Chapter 119 Saliva Chicken (3)

Although the accommodation provided by Dali Temple is very good, and each person has his own courtyard, Wen Mingtang still wants to buy a house of his own, probably due to his inner nature.

It's just the price of houses in Chang'an City... Wen Mingtang couldn't help but shake his head when he thought about it. After all, even a great poet from the past time and space once said with emotion: Living in Chang'an is not easy!

If nothing happened to the Wen family, she wouldn't have to think about these things! The Wen family's house was very large, more than enough room for her. But now that the Wen family is gone, she has to do this by herself.

After throwing the dime of silver he got from Lin Fei into the box, locking the box and placing it under the pillow, Wen Mingtang rested his head on his own little treasury, turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

Have a good night's sleep!

…

Wen Mingtang had a good night's sleep here. In Marquis Jingyun's mansion, Mrs. Zheng, who had not eaten such "authentic" Sichuan-style dishes for a long time, was filled with emotions. Even though she had already eaten the evening meal, she still couldn't help it. Moved the chopsticks.

Compared with Duke Jing's anger, Marquis Jingyun and his wife were not as reactionary to Wen Xuance's incident. Hearing this, they only said: "Wen Xuance is also a smart man. His daughter is naturally not stupid and down-to-earth." She needs to stay in Dali Temple to work and be careful, so no one will make things difficult for her."

Regarding the daughter of a notorious criminal official, Marquis Jingyun and his wife's views were quite fair.

…

…

The reasoning behind the "Painted Skin" case has progressed to this point, and it has been directly pushed to this nunnery.

Liu Yuan stood in front of the nunnery, looked back at Shang Feng who was following him, and upon his instruction, he stepped forward and knocked on the door of the nunnery.

There was a sound of a latch being locked from behind the door soon, and as the door of the nunnery was opened, a dull-looking nun in sterile clothing appeared in front of people.

It was the elegant nun Jing'an I saw that day.

She looked at the Dali Temple guards and officials outside the nunnery, as if they had guessed what would happen today. She looked calm, lowered her eyes and said "Amitabha" in a low voice. She smiled bitterly, raised her finger and pointed to the nunnery, saying : "Adults please!"

He invited people in without even asking why.

You must have guessed the reason why they came to the nunnery today! So, do you think you have found the right one?

Liu Yuan thought in his heart, and subconsciously looked back at Lin Fei who was following him, trying to see the expression on Shang Feng's face, but then... he saw nothing.

Shangfeng's expressionless face showed no emotion at all.

Liu Yuan shook his head and walked in first.

The female nun Jing'an brought people into the main hall. The rickety female nun Jinghui was kneeling in front of the futon, silently chanting sutras to the Guanyin statue in front of her.

After everyone walked into the main hall, Jinghui, who was kneeling and chanting sutras, stopped chanting sutras, lowered her head to the Guanyin statue and said "Amitabha" and then turned to look at everyone.

"I knew this day would come." Jinghui said.

She was dressed in sterile clothes, but she did not call herself "poor nun" but "I".

After saying this, Jinghui took off the monk's hat on her head under the gaze of everyone, and her long gray hair fell down without the restraint of the monk's hat.

"Jing'an!" Jinghui took off the monk's hat on her head and called again.

Jing'an on the side looked sad and sorrowful. Hearing this, he raised his hand for a moment and took off the monk's hat on his head.

Compared with Jinghui's long gray hair, Jing'an has black hair. At first glance, it seems indescribably inconsistent with the dull, old face.

As if he had expected this scene, a basin of water was placed next to the futon. Jing'an stepped forward to take a handkerchief and began to wash her face. When she wiped the makeup off her face and raised her head again, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Seeing Jing'an who had become "younger" just by washing her face, Liu Yuan was startled and blurted out: "You really have 'painted skin'!"

After washing her face, Jing'an's face was still pale, but she was much younger than before. He looked like he was only in his twenties.

Of course, this age is far from old and stooped.

However, at present, not only one of the two old nuns in the nunnery has changed in age, but both of them are not nuns at all.

Why are these two people staying in this nunnery with their appearance and age changed as nuns?

"My name is Ayou, which is the name that Mrs. Zhuang gave me after she bought me." Jinghui said, "Ms. Zhuang treated me very well back then, but she never treated me harshly when she bought me. Not only did she never treat me harshly, Even the craftsmanship was taught to me.”

The meaning of these words... Liu Yuan was shocked when he heard this, and he immediately reacted: "You can also do lipstick?"

Jinghui nodded and said "Not bad", then raised her head to look at the statue of Guanyin with a particularly bright cinnabar mole on her forehead and red lips, and said, "Lin Shaoqing should have figured it out that day!"

The cinnabar moles and red lips on the Guanyin statue are not smeared with cinnabar as Jinghui and Jing'an claimed, but were smeared with specially prepared lipstick.

Although most men have difficulty distinguishing these colors, Lin Fei is obviously an exception.

"In the files back then, Madam Rouge did have a younger sister, a maid who followed her and a..." Lin Fei said, his eyes falling on Jing'an who lowered his head and wept secretly, "One of her colleagues The daughter of that scholar."

That girl, Zhuang Meiniang, was still in jail. One of the two people in front of her called herself Ayou, so it was obvious who the other one was.

The Jing'an in front of her should be regarded as the daughter born to Madam Rouge and the unfaithful scholar.

"After my wife's accident, everyone avoided us like savage beasts. It was obviously not our fault. Even the fault of my wife for doing such things was the fault of that man and those women! But the world didn't understand. They only stared at us and guarded against us, saying Anyone who comes close to us will be poisoned to death. The feeling of being talked about behind such rumors is really uncomfortable. Later, the second lady couldn't stand it any longer. Her beautiful appearance was noticed by others, so she chose to get married in a hurry. The man refused to let the second lady walk around more with us, so we cut off contact with the second lady." Jinghui said quietly, "The world can't tolerate us, so we came to the mountain. Fortunately, the monks can tolerate us. This nunnery The old nun, the original abbot of the temple, didn't have much time left at that time, so he took us in."

It turned out that they didn't want to become a monk, they just wanted to find a place to stay. No wonder the two of them kept growing their hair and were not really monks.

"The two of us have always been here. With our status as monks, we have lived a somewhat poor life, but we have managed well." Jinghui said, "until the second lady suddenly looked for someone and found us."

"The two young scholars were entrusted by the second lady to find this place." Jinghui said, looking up at Jing'an who was crying secretly, and said, "They saw the lady."

Although Jinghui hadn't finished her words yet, Liu Yuan had a vague inkling of what Jinghui was going to say next. When he thought about this, Liu Yuan couldn't help but twitch his lips: This will probably be the third version of the story of this case!
