Did Miss become a nun today?

When Xie Yun Chu woke up, the sky had fallen.

I was in Qiulan Courtyard before I went to sleep, but when I woke up I was in a different place.

And all her scriptures that filled her room were gone, all gone!

"Reach for the moon, reach for the moon!"

"Coming, Miss is awake?"

"Where are my books? Where are my scriptures? Where have they all gone?"

"I just looked at it last night, and I put it on the table before going to bed."

"And where is this? Why am I not in Qiulan Courtyard?"

"Miss...we've moved to Shifang Courtyard. We moved here last night while you were asleep. Madam said the feng shui of Qiulan Courtyard wasn't good, so this place is more suitable for you."

Shifang Courtyard?

"Why move to Shifang Courtyard when everything was fine?"

Lan Yue remained silent, but she quickly understood.

Shifang Courtyard is not far from Pei Changfeng's courtyard, and it is also close to the main courtyard.

She asked Lan Yue, "Did you say something to your aunt that you shouldn't have?"

Lan Yue lowered her head, feeling guilty and even more afraid to speak.

She knew it; this girl was disobedient.

"Miss, please don't be angry. Even if I don't say anything, Madam will find out sooner or later..."

This can't be kept secret.

Xie Yun Chu closed her eyes. She had warned her before, but she still told others. Why couldn't she help herself?

She sat at the empty desk, not moving for a moment.

If she had lost something she cherished before the injury, she would have definitely thrown a tantrum, but she is no longer the same person she used to be.

She has improved now, and her temper has gotten better.

The environment changes with the mind, and the mind disappears with the environment.

The Buddha said, "Adapt to circumstances without changing your principles, and change your principles while adapting to circumstances."

It's just a change of residence, it won't change her wholehearted devotion to Buddhism. What's the difference between Qiulan Courtyard and Shifang Courtyard?

Lan Yue was prepared to be punished, but Miss Zeng only asked a couple of questions and then stopped talking.

"Miss, if you're angry, you can scold me or hit me a couple of times."

"No need, help me with my makeup."

Just as I finished getting ready, someone came in from outside.

"Miss, are you awake? Did you sleep well last night?"

"Thank you for your concern, Granny. I slept very well."

How could it not be good? They didn't even notice when I moved to a different place in the middle of the night.

Granny Sun was an old servant of the madam and had watched Xie Yun Chu grow up; she spoke to her with kindness.

"We've hired a tailor for the household, and the young masters and ladies need new clothes made. Madam asked me to bring some fabric to the young lady so she can choose some."

After he finished speaking, several maids came in carrying trays.

Xie Yun Chu glanced at the fabrics that had been delivered; they were all brightly colored, and she couldn't choose one right away.

"Is this all the material you have?" she asked.

Granny Sun nodded. "Summer clothes should naturally be brighter. Miss is young, and these look good on her."

Other colors are available, of course, but the lady instructed that the clothes made for Miss Biao in the future should not be too plain.

Wear whatever is pink, red, or floral, whatever is bright and vibrant.

"Why do you suddenly need to make clothes now that all your sisters are away?"

Granny Sun said calmly, "Miss Cousin just returned and doesn't know yet. The two young ladies from the second and third branches sent letters a few days ago, saying they'll be returning home soon. We need to prepare some new clothes for them, since they'll be getting married soon after they come back."

Xie Yun Chu understood and didn't ask any further questions. Her two younger sisters from the second and third wives were about the same age as her and would be coming of age this year.

She didn't find what she wanted, so she randomly picked two colors and said, "Tell my aunt that I have enough clothes and don't need to make too many."

Granny Zhao glanced at her clothes, a light cloud-colored dress, which was still too plain.

However, as a servant, she couldn't say much, so she curtsied and left.

The Marquis's mansion was quite generous to its servants. After the masters had chosen their servants, the servants also got their turn. After all, they were the ones serving the young masters and ladies, so they couldn't dress too shabbily.

Lan Yue and Qing Luo were all smiles all day. After returning home and eating meat, they were also very active since they had just moved to a new courtyard. They couldn't stay still for a moment.

Xie Yun Chu was so bored without the scriptures that she almost fell ill. Her aunt told her to rest and urged her to go out for a walk and talk to her cousin at home, without even asking her to pay her respects.

Upon hearing that they were going to the street, Lan Yue and Qing Luo turned around abruptly, looking at her with expectant expressions.

Helpless, Granny Li advised her when she brought her soup: "Miss, you can't be too lenient with the servants. Look at them, in just one month, these two little girls have become completely unruly."

"It's alright. They suffered with me at Qingyun Nunnery, so it's time for them to go out and have some fun."

"Is Granny going?"

Granny Li put down the soup bowl. "This old servant will not go. As you know, going out might cause trouble for Miss."

Granny Li was a servant of her mother, and she rarely left the Marquis's residence in recent years.

Those who chased her mother back then might recognize Granny Li, so she should indeed be careful.

Thinking back to those assassins at Qingyun Temple, could they all be the same person?

Hearing that Granny Li wasn't going, Qingluo smiled and said, "Then we'll bring Granny some good food when we come back."

Before noon that day, Xie Yun Chu left the mansion with her entourage.

Having not seen a bustling city for a long time, the group was overwhelmed by the sights. Xie Yun Chu was also happy, thinking that she could buy a few Buddhist scriptures to take home today.

When it was time to eat, we chose Jinxianglou, a famous restaurant in Beijing.

"I've heard that their crispy duck and crab roe stuffed with egg white are exceptional. Would you like to try them, Miss?"

"Since we're already here, let's give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yue recommended several meat dishes, saying that eating meat is good and that Miss should eat more meat.

The three of them ordered all the restaurant's signature dishes before Xie Yun Chu finally had time to look at the scenery outside.

Besides its delicious food, Jinxianglou also boasts stunning scenery.

The private rooms are connected by a corridor on the street-facing side, with a wooden hanging flower door in the middle separating the two rooms. Once the door is opened, the two private rooms can be connected.

Tables and chairs are set up on the veranda. Brewing a pot of tea and enjoying the scenery here would be a refined pleasure.

"Come on, drink!"

A voice suddenly came from next door, "So long? Has your cousin really given up on you? This is fantastic news! Come, come, today we should celebrate Brother Pei's freedom!"

After he finished speaking, the group started to cheer and shout.

The soft sounds of string and wind instruments drifted from next door as a group of young men drank and chatted, their clamor reaching my ears.

Even if you can't see it, you can imagine the lively scene of the wine sloshing around and people drinking to their hearts' content just by hearing the sound.

A moment later, the voice came again: "Brother Pei, are you really willing to be controlled by Xie Yun Chu for the rest of your life?"

"In our capital, the most famous henpecked husband is that Vice Minister of Justice. He's completely controlled by a woman, and he's so ridiculed when he goes to court that he can't even stand up straight. Now everyone's saying you're the second Vice Minister of Justice, so your good days are over~"

His tone was clearly provocative, and he ended with a deliberate sneer, "You haven't actually fallen for Xie Yun Chu, have you?"

"Impossible!" Upon hearing this, Pei Changfeng retorted without the slightest hesitation.

"I would never like her, not in this lifetime!"

Still not satisfied, he added, "I wouldn't like her no matter who I like!"

"Xie Yun Chu is just a little pretty... She has no manners whatsoever of a marquis's household. I don't like that kind of shrew."

He swirled his wine glass, scoffing, "If my mother hadn't insisted I marry her, I wouldn't be giving in to her like this!"

She was startled. So that's what he always said in public. No wonder he was reluctant to take her out.

At this moment, she didn't know how she felt.

I'm glad I gave up... but it still hurts that all my sincerity over the years has become a burden.

The only certainty is that Pei Changfeng never intended to marry her.

Fortunately, she had long since given up on him.
