Did Miss become a nun today?

"Don't make a sound."

After giving Pei Changyu his instructions, Xie Yun Chu quickly left the courtyard and closed the door behind her.

I've never seen them so in sync before. Now, they're going to the nunnery together every day. If they were this serious about their work, they would probably be high-ranking officials by now.

Are you really that free?

Before she could ask, Wei Lin stiffened his neck and said, "The soil we turned over yesterday wasn't turned over properly, so I came to take a look."

Pei Changfeng's eyes flickered, and he pointed vaguely, "Yesterday I noticed that a few bricks on the top of the wall were loose, so I'll help you rebuild the wall."

Meng Qi'an wasn't there to work. He waved the scriptures in his hand and said, "I'm here to discuss Buddhist teachings. Would you be welcome?"

Xie Yun Chu's gaze fell on him. Those two are fine, but why is he here to join in the fun?

"This is the nunnery, and it is not convenient to entertain guests here."

Looking at her aloof demeanor, Meng Qi'an's gaze lingered on her face for a moment before he suddenly asked, "You don't look well. Are you ill?"

Xie Yun Chu remained unmoved. "We do not keep male guests here. The three of you should leave as soon as possible."

Despite what had been said, the three seemed not to have heard a word, and none of them showed any intention of leaving.

One was carrying bricks, another was tilling the ground, and yet another was chanting scriptures. They treated the place of meditation as their own backyard, determined to stay there forever.

She is now beset by internal and external troubles. There are people blocking the door outside, and Pei Changyu is paralyzed in bed inside.

So, Xie Yun Chu didn't go to work today, which was unprecedented for him. Hui Niang took over the work at the charity hall, and he even missed the evening classes.

She stood guard at the door, refusing to let them in.

They only breathed a sigh of relief after the three said goodbye and left.

At dusk, she went down the mountain and asked someone to inquire about the news in the city.

News of Pei Changyu's escape from prison hasn't spread yet, but people can't stay here indefinitely, and we can't alert others. At the very least, we need to find Guanyun.

For several days in a row, Xie Yun Chu did not go out. Hui Niang noticed something was wrong and insisted on asking her for an explanation.

I couldn't hide it any longer, so I had to tell the truth.

Upon hearing this, Hui Niang raised her hand and assured her, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret for you. Just tell me if you need any help."

Xie Yun Chu had no doubt that Hui Niang would tell others, so she really asked her for help, asking her to send a message to the city to look for Guan Yun.

Guan Yun is absolutely loyal to Pei Changyu, and will definitely come once she receives the news.

Sure enough, the person arrived in less than three days.

Guan Yun entered and knelt down to pay her respects, but Xie Yun Chu said, "Amitabha, benefactor, there is no need for such formalities."

"Benefactor Pei is inside, badly injured. Please take him away."

Guan Yun was taken aback, unaccustomed to this form of address, but ultimately didn't ask, and went into the house with her head down.

The master and servant said something, and Guan Yun came out with red eyes and knelt down in front of her with a "thump".

"Miss..." He kowtowed heavily, "Young Master is badly injured and unable to move. Could... could you please take him in for a few days?"

"I will go find the medicine today. As long as you can get out of bed, I will definitely take you away."

As he spoke, he kowtowed several more times, "Miss, for the sake of the Madam and our past relationship, please have mercy and let the young master stay."

"If even you don't care, the young master will truly have no way out."

He kowtowed until his forehead bled, but he showed no sign of stopping. Only then did Xie Yun Chu say, "Get up first."

"Miss Cousin..."

"Don't call me that, get up first."

Guan Yun then stopped what he was doing and stood up, his forehead covered in blood.

"You can stay, but this is a nunnery, and there's not much I can do. You'll have to figure it out yourself."

She has quite a few rooms in her courtyard, so reserving two for them wouldn't be a problem.

"Thank you, Master... Thank you so much, young master." Guanyun thanked him repeatedly, wiped away his tears, and then went into the house to help the person to the next room.

He came out and bowed to her, saying, "Please take care of me, little master. I'll go find some medicine and will definitely be back tonight."

"Can."

After everyone left, Xie Yun Chu went inside, and Pei Chang Yu closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

She's now glad she moved to a different house; if she were still in her old place, she wouldn't have been able to hide if she just sneaked in like that.

As darkness gradually fell, Xie Yun Chu stood by the door. The room was dark, so her face was not visible.

Pei Changyu lay motionless on the bed, like a dead man.

She stared at it for a long time, then suddenly found it absurd.

The eldest son of the Pei family was once the object of affection for countless young ladies in the capital. However, he schemed against too many people and is now a prisoner, a fugitive, injured and unable to move, with nowhere to go.

This is probably what Buddha meant by retribution.

She turned her head away from him and was about to step out the door.

"puff"

Pei Changyu suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his already pale face turned ashen in an instant.

Without thinking twice, she rushed forward to help the person up, spitting out the blood from their mouth, as the stagnant blood could easily cause them to suffocate.

He coughed up all the blood and leaned limply against her.

Xie Yun Chu patted his back and checked his breath; he was still breathing.

Once the breathing had stabilized, they put the person back.

She got up to leave, only to find that her clothes were being tugged at.

Pei Changyu's breath was weak, and his grip was not strong. She pulled back and managed to pull the hem of his clothes out.

"woke up?"

"You saved me...you still care about me..."

Xie Yun Chu shook her head, "As a nun, I am compassionate. Even if it were someone else today, I would not stand idly by."

Pei Changyu forced a smile, "But...it just so happens that it was me...you...didn't abandon me."

She stood up calmly, clasped her hands together, and was no longer as afraid and cautious in front of him as before.

"Amitabha Buddha, it is all thanks to the Buddha's protection. If you survive, please offer incense to the Buddha."

After saying that, he turned and left the house.

As dusk settled, she stood under the eaves, took a deep breath, and lit the small stove ahead of time.

Guanyun returned at 9 PM, carrying several packets of medicine in his arms and an old cloth bag filled with food hanging on his shoulder.

"Thank you for taking care of me, young master."

"Yes, the fire is lit. Please make yourself at home."

Before Guan Yun could say anything more, Xie Yun Chu had already turned and left.

So... you're really just going to ignore it?

Looking back at the direction inside the house, what should the young master do now?

Xie Yunchu's life returned to normal. He still got up before dawn every day, had his morning lessons and meals, and then went to supervise the work. He did not miss any of his daily tasks.

When he came back in the evening, he went into his room and went to bed early without asking any more questions.

She always kept her identity in mind, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just asked the senior sister who had arranged her accommodation to change her place.

Unfortunately, the nunnery is short of rooms these days, and there's really nothing else for her to change into.

Helpless, they could only continue to stay in the courtyard.

After a few days of peace, Pei Changyu returned home and surprisingly left the courtyard.

Leaning on his cane, he trembled and lost his balance, falling straight down.

As luck would have it, he collapsed right at her feet.

They never stop for a moment.

Fortunately, Pei Changfeng and his group didn't come these past few days, otherwise, if they saw him, they wouldn't know how to handle the situation.

Xie Yun Chu put away her prayer beads, not wanting to meddle in other people's business, but this person grabbed her ankle.

"..."

"Amitabha Buddha, benefactor, please forgive me."

She couldn't lift a grown man, so she had to drag him back. If he bumped or bruised himself, it wasn't her fault.

They dragged the person back into the house and threw her on the ground, saying, "This humble nun is weak; please wait here, benefactor."

After saying that, he left without looking back.
