Chapter 107
"I remember that your mother's birthday is coming soon, so don't stay here to serve me. Go back and spend a few days with your mother."
Lin Yunwan was talking to Tao Ye in the Buddhist hall.
Taoye said anxiously: "Grandma, I have my brother and sister-in-law at home to take care of my mother, so there is no need for me to go back. I still have to stay with you."
Aunt Ge has been watching her with eager eyes these days, and grandma has sent Master Changgong back to study.
She is always restless, how dare she leave now?
Lin Yunwan smiled and said, "Listen to me and go back."
The candles in the nunnery were still burning during the day. When she saw a few more candles extinguished, she took a few candles as thick as her fingers and went over to replace them.
"You don't have to worry about me. Isn't there an old sister-in-law and two younger sisters-in-law here? Pingye will come over too, so don't worry and go back."
Taoye thought for a while, Lin Yunwan always had her own ideas when doing things, and then said: "Then I will go back for two days. I will be back in two days."
"Pack the things you brought yourself, lest someone ignorant take them away from you and you won't be able to find them."
The sister-in-law in the nunnery is not familiar with them, so who knows if her hands and feet will be clean.
Taoye was careful and had already thought of this, so he said, "I'll go take care of it now."
I packed a baggage and took it with me.
When Ge Baoer saw Taoye leaving, he took the initiative to serve in the Buddhist hall. She couldn't do anything else but help grind ink.
"Grandma, I saw Miss Taoye leaving with her baggage. It seems that she didn't leave for just a short while. If grandma doesn't mind it... I am willing to accompany you to chant sutras and pray for blessings."
Lin Yunwan lowered her head to copy Buddhist scriptures and ignored her.
"If you don't drive me away, I will stay."
Ge Baoer knelt on the futon and helped to grind the ink.
When it got dark, the old lady from the nunnery came with her two sisters-in-law to deliver food. Lu Changgong happened to be coming from the Hou Mansion and saw Ge Baoer next to Lin Yunwan. He was stunned for a moment, walked in and shouted: "Mother."
The old lady said awkwardly: "...I didn't know that the young master came here and didn't prepare your fast meal."
Lu Changgong said calmly: "I have eaten."
He didn't even look at the old lady, but looked at Ge Baoer.
The old lady was preoccupied with the matter of fast food. Knowing that Lu Changgong was not here to eat, she said, "I will send grandma and aunt's fast food to the room, and the two little ones will go there to clean it up later."
Lin Yunwan nodded and took Lu Changgong back to the side room to have dinner.
She knew Lu Changgong's character, so she asked him, "Have you really eaten it?"
Lu Changgong touched his nose.
After he finished studying, he saw that it was getting dark. He was in a hurry to get out. Of course, he didn't have time to have dinner.
Lin Yunwan said: "If you don't think the vegetarian meal is too vegetarian, just eat whatever you want." She divided the food between two bowls and gave it to him.
Neither mother nor son spoke.
After the sister-in-law came over to clear away the dishes, Lu Changgong said: "Mother, Sister Taoye is no longer here, and my son wants to come over and stay with you."
He was not surprised at all as to why Taoye left at this time, and said calmly: "The clan studies have not started yet, and my son can read and write in the nunnery. You don't have to worry about delaying your son's study."
One sentence eliminated the possibility of Lin Yunwan not letting him come.
Lin Yunwan held a scroll in her hand and raised her head to look at him.
This child's cheeks are delicate and charming, his eyes are too dark, and his eyes look tougher than ordinary people.
"longbow."
Lin Yunwan closed her eyes and sighed softly. When she opened them, her eyes were very gentle: "In the future, I will listen to your uncle for everything. Your uncle really loves you and he knows how to plan for you."
"Mother!"
Lu Changgong stood up anxiously, wanting to ask something, but couldn't.
Lin Yunwan drove him away: "Go back and don't come again in the next few days. I'm going to the Buddhist temple to pray and chant sutras."
Lu Changgong didn't want to leave, but Lin Yunwan had already gone to the Buddhist hall, where she knelt on the futon, knocked on the wooden fish, and recited Buddhist scriptures.
It seemed that his mother would not talk to him any more.
He stood in the corridor for a while before leaving. Before he could get far, he saw Ge Baoer entering.
Lu Changgong was very obedient, so he left tonight.
"grandmother?"
Ge Baoer accompanied him and found that Lin Yunwan had fallen asleep.
She shouted softly, but Lin Yunwan still didn't wake up. She went out quietly, closed the door, and went to Lin Yunwan's room.
After rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a long time, I couldn't find any trace of the jade pendant.
When she came out, the old lady from the nunnery came with a lantern and asked in surprise: "Auntie, what are you doing in grandma's room?"
Ge Baoer showed her a thick woolen coat in his hand and said, "Grandma is asleep. I'm afraid of freezing her."
The old lady said nothing and continued to check the candles everywhere.
Ge Baoer waited until the old lady left, then sent the big woolen clothes to the Buddhist hall and covered Lin Yunwan.
"grandmother?"
Still no movement, sleeping really deeply.
Ge Baoer looked at Lin Yunwan coldly for a while, the fire in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
"If you didn't say that in front of Brother Qing..."
She may not be cruel enough to kill.
Ge Baoer left the Buddhist hall and closed the door from the outside.
She went to the small kitchen in the Buddhist hall.
"Fake sister-in-law!"
All she was given was vegetarian rice, but she secretly ate vegetables stir-fried with meat and oil. She knew where the meat and oil was hidden. It was such a big bucket!
"I don't know if it's enough to burn down the entire Buddhist temple..."
It was the first time he did such a thing, but Ge Baoer was not afraid at all.
She was even a little excited. Once Lin Yunwan died, no one would talk nonsense to Brother Qing anymore.
Where can the jade pendant be hidden?
Buddhist temple.
Lin Yunwan opened her eyes. She pulled off the hair covering her body and looked at the door of the Buddhist hall. Sure enough, it was locked from the outside.
Lin Yunwan went to the back window to check. The back window was usually closed, but she had opened it in advance.
She picked up the candlestick and dropped the wax oil on the curtain. As long as the flame was drawn up, the curtain would burn.
Lin Yunwan paused for a moment, then lit the curtain on fire.
Regardless of whether Ge Baoer sets the fire or not, there will be a fire in the Buddhist hall.
"squeak--"
Lin Yunwan heard the sound of the window opening. She turned her head and looked over, her eyes widening in surprise.
No one else, but Lu Changgong!
How could it be a longbow!
"longbow!"
Lu Changgong came in through the window, looked at Lin Yunwan, and asked puzzledly: "Mother, you...why..."
Why burn yourself to death?
"Get out quickly!"
Lin Yunwan urged, the fire will start soon, it's no joke!
Someone outside was urging me in a low voice.
Lu Changgong somewhat understood.
"Mother, you...you want to leave?"
Lin Yunwan pursed her lips, wondering whether she should say this to a ten-year-old child.
But now was really not the time to talk about this. She frowned and said, "Let's go out first!"
Lu Changgong nodded and said, "I'll take you out first."
