After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 51 In Your Heart, What I Am

Xiao Fengxian sat quietly in the small study and ate fish.

He waited from dawn to dusk, but he didn't wait until the government servants came to arrest him.

The little widow must have not sued the officer.

He looked at the opposite boudoir, and she didn't know where she was. Usually, the lanterns in the room were already lit at this time, but today the room was dim, and there was obviously no one there.

When he waited impatiently, Nan Zhu came back from the outside: "Young Master, we have found out the cause of Fan Wenzhu's death."

"Ok?"

"Last night, after watching the dragon boat race, he went home with a lantern. It happened to rain in the middle of the night. The muddy road by the river was slippery. The sky was dark and he couldn't see clearly. The soles of his cloth shoes were worn out, so he slipped into the river by himself. Drowned. The government has closed the case, and the public announcement has been posted."

Xiao Fengxian gritted her teeth.

This poor scholar is really useless, if he walks hard, he can fall into the river and drown.

But that stupid woman put all this on his head, he really couldn't tell.

Nan Zhu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The widow also went to see the corpse today, shed some tears, and said that Fan Wenzhu's old mother was pitiful, so she gave all the 50 taels of silver that Zi Qi Donglai earned yesterday. People."

The voice fell to the ground, and the atmosphere in the study was weird.

Xiao Fengxian smiled, "She is really rich. Where is she?"

"I didn't come back with Beizhi, and Beizhi kept an eye out. I saw her riding a carriage alone to the outskirts of the city. Looking at the direction, it was the direction of Yunshen Temple."

Xiao Fengxian threw away the fish skeleton in his hand and went straight to Yunshen Temple.

The moon rabbit rises in the east.

The moonlight is bright in the outskirts of the city.

Yunshen Temple stands on the top of the mountain, the Daxiong Hall is brightly lit, and the solemn sound of wooden fish can be heard faintly.

When Xiao Fengxian arrived, he saw Wei Zi kneeling on the futon with his back facing him.

She was wearing a jade-white skirt, her back was thin and graceful, and her waist was unbearable.

The palace is full of beauty, with huge palace lanterns and colored prayer flags hanging above her head, and the gods and Buddhas in the temple look down on her benevolently. She kneels in front of the gods and Buddhas, so small and weak.

Xiao Fengxian stood outside the threshold of the hall.

I don't understand what she was doing alone in the Buddhist temple in the middle of the night.

He was about to call her home when he suddenly saw her clasping her palms together and staring up at the golden Buddha.

With the sound of the wooden fish, she said: "My second brother has lost his mother since he was a child, and no one has loved and taught him these years, and he may have grown crooked. It's just that he is still young now, and he will always be able to correct it in the future. Fan Wen The death of Zhu really had nothing to do with him, I blamed him wrongly. The other lives he committed will surely atone for his sins in the future."

Xiao Fengxian wanted to laugh when he heard that.

How can there be any gods and Buddhas in the world, and how can there be any karma?
If there were, there would not be so many sufferings and disasters in the world.

How frightened the little widow was, she ran to the temple to intercede with the Buddha for him.

After all, she is a girl who grew up in the village. She has little knowledge and timidity. Whenever she commits a little crime or does a little bad thing, she will be full of guilt and can't sleep well.

He was about to make a mockery, when he heard Wei Zi say: "Although he is bad, but after thinking about it, he treats me very well. He not only taught me how to read and write, but also lent me a lot of money. He is always willing to protect me in front of my parents-in-law.

"Since he calls me sister-in-law, I will regard him as a family member. Lord Buddha, if he makes mistakes in the future, it is because I am not strict in discipline. Those sins have nothing to do with him. Please count them on my head. After death If you want to go to Avici Hell, please let me go alone."

At the end of the conversation, the girl put her head on the ground devoutly and kowtowed to the Buddha a few times.

The mountain wind blows and the palace lanterns flicker.

Xiao Fengxian stared at her blankly.

He has lived for so many years, and this is the first time someone said that he is regarded as a family member.

It was also the first time someone said that they were willing to go to Avici Hell for him.

At this moment, Xiao Fengxian couldn't see through Wei Zi, but could really feel that her soul was warm.

In the boundless cold night, luring him to come closer, he became greedy and nostalgic for the warmth, so he could never leave her again.

Wei Zi got up and donated all the money left on his body to the old monk.

The old monk said with a smile: "May the girl get what she wants, be happy, and be peaceful."

He took out a bodhi bracelet from the cloth bag and gave it to Wei Zi.

Holding the bracelet, Wei Zi turned around and saw Xiao Fengxian standing outside the treasure hall.

A wind blew up in the night, ruffling his black hair and cloak.

His eyes were red, leaning against the door of the temple, like a wronged and confused fox.

Wei Zi walked up to him slowly.

She took his hand and put the bodhi bracelet on his wrist: "I'm sorry, my sister-in-law wronged you for killing Fan Wenzhu in the morning. This bracelet has been opened before, and it can bless you in safety and success."

Xiao Fengxian glanced at the bodhi bracelet.

It is the kind used in temples to send pilgrims. The workmanship is rough, and you can buy a bunch of them for a few pennies.

He touched the bracelet and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't like me, but she is willing to go to hell for me... In sister-in-law's heart, what am I?"

what is it then?

This time, Wei Zi answered firmly: "Family."

family……

Xiao Fengxian's expression was stiff.

Wei Zi raised the lantern: "It's all here, you should also go to the Buddha and offer a stick of incense."

Xiao Fengxian went to offer incense in silence.

Just as he was inserting it into the incense burner, the incense stick in his hand suddenly broke.

After repeating this three times, Xiao Fengxian lost his patience and threw the incense sticks on the incense table: "What kind of incense to put on, I can't put it on! Come to think of it, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas don't care about my incense."

Several monks stood beside holding wooden fish, looked at each other a few times, all of them were puzzled.

Wei Zi bit her lip, her face was also a little ugly.

Even the vicious fugitives have never heard of the incense sticks being broken when worshiping Buddha.

Her second brother... seems to be extremely disgusted by the gods and Buddhas.

She said softly: "Forget it, let's go down the mountain."

She walked outside the temple, Xiao Fengxian looked up at the golden Buddha statue in the treasure hall.

He raised his palms up, his eyebrows and eyes solemn: "I don't believe in gods and Buddhas, but she is a widow, and she is pitiful. If you say that all the sins are put on her head, if you really exist, you can't do that kind of thing." Is it a matter? The sins I committed are my own responsibility and have nothing to do with others."

He nodded slightly, and went after Wei Zi.

The two spent the night in Wutong Garden and returned to Xiao's house when the sky was getting dark.

The lady Gui who was looking at the back door belonged to Xiao Fengxian, and secretly opened the lock for the others while they were still asleep.

Pass through the screen wall corridor and pass a rockery.

Mrs. Liu had just finished hanging out with the two old men, she raised her trouser belt with a smile on her face and got out of the rockery, and saw Wei Zi and Xiao Fengxian passing by on the flower path.

She froze for a moment, and her triangular eyes immediately burst into vicious light.

She followed the two of them softly, and cursed secretly: "I said that this little bitch is too young to be a widow, but the old lady doesn't believe it! She came back from outside with my uncle in the early morning. Fucked outside all night! Wait until I catch you in bed, and watch how I treat you!"

Wei Zi and Xiao Fengxian looked at each other, but didn't ignore the sneakiness behind them.

They entered the garden in the southeast corner and deliberately put Mrs. Liu in.

Mrs. Liu followed Wei Zi's boudoir all the way. Seeing the two stepping into the threshold one after another, she couldn't help but slapped the window and scolded sharply: "What a pair of adulterers and whores, they eat and live together behind their backs! Little bitch!" , are you worthy of the eldest son and the old lady?! The old lady raised you as her own daughter!"

In the boudoir, Qingju has already prepared an exquisite breakfast.

Mrs. Liu sniffed the fragrance and couldn't help breaking into the boudoir.

She looked around and couldn't help but froze.

In the past, the little bitch lived in a house that was not even as good as a kennel. Why is it that the furnishings are exquisite and gorgeous now, and it has become a boudoir for everyone?
The carved makeup mirror table and Hunan embroidered screen are so expensive that even the old lady is reluctant to use them!
