First wife's original manuscript

Chapter 95

In this life, Zeng Rou came from a low background, and she couldn't learn a high-end and precious style of behavior. As long as Xu Danniang can return to the position of a flat wife, what does it matter if Zeng Rou is called ruthless and vicious?

The original owner was so gentle that she was affectionate and righteous, but she was suffocated to death by Xu Danniang's soft knife.

Zeng Rou smiled and thought, how should she torture Xu Danniang?
"I have to go see the host master."

Zeng Rou asked the little novice to lead the way to the meditation room presided over by Jialan Temple.

Kneeling in the meditation room, Zeng Rou looked at the portrait of Buddha hanging on the wall, "The believer wants to practice penance in Jialan Temple, so as to wash away the miserliness in her body."

"Amitabha, why should the benefactor be obsessed with hatred?"

The presiding abbot saw Zeng Rou's plan, and he even saw the complacency on Zeng Rou's lips.

Jialan Temple has a high status in Zen Buddhism, and the presiding abbot is highly respected. He is known as Zen No. 1. If he talks about Duhua Zeng Rou... Zeng Rou has enough reasons to stay in Jialan Temple.

Every day Zeng Rou is in Jialan Temple, Xu Danniang will suffer every day.

The presiding abbot was unwilling to pay attention to the affairs of the world, and said: "Enemies should be resolved rather than tied, and female benefactors should be forgiving and forgiving."

"It's not that I am obsessed with hatred or that I refuse to forgive Xu Danniang." Seeing this, Zeng Rou no longer concealed her purpose, "Could it be that they are right to commit crimes and persecute honest people who can't speak? Don't tell me about reincarnation, The Buddha made them suffer in the next life, and in the next life... even if they atone for their sins in this life, I can't see it! The resentment in my heart is still there, and my son's hatred is incomprehensible. By driving out of the Garan Temple, isn’t it a failure to live up to the teachings of the Buddha to save all sentient beings?”

"Amitabha, the poor monk is not virtuous enough, it is really difficult to enlighten the stinginess in the eyebrows and eyes of the female benefactor."

"Master, if you don't give it a try, how will you know you can't give me enlightenment? The Buddha in the past was able to cut meat and feed it to eagles, why couldn't Master take me in for a while?"

"The Buddhist nature of the female benefactor is higher than that of the poor monk in terms of life and death. The poor monk is not qualified to enlighten the female benefactor."

The presiding abbot, with gray eyebrows and beard and a solemn face, chanted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, Jialan Temple is a place outside the world of mortals, and it is not appropriate to interfere too much in the secular world of mortals..."

Zeng Rou raised her eyebrows, knowing that Jialan Temple didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters between her, Xu Cifu and Yang Yi.

monk?As long as you haven't cultivated to become a Buddha, you still have scruples. The entire Zen sect is not limited to Jialan Temple, and the abbot of Jialan Temple cannot do without the support of secular forces.

"Master doesn't like me, right?" Zeng Rou raised the corners of her lips, "You think I'm overthinking my abilities and doing stupid things like ants shaking trees!"

"Amitabha, the poor monk dare not underestimate the female benefactor. The poor monk can rise up from adversity. The poor monk deeply admires the female benefactor. The poor monk advises the female benefactor not just because of fear of someone or something, but because of Too much resentment, carelessness and missed the opportunity of reunion... The poor monk will feel sorry for the female benefactor."

The presiding abbot spoke sincerely, "I would like to ask the benefactor to consider a thing or two. A step back might as well be a step forward."

Zeng Rou smiled and said, "Reunited after a broken mirror? Me and Yang Yi? Since Master thinks so, it seems that I have to stay in Jialan Temple for a while longer."

"Why?"

"Let the master understand my temperament. The mirror is broken, and there are cracks when it sticks together."

Zeng Rou didn't feel embarrassed at all, and knelt up straight, "Abbot Zen Master also said just now that my Buddha-nature is superior to yours. To tell you the truth, I don't cultivate this life, nor will I cultivate the next life. The Buddha-nature in me is really It’s a waste, I wonder if these few Buddhist scriptures can be accommodated by Master?”

Pushing a cloth bag to the abbot Zen Master, Zeng Rou continued: "My Buddha is merciful, please take a look at the master website."

The abbot of Jialan Temple couldn't help opening the cloth bag out of curiosity, and flipped through the Buddhist scriptures inside. The abbot's eyes widened, "Amitabha, Amitabha, how did the female benefactor get the long-lost Buddhist scriptures?"

"The secret cannot be leaked."

Zeng Rou also nodded, "Amitabha, I can't see the Buddha's nature, but no one in this world understands past and present lives better than me, and understands reincarnation. The Buddha made me suffer from reincarnation. I think it's because of the scumbags in this world. Because of too many resentful women, I can't save all the unfortunate women, but I can at least keep a trace of righteousness in the world. It's not a big deal for me to be forced to death, how many Zeng Rou will there be in the future? People don’t necessarily have to be today.”

"That's all the words of the believer girl. Please forgive me if there are any inadequacies."

"Amitabha."

The abbot of Jialan Temple nodded, lowered his eyelids and said, "Is it okay for the poor monk to ask the benefactor to copy the scriptures? With the understanding of the benefactor, the poor monk is really not qualified to resolve your grievances, and leave everything to the Buddha."

"Thank you, Master."

After Zeng Rou bowed to the abbot, she walked out of the meditation hall. Threats, bribes, thick skins, all three are indispensable. As long as there is a legitimate reason to stay in Jialan Temple, Zeng Rou can play until Xu Danniang collapses!
Even if Xu Danniang can gain the sympathy of the emperor and queen mother through her weakness, so what?

Zhuge Yun will be back!

It is still uncertain who will be the emperor at that time.

When Xu Danniang came to the foot of the Jialan Temple Mountain, no matter how well she spoke in front of Xu Cifu and others, or how much she didn't care about Zeng Rou's humiliation to her, she would feel embarrassed when things came to an end!No one wants to kneel down, and Xu Danniang has always stood straighter than all the girls in the world!

In the current situation, she had no choice but to kneel down.

It's not that she has never been to Jialan Temple. When she walks normally, she doesn't feel how far it is from the foot of Jialan Temple to the entrance of Jialan Temple.

Xu Danniang looked up at the Buddhist temple built in the middle of the mountain, and bit her pale lips. With Zeng Rou's temperament, if she asked why she would return home, it would be equivalent to bringing shame on herself!Why not take advantage of the many pilgrims coming to Jialan Temple, she...

With a plop, Xu Danniang knelt on the mountain road, and the pilgrims who came and went stopped to watch. Someone knew Xu Danniang, and said to the people next to him: "See, she is Yang Shilang's wife and Xu Cifu's beloved daughter."

"What is she going to do?"

"I heard that he is begging Yang Shilang's wife to return to the Zhuangyuan Mansion."

"Why does she kowtow step by step? How did she offend Yang Shilang's first wife? Didn't they say that their relationship is like sisters?"

"Are you stupid? Have you ever seen a wife and concubine in the back house who are really like sisters?"

Xu Danniang knelt down and kowtowed, got up, knelt down, and got up again, but after a dozen steps, she felt that she had lost all face, her knees and forehead were burning and uncomfortable, and the whispering of the people next to her made Xu Danniang even more painful. Kowtowing her head, Xu Danniang cursed Zeng Rou in her heart, that she must die!Every time she takes a step forward, she keeps telling herself that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

The discussion among the pilgrims became louder and louder. Although some felt that Zeng Rou was too harsh, more people gossip about what did Danniang Xu do to make Zeng Rou torment her so much?
No first wife would easily toss a concubine, if Xu Danniang hadn't annoyed Zeng Rou, Zeng Rou wouldn't have lived in Jialan Temple.

The power of gossip cannot be underestimated, nor can the speed of rumors be ignored. Xu Danniang has not kowtowed to Jialan Temple yet, the rumors about Zeng Rou and Xu Danniang have spread widely, and the rumors are very close to the truth.

Of course, there are many people among them who fell into trouble and took revenge on the noble concubine Xu Danniang. There were also Xu Cifu's political opponents who took this opportunity to stigmatize Xu Cifu, and even Yang Yi fueled the flames. The cause and effect of prison!
He sacrificed his son for the sake of justice, but his son's sacrifice brought Xu Cifu a promotion, and Xu Cifu even dared to pretend to be a child.

When the Xu family was strong, the wives would not blame her for the things Xu Danniang did, even if everyone knew what was going on.

But right now, Xu Cifu thinks behind closed doors. Princess Changling lives in the palace and does not see her son-in-law Xu Chaoyang. , who wants to be surrounded by multiple wives who are high enough in status and hypocritical in means?

A flat wife appeared today because of Yang Yi's shoulder, what will they do if they encounter such a thing tomorrow?
Ping Wife shouldn't have appeared at all!
The spectators were not afraid of serious problems, and even wished that the bigger the situation, the better. They hoped that Zeng Rou would show her sharpness in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, and completely step down Danniang Xu, and give an unforgettable warning to women who want to be equal wives in the future!

The lawyers who have been taught by Zeng Rouen have also contributed a little bit. They are the people who have studied the law most thoroughly, and they are also a group of famous scholars who can write letters to the emperor.

They got together, wrote a memorial, and wrote it to the emperor, saying that a flat wife is definitely not in accordance with the etiquette, and that a flat wife must be a concubine!Not to be a wife!
What they said was well-founded and well-founded, and the emperor had a headache for a long time after receiving the papers... After all, it was the Queen Mother's order, the emperor really couldn't help demoting Xu Danniang as a concubine!
No matter what, he had to take into account the face of his son-in-law and daughter, so the emperor secretly ordered his servants to let Zeng Rou almost do it, and at the same time asked Danniang Xu to hurry up and invite Zeng Rou back to the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

As long as Zeng Rou returns to Zhuangyuan's Mansion, the turmoil will naturally subside.

The emperor clearly issued an edict stating that the etiquette of the Sui Dynasty would not recognize flat wives from now on!As for Xu Danniang who is already a flat wife, the emperor seems to have forgotten it on purpose, but this imperial decree also shows that the flat wife will not be recognized again, that is to say, even if Xu Danniang is still a flat wife, it is not recognized in etiquette, and she has a concubine. What's the difference?
Xu Danniang finally kowtowed to Jialan Temple step by step, her forehead was already bleeding, silver red blood flowed along her pale cheeks, she looked extremely embarrassed, her knees were so red and swollen that she couldn't even stand up.
