looked away.

Then I realized what the monk meant by this sentence.

"You have been in the inn?"

The Fifth Lady was a little surprised.

That was quite a long time...

……

"Ah."

The monk nodded.

"I am waiting."

……

The Fifth Lady's mouth opened slightly.

After a while, the Fifth Lady pursed her lips.

"…Why bother?"

The Fifth Lady sighed.

"The master is thoughtful."

At this point, the Fifth Lady's expression finally eased a little.

Not so cold anymore.

……

"I promised to be there whenever you call."

The monk didn’t think this was intentional.

He just did what he promised.
