Although Mrs. Zeng sometimes likes to put on airs and act according to circumstances, she is not a foolish person.

It is easy to see the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with the little ghosts. She offended the receptionist yesterday and also had a conflict with the Taoist nun Hui'an. If she wants to ask the temple master for help, she must first get in touch with the two little ghosts who are blocking her way before there will be any hope.

In just a moment, Hui'an came hurriedly with two members of the Discipline Hall, holding long sticks.

Before entering the hall, he raised his voice:

"Who dares to act wildly in my Cihang Temple?"

Madam Zeng was about to explain, but she was stunned.

She remembered that yesterday, the Taoist nun Hui'an had a very scary long scar on her face. Why was it gone today?

Without the hideous long scar, this Taoist nun Hui'an actually had a good-looking face. Although her skin was not white enough, she had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked more heroic than ordinary women.

Seeing that Old Madam Zeng was staring at her in a daze, Hui'an pretended not to see it and continued to say with a frown:

"You again! I warned you yesterday..."

Old Madam Zeng came to her senses and realized that the other party had misunderstood her. She did not dare to distract herself and pay attention to Hui'an's face. She quickly repeated her explanation to Huiyun.

Then he said to the old lady named Cuiyu:

"It's all because of you, old man. Your rude words and actions yesterday almost caused a misunderstanding between me and the Taoist priests!"

The nanny had been told this before, and upon hearing this, she immediately knelt down with a sad face and slapped herself in the face:

"Masters, I was blind and offended you. I know I was wrong! I will accept the punishment if you want me to be beaten. I just ask you to calm down and stop having a grudge against my old lady!"

Madam Zeng also said:

"It's all because of my poor discipline. Now I will let the Taoist priests deal with this old slave. I have no complaints!"

Then he stuffed two purses into Huiyun and Huian's hands:

"This is just a token of my apology. I hope the Taoist priests will not despise it!"

Huiyun and Huian each took a step back, avoiding each other's purses.

Huiyun said, "Madam, there is a rule in our temple that disciples cannot accept money or property from pilgrims privately!"

Madam Qin, who was watching the excitement, stepped forward to testify:

"That's right, let alone you, even the Taoist priests refused to accept the gifts I gave them!"

"What should we do then..." Old Madam Zeng was a little at a loss.

"Well, what happened yesterday was just some misunderstandings, it's not a big deal. Since the old lady already knows she was wrong, let it go."

Huiyun softened her tone.

Although it is necessary to establish authority over those unruly pilgrims, Cihang Temple is a secluded place after all, and it is not good to be too fussy about an old woman, as it will make people feel that you have no compassion.

Since the other party was willing to humble himself and apologize, Huiyun naturally chose to go along with it.

After all, there aren’t enough pilgrims nowadays, and it’s not really about pushing people out.

Old Madam Zeng gave the old maid a look, and the old maid stopped and thanked Huiyun Hui'an with tears of gratitude.

Madam Zeng was uneasy because she hadn't given away anything. She suddenly had an idea and said:

"Since Taoist priests are not allowed to accept money and property privately, I will donate all of this to your temple as incense money!"

However, she still failed to deliver the item.

Because Huiyun told her:

"No, our temple does not accept these mundane things. If believers want to worship Cihang Zhenren and the temple master, they need to prepare offerings according to the number of the five elements."

Madam Zeng quickly asked:

"Please give me some advice from the Taoist priest."

"The five elements of offerings are top-grade gold, tea, wine, wax, and jade."

Madam Zeng was secretly annoyed that the old lady from the Qin family didn't even remind her of such an important matter, but she said respectfully:

"Next time I come, I will prepare the offerings as requested!"

Huiyun emphasized again:

"It's good that you have this intention. But I need to remind the old lady that the rules of the temple will not be changed just because you worship Master Cihang."

Madam Zeng thought to herself that the threshold of Cihang Temple was really too high, but she did not dare to show any concern on her face and responded repeatedly:
