Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 2 Wei Er Saves Her Mother
Murong Wei sighed, Aunt Zhou saw that she was the kind of woman who had no ambitions, just like Daiyu who was sentimental, who knew nothing about fighting, and now she lost her mind when something happened.

"Mother, it's okay. Now that we're out, her plan will come to nothing."

"Then shall we go back to the Spring Garden now? Pretend nothing happened."

"No, we were drugged, who knows if there is something wrong with the people around us?"

Aunt Zhou was a little dazed: "How could it be? They are all old people around me. I brought them from my mother's house, and the maids are all born at home..."

Murong Wei shook her head, "As long as there are enough benefits, we can't buy people? We can neither go back now, nor pretend that nothing happened. If they don't see our mother and daughter when my father comes later, they may frame us Mother eloped with someone."

"Then what should we do?"

"No matter what else, let's find the host first."

Aunt Zhou was in a state of confusion for a long time, and she didn't notice how her daughter, who was usually weak and cowardly, suddenly became shrewd and stopped stuttering.

The two walked along the path, and when they saw a young novice, Murong Wei stopped, "Mother, calm down, don't let people see your flaws."

She smiled and asked, "This little master, can you see the abbot?"

The little novice was only seven or eight years old, with a naive expression on his face. When he saw the two beauties, he was stunned and scratched his head embarrassedly: "Today is the first day of the new year, and the abbot is giving a lecture. , the little monk will lead you there."

"Thank you, little master." Murong Wei supported Aunt Zhou, and walked behind the little novice at a leisurely pace, with a calm attitude as if walking in her own courtyard, making it impossible to see anything wrong.

Aunt Zhou's heart didn't know whether it was gradually calmed down by her daughter's composure, and only then did she realize her daughter's abnormality and looked sideways.

If it weren't for the hall where people listened to scriptures, there were people everywhere, she really wanted to see if the person in front of her was her daughter.

The little novice brought the two of them into the east side hall, where there were all female guests.Murong Wei looked at it, smiled and said to the little novice: "My mother wants to meet the abbot and donate 3000 taels of silver as incense money. I wonder if the abbot is free to meet?"

"The abbot is in the apse. Ma'am, please." The little novice was also surprised by their generosity, guessing in his heart which noble lady it was, and donated 3000 taels of silver at one time.

Aunt Zhou's almond-shaped eyes widened when she heard this, and she took Murong Wei's hand in surprise, "Wei'er, why are you..."

"Mother, we'll talk about it later." Murong Wei knew that Aunt Zhou wanted to ask her why she donated so much incense money, but how could it be so easy to meet the abbot of Xiangguo Temple?There is no shortage of famous ladies here, why should they see you?
These silver coins are already all the banknotes in the package. They are the treasures that Aunt Zhou has saved over the years, and some are left by her mother's family. This is all added up.

When we arrived at the apse, the little novice announced the news. After entering the hall, the abbot, Master Zhi Zhi, smiled slightly and saluted with palms together, "I don't know why this madam is looking for this old monk?"

Murong Wei tugged at her mother's hand, and Aunt Zhou stepped forward to salute.

"Master Zhiyi, I'm sorry to disturb you, my husband's family name is Murong. These days, my daughter is sick and lives in Xiangguo Temple. Thanks to the medicine given by Master Zhiyi, she is cured now. I want to fulfill my wish."

Aunt Zhou frowned slightly, thinking of donating the 3000 taels of silver, she didn't have money in hand, what should I do?
"It turned out to be Mrs. Murong. If that's why you are madam, you don't have to be polite. It's just..." The abbot seemed to think of something, and his eyes were fixed. "Madam, there seems to be something wrong? I don't know if you feel unwell? Do you want to call the slaves to take you back?" ?”

Murong Wei was stunned, and secretly said that the old monk was very powerful, and he could see a lot of things from just a few words.

The surname is Murong in the capital, and there has been a lot of trouble recently due to falling into the water and getting sick, and the only ones living in Xiangguo Temple are the concubine and young lady of Murong's family.But it was obviously unreasonable to take out so much money all at once. He might have guessed something because he saw Aunt Zhou's expression was not right, and knew that the other party definitely wanted something.

The old monk asked them if they wanted to go back, obviously because he didn't want to get involved in the internal strife of the big family.

"The master is indeed an eminent monk. My mother is indeed a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the master practiced exorcism for my mother. Although my mother has a heart for the Buddha, she can't escape into Buddhism. She can only offer three thousand incense. I will make a lot of offerings in the future. We built a Buddhist hall at home to pay homage to the Bodhisattva in the morning and evening. Today is the first day of the new year, and we are here to listen to the master's lecture. Please allow us to listen to the true meaning of the Buddha."

After saying that, he bent down and bowed, Master Zhizhi heard what she said, so he had no choice but to give him a hand, "Miss is serious, please wait in the hall, you two have a heart for Buddha, I know."

Originally, he didn't want to get involved in these matters, but the young lady was too smart, she said that she gave so much incense, but only asked him to prove that they were all listening to the scriptures today, which made it difficult for him to refuse.

"Thank you Master." Murong Wei helped her mother to leave.

Aunt Zhou stared at her daughter in a daze, until her daughter took out the bank note, handed it to the monk, and said something to the little novice, and saw that the little novice had left, she did not speak. "Weier, you have changed, are you really my daughter?"

Murong Wei thought to herself that I am indeed not your daughter, but now that I am your daughter, I have to be filial to others.

She sighed: "Mother, I know what you want to say. In fact, after I walked through the gate of hell, I wanted to open it. Living like that before was really boring, so my daughter decided to start again and live for herself in the future. I didn't expect It was a blessing in disguise, and I no longer stutter. This is probably what the book says, but it’s a blessing in disguise.”

Aunt Zhou looked at her daughter carefully as if she had never seen her before. She didn't know whether to be relieved or sad for a while, she covered her face and cried: "It's useless to be a mother, and you have been wronged. Well, from now on, you can take it easy Well, stop thinking about those who can't climb."

When Murong Wei, mother and daughter were listening to the scriptures, there was a wonderful scene happening in the West Garden.

"Is this what you asked me to see? Good, good!" Murong Duan asked with a gloomy face, staring at the sleeping woman lying in front of the Buddha statue.

The big housekeeper at the side wiped off his cold sweat, stepped forward and slapped the two wives hard with one hand.

"Where are the fourth aunt and the third girl?" He winked at the two women, but Zhang's mother didn't pay attention to his expression at all, and yelled in fright: "It's haunted, the third girl is gone!"

The other Mama Sun was vigilant. At this moment, the master who was watching appeared, but Aunt Zhou and the third girl disappeared. She immediately knew that something was wrong.

"It's haunted, why did Fourth Aunt and Third Miss disappear?" Mama Sun looked overly frightened.

Murong Duan kicked her away, annoyed: "Say, what's going on?"
