Chapter 279 Do You Know - Xiao Qinshi 6

"Wen Shu, I know what you want to say, but things are beyond our control. Some things will have to be given up sooner or later." Knowing that the clerk was worried, Qin Wanrong quickly explained: "Don't worry, if I really have to give up your young lady, I won't be so stupid as to give up everything. I have already hidden all those things that can be hidden, so don't worry!"

"Really? That's great. Even if the Marquis and his wife are shameless enough to take our young lady's things, at least they can leave some for her." The clerk didn't know why her young lady insisted on going to Hanshan Temple to practice asceticism, but she knew that her young lady had her own opinions since she was young and thought more thoroughly than herself. Since her young lady had made up her mind, she just had to support her.

Anyway, even if the young lady stayed in the Dongchang Marquis Mansion, her life would not necessarily be better than in the temple. The old marquis and his wife had just left, and the new marquis and his wife already had this attitude. The clerk really couldn't imagine how miserable the young lady's life would be if she stayed in the mansion.

The next morning, Qin Wanrong took the clerk and her wet nurse, Nanny Xing, and went to the main courtyard to bid farewell to Marquis Qin Li. Without waiting for Mother Wang to report in, they just bowed outside the main courtyard, left a few polite words to express their reluctance, and left.

In the main courtyard, Lord Qin and Madam Li woke up early in the morning. Before they were fully conscious, they heard the servants report that Qin Wanrong had left the house. They looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling that Qin Wanrong was not what they had imagined.

Lord Qin thought that Qin Wanrong would come to him today to beg for mercy and delay the time for her to go into meditation. Last night he had been thinking in his mind how he would shut Qin Wanrong up when he saw her today and laugh at her for losing more than she gained.

"My third sister, she just passed away like this?" Li's question also expressed the thoughts of Marquis Qin, "What was she trying to achieve? Could it be that she was really filial?"

"Hmph, who cares what she's thinking? Since you're already there, just stay in the temple for three full years."

At this point, Lord Qin still hadn't reacted. Qin Wanrong was "forced" to go to Hanshan Temple by her brother and sister-in-law yesterday, and left the house early this morning without even having breakfast. If others knew about this, they would definitely believe that the couple at the Dongchang Marquis's mansion would not tolerate their younger sister.

Fortunately, these two people were stupid and didn't think about this. They only cared about money. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Qin Wanrong to achieve her goal so easily and wait for the rabbit at Hanshan Temple.

"Mother Wang, what did my third sister take with her when she left home? I wonder if she brought enough money for the incense offering to the temple?" As soon as Li said this, Mother Wang, who was her dowry mother, immediately understood what Li meant.

Without waiting for Mother Wang to answer, Lord Qin, who was as close as husband and wife to Li, immediately thought of the key point and asked Mother Wang with a grim expression.

"Third sister is young and naive. She is going there to observe mourning and pray for her parents. She cannot bring gold or silver. It is inappropriate. Before she leaves, did you check her carefully?"

The couple were confused about other things, but they were very careful about money. Mother Wang knew what kind of people the Li couple were and what they wanted to ask, so she quickly answered, "The third young lady was in mourning for the old marquis and his wife, so she only packed some plain clothes, scriptures and the like in her bag. She didn't bring any jewelry, just a little money for incense."

After hearing Mother Wang's answer, Li smiled with satisfaction. Although Lord Qin did not smile, it was not difficult to tell from his relaxed expression that he was very satisfied that Qin Wanrong did not take away the valuables.

At this time, Li was thinking about finding a reason to go to Qin Wanrong's yard to rob things. You know, when the old Dongchang Marquis and his wife were still alive, although Qin Wanrong was not favored, she had everything she deserved and nothing was lacking. Although the Dongchang Marquis's Mansion was in decline, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. After all, it is much richer than the Li family, which came from a noble family.

The Dongchang Marquisate still has some foundation now. After a thorough investigation in two years, in order to keep the title of the Marquisate, they will really sell all their assets just to get money to redeem the title.

Hanshan Temple is located on Hanshan Mountain in the north of Bianjing City, not far from the Dongchang Marquis Mansion. It only takes half a day to get there by carriage. Qin Wanrong and her servants were silent all the way, shaking with fear in their hearts to the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, the carriage could not be used, and the three of them had to walk the rest of the way. The clerk looked at the towering mountain peaks, then at the winding and rugged mountain road, and looked at Qin Wanrong worriedly: "Miss, you are weak, why don't you let me carry you up?"

Qin Wanrong looked at the clerk's frail body and said no, she shook her head and said firmly: "I'm fine, I can do it myself."

Aunt Xing, who was old, needed help from others to climb the mountain. She was really powerless and could only comfort her softly: "Miss, why don't the three of us climb the mountain together and climb slowly? I think there should be no problem."

After listening to Nanny Xing's suggestion, Qin Wanrong said it was no problem. Seeing that the young lady insisted on climbing by herself, the clerk no longer insisted on carrying anyone on his back, and the three of them climbed up the mountain with each person supporting the other.

In a rest pavilion halfway up the mountain of Hanshan Temple, Emperor Zhao Zhen, the eunuchs and some guards were resting in the pavilion when they saw three women, old and young, supporting each other and climbing the mountain pitifully. What happened in Dongchang Marquis Mansion yesterday had not yet spread, and the Emperor did not know the identities of the three people in front of him. He just couldn't help but sigh that even at the foot of Bianliang where he was, there were still people with miserable lives.

"Master Liang, go and ask the mother and her two daughters if they need help?" The emperor Zhao Zhen was kind-hearted. He felt sorry for Qin Wanrong, Nanny Xing and the clerk because they thought that the widowed mother had nowhere to go with her two daughters who had not yet reached marriage age and had to stay at Hanshan Temple.

Liang Duzhi just turned around and prepared to go over after hearing what the official said, but he saw the official waving his hand, "Forget it, you don't have to go."

"When they arrive at the temple, you go and tell the abbot to help them and give them more money for incense." The official thought about it and felt that it would be better to help silently from behind.

Liang Duzhi stayed where he was and waited for a while. Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, he responded to the order. He did not retreat, but just found a eunuch and whispered a few words to him. It was not the turn of Liang Duzhi, a personal eunuch, to do such a small matter personally.

So when Qin Wanrong and the other two arrived at Hanshan Temple and found the abbot, they had just explained their purpose and before they introduced their identities, the abbot enthusiastically interrupted them and arranged the courtyard for them.

"Miss, could it be that someone in the Marquis' Mansion has made arrangements in advance?" The clerk was also confused. They had just arrived and hadn't said anything yet?

Before Qin Wanrong could answer, Nanny Xing spoke up first and said, "Impossible. If Lord Qin and his wife had such a heart, Miss wouldn't have to come here specially to observe mourning."

After Aunt Xing said this, Wenshu felt stupid. She thought for a moment and continued to speculate: "Could it be that the monks in Hanshan Temple are merciful?"

Wanrong was also confused, but she turned around and looked at her small body that had not yet been transformed, and then turned around and looked at Aunt Xing and the clerk. The "old, weak, sick and disabled" were all occupied. I guess the monks in Hanshan Temple are really compassionate, right?
