idle mistress

Chapter 237 Extra Story ([-])

Well now, the man at the helm is finally back, and they too can breathe a sigh of relief.

Shen Qing looked at the ledger in her hand and let out a long sigh. Originally, she thought about going back to Huai City and lying flat, but in this state, it's hard to stand, let alone lie down...

Resting her chin in her hand, she let out a long sigh and fell into deep thought.

Seeing her sad face, shopkeeper Dai didn't dare to disturb her, and quietly retreated out together with several others.

Shen Qing was completely stumped by Hai Fenglong, and reported to Hai Fenglong on time every day, leaving early and returning late, so she couldn't care less about intervening in the relationship between her son and his cousin.

Fortunately, King Ling didn't come back from the capital, otherwise she wouldn't be able to be so free. After five days of busy work, some things were finally sorted out, so she could breathe...
-
Zhenjue finished the morning class with Master, and was cleaning the side building with a broom. This cleaning is also her daily homework.

It was complicated and boring, she scanned and stared at the incense burner not far away, not knowing where to go.

Since she escaped into Buddhism, she eats fast and recites Buddha's name every day, but she still can't keep her mind free from distracting thoughts.

Master said that she did not have the roots of wisdom, and she also admitted it.

"Zhenjue, Zhenjue." A little nun walked towards her. This little nun was only about ten years old, but she was her senior sister. Therefore, Zhenjue politely called her senior sister.

The little nun pointed to the outside and said: "There are pilgrims looking for you outside, just outside the mountain gate."

"Who is it?" Zhenjue was full of doubts.

"A young woman, well dressed."

Zhenjue nodded and headed towards the mountain gate. She guessed that Miss Xiangning was the only one who could come here to find her. In the past, Miss Xiangning would stop by here to have a look at her when she went to the concubine mausoleum to pay homage to her wife.

Sure enough, as she expected, when she came to the mountain gate, she saw Gao Xiangning standing in front of a cypress tree waiting for her from a distance.

Seeing her coming out, he smiled at her and called her, "Master Zhenjue, long time no see."

Zhenjue walked up to her, clasped his hands together, drooped his eyes, and saluted her: "Amitabha Buddha, you are so kind, great benefactor, you will be well in the near future."

Gao Xiangning looked at her with a smile and said, "Who do you see coming?"

Zhenjue looked around suspiciously, but saw no one else present, she opened her mouth to ask, suddenly, a person came out from behind the cypress tree and hugged her.

"Jin Nuo, I miss you so much..."

No one was seen, but the voice was real, Jin Nuo's expression froze instantly, and then his face was full of disbelief, almost petrified:
"Husband... Madame... But you, you are not dead? Are you still alive?"

"Well, Lord Yan thought I was annoying, so he hurried me back again."

"Ma'am..." Jin Nuo was amused by her, and started crying again after laughing.

Gao Xiangning at the side watched the master and servant hugging each other, crying and laughing, and couldn't help showing a gratified smile on his face.

After a while, Shen Qing opened the distance between the two, looked at Jin Nuo, and joked: "Seeing that you are wearing this Taoist robe, it really is so serious, Master Zhenjue, would you like to return to the vulgar and follow me down the mountain?"

Jin Nuo kept nodding, she was so excited that she couldn't speak for a long time, and it took a long time to spit out: "As long as the madam doesn't dislike it, wherever you go, the slave will follow."

Shen Qing nodded: "Success."

Half an hour later, the three women went down the mountain together, followed by several guards at a distance.

Walking to the fork, Shen Qing dragged the two of them to another mountain road, and said while walking: "Xiang Ning, Jin Nuo, since you've come here, let's go, and take a look at my mausoleum."

Gao Xiangning and Jin Nuo were swallowed by her words, seeing that she didn't shy away from it at all, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

Arriving at Feiling, Shen Qing looked around and suggested: "Why don't we go inside and take a look."

"what?"

These words scared the two women enough, Gao Xiangning immediately asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do inside?"

"Didn't you say that your cousin got me a lot of funerary objects? I'd like to see what treasures are inside."

After hearing this, Gao Xiangning wanted to slap her mouth on the spot. She thought to herself that she was all to blame for her talkativeness, so she hurriedly said: "How could it be possible to get in? Besides, there are many institutions inside."

She used words to scare her, trying to dissuade her cousin, who was fearless all day long.

Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Shen Qing took out a file from the bag behind her backhand, shook it in front of her, and said in a very frightened voice:

"Don't worry, I have the structural drawings of Feiling Mausoleum here." While speaking, she had unfolded the drawings and looked at them seriously.

Gao Xiangning was completely startled, and her speech became stammering: "This...sister-in-law, where did you get this thing?"

"I found it in your cousin's dormitory." As she replied, she kept scratching her finger on the drawing.

After a while, she let out a cry of surprise: "But I found it, look, here, and here, there is a secret passage."

Soon, Shen Qing found the secret passage according to the blueprint.

Seeing that she was about to enter the tomb passage, the mausoleum guards learned her identity from several guards, and did not dare to step forward to stop her for a while.

Gao Xiangning was afraid that her cousin would come back and blame her, so she didn't want to get along with her at first, but Jin Nuo at the side obeyed her, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow in.

The tomb passage is very narrow, and the further you go in, you have to bend over to pass one by one.

The three of them were walking, when Jin Nuo touched something in her hand, she was taken aback, she couldn't help but let out a scream, and under the chain reaction, Gao Xiangning, who was not very courageous at all, also screamed stand up.

After a while, the two realized that it was a false alarm.

Seeing the two people startled, Shen Qing couldn't help teasing: "There is no body here, it's an empty tomb, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

The two of them thought about it, and they thought it was a treasure room. With this thought, the two of them became more courageous.

Soon, the three came to the tomb.

Although she was mentally prepared, Gao Xiangning couldn't help sighing when she saw the dazzling array of gold and silver jewellery, antique calligraphy and paintings, ceramics and jade wares in the tomb: "There are so many treasures..."

Jin Nuo on the side stared and opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time.

Looking at the gold, silver and jewels in front of him, what Shen Qing thought in his heart was: "With so much cash, it seems that my Hai Fenglong can be saved..."

"This is not the main tomb yet." She continued to walk in following the drawing, and soon came to the main tomb, where there were even more funerary objects.

Shen Qing was attracted by a strangely shaped porcelain, thinking that this thing is neither like a bowl nor like a pot, what is it used for?
