章 45: Wandering About
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the wife of the Li family's eldest son went back, Secondary Consort Li looked relaxed.
"The eldest son's wife is really good. I cannot believe that she managed to think about this," Mrs. Feng whispered.
"If she wasn't good, how could she have managed to discipline the multiple women my good-for-nothing brother has. She even managed to make them obey her at all times," Secondary Consort Li said.
"Secondary Consort, what should we do now?" Mrs. Feng asked.
"We will look for a good chance and persuade His Highness to bring her back. By the way, send another fifty taels of silver to that nun. She should know what she should say and what she should not say," Secondary Consort Li said faintly.
"Understood." Mrs. Feng went to carry out her orders.
Grandmaster Jingmian received another fifty taels of silver when it was the end of March, which meant that it was already almost April.
The weather had begun to warm up, and Grandmaster Jingmian was very happy to have fifty taels of silver added to her wallet. So she continued to turn a blind eye to the widow and the monk next door.
When the widow's husband's family decided how to punish her, Grandmaster Jingmian would not even need to do anything.
Days went by, and April arrived.
The weather became much warmer.
Chu Yue had been nursing her health for a long time, so her complexion was very different compared to last year.
Hupo finished brewing a bird's nest and made jujube soaked in bird's nest and crystal sugar. It was very tasty and nutritious.
Chu Yue did not drink it every day, but every two days.
At that moment, she was rather absent-minded as she drank the bird's nest. She could understand it finally. The monk was really going to wait until July to become worldly again, but would she still be around by that time?
Chu Yue let out an airy sigh. She wanted to go traveling again instead of staying on the mountain. So on that day, she went to talk about it with Qin Heng.
"Master, it's spring. It's meaningless to just stay on the mountain all the time. I intend to go out for an outing," Chu Yue said once he finished the eight-treasure porridge.
"Haven't you traveled between the mountains enough? Where are you going for an outing?" The monk was stunned.
"I'm just going out sight-seeing and plan to wander around," Chu Yue said.
She had to go out and relax, or else, she was really going to die of gloom.
"I'll have Yingda go with you." When the monk saw that she really wanted to go out, he did not fight it.
"Alright." Chu Yue knew that he was worried about her, so she did not reject the offer.
"You have to come back on the same day," the monk said.
Chu Yue was stunned before she said with slight annoyance, "Master, please don't pull that trick on me. I intend to go out on a stroll for a few days. If I went out and returned on the same day, I wouldn't have had enough time to even sit in the carriage."
One should only look at the vehicles they had right now. If someone wanted to go out, they had to either ride a horse or sit in a carriage. The speed was very slow either way, so she did not intend to come back within a day.
When the monk saw that she was not at all reluctant to part with him, he stewed in anger for a bit. "Have you ever thought about how I'm still here in the temple?"
Chu Yue touched his bald head and said without a shred of pity, "Be good now, don't throw a tantrum. You asked for it."
The monk was speechless. Why did he feel as if she was really fond of his head?
Chu Yue left without any reluctance.
