The morning frost was glistening and the sky was not bright yet, the door of Wuqiu Temple opened.
A covered carriage had been waiting in front of the door.
The driver was wearing an old felt hat, hunched over his shoulders, and stamped his feet from time to time.
It's really getting colder today.
Half of his face poked out of the door, wearing a gray monk's hat, and he looked around carefully.
Then he went back and opened the door wider.
There were several people behind her, including Jingkong, the abbot of the nunnery, and a young Taoist nun.
She was veiled and carrying a parcel in her hand.
Next are Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan.
Judging from the situation, it seemed that the Taoist nun was leaving, and these few people saw her off.
Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan obviously couldn't bear to be separated. Jiang Nuan kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and Xu Chunjun comforted her from time to time.
"Take care, and if it's convenient, write a letter every year so that we know you are safe." Xu Chunjun said, holding the Taoist nun's hand.
"Can't you just leave?" Jiang Nuan seemed to be unwilling to give up, "Let's hide you well."
The Taoist nun said nothing, but shook her head, obviously determined to leave.
Xu Chunjun sighed softly and said: "I have to say farewell to you after thousands of miles. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. I will cherish it."
Jingkong also said: "Let's go! It's still early in the day."
The Taoist nun nodded, turned around and prepared to get in the car.
At this moment, dozens of people suddenly came from both sides of the road, all riding horses. They quickly arrived and surrounded these people.
"Who are you?!" Jingkong asked warily.
"Master Jingkong, didn't you say you were practicing in seclusion? Why did you get out of seclusion so quickly?" The leader joked with a smile, "Don't panic, we are just three wives who want to meet old friends."
"Who is Sanniang? We don't know each other." Jingkong said, "Don't cause trouble in front of our nunnery!"
"Master, don't be angry!" The leader seemed to like teasing people, "It's not easy to break the precepts after so many years of cultivation."
At this time, Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan had already protected the Taoist nun behind them.
Jiang Nuan said angrily: "I don't care where you come from, but you are not allowed to make mistakes! If you don't leave quickly, you will never get the good news!"
"Oh, it turns out to be Mrs. Huo! I'm so disrespectful!" The man was laughing and joking, not serious at all, "Aren't you going out so early to say goodbye to your friends? The same goes for our three wives. Just wait a moment, why rush?
At this time."
They had long known that Huo Tian was not in the capital now, not to mention that Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan did not dare to bring more people here in order to avoid being noticed.
At this time, many families, including the Cen family, the Chen family, the Ke family, and the Zeng family, all received secret letters, saying that Cen Yunchu had been found and that if they wanted to meet, they could come to Wuqiu Temple outside the city.
Everyone knew the news and didn't know whether it was true or not, but they undoubtedly wanted to know the whereabouts of Cen Yunchu, so people came from every house.
Among them were relatives and friends of the Cen family, as well as families with whom they had bad relations.
The originally deserted door of Wuqiu Temple was soon blocked with water.
The sun was rising at this time, but it was still cold.
"Is the veiled one Yunchu?"
"It looks like it."
"Why did she become a monk?"
"Why are those people surrounding this place?"
People were whispering.
The second master of the Cen family was away, the third master went to court, and the fourth master Cen Gang and his two nephews came.
When they saw it, they were about to come forward, but were stopped by the third lady.
"Everyone, please be patient! Our third wife will be there shortly. She has something to say," the leader said.
"That's unreasonable! Who is the Third Lady?!" Cen Ran said angrily, "Is it her turn to take care of our family's affairs?!"
However, there are so many people in Sanniangzi that it is impossible for them to force their way through.
No one expected such a scene, so we didn’t bring too many people.
It would take a while to go back and call for help now.
"Make way, the Third Lady is here!" Someone shouted loudly from outside.
Everyone turned around and saw eight neatly dressed bearers carrying a very gorgeous sedan approaching.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder who this third lady was.
The sedan landed, but the people inside did not come out. They just said: "Everyone, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. However, what I am going to say in a moment is extremely exciting, and it will definitely make your trip worthwhile!"
"
"Who are you?! You are so secretive, you are obviously not a good person!" Jiang Nuan shouted angrily, "Everyone, please ignore her!"
"I'm hiding my head and showing my tail, so please ask the person behind you to take off the veil! Let everyone see her true face!" Sanniangzi general said, "As long as she takes off the veil, I will take off the veil from the sedan chair."
Come out."
"You...you..." Jiang Nuan stuttered in anger, "You are using strong words to make sense!"
"Get out of my way!" Mr. Cen wanted to force his way through.
If that person was really Cen Yunchu, naturally she could not let her scars be exposed in public.
But how could Sanniangzi's people let them get their wish?
What's more, people passing by at this time also stopped to watch the excitement. It was really three floors inside and three floors outside.
The entrance to Wuqiu Nunnery was also blocked, so even if they approached, they still couldn't get out.
"What should I do about Sister Xu? Think of a way!" Jiang Nuan grabbed Xu Chunjun's sleeve and said.
"Don't listen to rumors, this person is not Yun Chu." Xu Chunjun said loudly, "I will guarantee it with my life!"
"If it's not true, let her take off the veil!" Someone in the crowd cheered.
"That's right, it's so simple. Those who are clear will be clean themselves." Someone immediately agreed.
But Xu Chunjun, Jiang Nuan and others blocked the Taoist nun even more tightly.
There is no three hundred taels of silver here!
This is obviously trying to cover up the truth!
"Since she refuses to pick it, forget it," the third lady said, "I'll tell you a story!"
"Don't listen!" Ke Wangchen shouted loudly, "Stop playing tricks here! What kind of grudge do you have with my sister?!"
"Is that person your sister?" Sanniangzi asked.
"No!" Ke Wangchen answered firmly.
"Giggle..." Sanniangzi smiled happily and said, "In that case, I will tell her story. You can't care about this, right? If you don't want to hear it, just leave. I will never stop you."
But Ke Wangchen refused to leave, his face tightened and he said nothing.
"I have to tell this story a long time ago," Sanniangzi said. "There is a lady of noble birth in this capital..."
She emphasized the word "noble" very seriously.
"People say that she is both talented and beautiful, and she is pure and pure, which is even rarer than the fairies in the sky. But I didn't expect that this young lady encountered an accident on her wedding day and was abducted from the sedan chair by someone!
People were looking for her everywhere, but no one could find her in heaven or on earth.
In fact, after this young lady was kidnapped, she was reduced to a situation worse than even a prostitute!"
As Sanniangzi narrated, the young woman dressed as a Taoist nun covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly.
