Chapter 106
Lin Yunyi left quickly, with very stiff steps.
Taoye asked worriedly: "Grandma, what did you say to Master Yun Yi?"
Lin Yunwan didn't reveal a word.
A few days later, Lu Changgong and Brother Qing came to greet her.
He said he was saying hello, but actually he was trying to persuade her to go back.
Brother Qing said: "Mother, old lady and father are all thinking about you and want to see you. My son also... misses you too."
He was always good at talking, so he came up to her and said, "Mother, your sons can only be filial to you when you are at home. But when you are in the nunnery, your sons cannot come to see you all the time."
Lin Yunwan knelt in front of the Buddha, closing her eyes and knocking on the wooden fish.
Lu Changgong looked at his mother from the side and said nothing.
Brother Qing had accepted the instructions and whispered to Lu Changgong: "Brother, please advise mother..."
Lu Changgong knelt down and said, "Mother, my son will accompany you in chanting sutras."
He had never read Buddhist scriptures at all, but he heard someone recite them occasionally, so he only repeated those few sentences: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, after practicing the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time, he saw that all the five aggregates are empty..."
Brother Qing felt ashamed.
Obviously the old lady and her father told them that they must persuade their mother to come back. Why is the eldest brother disobedient?
He had no choice but to kneel down as well, and he couldn't read even more. He couldn't even speak a word. He lowered his head and rubbed his arms.
It's too cold in the Buddhist hall, not as warm as at home.
"Everyone, get up."
Lin Yunwan put down the wooden fish and stopped reciting. She said to the two children, "You are still young. Why do you follow me in reciting sutras?"
Taoye helped Lu Changgong and Brother Qing up one by one.
Lu Changgong said calmly: "My son is reciting sutras for no other reason. He has the same heart as his mother, just to pray for his elders."
Brother Qing also quickly said: "Brother is right, my son thinks so too!"
No matter whether his mother still ignores him or not, he can't offend her. If the eldest brother says anything nice, he can just follow it.
Lin Yunwan asked them to go to the east wing together, and finally said: "You can go back, don't waste any time, I won't go back."
Both men lowered their heads.
Of course Lu Changgong also hopes that his mother will go back, because the nunnery is too miserable.
Not to mention Brother Qing... Only when my mother goes back will the family be at peace.
"Brother Qing, do you know why I don't want to go back?"
Lin Yunwan suddenly asked.
Brother Qing raised his head, looked at her blankly, and said, "Son... I don't know."
Lin Yunwan said with gentle eyes: "Because of your biological mother. Brother Qing, you were originally my legitimate son, and I was your legitimate mother. The family is in harmony. Just because of your biological mother, you became a bastard, and I had to avoid this nunnery. Come here."
"Do you know what people outside will say and treat you when you grow up?"
Lin Yunwan paused and said, "There's no need to wait until you grow up. When you get to the clan school, you'll understand."
Brother Qing was flustered for a moment, pursed his lips, and asked, "What will they do to me?"
Lin Yun was silent.
Brother Qing couldn't sit still anymore. He walked up to Lin Yunwan and begged, "Mother, you are my aunt's mother! My son regards you as his aunt's mother in his heart! Mother, don't dislike your son. Can you go home?"
"I will be as filial to you as my elder brother from now on!"
Lin Yunwan pushed his hand away ruthlessly and said: "Brother Qing, it's not that I want to dislike you, nor that you are annoying. Think about it carefully. If your aunt hadn't fallen into the water on your birthday by chance, we would have Like now?"
"It doesn't matter if you can't understand it now. You still have a long time to think about it slowly, and it will take your whole life to think about it. One day you will understand what is truly good and what is harming you..."
Brother Qing completely remembered the day of his birthday when his biological mother fell into the water.
Could his mother... not fall into the water that day! Then...will he always be the legitimate son of his legitimate mother?
There was also soup for Yan's mother. He knew that the soup was definitely not an ordinary soup.
Mom is really doing it all for him, okay?
He doesn't know, he doesn't know...
"Grandma! You don't need to say such cruel words to a child!"
Ge Baoer rushed in, and the maid couldn't hold him back.
She looked at Lin Yunwan coldly, hating her in her heart!
It turns out that this is how Lin Yunwan spoke ill of her in front of Brother Qing when she was away!
Everyone in the wing looked at her very impatiently.
Brother Qing was also a little wary, pursed his lips and did not approach her.
Ge Baoer said nervously: "Qing'er, don't listen to her nonsense! Mom has never harmed you! Falling into the water was...an accident too!" Of course she couldn't admit that she fell into the water on purpose.
Brother Qing lowered his head.
Lin Yunwan didn't want to hear Ge Baoer making a noise here, so she got up and kicked out the guests: "You all go back."
Lu Changgong bowed and said, "Mother, take care of yourself. My son and brother will go back first."
Brother Qing also said: "Mom, take care, my son is leaving."
The tone was very gentle.
He didn't know why, if his aunt had a nicer attitude toward him, he couldn't help but get close to her. He even forgot about the harsh words his aunt had spoken to him. He was still thinking... thinking that it would be great if he could win back his aunt.
The two brothers left together. Brother Qing only called out "aunt" in a hurry and stopped talking to Ge Baoer.
Ge Baoer chased him out and looked at Brother Qing's back, feeling sad.
This is her son! How could you be so close to Lin Yunwan!
What is he thinking about her now? Did you believe Lin Yunwan's instigation?
"Grandma. Don't say such things in front of Brother Qing in the future. He is just a child!"
Ge Baoer said coldly.
Lin Yunwan smiled and asked, "Aren't I telling the truth? You don't think that if I don't tell him, he won't be able to guess that it was you who caused his legitimate son to become a bastard, right? It was you who caused him to be accused by thousands of people."
"Brother Qing is very smart and grows up very quickly. I think he will understand everything in a few years."
Ge Baoer's heart went cold after hearing this.
In a few years, her son will start to hate her!
Returning to the house, she picked up a pair of scissors and stabbed the pillow she had brought.
"Lin Yunwan, if you don't die, Brother Qing will really hate me!"
She looked at the east wing and smiled, completely ignoring the old lady's warning.
"No matter what I have done, as long as I get the jade pendant back, what will the Lu family dare to do to me?"
"The jade pendant... you hide it, no matter how tight you hide it, it doesn't matter? I don't believe you can take it into the coffin after you die!"
Late night.
Lin Yunwan finished reciting the sutra and got up from the futon. The temple was filled with the light of candles.
Tao Ye accompanied her and helped her back to her room, saying, "My aunt is not asleep yet. When you came out, she looked into the Buddhist hall."
Lin Yunwan said, "Let her see it. Just pretend you didn't see it."
Taoye was afraid that Ge Baoer had bad intentions, so she secretly watched you for several nights, and said to Lin Yunwan, "When you came out of the Buddhist hall, my aunt secretly watched you every night!"
Lin Yunwan was still indifferent.
Lu Changgong came over to pray with her. She went back to her room to sleep at midnight, and he stayed with her until midnight.
"It's getting late, go to sleep in the wing."
"yes."
When Lin Yunwan was about to leave the Buddhist hall, she saw a few candles on the shelf extinguished, so she went to replace them with new ones before returning to the wing.
Ge Baoer waited for Lin Yunwan to enter the house, then opened the window and looked openly.
In the past few days, she had figured out when Lin Yunwan got up, when she rested, and how many hours she stayed in the Buddhist hall. When is her maid here and when is she not?
She waited until the lights in Lin Yunwan's room went out before closing the window.
In the darkness, Lu Changgong stood not far away, looking indifferently at the window of Ge Baoer's room.
He closed the window gently and was the last person to fall asleep in the nunnery.
