Seeing the two children sitting obediently in front of her, Mrs. Xia showed a somewhat satisfied look on her face.
She picked up the tea cup in front of her and said coldly: "You two went out for a trip like this, but did you find out anything?"
Xia Wuyao was about to speak, but as if she remembered something, she immediately shut her mouth and looked at Lin Mengya with pleading eyes.
Lin Mengya thinks this girl is a little too timid outside?
In her opinion, Mrs. Xia was indeed strict, but not intimidating.
What's more, Mrs. Xia's concern for her daughter is not fake, it is not superficial.
Lin Mengya could see that to be able to develop a character like Xia Wuyao's, Mrs. Xia must not be as serious and cold as she seemed on the surface. It's just that mother and daughter lacked communication, so sometimes they would misunderstand each other's meanings.
Lin Mengya had no time to care about Xia Wuyao's mood now. She thought for a moment and told the clues she had observed.
"The death of Miss Xueshu is indeed very problematic. The Buddhist monastery where she lived before her death did not look like it was for monks, but rather for ordinary people. And I also found a monastery in the corner of that monastic room.
To the doll."
Lin Mengya did not bring out the pair of dolls because she was afraid of disturbing the situation.
But as a married person, she could tell at a glance that this kind of doll was definitely not suitable to be placed in the Zen room, because these dolls were usually given as gifts to newlyweds.
When a woman gets married, her mother will usually give her something to give her. The so-called "pressure" actually means that before she gets married, the woman's female elders will teach her some problems that she may encounter on her wedding night.
Only with a preliminary understanding can the young couple not be in a hurry and make some ridiculous jokes on the wedding night.
Especially some dolls, although they cannot be displayed in front of others, newlyweds usually have several pairs in their wedding room. In this case, how can such dolls appear in the Zen room?
If Miss Xueshu had a sweetheart, the matter could be covered up, but in fact the scars on Miss Xueshu were caused by a woman, and she was innocent until her death.
Therefore, Lin Mengya felt that these dolls should not belong to Miss Xueshu.
In fact, some people pointed out that for example, there are actually mandarin duck patterns in the Zen room. In short, it is not an accident for these things to appear in ordinary people's homes, but if they appear here, it is something very wrong.
After Lin Mengya finished speaking, Mrs. Xia stared blankly at the girl in front of her, her eyes suddenly becoming sharp.
"Who sent you? What do you know?"
Xia Wuyao was startled. She immediately wanted to plead for Miss Huo, but was stopped in place by her mother's cold look.
"I'm asking her something, why are you interrupting?"
When Lin Mengya saw how thorough Mrs.
, said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Mrs. Xia, whether you believe it or not, before today I really didn't know
"I want to know your identities. But just now you told me that your surname is Xia, and since you are cultivating in this Zen monastery, I would venture to guess that you must be related to the Xia family." "It's just that I don't have any experience with you.
I am thinking, and meeting Miss Xueshu today was purely accidental. And I can find out so much because I have traveled with my father since I was a child. The more I see, the more I know.
"
"If you don't believe me, or you suspect that I have other motives, you can arrest me, and my innocence will be proven when the truth comes to light."
Lin Mengya's move was a dangerous move, but she was betting that Mrs. Xia was not that pedantic person.
There is a saying that children are the mirror of their parents, and the personality of their parents will be reflected in their children.
From the first time she met Xia Wuyao, she knew that she was a girl who liked to do chivalry and justice.
If her parents were both cunning and mean people, Miss Xia would never have the temperament she has today.
As for President Xia, Lin Mengya didn't have a very good impression of him, so she felt that Xia Wuyao's mother must have played a decisive role in her character, and that was indeed the case.
Xia Wuyao was a little anxious.
She knew that her mother had a very stubborn temperament. Once her mother decided something, no one was qualified to intervene and change it.
She has continuously refreshed this understanding over the past ten years.
So before the mother made a decision, she had to intercede for her unexpected friend.
Yes, Xia Wuyao felt that the girl Huo in front of her had the same interests as her, and she also saw the kind of chivalrous heart in her that she liked very much.
So, she bravely said: "Mom! I still don't think Miss Huo has any bad intentions. If she really wanted to get close to us, she wouldn't have insisted on leaving yesterday!"
"Wu Yao, do you know that there are people in the world who are good at delving into other people's thoughts. As the saying goes, you know the person but not the heart. Maybe she is retreating in order to advance, deliberately making us think that she is not that kind of person?"
"No!" Xia Wuyao defended Miss Huo anxiously.
"Yesterday I almost misunderstood and started fighting with them. If they really wanted to get involved, then I could use this as an excuse to get involved, right?"
"Mother! I really feel that Miss Huo has no ill intentions towards us. If she had, she wouldn't have gone to all the trouble to do this for Miss Xueshu!"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became deadlocked. Mrs. Xia looked deeply at her daughter. After a long time, she exhaled, but her expression was not as thunderous and angry as Xia Wuyao had thought before.
"Well, now that you are older and have your own judgment, I don't need to explain some things so clearly."
Xia Wuyao was a little confused, but others, such as Wu's mother and Lin Mengya, breathed a sigh of relief.
This Mrs. Xia's temper is really... ever-changing. Lin Mengya can only use this word to describe her.
But she also knew very well that this mother had only one thought from beginning to end, and that was to protect her daughter.
Mother Wu quickly came out to smooth things over.
"Oh, my lady! Madam was also worried about you just now, for fear that you would be deceived again." She turned to Lin Mengya and said, "Miss Huo, don't worry too much. In fact, this young lady in our family is outspoken. I met her before."
I have met many bad people. Our wife was really afraid that she would suffer a loss, so she couldn’t help but think more about it.
It's a bit harsh, but I don't have any bad intentions towards you at all."
Lin Mengya didn't say anything, but she knew very well that if Mrs. Xia caught hold of what she just said, it wouldn't be enough to just reprimand her.
But she was fortunate that she really came with good intentions, otherwise today would be really self-defeating.
When Mrs. Xia looked at Lin Mengya again, her eyes were less wary and more appreciative.
"What I'm going to say to you two next, you'll have to swallow it in your stomach once you get out of this door. You must never say it out loud. Do you understand?"
Mrs. Xia's words made Lin Mengya and Xia Wuyao realize something, so they nodded seriously and made a guarantee. "Wuyao, when you were born, I funded the construction of this Qinglian Temple.
. But at that time, the land deed on this hilltop was a dowry given to me by your grandfather. I originally wanted to give the land deed to the abbot's wife.
But something happened afterwards and the matter was delayed, so strictly speaking, this Qinglian Temple belongs to us."
Lin Mengya was a little surprised.
In fact, Buddhism and Taoism were also popular in Weiguo before.
There is a temple next to Feiye City. The temple covers a large area, so when he wanted to expand the main city area, he discussed it with the host there to see if he could buy it at a price.
In fact, according to the rules, the palace family and property belong to her alone.
However, when the Gong family was in trouble, many people took the opportunity to buy some land at a low price, and then many people maliciously occupied it.
For this group of people, she had directly dismissed them without giving any face.
After all, these people didn't have any good intentions. How could she look good on someone who was trying to make trouble for the Gong family?
But the situation at the temple is a bit complicated.
The situation here is a voluntary donation.
Although there were no such legal provisions in ancient times, due to popular sentiment, if she demolished the temple, it would definitely destroy her reputation.
Fortunately, the hosting master was very transparent.
It was also because the power of the Gong family was at its peak at that time, and the abbot master knew very well that even if he did not hand over the land deed, once Lin Mengya took notice of him, his entire temple would be destroyed.
Although Lin Mengya is not that cruel, she can't stand others thinking so.
In the end, the two parties reached an agreement. Lin Mengya did not take back all the land deeds, but retained part of the temple.
As for the excess occupied space, it was returned, and Lin Mengya used these spaces to build some commercial streets.
In this way, it can actually bring some traffic to the temple. Now it is very popular there, and the relationship between the host master and her has become very harmonious.
So when Lin Mengya heard that the land deed here actually belonged to Mrs. Xia, she felt that Mrs. Xia was really smart!
It's not that she thinks it's not good to build a temple, but that the land is actually quite large, and considering the distance, Harbor City is not too far away, so it can be reused.
Xia Wuyao looked at her mother blankly. "What does mother mean by this, is that this Qinglian Zen Temple actually belongs to us?"
