Chapter 9

That night, when Mrs. Shen heard the news from Guanshi Yu, she was stunned. Biyun Nunnery was suddenly caught in a fire last night, and everyone from top to bottom was buried in the sea of ​​flames.When she heard the news, she was not stunned by the misfortune of all those people, but was stunned by the suddenness and coincidence of this incident.

"Why did Hao Duan Duan catch fire, and no one survived?" Mrs. Shen asked in disbelief.

"Go back to Madam, when I went to look for someone, I saw that the people from the government had searched Biyun Nunnery inside and out. It was a scorched earth, and no one survived!" Guanshi Yu also felt lingering fear when he remembered the scene of the last time he went. The memory is still fresh, but this time it was a piece of scorched earth and ruins. "I heard from people in the government that the cotton cloth was ignited by the candlelight overturned at night, and it was windy last night, so..."

It is late spring, everything is green, even if there is wind, the humidity is so heavy, how could it all be burned all at once, Mrs. Shen thinks it is unreasonable. "You go down first, don't tell anyone about this!" Mrs. Shen suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she sent Guan Yu to go down first.

"Mother Zhu, hurry up, come with me to Izumo Pavilion!" Suddenly, Mrs. Shen stood up and said, she wanted to see how Shen Qingzi reacted to this matter, she always felt something was wrong in her heart.

Shen Qingyao was already about to fall asleep, her blue hair drooped like a waterfall, and she also changed into white pajamas. Suddenly, Cui He led Mrs. Shen to the door.Her eyes were heavy, this Cuihe didn't pay attention to her as the master at all, instead she always put Mrs. Shen and Miss Second first!Shen Qingzi felt a little displeased in her heart, but the displeasure flashed across her face.

"Qingzi, something serious happened!" Mrs. Shen rushed into Shen Qingzi's bedroom in a hurry without thinking about anything.

Shen Qingzi was puzzled on the face, seeing Mrs. Shen's expression, she didn't seem to be intimidating at all, and she didn't care about being rude, so she stepped forward and asked: "What is mother talking about?"

"I just got the news from the government that the Biyun nunnery caught fire last night, and there is no survivor!" Mrs. Shen said with some distress, her eyes fell on Shen Qingzi's face, as if she wanted to observe all of Shen Qingzi's expressions.

Shen Qingzi froze on the spot, then staggered, and fortunately, Qiuyue beside her was quick to support her. "Biyun Temple is on fire..." Shen Qingzi had a shocked expression on her face, and her words trembled, "There is no survivor..." As if she couldn't believe it, she looked at Mrs. Shen with disbelief and horror in her eyes...

Mrs. Shen was staring at Shen Qingzi's expression, and she was sure that Shen Qingzi didn't know anything about this matter. "Qingzi, after all, this is the place where you have lived for 13 years. Mother knew this and came to tell you immediately. You must mourn!" Mrs. Shen stepped forward to hold Shen Qingzi's hands, and said comfortingly, she could feel it. Shen Qingzi's body was trembling, as if she was frightened.

"How is it possible, how is this possible..." Shen Qingzi murmured in a daze, her complexion turned pale, her eyes turned red, but she didn't shed tears right away.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Shen pulled the person onto her body, let Shen Qingzi lean on her shoulder, held her hand with one hand, and stroked her back with the other, and comforted her: "Qingzi, things in this world are unpredictable. , No one wants this kind of thing to happen suddenly, mother knows you are sad, but you must take care of yourself!"

"Woo~" Shen Qingzi sobbed in a low voice, "Masters are very kind to Qingzi, how could such a thing happen suddenly!"

"Don't cry, all the masters in the spirit of the sky will not bear to see you so sad, it's getting late at night, Qingzi, get some rest!" Mrs. Shen said a few words of comfort, then signaled Cuihe to help Shen Qing go. posture.She had already confirmed that Shen Qingzi was really sad, and the goal tonight had been achieved, but she still felt strange in her heart, that is to say, the only person who knew about Shen Qingzi's past 13 years was Nanny Zhuang!Subconsciously glanced at Nanny Zhuang at the side, and saw that the latter was still in a daze, as if she was also stunned by the tragedy of Biyun Nunnery.

"Cuihe, send mother off!" Shen Qingzi wiped her tears with her sleeves, her words were choked up.

Mrs. Shen comforted her a few more words, and finally left. Zhong Qiuyue and Madam Zhuang helped Shen Qingzi sit down on the bed.

"Qiuyue, go and rest first, Nanny, talk to me!" Shen Qingzi choked up and said.

Qiuyue thought that Missy was sad for the teachers and wives of Biyun Temple, and Nanny Zhuang was the one who grew up with Missy in Biyun Temple, so she said, "Missy, don't be too sad, servant girl Retire first!"

After Qiuyue left, Shen Qingzi signaled Nanny Zhuang to close the door.Madam Zhuang was also uneasy, because none of the people in Biyun Nunnery survived, so such a coincidence should not happen.She has a ghost in her heart, no one related to the eldest lady is here, she is the only one left!
"Do you think I did it?" Shen Qingzi's voice became cold, she saw the fear in Zhuang Nanny's eyes, so she guessed what Zhuang Nanny was thinking!

"Slaves don't dare!" Nanny Zhuang was chilled and terrified.

"I never thought about letting anyone die. I just let you send her away before. It's them, so cruel!" Shen Qingzi sat on the edge of the bed and pulled up the bed sheet. She was sure who it was. .

"Miss, I..." Madam Zhuang was thinking that she was afraid, afraid that it would be her turn next.

Shen Qingzi looked at Nanny Zhuang coldly, and said in a low voice: "If you don't want to be like them, just stay by my side. As long as you help me, I will protect you! Otherwise..."

Nanny Zhuang trembled, Shen Qingzi's eyes were so cold that she felt chills in her heart, those eyes were not like what a girl of her age would have at all. "Your servant understands!" Nanny Zhuang replied with a trembling voice, so many lives in Biyun Nunnery can be lost at once, so what about her, how can she protect herself!
After going to bed at night, Shen Qingzi was lying on the bed, feeling restless. She felt a sense of guilt and guilt. There are actually many ways to shut up the people in Biyun Nunnery. Why did she choose such a tragic method.In the quiet night, she was doomed to have trouble sleeping. She thought that her heart was as hard as iron, but she still couldn't truly ignore her, and she was even more angry!Those people said they came to help her, but did she agree to all these things? Suddenly, she realized that she should have her own person. This maid of the Shen family belongs to the Shen family. Mammy is not completely reliable, she wants to belong to her!
When she woke up the next day, Shen Qingzi's complexion was obviously not good, and the darkness under her eyes seemed to show that she hadn't slept all night.Seeing this, Cui He, who was dressing her up, asked aloud, "Miss, do you feel sorry for the masters of Biyun Nunnery?"

"Can I not be sad, after all, that is the place where I have lived for 13 years. The masters in the nunnery treat me very well on weekdays, how can there be such a disaster..." Shen Qingzi said with a very depressed and sad look.

"Miss, each person has his own fate, since it has already happened, don't be sad!" Nurse Zhuang on the side gave Cuihe a look, as if complaining that it was too bad for Cuihe to mention this early in the morning!
"Miss is the most kind-hearted, Cuihe, which pot are you not opening and which pot you are carrying!" Qiuyue also complained, seeing the sad look on Shen Qingzi's face, she blamed Cuihe even more in her heart.

Cuihe hurriedly said in fear: "It's all my fault for my servant's talkativeness, which offended the eldest lady. It's my servant's fault, please forgive me!"

Shen Qingzi shook her head and said: "It's not your fault, I want to copy more scriptures for the masters to comfort their spirits in heaven, it's really too miserable!" Shen Qingzi's words were still trembling, as if she hadn't recovered from the blow.

Cuihe observed Shen Qingzi's expression, the lady specifically told her to take good care of the eldest lady, although she didn't know why, but she didn't dare to neglect her at all.

When it was time to pay her respects in Qinghui Garden, Shen Qingzi's expression was still depressed, and at the same time, she also found that Shen Qingyao, the second young lady of the Shen family, and Shen Zizhan, her son-in-law, were also there a few days ago.She only glanced at it, and said with a gloomy expression, "Qing Zi pays homage to Grandpa!"

"Sister looks bad, did something happen?" Shen Qingyao said intentionally.

"Grandpa..." Shen Qingzi looked at old Mrs. Shen, her eyes turned red, and she told the bad news Mrs. Shen told her last night.

Seeing Shen Qingzi's appearance, Old Master Shen hurriedly comforted him: "Girl Qing, life and death are fateful, so don't be sad."

"That's right, sister, this is an accident, you are so sad, the spirits of the masters are also in trouble!" Shen Qingyao comforted in a hurry.

"It's really strange, why did Biyun Nunnery catch fire when my sister came back?" Shen Zizhan spoke like a child, and the crisp words of this nine-year-old child were very loud.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense!" Shen Qingyao hurriedly pulled Shen Zizhan, and said to Old Master Shen and Shen Qingzi apologetically: "Grandpa, sister, brother is still young, so he said something wrong when he is ignorant!"

Old Mrs. Shen frowned, glanced at Shen Zizhan, then waved his hands and said, "Go back first, girl Qing stay here!"

Shen Qingyao glanced at Shen Qingzi jealously, and after only a few days back, Grandpa treated her like a treasure.Today, her mother taught her to say these words. You must know that when Shen Qingzi was five years old, an expert said that she had a strange fate, and that if she lived with her family before, she would be overwhelmed to death.Now that he has returned to Shen's house, something will happen to Biyun nunnery, can he be so wicked?
Old Mrs. Shen didn't care so much. Seeing Shen Qingzi's teary eyes, she felt very sad, and comforted her: "Girl Qing, everyone is gone. It's useless for you to be sad. Wipe away your tears quickly. Others still say that Grandpa is bullying you." What about you!"

Shen Qingzi wiped the corners of her eyes slightly, looked at Old Master Shen and said, "Grandfather, is Qingzi really an unknown person, otherwise, how could such a thing happen?" Shen Zizhan's unintentional words just now reminded her of the Biyun nunnery came for thirteen years.

"Nonsense, this accident has nothing to do with you, don't listen to other people's nonsense!" Old Mrs. Shen said with a straight face, this is nonsense, he knows the reason for sending him to Biyun Nunnery, it was just an excuse!

"But Grandpa, Qingzi is really afraid that she will be unknown, if..." Shen Qingzi said with a weak posture.

"Hmph, Zhao mother, pay more attention to me these few days. If you hear anyone chewing their tongues, you will slap your mouth. If you dare to say that my precious granddaughter is unknown, are you tired of work?" Old Mrs. Shen He sternly ordered Mother Zhao who was at the side.

"Yes, this servant must pay attention!" Zhao Mama said hurriedly.

Shen Qingzi made up her mind, she doesn't care about rumors or anything, but, instead of letting others talk about it, it's better to act first! "Grandpa, Qingzi wants to copy scriptures for the masters in the nunnery so as to save their souls to return to heaven, so she won't be able to copy scriptures for grandpa in the next few days!"

"Silly girl, your heart is so kind!" Old Master Shen sighed, feeling more and more that Shen Qingzi resembled his deceased wife.
