Chapter Thirty-Six: The Disturbance in the Buddhist Hall
Holding the book in her arms, Ding Xilan walked through the corridor and inadvertently glanced at the Buddhist hall in the northwest corner of Xiyuan. She was stunned for a moment, stopped, and looked at the Buddhist hall in trance.
That Buddhist hall is located in the most remote corner of Xiyuan, and there are no other rooms nearby. It is alone. It is estimated that it is also the most remote house in the entire Lei Mansion. It is said that that Buddhist hall is specially used for those who have made mistakes.
A place where family members sit back and reflect on their past.
And now, Hong Fangyin, the eldest lady of Lei Mansion, lives in that Buddhist hall and has lived there for ten years. Her husband, son and daughter have never seen her. Doesn’t she feel lonely? Even if she was real back then.
After harming the third lady, wouldn't Uncle Lei and the others forgive her a little bit after living alone for ten years? Why did they never come to see her? What's more, Ding Xilan felt that this matter was still suspicious, why did Uncle Lei
Didn't they even notice?
Thinking of this, Ding Xilan turned around and walked towards the Buddhist hall.
This month, she was busy reading medical books and almost forgot about such a thing. The eldest lady's experience made her very sympathetic: as a wife, her husband did not come to see her; and as a mother, her children did not come to see her either.
Come and see her. Isn’t this a very tragic thing for a woman?
She had also secretly made up her mind long ago: she would investigate this matter thoroughly.
Tenglong Pavilion is not very far from the Buddhist hall, but because the corridor is winding and winding, it took Ding Xilan almost a moment to reach the outside of the Buddhist hall.
The small door of the Buddhist hall was closed tightly, and the windows were also closed tightly, as if to isolate this place from the outside world. Ding Xilan walked lightly and approached the door, not daring to disturb the people in the room.
She heard that the eldest lady's temper was not very good. Although her temper had improved in recent years, Xiaofang still told her not to disturb her. Ding Xilan remembered Xiaofang's words.
Listening to the sound of wooden fish coming from the house, it was crisp but not urgent, slight but powerful. It was obvious that the person who knocked the wooden fish was in a very peaceful mood at the moment, without any irritation. Ding Xilan couldn't help but feel surprised. She had thought that if it was a loud sound,
The madam was wrongly accused, and she must have been furious. Even after ten years, the anger in her heart would never be gone. However, I didn't expect that the eldest madam would be so calm now.
Wasn't she wrongly accused? No, it was impossible. Instinct told Ding Xilan that this matter was not that simple, and there were indeed doubts about it.
However, since the eldest lady was living so peacefully, Ding Xilan did not want to disturb her for the time being. After standing outside the door for a while, she turned and left. Unexpectedly, when she was going down the steps, no one had cleaned the steps for a long time.
It was overgrown with weeds, mixed with moss and mud, and it had just rained two days ago, so it was a bit slippery. Ding Xilan accidentally fell and the book in her arms fell on the marble slab in front of her.
Ding Xilan ignored the pain in her legs and struggled to get up. There was nothing wrong with reading, so she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the book was not broken, otherwise, that guy would never give up.
However, the worry that had just been put down was raised again: she was worried that the sound just now would alert the eldest lady in the room. What should she do if she alerted the eldest lady in the room?
Sure enough, a rather majestic voice came from the room: "Who is outside?"
