Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 52 Mrs. Xiao Jin
Shi Yiqing followed the guiding monk back to the Zen room, and found that Yinxiu was the only one fidgeting in the room, and asked in surprise, "Yinxiu, where are Jianliu and Mo Xian? Why aren't you here?"

Yinxiu rushed forward and looked at Shi Yiqing with concern and concern. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he was relieved and almost cried: "Miss, how could you scare us like this? Do you know, Mo Xian You ran back in a panic, saying that you were taken away by a stranger, and now your whereabouts are unknown, which almost scared Nanny Xu into fainting! Miss, are you okay? Are you okay? They didn't make things difficult for you, did they! "

Shi Yiqing smiled embarrassingly, and was placed on a wooden chair by Yinxiu, and said comfortingly: "I'm fine, I just went to have a look, I didn't expect you guys to make it so big. Go and get Madam Xu Call them back, don't make them too anxious."

Yinxiu said worriedly: "But, miss, is it okay for you to be alone in the house? I see that Fahua Temple doesn't seem very safe. Miss, why don't we go back to Shi's house now, I will I'm really worried!"

"There's nothing to worry about, I'm a little girl, what can they do to me? Don't worry, besides, there are so many monks guarding the courtyard here, everything will be fine. Go and call them all back, I There is something I need Madam Xu to do."

Seeing that Shi Yiqing couldn't be persuaded, Yin Xiu thought that it would be better if Madam Xu came back to persuade him, so he agreed and went out, and hurriedly went to find Madam Xu.

After Yinxiu left, Shi Yiqing got up and closed the door tightly, and then opened the file hidden in her bosom. Just as she glanced at it briefly, she was shocked to find that the file was densely packed with many things about The criminal evidence of the Yang family of the third wife Yang's mother's family, among which several charges clearly pointed out that the Yang family was suspected of defecting to the enemy and treason.This is a big or small matter. If it is small, Zuo is just using the banner of the imperial court to spy on the enemy country. If it is big, it will harm the nine clans. At that time, even the Shi family can escape. , I'm afraid Shi Jingran's future will be ruined.

With a pale face, she rewrapped the file, got up and opened the door to Madam Xu's room, found a package and hid it.

Who is that mysterious person, why did he give her such an important thing, or in other words, why did he put her in such a dangerous situation.Is it the Yang family's enemy, or, her enemy?
A voice came from outside the courtyard, Shi Yiqing carefully hid the package, tidied up his clothes calmly, then got up and pushed open the door, walked to the door, and opened the courtyard door that was concealed.A bald nun stood at the door, followed by the servants of the Xiao family, looking at Shi Yiqing with different expressions.

The little nun clasped her hands together and said calmly: "Miss Shi, the abbot is very relieved to hear that the lady came to the temple to pray for the family. It just so happens that Mrs. Xiao is here, and I would like to invite the lady to the monastery for a talk."

Shi Yiqing let out a sigh of relief to himself, already able to think of Xiao Yongqi's quick mouth, which couldn't hide anything, but his face was full of innocence, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's ask little master to lead the way."

Not caring about waiting for Madam Xu to come back, Shi Yiqing had no choice but to be escorted by the servants of the Xiao family to Abbot Xu Huai's monastery. She was worried that people who could not see her in the courtyard would be I became anxious, and I couldn't find Mother Xu right now, so I had to say to the little nun: "Little Master, I have something to ask. It's like this, the people who wanted to come to my yard are probably all back now, if you look If you don't see me, I'm afraid you will search Fahua Temple to the bottom. I hope that the little master can help you, go back to my Zen courtyard, and tell them not to worry, I am safe here with the presiding abbot. By the way, if you look I want to see my nanny, and I hope you can tell her that the willow leaf in her package looks very good, if you can, please ask her to sew one for me."

Seeing that the little nun agreed, Shi Yiqing tidied up her makeup and walked into the monastery behind the maid who greeted her with a disturbed heartbeat.Shi Yiqing knew that Abbot Huanhuai was highly respected, and he must be quite old, but he never expected that even his eyebrows would be white, and she couldn't help being stunned when she saw it, almost breaking the etiquette.

The modest abbot who was sitting on the futon saw a young woman in plain clothes stepping in slowly, with a kind smile on his brows, he said, "I think you are Miss Shi Si that Mrs. Xiao often talks about?"

Shi Yiqing lowered his eyes and held his breath, leaned over to salute, and said softly: "I have seen the abbot."

Abbot Xu Huai stroked his long snow-white beard and smiled: "You don't need to be too polite here, you should have met Mrs. Xiao."

Shi Yiqing quickly corrected his posture, saluted Mrs. Xiao who was sitting beside her, and said, "Qing'er pays respects to aunt, please greet her."

Mrs. Xiao nodded with a calm smile, and said softly: "Qing'er, you and I are both guests at the abbot's place. Since we are guests, we can follow the owner's wishes and don't need so much courtesy. Come on, Auntie Come here and let my aunt take a good look."

Shi Yiqing obediently walked in front of Mrs. Xiao, lowering her cheeks shyly and timidly, causing Mrs. Xiao and Abbot Xu to laugh heartily.

Mrs. Xiao took Shi Yiqing's hand and said: "It's been so many years, see you now, you've grown so big. Well, look at this appearance, it's really a girl who has changed a lot, and the more she changes, the better she looks."

The abbot with humility smiled more and more kindly: "Miss Fourth looks more and more lively. I just saw that she looks a bit like a young lady."

Shi Yiqing concealed the complicated look in his eyes with a shy appearance.This vacuous abbot is not a talkative person, and Mrs. Xiao will not appear in front of her for no reason, let alone mention Shi Xuanfu, the third lady of the Shi family. I think there must be something going on here. It's something she doesn't know.

Just, what is this matter?

Mrs. Xiao looked at Shi Yiqing carefully, nodded her head in agreement, and said: "The abbot is absolutely right, seeing that these two are real sisters, Fu'er had such a stunning appearance when she was Qing'er's age. Very similar."

Then, Mrs. Xiao placed Shi Yiqing by her side, and said with compassion: "Qing'er, I've heard about your affairs. Although you have had a very bad life these years, you are still being punished by the third master." Bringing it back, it's the end of all hardships. But, why did you come to Fahua Temple again, and I didn't expect Mrs. Shi to let you go?"

Shi Yiqing lowered his eyes and replied softly: "After Qing'er returned home, he saw that his grandmother was not in good health, so he invited him to Fahua Temple to pray for his grandmother, so that she can live a long life."

Abbot Xu Huai nodded in agreement, and said: "I have heard from sister Huixin about the fourth young lady. She said that the fourth young lady once practiced at Linxian's Jingxin junior sister, and she is also a lay disciple of my Buddha. She is proficient in Buddhism and morality. , looking at it now, it's really important to be filial."

While talking, a messenger monk came up outside the door, clasped his hands together and said, "Report to the abbot, the third prince has something to ask to see the abbot."

Abbot Xu Huai nodded with a complicated expression, stood up and said with a smile, "In that case, I will go ahead and excuse me."

Mrs. Xiao got up to send Abbot Xu Huai away, slightly suppressed the false smile on her face, turned back to the chair, took a sip from the tea bowl, then turned her eyes to look at Shi Yiqing who was silent beside her, and said slowly: "Just now Xiao Qi said that he saw you, I wonder if Qing'er saw Xiao Qi?"

Shi Yiqing nodded with a humble attitude and said: "Returning to Mrs. Xiao, Qing'er just lost his way in the yard, and it was Miss Seven who showed Qing'er the way."

Mrs. Xiao smiled coldly: "Is that so? Shi Yiqing, are you good at making up nonsense, and you dare to play tricks in front of me? Let me ask you, why do you want to provoke Xiao Qi again and again? Are you not afraid that she will beat you?" You?"

"Qing'er is naturally afraid of Miss Seven's fist, but Qing'er is even more afraid of Mrs. Xiao."

"Oh?" Madam Xiao smiled disdainfully, put the tea bowl in her hand on the table, and said in a deep voice, "I'm not a tigress, why are you afraid of me?"

Shi Yiqing raised his eyes slightly to look at Mrs. Xiao, and his cold voice drifted away with the gust of wind blowing in from the window: "Mrs. Xiao is naturally not a tigress, but Mrs. Xiao is the real aunt of Sister Qing'er. Even if Qing'er is a jerk, she won't know The etiquette should not make Mrs. Xiao angry, and make trouble for the elder sister who is far away in the frontier."

"You are quite considerate of your eldest sister, but she may not miss you. If so, why do you bother?"

"Eldest sister is kind to Qing'er in nurturing her, and she is Qing'er's closest relative in this world. Qing'er doesn't want to make things difficult for elder sister because of me." Shi Yiqing stood up slowly, walked to Mrs. Xiao and knelt down, "If Qing'er offends Miss Seven, I hope Mrs. Xiao will punish her."

Mrs. Xiao lowered her eyelashes and played with the gemstone ring on her finger. She looked up at Shi Yiqing who was on the ground coldly, and said with a sneer, "Punishment? You were not born by me, let alone the Xiao family. Can I punish you? That's all." , I'm too lazy to care about the affairs between you little girls, and you don't need to say anything more, I know better than you what kind of temperament Xiao Yongqi is. It's okay, get up. "

Shi Yiqing leaned over to thank him, and stood by the side with courtesy.Mrs. Xiao looked up at Shi Yiqing, and said slowly: "I have been away for many years, and I have suffered so much suffering. Now that I am back home, it will not be easy for you, right? If that is the case, why would you rather go to the Fahua Temple? How leisurely are you here, and you don't want to go to the Xiao family to complain to your grandmother? But you have to know, just because your biological mother came out of the Xiao family, the county lord can't ignore you. "

"Returning to Mrs. Xiao, Qing'er has never suffered in the Shi family, and it is not too leisurely to come to Fahua Temple. Naturally, Qing'er does not need to complain and cry in front of the county lord."

Mrs. Xiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Shi Yiqing in amazement, and said with a trace of annoyance, "It seems that I am meddling in my own business. Forget it, I don't want to meddle in your affairs, lest I be treated like a donkey again."

Shi Yiqing raised her drooping eyelashes, and said softly: "Mrs. Xiao said one thing at Xiao's house, not only because of her family background, but also because of her means of planning. Even the county head has to obey Mrs. Xiao's words. If that's the case, why should Qing'er Why don't you go to the county lord and cry in front of the county lord?"

Mrs. Xiao was really surprised: "How do you know that I will be soft-hearted and help you?"

Shi Yiqing pulled her lips and smiled slightly: "Mrs. Xiao, aren't you just helping me now?"
